"The third phase of the railway project kick-off meeting."

Zhu Neng, Zhang Fu, Huo Zhen, Xu Ning and other hundreds of people entered the large conference hall of the headquarters one after another and sat in their seats in order.

In addition to retaining the original sound reinforcement components and structure, the new conference hall has added some new technology.

In terms of decoration, it is also more luxurious.

The long table was covered with a thick red cloth, and a thin layer of mattress was sewn on the chair.

The teacup tea lid of the porcelain has been filled with hot tea, and the good tea leaves are neatly placed on the table under the arrangement of the clerk's room.

The conference hall is no longer empty, with a lot of objects, painted golden walls, and more people who participate are full of pride.

On the high platform ahead, there is only one vertical platform.

"The little prince has arrived!"

When the people were seated, in less than a cup of tea, four guards walked in from the gate, and Li Biao shouted.

"Whoa."

The meeting hall burst into applause.

In the applause, Zhu Gaochi walked in with a smile, waved his hand as he walked, and walked up through the steps on both sides of the high platform.

"Morning, everyone."

"Whoa."

The answer was a round of applause.

After waiting for a few breaths, Zhu Gaochi raised it and pressed it, and the applause basically stopped at the same time, and the huge conference hall fell silent.

"Today is the 3rd Railway Commencement Kick-off Conference, and it is also a victorious conference." Zhu Gaochi smiled and said loudly.

"Whoa."

The crowd spontaneously applauded again.

The railway engineering team, from a few hundred to nearly 20,000 people, has shaped different atmospheres in completely different environments over the years.

The annual salary of more than ten taels of silver, the food full of oil and water, the simple and good-looking overalls, the moderate labor intensity, and the abundant activities......

People's mental outlook has changed dramatically, and their eyes are full of confidence and expectation.

Something with the same name as the factory.

But in different production environments, the workers in the factory have undergone earth-shaking changes, and there is a gap between the spirit of ownership and numbness and suicide.

The main source of the railway engineering team is the guard, and the workers also have a layer of identity, which is the remnant of the guard, and retains the military status.

Influenced by the military atmosphere since childhood, coupled with the discipline of the factory, a unique style has been formed.

Zhu Gaochi was very satisfied.

He saw in the spirit of the people a glimmer of what he wanted to achieve.

In the current environment, he can't pursue to that point, but he can get as close as possible, after all, he has his advantages, in the current model, China Heavy Industries has no rivals, and does not need to face fierce competition.

"Whenever I see the orderly operation of the railway, the safe arrival of passengers, and the orderly entry and exit of goods, I can't help but be amazed by the huge transportation machine of the railway."

"I'm also very proud of the work of our railroad workers." Zhu Gaochi said heavily, "Create better living conditions for your family and make personal contributions to the development of Daming industry, this is the spirit of our military industry!" ”

"The greatest spirit of the military industry!"

"Whoa."

Many workers stood up excitedly and applauded vigorously.

Only those who can be literate can be promoted, and the social studies set up all over the country and even in the countryside in the Ming Dynasty have greatly increased the literacy rate.

The literacy rate of the Ming Dynasty exceeds that of the whole world, and it is the one that beats all countries.

The fly in the ointment was that the imperial power was too centralized, and one of the biggest obstacles to industrial development was Zhu Gaochi.

Workers have hope and hope for a better life, which will always be the common nature of human beings and will not change with the times.

When people have hope, they have motivation.

Even if he was a bitter farmer in the first half of his life, he would work hard and struggle for it in a country with a predominantly agricultural society.

And when people have no hope, even in the era of robots, it is also numb.

"Whoa."

More people are standing up, not being able to stretch their excitement, and they hope that the future will be better and better.

What the little prince said was so powerful.

Zhu Gaochi waited for a few breaths, waiting for people's enthusiasm to wave, then raised his hand again, and the workers sat back down.

"If industry is compared to people, then the railway is the blood that maintains its normal operation, and the smooth flow of the railway is a powerful guarantee for social transportation."

"Only when the railway is prosperous, can industry prosper, and when industry prospers, can the country become rich and strong."

"People know everything, they know everything, and the country is rich and strong without humiliation, and it is enough to stand tall in the world."

"Chinese civilization has sunk for nearly a hundred years, and our ancestors sacrificed their heads, shed blood, and sacrificed their lives in exchange for today's peace and tranquility."

"For the sake of this peace and tranquility, it is they who have rejuvenated the Chinese civilization, and we must inherit this spirit of resistance."

"For Daming, but also for myself."

……

Zhu Gaochi stepped down, and thunderous applause rang out in the conference hall, and under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Gaochi returned to the first row of seats.

And then there was Xu Ning.

"The main goals of the third phase of the railway construction plan are: Miyun to Kaiping, Miyun to Daning, 12 sections of railway renovation, and branch railway expansion."

……

"With the increase in railway freight volume, some of the old railways are out of date, and they need to be transformed into stronger railways with wooden sleeper technology."

"In order to accomplish the goal, in the future, the Ministry of Railway Engineering will reach in-depth cooperation with cooperative manufacturers, such as iron works, rail factories, Jinzhou Forest Farms, etc."

……

The simple railway will eventually be changed to a wooden sleeper railway, and Zhu Gaochi is aware of this development trend, but according to local conditions, he still uses the simple railway.

One is to restore the economy to the blood, and the other is to lay the roadbed first, even if it is transformed in the later stage, it is several times more time-saving and labor-saving than starting from scratch.

Therefore, it is the current construction plan to build simple railways first, and then change them to wooden sleeper railways one by one in areas with more commuting.

After the railway start-up meeting, a few days later, there was a high-level meeting of the headquarters, and then there was a meeting of the factory director, a technical exchange meeting of craftsmen, and a meeting of Beiping businessmen......

……

Wang fu.

Xu Zengshou was leaving, his face was full of incredulity before leaving, it was nothing else, he was surprised by the busyness of his nephew.

"I'm busier than you."

Hearing this, Zhu Di was a little proud.

"Let's call the boss, he didn't pay attention to the matter of buying shares last time, how can it be reasonable."

"That's not necessary." Xu Zengshou hurriedly stopped.

This is like something, as if he is plotting against his nephew, he can't afford to lose this person, and explained: "Brother Chi specifically explained to me that this matter will be unified by the Chamber of Commerce, and this matter will be left to the people below to do, and there is no hurry." ”

Zhu Di nodded, didn't say much, and believed that the boss would give him a satisfactory answer.

"Ying Tianfu, you help us maintain more, you also know our situation, it's really hard to make a move."

Xu Zengshou said unceremoniously: "What can it be, they are mainly staring at the King of Qin and King Jin at the moment, and they don't regard it as a top priority for the time being." ”

"That's good." Zhu Di said with a smile.

The reason why Xu Zengshou is valued is that in addition to the relationship between the two since childhood, he also needs this person to help him speak in Yingtianfu.

As for what he meant, Zhu Di also understood.

The eldest brother is gone, and the biggest threat to the imperial power is not himself, but the second and third brothers who are the most threatening to the throne.

Therefore, the political situation in Beiping is more relaxed than that in Shaanxi and Shanxi.

Don't look at the many new chiefs who have begun to seize power, but they are always controlled within a controllable range, unlike the fierce over there.

"The main efforts of the people in the imperial court are in Shaanxi and Shanxi, and the Beiping side is a quiet policy, as long as it does not overstep, there is basically no big problem."

"I'm not afraid of 10,000 in case, my father is older, and his ears are soft, if someone says bad things about us every day by his side, we are far away in Beiping, wouldn't it be a big loss."

"Don't worry, there's me."

"It's because you are in the capital that you can speak for us in the court, and we will have the confidence to do things in Beiping."

Zhu Di patted Xu Zengshou on the shoulder, and Xu Zengshou smiled.

Zhu Di's birthday was not big, but the movement was not big or small, not long after, Xu Zengshou left Beiping, and Zhu Di ordered the three brothers to send each other in person.

Zhu Gaochi led his younger brothers out of the city and sent them dozens of miles, but Xu Zengshou didn't let the three brothers send them again, and said goodbye in a pavilion.

"Big brother, the relationship between my uncle and our family is really good." Zhu Gaoxu said happily.

"Hmm."

Zhu Gaochi replied casually.

Things are never that simple, and profit has always been the key.

The current status of the Xu family must stand in line.

The eldest son of the eldest son threw himself into the prince's family, and he must do this, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to tolerate the Xu family.

But eggs can't be put in one basket.

The fourth daughter of the Xu family.

The eldest daughter is Princess Yan, that is, her mother, the second daughter was named the acting princess the year before last, and the third daughter and the fourth daughter are still young.

Then Xu Zengshou, the third child of the same mother, from a political point of view, it is inevitable to get close to Zhu Di.

And the friendship between the two since childhood is the icing on the cake.

Zhu Gaochi's position is different from Zhu Di's, and Zhu Gaochi hopes to take advantage of Xu Zengshou's opportunity to attract more forces to enter the coal industry association.

The more power, the more stable the development of the coal industry association from other provinces, and no one can stop it, then it is a great benefit to him.

Soon.

The wealthy Coal Industry Chamber of Commerce has built a courtyard on the edge of the Beiping Trade Center as a business hall for the Chamber of Commerce.

President Zhang Dehui, Vice President Gao Changfang, Salt Merchant Jun Song, Hui Merchant Ding Yingyong.

In addition to several large coal farm owners in Beiping, there were also many southern businessmen and shopkeepers sent by the Xu family.

The total share capital is 300,000 taels.

China Heavy Industry contributed 30,000 taels, accounting for 10 percent of the shares, the Xu family also contributed 30,000 taels, also accounting for 10 percent of the shares, and the Jin Wangfu contributed 50,000 taels, accounting for 16 percent of the shares.

The owners of the coal yards in Beiping contributed a total of 100,000 taels, accounting for 34 percent of the shares, and the southern merchants and Hui merchants contributed 90,000 taels, accounting for 30 percent of the shares.

In order to minimize obstacles and let the shadow of the palace be hidden behind the scenes, the presiding affairs of the Chamber of Commerce were handed over to Zhang Dehui.

After negotiating everything, Zhang Dehui took the technicians and stewards of the mine, and hundreds of people went to Shanxi.

The surveyors scattered a lot of them, and the original old mines were bought.

Not a day.

The first steam engine factory in Shanxi also began to be prepared, and the headquarters steam engine factory provided personnel and technical support.

Then there is the Honeycomb Coal Chamber of Commerce, which quietly began its layout in Shanxi.
