Chapter 714:The Railway Extending to the North

After a month, Zhang Bin came to Datong Town again, this time, he even did not bring Fu Guangjun, he took 50,000 Guanning iron riding, but this time with him came to the court members are a lot.

For example, the Cabinet University of Bi Mao Kang.

For example, the new Ministry of Industry still plays the King's book.

This time he did not come to negotiate with the chiefs of the Chahar ministries, but mainly to see the construction of the railways in the See, and at the same time he had a larger plan to implement.

The Dacha Railway is the railway from Datong Town to Chahar Prairie, and this Zhang Bin last time proposed it with the leaders of the ministries of Chahar, because the ore is dug out is not a little bit, it is counted by kilograms or even tens of thousands of pounds, if it is transported by human or animal power to the station near Datong, it will take time and effort not to say that the cost will double.

As soon as this cost increased, the profits were reduced, and the correspondingly less money he paid to these chiefs, who, for his own benefit, naturally supported the construction of the railway.

They do not know what the railway and the train are exactly what the principle is, they only know that this thing seems to be cut off as soon as it is dug, no effort is necessary, if the time to turn over with Daming again, directly to the railway to dig up the line, it has no impact on them.

The railway began to prepare for the opening, Zhang Bin came over when the railway was repaired more than a hundred miles, the day after he arrived in Datong Town, he took 50,000 Guanning Railway riding along the railway all the way to the north, about an hour later, they came to the end of the railway.

In fact, it is close to the edge of the Chahar grassland, and more than ten miles later, you can see a plain.

At this time, tens of thousands of Shanxi Tuen Wei is busy, after more than a month of actual operation, they built the railway work obviously has done quite familiar, open the mountain quarry, transport wood, build road foundation, laying the track, each doing their own things, division of labor and cooperation, in an order, the railway is expanding to the north at visible speed.

Zhang Bin looked at it for a while, then waved his hand to the north, knowing that he was stepping on a slightly yellow grass, and he ordered the whole army to stop and camp, while he himself took a group of accompanying officials and hundreds of guards to the highest slope nearby.

He took a group of accompanying officials to the dirt slope, and pulled out the telescope to look north for a while, then asked back: "Lian Fu, you estimate how long it will take to build a railway more than a thousand miles on this grassland?"

Wang Song heard the words and was not stunned: “In the grassland to cultivate, can people in Chahar Ministry agree?”To tell the truth, now I look at this railway hanging, and as soon as the Chahar department turns its face, the railway is repaired in vain."

Zhang Bin confidently said: "You can rest assured that the Chahar Ministry will not turn its face, you just have to repair it, you say how long it takes to repair until the junction between the Chahar Prairie and the Korqin Prairie?"

Wang Song looked at the yellow grassland helplessly, and then estimated: "With this manpower, on this flat land, it should not be a problem to repair him for a hundred miles a month, if it counts by a thousand miles, it is absolutely impossible to complete this year, and it will be absolutely no problem to complete it in early February next year."

Zhang Bin heard the words, thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, it is too slow, must be completed before October this year, if there is not enough manpower, continue to recruit Tuen Wei, even if the north of Zhili and Henan Tuen Wei conscripted."

Wang Song heard the words, not to shake his head sigh: "double, recruit is not a problem, the main thing you are too wasteful to know, now have recruited nearly 50,000 Tuen to defend, this is rations, but also silver, a month is more than 100,000 ah, and doubled, that is more than two hundred thousand ah!If it is just to build the railway in Guanjian, you have invested so much human, material and financial resources outside the gate, and then the Chahar Ministry will turn its face, and the loss will be millions and two!"

Zhang Bin did not care: "This money does not have to go out of the court, it is from the East Shengtang, third brother, you say, you are afraid of this money floating?"

Respectfully accompanied by Zhang San heard the words, not to help but smile: "This silver our East Hall is still affordable, Mr. Wang, if you are afraid of the loss at the end of the year, I can pack this railway down, not the general hall, even if I Shanxi and Shaanxi branch."

Wang Song turned a white eye, did not have a good saying: "What do you say, I am a person who cares about personal gains and losses, I am afraid that this railway will be repaired in vain, you know, this is more than a thousand miles, to Dong Shengtang can invest this money in Liaodong or Guangdong, those places are in urgent need of railway construction, because this year those places will certainly have a lot of food left, even if it can not be shipped out, I don't know how much grain can be built.“The

Zhang Bin saw the look, not to shake his head and smile bitterly: "Well, Liang Fu, you can rest assured that the Liaodong and Guangdong railways will be repaired this year, I am not here to mine coal and iron ore, if there is no iron ore, what do you take to pave the rails, if there is no coal mine, what kind of train do we take?"

At this time, Bi Maukang could not help but interject: "Double whole, why are you so sure that Chahar Ministry will not turn his face?"Now you have stabilized them with money, and once they have earned enough money, they will turn their faces away.”

Yes, why Zhang Bin is so sure that Chahar will not turn his face, even Zhang San thinks that these two brothers will not take the wrong medicine!

Zhang Bin naturally did not take the wrong medicine, he confidently said: "Meng Hou, you know, the last time I led Guanning Iron riding over Chahar, but the Chahar Department was like a big enemy, enough to gather 70,000 or eighty thousand cavalry to come over, this time, you see no, there is no shadow of a cavalry."

Bi Wei Kang glanced at the empty grassland, then shook his head and sighed: "I have said that this is only temporary, these leaders of Chahar Ministry are not idiots, they know that you are in urgent need of coal mines and iron ore mines, will not turn their heads over with them, but also prevent you from doing what?" 」

Zhang Bin smiled and shook his head: "No, no, not for this reason, at least not for this reason, guess what the main reason is?"

This also raised the mystery, and Bi Miaokang said, "I just came here, I can know what the reason is, you say, I will listen to you."

Zhang Bin said with a proud sigh: "I'm afraid you can't imagine, their cavalry and the step-by-steps and pooping and everything have mostly gone to mining, now they are afraid that 10,000 horses can't be gathered, hahahaha."

Bi Gongkang heard the words, suddenly stunned, these guys, just said they are not idiots, such a simple thing they did not expect, to Zhang Bin at this time to launch a raid, this 50,000 Guanning iron riding enough to sweep the Chahar Department, they simply want money to die!

Bi was stunned, and then couldn't help but propose: "Both, why don't you take this opportunity to smooth up the Har Department!"
