Chapter 731 The Troubles of Happiness
Liu Xin has decided to establish a new Han Empire next year, and the year will be called the New Han Year, which means next year will be the first year of the New Han Dynasty.
This year is the most special year in Sichuan, and it is also a very important year. A large number of chambers of commerce are recruiting workers from all over Sichuan to other states and counties around the world. Liu Xin has lifted all restrictions on factory construction. This year, in southern Yangzhou, Yanzhou, and Liangzhou
A large steel plant is being built in the city, and the Kirin Chamber of Commerce is responsible for its construction.
In addition, more than 30 new cement plants need to be built in each state, mainly for the construction of official roads. The construction of roads in Sichuan is almost completed in the world, and the construction of roads in other regions continues, especially in the northern part of the Central Plains. This year, more than a thousand chambers of commerce have taken over the construction of roads in various states.
For construction work, they must bring some reliable workers from Chuanzhou with them, because they cannot hire all local people at the beginning. These chambers of commerce all have experience in leaving Chuanzhou to build roads.
At the end of last year, the railway was built to Jiangling. The total mileage of the Dahan Railway has exceeded 8,000 miles. Next year, the Dingqiangcheng Railway will be built to Dangar County. By then, the Western Silk Road trade line will bring more economic power to Dahan.
, it will become a matter of course for the Han Dynasty to capture the Da Yueshi.
The Dayue clan originally submitted to the Han Empire. In recent years, Liu Xin has almost won over all the nobles of the Dayue clan. Even if the king of the Dayue clan does not agree to completely belong to the Han Empire, there is nothing he can do. The national power of the Han Dynasty and the strength of the Dayue clan
It's not the same level. As long as the railway is built to Dangar City, the soldiers of Shu County can reach the border of Dayuezhi in five days. It will be too easy to capture Dayuezhi.
Liu Xin has already considered the future railway construction. The Han Empire must first build seven railway trunk lines, three horizontal and four vertical. The three horizontal lines are now the railway from Chengdu to Jiangling, and they will continue to be built eastward all the way to Wuxian County. There are many rivers south of the Yangtze River, and river transportation is convenient.
Let’s not build a railway to Jiangnan now.
The second one is built from the east of Wudu County to Qinzhou, passing through Chang'an, Luoyang, Chenliu, Dongjun, and all the way to Donghai County in Xuzhou. This railway is more than 3,500 miles long and is planned to take nearly fifteen years to complete.
The third railway runs from Dangar County to Dunhuang, and then to the northern part of Bingzhou, Zhongshan Kingdom, and Zhuo County. This railway is more than 4,000 miles long and will take more than ten years to build.
The westernmost one of the four vertical railways has been almost completed, that is, from Panmian City to Buwei County, all the way north to Yuexun County, Shu County, Wudu County, Dingqiang City, and Dangar County. This road is 4,700 miles long.
, now 3,900 miles have been built, and the railway from Buwei County to Panmian City will be completed almost next year. This will also be the first main railway track to be completed among the seven planned trunk lines.
The second one goes all the way north from Yizhou County into Ba County and Hanzhong County. From Hanzhong County, it crosses Qinchuan for 800 miles to Chang'an City in Qin, and then all the way to Banhu. This railway track can connect Sichuan and Yongzhou in the north.
The grassland runs through it, so it is very difficult to build, but if it is built, it will be a road to wealth. More importantly, the grassland will be completely ruled by the Han Empire because of this railway.
The third route from north to south is from the west of Jiaozhou to the north of Jingzhou, passing through Jiangling City and Xiangyang City, all the way north and finally passing through the west of Jizhou to the Xianbei Grassland in the west of Yanzhou.
The last railway track goes from the east of Jiaozhou in the northernmost part of the Central Plains to Yangzhou, passes through several major cities, enters Xuzhou, and then goes north to Qingzhou, passing through Bohai County and Hejian County in Jizhou to Zhuoxian, and then to Yanjing.
County, Liaodong.
To build such seven main railway lines, it will take at least fifteen years of labor force of more than five million people. This is not a pressure on the new Han Dynasty, but also a driving force to improve the economy and people's lives. To build such a huge railway transportation network, in addition to these five
There are millions of workers directly building railways. Among them, the number of people who can participate in bridge repair, cement, steel, timber and other industries will definitely exceed the number of people directly building railways. This means that more than 30% of the labor force in Han Dynasty will be with
Related to building railways.
Entering April, house prices in Shu County have dropped rapidly. A small courtyard three-thirds of the size of Chengdu originally cost more than 30,000 yuan, but now it suddenly dropped to less than 10,000 yuan. This is because many people left Sichuan with caravans and sold their homes.
He raised funds from his house to open a new factory, hoping to make profits in this new round of construction of the Han Empire.
A large number of people are selling their houses, and the news that the Han Dynasty will build its capital in Yanjing in the future has been confirmed, Chengdu will not be the capital of the Han Dynasty in the future, so many people are selling their houses, and the house sales market in Shu County is in mourning.
House prices in Ruixian County have also more than doubled. A large number of people from Ruixian County have gone to Jizhou or Yanzhou. When they heard that the new capital will be in Yanjing in the future, many people who migrated from Yanzhou now want to know their hometown.
, who doesn’t want to see his hometown before he dies, and what’s more, there are great opportunities to return to Jizhou and Yanzhou now.
The first batch of more than 100,000 people who followed Liu Xin to Shu County now have almost all their grandchildren. They were the first batch of beneficiaries of the Yizhou policy. Today, their descendants number more than one million, and most of them are
They are the middle class, or owners of the Chuanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and their departure has a great impact on Shu County.
Every day at Chengdu, Ruixian and other railway stations there are people leaving Sichuan with packages on their backs. They are all dragging their families with them. Fortunately, they don’t need to carry too much finances with them anymore. They only carry some banknotes in their hands and go to the bank to exchange the rest for money.
After arriving in Yanzhou, Jizhou and other places, you can withdraw the money. Although the conditions there are not as good as those in Shu County, most of the goods in Shu County are available there. These caravans have told them.
Liu Xin did not stop these things at all. Housing prices in Chengdu have been rising for twenty consecutive years, and now they have increased by more than 200 times. A threefold price reduction is nothing. If people want to leave, the Yizhou government will provide them with all the convenience.
When you bring your household registration certificate with you, you can settle down where you want to go.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! On April 11th, Liu Xin got married. People in Chengdu can understand this wedding. Liu Xin will ascend to the throne, so it is necessary to add
It is not good to have a few wives and concubines, otherwise the number of people in the harem will be too small.
Sun Shangxiang got married, and Sun Ce came to have a meal at noon and then returned to the Shu County Academy. With the continuous breakthroughs of the military generals in the Academy, everyone now cherishes every moment. In only one year, Liu Xin provides unlimited secrets and unlimited gifts.
Give them guidance, let them understand how to fight in the future, give them a sense of physical limits, and give them the opportunity to understand and break through. After a year, all this will be gone, and they will have no chance to break through again, so now
Everyone cherishes this opportunity very much.
Sun Quan has only been in Shu County Academy for a year, but because of the cabinet selection of officials, Sun Quan performed well in Shu County Academy and was finally appointed as the Prime Minister of Jibei County in Jizhou. Because his sister Sun Shangxiang was getting married soon, he waited until now.
In the bridal chamber at night, Liu Xin saw that Sun Shangxiang was unhappy, so he comforted Sun Shangxiang.
"Now my big man is about to be established, and the more capable people are, the busier they will be. The next twenty years will be the twenty years when my big man will take off rapidly, and the entire land of China will inevitably be in motion.
Your eldest brother and second brother, as my big men, must have their own things to do, and they will definitely come to see you when they forget about it," Liu Xin said.
On the next day, Liu Xin took Sun Shangxiang to salute his mother. Liu Xin's children saluted Sun Shangxiang together. Liu's mother is now sixty-seven years old. Due to excessive physical exertion in her youth, she has some difficulty in moving now. She usually travels in Rui
Many people from the county returned to Chengdu, and Liu Xin's three wives and concubines took turns staying with their mother in Ruixian.
"Husband, my father hopes to see you once." When the meal was almost over, Zhen Mi said to Liu Xin.
"The Zhen family wants to return to Jizhou?" Liu Xin asked.
"Well, my father is also over sixty years old. He misses Wuji County a little bit. Recently, when he sees me, he always talks about things in Wuji County." Zhen Mi said.
"Okay, I haven't chatted with President Zhen for a long time. It's a good thing that the Zhen family is going back to Jizhou. Now the Zhen family's business has spread throughout Sichuan Province, with assets exceeding 4 billion. It is not impossible to set up the headquarters in Wuji County, but
It’s totally meaningless,” Liu Xin said.
"Yes, that's what my two brothers said. Wuji County is now beyond recognition. The Zhen family has all moved to Shu County a long time ago. There may not be a single person they know there. What are you doing back there?
The Zhen family’s business is in Chuanzhou, so it’s okay to establish branches in other states, but if you want to move the entire Zhen family there, the Zhen family’s assets will probably be reduced by half.” Zhen Mi said unhappily.
"So you want me to persuade your father?" Liu Xin asked.
"Yes, my father was saved by Xianggong, and our Zhen family was also supported by Xianggong. My father will definitely listen to Xianggong's words. If he wants to return to Jizhou, my eldest brother will not go back, and many people in the Zhen family will not go back either.
, what will he do alone when there are no children or grandchildren around him?" Zhen Mi said with some worry.
"I understand, I will wait for your father in the study later." Liu Xin said.
Zhen Yi saw Liu Xin in Liu Xin's study. Liu Xin was still as before, like a handsome young man from a noble family, waiting for her with a smile.
"I have met my lord!" Zhen Yi saluted Liu Xin.
"You are Mi'er's father and my father-in-law. You call me Yingchengxing. I heard from Mi'er that you want to go back to Wuji County. You are so old, why don't you let your descendants handle things? It's in Rui County, Chengdu.
How nice it is to enjoy your old age peacefully." Liu Xin said.
"This time when our Han Empire is newly established, there are many new opportunities. Jizhou was once the largest state in our Central Plains, and its future potential is also very great. Our Zhen family has been doing business in Jizhou for hundreds of years, and we know the geography and people there best. Returning to
The Zhen family in Wuji County will definitely become stronger.
And now that the Han Dynasty has just surrendered to the north, there are many places that need development and construction. The Zhen family's arrival in Jizhou can also speed up the development of the entire north. Sichuanzhou has entered a development bottleneck period. If you stay here, you can only watch others continue to surpass you." Zhen Yi.
Said to Liu Xin.
