Chapter 2599

Regarding the design and planning of the train station, Tao Hongfang was of course just a layman, so he did not question the explanation given by Dai Shao. However, Dai Shao probably wanted to seize this opportunity to show his professionalism in front of the nobles, lest he say

Because he was not clear enough, he asked his assistant to bring him construction drawings and explain the project planning of this area to Tao Hongfang in detail.

However, having the drawings for comparison does help Tao Hongfang understand the details of the railway station project. In terms of construction scale, Hangzhou Railway Station is more than ten times larger than the Victory Fort Railway Station in Sanya, and there are

Enough space has been reserved for renovation and expansion in a few years, which is obviously a long-term consideration.

According to Dai Shao, the designed service life of this train station is at least a hundred years, so the plan must take into account future development needs in terms of traffic capacity, passenger and cargo throughput, vehicle maintenance, etc.

Tao Hongfang couldn't help but asked curiously: "Then when you design the plan, how do you foresee the railway operation conditions decades or even centuries later?"

Dai Shao responded: "After all, the railway has only been around for more than 20 years. It is a new thing that we have never seen before. The villain has little knowledge. At most, he can predict the situation ten or eight years from now and the development in the further future."

Even if you try hard, you can't figure it out. Therefore, many aspects of this design plan were personally designed by Minister Liu. There are many details in it. Minister Liu said that they are of no use now, but they will definitely be used in the future.

The station can be guaranteed to operate for hundreds of years. It’s just that our qualifications are dull and we haven’t fully understood its design intentions yet.”

All the knowledge Dai Shao has about railway engineering comes from Liu Shanxia's teachings, so he naturally regards Liu Shanxia as an omniscient and omnipotent existence. How to ensure that this railway station can be used for hundreds of years without being demolished due to insufficiency?

Reconstruction will naturally rely on Liu Shanxia's foresight to formulate a design plan.

As for those designs that were ahead of the times, Liu Shanxia was considering railway technologies that had not yet been put into use or even started to be developed. Naturally, it was difficult to explain the functions of these designs in detail to Dai Shao and other engineers. He could only order them to construct according to the design plan.

As long as the relevant technology gradually develops and matures, technicians will find that the railway station has already reserved space for upgrading various functions when it was built.

However, as a second-generation traveler, Tao Hongfang could not fully understand the advanced deployment of his fathers, but he had seen it a lot in Hainan Island over the years, and he had long been accustomed to it. After hearing Dai Shao's explanation, he did not ask any more questions. Instead of trying

It is better to get the answer from Dai Shao than to meet Liu Shanxia and ask him face to face in the future, and still get the standard answer.

Tao Hongfang then noticed that the area around the train station on the drawing was also divided into several plots, and these areas did not seem to be construction areas, so he casually asked: "Have the lands in these areas near the train station been acquired by others?"

?”

Dai Shao probably didn't expect that Tao Hongfang would turn the topic in this direction, so he stuttered for a moment: "This... seems so!"

From his tone, Tao Hongfang seemed to have something else going on. He was not a person without any social experience. Of course, he could imagine that the land around the train station would have great room for appreciation, and the Hangzhou-Nanjing Railway project was not an absolute secret. There must be many problems.

Few well-informed people have already known the specific construction area through various channels, and it is reasonable to make profits by acquiring surrounding land in advance.

However, he was still a little curious as to who had such good hands and eyes that the railway station had already acquired land in the surrounding area in advance before the construction of the train station officially started.

Tao Hongfang looked at the drawing carefully again and asked Dai Shao: "I see that there are many plots divided on this drawing. So there must be more than one company acquiring land nearby?"

Dai Shaozhan responded tremblingly: "The villain is not very clear about this..."

Seeing his state, Tao Hongfang felt more and more that he must know something to be so nervous. At that moment, he comforted him: "I'm not interested in these lands, I just want to know who are the people who move so quickly... You

Don’t worry, the source of every word I heard here today will not be revealed to anyone in the future.”

Dai Shao smiled bitterly and said: "I am a lowly person, so I don't dare to talk nonsense. I hope you can forgive me!"

Tao Hongfang said: "I think Dai Gong is also a man of real ability. It's a bit unqualified to stay on this construction site. When I return to Sanya, I will report the situation here to Minister Liu and see if I can give some advice."

Dai Gong arranged for a better position."

Tao Hongfang knew that it was difficult to get Dai Shao to reveal the truth based on his own identity, so he promised him benefits. Although Dai Shao and Liu Shanxia were in a master-disciple relationship, if he could get Tao Hongfang's help, he would probably have promotion opportunities.

It's easier.

Dai Shao knew Tao Hongfang's identity and understood that he did have such influence, and he couldn't help but be very excited. With his qualifications, ability, and relationship with his superiors, he would actually have opportunities after completing the Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway project.

Although he may have to wait for several years to get promoted, there are too many changes during this period, and he is already considered older among officials, so every step he takes is too late.

Dai Shao himself is an honest man who is not very good at cultivating business relationships. Although he has the title of master and disciple with Liu Shanxia, ​​he is only an inconspicuous one among the hundreds of disciples that Liu Shanxia has accepted over the years.

Accumulating qualifications bit by bit on the construction site, the speed of promotion can be said to be extremely slow. Many of his brothers who entered the industry at almost the same time as him have been promoted to official positions in the Ministry of Construction with greater power and easier work. It can be said that

If there is no envy or jealousy at all, it must be a lie.

But if Tao Hongfang's help can help him get promotion opportunities earlier this time, it will mean that his career will have greater room for improvement, and this is the goal he has always dreamed of.

"Do you really mean what you said?" Dai Shao made a decision after a short weighing.

When Tao Hongfang heard that his tone had softened, he knew that his mind-attacking tactics had worked, so he hurriedly struck a chord while the iron was hot: "I always keep my word. If you don't believe me, do you need to establish a written statement?"

How dare Dai Shao make such an excessive request? He quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, it's the villain who made a mistake. It's just today's matter. I hope you will keep it a secret and don't spread it outside. After all, the villain will stay here in Hangzhou for a long time."

Time really can’t afford to offend all the gods.”

Dai Shaodao's explanation of his difficulties actually made Tao Hongfang feel somewhat fond of him. He nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
