In this way, Qinzhuang and the Ministry of Works have added a long-term business.

After everything is ready, Jingcheng and Jingzhao Prefecture will choose a place to build a station. Once this station is completed, the benefits will be extraordinary.

Conservatively estimated that the development and completion of the railway will benefit hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.

Although the businessman spent money, he had a stable profit from getting the right to charge for twenty or thirty years.

A large number of people have poured into the capital in the past two years. According to statistics from the Ministry of Revenue, there are three to four million people.

There are also hundreds of thousands of people in Jingzhao Prefecture. In addition to attracting people, they can also transport goods. It is easy to earn 50,000 or 60,000 taels a year.

I will make a return in a few years. Although there are still many people who need to maintain and build roads, I calculated that I can make a return in five to eight years, and the rest will be pure profits.

After the contract expires, if the court is unwilling to operate, then continue to auction the operation rights, and you can make another profit at that time.

If you want to take back the state-owned enterprise, there is no problem."

When everyone heard this, they were all applauding, "Isn't this the same thing as the buildings developed by the chambers of commerce in Beijing?"

"It's almost the same, but railway projects involve more aspects than building development.

But one thing is that the fare pricing power must be determined by the court. It cannot be too expensive or too cheap. It depends on the distance.

It is too expensive and cannot afford it for the people. If it is too cheap, it will be slow to make a profit. You should pay attention to this point. You can discuss the pricing power together, but you must not leave it to them!

Secondly, every station must be equipped with a railway patrol station.

There are also several permanent bad people on the steam locomotive.”

Everyone is digesting what Qin Mo said. If you look at it this way, the imperial court will not only not have to lose money when building a railway, but will also make a big profit.

While making money, it can also allow the people to make a fortune, increase their control over the local area, and win three goals at one go.

After the contract expires, the railway will be taken back, and the court will get a complete railway for nothing and make a profit.

"This is a good idea!" Li Shilong stroked his beard and said, "I read the new journal that the steam locomotive will be tested in the past two days, so let's go and have a look together!"

Qin Mo did not refuse. At this moment, he had actually been waiting for several years.

Although he only provided ideas and unclear drawings, the efforts made by the research team are worthy of recognition.

He met Qin two days ago. The boy was younger than him and had a lot of white hair, which shows the hardships.

My uncle must support me.

"By the way, the railway from Beijing to Jingzhao Prefecture must be built by the court, and a model is made for those people to see.

Otherwise, the predetermined effect may not be achieved."

Qin Mo added another sentence, "The future railway will be a major financial revenue of the imperial court. You may make money in the early stage, but you may lose money in the later stage.

Because the longer the railway, maintenance will cost money, and it is impossible for every route to make money.

So we can find ways to graft the losses in the early stage. When we have a mature system, we won’t have to be so anxious.”

The cost is grafted by merchants, and slaves and prisoners of war reduce costs. It is not considered a long-distance railway, but only a few cities with a large population in the Beijing Circle will not lose money.

Using the money earned to build long-distance railways should be able to offset this loss.

It can be said that Qin Mo dug a big hole for the court, and after they entered the hole, they would not go out again.

Under the prospect of this large domestic demand, Daqian will be in a state of rapid development in the next few decades.

Railway economy and direct roads, plus navigation, will bring big karma to a point that no one can imagine.

That is Qin Mo's dream of heaven in his heart.
