The first thousand six hundred and thirty-six chapters reached the black line
If possible, the emperor would never be willing to share half of the interests of the railway to Jiang Xingchen. In the future, the interests in the railway network will be immeasurable. But no one can build a railway except Xingchen, let alone the raw materials of manganese steel.
, it is a difficult problem that can’t be overcome in various steel rolling machines. What’s more, there is the construction technology of the locomotive.
The emperor felt very unbalanced. This railway line was nominally built for the empire, but from the perspective of usage rate, your Xingchen Leadership and the steel factory accounted for a higher proportion in the future. So he felt that he was at a disadvantage. Half of the benefits were divided,
The usage rate is still high, and the empire will not be a sucker. Besides, Jiang Xingchen is not short of money, and one treasure can produce 150 million stones.
So he doesn't want to spend so much money on the railway behind. If Jiang Xingchen wants to take up half of the profit, he will also have to spend the same amount of money.
But before his conditions were raised, Jiang Xingchen first said that he was not productive enough and could not build it, so he blocked him back in one go. He couldn't mention the feeling of holding his breath in his heart.
Of course, Jiang Xingchen also had his own ideas. First of all, the materials are not enough. The manganese ore of Xuanyuan Tianzong is not big. I use it all for the construction of the Imperial Railway Network. The large railway connecting the ice field can no longer be repaired.
This time I got a lot of wealth from the treasure, but Xingchenling has many projects. The construction of a metropolis is a bottomless pit. The shipyard needs to be re-expanded, the plan for the steel ship has been put on the agenda, and the railway to the grassland is also
It costs a lot. The scientific research department needs to increase investment. The research on formations alone requires a lot of budgets. He is also preparing to expand universities, education investment, research and production of scientific research equipment, etc. Finally, there is a big railway.
All of these are counted, and the wealth he gains may not be enough.
Another key point is the cost of building a railway. It seems that the empire has invested a lot of money, but the Xingchen also spent a lot of money. In advance surveys and roadbed construction, they were all led by Xingchen, let alone more than 100,000 craftsmen.
The annual transportation costs, people eat horses and chew. He cooperated with the Daqin and the Dali Kingdom, and the labor was produced by the two major kingdoms.
The installation of the telegram line is also a big deal. In this way, the cost of Xingchen Leader on this railway is not much less than that of the Qiankun Empire. Not to mention that Xingchen Leader is technology that you can't buy even if you have money. Therefore, the railway is
He was relieved to half of the benefits!
The emperor took a deep breath, suppressed his dissatisfaction and said lightly: "How long will the newly built steel plant be put into use as soon as possible?"
"Emperor, I know that the empire is at its peak of development and the demand for railways is relatively large! But Xingchenling also has many difficulties now. Even if the steel mill of the three leaders on the east side is built, I can only build two railways at most!"
Jiang Xingchen replied.
The emperor frowned and said, "The faster the railway is built, the more developed the transportation is, the more convenient it is for the Stars. It is not only beneficial to the empire that the resources you obtain overseas. If there is no convenient transportation, you can only
Used for the Cursed Land!”
This sentence is said peacefully, but it implies a cleverness. Jiang Xingchen, you have thought that building a railway is a good thing. If you don’t build it, it will be too late to build it in the future. Once I don’t cooperate, you
It will take several times or even dozens of times the time and energy to transport overseas resources to the Star Recipe.
Jiang Xingchen smiled and replied, "I know this, but my plan is to build another railway first. Lead the railway from Xingchen to the ice field."
"What?" The emperor was shocked by Jiang Xingchen's words. The boy had a problem with his mind. From Xingchen to the ice field, there were more than tens of thousands of miles. Not only did the Eight Kingdoms and Xuanyuan Tianzong pass through, but there were also thousands of miles of mountains.
However, the emperor was very calm. He was slightly surprised and returned to normal. At the same time, he also thought about the importance of the ice field to the Xingchen Gate. Although Jiang Xingchen had never leaked combustible ice, think tanks from various countries all came up with it through analysis.
The conclusion of the energy needed by the star.
Steam engines require combustion energy, but Xingchencheng has so many steam engines and power generation equipment, and the amount of charcoal I usually buy is far from reaching the needs of use. Therefore, the conclusion of ice-formed energy is not difficult to analyze.
The emperor thought of this and then laughed. No matter where the Xingchen Leader built the railway, he had to pass through the empire's land, so there was something to talk about.
But before he could figure out how to talk, Jiang Xingchen said again: "I think the empire should be responsible for the two railways built for the empire, labor-related matters!"
"Yeah!" The emperor was so angry that he almost slapped the table. Can he still have some face? The railway track empire spends money, and the laborer is also responsible for the empire. In the end, you will still have to take half of the profits. You will treat me as a sucker.
Bastard, you're too bullying.
This time the emperor really couldn't hold back his anger.
Jiang Xingchen smiled and said, "I wonder if the emperor has discovered communication equipment along the railway?"
As soon as this sentence was said, the emperor's anger disappeared invisible. He only knew about the telegram yesterday. When he heard that the message could be transmitted in an instant even if it was thousands of miles apart, he didn't believe it at all. Isn't this nonsense?
But after the staff demonstrated on the spot, the storm broke out in his heart, which was simply a miracle. Now when he thought about the exercise led by Xingchen, he finally knew why Mo Hongxian could command the artillery behind him dozens of miles away
.This is used on the battlefield, and it is a clairvoyance and a wind-like ear.
After the staff explained, the emperor understood that the railway also needed telegrams to dispatch to increase the efficiency of railway use and ensure safety.
Yesterday he didn't sleep well all night, thinking about how to get this technology from Jiang Xingchen. The telegram was not much less attractive to him than the Black Dragon.
In today's negotiations, in addition to the subsequent establishment of railway lines, the most important thing is telegraph. Originally, the emperor thought that the construction of railways would be the same as this one in the future. He could just suffer some losses and exchange the telegraph technology.
But who would have thought that Jiang Xingchen would disrupt his plan when he came up. Now that he proposed it, the empire would pay more labor costs.
Jiang Xingchen stopped talking, his purpose was already lit up, and the construction of the railway to the ice field was also labor issues. The telegram must follow the railway line, and there will be many people operating in the future. It will be difficult to block the technology, after all
This thing is not complicated. It is better to be used for profit. For example, the land occupation of railways leading to the ice field, such as labor issues.
The emperor had almost nodded and agreed. The construction of a railway could occupy a place. Labor was not a big deal for an empire with a population of 200 million. It was solved by handing it to the major lords.
Both sides took the needs, and finally everyone was happy and reached an agreement!
The train roared all the way, from the imperial capital to the Blue Seal Collar, then entered the territory of the Grand Duke of Zhengxing, and finally arrived at Hongyuan City. Countless people along the way watched the guardrails on both sides of the railway, and exclaimed when the train passed by. Because of this
It was the first train. The station along the way did not stop and went directly to Hongyuan City. The whole journey took only ten hours.
The steam locomotive's speed exceeds 100 kilometers per hour shows that the thermal efficiency utilization is already very high. The university researchers make an indelible contribution, and Jiang Xingchen is very happy.
The patriarchs of those big families were still dizzy after getting off the car. From dawn to dark, they arrived at Hongyuan City, which was more than ten times faster than a carriage. It took seven or eight days to travel to Hongyuan City.
If the weather is not good, it will snow heavily, it will not be able to arrive in ten days or half a month.
When the emperor got off the train, many people welcomed him on the platform. Several commanders of the army, including the Grand Duke of Wang Shuangyang, Grand Duke of Zhengxing, Grand Duke of Lan Yin, the Lord of Hongyuan City, and the Hou of Nanjiang who came from all over the country.
Jiang Xingchen was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect that there were so many people here, and were they all here to congratulate the opening of the first railway?
He thought so at first, but soon realized something was wrong. If he had congratulations, why didn’t he go to the imperial capital and run here? Also, everyone’s eyes were always staring at him.
Under the guidance of the Lord of Hongyuan City, the senior officials who came with him followed. Jiang Xingchen also followed him with suspicion.
"Jiang Xingchen, when will you go back?" The second prince's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which scared him.
"I said why are you shocked!" Jiang Xingchen turned his head and said angrily: "Let's go tonight!"
"Tonight, that's fine! I'll go on the road with you!" the second prince said with a smile.
"Get out, you're just on the way," Jiang Xingchen cursed in a low voice, and then asked, "What are you doing with me when you go back? Don't you have to accompany the emperor?"
"I haven't been to Xingchen for a long time. I've been resting for two days. Let's talk about our business!" said the second prince.
"It's been a long time!" Jiang Xingchen's mouth twitched. Did he still take the slaughter at Xingchen last month?
He shook his head helplessly, and Jiang Xingchen continued to walk forward. The second prince couldn't stop him even if he wanted to go, as long as he was not afraid of the emperor's fault.
After walking two steps, Jiang Xingchen heard someone greeting behind him. When he turned his head, he saw the Marshal, the Old Marquis, Feng Xuanzhang, Huang Shi and Qingyun and others coming over.
"Boy, when will you go back? Don't forget to tell us, let's go together! I haven't been to Xingchen for a long time. I'll go to your place to rest for two days!" said the old marquis.
Jiang Xingchen was stunned. Why do these old guys talk to the second prince? Aren’t you all accompanying the emperor? They all ran to me to collect the matter.
He was thinking about it, and another group of people came over, Wu Tianfeng, Chen Xuangan, Wei Ning, Dingbei Hou, Nanjiang Hou and his son He Yunxuan.
"Brother, when will we go back to Xingchen Leader? Let's go together. I haven't come to you for several years to catch you!" Wu Tianfeng came closer with a smile and patted Jiang Xingchen on the shoulder.
"This is the other sentence. Are they here to congratulate the railway on opening up? Damn!" As he said, he suddenly swears, and suddenly realizes it, and his head is covered in black! (To be continued.)
