Chapter 562 A Bicycle Factory Produces More than 100,000 Mu of Land!
After the Zheng family accepted the recruitment, Zhu Youjian felt that there was a maddening problem that was quite troubling. That is, the efficiency of transportation and information communication was really torturous. Under the current conditions, use the fastest speed to coordinate with Fuzhou
It takes about two months at a time.
Two months, this is simply not a speed that people can accept! But there is no way, no matter how unbearable it is, we can’t bear it. The real conditions are like this. In other provinces, due to the construction of communication towers and supporting communication systems, the speed of communication is still
It's okay, at least it's not like Songjiang and Fujian, where there's often no news for half a month. If you're a little more cautious, your anxiety can drive people to death.
Changing the distance between time and space is a long and distant thing. Until now, Zhu Youjian has not come up with anything epoch-making to change this situation. That is to say, the railway has a slight effect, but in terms of absolute speed, it still has no effect.
It breaks away from the scope of previous eras. Not to mention other means of transportation such as bicycles. Apart from being slightly more convenient, their speed is no faster than riding a horse.
The only thing that can change this uncomfortable situation is the steam train. I hope that the steam engine will mature faster. It is best that trains that can be put on the road will appear in the next few years. In this way,
After coming to unify the country, it will be much easier to govern. Unlike now, Zhu Youjian has a headache when he thinks about the distance between Guangzhou and Fujian. Many plans in these places have to be calculated in years. How many years can he still have in his life?
?
The emperor was dissatisfied with the speed, but most officials in this era didn't think so. They often lamented that the current speed and efficiency were really too fast!
"County magistrate, when you first said that you would organize businessmen in our county to set up a bicycle factory, I actually didn't believe it. I thought it was impossible to build a bicycle factory with only a few thousand taels of silver dollars. I went to the factory today to see the scale of our bicycle factory.
, I really underestimated you. How many cars can our car factory build in a month now?" Dong Liming and his entourage made a special trip to Liu Dazhuang's car factory to inspect! Now this car factory is a star enterprise, and Dong Liming can't wait to run every day.
Come and see the production.
"Right now, we can build about 300 units in a month. Brother Da Zhuang and I have calculated it. Based on the current situation, by the end of the year, the car factory is expected to reach a monthly production capacity of 500 units."
"Three hundred? That's quite enough. If you sell one for thirty taels of silver dollars, you can earn nearly ten thousand taels of silver dollars a month. This is greater than the output of one hundred thousand acres of land."
"The prefect's calculations were a little too ideal. Most of our car factory's parts are imported from the capital. The cost of producing a car is huge. Our Xingcheng car factory only earns a few taels of silver dollars from one car. Throw away the personnel and
The cost of materials is just two to three taels of hard-earned money."
"Two or three taels is not a small number. If you add up a little, you will make a lot of money in a year. With this car factory, our county's tax revenue can be increased by about two thousand taels a year. In addition to collecting some site rent,
This is a considerable amount of income, not counting other income driven by the parking lot. These days, more businessmen from all over Liaodong and from North Korea come to our county."
"As the magistrate said, you can indeed make some money. There is no need to worry about selling bicycles. It is indeed an industry that can drive industry and commerce throughout the county."
"With this depot, our work in the county will be much easier. The day before yesterday, the prefect sent a letter to inquire about the situation of our depot. He was thinking of using our relationship to order a batch of official cars for the officials in the prefecture.
I heard that several yamen in the province also have the idea of ordering cars from our depot. Generally speaking, ordering cars from us is cheaper than those from the Beijing depot. I estimate that only the buses of our yamen across Liaodong and government officials
The orders for private cars are as many as two to three thousand in a year. We don’t have to worry about selling them."
Dong Liming's job is ordinary, but he pays special attention to political achievements. After the car factory was put into operation, in his opinion, the county's tax revenue increased, and the most important thing was to enhance his popularity in Liaodong officialdom.
Now everyone in Liaodong officialdom knows that there is a bicycle factory in Xingcheng, which is the star industry of the entire Liaodong industry. It can be regarded as a head start and a strong sense of existence.
"It can be said that the bicycle factory has laid a good foundation for us. Next year we can follow this idea and focus on large bicycle manufacturing and other industries. With this successful case, it will be convenient to attract foreign investors. Recently
Some businessmen from the capital came to visit me at the Yamen, and I must have used my strength to buy bones for a thousand dollars."
"Okay! Now it's very convenient to take the railway directly from the capital to Xingcheng. The county magistrate is from the capital and is from the supply and marketing cooperative. It's time to put this relationship to use! When I was an official in Zhili,
Thanks to the railway, now we in Xingcheng are not only close to the railway but also not far from the port. We get the best of both worlds. We will work together to create a good situation. This will be of great benefit to your and my career.
.”
When it comes to the benefits of railways, Dong Liming’s eyes shine when he talks about it. If it weren’t for the luck brought by railways, how could he have become the chief official of a county so quickly? This year, the railway from Shanhaiguan to Shenyang and Xingcheng section have already
Once the railway is opened, the Jinzhou section will be better next year. If the speed is faster, you can take the rail car to Shenyang the next year. With this railway, Dong Liming feels that his career can be on the fast track again.
In three years he will be able to become an official at the level of magistrate and prefect.
Official career? Li Yuting's attitude towards this matter is not as serious as Dong Liming's. He is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he is too conspicuous in the officialdom. There is no need to be too anxious about promotion. There is still time to settle. The most important thing for him now is
What is important is to lay a solid foundation, hone it for a few more years, and accumulate enough experience at the grassroots level. It will not be too late to seek progress in a few years.
Besides, his ambition to become a high-ranking official is not that strong. From being a beggar boy on the street to becoming a seventh-grade county magistrate, God has been good enough to him. If his ambition were any greater, it would be a bit too greedy.
After Dong Liming walked around, he returned to the county government office. Li Yuting did not go back. Compared to the county government office, he actually preferred the factory environment. Watching the workers busily assembling parts into a complete vehicle, he
There is a sense of satisfaction. He has put a lot of effort into building this car factory. From financing to facility construction, and even technical matters, he has not been less concerned about it. Fortunately, Liu Dazhuang, a young man, has given his full help, and things have been like this.
Smooth. Speaking of which, I owe a lot to my brother Da Zhuang. After his wedding, he came to Liaodong. I heard that my sisters-in-law in the capital now have their opinions. They wrote to me to complain!
