Bringing System to Great Tang

Chapter 1110: Railways don’t cost much

"Anxi Jiedu was afraid of the emptiness of local troops, so Sulu looked for opportunities to fight, so he took the initiative to send troops to attack instead of defending."

Li Yi pondered for a while and guessed the reason.

In the early days of Kaiyuan, Datang border generals lacked logistical support.

As long as there is sufficient food and grass, the generals are better than the other.

Seeing the autumn harvest, Anxi soldiers finished fighting, Sulu promised to be honest, and Sulu didn't know that Anxi had used all the explosive packs.

After Anxi finished fighting and grabbed things, it happened to be a good harvest when he came back.

"There are many honourable officers to be sealed off." Another reaction of Li Longji to the soldiers after their victory was to spend money.

The honourable officer has a minimum of seven ranks, and he does not have any real power, and he is paid according to his rank.

When there is no salary, the land is divided, and the land that has been smashed or the local land is given a few acres or dozens of acres.

When there is no place to seal, and there are many people with honourable officers, things are in trouble.

"We have money in Datang, so it doesn't matter what we pay. We wait to occupy more land and use land to make money, and fiscal revenue will continue to grow."

Li Yi didn't say that the land he occupied was sealed off. The soldiers would fight in the future and didn't want to farm.

...

Zhengshitang, today the king is not in the early reign, and Song Jing is in a slightly worse state.

"Privately dispatched troops to six consecutive cities, and someday dispatched troops privately to Chang'an." Song Jing was most opposed to the blind beating by the outside generals.

This is the reason why he suppressed Hao Lingquan, but it is a pity that he doesn't use his words now.

"After fighting Sulu, Sulu did not dare to send troops this year, so he could only fight the Turks and the white clothes to make up for the losses."

Su Ting, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, doesn't think so, so he just fights, as long as he wins, everything is easy to say.

"What's the patience to bully people with a dynamite bag? If you fight, you will naturally win." Song Jing complained.

Bi Gou smiled and didn't say a word. He wanted to tell you a dynamite bag for you to fight.

"Xiao Yi said that he wants to build the railway, so I don't want to spend my money too hard. The fiscal revenue of 30 million yuan is actually not much."

Bi Gou worries about the logistics of Anxi Jiedushi. At present, they don't need to give anything, they grabbed it themselves.

It is estimated that there are a large number of sheep and horses. The so-called continuous six cities, the city is a small fortress, the wall made of mounds is not as high as one foot, and the wall is thin.

If an explosive is packed down, a large hole will inevitably appear in a section of the wall.

Switching to the outer wall of Chang'an City, an explosive package was dropped, but there was no response.

The city of Chang'an is three feet and four feet high, from three feet to five feet wide at the top, and from four feet to five feet wide at the bottom.

Count the thinnest thickness, nine meters thick, how can I blow it up with explosives?

Of course, if the wall is thick and useless, whether it should be occupied or occupied by others, the country should be destroyed in the same way.

"If 30 million yuan is used to attack Tubo, can Tubo be wiped out?" Su Ting thought of spending a lot of money on building the railway, but thought it was not worth it.

Spend 10 million to repair the railway, and build that locomotive. It costs money to maintain it. Doesn’t the train go without money?

How many years can you earn back the money spent?

Su Ting didn't know that once Li Yi repaired the track from Chang'an to Luoyang and the train started operating, there was almost no problem of cost recovery.

Except for the maintenance of the existing railroad tracks, the money earned will continue to build and lay railroad tracks.

Li Yi will repair the rails from Luoyang to Haizhou, which is Lianyungang, because it is near.

Once the railroad tracks from Haizhou to Chang'an, the railway soon began to make a lot of money.

Sea transportation directly goes to Haizhou for loading and unloading, and then to Luoyang and Chang'an, two important places in Datang.

On the Grand Canal, there is also a dock for loading and unloading, running down the water, or up and down from below.

Su Ting has no idea how big the profits are. Those profits will continue to be used to pave roads, repair bridges, and increase taxes at the same time.

The profitability of the railway is invisible, but the financial aspect has been supplemented.

...

At noon, Li Jiazhuang ate snake meat, and Li Longji was a family member.

Princess Yongmu was eating the meat from the plate with a happy face.

She doesn't care what she eats, she feels that she said last night to eat braised snake meat, and now it is the happiest thing to eat it.

"Brother Yi, that the 10 million railroad repair money, the court will now take it out?" Li Longji decided not to go to court, and decided to ask something business.

Isn't this the equivalent of going to court? I'm asking about politics and I haven't rested.

Li Yi swallowed the rice in his mouth: "It's early. I have good steel. I also have the skills. I am preparing to build the steam engine ship and the locomotive at the same time. This year is too tired, my dealer."

"It really doesn't work. Set aside the budget for next year. You print more exchange coupons, and then make up for it later."

Li Longji thought of a way of deficit consumption, normal people would have such an idea.

Li Yi smiled: "No, ten million yuan, the rails don't have much money.

Iron ore mining, including transportation, is a labor cost and pays for wages.

Coal mining, coal washing, transportation, or wages, no one wants to make a profit from it.

I will build a few more furnaces, let Yulin Feiqi help, and directly tap the steel and cast iron rails..."

Li Yi estimated that the cost of about one mile was 2,000 yuan.

He couldn't get out the rails either, so he could only cast it. First, he made a mold, poured molten steel into it, and broke the mold after it cooled.

The labor cost of two million yuan per mile, the money has not been thrown away, the labor has made money, and it is necessary to consume it.

If Habayashi Feiqi doesn't need money~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the cost can be even lower.

The cost includes road sleepers made of cement and wood, crushed stones, etc.

It is not easy to cut large logs, soak asphalt, make cement, and burn the crushed ones.

Ten million yuan is enough to repair five thousand miles. That's 10 billion yuan. The purchasing power is scary.

In fact, it is not. It needs to have track division and move the switch.

The trains traveling in the opposite direction split into two railroads on a certain section, and the wrong trains passed by. When the turnouts were moved at both ends, they became monorails again.

You need to calculate the time, or you will bump into it.

As for the two tracks, there are not so many trains, and it is not cost-effective. In the future, economic development needs to add more.

Counting the locomotives and carriages, 10 million yuan is enough to repair from Chang'an to Haizhou, including the railway bridges over several rivers on the road.

After listening to Li Yi's calculations, Li Longji breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the expenses were within an acceptable range.

Ten million yuan looks pretty resistant to flowers, not bad.

He had forgotten the fact that the total financial revenue of Datang in the past few years was several million. Those money and things were enough to sustain Datang's expenses, including the war.

Ten million yuan is only enough to build a road from Chang'an to Haizhou.

"When the repair is completed, I want to eat seafood again, and let the train run a special line, about one hundred twenty thirty miles per hour.

At this rate, it would not take twenty hours to travel from Haizhou to Chang'an.

If the station is set, the train starts, brakes, waits for loading and unloading, restarting, and braking again, the speed will be slow. "

What Li Yi said was the kind of stop-and-stop, stop-to-stop, and so on.

The real speed of the previous car is not slow, as long as it keeps running in the middle, the speed will rise.

Stop once, the inertia is gone, then drive again, slowly increase the speed, drive out for dozens of miles, and then stop.

Every time you stop and start, you need to consume a lot of fuel, and the wear and tear on the car is not small.
