She continued: "If it can be opened up, it will be a great thing for Shengtang Group! First, it can develop the economy along the way, just like the hot spring resort at that time, which drove the development of the entire area! It also drove the development of the entire area!
Yes, it is also an opportunity for Taizhou. If Taizhou is the same as hot spring resorts, then our industry income will be even greater!"
"You are right to think so, but there are a few points that need to be resolved!" Li Min said.
"Ms. sir, please tell me."
"First, what should we do about the base in Jiangzhou? After all, trains can pass through the base. If it is known to others, it will not be a good thing for us."
Ji Ruxue nodded to express her understanding. It was also a big matter, something that needed to be solved urgently!
She didn't interrupt Li Min either.
Instead, let him continue.
"Second, regarding the Taizhou battleship, if more people go to Taizhou from Chang'an, will they get some information about our battleship construction in Taizhou? This is also detrimental to us."
"This..." This is unexpected. The battleship is very powerful, but no one connects its power with its appearance. If more people know about it, it will not be a good thing for the group!
"Third, if the emperor also wants to go to Taizhou, how will he feel when he sees everything that happens there? The train cannot be let go before these three issues are clearly thought through."
Opening up will only complicate things, which is not what everyone wants to see! This is also a hurdle in Li Min's heart. He cannot open up until he thinks of a way!
"Sir, what if we change the route? I remember you said that the train can change its route. As long as we build backup lines before and after the Jiangzhou base, and change the route from there, people will not know it exists!"
This is also a way!
"Ruxue, your idea is very good, I totally agree with it!" Li Min didn't even think of this.
It seems that Ji Ruxue listened to his words, so she came up with this method.
"Then, that section of the railway can be built in the near future! As preparation before opening!"
Li Min said again.
In fact, this is only a short journey and it won’t take too long to complete.
Thanks to Ji Ruxue's thinking, I didn't expect that this woman had good ideas. Maybe Li Min thought too much, so she was restricted to a certain range.
Li Min added: "Secondly, I plan to move the battleship base to Suzhou."
He thought of another direction.
Ji Ruxue was puzzled.
Why Suzhou?
Could it be said that it is very different there?
Not available elsewhere?
"Ms. sir, why is it there? Can you tell me the reason?"
What Li Min said has been verified.
"I have two opinions. The first point is that it is 200 miles closer to Nvtang than from Taizhou to Nvtang. We can get there faster. The second point is that there is no train in Suzhou, and most people won't.
Even if the emperor was afraid, he wouldn't go there. After all, it would take three to five days to get there. He didn't have that much time to go there. Furthermore, from Taizhou to Suzhou
, it can be reached by sea. Relocation is also quick!”
"In this way, it is indeed feasible! My husband is indeed very clever!"
"You gave me some ideas. I couldn't figure it out just now. Now, I have completely figured it out."
"My husband always taught us to study more and remember more," Ji Ruxue said modestly.
Then, she remembered something again.
"By the way, how should we decide on pricing?"
"I thought about it. In the early stage, one person, one vote is the system, and it costs one tael of silver from Chang'an to Taizhou! There will be no stops in between!"
"How many people can sit there?"
"As for the number of people, everything can reach two to three hundred people. If it is comfortable, it can be two hundred people. If the number is large, it can be three hundred or forty carriages! One day goes and one day returns, and the daily income is twelve thousand taels!"
"Can there be so many carriages? Can the train be pulled?"
Speaking of this, Li Min actually thought of it when he was designing the train.
Looking at the future, there will be a Daqin Railway in the future. There is a marvelous 2.6-kilometer long train. It takes more than half an hour to walk from the front to the rear. There are 210 black open carriages filled with nearly 20,000 tons of coal.
.
And I only used 40 carriages, which is actually not too much.
But in Ji Ruxue's view, this is already a lot.
"Don't worry about this. This aspect was thought of when the train was designed. Moreover, it can also be equipped with double locomotives to drive long carriages. In the future, it will even be possible to set up locomotives in the middle. Then there will be enough
The power can move the train."
"That's it! Then what should we do if a merchant is transporting goods?"
"Because the comfort of the goods does not need to be considered, there can be more carriages. One hundred carriages are enough, and each carriage is sold for three hundred taels of silver! Calculated based on space!"
Ji Ruxue seemed to be able to feel what was happening in the future.
She said: "Okay! That's great! Chang'an's specialties can be transported to Taizhou by train for the people of Taizhou to try, and Taizhou's seafood can also reach Chang'an City, so that the people of Chang'an can have more food!"
"What you said is correct, but seafood needs to be preserved with a lot of ice. Otherwise, it will be spoiled after arriving in Chang'an in one day."
"Yes, yes, what my husband said is absolutely true. In this way, the economies of the two places will definitely take off. For Shengtang Group, in addition to receiving more than 10,000 taels of silver every day, it can also drive the development of industries in the two places.
, that is a steady stream of money." Ji Ruxue began to look forward to it.
These are just the things that can be thought of, there are many examples that cannot be thought of.
"Then let's start from now! Who do you think will handle this matter?" Li Min said again.
"Let me handle it!"
"Okay, if you need anything, just contact Yan Lide directly!"
"Isn't he building the Evergreen Railway?"
"Yes, that's right, but he will come back to Chang'an recently. For some technical matters, you can make an appointment with him in advance!"
"I understand! Then I'll deal with it now!" After Ji Ruxue finished speaking, she left the tenement building.
Her temperament is such that if she can finish it on the same day, she won't put it off until the next day.
In Li Min's words, time is money.
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. The base in Taizhou has been moved to Suzhou, and the railway from Chang'an to Taizhou has also been opened.
For a moment, the people in Chang'an City and Taizhou were as happy as during the New Year.
In the Daming Palace, the news was also learned by Empress Changsun, who was heading to Li Shimin's imperial study.
