It's true that I can't wait. As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the shipment to Bianliang was on track.
Zhao Xi really wants to buy a few batches of goods and make them pay completely...
Regardless of whether the track is standardized or not, in the short term, there won't be much trouble if the transportation fails to reach a certain load.
Once winter is over and the number of goods transported increases, everything from track infrastructure to management will become a mess.
If at that time, a batch of irrelevant goods was prepared, a high fee was paid, and multiple compensation was required for no-shows... it would be a slap in the face just thinking about it.
In doing so, it seems that I am a bit too cowardly...
Rail transportation is a new thing. With the lead train of the Xiangzhou-Bianliang Line, it has entered into a lively situation at the beginning of other rail traffic.
Although it is only a part of the business, merchants have accepted this mode of transportation, and whether it is freight or passenger transportation, it has a good start.
However, Zhao Xi is really worried that they will damage the reputation of Orbital...
Every winter, according to the regulations formulated by Zhao Xi, the track will be maintained and maintained.
At this time, Li Jie will inspect the entire track.
This year, in order to avoid harming Chiyu, Zhao Xi had to make a personal inspection.
Don't be surprised, Zhao Xi knows very well how the people and businessmen think. For one corrupt official, the people will hate the entire official group.
Similarly, once there is an accident on these newly launched tracks, and if there is a little trouble on our side with our cooperation, the entire rail transportation will have a bad impact on the country, and even ruin the life of the track in the country.
.
The flow of information at this time was not smooth, but for the orbital customers... merchants, the speed of communication in specific circles was not slow.
Therefore, Zhao Xi had to do this for a show.
In fact, at this point, his familiarity with the orbit is not as good as that of Li Jie. The reason for doing this is just to give everyone a warning and let them be more vigilant.
"Your Highness, our track is different from theirs. In addition to the rammed earth layer, our track foundation also has a cement layer, and it strictly follows the regulations, with intervals of three feet per foot and seepage trenches per foot."
"On this basis, we started to lay stones of the same size as a buffer layer."
"Their track... only sees stones and sleeper tracks, and the real core doesn't understand it at all."
Zhao Xi didn't quite understand it, but he had seen it before, that is, in another life, and heard people talking nonsense.
Even if it is just random knowledge, it is the most proficient in the current situation.
The key is that during the specific laying process, there was Li Jie, an expert in construction...
Don't underestimate this era, the degree of ideological liberation is really comparable to that of later generations.
Just mention it casually and they will expand your ideas and complete them.
For example, the snack business in childhood, now the sweets at Neiyuan Food Factory have become so abundant that even Zhao Xi was stunned.
For example, woolen yarn, although it has not yet appeared as a woolen sweater, Zhao Xi was a little surprised by the industries that were extended based on woolen yarn.
Medical books say that the human body has the function of self-repair and reshaping. In fact, society also has the function of self-improvement.
What Zhao Xi did was a guide.
"Ming Zhong, don't take it lightly. Accidents on the tracks are inevitable. But we must avoid accidents on those tracks at the same time."
"This is not a trivial matter. It is likely to affect the country's recognition of the track, leading to the depression of the entire industry..."
This is not a simple industry, but involves many upstream and downstream industries.
After a widespread snowfall, Zhao Xi returned to Bianliang.
Snow does not affect the operation of the track, which is incomparable to Bianhe River transportation.
In the early years, every winter, the price of grain in Bianliang would rise to varying degrees. It was normal. After all, water transportation was stopped, and millions of subjects relied on reserves to feed themselves. The price increase was justified.
But now, the price of food in Bianliang is still around 20 cents...
Grain merchants are still those grain merchants, and their profits should not be reduced much...Due to the track, shipping rates on the Bianhe River had to be reduced, and at the same time, the contract was fulfilled, and compensation was also paid.
Countering the problem is sometimes more effective than directly intervening.
Water transportation, which Zhao Xi once wanted to directly manage, now has to follow Zhao Xi's transportation rules.
"Your Highness, the goods sent to Jingzhaofu, Hedong Road, and Hebei Road are difficult to pass on the national highway due to snowfall. Can those tracks be temporarily used?"
Xue Xiang didn't understand rails. He thought that Gongfang City did not use rail transportation because these rails bypassed Gongfang City.
But seeing the goods piled up in the warehouse due to the snowfall, he had to make a bold suggestion.
The workshops have not stopped, and the transportation of goods from the south to the north has not stopped, but the daily shipment volume of Workshop City has dropped significantly due to snowfall...
In the early years, when encountering this kind of weather, most of the work was stopped, but now that there are tracks, there is no need to do so.
"Your Highness, what Zizheng said is absolutely true. Delivery is the urgent need of Gongfang City. Although there are omissions in the connection of the tracks of all parties, the tracks can be used for transportation in different sections."
Lu Gongzhu also said so.
It's just that Su Song and Li Jie feel a little constipated...
They wanted to say it, but they didn't know whether they should say it or not. They knew clearly that His Highness didn't have any grudges and was not trying to trick anyone.
If you want to say where the goods in Guochao are the largest, it is only in Workshop City.
Once Gongfang City uses these tracks, it will inevitably increase their load, and at the same time, it will also drive some merchants... those merchants who have great trust in His Highness the Prince's business to follow suit.
That's not giving them money, it's cheating them.
"Do you think we should use the orbit?"
"Your Highness, we are all ministers of the country, and they are all transported by rails. We should not treat them differently. The capacity to accommodate people is the foundation of an emperor."
Well, this has all risen to the level of an emperor.
Okay! It’s accurate, isn’t it?
"Uncle Ji, the reason why you don't use those tracks is not because you have any grudges, but because you don't want to cause trouble to them."
"Since you have this intention, let's just do this. Sign the contract and follow the rules..."
This is really not intentional...
Su Song and Li Jie twitched their faces, but still didn't speak.
I can't say that what Mr. Lu said is a bit harsh, but it makes sense.
Look at His Highness the Crown Prince's triumphant expression again...
Anyway, the sooner the problem is exposed, the sooner we can take over.
To be honest, the originally good transportation mode and method were messed up by various forces and turned into a mess.
As the two people who knew the orbit most clearly, they really couldn't see past it.
Let’s not talk about the track laying technology, but let’s talk about the track line...basically how to make it convenient for your own home, and how to save costs.
It simply did not reflect the role of the track in the imperial court.
The guard camp has a track plan of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Once it is formed, it will play a significant role in the administration of the imperial court and border defense.
What is it now? It's criss-crossed, yes, but the most obvious thing is disorganized.
