The sound of firecrackers was mixed with cheers. The second railway was finally completed before the end of the year.
Next was debugging, trial operation, and adding an extra telephone line. This line went underground and coordinated with the other three lines.
The Yellow River Bridge was still under construction, but the roads for dozens of miles on both sides had been repaired and were being pressed by trolleys.
The steam engine dragged the trolleys, and the bridge could be used before the Yellow River thawed next year.
"No one died, and no one was seriously injured because of the construction."
Li Yi looked at the picture taken by the drone with a smile on his face.
The capacity of the double-track railway was many times higher than that of the single-track railway. The more scientific the operation, the more capacity.
"It's a pity that we can't talk on the phone on the train. We need people to wave flags and lights below."
Li Longji and the important ministers enjoyed the video taken by the drone together. In the future, the people in the Guanzhong area could eat cheap fish.
If the sea fish couldn't be caught, the people in Haizhou would gather from other places to work.
The local feed would be transported to Luoyang and Chang 'an by train. Special chicken and duck farms and pig farms would be built in Haizhou.
"Thirty million!" Bi Gou knew where all this came from. He had used money to smash it.
Millions of people worked at the same time. In some places, the steam engine was used.
The key was that the money earned by the railway was not given to the Ministry of Revenue. It was used to continue the construction of the railway.
"I didn't get a single cent of the technical fee. What did I say?"
Li Yi complained. Steel smelting, rail production, locomotive and carriage construction, railway dispatching procedures, and telephone line technology.
Which one shouldn't make a lot of money? Everything was taken out for free, including the telegraph.
"Put telegraph on the train. Put four on each train. One is used as backup, three are sent and received at the same time, and the three are separated."
Li Yi thought of the telegraph technology and solved the communication problem on the train.
He couldn't exchange for other long-distance communication equipment. Zhuangzi had small robots and walkie-talkies, but the outside world didn't give them to him.
The overall development of the Tang dynasty didn't depend on him to exchange. Otherwise, he could exchange for a better internal combustion engine locomotive.
Exchange was useless. The industrial system of the Tang dynasty couldn't be improved.
The skills that the craftsmen learned and mastered were the most precious. Otherwise, why did outsiders always want to marry the princess of the Tang dynasty? The princess of the Tang dynasty would bring craftsmen as her dowry.
The other people in Tubo were envious of Princess Jincheng's dowry.
"Will it take a lot of time to send and receive? Song Jing was in charge of finding fault with it.
"A special serial number, a dozen or so dispatching orders and feedback. Memorize them and use them when the time comes."
Li Yi proposed a simplified method. First, add a special code for verification, and tell other receiving stations which train this code was for, and that it had nothing to do with them.
Following that, he typed out the code that corresponded to more than ten different situations.
Therefore, the three groups of people had to be separated to receive and receive the money separately. They had to be the same when they gathered the money together to prevent anyone from making a mistake.
In this way, when the railway line increased the number of trains, the train would be placed on the side track within half an hour in advance, waiting for the trains to meet and alternate trains to end.
"Trucks give way to buses?" Su Yi thought of the priority of the two types of vehicles.
"After that, unless there are special circumstances, we will use a mixed train system. The passenger carriages will be hung at the front, and the trucks will be hung at the back.
The commoners came and went, waiting for the train according to the timetable. Some of them were in the passenger carriages, while others were not.
Most of the people coming and going are businessmen. They have to follow the goods, and there are relatively few relatives. "
Li Yi did not want to drive the passenger carriages alone. There were not that many people riding on them.
The ticket prices were high, and what was the point of going back and forth? Wasn't it better to stay at home and work to earn money?
Bi Goo rubbed his hands, "When will it be officially opened?"
"Five days later. Actually … when the southern section of the Grand Canal is completed, the northern section will be built, connecting it to Bohai Bay."
Li Yi suddenly had an idea. In the past, he was unwilling to build the northern section of the Yellow River, which was to Tientsin.
"Brother Yi, there are fewer people there. Building the railway costs money, and it's not worth it to spread it to the commoners. "
Li Longji objected. Unlike this railway, the roadside was full of commoners. A trip between the capital and Henan would be profitable.
"It can be built." Bi Goo voiced his support, "Haizhou rarely freezes in winter, and Bohai Bay above has a longer period of ice.
Bohai Bay can be used to catch fish in winter, and it's just right to transport them by train. It's easy to preserve.
If there is a war in Bohai Bay, the train can be transported there and then transported by sea. It is faster than leaving from Haizhou.
Some of the Khitans and Xi people can migrate there, making it convenient for the imperial court to manage. There are also trains to transport supplies and soldiers. "
"I second the motion!" Zhang Jiuling was the first to agree.
"I second the motion!" The other officials expressed their opinions.
Li Yi was gratified. This is the thinking of a real official of the Tang dynasty. Don't be influenced by me and look for me for everything.
"Yes! Brother Yi, is the road easy to build? "Li Longji thought about it and felt that it was okay.
"There are many plains, especially easy to build." Li Yi nodded. There were many plains in Hebei.
Otherwise, how could the foreigners build the railway so quickly? It was not that the technology was advanced, but the road conditions were good.
On the screen, the people building the railway continued to cheer. They did not have to work this year. After the new year, they will continue to build the railway.
They earn a lot of money and eat well. They do not have to buy food anymore.
Clothes are also distributed, and there are people to take care of their safety when they work.
After two years of work, they will save money and think about doing other things.
While they are resting, they will tidy up their houses. The house will belong to them, and the rent from before will be refunded.
The people were not clear about the imperial court's policies. They only cared about what they had.
At first, they came from outside and rented cheap houses.
Those who had houses in the area were 'relocated', which meant building three stories.
The more than 60,000 people from the Bohai Sea must have houses. They had houses in their original places. You asked them to move here.
Since there were benefits for the locals and those who came from 'abroad', why did the people from the Tang dynasty have to pay rent?
Li Yi simply gave them the house. It belonged to them. The rent from before will be refunded, and they will see what furniture to buy.
Furniture was cheap now. Wood was cheap. A lot of trees were cut down when the road was being built.
They spent some money to buy it and find a craftsman to make it. If they had something, they could make it themselves.
Now, the wood was being dried. It was easier to process it when it was dry.
For those who were not financially well off, such as a woman who brought her daughter here after being bullied by her sister-in-law, they could go to the government office to get a certificate.
With the certificate, they could go to the Workers' Alliance and the Yi Alliance. The Workers' Alliance would be responsible for making furniture for free, and the materials could be subsidized.
The Yi Alliance made clothes for them. They only collected money for the materials and allowed interest-free installments.
The children brought here studied hard as soon as they entered school to get scholarships.
They could get money for studying. If they did not study, they could work to earn money.
Boys and girls from poor families cherished learning, eating, dressing, and writing materials were all taken care of by the Tang dynasty's Chaotian Foundation.
Stop complaining about unfairness. The heavens were blind. The imperial court had given them a chance.
After the celebration, everyone went to find incense and buy it. They did not fight for the temple anymore. They went home to burn incense for the Emperor and Li Dongzhu's longevity tablets.
They would burn incense in the morning and in the evening. They would burn incense in the summer.
