Chapter 451： Railway starts

Wu Changqing knew that Daqing was learning and imitating his own.

He didn't care too much, after all, he couldn't get in and tell the other party not to learn, it's impossible for others to pay attention to him.

Of course, the most important thing is that Wu Changqing doesn't think it makes much sense for the other party to imitate this little bit.

Now, after Daqing’s learning achievements finally settle down in the north, he will be the cheapest in the end.

The core technologies that can quickly increase national power are firmly covered by them, and all the details are spread out.

The core secrets such as steam engines and breech guns cannot be seen by the outside world.

Dahua has already started laying the railway, but Daqing can't even build a steam engine for pumping water.

The technological gap between the two parties is at least over 50 years.

As long as Dahua doesn't leak the secrets and relies on their own research and pondering, it will take at least fifty years to make a locomotive.

Not to mention fifty years, within two years, the Qing Dynasty will surely perish.

If things go well, it will be possible within this year.

In early April, Dahua held a grand groundbreaking ceremony.

Construction of the Jingsong Line Railway officially started.

In order to show the degree of importance, Wu Changqing personally led some officials to visit the construction site in person. And, personally waved the shovel, dug the first shovel dirt.

This kind of show, although not his first.

But in this era, this kind of show is still very rare.

In the cognition of ordinary people, the emperor is aloof, stretches out his hands for food and opens his mouth, and should not be able to work.

But now, Wu Changqing is using the shovel skillfully in front of everyone.

This gave the people who came to watch them a lot of knowledge. It turned out that the emperor would also work for people.

Wu Changqing dug the first shovel mud, and the other ministers were naturally unwilling to lag behind and followed suit.

Some ministers are more casual, after all, this is just a show.

However, some ministers worked very hard, sweating profusely, covered in mud, and ruined their image.

Although everyone knows that Liu Dahua is also doing a show, it is not easy to be able to show so thoroughly. He deserves to be praised by the citizens of Nanjing.

Among the people who came to watch, there were not only the people, but also the spies of the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and even the spies of the Daxi regime.

Zhang Xianzhong in history has been killed by the Qing army at this moment.

But because of Wu Changqing's arrival, Da Qing could only defend step by step instead of playing Zhang Xianzhong.

As a result, Zhang Xianzhong is still living well in Sichuan.

These spies stayed in Nanjing for a long time to listen to the enemy.

Nanming's spy Ye Chen saw Wu Changqing using a shovel to dig the soil for a show, and he was deeply moved.

Although he knew this was for a show, as an emperor, it was very difficult to be able to show up.

At least, the emperor of the old Zhu family did not have this tradition.

From this point, Ye Chen could see the gap between Daming and Dahua.

The spies of several other forces had similar feelings.

They are all feeling Wu Changqing's diligence, Dahua has such a diligent and wise emperor, why not worry about Dahua.

Wu Changqing and others completed the show amidst the sound of gongs and drums, and then the workers went on stage in person.

In order to speed up the construction of this railway, Dahua spent 30,000 civilians, 40,000 prisoners, and some other staff, totaling 80,000.

For such a large project, farmers from all over the country were required to pay extra taxes to support them.

It is not an easy task to raise an amazing coolie with more than 80,000 appetites.

But now, for Dahua, this big project is just pediatrics.

There are many similar large-scale projects in Dahua.

For example, the full-time coal mining workers in Huainan have exceeded 60,000.

The number of workers working in steel plants has exceeded 20,000.

The number of workers in the textile factory also exceeded 10,000.

The people who farmed a lot became workers.

To a certain extent, the land problem has been alleviated.

Some people who have made money in the factory are already a little ignorant of those lands at this time.

The more than 80,000 people, of course, are not all concentrated here in Nanjing, but are distributed in several areas, and construction is started at the same time.

There are about 10,000 people here in Nanjing.

However, even if there are only 10,000 people, the picture of the simultaneous start of construction is quite shocking.

Standing high and looking down, these people are like ants.

Some people are leveling the road, some are carrying wood, some are pulling horses on the rails, and some are directing and dispatching.

The people outside saw the magnificence of the scene, while the workers on the construction site felt nothing but blessings.

Railway repairing is a very fortunate task, and the labor intensity is very high.

Especially when carrying the heavy rails, every worker was shouting slogans, gritted his teeth and insisted.

This is still a picture of the work with the audience watching it, and the people watching it, those in charge of supervising the work also need to take the image into consideration.

When Wu Changqing and the people onlookers left, the posture of showcasing ended on the construction site, and efficiency was the core goal.

Want to rest when you are tired?

How can there be such a cheap thing that delays the construction period, who can take the responsibility.

As long as there is no time to rest, continue to do it when you are tired.

Although Yanlu, who was in charge of this railway, was building a railway for the first time, he didn't know that many people would die when building a railway.

But he knew that any major project in history would have killed many people.

For example, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, although there is no complete statistics, it is roughly estimated that at least 100,000 people died directly. There are at least one hundred thousand people who die indirectly due to overwork.

For example, the Great Wall, Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, Nanjing City Wall and so on.

Every magnificent project is accompanied by blood and tears.

Ruan Dacheng confessed to Yan's attack that he wanted to keep the casualties below 5,000.

In other words, in the eyes of the big men in the court, as long as the railway can be completed on schedule, it is acceptable to die thousands of people.

Yan Fa was instructed, and he was able to handle things appropriately.

For the 30,000 hired employees, he used more modest methods.

As for the forty thousand prisoners, squeeze as much as you like.

Anyway, no one in this era shouts that the captives want to enjoy human rights, and to have a chance to survive is a gift to these captives.

After seeing the construction of the Dahua Railway, the various spies began to write secret reports and write down what they saw.

After Ye Chen wrote it truthfully, he was hesitant to tear it up and rewrite it.

After all, the real situation is too scary.

It is easy to mobilize more than 80,000 people to start work at the same time, and tens of thousands of kilograms of iron are spread on the ground, which can pull the train of tens of thousands of kilograms of cargo without human horsepower...

Ye Chen was really worried that Zhu Yujian's little heart would be overwhelmed by Dahua's national strength and would be desperate.
