Although the railcar is only thirty miles away, it is stable at a constant speed and will not delay time, which is faster than the speed of carriage transportation.

Especially in transporting seafood, there are great advantages. The horse-drawn carriage convoys responsible for the original transportation may be retained, most of which will be transferred or disbanded.

The development of caravans has now become saturated, especially the caravans in Youzhou have overcapacity, and many merchants cannot afford to support more people and have to lay off employees.

Unemployed people can only change their careers. At present, Youzhou has very much need for personnel except caravans, especially construction workers.

It is still easy for people from the disbanded caravan to find a job.

Li De formulated a plan to implement the railroad car, and the people in the city guards immediately implemented it. In this winter, the appearance of the railroad car attracted a lot of attention.

All those who went to Bancheng Inn will stop using horse-drawn carriages and switched to railcars. The railcars that officially carried passengers have been installed with glass. In order to keep warm, a heating pipe extending into the carriage was installed on the steam stove.

The heating pipe can prevent the journey from being cold. The car is full of simple horizontal wooden benches. One car can accommodate twenty people, and two carriages can accommodate forty people in total.

The goods carried are not allowed to exceed one person's size, and it is free to take a railroad car during the trial operation.

So I could see many people queuing up. During the trial operation of the railway train, there were one-way trains every day, so if you want to take the railway train to Bancheng Inn, you can only get the next day.

People who arrive at Bancheng Inn can only stay in Bancheng Inn for one day, otherwise they will have to hire a carriage to carry them back from Bancheng Inn, and they will have to pay for a carriage to ride.

It is easier to return than taking a carriage, and it is not expensive to spend a night in the inn. Moreover, the "hot spring restaurant" run by Bancheng Inn in winter is very popular.

This makes the inn business popular in winter. Many people ride rail cars to taste the freshness, but this does not affect their usual consumption.

Every day, people wait at the starting station of the railway train, but unfortunately there are too many people taking the train, so they can only make an appointment in advance to enjoy the free service.

Li De has been paying attention to the railway car project these days, and the popularity of the operation has increased the number of times a day twice a day in the previous few days to six times a day. When it goes down, the operation will be stopped and the railway car will be maintained.

The number of trains increased to transport more than 200 people to Bancheng Inn every day, which directly led to the hot spring restaurant's business being full, and customers had to make an appointment in advance.

When merchants saw that some of the hot spring museums were engaged in, they decided to invest and expand their business area.

Artificial hot springs are about building more hot water pools and piled up with stones, so as to shape the environment and provide high-quality services.

Some merchants even fell in love with the railroad car and wanted to pay for it and directly purchase it. They wanted to provide a private railroad line.

When they learned the construction price, they stopped. Even if the wealthy people did not reach the level of wealth in the Li family, they were not really rich.

"Grandmaster, the 10 million chunk of railway track construction funds are ready. Will it be allocated directly to the blacksmith's workshop?"

"The amount is a bit large. I will allocate funds separately. I will sign a one-million-ken ticket for them first, and then make the next fund after the construction period is completed."

The order amount of the Blacksmith Workshop this time is very large, and the people in the city guards have to be more cautious. Even if you pay the Blacksmith Workshop in one go, you can't just spend the money directly, so you should pay it slowly.

This money can't be spent in just a few years.

"The next construction is mainly road construction. It is necessary to ensure that all main roads within Youzhou's strength must meet the Youzhou standards within three years. The north and south areas must be carried out at the same time. From now on, resources must be mobilized to complete the task as soon as possible."

Li De had to focus on construction. Now merchants put all construction projects on construction houses. At present, there are too many empty houses in Youzhou, and it is already in a state of surplus.

Even if you have no need to build a house in the next two or three years according to the development speed of Youzhou, hundreds of thousands of people will have a place to live.

Except for the houses in Youzhou that were previously distributed according to registration, people who came back would not divide the property and land if they wanted to settle in Youzhou, and everything would have to be purchased for money.

Merchants all liked these things, and became more and more crazy after selling some real estate and making money. The land leased by the Chengshoufu was in compliance with the procedures and could not control what the merchants did.

However, compared to building a house, Li De needed to build a road first. Although it could not stop the merchants from doing construction, they could only place an order for them directly, giving them benefits to start building roads.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is no external activity in winter, we must start the matter after spring plowing.

The work of the Chamber of Commerce is the busiest. After Li De finished talking about the matter, Weili would start to convene a meeting of merchants.

In the office building of the Chamber of Commerce, the conference hall was already full of relevant businessmen.

"Have you heard that the Grand Governor is going to build a road project this time. I don't know who will win the bid this time."

It is hard for businessmen to hide their envy when chatting.

As long as you are responsible for a section of the road construction project, it will be a considerable income, which is more money than building a house. Moreover, building a house is mainly about selling it, and if it cannot be sold, it is cost.

Building a road is a one-time transaction, and it is enough to repair it.

"It's a small amount of project, but at present, several large engineering teams in Youzhou are in the fishing city. If you draw people back, it will take some time, not to mention it, but also delay the construction of the fishing city."

If you cannot complete the building, you cannot sell it. Stop building halfway means you can't get anything. Many businessmen engaged in this business are also feeling guilty.

Now we need to see if the specific situation is in their interests. If it really doesn’t work, they can’t really give up the fishing city. There are a lot of investments there.

The guards hurried to the podium in the conference room and said straight to the point: "The Youzhou City Guardian Road Construction Project covers all the main sections within Youzhou's strength. The number of bidders is not limited. There are detailed contents on the documents. Now I'll send it to you. If you want to participate in the previous process, please fill in the bid documents for three days before sending them back here."

This is not the first time Wei Li presided over such a meeting. There is no too much gossip. Communicating with businessmen is just to directly show the interests.

Hundreds of businessmen and service personnel distributed thick materials to everyone's hands. The documents were made by printing movable type, and hundreds of documents were all the same content.

Moreover, there is a hot paint on the file bag, which is not free. The merchants involved in the project need to pay fifty cents of materials for each time.
