Six hundred and fortieth chapters Beijing-Liaoning Railway
In Jinzhou City, southern Liaoning where Chu Yun made his fortune, it was already a prosperous scene. Jinzhou City was the first city to start industrialization and has not stopped for seven years. At the end of the year, heavy snow was flying, and a train squirting rolling black smoke rushed from the direction of Liaodong City.
Huge and cold wheels crushed the iron cabinet covered by snowflakes, and the locomotive pushed away the snow, so that the snow splashed on both sides of the train.
The carriage swayed slightly, and the fire inside also swayed with the carriage, forming a sharp contrast with the ice and snow outside the carriage.
Chu Yun, the supreme ruler of the Jiuzhou Army, could see a vast white snow outside through the rough glass windows of the train.
"This time it's snowing heavily, and I'm afraid that many horses and livestock will be frozen to death on the prairie. All ministries and departments remember to send special envoys to the prairie to count the losses of the herdsmen and allocate silver in time to provide disaster relief."
Chu Yun turned around and looked at the civil officials in the carriage. General: "The Mongolian tribes fought with the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and now they are finally one family. We must consolidate their relationship. The relationship between different ethnic groups, like the relationship between husband and wife, requires management and honesty."
"What the military leader said is that in recent years, the north is colder and colder every year. I have experienced this year and prepared to prevent the cold before the beginning of winter. Thanks to our inner and outer passes, the grasslands are peaceful, so we can mobilize enough manpower and financial resources to prevent the cold. If we continue to fight like ten years ago, we will probably die every winter, thousands of people will die." A civil servant asked.
"Well, every winter, the tribes in the north will inevitably go south, because they lack the ability to fight against natural disasters and are even more fragile than our farming civilization. Without livestock and food, they will starve to death if they don't go south to grab food. This is also a very helpless thing." Chu Yun said.
This time, he personally led a group of subordinates to take a steam locomotive from the capital to Liaodong City, and then took the branch railway of Liaodong City to Jinzhou City, inspecting the rise of the Jiuzhou Army. Of course, the main purpose was to personally experience the railway from the capital to Liaodong.
As early as a few years ago, in order to strengthen the control of the grassland, Chu Yun had already started to build the grassland railway. However, the Jiuzhou Army called on many strong men and tribal herders, and the railway expert Zhan Tianyou took the lead in building. The grassland railway has not been completed yet. Because the grassland is too vast, and the Jiuzhou Army has continuously included the northern and western Mohe into its own territory, the grassland railway has become more and more complex.
So the grassland railway continued to be built slowly, hoping to one day go to Western Siberia and even Moscow. Chu Yun accelerated the construction of the railway between the capital and Liaodong City, and took the lead in connecting the internal and external railways with railways. Because Liaodong and southern Liaoning had already been building a railway network before Chu Yun entered the pass, as long as a railway was built from the capital to connect the railway network of the western Liaoning Corridor, you could reach Liaodong City all the way, and then to Jianzhou or Jinzhou.
After the speed of the train entered Jinzhoucheng Railway Station, the speed gradually decreased, and the steam whistle sounded loudly, prompting the train to enter the station.
As early as Jinzhoucheng Railway Station, the big family in Jinzhoucheng who learned about the news that the leader of the Jiuzhou Army Chu Yun returned to Jinzhoucheng to inspect the news, and the people gathered here.
"I met the military leader here six years ago. At that time, he passed by me less than three feet away. At that time, I saw a few strong men protecting him, and thought he was the prince of a big family, but I didn't expect that he was the military leader."
"It's good to brag about passing by the military leader? When the military leader lived in Jinzhou City, our house was just off the street from the military leader's mansion. You can often see the military leader bringing a group of officials in and out. It was so crowded at that time. Unfortunately, after the military leader led his troops into the pass, he lived in the capital."
"I still miss the period when the military leader was in our Jinzhou City, which made the city that we should have been abandoned so prosperous. Now that the military leader is focused on the inside of the pass, it is inevitable that he will ignore it outside of the pass."
The crowd gathered in Jinzhou City Railway Station was talking, which made the soldiers who maintained order around him nervous. If someone had a bad intention and assassinated the senior executives of the Jiuzhou Army who were about to get off the train, they would have cried without tears. Now, it is the time when the Jiuzhou Army is most prosperous. If something happens to the highest level, the huge empire is likely to fall into a dilemma of being divided.
When Chu Yun took people off the train, a warm shout immediately burst out from the crowd, full of fanaticism. If it weren't for the patrol soldiers who maintained order around him who stopped everyone, the crowded train station would be unable to move forward.
Among the crowd, there was a group of people who seemed different. Although their Chinese was proficient, they had some accents, and they were not local to southern Liaoning, but like the accents from the Goryeo people opposite the Yalu River.
"The Lord of China is really glorious. They have a vast territory of millions of miles and a railway of thousands of miles. There are many factories in a few years. There is also the Anshan mine, which can mine tens of tons of ore every year to smel iron ore." A beautiful scholar who looked in his early twenties could not help but envy him when he saw Chu Yun being favored by the people and China was becoming more and more prosperous. "It would be great if our Goryeo Kingdom could have half of the industry as the Sect Master."
"Your Highness, in recent years, many Chinese merchants have also gone to our country to invest in Goryeo. After hearing letters from their subordinates, they have set up logging farms, mining farms, and spinning mills. In some areas in the south, new fishing farms have begun to be built, especially the southeast Busan Port. Because it is between the Chinese and Japan waterways, merchant ships from Jiangsu and Zhejiang can go through the Busan Port from the Strait in the north of Kyushu Island to Edo Bay through the Seto Inland Sea." said another person with a Korean accent.
Their group was Li Yan, the prince of the Goryeo King, and the Goryeo nobles who came to the Liaonan Academy of Sciences to study together. They were in a crowded atmosphere and felt the fanaticism of the people in southern Liaoning.
"Jin Qingzheng, we have been here for many years, have broad vision and have seen many magical things that I cannot see in China. Whenever I think about my homeland being backward and poor, I feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, we, Goryeo, still claim to be a little Chinese, and now I dare not even say small words." said Li Yan, the prince of the Goryeo King.
"What does Your Highness the Prince's meaning?" asked a accompanying student and minister known as Jin Qingzheng.
