Chapter 446 New Era
With the release of the new issue of "Daqin Daily", the whole of Daqin is boiling again.
"The imperial court has finally agreed to my request and is preparing to build the Daqin Railway Co., Ltd."
"But the [-] million yuan only accounts for [-]% of the shares, isn't it too exaggerated?"
"What are you exaggerating? You didn't read this plan. Are you planning to start building three large railways to reach Jiangnan, Liaodong, and Persia, the three most prosperous areas of commerce?"
"Just a Xianyang-Luoyang railway, the investment is as high as 30 million yuan, and a railway with tens of thousands of miles, [-] million yuan is nothing."
"Once these railways are opened, the freight will become unimpeded, and the profit prospects brought about are absolutely beyond imagination."
"You still dislike the high price here. I saw that once you start to subscribe, you will not be able to grab it if you are a little slower. The supply is definitely in short supply!"
"Just the families of the rich and powerful in Xianyang City can subscribe for more than half of them."
"This group of people was the first to follow His Highness to invest in shares, but all of them are very rich in treasury. It can be seen from the sky-high price of more than [-] yuan for a steam car last time."
"However, the currency unit of Daqin needs to be improved. Otherwise, I can hardly count the long series of numbers."
"That's right, we should promote money tickets more and use a new calculation method."
The businessmen gathered in the teahouse, discussing the railway plan loudly, all of them were extremely excited.
Now the first section of the Daqin Railway has been in trial operation for a period of time, and there are more than ten trains every day. The discerning businessmen around Xianyang City have already personally experienced the feeling of the train.
Everyone who got off the train was full of gratitude and full of expectations for the prospect of trains, especially freight trains.
This is definitely a huge change in the history of Daqin Freight Forwarding.
Especially with the arrival of steam-powered machinery one after another, the advancement of the tunnel project, whose progress has begun to accelerate, has amazed many businessmen, and at the same time, they have longed for it.
This is truly a super project comparable to Yugong Yishan!
What an act against the sky to open a tunnel directly in the mountains.
And the effect is also very significant, directly turning the originally difficult natural danger into a thoroughfare.
Once opened, there will be no barriers between Xianyang City and areas outside Guanzhong.
This is definitely the booster for Daqin Commercial to take off in the next step.
Moreover, it can also bring new business opportunities such as fresh food trade, and the prospect is bright.
Once these three railway plans are actually implemented, taking a train from Xianyang City can directly reach most of the most important states and counties in Daqin.
Thousands of miles away, it used to take several months and a journey of changing countless means of transportation. Once the train passes through the whole line, according to the average speed of 240 miles per hour, it will take less than four days.
And it's not just people, the train is astonishing, comparable to the load capacity of a sea-going ship, allowing goods to arrive inland directly from the port at high speed, and the cycle time is greatly shortened.
Not only has it greatly improved the efficiency of trade and accelerated capital turnover, but it has also made a qualitative leap in the upper limit of a single transaction.
The space it brings is simply incalculable.
This is not a railway, it is simply the road to Jinshan!
Ordinary people are also very happy.
The reason is simple. These three super railway project plans will create more than one million jobs for Daqin again.
According to the court's usual practice, as long as you participate in the court's projects, you can not only get higher wages than farming, but what the people look forward to is free training courses that are held simultaneously with the projects.
As long as you are willing to study hard, you can make great progress in the training class.
There are already many illiterate old men who used to be illiterate. After graduating from the engineering training class, with their own efforts, they have obtained the certificates of junior and intermediate craftsmen in the vocational skills assessment organized by the imperial court, and even senior craftsmen have appeared.
These certificates are not only honors, but also a symbol of ability and financial resources.
As long as you can pass the assessment, you will be robbed by major workshops, and the income is high enough to make people drool.
A junior craftsman can get a salary of more than [-] yuan a day at least, and his total income for a year is enough to buy a good house in Xianyang New City.
Mid-level craftsmen can earn up to five figures a year, which is enough to make most merchants envious.
As for senior craftsmen, they not only have huge income, but also have the official staff of the imperial court, enter the Daqin Academy of Sciences and Engineering Academy to get the opportunity to be promoted again, and gain both fame and fortune.
The facts that happened to me one by one, directly changed the concept of the people of Daqin.
That is reading and literacy, which is the only way to change destiny and improve living standards.
Whether you study literature or martial arts, read more books, and master more knowledge, you can make your starting point a lot higher.
In particular, the steady stream of higher-income jobs brought about by knowledge of science and engineering has made all the people of Daqin more and more interested in the way of craftsmanship.
In the literacy training classes and libraries of various states, counties, and townships, you can see the scene where the old masters studied books and improved themselves.
Although there are quite a few people who sourly claim that it is inferior to lure the people to study, but absolutely most people scoff at this.
Is there anything more important than making your family's life better?
The common people were in a daze before, it was because they couldn't see the hope of getting ahead.
Now that there is such a good opportunity, if you still refuse to work hard, then it is purely your own problem.
The people of Daqin have never lacked the spirit of enduring hardships and standing hard work, what they lack is just a chance to make them stand out.
A system of military merit titles allowed Great Qin to rise from the barbarians of the six kingdoms of the Central Plains, and finally swept Liuhe, establishing the first unified empire in history.
Today's compulsory education and literacy training have opened the eyes of all the people in Daqin to see bright roads to the future.
While working hard, the people's gratitude to Da Qin Chaotang, Ying Yu and Ying Zheng is truly from the heart.
They all knew very well that His Royal Highness Ying Yu's heart was truly for the people of Daqin and for the benefit of the people of Daqin.
And their support for Ying Yu cannot be shaken by anyone.
The positive response to Ying Yu's call was beyond the imagination of the rest of the people.
In all bookstores and libraries, the books and materials about railway wagons and steam engines were all borrowed in an instant.
Numerous students are studying science and engineering knowledge assiduously, hoping to invest in the vigorous construction of the railway, contribute their own abilities to the Great Qin Tengfei, and make their lives better.
