Chapter 1806 Thick Smoke Awaits Departure

"Come to Datang with the System New ()" to find the latest chapters!

Placed farther south in the Southwest, rows of railroad tracks have already been laid.

Two steam locomotives were placed on the tracks, and there were more empty carriages.

Usually there is a wall around this place to block other people's viewing. The carriage and front end are manufactured in the west of Lijiazhuangzi and assembled here.

Today the wall was demolished, and many people stood on the wall to watch the locomotive.

The common people had known about the trains for a long time. They wrote introduction words in newspapers and brought pictures.

The railway was constantly being repaired, using countless people.

Looking at the heavy railway tracks, the people also talked about how many iron pots and kitchen knives were used to build a road.

People from Gyeonggi Province, Gannai Province, Shannan East Province, Shannan West Province, Huainan Province, Hebei Province, Henan Province, and Jiangnan East Province all participated in road construction.

Especially in Jiangnan East Road, Li Yishi's Fujian Province, the local area was poor. I heard that building railways would make money, so the laborers brought their household registration and government-issued certificates and set off without taking any dry food.

The work at home is left to the parents, wife, and children, and the brothers go out together to bring dry food, fearing that the family will starve.

They ate free food at the inns along the way, worked in various places, and were paid by the day.

Temporary workers are allowed. Due to their short participation time, temporary workers are not given relatively high-tech jobs and receive low wages.

For example, if a novice is not good at lifting rails, someone will die if he cannot keep up with the rhythm.

The buckles that connect the rails to each other are even more technical tasks.

Just the food that the people building the railways eat has boosted the local economy along the line.

It's impossible to eat pork every day, there aren't that many pigs.

It’s okay to eat chicken, duck, and fish, and the supply of indica rice is open.

The common people were not lazy in their work, as long as they were paid and food was not deducted, they worked except for sleeping.

If the construction period is shorter than expected, additional bonuses will be given based on the proportion of working days. If you work for only one day, you may be given 1% more, or even no bonus.

For those who work from beginning to end, the bonus will be the same as the salary.

Skilled workers pay more. If you want to be a skilled worker, you need to be able to read and do simple calculations.

"It's so fast! What a great nation." Li Yi expressed his admiration and pride.

The only tools available are wheelbarrows, carriages, iron frames, wooden frames, hand hoists, crowbars, earth baskets, shovels, pickaxes, etc.

Without any advanced tools, the people used these things to build a railway from Haizhou to Chang'an in less than a year.

He and others stood on the platform, a concrete platform.

"Money! Thirty million! What a penny!" Bi Gou was not surprised. All the money he finally earned last year was thrown in at once.

Five years ago, the entire Tang Dynasty's entire four-year income was enough to build the current railway.

"All the expenses are labor costs. Digging iron ore, digging coal, smelting, laying rails, and repairing carriages are contributed by the locomotive Li Jiazhuangzi. You didn't give me the material money, labor costs, and technical fees for the locomotive."

Li Yi made it clear that the people would get the 30 million yuan, and the people would spend the money after taking it.

The quality of life of the people has improved, and fiscal money has once again circulated in society.

Unless you throw the exchange coupon into the water, burn it, or tear it apart for fun.

Otherwise, the exchange coupons will always be there, and the old ones will be replaced with new ones.

Every time there is a circulation, there is a profit in it. When it is collected and transferred to the place where the circulation is concentrated, it will slowly become fiscal revenue again.

"Then inflation." Song Jing followed.

Li Yi didn't even turn his head, pretending he didn't hear anything, so go ahead and cause trouble. I gave you the book, but you really don't want to read it?

Li Longji put his hands behind his back and waited for auspicious times. There were big red flowers and colorful ribbons on the locomotive.

In addition, the people from Qin Tian Jian wanted to connect this matter with the celestial phenomena, so that people would think that it was really the case.

“As long as productivity increases, there is no currency depreciation.

Like the railway, it saves a lot of time and sends some fresh things to Chang'an along the way.

Taking into account the food and fodder consumed on the road, as well as the more time spent on work, the currency can still appreciate after development. "

Li Longji reads, at least he doesn't pretend not to understand.

"Xiao Yi! How much tax do you think is appropriate?" Bi Gou felt distressed for thirty million dollars and wanted to get back to his roots.

"Now that the railway has invested 30 million yuan, how can we pay taxes? If we pay taxes, when will we get our money back?" Li Yi said in terms of investment costs.

"How to calculate the railway's profit?" Bi Gou changed his perspective.

"The railway has to deduct maintenance costs. The railway is a new department, and only profits can be given to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

After this railway is repaired, we must raise funds to build the next railway. Didn’t we agree at the beginning?

They didn't even take out loans to build the railway, which is good, otherwise they would still have to pay interest. "

Li Yi said something that caused Bi Gou's blood pressure to rise.

Then he smiled and said: "There is tax, and the tax will be deducted from the freight. In addition to visiting relatives or students going out for a walk, people basically bring things to sell, such as bringing a basket of eggs to other places, or in Henan Prefecture in winter. There are many greenhouses and fresh cucumbers are sent to Chang'an.

As long as the profit after deducting the ticket price is higher than the profit from selling it locally, people will be willing. There is still a time cost to be deducted.

We allow the people to make a profit, and the tickets also make a profit, and the gross profit is taxed 10%. "

Li Yi is not joking, he really should pay taxes.

Bi Gou didn't care about the passenger tax. He stroked his beard and said: "The bulk of it is the merchant's goods. Winter is good, but the Yellow River cannot travel in winter."

Bi Gou's blood pressure dropped and he looked forward to the arrival of the dry season of the Yellow River.

Merchants can only take the railway, and they will lose their lives if they go by land.

It takes twenty days and costs five strings of cash to transport a load of goods by land, provided that it does not snow. If it snows, it may take many days.

If it is put on the train, the freight is five strings of cash and it arrives in one day, or it arrives in two days by waiting and stopping at each station.

Merchants will definitely choose train transportation. In summer, the time for ships to sail and the cost of hiring trackers are better, so railways are better.

Bi Gou cares about winter. In summer, there is water transport, and it is always a waste if water conservancy is not used.

If trackers do not pull the ropes, they have to find other jobs. What should the boatmen of cargo ships and passenger ships do?

While talking, the steam locomotive began to be debugged and burned first. The washed good coal still emitted billowing smoke.

The coal and water car behind the locomotive was hung up, and the hook used was the Zhan hook.

Without Li Yi, this hook alone would not have appeared in a short time.

His steam locomotive bypassed all the detours. Like him, it should not have existed in the Tang Dynasty. UU Reading www. uukanshu.net

"Don't crowd. You can watch it later when you have time. Watch it as you like. Be careful of trampling. Why are you rushing to the front? Come back."

The sixteen guards responsible for the security of the people stopped and pulled. They were told in advance that if someone fell to the ground and was trampled to death, the sixteen guards in that area would be punished.

"The auspicious time has arrived~~~~" The people from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory pinched their watches and shouted at the most appropriate time.

Then they started to talk about what happened to the stars last night, combined it with the current situation, and connected it with His Majesty, and mentioned Li Dongzhu by the way.

After the people from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory finished speaking, Li Longji and others cut the ribbon in court clothes, and Li Yi temporarily served as a first-rank official for one day.

Today is not called the Zhaotao Envoy. Today, we will change to a new name, called the Tang Dynasty's Domestic and Overseas Transport Supervisor. Anyway, it's just one day, so just give it a random name.
