Chapter 1319: Building a Railway

The steam engine production line in the R&D center is operating at full capacity and can only produce up to five steam engines per day.

"The number of craftsmen is still not enough."

After seeing the latest report on the steam engine production line, Bai Feng wanted to go to Yizhou to recruit a group of craftsmen.

After thinking about it again and again, Bai Feng still did not go to Yizhou to recruit craftsmen again.

It would be a breach of trust for these students if the graduates from Hanzhong School were chosen to be admitted easily.

Furthermore, the R&D center will definitely continue to expand in the future, and there are still many things waiting for Bai Feng to manufacture in the system.

It's just that Bai Feng has limited energy now and is limited by manpower and material resources, so he can't produce more at the same time.

Then Bai Feng put the craftsman's problem aside for the first time.

Preparations for building a railway are about to begin.

The steel output of the mine is sufficient, and the most important things left are silver and craftsmen.

"We have to go to Yizhou to recruit craftsmen to build the railway."

Bai Feng finally found out that he had to go to Yizhou to recruit a group of craftsmen no matter what.

Because Bai Feng planned to build railways in various cities in Hanzhong at the same time.

This can greatly shorten the construction time of the railway, but requires more craftsmen.

Hanzhong can recruit a group of craftsmen, and the rest have to go to Yizhou to recruit.

Fortunately, the treatment offered by Bai Feng was good enough, and the risk of building railways was much lower than that of mining.

So Bai Feng is not worried about not being able to recruit enough craftsmen in a short time this time.

It's just that winter is coming soon. Although the weather in Hanzhong is acceptable, there is not much time left to build the railway.

After careful consideration, Bai Feng finally decided to start building the railway now.

Even if the railway construction will be smoother later, Bai Feng will not have to worry about silver and weather problems.

The main thing is that Bai Feng must give Yamatai enough self-protection capabilities before the Wei Dynasty attacks Yamatai, and at the same time ensure the normal development of Yamatai's shipbuilding industry.

Sometimes it's like this. When a person becomes more stressed, all kinds of things will happen one after another.

Bai Feng then began to recruit craftsmen, and then prepared all the raw materials needed to build the railway.

Bai Feng had already prepared a batch of raw materials such as wood, steel, and sand for railway construction, but the quantity was still not enough to support the construction of the entire Hanzhong railway.

The construction of railways is a major event for the entire Hanzhong.

So Cao Jie, Diao Chan, Cai Wenji and Liuli also asked Bai Feng how they could help.

Bai Feng was naturally not polite when he heard this, as he happened to be alone and unable to do anything.

“The things that need to be implemented now are mainly the following aspects.”

After dinner that day, Bai Feng arranged tasks for Cao Jie and the others in the garden.

"First of all, it's a matter of craftsmen. Someone still needs to go to Yizhou."

"Sir, I'm going to Yizhou!"

Before Bai Feng finished speaking, Zhang Qiying stood up and said to Bai Feng.

During this time, she has been busy building new soap workshops and shops in Yizhou with Cao Jie.

When she heard that she was going to Yizhou to recruit craftsmen, Zhang Qiying immediately volunteered.

"Okay, then Qiying, you will be responsible for recruiting craftsmen to build the railway in Yizhou. We need more than a thousand people, preferably 1,500 people."

Bai Feng then said to Zhang Qiying, Zhang Qiying kept Bai Feng's explanation in her heart.

After talking about the craftsmen, Bai Feng began to arrange the procurement of raw materials.

"As for the wood, sand and other materials needed to build the railway, leave it to Diao Chan and Cai Wenji, both of you!"

"The purchased quantity will be handed over to the two of you after I sort it out."

Then Bai Feng said to Cai Wenji and Diao Chan.

Cai Wenji and Diao Chan smiled and nodded in agreement. Their lives are so fulfilling every day now, and they like it very much.

Even if you feel tired sometimes, new soap workshops are being built from scratch, and soap shops are being renovated in Yizhou.

The previous hard work and exhaustion were all worth it for Diao Chan and Cai Wenji.

Especially the kind of eyes that are respected by others, and this respect comes more from other people's recognition of their own abilities, makes Diao Chan and Cai Wenji even more happy.

After explaining the matter of craftsmen and raw materials, the most tedious work was gone.

Finally, Bai Feng asked Cao Jie to coordinate all aspects of the relationship.

For example, the supply of steel in the mines, the management of the railway construction craftsmen, food and accommodation, the collection and storage of various raw materials, etc.

Only Cao Jie can do these things.

Others either have insufficient status or insufficient abilities.

"Jie'er, you just came back from Yizhou, and I'm going to make you suffer again."

"After the railway is built, we will take the train around Hanzhong and have a good rest!"

Bai Feng looked at Cao Jie and said with some distress.

Cao Jie also saw the distress and apology in Bai Feng's eyes, so she smiled softly at Bai Feng:

"I am very happy to be able to help my husband take care of his worries."

"Ever since I heard my husband mention the train, Jie'er has thought about one day being able to ride a train with her husband and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world."

"Now that Jie'er can work hard towards this goal with her husband, it couldn't be better!"

Cao Jie said to Bai Feng, stars shining in his eyes.

"Yeah!"

Bai Feng nodded heavily upon hearing this.

There are many people and things in this world that Bai Feng cherishes, and Cao Jie ranks first.

After arranging everything, the entire Hanzhong entered the stage of large-scale construction again.

In order to reduce the amount of work, the railway route chosen by Bai Feng is not far from the main roads of various cities in Hanzhong.

Now Bai Feng does not have the ability to build roads when encountering mountains and bridges when encountering water, so he can only plan the construction route of the railway in this way.

After Zhang Qiying went to Yizhou to recruit craftsmen, Bai Feng also began to recruit craftsmen for railway construction in Hanzhong.

Everything went as planned.

It took Bai Feng less than a week to recruit more than 2,500 craftsmen in Hanzhong.

At the same time as the craftsmen were in place, various raw materials for railway construction began to be distributed to various cities.

The people in the city also knew that Hanzhong Hou was going to build a railway, and their relatives also had craftsmen who built the railway.

Now everyone is looking forward to experiencing the feeling of riding a steam train in person after the railway is built.

Bai Feng, Cao Jie, Diao Chan and others also started to get busy.
