Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1472: The railway company that beat the blood

In order to make political achievements and gain the attention of the Son of Heaven, Chen Lifu still proposed this plan even though he knew that the railway construction subsidy and reward plan he proposed might have certain political risks.

In order to be able to build the Guangdong-Jiangxi Railway during his term of office, it is best to build the Yue-Xiang Railway along the way, as long as these two major railway arteries exist.

Then it will lay the most solid foundation for Guangdong's economic take-off!

But Chen Lifu didn't know that he thought that the plan he proposed had huge political risks. If he made a wrong move, he might have a reputation for being politically immature. It was almost a fatal blow, at least, don't expect to go further.

Although it caused a huge disturbance in the court, when this plan was reported to the Holy Son of Heaven, Li Xuan, it did not make the Holy Son of Heaven dissatisfied as expected by outsiders.

On the contrary, when the ministers in the imperial study room saw the Son of Heaven's approval on this matter, they all looked puzzled and even surprised.

They don't understand why the Son of Heaven, who has always been cautious and even conservative in many matters, is so radical in this matter.

The Son of Heaven's reply is relatively long, and he wrote hundreds of words in a splendid manner. The core point is that although this idea has many problems, the starting point is still good, and it has certain feasibility. Is this method feasible? Is there any way? What's the problem? You can try it first. How can you know if it's good or bad if you don't try it, so I asked Yushufang to come up with a detailed charter and conduct a pilot program on the Guangdong-Jiangxi Railway.

As for the detailed regulations, it is natural to introduce a detailed plan.

Because the plan proposed by Chen Lifu before is just a general plan. This kind of general plan seems to be a lot of loopholes in the eyes of people with a heart. Now, the job of the imperial study is to plug these loopholes.

Avoid magnification, corruption, etc.

For this reason, although the ministers of the Imperial Study Room did not understand the Son of Heaven, since the Son of Heaven personally set the tone for this matter, their job can only be to check and fill in the gaps as much as possible.

After being presided over by the ministers of the Imperial Study Room, many departments related to this matter also participated, such as the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Finance and other institutions.

Finally, the final detailed plan was determined. First of all, this plan is only a trial plan, limited to the construction project of the Guangdong-Jiangxi Railway. The first page of the plan contains a clear warning that, except for the Guangdong-Jiangxi Railway project, other similar financial Subsidy and reward programs shall not be launched without the approval of Jinling, and violators will be severely punished.

This is to avoid the rapid expansion of this kind of thing, and many ministers need to control the impact of this matter, so as to avoid the subsequent large-scale corruption that may occur.

Secondly, in order to enhance the supervision, and also to allow the cabinet to control the matter at any time, it is stipulated that the Guangdong locality shall not have direct contact with the Railway Corporation.

The Ministry of Communications will do the work on its behalf, and then directly contact and supervise the Railway Corporation.

Of course, the money needed for interest subsidies and construction bonuses still requires the financial expenditure of Guangdong, and Jinling will not spend such a large amount of money.

In addition, in order to prevent the Railway Corporation from cutting corners to shorten the construction period and then defrauding construction bonuses, the construction supervision of the railway and the subsequent completion acceptance will be carried out independently and simultaneously by the three institutions.

They are the Construction Supervision Office under the Ministry of Industry and the construction supervisors dispatched by Guangdong.

In addition, there is an independent body responsible for the final acceptance of completion, that is, experts in the Department of Transport at the Royal Institute of Technology.

Among the three institutions, the first two are responsible for independent construction supervision, and at the same time, they are also responsible for the completion and acceptance of the latter.

Scholars from the Department of Transportation of the Royal Institute of Technology are only responsible for the final inspection and acceptance. Only when these three institutions review and release the project at the same time can the Railway Corporation receive the construction bonus.

At the same time, the Railway Corporation will merge several other subsidiaries on the basis of Guangdong Railway Company, and then establish a new large-scale subsidiary, the Southern Railway Company, which is mainly responsible for the construction and operation of railways in the southern provinces.

This model of large-scale subsidiaries is actually the same as Zhili Railway Company, which is responsible for the construction and operation of the Jiangnan Railway; The Northern Railway Company is about the same.

The subsidiary will jointly loan the special funds for road construction of the Guangdong-Jiangxi Railway to the Royal Bank, Imperial Development Bank and Guangdong Zhujiang Bank (Guangdong local government bank), and the special funds will be used only for the construction of the Guangdong-Jiangxi Railway. Guangdong's local finance provides a guarantee and pays 60 percent of the interest in advance.

In addition, a construction incentive plan has been formulated. As long as the Southern Railway Company completely defines the road section within a limited time, it can obtain the construction incentive for the road section. An additional bonus is paid for each day completed ahead of schedule.

The interest subsidy and the basic bonus add up to 4.3 million yuan. If the railway company can complete the entire line ahead of schedule and open to traffic, this number will continue to rise, and it is not impossible to reach more than 5 million yuan by then. .

People from the Railway Corporation saw the total amount of the bonus, and their eyes were about to pop out.

In recent years, the Railway Corporation has owed a lot of debt to repair the railway. Although it is said that with the operation of the Jiangnan Railway and the Jingkai Line, the revenue is also a lot, but for the huge debt, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

Not to mention this era, even if it is the railway construction of later generations, it is a typical heavy capital investment. It is a very long investment behavior in this period. In order to use commercial capital to build the railway, Li Xuan created a state-owned enterprise controlled by the Ministry of Finance. When the Railway Corporation came out, although its senior officials were all officials, the operation of the company was purely commercial.

Well, this commercial company naturally pays attention to costs and profits.

Well now, the railway has not been built yet, but it seems that the maximum subsidy and bonus of more than five million can be obtained. After calculating this, although the construction of the Guangdong-Jiangxi Railway is difficult and the cost is high, if it is evenly divided, Construction costs are also not unacceptable.

What's more, if the Guangdong-Jiangxi Railway is opened to traffic, it will be connected to the Jiangnan Railway at Jiujiang Hukou Station, then it will be equivalent to opening up the railway links between the most important economic towns in the empire.

Once Hangzhou, Shanghai, Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Jinling, Dangtu, Jiujiang, Nanchang, Ganzhou, Guangzhou and other cities along the way can be linked, the huge economic influence exerted is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Not to mention, in addition to connecting with the Jiangnan Railway, this Guangdong-Jiangxi Railway can also connect to Changsha through the future South Long Line and Wuchang through the Nanwu Line.

It is even possible to pass the Yangtze River ferry and then connect to the Jingkai Line and the Hankai Line.

Such a huge railway network can be completely spread out, and the economic impact brought by it will be huge.

The Railway Corporation will also obtain huge operating income from the operation of these railway networks.

If it weren't for the huge profits in the future, the Railway Corporation would not have agreed so happily.

After the contract was signed, the speed of the railway company was beyond everyone's imagination. The contract was just signed, and the notes had not been done yet. Will officially break the map to start.

As for the survey routes in the early stage, I'm sorry, they started doing it a few years ago, the roadmaps are all ready-made, and the machinery and equipment are directly dispatched from the nearby northern Jiangxi area, and the technical backbone is also the first time from the For nationwide deployment, as for ordinary construction workers, it is easier to recruit them directly.

In other words, Datang's railway construction plan has also brought huge employment opportunities to local farmers in many places. Although it is said that building the railway is very hard, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can earn a job.

Besides, Datang Railway Corporation is not an ordinary black-hearted enterprise. Although it is a commercial company, it still has a strong official character. Therefore, the treatment of this worker is not very good, but it is not too bad. It is considered ordinary. Level it.

At the same time, if the workers have done a good job and want to continue working, the railway company will not directly fire the workers after finishing the local project, but will take them to other construction sites to continue working.

From this point of view, the construction of railways by railway companies across the country has provided a lot of help to the employment of the empire, especially the employment of idle labor in rural areas.

Compared with other countries, the construction of railways in Datang has a huge advantage, that is, there are many people in Datang, and the labor cost is not too high.

Recruiting workers is fairly easy.

When Chen Lifu sent to Gyeonggi to go to Gyeonggi to take charge of related affairs, the Guangdong governor and the other party returned to Guangdong, and the railway company in Jiangxi had officially started construction.

Not only in Jiangxi, in order to meet the construction period and get construction incentives, the Southern Railway Company under the Railway Corporation, that is, the railway company specifically responsible for the construction and operation of the Guangdong-Jiangxi Railway, adopted the method of building multiple sections at the same time.

Relying on the Xiangjiang River, they transported a lot of equipment and railway tracks directly to Ganzhou, and then started work directly there.

The Guangdong side is no exception. On the basis of the original railway network in Guangdong, they began to suspend the railway from Huizhou to the north!

In this way ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In fact, the entire Guangdong-Jiangxi Railway has three starting points for large-scale construction, and the starting points for these three places are mostly follow-up projects such as laying rails.

As for the pre-construction in front of the railway, especially some ordinary civil engineering that does not require much mechanical equipment and can be completed by manpower alone, it is all carried out at the same time.

The Southern Railway Company has set up construction teams in every county along the railway line, and the construction is carried out at the same time. The earlier the completion, the more bonus for one day.

In order to earn construction bonuses, the Southern Railway Company is also fighting hard enough.

As for Chen Lifu, seeing the Southern Railway Company as if it had been beaten by chicken blood, on the one hand, he is relieved, but on the other hand, he is also a little worried. If the railway is built too fast, I am afraid there will be a lot of bonuses. !
