Valley Emperor

Datang Railway Corporation built the Northwest Railway and the Central Asia Railway. Without the central financial subsidies and the military's freight subsidies, they would not be able to sustain it long ago.

That is to say, the Datang Railway Corporation is an enterprise controlled by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises. Knowing that the Northwest Railway and the Central Asia Railway are political tasks, they have to be repaired if they lose money.

Fortunately, it has completely occupied Central Asia and has officially established a province.

In addition, the Central Asia is not bad, the number of immigrants will definitely increase gradually, and the mining and animal husbandry will be developed at that time. At the same time, it will also be able to directly connect to the Mughal Dynasty and the Safi Dynasty through the land, and also connect to the Ottoman Dynasty through the Caspian Sea.

This also means that the land transportation between the Datang Empire and the above-mentioned countries is also open, which will definitely bring about an increase in import and export trade.

At that time, the demand for railway transportation will definitely come up.

In this way, the railway company finally saw the hope of recovering the cost.

As for profit, they don't expect it for the time being, as long as they don't lose money, or even lose too much, they are already very satisfied.

As for making money from railways, we have to rely on the prosperous areas in the east.

The railways of the empire have been operating for more than ten years, and people and even enterprises are already very familiar with railways. Whether it is for freight transportation or travel, taking trains is very common.

In this case, the traffic volume is increasing day by day.

Taking the busiest Jiangnan Railway as an example, the single-track railways in the early years have been gradually expanded into double-track railways. At the same time, the speed of the trains has also increased several times in a row, and the horsepower of the locomotive is also increasing. However, even so, it is difficult to meet the increasing traffic volume.

Almost all railway sections of the Jiangnan Railway operate at full capacity. In order to reduce the load, the railway company develops more advanced railway and train technologies to increase the transportation volume of the existing railway, and also builds more branch lines. railway.

Around the main ring-shaped main line of the Jiangnan Railway, many branch railways have been built.

No way, this place is the most densely populated area of ​​the empire, and it is also the most prosperous area for industry, commerce and even agriculture.

Jiangnan Road, North Zhejiang, South Anhui Road and other areas in the south of the Yangtze River occupy half of the empire in terms of population and economy.

And that means more passengers and more freight.

At the same time, this is why there are more and more trains, but the inland water transportation in the Jiangnan area is still developed, and the transportation volume is increasing year by year.

Because the existing train traffic alone cannot support the huge transportation volume in the region, inland water transportation is still an indispensable main mode of transportation.

Even if it is impossible to eat all the transportation market share in the Jiangnan area, the operation of the Jiangnan Railway is still hugely profitable!

In fact, the early construction cost of the Jiangnan Railway was recovered within a few years after it was opened to traffic. Except for the upgrade and double line, maintenance and operation costs, the rest of the revenue was profit.

This year's railways are still very profitable, which can be seen from the fact that the Datang Railway Corporation has built railways everywhere in Manchuria, and has the ability to build the unprofitable Northwest Railway and Central Asia Railway.

Not to mention the railways in other prosperous areas, just this section of the railway line from Tianjin, Hebei Province to Shenyang, Liaodong Province, in the 34th year of Xuanping, contributed more than 3 million yuan in net profit to the railway company.

This is just one of them, and the current Liaodong, Liaodong and Hebei areas, although the industrial development is OK, but far from being on a par with the Jiangnan area, and even if the industrial development is good, but many of the goods inside, they are actually Not all transport by rail, but a section of rail to the port, and then transported by sea.

After all, shipping by sea is cheaper!

It can be seen that the railway is still very profitable in the core area of ​​​​the empire.

It is precisely because the railway makes money that it can support the construction of the entire empire railway line of the Datang Railway Corporation.

In the past ten years, the Datang Railway Corporation has not stopped construction of the railway, and it is the kind of construction of many sections at the same time.

The eastern provinces of the mainland are building railways to make money, and in the north, southwest and northwest regions, they are also building national defense railways.

It's just that so many national defense railways have been built, and the money earned has been repaid. The Datang Railway Corporation, which is engaged in, is still in debt, and the arrears have already created a record high. This year, it officially broke through more than 200 million yuan!

However, although the debt is large, the railway company said it doesn't matter. In fact, as long as they stop and don't repair the railways that lose money, they will soon turn losses into profits, and the profits will be very large. It is trivial to repay the loan.

No way, although they are the only railway company in the Datang Empire, how is it possible that the monopoly industry does not make money.

If you don't make money, something is wrong.

The censors of the Tang Dynasty were not so good at talking.

Today's censors of the Tang Dynasty are counting on catching corrupt officials and getting rich.

Stimulated by the central Asian province, a large number of imperial people took their families and took the train, and then went to the newly established Haidong Province and Xibe Province.

The migration areas of people are basically along the railway line, and some are also along the river, but the migration is still along the railway line in general.

This also led to the gradual increase in the volume of railway transportation.

The railway company has seen the increase in transportation volume and the hope of returning to its original value. At the same time, the military has been urging them to repair the railway to the Caspian Sea as soon as possible, preferably all the way to the Volga River, so as to facilitate the operation of the military.

For this reason, the Railway Corporation has transferred a large amount of funds from the Corporation and continued to invest in the construction of the Central Asia Railway.

The railway company estimates that it should be able to reach Curry, a port city northeast of the Caspian Sea, this year.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a city. It should be said that it is a military camp. Before the Tatars regarded it as a military camp, now the Great Tang Western Expedition Army also regards it as a military camp, and there are tens of thousands of hoarders.

It is the rear base camp of the Ural and Volga fronts.

But if the railway is built here, it means that people and materials can be transported to the Caspian Sea by railway, and then arrive at any port in the Caspian Sea by ship.

This is very important for the Empire's Central Asian strategy and subsequent Eastern European strategy. For this reason, they already have plans to build the military camp of Curry into a real port city.

After next year, it will naturally continue to be repaired in the direction of the Volga River. Where the repair can be achieved at that time will naturally depend on whether the military is strong enough and where it can reach.

In the 35th year of Xuanping, the golden autumn and September, the city of Anle in Tumi Province.

The city is the provincial capital of Tumi Province and also the city of Xizhou Prefecture. It was the capital of the Turpan Khanate before. After the Tartars destroyed the Turpan Khanate, this place became the base for the Tartars to control the Western Regions.

After the Tang Dynasty expelled the Tatars in the Western Regions, this place returned to China. When Tumi Province was established, because the infrastructure here was relatively intact, and at the same time it was located in a strategic location, it was the only way for the Northwest Railway to go to Central Asia. .

At the same time, the city is located in the Turpan Basin, which is one of the few elite areas in the Western Regions that can be cultivated. At that time, this place was not as severely desertified as it was a few hundred years later, so the natural conditions were not bad.

Therefore, the provincial capital of Tumi Province was also established here.

However, although the conditions here are quite good, in He Xihua's view, compared with his hometown in northern Zhejiang, it is one heaven and one underground.

People who leave home are always prone to miss their hometown, especially those who have embarked on the road to Central Asia like him. On the way, they often compare the places they pass with their hometowns.

He Xihua is only nineteen years old this year. Born after the Unification War, he had never experienced any wars, but as a child of the lower-level peasant family, he had never eaten enough in his life.

The empire is getting stronger and stronger, but no matter how strong the empire is, it can't let him eat enough!

Their family was a tenant in the early years, and there was no land that belonged to them. Later, thanks to the mighty grace of the Holy Son of Heaven, they could own their own land by renting and purchasing.

It's just that his father also has three brothers. The three brothers are separated into a family, and there is not much land that belongs to their father by renting and purchasing. Later, they got married and gave birth to five brothers and sisters.

In this way, the output of that land cannot support so many people.

In the early years, his father went to work in the city when the farming was slack, and his mother was busy with farm work and had to bring their five siblings. Although he said that he had not starved to death in the past ten years, he wanted to eat real food. Don't expect a full meal.

Later, his eldest brother grew up a little bit, and even went to work in the city, and the situation in this family was slightly better.

Last year, when he was eighteen years old, he also went to work in the city with his eldest brother. After all his life, he finally saved a little money, and he also recognized a few words with one of their team leaders.

At least his name is written out, and a few commonly used words are recognized.

But he is still a little unwilling. Although he can barely make it through working in the factory, don't expect any improvement~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even the money for marrying a daughter-in-law has to be saved for many years.

But he wants better!

In the past two years, he heard that many people immigrated overseas. In fact, he had long wanted to immigrate with others, but he was always reluctant to part with his family, and he was afraid of distant overseas territories.

Of course, not saving enough money is also a big reason.

Although you can directly sign up for immigration without a penny, the boat ticket and the seeds and tools after arriving at the immigration place are not free, but can be given later through immigration loans.

He didn't want to be burdened with debts as soon as he immigrated. He thought of working first to save a little money, so as not to be empty-handed after immigrating, and everything had to wait for the government's arrangement.

If there is no such thing as a province in Central Asia, he would probably continue to save money, and then spend a few years on a passenger ship to North America, and go to distant overseas to seek a living, even if his father and mother are firmly opposed.

However, when news of Central Asher came out and began to recruit immigrants on a large scale, he was moved.

Going overseas is too risky, and the tickets are expensive, and the distance from home is extremely far away, but if you just immigrate to Central Asia, it will not be a problem.

If you want to come back in the future, you can also take the train back to see the two old people.

After hearing that the conditions for recruiting immigrants in Haidong Province in Central Asia are also very loose, the land is directly sent for free, and some seeds and tools are also subsidized, he can't help it.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he signed up and got on the train.

As the train continued to move forward, He Xihua, who was sitting on the train, was a little uneasy and had expectations. He was afraid that Haidong Province would be too desolate and could not be cultivated, and at the same time he was looking forward to what kind of land he could get.
