Chapter 504 Deal with Huainan East Road
Instead of worrying about this, it is better to fully believe in the Qilin army. At least after the railway is completed, if it really reaches Kaifeng, then this will be a great opportunity for the entire Huainan East Road!

Jiangtong also sent people to find out about the newly added commercial taxes and commercial restructuring on Liangzhe Road. After knowing that Liangzhe Road relied on this commercial restructuring, it increased the income of the yamen several times and ten times compared to before. , Jiang Tong was also moved.

Today's Huainan East Road has also adopted the policy of the two Zhejiang Roads, reorganized the business, increased a lot of commercial taxes, and subtracted many other taxes.

Jiang Tong, who had already eaten sweet dates, would not want him to go back to the original kind.

And if the railway is built to Huainan East Road, then the business will be more prosperous, and this prosperity is taxation.

And it's not just taxation. Once the railway is completed, besides the financial revenue, it will be more credit. Jiang Tong's future official position will be carefully considered because of Huainan East Road's political achievements.

Maybe one day he will join the cabinet.

Ha ha.

So, after many people left the station and rushed to the post station prepared by the Qilin army in Hangzhou, Jiang Tong found Li Chu alone and talked about the railway construction.

Li Chu committed a difficult crime.

It was rare for the Jiang Transit Envoy to take the initiative to mention the construction of the railway on Huainan East Road. How could Li Chu not agree to this matter?
However, the biggest problem facing Li Chu now is that the route of this railway is not long enough!
Li Chu has already used up all the [-] miles of railway rewarded in the system's train gift package.

The railway from Jiangning to Rufen Town occupies [-] miles, and then a railway branch from Changsha goes south to Panyu on Guangnan East Road. This railway takes up the remaining [-] miles. If you want to travel in Huainan If the west road is built with a railway, Li Chu will have to pay for the subsequent railway construction from his own pocket.

This is not money from my pocket.

But custom coins.

How do you tell Jiang Tong about this thing?

It is estimated that in the eyes of Jiang Tong and others, the most expensive thing to repair this thing is money. Maybe Jiang Tong will take the initiative to spend a large sum of money, but can this money be compared with customized coins?

There is no comparison at all.

"Master Jiang Zhuanyun, there are too many and too many things that can be involved in this matter, can you let the first consideration?"

There is no doubt that the railway on Huainan West Road must be built.

This is the time, when to repair?

The rest is the question of funds. After the system presented this train gift package, a large number of railways appeared and at the same time lowered the price of railways in the customized system, not only lowered, but very low, until Li Chu's current customized currency can be used to build the railway on Huainan West Road. If it is enough, it is a question of whether it is worth it.

And, what can Huainan East Road give Li Chu?
Otherwise, there is no practical benefit at all, and it would be a waste to spend so much financial resources.

But what are the benefits of Huainan East Road?Li Chu couldn't think of anything for the time being, and he didn't expect Jiang Tong to say anything good.

"Don't worry, General, Jiang also knows that once the railway is built, it will cost a lot of money. There is not much money left in Huainan, but the manpower is at the command of the General, and we will do our best to satisfy the General. To be able to build the Huainan East Railway, Jiang owes the General a huge favor."

Favor?
Li Chu still shook his head, and he was not in a hurry to refuse, but said: "After all, it involves too much, and now the construction of railways on other roads in the south of the Yangtze River has been decided, even if it is to be built to the east of Huainan The way to go, but it will not be repaired in a short while. You have to wait for the entire [-] miles of the Jiangnan side to be repaired before you can consider other state roads. How about some time to think about it?"

Jiang Tong is not an ignorant person. When Li Chu said this, he had no choice but to agree: "This matter will take a lot of work, General, Jiang Tong thank you here."

"Ah."

Today's opening ceremony is to be completed in one day.

After the train arrived in Hangzhou, I didn't plan to stay here for too long.

I just want everyone to walk around Hangzhou City, take a short rest, and really feel Hangzhou, and then return.

After all, they were all from Jiangning, and they were only here to attend the opening ceremony of the Ningxia-Hangzhou Railway to go through the motions. Li Chu had no intention of letting them stay overnight in Hangzhou.

After playing in the city of Hangzhou for a while, I told everyone to go back to the train station and return.

This time, Li Chu did not intercept the common people in Hangzhou.

It is okay for ordinary people to enter the train station to visit, but they must maintain order and put them in in batches. Otherwise, many tragedies will definitely occur if they rush in, such as stampedes and so on.

At the same time, the train is moving here, and the two sides of the platform are also very dangerous places.

For this reason, Li Chu directly asked the soldiers of the Qilin Army to form a human wall on both sides of the platform to prevent everyone from entering the railway and causing accidents.

At this time, the second car from Jiangning also arrived in Hangzhou.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Qilin Army set up a human wall on the platform in advance to intercept it. Many people saw the train coming, which was very novel, and even wanted to get on the track. Chun Dao forcibly pulled them from the track.

When the second car stopped at Hangzhou Station, the Jiangnan also started to return.

After a handover, the train returns.

Jiangnan is composed of two locomotives at the front and rear, so the train can directly change the locomotive pulled by it.

The second car needs to unload the locomotive, and then the locomotive makes a big turn in the railway circle ahead, then re-fixes the train from the other side of the train, and pulls it again.

Compared with the Jiangnan, the second and third vehicles did not spend much time in Hangzhou.

After all, this matter is already in the afternoon. If they stay in Hangzhou for too long, it will be dark when they return to Jiangning.

The Jiangnan is gone.

The second car stayed here, and a large number of people were looking at the second car.

The businessmen on the second bus, or the common people who had grabbed tickets, or the powerful people who bought high-priced scalper tickets, also got off the bus and looked at the Hangzhou Station in front of them.

Actually arrived in Hangzhou in more than two hours.

Many businessmen have seen the business opportunities inside.

Li Chu didn't know what this group of people thought or thought.

On the way back, the Jiangnan encountered three cars departing from Jiangning, and the cars roared past on two different railroad tracks.

While waiting for the Jiangnan to return to Jiangning Station, the sky outside was already approaching dusk.

That night, Li Chu held a banquet for everyone in a restaurant owned by the Qilin Army in Jiangning City.

This restaurant is also opening for the first time today.

The dishes in the restaurant are also special products only found in Rufen Town of Qilin Army.

Braised pork, stewed pork, fried pork with chili, etc., you can enjoy it here again tonight.
