With money, things in this world will be easier to deal with.

The railway has been explored before.

Chang Wei, a great engineer from Xishan Jianye, took the lead and began to make arrangements.

All craftsmen are ready-made. In addition to selecting a group of backbones, they also need to recruit another group.

This railway radiates outward with the capital as the center.

The site set up also needs to be investigated.

Workshops everywhere started to start shifts, and countless iron ore was transported to steel workshops. Finally, they turned into steel and then became sections of railway tracks.

Things are much easier than I imagined.

The terrain of the Gyeonggi area is plains, and when laying a railway, the project is very difficult.

This is much better than the south. There are water networks everywhere in the south, lakes and mountains. At present, there is no technology to build railway bridges.

In order to show the emperor that he attached great importance to railway construction and deserved His Majesty's huge investment, Fang Jifan personally led the students of Xishan Engineering College to go to the route for investigation, which took him seven or eight days.

On the other hand, railway stocks began to rise wildly.

Because all this... is much faster than the merchants expected before.

Everyone thought that the construction of a railway would inevitably be an extremely long cycle. Just like the small section of the railway between the new and old towns, it took nearly a year to complete just a short section.

How could they know that this first section of the railway was difficult at the beginning. But now, the railways of the new and old cities have been trained, and a team of engineering and technicians have also had ready-made experience. I thought that the railway that could not be connected in three or five years, or even seven or eight years, was quickly starting to progress.

The first section of the railway track has begun to be laid.

The news from the preparatory office is that what we are adopting now is a phased start-up model, which means that it may be enough to be completed in one year.

A year later, there is even a possibility of profit.

The construction of the railway made the stations along the coast suddenly become popular.

The land prices in the capital were really unattainable, and many merchants began to focus on Baoding and Tongzhou.

There are even rumors that the railway will have a platform directly in the Tongzhou Canal, and a freight terminal will be built in the Tongzhou Canal.

What does this mean?

Now, many people have come back to the taste.

Tongzhou and Baoding built railways to connect the capital. These three points were then connected to the canal, and the canal could be transported directly to Shandong, Nanzhili, and Jiangnan...

Not only that, you can also reach Tianjin Port through the canal. This Tianjin Port is a port. Even though the Ming Dynasty did not allow private trade in the sea now, a large number of fleets voyages to the West also need to buy at Tianjin Port, and even... If the sea ban policy will be loosened... Then...

This... is undoubtedly a major artery.

Under the influence of the theory of wealth of the country, countless people have already had a general understanding of economics.

This is a golden road.

This freight alone is enough to make people salivate.

Not only that, the profits of passenger transport will never be too low. The capital area is the largest population concentration area in the Ming Dynasty. The population in the future will probably increase. Once the railway is built, this means that Tongzhou and Baoding have almost become the suburbs of the capital. At that time...

A group of Hanlin people, stomping their feet, breathing their breath, and tremblingly stood at the door of the Hanlin Courtyard, looking around, their hands were put in their sleeves, sucking their noses with their eyes straight, staring at the convoy that was moving away.

Everyone is envious, but...

I can only imagine it in my heart.

"Hmph!" Someone in the crowd shook his head and showed a pride: "A gentleman is poor, while a villain is poor and a villain is poor."

It seems that this sentence gave other Hanlins enough spiritual strength.

Everyone nodded, their hunched waists were so cold that they stood up a little straight.

Someone pinched his beard and looked at the snowfall in the sky, and couldn't help singing: "The north wind blows snow at the beginning of the fourth day, Jiarui Tianshu and..."

"Ah." Someone said in surprise: "Here, come, the public carriage is here."

The person who recited the poem, before he could finish the poem, suddenly became energetic, and everyone rushed towards the carriage.

There is no way.

The Hanlin Academy is so painful.

They are all Qingliu officials, and they don’t have much money and the salary given by the emperor is low.

Although most people have a wealthy family background, buying a house alone almost clears everyone's family background. Not to mention, there is also the damn mortgage that has suppressed everyone and can't breathe.

In the past, everyone wanted to be a little decent, at least buy a carriage and hire a coachman. But they found that the price of this coachman was getting more and more expensive, and the cost of labor was too scary.

Nowadays, public carriages are becoming more and more popular, and simply, there are more and more people on duty on public carriages.

If you can’t pay the mortgage, you will die without a burial place. At this time, you still need gentleness and face and do whatever you can save money. There is not so much attention to it.

Everyone rushed forward and the person who had grabbed the seat suddenly smiled, stroked his beard, shook his head, and didn't find the seat. He was like a sardine, pushing him to suffocate, and made a sound of ah ah ah, occasionally, mixed with a few low whispers, God knows what he was scolding.

…………

"Young Master...Young Master..." Wang Jinyuan hurriedly found Fang Jifan and said breathlessly: "Young Master, that... that Wang Bushi has come and said he wants to pay homage to the young master."

Of course, Fang Jifan would not have any good impression of Wang Wushi.

Fang Jifan whined softly, then glanced at Wang Jinyuan, and snorted coldly from his mouth: "What are you doing with this dog? Okay, please come."

Five carriages parked steadily at the door of the square house.

Then, Wang Bushi walked into the house with an old robe and a poor bureaucrat who looked like a thrifty poor man.

When he saw Fang Jifan, he smiled and saluted calmly: "Gourmet to Duke Qi."

Fang Jifan sat down, took a sip of tea slowly, looked at Wang Bushi, and teased, "Don't just say anything, you're bowing down."

Wang Bushi: "..."

This greeting was originally a ritual. He was a Hanlin lecturer and scholar. Fang Jifan's identity was not enough to actually bow to the ground and perform a great ceremony.

Who knew that Fang Jifan was so straightforward?

Wang Bushi smiled and did not bow down, but said gently: "The officials came here to repay the Duke of Qi and also gave him a generous gift for the Duke of Qi."

Gift...

Fang Jifan looked around and looked up and down. What about the courtesy? No
