Originally, Yang Xin had planned to build other railroads from Jiuyuan to Duolun, but after seeing the production and cost of the rails, he had the idea of building other railroads at the same time.
For example, Jiuyuan to Ulan Bator in the north, the Western Regions in the west, and so on. The south had not been communicated yet.
The total length of these three railroads was more than 5,000 kilometers. The strategic significance of these three railroads was greater than the profits. It was impossible to rely on them to generate income. After all, this was not a densely populated area.
What Yang Xin needed was to take all the mines here under his command and use the resources of these places to increase his strength. When he was strong enough, he could go south and take in those local armed forces.
"Young Master, are you kidding me by building a railway in three places at the same time? Isn't this a waste?" Yang Song opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief.
"It's not a waste!" Yang Xin felt that he still had to instill some strategic planning into this loyal butler.
With the development of the Jiuyuan Heavy Industrial Zone, the commercial and manufacturing industries of Jiuyuan would definitely expand in the future. To a certain extent, any expansion would require transportation.
Without a strong transportation force, it was impossible to expand. Not to mention the military significance, just the commercial aspect alone had great benefits.
Therefore, this was also the meaning of Yang Xin's direct construction of two lanes, one for cargo and one for passenger. Of course, if the traffic increased in the future, it could also be paved into four lanes.
Yang Xin even wanted to build a separate military transport, but considering his own finances, he dismissed this idea. It was still beneficial to expand within a certain range. If it was too big, it would easily affect him.
Yang Xin kept introducing. At this time, Yang Song was completely stunned. His young master did not treat money as money at all. It was just a bunch of numbers.
He had never seen such a big deal before. Moreover, he felt that the two-lane road was a little unrealistic and even wasteful.
Not to mention that all railway construction was to build a single track first, and then add a double track. This was the general practice of all railway construction. Of course, Yang Xin also accepted this suggestion.
Soon, the construction of the three railway lines was approved. Yang Xin was relieved. He knew very well that once the railway lines were completed, the production capacity of Jiuyuan would definitely explode in the future. The things that could be produced by the ten million tons steel center were also terrifying.
He could already predict that Jiuyuan would become a city with a population of one million in the future. The people here would live around the steel factory.
In fact, Yang Xin still had some plans that he did not say. He was afraid that if he said it, Yang Song would be so scared that he would have a heart attack.
That was the Ring Road Plan, which was to build a ring road railway to connect all the cities and promote the economic development of the entire region.
If it was realized, then the connection within the region would be even closer, and the economy would be completely driven. All the silver buried in the cellar would be dug out, stimulating consumption and stimulating the economy.
It was a very simple method that even a middle school student in the future could understand. However, very few people in this era understood it.
The simplest example would be providing work as a form of relief, but it had completely pulled America out of the quagmire of crisis, while the other powers had no clue at all.
After inspecting the steel factory, Yang Xin went to the city. Jiuyuan was an old city, messy and without a reasonable plan.
With the steel mill's arrival, some necessary planning and design were put on the agenda. Three connections, one leveling, water and electricity, access roads, and leveling of the land.
The three roads were very simple. Basically, they were working overtime to build. It was a little troublesome to level one, but with the high demolition fees, the people obediently handed over their houses.
In a sense, the commoners 'request was very simple. They just needed to live a good life, eat their fill, and wear warm clothes.
Especially when Jiuyuan started to build factories, the people here received real benefits. Those who had the strength worked hard, and their income was ten or twenty times higher than before.
Some smart and skilled people could open a restaurant or tea house and earn a lot of money. The worst ones could sell some small things to support their families.
This was much better than relying on the heavens in the past. The eyes of the common people were bright. They naturally understood who brought them benefits.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred, and a hundred spread to a thousand. Everyone knew that Nine Plains had a huge business opportunity. Many people from the cities in the surrounding provinces rushed here, causing the population under Yang Xin to increase again.
After exceeding one million, it increased again, increasing towards two million, causing Yang Xin to be excited.
Therefore, the demolition went very smoothly. There were no nail households at all. The original three-meter-long street was directly expanded to 20 meters. New shops were built on both sides, and rows of new three-story buildings were behind.
