The solution Gao Huan thought for Shanxi was to transport the coal, sell it in the winter, and quickly collect the money for Shanxi to repay debts.

If the income from selling coal is not enough, when everyone sees that the train can transport coal out of Shanxi at a relatively low transportation cost, the funds of each bank and private sector will feel that it is indeed profitable, so they will borrow money from Shanxi again so that the Shanxi Provincial Administration and the General Office will not have any funds broken.

Of course, this time, Shanxi's fiscal crisis was solved, and the court must strengthen monitoring and urge Shanxi to gradually reduce the scale of its debts.

After inspecting the Ministry of Industry and learning about the situation of the locomotive from Song Yingxing, Gao Huan determined that his plan was very feasible.

When he returned, he asked China Merchants Shipping Company to transfer several inland transport ships, load the three dismantled prototypes onto the transport ships, and then assembled them to Tianjin, and then drove along the railway to Shanxi to ship coal.

At this time, workers on the dock were carrying out shipments, while Gao Huan and several ministers stood not far away to watch.

"Your Majesty, even if this train can reduce transportation costs after it arrives in Shanxi, will it cause a large amount of coal to fall again if it is put into the market?" Although Du Yinxi is not good at the economy, he still understands the basic rules.

The reason why Shanxi had a financial crisis was simply that the government's expenses and investment were large. The main source of coal in Shanxi's administrative department was sold, but due to the decline in coal prices, Shanxi's fiscal revenue was insufficient and the government was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Now that trains are used, a large amount of coal is put into the market, the coal price will definitely continue to fall, which makes Du Yinxi a little worried, but it still cannot solve the financial crisis in Shanxi.

Gao Huan nodded slightly and said, "The price of coal will definitely fall again, but after the coal price falls, the northern people who did not burn coal will definitely buy a lot of coal for the winter, and the demand for coal will also increase, which will eventually make the coal price fall in a reasonable position. Coal in Shanxi must take the route of small profits but quick turnover. Coal is a necessity for people's lives, and I must definitely make the price cut."

The coal price at this time was actually quite high. Only wealthy families in the north could open up burning coal for heating and cooking. The coal consumed in a year was actually relatively limited.

If coal prices continue to fall and ordinary people can afford to burn, the annual coal consumption will be an astronomical figure.

With Shanxi's current productivity, it can be said that no matter how hard it is, it cannot satisfy the consumption of the people.

As fuel and energy, coal must be afforded by the people. If the price is too high, it will not only be difficult for the people to endure winter, but will also affect the economic development of the Qian Dynasty.

Gao Huan paused, "Of course, in order to solve the problem in Shanxi this time, coal prices cannot fall too low, and the court must adopt regulatory policies."

Du Yinxi said: "Your Majesty also asks for instructions."

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "To keep the coal price, first of all, the coal transported out cannot be allowed to gather in Hebei. The court must prepare ships and transport the coal transported to Tianjin to the northeast and Jiangnan. A place in the northeast is colder in winter than in the pass. If the kang is not burned at night, it can freeze people to death. There is a large demand for coal. The cities in the south of the Yangtze River have a large population, and there are not so many trees and firewood to make fires. Look, the trees in Jiangnan have almost been cut down in recent years. The court needs to prohibit the continued cut down of trees and encourage the people to burn coal. Not to mention other cities, just Nanjing has a population of nearly one million, how much coal will it consume in a day?"

After hearing Gao Huan's words, Du Yinxi immediately realized that in the future, Shanxi might quickly recover its vitality and become one of the richest provinces in big work. Shanxi's Shanxi merchants may rise again.

Du Yinxi and Chen Zilong also realized that they had their own ideas in their hearts and had to bring their capital into Shanxi. Taking advantage of the fact that the Shanxi merchants had not recovered their vitality and had no money, they would invest in Shanxi coal mines and take down the mining rights.

Seeing that both of them understood, Gao Huan asked, "What are the attitudes of the various silver accounts and private capital in Jiangnan?"

Not long ago, after Ma Zhiwen published an article revealing the situation in Shanxi, various banks and private capital stopped lending to Shanxi and sent special personnel to Shanxi to urge them to ask for loans.

Although Gao Huan asked major newspapers controlled by the official to publish articles, saying that Shanxi's economy is stable and improving, for some reason, in recent years, the credibility of the government in the government has become worse and worse, and the people do not believe it at all, and they feel that the government in Shanxi is going bankrupt.

Chen Zilong shook his head, "Report to Your Majesty, they are still very worried about the situation in Shanxi. Ma Zhiwen's article has a great influence. After investigation, all banks almost recognized Ma Zhiwen's judgment, believing that the railway was not very effective and could not save Shanxi's economy. Now all banks have stopped lending, and many workshops in Jiangnan cannot borrow money. A few days ago, there were workshop owners who went bankrupt due to fund breakdown and jumped into the Qinhuai River at night."

"Since that's the case, let them send someone to go north with me and let them see what technology is the primary productive force." Gao Huan's face darkened when he heard the word, "I will leave this matter to you."

The train officially runs on the railway, which must be a major event in history textbooks.

Gao Huan decided to participate in it personally, which was not only a solution to the problem in Shanxi, but also a witness to the great moment.

After loading the front of the vehicle manufactured by the Ministry of Industry and departure, Gao Huan stayed in Nanjing for a few days, and then took representatives of the various silver numbers and wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan to set off in a mighty way to Tianjin Wei.

After Han Zhaoxuan returned to Shanxi, he knew that even if the crisis was over, the Shanxi officialdom would usher in an earthquake.

Previously, he thought about the superiors and focused most of his energy on railway construction in order to cater to Gao Huan's idea of ​​building a railway.

In order to build the railway as soon as possible and win the favor of His Majesty the Emperor, he was more radical in employed people. No matter how his style or whether his hands and feet were clean, as long as he could achieve success in building the railway, he turned a blind eye to the officials' violations of laws and regulations.

In the past four years, the Shanxi officialdom has assessed whether an official is good or bad, not whether he is honest or abides by national laws and disciplines, but whether he has the ability to complete Shangguan’s instructions.

Han Zhaoxuan thinks he is a member of the powerful man who can fight, engage in economics and construction.

The Taijin Railway is nearly a thousand miles long and it was completed in four years. There were not many officials in the entire Ganchao, so he had this strength.

Now that this problem occurs, Han Zhaoxuan knows that his situation is very dangerous. If he doesn't do it well, his political life will end and he must start saving himself.
