Chapter 1529, Build the Yangtze River Bridge?

"This is the era when capital begins, and there are too many things to be preferential and perfected."

"However, if such an order can be maintained, it would be a good situation."

Looking at the Huangpu River in front of him, Liu Jin sighed.

People in this period still valued their reputation more. The Ming Dynasty's bosses basically did not treat their workers, men or other things too harshly.

Moreover, ordinary people cherish their work because they were poor in the past, especially those who can learn skills.

Hard work is the gene engraved in the bones of this nation!

When the boss gave the money, everyone had only one belief, that is, they wanted to do a good job for the boss.

Moreover, since ancient times, loyalty, filial piety, integrity and shame have been emphasized, the first thing is loyalty. The ministers are loyal to the emperor, the servants in this family are loyal to the master, and the worker and the worker are naturally loyal to the boss, and they are dedicated to their duties, and regard the affairs of the boss more important than themselves.

Such an idea and concept was also very popular in the Ming Dynasty, so many times, many business owners handed over a large amount of money to the accountants to manage, and they didn’t have to worry too much about anything happening. In this era, the accountants and the staff rarely said that they would spit out their owner’s money and industries.

Because once such a thing is exposed, it will not only be punished by the government, but even if there is no evidence, just a little news will be out, and no one will do business with you in the future.

Reputation is more important than anything else to people of this era.

It was such an era that made Liu Jin feel that it was a really good era.

The people of the Ming Dynasty were diligent, wise, confident, and loyal, and many excellent qualities were fully reflected.

As long as you have a place to eat and live, you can work hard and work diligently to do things for your boss for a year, without any worries about not giving you wages by the end of the year.

Where can I find such an excellent nation in the world?

"Let's go and see the ever-changing Songhu."

However, Liu Jin also knew that relying on self-consciousness alone was not enough, and everything still needs to be maintained by law, especially capital, which needs to be firmly bound by law, otherwise capital can do anything.

Just like this time, these factory owners used slaves in large quantities.

These factory owners did not regard slaves as humans at all. The slaves had to work at least six or seven hours a day in the dark factory buildings. Apart from eating and sleeping, they were like numb machines, working endlessly until they were completely exhausted on the assembly line.

Wang Shouren's proposal is very correct, and it is necessary to introduce such laws to protect the rights and interests of workers, just like the previous Sumu Code.

At the same time, this is also a disguised process that prompts capitalists to constantly find ways to improve technology and production efficiency, and promote the core of technology and the development of technology.

Well, the machine does not need rest, and there is no right or interest to anyone.

Accompanied by Wang Shouren, Liu Jin conducted a inspection of the major factories in Songhu and conducted a detailed investigation of the industrial layout in Songhu.

Although Songhu is an emerging city, it has developed extremely rapidly. A large number of factories settled in Songhu, which has brought a large number of jobs to this place and attracted millions of people to come to Songhu to work and settle down.

The shipbuilding industry, textile industry, steel industry, infrastructure industry and commerce are all very developed. The shipbuilding industry is the Tianjin Shipyard setting up a branch in Songhu, which has driven the rapid development of Songhu Shipyard.

Coupled with the growing rapid development of global trade, colonialism and marine fishing, the shipyards of all sizes in the Ming Dynasty were very popular, and the orders were basically scheduled to go a few years later.

Not to mention the textile industry, the textile industry is one of the pillar industries of the Ming Dynasty today. Not only does there be a large number of textile factories in the north, but the textile industry in Songhu is also developed, and it is mainly based on silk spinning, and it is all taking the high-end product route.

Silk is not something that ordinary people can afford to wear, and it is expensive. Even in the Ming Dynasty, silk fabrics are also high-end luxury goods. Related products are sold well around the world and can bring huge benefits to the Ming Dynasty every year.

There is no way. The Ming Dynasty is now the most powerful country in the world. The trend of the Ming Dynasty will naturally become popular all over the world, and the high-end products and luxury goods of the Ming Dynasty will also become popular all over the world.

Rice paper, silk, porcelain, brocade and other things are very expensive and are popular all over the world.

The Iron and Steel Industry also set up a branch in Songhu. The iron ore used comes from Ma'anshan, Huguang area, and relies on the convenient water transportation of the Yangtze River.

Steel is a basic pillar industry. Now the Ming Dynasty has a very strong demand for steel, which has also led to an extremely large industrial chain. A large number of factories and workshops survive around the steel industry.

The steel produced by Songhu Iron and Steel Plant supports the huge demand for steel in the south of the Ming Dynasty and the Yangtze River.

Not to mention the construction industry, since the emergence of cement, it has quickly become popular throughout the Ming Dynasty. It is indispensable for building bridges and roads, building houses and tiles.spanstyle>Grill/spanstyle>

Jiangnan is rich and has a very high demand for cement. Cement factories of all sizes have also been established in Songhu to support the infrastructure construction of the entire Jiangnan.

"Songhu is a microcosm of Jiangnan. If this Jiangnan develops rapidly like the Beijing-Tianjin area, it will soon surpass the north."

On the road back to Tianjin, Liu Jin sat in a four-wheeled carriage and talked to Wang Shouren about the development of Songhu.

In fact, in later generations, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the north was much stronger than the south, especially the three northeastern provinces. Because of the existence of a large number of state-owned enterprises, it was even more powerful than the south.

However, with the continuous development, the South began to gradually surpass the North in all respects. There are many factors and reasons, but the most important reason is that the climate and natural conditions in the South are better than those in the North.

"Yes, Jiangnan has always been a prosperous place. Throughout the dynasties, Jiangnan has been a place of tax and a land of fish and rice, but its development is much slower than that in the north."

Wang Shouren also nodded solemnly. He is from Zhejiang and is very familiar with the situation in Jiangnan. It has a large population, rich resources, and is a brilliant place. No matter which dynasty, it is the most important place.

"Slow down now, but you will catch up soon. The South attaches importance to education. Whether it is private schools, academies or emerging new school schools, the South is very popular, and there are many people studying, which is destined to have infinite possibilities and futures in the future."

Liu Jin nodded and the carriage drove to the edge of the Yangtze River.

After someone stopped the carriage, Liu Jin came to the Yangtze River and looked at the Yangtze River in front of him. The water of the Yangtze River was still very clear and the water was also very abundant. Ships of all sizes came and went east and west on the Yangtze River, and they could also see small fishing boats casting nets to fish in the Yangtze River.

Even though it is the cold winter month, the weather is cold and the wind is gusts of cold wind on the river surface, it is still so busy.

"Liu Jin, I plan to build a cross-river bridge here in Nanjing to connect the north and south of the Yangtze River."

"If I only rely on a boat, it would be inconvenient to travel between the north and south of the Yangtze River. I had plans and ideas for bridges a long time ago. It only requires huge funds to build a bridge on such a wide Yangtze River, and it also requires extremely high bridge construction technology."

Wang Shouren, who was standing beside him, looked at the broad river in front of him and told Liu Jin a thought in his heart.

As the governor of Nanzhili, Wang Shouren still wanted to leave something for Nanzhili. A bridge across the Yangtze River is definitely very good.

"Build a bridge above the Yangtze River?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately started to think quickly.

In later generations, more than 100 bridges were built from the middle to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Starting from the earliest Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, more and more constructions became more and more.

These bridges greatly facilitate exchanges and transportation between the north and south of the Yangtze River and promote development between various regions.

However, there were many criticisms in later generations.

It is believed that when these Yangtze River Bridges were built, the lack of vision and the height of the bridge was not visible enough, which greatly hindered the Yangtze River from playing its role in its own river transportation, and a large ship of ten thousand tons could not pass.

In later generations, the Yangtze River had a water volume of six times that of the Rhine, but the shipping value was not even one-tenth of that of its. The important reason for this is that there are Yangtze River bridges built on it.

The height of these bridges is not enough, like iron chains, blocking the ships on the Yangtze River. Only small and medium-sized ships can sail on the Yangtze River, while large cargo ships cannot sail on the Yangtze River.

The consequences are that Huguang, Jiangxi and Anhui in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River have become directly inland areas and cannot enjoy the advantages of the river. The development is greatly restricted and there is no advantage of the coastal areas.

Otherwise, if the Yangtze River can pass through ten thousand tons of ships, the entire Yangtze River will not be much different from the coastal areas. The cost of shipping is much lower than that of land transportation.

"It is a good thing to build the Yangtze River Bridge, but when building the Yangtze River Bridge, you must build it higher. You cannot let this bridge become a shackle, blocking the development of Huguang, Jiangxi and other regions in the middle and upper reaches."

After thinking about this clearly, Liu Jin also said.

"Come on high school?"

“How high is it to repair?”

Wang Shouren asked in confusion.

"Old Wang, look at the river surface in front of you. The ships are not too big now. They don't seem to need to be built too high. But in a hundred years, the ships may become bigger and bigger. At that time, if we don't have a vision, if the bridge is too short, it will probably be stumbled by someone."
