"Your Majesty, officials responsible for the development of railway construction such as Sun Pan, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Qiu Ye, the director of the Ministry of Industry, sent telegrams saying that it is simply impossible to build a railway to Chengdu, Sichuan."
"I request your Majesty and all the princes in the court to reconsider this matter!"
Yang Yiqing, Minister of Industry, handed the telegram from Sun Pan to Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi read the telegram carefully. In the telegram, Sun Pan, Qiu Ye and others described in detail the difficulties of the Shu Road and the difficulties faced in building the railway. He believed that it was simply impossible to build a railway in such a place. things.
¡°And even if a railway could be built, the cost would probably be very huge. Simply using money to build a railway would be very uneconomical for the court.
At the same time, he also bluntly stated in the telegram that only by walking there in person will you know how difficult the road to Shu is, how difficult it is to reach the sky. This is definitely not an exaggerated adjective, but it is truly very difficult, even walking is already difficult. Going to the sky, let alone building a railway, is simply impossible.
"You all should take a look."
After Emperor Hongzhi read it, he immediately showed the telegram to Liu Jin, Wang Shouren, Zhong Zhong, and Han Wen for them to read.
Liu Jin finally read the telegram carefully. After reading it, he remained silent and handed the telegram to Zhong Zhong and Wang Shouren.
How could I not know that the road to Shu is difficult?
强牺 zhuiwen.org 读牺。 He also said he would go there in person. It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t been there before. In places like Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, I know the steep mountains and rivers and the extremely undulating terrain. It is precisely because I clearly know the difficulty of the Shu Road and the inconvenience of external transportation in the Land of Abundance that I was able to build such a railway. .
If the land of Tianfu can open up the external transportation network, then the entire southwest of the Ming Dynasty can become rich and stable, just like in later generations, with the rise and rapid development of Chengdu, the economy of the southwest region is centered on Chengdu, Sichuan, and its rapid development developed.
The most obvious point is that in the past, there were a lot of migrant workers in Sichuan. However, with the development of Sichuan and Chengdu, the number of migrant workers has decreased significantly. Everyone can find a job in Sichuan, and the entire southwest is also developing extremely rapidly. .
In the land of abundance, the importance of the Sichuan Basin is extremely important to the entire Ming Dynasty. Once the Sichuan Basin is completed, it will also be a super large granary and a land of fish and rice.
Sichuan now has a very large population. According to the census of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, the population of Sichuan exceeds 8 million. It is definitely a province with a large population.
This time 75*zw.com Zhang Si. However, because Sichuan's transportation is extremely inconvenient, Sichuan's population cannot migrate outside the customs or overseas on a large scale like other provinces. They can only continue to stay in Sichuan. As a result, the contradiction between man and land in Sichuan is still very acute. A large number of The gentry, landlords, etc. occupied a large amount of land, but the farmers who actually cultivated the land did not have their own land and lived in poverty.
And there is no way for people from other places to work in big cities, so places like Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan can now be said to be the poorest places in the Ming Dynasty.
The traffic conditions here are really bad. People can¡¯t get out, and people from outside can¡¯t get in.
Factories, workshops, trading firms, etc. in other parts of the Ming Dynasty have already taken off and developed extremely rapidly. However, here in Sichuan, development is very slow because it is difficult to transport outside machines in and people who know the technology are unwilling to come. Here in Sichuan.
Because you can make a living anywhere and live a pretty good life, there is no need to go to Sichuan to suffer and suffer.
In a relatively closed environment, Sichuan's external exchanges of goods and information are very slow and very rare, and its development will naturally lag behind, even inferior to many territories newly incorporated into the Ming Dynasty.
The railway must be built. Once the railway is built, it will open up the development of Sichuan.
Sichuan¡¯s large surplus population can continuously migrate overseas and to other provinces outside the customs, and Sichuan itself can also develop rapidly.
The development of Sichuan can also drive the development of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing. If Chengdu can become an emerging industrial city like Tianjin and Songhu, it will naturally attract a large number of people from Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan to work, live and settle in Chengdu. .
Difficult, definitely difficult!
But it¡¯s not that it¡¯s impossible to build. Internal combustion engines have come out, and all kinds of engineering equipment and machines are like spring after the rain.Because since Sun Pan and Qiu Ye think it is impossible and cannot be completed, then we should replace it with people who are capable and can complete this task. "
"The development of the railway is related to the long-term peace and stability of our Ming Dynasty, and is related to the stability and development of our Ming Dynasty in the southwest. How can we shrink back just because of difficulties." At this time 9b*zw.com Zhang Si
Zhong Zhong also followed up and said, this Sun Pan also said that we should reconsider it again and again. We made this decision after repeated consideration. Otherwise, why do you think we should build a railway?
The situation in Ming Dynasty is very good now. It wants money and is very stable. Everyone is relatively united and is thinking about doing a good job in construction and running the country well. If we don¡¯t take advantage of this time to build this railway, who knows in the future? What kind of accident will happen. Zhi Da Zhi Xiao
Does it mean that we have to wait until the court has no money?
Is the DPRK in turmoil?
Or should we wait until the conflict between the ruling and opposition parties continues before repairing it?
