“Thanks to you, Fusu, I, Da Qin, can have the prosperous times we have today!”

On the way back, Ying Zheng was still intoxicated by the scene of the people cheering just now, and said with a joyful expression.

The Qin Dynasty wants to last forever, and this people’s heart is the foundation of the foundation.

As long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, even a small number of people have If you have different intentions, you won’t make any big noise at all, and they will be destroyed directly by the people above and below.

The support from the bottom of the heart of the people is undoubtedly the greatest achievement for the First Emperor.

“Although it is a bit unpleasant, I have to remind you that once this subsidy policy comes out, the national treasury will be tight again.”

“And not just farmers, many original ox-carriage drivers would also rush to buy steam tractors for transporting goods, increasing the burden on the court.”

Nei Shiteng on the side smiled bitterly and said.

“It doesn’t matter, I have long said that money can have the strongest effect only when it flows”

“The promotion of steam tractors will improve the agricultural farming efficiency of Daqin to a higher level. It will be a strong guarantee for the prosperity of farmers in Daqin. It is worth spending more money.”

“Moreover, the reason why steam tractors are sold at low prices is to strengthen the enthusiasm of Daqin people to immigrate to new areas.”

“Before this, although the imperial court had given many preferential conditions for relocating to new territories, such as higher land caps, more agricultural subsidies, etc., it was still unattractive to most people.”

“The reason is very simple. The ability of a family is limited. Without the help of steam tractors, no matter how much land is cultivated, it will be useless. It will even be punished for being abandoned for too long.”

“With the advent of steam tractors, several or dozens of families can move together, choose a flat and fertile area, directly lease thousands or even ten thousand acres of fertile land, and implement large-scale mechanized farming, which will bring in income. That’s enough to make the people tempted'”

“Moreover, steam tractors can also be used as transportation, allowing farmers to reach more remote areas for pioneering.”

“Even if someone uses a steam engine to run freight, it will also promote the flow of trade in Daqin. The court will eventually be able to gradually recover the subsidy expenditure through commercial taxes, but it is just a matter of time.”

“Moreover, we can also take this opportunity to greatly enhance Daqin’s industrial production capacity and allow Daqin’s steam engine manufacturing industry to truly develop.”

“The reason why these factories could not develop before was that in addition to the extremely high technical foundation and the need to comply with strict confidentiality measures, the biggest reason was that the investment was too high, the market size was too small, and there were too few people who could afford steam cars.”

“Therefore, not only the farmers who purchase steam tractors, but also the large merchants who are willing to invest in steam tractors should be provided with corresponding subsidies to encourage them to expand production.”

“Although the investment figure will be relatively large, as long as everything is successful, Daqin will truly enter the mechanization era.”

“At most, it is just a partial re-issuance of bonds. Based on the court’s current reputation and the prospects of the steam engine, there is no need to worry about no one subscribing.”

Fusu smiled and waved his hand.

“What His Highness said is true. Now our Daqin’s economic development has reached a bottleneck, and the growth of foreign trade is getting slower and slower. If we want to break through again, in addition to strengthening infrastructure and increasing logistics capabilities, we must make the people further wealthy. Only then can we have stronger purchasing power and drive trade growth through domestic demand.”

Xiao He spoke in agreement.

“Don’t forget, today’s Mediterranean region was first devastated by a locust plague, and then the war between Rome and Carthage intensified, and a large number of laborers were recruited. This year’s harvest will definitely not be that strong.”

“At that time, their only choice is to continue to purchase grain with Da Qin. The profits from this will be enough to recoup more than half of these subsidy investments.”

Chen Ping also smiled and said.

Li Si and others nodded.

The huge profits from the foreign trade of grain last year left a very deep impression on them. The huge profits were not inferior to arms exports. And even Rome and The Carthaginians realized something was wrong and had no other choice.

The reason was very simple. Except for Daqin, which had sufficient food, the rest of the world did not have enough food to eat. How could there be any excess share to sell to these two The country.

As for starving, that is even more impossible.

Once the ground is full of hunger, there will be a lot of problems in Rome and Carthage. If there is no big chaos, there will be ghosts.

Food has become unknowingly. An important means for Da Qin to control the world

“Farmers are the foundation of our Great Qin. Only when farmers become rich can the prosperous age of Great Qin be truly realized!”

“.Wasn’t Nei Shiqing still complaining about the delay in opening of the Xianluo Railway and the inability of goods from various places to reach Xianyang City in time?”

“This steam tractor is used for freight transportation, and it can also be improved. After Ying

Zheng finished speaking, he turned to look at Fusu and said,”By the way, Fusu, what’s the progress of the Xianluo Railway? When will it be opened to traffic?””

“At present, tunnel excavation has been basically completed and is entering the final construction phase.”

“The reason why the progress is slower than expected is mainly because after sufficient funds were available, the originally planned second phase of the double line was directly added to the construction.”

“Otherwise, if there is only one single line, it will be difficult to meet the passenger demand, let alone the freight demand.”(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Fusu introduced.

The difference between a double line and a single line is not just a difference in quantity, but a real qualitative change.

If there is only a single line, the trains running in opposite directions will be different. The itinerary needs to be strictly planned. In many cases, you need to enter the buffer zone to give way, otherwise you will directly���superior.

The advantage of double-tracking is that there is only one running direction on a single track, so the pressure on traffic management will be greatly reduced, and the number of trains that can run at the same time will also be greatly increased.

If you want to open passenger and freight transport at the same time, you must have both lines connected.[]

And compared to passenger transport, Daqin currently has a higher demand for railway freight.

The emergence of freight railways will truly solve the obstacles to transportation in Guanzhong due to the natural dangers of the Qinling Mountains, truly connect Xianyang City and the Central Plains, and follow the Grand Canal to the south of the Yangtze River and into the sea.

This is far inferior to the canals in the Sanmenxia area that require trackers to pull.

And even in later generations, freight was the main source of railway revenue, and passenger trains were in a state of loss most of the time.

The smile on Ying Zheng’s face suddenly grew stronger..
