Chapter 424
Just when the whole Daqin was rejoicing in the subsidy policy for steam tractors, queuing up to participate in farmers' mutual aid organizations, and queuing up to order, the Daqin Xianluo passenger and freight dual-purpose railway was officially opened to traffic.
With the process of the train's fame, this opening ceremony was several times more than the last test run, and the people of the entire Xianyang City and the surrounding areas rushed over to see the excitement, enough to accommodate 100,000 people in the huge square, and even the parking lot was full of people.
Especially in the past cold winter, the major businessmen who have been confused by the ice and snow closure for a long time are not lacking, and all of them came to Xianyang Railway Station early to witness this grand ceremony in person.
However, businessmen were more concerned about the new freight train than ordinary people who focused their attention on passenger trains.
Although the last trial run has witnessed the power of passenger trains, which can easily pull more than ten carriages and more than 1,000 people, but after all, it only runs more than 100 miles back and forth, and freight and passenger transportation are also two concepts, so you still have to see it in person to rest assured.
Moreover, how to arrange the number of passenger and freight trains, how to apply for carriages, how to load and unload goods, whether they will be damaged in transportation, and other new issues are the focus of attention of businessmen.
The Daqin Railway Company specially printed thousands of freight leaflets for 793 were quickly sold out, and the businessmen gathered together to study various data for a long time, with excitement and anticipation on their faces.
Although they still don't know much about it, they just need to know that this train has a very strong freight capacity, and it is beyond their imagination.
A special freight wagon, the maximum carrying capacity is directly up to 100,000 catties, and after the use of double heads at the same time, the whole freight train can carry up to 20 standard wagons at the same time.
Looking at the long list of numbers, a self-proclaimed well-informed businessman could hardly imagine his eyes.
"A freight train is a carrying capacity of two million catties, which is too exaggerated, right?"
"I don't know how many times stronger than the road, and even the canal can't compare!"
"Not to mention the inland river, it's a big sea ship, not much stronger than this train!"
"This is not necessarily, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked the Engineering Academy to study the use of steam engines as a powered ship, once successful, it can run fast without wind, and it can be loaded with more. "
"(BADB) When the canal and railway, my Daqin's transportation and logistics capacity will usher in another leap. "
"In particular, the inland areas planned by several railways will soon be developed, and these are all business opportunities!"
The eyes of the big businessmen lit up instantly, and looking at the long train, it was like seeing mountains of gold and silver.
"It's not all good news, is it?"
"Not to mention the large investment and the occupation of a lot of resources, this transportation capacity seems to be very powerful, but it also depends on the effect after the actual operation. "
"The original cement straights, the Grand Canal was not blown before it was built, and it turned out to be overwhelmed after a few years?"
"Luoyang City has a lot of materials to be transported to Xianyang City, but from Xianyang City to Luoyang, where are so many things to be transported?"
"Isn't this a blatant waste?"
Just when the long-awaited principals of the major merchants surrounded the personnel of the railway company and consulted about the reservation of train wagons and other related matters, a busy scene, several harsh voices suddenly sounded, making many people frown.
"Who is this, don't you think before you speak?"
"Let me see, it turned out to be the old stubbornness of Confucianism, why is the previous lesson not enough, and he ran out to provoke right and wrong again?"
"In my opinion, Your Majesty and Your Highness are too merciful to this group of people, and they should be arrested and imprisoned for this crime of bewitching the public. "
"There are not many materials to be shipped out of Xianyang City, and they are still alive ten years ago!"
"Not to mention the rest, just my Xianyang City Coal Chamber of Commerce, ten trains a day, it's not too much!"
"Come on, the coal thing is not valuable, it is a waste to occupy so many wagons, I still have to give me more points in the steel industry, this thing is now in urgent shortage everywhere, and dozens of them can be shipped out to better support the railway construction in other areas of Daqin." "
"Don't underestimate my clothing chamber of commerce, now in the warehouses of each family, the cotton cloth is about to pile up, just waiting for this train to be transported out and go to Persia to sell money by canal and sea!"
"In terms of value, which of you can compare to my Liuli Chamber of Commerce, why is it that we came first. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Hehe, you are all too strong, my little cement chamber of commerce is relatively low-key, just give me twenty trains a day. "
The big businessmen didn't bother to sarcastically mock these stubborn old masters, so they turned their heads and continued to surround the management of the railway company and reported their freight needs.
You know, for business, the sooner you ship out, the sooner you can get profits, complete the turnover, speed is more important than anything else.
In case you talk a few more words to this group of brainless guys and are preempted by others, I am afraid that you will become a laughing stock in the industry, and there will be no place to cry.
"Rest assured, although our Xianluo railway freight has just opened, we have made sufficient preparations. "[]
"The first batch of freight trains put into operation, there are 50 of them!"
"In the future, it will continue to increase according to demand, so please line up and register one by one. "
Chen Ping, who is also the head of the railway company, said with a smile.
Today's Daqin Railway Company, in the court, has also become a fragrant bait, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Engineering are all vying to put the railway company under their own jurisdiction, and in the end it is still Yingzheng to make a decision, directly under the jurisdiction of Shangshu Province, and Chen Ping personally presided over it, so that the two Shangshu are stupid.
"You must be bragging!"
"According to the figures you reported, the output of goods on this day will be close to 10,000 catties, and several mountains can be piled up on flat land if they are replaced with soil, how is this possible?"
"It must be all invited by the railway company, it's all fake!"
Several old Confucian masters were stunned for a moment.
"This group of people is completely out of touch with the times. "
"Explaining to them that it feels like a waste of words. "
"Let the facts speak for themselves!"
"Anyway, when the time comes, they will still lose it!"
"But to be honest, it's not just them, it's us, it's a little unbelievable. "
"I can only say that my Daqin is developing too fast!"
A few businessmen who finally grabbed the train looked at a few rotten people who were still dying with pity, and they were full of feelings.
