I want to ruin the country

Donations from all walks of life will be accepted for the construction of the school, and educational bonds will be issued for a period of three years.

The people were excited. Who doesn’t want their children to be able to read and write? It’s a dream that has been passed down for many lifetimes!

Why do the scholars act so arrogantly in the village? It’s because there are only a few people in the village who can read!

Every time I receive a letter from someone else, I have to ask them to read it. I also bother them to write a letter. How can I not respect them?

Therefore, building a school in the village basically does not require any labor costs, and the local people can just volunteer to build the school!

Although some schools nowadays are built very simply, with adobe houses and earthen platforms, as long as there is a teacher to teach and it does not affect learning to read, that’s all that’s fine!

Children in rural areas are particularly hard-working. They are not afraid of the heat in summer or the cold in winter. As long as they are not hungry, they can study hard.

First solve the problem of whether or not, then solve the problem of conditions.

The people's food problem has been basically solved. In the future, the focus in rural areas will be to vigorously develop water conservancy to ensure stable harvests regardless of drought or flood.

We must also speed up the construction of fertilizer plants. Only by significantly increasing grain production can we completely solve the problem of hunger among the people.

But making fertilizer is not that simple. Even in 2023, there are fertilizer plants everywhere in China, but many countries still cannot build them!

Various agricultural machinery must also be built to liberate farmers from heavy farm work.

It took the later republic fifty years to achieve this!

Oh, I don’t dare to think about it. There are too many things to do. Let’s deal with them one by one!

Liu Yuzhou and Deng Jiuping, who were sent out to look for oil, did not disappoint Yining.

They have found an oil well in Lijin County that is very easy to exploit and it is now producing oil.

This time, Yining brought back data on oil refining technology, and I believe that various types of oil such as diesel, gasoline, and lubricating oil will be available soon.

The asphalt residue after oil refining can also be used to pave roads. Asphalt roads have many advantages over cement roads!

In later generations, Yining never paid attention to the road under his feet as he drove on the flat road every day.

But now his desire for a flat road has reached a perverted level.

Why doesn't he ever ride in a carriage when he goes out? It squeaks and makes people so annoyed.

Walking more than ten miles in an hour can wear you out, and the bumpy road conditions can make you shake to death.

Although riding a horse may rub your butt, at least it is much faster!

Du Han and Shen Baozhen have been busy these days, and the construction of Tianjin’s first shipyard has officially started.

Subsequently, four large shipyards in Dalian, Songjiang (Shanghai), Fuzhou and Wuhan will also start construction.

No matter whether it is a shipyard or an arsenal, steel is indispensable.

So the next step is to vigorously develop the steel industry.

With enough steel, the construction of giant ships is guaranteed.

I wonder if Yi Xin and Li Hongzhang can bring back some useful talents from Europe. With talents, we have everything!

I don't know where these two guys are now? Is the road safe?

There is another important factor that is restricting economic development now, and that is roads.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Without roads, your legs will be short, and short legs will mean low efficiency.

As I walked, I thought of the highway, and suddenly wanted to go to the construction site of the Beijing-Tianjin Highway to take a look!

"Iranian nuclear peace, Iranian construction, follow me!"

When we arrived at the construction site of the Beijing-Tianjin Highway, we were amazed by the sight. There were huge crowds of people on the site.

This highway is more than 150 kilometers long. It was originally planned to be built as an ordinary highway, but the standards of the highway were later built higher and higher.

The reason is that Yining is not short of money now, so the design plan has been revised again and again.

Now it has become the highest grade highway that can accommodate heavy tanks and other motor vehicles.

He demanded that the service life of the highway should not be less than 2000 years, that is, it should not break down before the year .

The original plan was to pave the road with cement, but now that oil extraction is progressing rapidly, Yining changed his mind.

Compared with cement roads, asphalt roads have many advantages except for the high cost.

Currently, Yining has no shortage of money and is confident and capable of raising more money from all over the world.

When building a road, we should do it all at once. Don’t do it like in later generations, where they build it today and it breaks down tomorrow. The money they spend repeatedly in that way will end up being much more than what we spend now!

So now the Beijing-Tianjin Highway has become a first-class highway from the third-class highway at the beginning of its design.

The cost of upgrading a third-level highway to a first-level highway suddenly increased, reaching 100,000 taels of silver per kilometer.

It would cost 1.6 million taels of silver to build more than 150 kilometers.

But Yining didn't even blink. One or two million silvers were nothing to him now!

The money that the Iraqi defense department gave him from robbing temples recently could be used to build two to three thousand kilometers of such roads.

In addition to this highway, highways from Tianjin Port to Cangzhou, Dezhou, Jinan, Xuzhou, Nanjing and Shanghai will also be started soon!

Yining calls it the Beijing-Shanghai Highway!

The Beijing-Shanghai Highway starts from the Beijing-Tianjin Highway in Tianjin, with a total length of 1270 kilometers and a total construction cost of 1270 million taels of silver.

Although it cost more than 10 million silver coins, the huge benefits it brought were obvious.

Take migrant workers for example, how many people can benefit from it!

The reason why the construction of the Beijing-Tianjin Highway was so fast was because of the use of human wave tactics, and fortunately there is plenty of labor now.

More than 450,000 migrant workers were mobilized on the construction site, which is more than 150 kilometers from the capital to the port, with an average of 3,000 workers per kilometer.

There is no way. Transportation is too backward now. Just transporting soil, gravel, lime and cement takes a lot of labor.

After the materials arrive at the construction site, they need to be mixed with lime, water, cement, leveled, compacted, etc., over and over again, which is very troublesome.

The construction site is always crowded with people. If it weren't for hundreds of thousands of people working tirelessly, it would take an indefinite amount of time to complete this road.

The benefit of the human wave tactic is not only that it shortens the construction period, but also that the hundreds of thousands of migrant workers who participate in the labor have a fixed income during the road construction period.

Normally, there is enough steamed bread and pickles on the construction site, but every four or five days, people want to improve their lives, either with steamed buns, stewed meat, or dumplings.

The wages are paid every day, and they can take home more than ten dollars every day, so the whole family can have enough food and drink!

In fact, the biggest expense in road construction is labor costs, because apart from cement, other earth and gravel are free of charge, only labor costs are charged.

Asphalt is also the residue left after petroleum coking, and it does not cost any money except for shipping!

The main sections of the highway are almost completed, and what we need to wait for now is the construction of bridges along the road.

The Chinese have never lacked wisdom, what they lack is time and money.

Yining provided them with a large number of design drawings of modern bridges.

Peng Yunzhang gathered all the bridge experts he could find to figure out these drawings.
