Valley Emperor - v2 Chapter 2199

In the imperial study meeting, many ministers of the empire put forward a lot of opinions on the national road network plan, and finally reached a consensus.

The national road network will be an important supplement to the railway network and should be included in national planning and financial support.

The transportation network of the empire relies on railways, rivers and sea transportation. Together, these three constitute the main artery for the transportation of personnel and materials in the empire.

As for the car, in fact, it has the same function as the previous horse-drawn carriage. As a short-distance land transportation tool, it is more used in cities and suburbs. In addition, it is used as the main means of transportation in some inland areas without railways and rivers.

However, with the further development of the automobile industry, at the same time, several major oil companies in the empire have been under policy pressure, and they have continuously lowered oil prices, and the price of civilian gasoline has continued to decline. As a mid-way transportation, or even a long-distance transportation force in some specific areas.

Based on this, the upper echelons of the empire decided to comprehensively upgrade the national network of official roads to ensure that cars can pass through the official roads and go to any county in the empire.

The official road network of the Datang Empire is very complex and huge. When the empire was first built, it expanded and renovated the official roads nationwide on the basis of the official road network of the former Ming Dynasty to ensure that the official roads could pass standard carriages. And require the official road to lead to each county.

Therefore, every county in the empire today is connected by official roads.

However, these official roads are generally small and the road conditions are poor. The ability to pass horses and carriages does not mean that cars can pass, let alone large freight trucks. Even if they can pass, the poor road conditions will cause the cars to drive slowly, and the bumps will lead to maintenance costs. Higher series of negative effects.

But now, the top of the empire has decided to change this situation!

According to the national highway network plan finalized by the top officials of the empire, the national official roads will be upgraded to ensure that any section of the official road can pass through trucks and connect to every county.

On this basis, different regions should upgrade the official roads to different grades of roads according to their own different conditions. For example, if you have money, you can build high-grade asphalt roads or cement roads, and generally you can build limestone roads if you have money. The mixed road with soil and residual oil, in poorer places, you can build a gravel road mixed with gravel and clay, but it is not possible, you can also build a dirt road

In short, let each place choose a different construction plan according to its own situation.

This is also an objective limitation. After all, the national road network is so huge that it is impossible to say that all asphalt roads or cement roads are built, so there is simply not so much capital.

Even if it has been determined that the multi-level financial co-financing has been determined, the local county will contribute part, the state government will contribute part, the provincial road will contribute part, and then the Gyeonggi finance will contribute another part, but the financial pressure is still very great, not only the locality, but also the Gyeonggi financial pressure is even greater.

Therefore, the plan in the early stage is that the local government will pay most of the money for road construction, and Gyeonggi will pay the small part. It is best for the local government to pay all the money to repair the road.

Therefore, the Ministry of Communications will not mandate any hardening of the road surface, but let each locality determine it according to its own situation.

If you have money, build a bit of asphalt road or cement road first. If you don’t have money, build a dirt road that is barely open to traffic. These are all possible.

In addition, high toll roads can also be built in some specific areas to alleviate the huge capital required for road construction.

However, opening the county to traffic is the core requirement of the national road network plan!

The national highway network plan undertaken by the upper echelons of the empire this time has the spirit of the great railway construction of that year.

When it was engaged in railway construction back then, the empire also gritted its teeth and made a huge determination, regardless of whether it was rich or not, it was repaired, and then there was a national railway network.

Today’s Datang Empire’s railway network exceeds 400,000 kilometers, covering all the territories of the global empire!

Among them, the first trunk line of the East-West Railway, which starts from Shanghai in the east and reaches the Strait of Gibraltar in the west, has a total mileage of more than 10,000 kilometers.

In addition, there are a number of railway trunk lines, all of which are thousands of kilometers long. For example, the coastal trunk lines in the eastern Central Plains start from Heilongjiang in the north and reach Malacca in the south. There are also the most important railway lines that go south from Central Asia and enter the Indian peninsula. Indian Railways at the southern end.

There is also the West Asian Railway from Central Asia to the West Asian region, and then all the way to the Mediterranean coast, connecting the Suez Canal.

Then there is the East-West Railway in the Americas!

There are as many as a dozen similar railway lines alone!

Surrounding these main line railways, there are also countless branch line railways, especially in the Central Plains in the east, the railway network is even denser.

In this way, the railway construction of the empire has not stopped. Four years ago, the construction of the imperial railway reached its peak. The completed railway mileage reached more than 30,000 kilometers.

Even if it is a little less now, more than 10,000 kilometers are added every year.

It is precisely because when the empire was engaged in railways, it almost spared no expense to bite the bullet.

Now the empire plans to develop a national road network of official roads.

There is no need to impose road grades. First solve the problem of opening to traffic, and then talk about the problem of improving roads.

Even in this road network plan, there is nothing like a national trunk road network, but simply widening and upgrading the original official roads in various places.

Therefore, in the national highway network plan, the overall requirements are not high, as long as the county can be opened to traffic.

But this kind of low-grade road is fine for ordinary places, and it is more suitable.

But for some affluent areas with huge demand for road transport, it is obviously not enough.

For example, in the Sidao area of ​​Zhili, this place is rich and has a large demand for land transportation. Now the official roads in the Sidao area of ​​Zhili are basically gravel roads that can pass cars, and a small part of the roads are cement or asphalt roads. .

Although most of the official roads in the Sidao area of ​​Zhili are still sunny in sunny days and muddy in rainy days, no matter what, they are all passable for cars, and they are even considered to be in good road conditions.

This has already met the requirements of the road network proposed by the Ministry of Transportation of Gyeonggi.

If the road network construction plan is to continue to be promoted in this place, then the road surface must be hardened!

But in fact, the Gyeonggi Ministry of Transport did not need to come forward for this matter. They have already begun to act. Jiangnan Road and South Anhui Province have their own road network planning. Reduce the slope, and finally pave the residual oil to form a road with a gravel roadbed and a residual oil road.

Although the grade of this hardened pavement is not as good as the high-grade asphalt and gravel roads along the river in Songjiang Prefecture, it is quite good for long-distance roads of this era.

In other words, whether it is Jiangnan Road, Wannan Road, or Chengtianfu where Gyeonggi is located, they can handle it themselves without the need for any road network plan promoted by the Ministry of Communications.

But the problem is that even so, these ordinary road networks are difficult to meet the needs of future car transportation.

Those hardened roads were built to connect the counties and towns along the way, and the slopes were large. Even if Jiangnan Road lays hardened roads from Shanghai to Jinling City in the future, if you want to drive from Jinling City to Shanghai, I am afraid it will not be possible. A few days will not arrive, and I even fainted while running.

Moreover, the Sidao area of ​​Zhili, especially the area south of the Yangtze River, Jiangnan Road, Chengtianfu, and South Anhui Road, has a developed economy, affluent people, and a large number of cars. It is also the area with the fastest development of automobile transportation.

Moreover, the local car ownership continues to rise sharply, and at the same time, car transportation will become the main tool for local short- and medium-distance land transportation, which makes local officials in Gangnam Province very worried, because the existing road network plan, even if it is carried out. After the road surface is hardened, it may be difficult to meet the needs of five or ten years later.

They have an urgent need for a better highway system!

Especially the arterial roads that directly link the surrounding cities.

In this case, Jiangnan Road, Wannan Road, and Zhejiang Province jointly submitted an application for the construction of a super highway around Taihu Lake.

The Ministry of Communications saw it, it’s a good thing, it was approved directly, but the Ministry of Communications of the Empire did not plan to give money, you have to fix it yourself to solve the funding problem!

This made the local officials of the three places mentioned above in a rage!

Why are there subsidies from Gyeonggi for road construction in other places, but not when we build a road?

The officials of the Ministry of Communications are too lazy to pay attention to them. The project funds of the national highway network plan are not aimed at wealthy places like Zhili Sidao, but those underdeveloped areas, especially the inland areas without trains and rivers. The purpose is to preliminarily solve the problem of opening to traffic in areas with difficult traffic, not to build ultra-high-standard arterial roads for wealthy areas

I have the money to fix it myself

Gyeonggi didn’t give money, so two provinces, one province and one government, and they had an internal fallout first!

For example, Jiangnan Road doesn’t care whether the road connecting Hangzhou to Wuhu is repaired or not. They only care about the road from Wuhu to Shanghai, and at most one road from Shanghai to Hangzhou is added.

On the Hangzhou side, people don’t care about the consolidation of the Shanghai-Wuhu area. They only need the highway from Hangzhou to Shanghai and from Hangzhou to Jinling.

In short, each place has its own plans, and in the end it is natural to fall out!

After the fallout, the local tyrant Jiangnan Dao was very upset and ignored the poor brothers, so he planned to do it himself!

As a result, the plan of the Jiangnan trunk road from Shanghai to Zhenjiang was started!

I looked at Chengtian Mansion, okay, I will also build a trunk road inside Chengtian Mansion, and the other Lao Tzus don’t care.

I took a look at the South Anhui Road~www.mtlnovel.com~ and then calculated the funds in my hand. Finally, I gritted my teeth and prepared to build a trunk road in South Anhui, which would connect Wuhu to Chengtianfu in the east.

Since then, each of them will build their own, and this trunk road from Shanghai to Wuhu has appeared.

But looking at Hangzhou in the south, oh my god, you guys are not authentic at all, why did you leave me behind?

In the end, I went back to Chengtianfu, South Anhui Road, and Jiangnan Road. I tried to build a trunk road from Shanghai to Hangzhou, and then a trunk road from Hangzhou to Jinling City or Wuhu. For funding issues, they were responsible for the roads within their own borders. Just connect.

Then a trunk road in northern Zhejiang also appeared.

In the end, two months after the four companies broke down on the plan of the main road around the Taihu Lake, after the main railways built by the four regions were connected, a new main road around the Taihu Lake appeared.

This situation makes the surrounding people who eat melons watch their eggs in pain.
