I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

The world has only started the process of industrialization in the past 20 years. Although the output of steel has skyrocketed year by year, it is still extremely difficult to meet the expansion of rails. Xu Wei himself does not know enough about the steel consumed by rails. It looks inconspicuous when laid on the ground, but hundreds of thousands of catties of steel are consumed for one mile, and the output of half a blast furnace is gone.

This is still a government-run iron and steel factory. If it is like Puyuan’s privately owned small blast furnace, hundreds of companies may not be able to meet the consumption of a mile of rail. The time when the country built a large number of rails was during the second industrial revolution. It is really difficult to support the consumption of steel on the rails only by the steel output of the first industrial revolution!
In the past three years of Dagan, Xu Wei concentrated the entire steel production of Dagan, but he barely built more than 3000 miles of railways, connecting Zhuo County, Quanzhou County and Guangning County.

However, the railway tracks cannot be expanded on a large scale, and no matter how many steam trains are built, they are useless waste.Therefore, the current production of steel has become a shortcoming that restricts the development of Daqian industry.

And Zhuge Liang has been inspecting the steel factories around Jidu during this time, thinking about how to increase steel production to solve the problem of insufficient rails!
And when Zhuge Liang was checking books related to the steel plant in the library, the surroundings of the library suddenly became extremely noisy.

Many students were beating gongs and drums, making noise everywhere. He even heard the sound of firecrackers, dense and endless, like a festival, especially since he had heard a lot of firecrackers, which were all set off in the school.

You must know that there are many books in the school, so it is strictly forbidden to set off fireworks and firecrackers. Now many students in the whole school are violating this regulation.

He could only co-author the book with a wry smile and said: "This group of apprentices are too lively!"

He walked out of the library, and at this moment he saw the lively scene of Pang Tong and many people holding fireworks.

Seeing Zhuge Liang coming out, he ran to him in surprise and said: "Kong Ming, the general led an army of 5 to defeat the 10 Tianzhu coalition army. Now the entire southern part of Tianzhu is like a bag for the general. You just need to reach out and touch it." Occupy. You must know that the entire southern Tianzhu is also a country with a radius of several thousand miles, and the population exceeds ten million. If Xuande Gong occupies this vast area, building a big man will no longer be a slogan!"

Xu Shu said with a smile: "The merchants in Daqian are crazy now. They are desperately buying and renting sea ships, and then buying military weapons such as food ordnance and steel armor. They want to transport them to Tianzhu to make a fortune. Now the whole Ji It's all buzzing!"

Yes, Liu Bei's victory made the merchants in the entire capital of Ji very excited. A few years ago, a small country with tens of thousands of people could collect billions in property. It is said that there are tens of millions of people, and there are as many as a dozen countries.

If these countries are all occupied by Liu Bei, with Liu Bei's original means, how can he collect tens of billions of wealth? Faced with such a huge wealth, it is no wonder that these businessmen can bear it, and now they are all running away. Send supplies to Liu Bei.

Even these big-time merchants seem to have awakened some kind of talent, because they found that when they did business with Tianzhu, the annual transaction volume was only a few hundred million yuan, and the income was even less. In an instant, it has increased by tens or hundreds of times, and they found that fighting is the best way to expand the market!

Zhuge Liang said unhappily: "It's okay for businessmen to be excited. After all, they have seen tens of billions of wealth, but what does this have to do with you? Don't tell me you want to do business too!"

Pang Tong laughed and said, "I see hope, Kong Ming, I don't want to stay in Jidu any longer, I'm going to Tianzhu, only Tianzhu can display my abilities, I'm going to seek refuge with the General!"

Zhuge Liang was surprised and said: "Shiyuan, you are crazy! You will be able to graduate in one and a half years, and now you seem to be leaving. The two and a half years of study will be in vain!"

You must know that after they were admitted to the University of Mechanical Engineering, Xu Weixiang, as the principal, kept these students. After they finished their studies, they could become middle-level skilled workers in major government-run factories.

It can be said that one foot has already entered the Dagan system. You must know that in Dagan, in addition to the imperial examinations and joining the army, you can enter the political career. Enter Dagan's officialdom.

The one who has gone the furthest along this road is Xu Juan. She has now become a senior official at the ministerial level, and there are about 3% of the prefects in the officialdom of Dagan, who were promoted by the factory directors of Dagan!

So to a certain extent, the University of Mechanical Engineering can even be said to be a big-time Taixue, they are Taixue students, and the future is bright after they complete their studies!
Pang Tong said indifferently: "What I should learn, I have almost learned it, and staying in school is just for a job after graduation, but I don't want to go to a steel factory or a machinery factory to become a technician, let alone wait for a job. What a slim chance to step into the officialdom of Daqian through this way. Only a battlefield like Tianzhu can give full play to my ability to govern the country and stabilize the country, so I will go to the general. There is no way out for people like us in Dagan! "

Unlike Zhuge Liang who is very interested in machinery, although Pang Tong is good at learning, dealing with machinery is not what he likes to do. Therefore, although Pang Tong is also an excellent student in the University of Mechanical Engineering, but because of his different attitude, he is not as good at learning as Zhuge Liang. And Pang Tong didn't think that his group of students could follow this path.

After all, Lei Gong's malice towards them is naked. Even if they enter the officialdom, they will set up a ceiling like they did to prevent the poor from entering the officialdom. Pang Tong doesn't know whether the ceiling is the county magistrate or the 2000 shi prefect.So he didn't want to continue doing things he didn't like to do, Tianzhu was the place he should go.

Zhuge Liang's expression was gloomy, and Pang Tong's words hit a thorn in his heart. Although he likes to study machinery, his real ambition is to become a prime minister who governs the country and the country. When he was in Jingzhou, he often compared himself to Guan Zhongle Yi, but he has no chance to become Guan Zhongleyi in Daqian. He understands that he can only become Mozi at most. The limit is already the limit for a school of thought like Luban. pace!

Zhuge Liang said helplessly: "So, you all plan to seek refuge with Duke Xuande?"
