Such a situation was simply fatal to the people living in the Qin Dynasty.
It is precisely because of such a situation that the Great Wall is called a phenomenon of tyranny, which is one of the many reasons why Qin II died.
If such a powerful Qin Dynasty could perish, wouldn't the Han Dynasty be more dangerous?
In fact, such a situation will not happen.
If the powerful Qin Dynasty was not due to various reasons of its own, it would be impossible for this powerful Qin Dynasty to fall, and it might still be ruled by the Qin Dynasty in later generations.
But because of his own choices and other reasons, the mighty Qin Dynasty played badly with a good hand, and left behind the title of tyrant and tyranny.
Because he knew this well, it was impossible for him, Cao Ang, to let such a thing happen.
As for the construction of the railway, Cao Ang really wanted to proceed, because no matter how you look at it, it is a situation that kills two birds with one stone.
Not only can it solve the problem of excessive labor force, but it can also solve the problem of railway track laying when solving the problem of excessive labor force, laying the foundation for the creation of trains in the future.
Of course, the reason why this plan can be implemented has a lot to do with Cao Ang's finances.
If you want to hire these laborers, what you need is food and that money.
Although these people will not endure starvation now, most of the food is still in the hands of Cao Ang. If they want to live, they still need to earn food.
In addition, the survival of these people is not like that of later generations. They need so many requirements, and they are very easy to meet.
As long as you give them food, money, and food, they won't complain.
If it was like the corvée of the Qin Dynasty, then the common people would feel oppressed.
Faced with such a situation, they would be very grateful to Dade if they could stutter.
Taking this situation into consideration, it should be very easy to carry out the work.
Before that, Cao Ang calculated a very simple math problem, which was about the laying of the [-]-mile railway.
According to Cao Ang's survey, the labor force on both sides of the Yellow River can gather about 50 million people. If such a population is all invested in the construction of the railway, it will be a very large number.
Based on a population of 50, it takes 1 people a day to lay one kilometer of railroad track. In this case, 50 people a day is [-] kilometers.
If a railway of [-] miles is built, it will take a thousand days, and this thousand days is more than three years.
The construction of a [-]-mile railway at such a speed is considered very fast in this dynasty.
In Cao Ang's thinking, he planned to build a railway track from Xudu to Luoyang first, so that the contact with Luoyang would be much faster.
Xuchang is only a few hundred kilometers away from Luoyang. According to the current speed of [-] kilometers a day, it can be repaired in a few days.
In this way, all the important cities around Xudu were built with railways, so that they have enough control over every place.
Simply good and couldn't be better.
However, such an idea is only an idealized value. For the real effect, it still needs to be viewed from the actual point of view.
What needs to be solved now is how to allocate the 50 labor force. Among them, the grouping, how to arrange each group, and how to choose the leader are all things that need to be worried about.
Not only do you need to worry about it, Qi itself is a very difficult project.
It is naturally impossible for Cao Ang to do it himself, because he still has more important things to do.
Therefore, in Cao Ang's heart, he wanted to find someone who was very good at management and arrangements.
This is a more important point.
There is also the demand for coal and the demand for iron.
Although there are already two of them now, if you really plan to develop steam cars and trains, then there will definitely be a lot of demand for these two.
The railway track needs to be built for hundreds of thousands of miles, so naturally the iron needed will not be less, and there is also the demand for coal.
If you want steam cars and trains to run day and night without stopping, what you need is coal, and you need a lot of coal. The daily demand will be calculated in tons!
It is precisely because of this problem that Cao Ang feels that if this matter is really going to go on, there are still certain difficulties.
Although Cao Wei's coal and iron production is already very outstanding and has increased by a little bit, the current reserves are simply unusable.
If you don't want to delay the process, then the production of coal and iron needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for him, Cao Ang, to be alone, so he needs more people to help him.
Cao Cao on the side also attached great importance to this matter at this time. After all, this is his son's project, coupled with his curiosity about the magical item of the train, Cao Cao's heart is very supportive of Cao Ang's plan.

Chapter 385 Cao Cao's Thoughts
"Zixiu has always been rigorous in doing things. This kind of thing is very beneficial to us. Once it is realized, it will be a world-shaking change!"
"Besides, my father trusts Zixiu very much, and even more so, this plan can definitely be realized!"
Cao Cao thought of something on the sidelines, and then said such words in front of everyone.
Cao Ang felt very relieved when he heard this.
In fact, you don't need to earn the approval of anyone to do things by yourself, let alone tell them so much.
Regarding Cao Cao, Cao Ang was still very eager to support himself.
Now it seems that Cao Cao is still very supportive of Cao Ang's career, and such support is what he needs most at present.
After Cao Cao finished speaking, everyone present also showed joyful expressions.
"That's right, the train that Mr. Zixiu said must be more complete, there is no doubt about such a thing!"
"Master Zixiu is young and promising, he is sure to succeed!"
"The ministers are incompetent, and I am willing to do my best!"
"..."
After Cao Cao uttered his words, all the people present spoke one after another, expressing what was in their hearts.
Whether this situation is true or not, anyway, this group of people has verbally settled on this matter now.
After Cao Cao heard what everyone said, his expression became more joyful, and he was even more excited about this situation.
I saw that Cao Cao then patted his thigh, and then said to Cao Ang in front of him: "Zixiu, I have thought about this matter, if you want to complete the construction of this [-]-mile railway, you must have someone who is good at Management talents can help, and only in this way can this thing be done!"
When Cao Ang heard the words, he nodded in agreement in his heart. What Cao Ang needs now is such a talent, but he is still struggling with who it is.
