Sanlizhuang, on the eastern outskirts of Beijing.

A large crowd of people gathered.

Lin Zian stood in the middle of the crowd and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, this land acquisition is for the railway construction team to build the railway, and it is also for the long-term development of our great country."

"His Majesty said that the people must not be treated unfairly when land is requisitioned!"

"We will compensate the villagers based on double the market price for each mu of land."

"Similarly, the house will be discounted accordingly, and double compensation will be given."

"Moreover, if the villagers are willing to continue farming, the government can organize them to go to Liaodong, Dongning and other places to distribute additional fertile land, houses and farm tools."

"Those who do not wish to continue farming can have priority to work and earn money in railway construction teams."

"Fellow villagers, we will not let you down!"

Lin Zian's voice rang out from the crowd.

Upon hearing Lin Zian's voice, cheers erupted from the crowd.

"Building a railway? We should support that!"

"Yes, and the compensation is so generous!"

"Double the price difference is enough for us to buy land to farm elsewhere!"

"That's right! Anyone who refuses to sell their land is a complete idiot!"

...

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

A large crowd of people crowded around the registration area, queuing up to register their information.

With such high compensation, the people did not object much.

After all, this is not just about cooperating with the government.

They also receive substantial compensation!

"I'll register first!"

A man in his thirties or forties raised his hand and shouted, "I'll register first!"

Upon arriving at the front of the line, the man quickly registered his family information, house, and land.

"The total compensation is 123 strings and 76 cash."

An accountant from a railway construction team counted the new banknotes and handed them to the man.

The man's face was filled with ecstasy as he clutched a thick wad of new banknotes, grinning broadly.

"One hundred and twenty-three strings of cash? That's a lot!"

"Old Liu, this much money is enough for your family to find a job in Beijing!"

"Old Liu, why bother farming? Let's just move to the city!"

"Yes, let's go into the city!"

The surrounding people looked on with envy and offered their advice.

"Hey, what are you doing in town?"

Old Liu waved his hand with a smile and said, "We've been farmers all our lives, working in the fields. We don't know what to do in the city. Let's stay here. When the railway construction team starts working, I'll find a job here first."

"That's okay too."

The villagers nodded in agreement.

The villagers in the line were registering their information one by one.

After receiving the compensation, everyone had a bright smile on their face.

With generous compensation and the government's prestige among the people, the land acquisition proceeded very smoothly.

In just a few days, the land acquisition in the Sanlizhuang area on the eastern outskirts of Beijing has been successfully completed.

September 26th.

The weather near the capital is getting colder and colder.

On this day, the railway construction team arrived at Sanlizhuang.

The workers also moved into the vast open field.

In the future, this place will become a large construction site.

In the morning, Qiao Juncheng and the others arrived.

A huge plaque was erected in front of an office area.

The plaque prominently displays the words:

Construction site of Beijing East Railway Station project!

According to the previous plan, Beijing East Railway Station was built in the core area of ​​Sanlizhuang.

Eight railway tracks run through Sanlizhuang and extend eastward to Tongzhou, Jinghai and other places.

Heading west, it passes through the outer city of the capital and extends towards Lotus Pond.

To the south of Beijing East Railway Station lies a vast area comprised of warehouses and shops. Adjacent to the east is a large shopping mall area.

A park has been built along the Tonghui River, north of Beijing East Railway Station.

Adjacent to the north of the park is a new residential area.

The residential area near Beijing East Railway Station was not built according to the one-household-one-courtyard model of Dongning, but instead consisted of six-story buildings.

Each floor is divided into four apartments. Each apartment has three bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen.

This new type of residential area was based on designs from later periods.

Near the residential area, there are parks and shops, and primary and secondary schools will also be built.

The supporting facilities are extremely complete.

This area will also become the most luxurious residential area around Beijing East Railway Station in the future.

Once the planning for the Beijing East Railway Station area was finalized, all construction projects commenced.

Meanwhile, land acquisition for railway construction teams was also underway in the Lianhuachi area on the western outskirts of Beijing.

The Beijing West Railway Station will be built in the western suburbs of Beijing.

The facilities are the same as those at Beijing East Railway Station, with complete supporting facilities such as warehouses, shops, restaurants, and inns.

Lin Zi'an was in charge of the land acquisition work.

In addition to Beijing East Railway Station and Beijing West Railway Station, the land acquisition work for the railway connecting lines outside Beijing has also been completed.

Although the shops, warehouses and other areas have not yet been built.

However, the railway line was given priority for construction.

The railway line from Beijing West Station to Beijing East Station, extending to Tongzhou and Jinghai, and then turning north towards Yuguan and Liaodong, has already had its route and roadbed determined.

Although the route was extremely long, the railway lines near the capital were built particularly quickly.

After the railway construction team invested a lot of manpower and resources, by the end of the year, the railway lines for Beijing West Station, Beijing East Station, and Jinghai Station had been laid.
