If it were a peaceful and prosperous era, the financial consortium of Mo Zhu Mountain could still maintain its existing trade routes, and the best direction for investment would naturally be the bustling and affluent Central Plains.
But now that chaos reigns and the Central Plains are inaccessible, investing in railways and developing the vast mountains is also in line with responding to the sect's call and preparing for the future.
Moreover, after giving it some thought, Li Fan believed it was feasible. Currently, Mo Zhu Mountain itself did not have the funds to develop railways. Joint ventures with Tiangong Peak and local financial groups could save manpower and financial resources, and to some extent, appease the local families who had recently lost a great deal of wealth due to strategic mishaps, deepening the strategic bond between the local families and the sect.
