In one year, Zhao Xin's status has undergone tremendous changes, from the original, a prince in distress, to the privy envoy of the Dinghai Navy, to now, he controls a huge city, and the entire Northern Song Dynasty is regarded as a huge city.

Zhao Xin's attitude determined the fate of 1.2 million people in the Dinghai Navy, and even indirectly affected more.

The industrial output of the Dinghai Navy is very terrible, radiating more than half of the Northern Song Dynasty, relying on the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, radiating the entire Northern Song Dynasty, most of the key cities.

The number of businessmen who rely solely on the Dinghai Navy exceeds 100,000, of which the various populations radiated are at least 10 million.

This is the benefit of rights, when traveling, he doesn't have to wait, just settle down in advance, 100 ships, except for 20, are loaded with gifts for Renzong and the concubine, but the rest are all goods sent to Bianliang.

Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty has a population of more than one million, with Bianliang as the center and radiating the huge territory of Sijing, the population accounts for about one-twentieth of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and it is also the most elite and the most consumed people.

In terms of commerce, the entire Bianliang is one of the most important cities in terms of commerce.

Of course, Zhao Xin will not let go of this city, maybe elsewhere, he will be blocked by some resistance, in Bianliang, with Renzong as the backing, as long as Zhao Xin does not act nonsense and operates according to normal business practices, there will be no problems.

Up to now, Bianliang has 14 large shops of more than 5,000 square meters, as well as a large number of small shops, which are responsible for the sales of the entire Dinghai Navy, and have become more and more integrated into the entire Bianliang.

Dingjun, perhaps in the upper political situation, does not have much influence, but in the middle and low-level, especially in the commercial market, has occupied an increasingly important role, Dingjun's commodities have been slowly integrated into the entire ordinary life of Bianliang.

Zhao Xin they are still riding horses, more than half a year, let Zhao Xin grow a lot, although the card system has not been upgraded, but subtle changes, especially those auxin and the like, through time, slowly play out, now Zhao Xin, it seems, is already a heroic teenager, looks more than 10 years old, but Zhao Xin is only more than 5 years old, less than 6 years old.

In fact, in a more robust body, it has the power of explosion, where did Sun Ji learn the breathing method, with some exercise methods such as yoga, of course, it is the genetic medicine that plays a decisive role, these methods only promote the better play of the genetic medicine.

Now Zhao Xin can already open the 3-stone strong bow, whether it is the strength of the body or the flexibility, it has surpassed the elite soldiers in the forbidden army, and even in the fighting, he has the power of self-preservation.

Now Zhao Xin, I can't see the immaturity of more than a year ago, the growth of taller, a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, in ancient times, has already had an adult situation, generally twelve or thirteen-year-old children, in the Northern Song Dynasty, have married, especially in the small landlord families in the countryside, can not study, so it is normal to get married in advance and pass on the ancestry.

In addition to the changes in his figure, Zhao Xin's temperament is even more so, he is a traverser in the 21st century, in the body of a four or five-year-old child, stationed in a thirty or forty-year-old soul, not to mention in just 2 years, from a down-and-out prince to a high-powered festival envoy.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the reason why the Jiedu envoy was set up was to make the real side, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jiedu envoy was very small, and few spanned one state, or even several states, which was to avoid the consequences of the Anshi Rebellion.

However, among the established festival envoys, the power is very large, and the privileges of both military and political affairs.

The border military states of the Northern Song Dynasty often have to bear heavier military tasks, the military is the focus, and the government affairs are relaxed, but the Dinghai Navy does the opposite, and more development is the economy, rather than the military, but even so, everything in the entire Dinghai Navy is decided by Zhao Xin, except for not sealing the king and establishing the country, there is no difference from the country within the country.

All the way galloping, Zhao Xin on the road, but also looked at those railway projects, after the accumulation of the Dinghai Navy, the railway construction team of the Dinghai Navy, has accumulated enough experience, the construction speed of the railway is getting faster and faster, now, almost completed more than 6 percent of the amount of work, it is expected that after the New Year, to May and June next year, a railway from Haizhou to Suqian, will be completed.

This is the first super long railway of the Dinghai Navy, even if it is only 300 miles, but it involves a lot of things, land acquisition, bridge construction, various traffic openings, some designs along the line and many other aspects, but also thanks to Zhao Xin, for the later generations of railways, there is some understanding, so there is no way to find that the problem is changing, but to arrange it in place.

This is a fully enclosed railway, and a large number of barbed wire fences will be arranged around it, and at the same time, a systematic publicity process will be carried out to make the surrounding villagers realize the harm of crossing the railway.

At the same time, under the premise that the railway intersects with the surroundings, there will be a passage almost every three or four miles, unless it is necessary, not many people will venture across the railway in order to take a shortcut, climb over these hard-to-climb barbed wire.

Railways, it can be said unceremoniously, even the simplest horse-drawn railways, are enough to change the traffic situation of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and the traffic can not only change the military foundation of the Northern Song Dynasty.

More convenient transportation can allow a large number of forces to be concentrated together and play a better role.

At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty, which was strong and weak, could play an active role, and on the premise of going to any border by railway, it would only take three or four days, and the troops stationed on the frontier could be further reduced, so that the cost would be less.

This time, the railway is also the ultimate goal among Zhao Xin's many goals, carrying 5 ships of Dinghai coins, with a total amount of more than 7.5 million, and it is also for this purpose, how much money does the three divisions have, Zhao Xin basically has almost mastered it, because of the balance in the northwest and the signing of the Lingzhou Peace Conference, he can have a balance of 5 million to 6 million.

It's hard to say how much of this part of the balance can be left, the huge empire is not perfect in all aspects, and the arbitrariness is quite strong, and the government below has been thirsty for so long, accumulating over time, and there are many problems concentrated together, before the government had no money, there are too many places worth spending money, even if you apply, you may not be able to get it, and now, there is finally a balance, even if you give it a try, you will apply.

These problems, whether they are big or small, are not small, but if they are not solved, they are prone to problems, so that even if Ye Qingchen is stuck, at least half of the funds will be spent.

If you add the water conservancy construction of northern farmland that lasts for a long time, even if Ye Qingchen is ruthless, it is impossible to completely solve the problem, and the necessary expenses also need to be made.

The current construction cost of the railway is not high, the key is the cost of the ironworks, the direct construction of the rails, on average, compared with before, the savings are too much, the current calculation, per kilometer, may be about 2000, and a fortress is about the same.

If the double line is built, 1000 miles, about 2 million, this money is very huge, of course, the Northern Song Dynasty can not only a thousand miles of railway, tens of thousands of kilometers, or even more, can be built, in this case, the investment will be very terrible.

Zhao Xin was not worried that the railway would lose money, and even the simplest railway in the Qing Dynasty could create terrible benefits, becoming one of the few high-profit projects in the entire Qing Dynasty, setting off an investment frenzy.

The commercial performance of the Northern Song Dynasty is far higher than that of the Qing Dynasty, the population is not low, and there is also the existence of the Ding Navy, as long as the trunk railway is built, it will definitely not suffer.

But there will be start-up funds, and it will have to win the consent from top to bottom, of course Zhao Xin is willing to take it all himself, but this is a bit abrupt, and the best thing is a cooperative situation.

If it was set off half a year ago, it might have been a little hasty, Zhao Xin was just persuaded on the basis of the Lingzhou peace talks, but now, in half a year, even if Zhao Xin focused on coordinating the navy, he did not let go of this railway, even if he did not open the plan, the preliminary investigation and research were still opened.

Now, in Zhao Xin's hands, there is a Bianliang as the center, the construction of 7 railways, 4 of these railways are through Bianliang, almost forming a rice-shaped cross structure, the other 3, is the peripheral railway, these together, form a ring structure, mainly in the process of the entire water system, once again connected.

After a long time, Zhao Xin made it more detailed, not only recording the entire geology and the difficulty of construction, but also making the planning funds for the entire railway.

Funding is only one aspect, the bigger is the commercial aspect, all the plans of later generations must take into account the commercial performance, the connection of a railway, the role of the military, may not be able to attract attention, but the commercial aspect, is essential.

From the aspects of cities, resources, commodities and many other aspects along the way, when these are delivered to the right places through the vigorous transportation of railways, the effect generated will make the commerce of the Northern Song Dynasty go to a higher level again.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhao Xin is full of confidence, because the materials and other things arrived in advance, so Zhao Xin and they rode very fast, and in less than half a day, they crossed the distance of 300 miles from Haizhou to Suqian.

When they arrived in Suqian, it was just noon, there was no rest, when Zhao Xin and others got on the ship, a huge fleet of 100 ships had already been prepared, and after Zhao Xin and them arrived, they set off immediately.

At present, Suqian Port has expanded a lot, and in this era, near the lake, especially Hongze Lake, the key lake of the Huai River, there are many floods.

Unlike the traditional Yangtze River and the Yellow River, which flow into the sea, the Huai River has no estuary, and the water is directly injected into Hongze Lake, which begins to expand slowly, which is in an ordinary stable state.

Once the summer comes, the precipitation in the upper reaches increases, not to mention the flood peaks of the whole basin, but the flood peaks of most of the basins, which will make Hongze Lake turbulent.

Suqian is a more suitable place after various selections, but the place where the port can really be built is some distance from Hongze Lake, for this purpose, at least 4 miles long artificial waterway was built, and it was initially expanded to a wide enough extent.

100 large ships lined up in the port, and then slowly moved forward, to the waterway of Hongze Lake, almost a few hundred meters away, to Hongze Lake, and then the speed accelerated.

From the Huai River upstream, it is about hundreds of miles to be able to contact the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is the relationship of the countercurrent, which requires a boatman, and in some key places, it also needs a slender man, fortunately, this is a very short distance, at most it is ten days, this is still a slow journey, if the number of slender men is increased, the time can be reduced at least doubled.

The swaying boat, on the river, is quite stable, more than a year ago, Zhao Xin is sitting on a much smaller boat, started a journey through the crossing, now, a lot more stable, at least not worried about the problem of assassination, for the future road, the understanding is also clearer.

The Northern Song Dynasty must have changed, even if he leaves, the Northern Song Dynasty will not come to such a dangerous situation as before, and it is almost impossible for the 8 heirs to fall on Zhao Shu.

The strength of the clan has been divided because of the relationship between the 8 heirs, and before, Renzong had feelings and indebtedness to Zhao Shu, so he took too much care of them.

But after the Baozhou Mutiny, Zhao Xin not only did not die, but also survived, and the king of Runan County interfered too much in the middle.

According to the evidence, the King of Runan County is very skillful, and even the Wang family has not been involved too much, and many secrets have been cut off, but for the superiors, suspicion is enough to solve everything.

In the previous life, the other party was successful, Renzong did not investigate in time after the pain of losing his son, and lost the key point time, after the passage of time, he may have realized this, but because of the further expansion of the strength of the king of Runan County, there was no birth of an heir, and finally had to pinch his scalp and admit it.

But this time, Zhao Xin not only did not die, but also gave the most suitable choice, even now, 8 people to choose, who to choose, why choose Zhao Shu.

Without Zhao Shu, coupled with the competitive relationship cultivated since childhood, there is almost no problem of Pu Yi.

In addition, now, if the Western Xia is solved, there will be no change in the law of the Shenzong because of the problem of funds in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Northern Song Dynasty, which was well funded, would almost inevitably expand outward as long as it took a few years to complete military and political reforms, and the Liao State would bear the brunt.

Even Jia Chaochang, who has always been relatively conservative, is moving towards the Liao State, not to mention other radicals, as long as they have a certain advantage in the early stage, it is no problem to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and it is not impossible to go one step further and win the Liao State and harvest a large area of land in the Liao State.
