Cui Xueer looked at her father standing in front of her with some surprise. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When she came back to her senses, her tears suddenly burst out of her eyes, she had never seen her father since she entered the palace, and now the father and daughter couldn't help but feel a little sad when they saw each other.

Xiao Ming stood behind the King of Huainan, and after dispersing him, he took the King of Huainan to the palace, this trip to Qingzhou is just the beginning, and after these vassal kings go back, it depends on their specific actions, so Xiao Ming does not dare to be careless, and he still has to play the emotional card in the face of the strongest vassal king among the three kings.

It's not that Xiao Ming is afraid of the King of Huainan, but that he is unwilling to start a war lightly and waste national strength.

When he was just an ordinary person, he used to like to shout and kill casually, but since he became the emperor, he has become more and more afraid to speak and fight.

For him, unless something must be resolved by war, he will not start a war easily, after all, the phrase "although the country is great, the warlike will perish" is not a casual saying of the ancients.

"Minister, see the concubine." King Huainan was also a little excited, but he tried his best to suppress his emotions and saluted Cui Xue'er.

Cui Xue'er was stunned for a moment, and then realized that now they are no longer a simple father-daughter relationship, and now his father must call her a concubine.

With a slight sigh in her heart, Cui Xue'er said, "King Huainan is exempt." ”

Hearing this, King Huainan dared to get up.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming said: "King Huainan doesn't have to be formal, although Xue'er is the imperial concubine now, she is also your daughter, if you have anything to say as a father and daughter." ”

Realizing that it was his own existence that made King Huainan a little unable to let go, he said: "Qian Dafu, you accompany the concubine out of the palace today, let the king of Huainan and the concubine go to Cui Shang'an's mansion for a few days, the king of Huainan rarely comes to Qingzhou, and he can't go home." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qian Dafu responded, Cui Xueer and King Huainan also smiled, and now their family can finally be reunited.

After saying this, Xiao Ming walked towards the imperial study, he just said that he had something to do, but she saw Princess Pingyang walking towards the imperial study.

Turning to leave, Xiao Ming went to the imperial study, and Princess Pingyang had just arrived.

Seeing Xiao Ming, Princess Pingyang said: "Congratulations to the emperor on his double happiness today." ”

"Double happiness? Where is double happiness? ”

Xiao Ming smiled, he now identified more and more with Princess Pingyang, because no matter from the secret guards or his observations, Princess Pingyang has been conscientiously repairing the railway.

He naturally agrees with such an aunt who is willing to do things.

After getting acquainted with Xiao Ming, Princess Pingyang will also grasp the skills of getting along with Xiao Ming while respecting the imperial power, she said jokingly: "One of them is that the cutting of the feudal domain is smooth, and since then there are three less vassal kings in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and the second is that the railways of Qingzhou Laiwu, Dengzhou, and Kaiping will be opened to traffic soon, isn't this a double happiness?" ”

"Traffic?" Xiao Ming asked in surprise, "Really?" ”

"I don't dare to joke with the emperor, according to the emperor's plan, we will complete the opening of these three railways by the end of this year, and we are just a little ahead of schedule." Princess Pingyang said, "However, this is all thanks to the slaves provided by the emperor and the ample parts of the steel mill. ”

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, it is now winter, and before you know it, another year is about to pass.

Although the key event in this year was the expulsion of the barbarians, the industry and construction of the Great Chongqing State have been going on, and this railway is only one of them, in addition, in order to solve the problem of ore, the Department of Minerals sent a large number of personnel to all parts of the country to find all kinds of large-scale mines.

Once the mines marked on the drawings were discovered, the Department of Minerals established the mines with the cooperation of the local government.

In addition, steel workshops, steam engine workshops, and mechanical workshops are increasing production lines, and three large shipyards have been added along the coast.

Instead of the previous backward handicraft workshops, these shipyards used a lot of steam engine power, and some shipyard-specific machinery and equipment began to settle in.

Ever since the advent of the steam engine battleship, the idea of the ironclad has been swirling in his mind, and these mechanized shipyards are prepared to build steam-powered ironclad warships.

"Good! Good! Good! Xiao Ming said three good words in a row, he got up and walked to the map of the imperial study, on which three railway lines were marked.

These three lines are not straight lines, but zigzag like earthworms, and the area through which the railway focuses on passing through in the construction plan is the mining area, which is why it has such a shape.

"Once it is opened to traffic, the three places will be connected into a line, and from then on, the cities along the railway will no longer have to worry about coal and iron, so that the industrial zone of Qingzhou can be expanded." Xiao Ming's hands trembled a little excitedly.

A sad fact is that since the industrialization of Qingzhou, the development of the Great Chongqing State has been limited to a few cities.

There is no other reason, and the contradiction lies in the transportation of resources.

Dayu is not the United Kingdom, from the south to the north is the distance between the north and south of Qingzhou, this vast country is very difficult to transport resources, relying on primitive transportation and carriage transportation is far from enough.

Therefore, Xiao Ming can only rely on resource-rich areas to build an industrial base, and with an industrial base, he can build railways nationwide to open up the transportation of resources across the country.

If you want to get rich, you have to build roads first, this is not an empty phrase, even in the 21st century, the areas where transportation is scarce are still very poor, because there are no transportation conditions there.

Princess Pingyang had a smile on her face, it was the first time she was so happy to see Xiao Ming, she said: "But the three railways can consume a lot of silver in the treasury. ”

"No matter how poor you are, you have to repair." Xiao Ming was categorical, he said: "The task of your railway division has just begun, after these three railways, you will build the Qingliao Railway on a line in Youzhou, Jinzhou, Liaozhou, and Raozhou, and start from Laizhou in the south through Xuzhou, Huaizhou, Bozhou, and Jinling to build the Qingjin Railway, and then build a railway from Qingzhou to the west to Chang'an, and go south from Chang'an to Bashu. ”

Princess Pingyang was dumbfounded when she heard this, this project was a little incredible to her, and she said: "Your Majesty, this is not a task that can be completed in a few years. ”

"Of course I know, so this is a long-term plan, and I have already given you a clear plan for the specific railway route, whether it is ten or twenty years, the railway network of the Great Chongqing Kingdom must be built." Xiao Ming's tone was firm.

Feeling Xiao Ming's determination, Princess Pingyang nodded heavily, and she said: "With the emperor's words, the Railway Division will definitely go all out." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, the railway network on the map is the route chosen after full demonstration in modern times, which saves a lot of time for the railway division.

What they have to do now is to serve as the tentacles of the Great Chongqing State, and wherever the railway extends, their army can be quickly deployed to wherever it goes.

In this way, he can really control the unstable area.
