Han Qi didn't expect that he said it casually, but after getting Zhao Xin's assurance, he also put his mind at ease, with this crane, it should be very helpful for the construction of the fortress on the frontier, and it can save a lot of time.

The strategy of the Northern Song Dynasty was more defensive, even Han Qi, who had achieved supreme military achievements, would not consider offense but defense when considering war.

Only if Jia Chaochang is forced to a dead end, will he consider taking the initiative.

The fortress almost meets all the needs of the Northern Song Dynasty for frontier defense, as long as it is not negligent and will not be surrendered to the city, without paying a certain price, don't want to take it at all.

In general, frontier cities, under negligence, have the possibility of being destroyed, but on the fortress, this possibility is reduced to a minimum.

This is not a traditional, dual-use city, that is to say, under normal circumstances, there will be no one in and out, the height of the fortress is higher, coupled with the anti-heaven artifact such as the telescope, even if it is more than 10 miles apart, it will be discovered by the lookout of the fortress, and the troops gathered in large numbers in a short period of time, even if there are perfect things, it is impossible to enter the fortress at one time.

According to the defense regulations of the entire fortress, unless it is in the rear of absolute security, or to transport grain and grass, etc., it is not allowed to open the gate of the fortress.

The danger of the castle has been reduced to a minimum, and if you want to take the fortress, you must attack it.

The advent of cranes and simplified bastions has further reduced the time it takes to build bastions, and as long as the funds are sufficient, I am afraid that in the future, on the northern border, all will be bastions.

To a certain extent, the fortress replaced the role of the Great Wall, and the defense was stronger and more efficient, which would become a nightmare for the northern nomads.

When he was in the northwest, Han Qi has always been wholeheartedly focused on the development of the northwest, taking Lingzhou from the layout, destroying the Western Xia, coupled with the signing of the Lingzhou Peace Conference, the northwest has obtained enough resources, because of the benefit is the guide, the development of the entire Lingzhou, laid a good foundation for him.

But even if he has made so many huge contributions, any one of them is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but Han Qi knows very well that these can lay the foundation for him to reach the top in the future, but now, it is unlikely that he will reach the top directly.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were hundreds of county magistrates and thousands of low-level officials of six or seven grades, but the higher the position, the fewer and fewer, for example, the state transfer envoy level, the Northern Song Dynasty only had more than 20 in total, that is to say, the officials at this level came according to the multiple of this number.

As for the above, in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, there are dozens of scholars and governors at the level of political affairs, but when it comes to positions, there are only three people at the top.

The prime minister of the Eastern Prefecture, the privy envoy, and the three envoys, these are the heads of the three most important departments of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Dongfu, that is, Zhongshu Menxia Province, on the basis of the original three provinces and six departments of Zhongshu Province, has added the functions and powers of Menxia Province, which can be said to be the core of civil officials, and the head of Dongfu, also commonly known as the head of the auxiliary, is the head of civil officials.

Xifu, that is, the Privy Council, is the head of the military attachés, and the three envoys are the heads of the three divisions.

A civil official, a military general, and a financial officer, these three are the nominal supreme leaders of the Northern Song Dynasty, among them, Dongfu is recognized as the first person, and all aspiring scholars want to sit in that position, and after that, it is the army and finance.

In itself, Han Qi served as the privy deputy envoy, which was relatively backward among the privy envoys, there were too many officials in the Northern Song Dynasty, coupled with the emperor's deliberate rotation, some who had served as the head of the Eastern and Western Governments, in some mistakes, or in some cases, would go down and serve as governors in various ways.

For example, during the reign of Renzong, there were more than a dozen or twenty prime ministers alone, and not everyone was old, and many of them were laid down for various reasons.

There have been prime ministers, or privy envoys who have experienced this, even after being degraded, their status is quite high, and such people are not one or two, but a large number of people.

Han Qi directly mentioned the privy deputy envoy from the locality, which is equivalent to leapfrogging the promotion, according to the fixed trajectory, it needs to go up and down several times before he can go to the next level and cross the distance from the deputy to the main position.

Of course, Fan Zhongyan was demoted, and Han Qi was sent to the northwest, even if he served as the head of the fourth road, but it was also a temporary and did not have the qualifications to move to a higher level.

After a series of great achievements, it is equivalent to crossing this boundary, and anyone knows that Han Qi will hold a regular position, but now, these three positions have not been vacated, and they are still waiting for opportunities.

In the past, even if it was to replace Ye Qingchen's position, Han Qi was very happy, but with the support of huge merits, it was almost impossible to be the third envoy anymore.

Of course, it is impossible to jump directly to the head of the Eastern Mansion, even if it is as strong as Fan Zhongyan, who bears the hopes of the world and is highly expected by Renzong, it is only the position of the privy deputy envoy.

For the time being, Han Qi does not have a policy program, coupled with the merits he has made, it is almost impossible to temporarily replace him with a certain position, so a regular position is necessary.

Removing the lowest of the three envoys, it is impossible for the prime minister of the Eastern Mansion to reach it, so the privy envoy can meet this.

This is also the fundamental reason why Han Qi pays more attention to the military fortress, he has an intuition that he is very likely to go to the Privy Council first, and after the Privy Council has passed for a period of time, he will go to Dongfu and step into the pinnacle.

This is not Han Qi's idea alone, this is something that almost all the middle and high-level leaders in the Northern Song Dynasty understand, and this is also the root of Jia Chaochang's anxiety.

Jia Chaochang's talent is not outstanding, he sat in this position through opportunities and his own efforts, it was so easy, he survived the crisis of changing the law, bowed his head and became small, and finally defeated Fan Zhongyan, I thought that he had finally come out, but a more radiant Han Qi emerged.

In order to resist Han Qi's impact, he even gave up his previous steady approach, and secretly decided to prepare for a war against Liao, and he didn't even prepare for the connection, this move has been radical to the extreme.

Han Qi is radiant and has made great contributions, but unfortunately, the background is a little worse, he is too young, and the family background is not strong, he has not gone through ups and downs for many years, and finally became the minister of the elders of the Three Dynasties.

The lack of time allowed Han Qi to have a status, but there was no network to match his status, and Jia Chaochang was quite secret, Han Qi didn't know that Jia Chaochang even did not hesitate to start a war with Liao in order to fight him.

I didn't realize that the future position will usher in twists and turns Han Qi, focusing on watching the entire process of building a bridge, as long as there is enough lifting device, it can be built quickly, and this is the most difficult in the previous bridge construction, once this reduces a lot of time, when a small part, reinforcement and repair, the speed of construction is very fast.

Han Qi didn't notice that during the entire construction process, the people who have been on the front line but are not involved in the construction are also the key to the efficiency of the project.

The three major system projects, which were in the middle of the 20th century, and even after World War II, appeared and developed a system that focuses on reducing ineffective labor and increasing overall efficiency.

Parallel engineering, which is too advanced, cannot be implemented without the existence of computers and communications, and without any understanding of the control and engineering itself.

Zhao Xin is not a professional, but he only has a cursory understanding of some relevant knowledge, which cannot support him to open in the Dinghai Navy.

However, another relatively simple overall plan can still be implemented, and these simple principles were used as early as when the Dinghai Navy started industrialization.

Basically, the principle is very simple, to do other things that need to wait for some time, to do things in order, into mutual mosaics, it is impossible to achieve the degree of perfection, but the gradual proficiency, modular steps, can still save a lot of time.

Whether it is the Daimyo Blacksmith Workshop or the Dinghai Navy, they have played a terrible role in industrial production, and the production efficiency has been greatly improved.

The basic theory of co-ordination is simple, the most basic is the one in the textbook, who needs 10 minutes to boil a pot, and it takes 5 minutes to bake a cake, how to complete it in the shortest time.

According to some of the sequence in the construction of the bridge, adjust to ensure that the whole is completed in an orderly manner, there is no process of some different efficiency and waiting, which seems to be unfast, but in fact, the efficiency is very high.

Hundreds of ships, in the crane, as well as in the process of transportation, there is no mistake at all, one by one cement prefabricated parts, in the intense construction, none of them go wrong, which can be seen in the subtle control.

Of course, Han Qi also felt this, he felt that the order of the construction site was very good and smooth, but he didn't think much about it, just because, this is the result of proficiency, but he didn't know that proficiency is one thing, and rules are another.

These are responsible for co-ordination, and they will adjust the subtleties according to the effect of on-site construction, partly according to experience.

In fact, in the process of Han Qi's viewing, similar minor adjustments have been made more than 10 times, each time it is only limited to one or two ships, or the problem of docking angle, but these subtle places have improved the overall efficiency.

The effect of overall planning is never simple to see, and it can be understood, as if under the usual efficiency, there is no need to tighten the construction period, but the efficiency has been improved.

Those who don't understand will always think that this is proficiency, but if they don't understand their own theories, they will never be able to practice to this level.

From arriving at the morning quickly, to now, almost staying at this construction site for more than 4 hours, and even lunch, Han Qi followed Zhao Xin to eat on the construction site.

This food was quite satisfactory, Han Qi took the initiative to ask for it, and did not open a small stove.

As one of the most important construction projects in the future, even if not all of them are personnel of the Dinghai Navy, the food standard is quite high, reaching 20 wen per meal.

Don't underestimate this number, take 20 Wen to go to the restaurant, even in an ordinary city, there are not many, a cooking cake is 10 Wen, 20 Wen is at most a bowl of somen noodles and a cooking cake.

However, it is much cheaper to use it for bulk food, part of which is still to purchase goods from the navy.

The grain of the Dinghai Navy was directly transported from the south of the Yangtze River, and the relationship between water transportation and bulk purchase made the cost of grain not high, only more than 300 wen for one stone of rice, and the price of flour and other miscellaneous grains was even lower.

Dingjun began to fish on a large scale, coupled with the popularity of farming, the price of all kinds of meat, not high, according to the standard of today's noon, cauldron dishes, Chinese cabbage, white radish, meat and vermicelli.

Each person will get at least 2 taels of meat and vegetarian meat slices and other dishes, and the standard for each person is about 3 taels of steamed buns for two, as well as a simple seaweed egg drop soup.

This kind of delicious soup, not to mention ordinary farmers, even Han Qi is full of praise after eating it.

But in fact, this thing is really not expensive, in the open sea, where the reef is dense, seaweed is distributed everywhere, a big bowl of soup, it only costs a little, but the taste is very good.

Good food is not the key to attracting people, but in the rich treatment and good food combined, it is.

You can earn money at the door of your home, and the food is good, compared to the treatment of the New Year, it is not much better, in this case, the farmers, have not enjoyed such courtesy, of course, they are very energetic, and they will rarely pity their strength.

The crazy work of the laborers was also very quickly, through the personnel in charge of the coordination, summed up to the command side, and then under the command of the coordinators of the Dinghai Navy, everything was in order.

In one day, the efficiency is very high, a large number of ships, constantly transporting all kinds of materials, with the help of cranes, constantly put prefabricated parts on various positions on the bridge, if you don't see it with your own eyes, Han Qi will not believe it, the efficiency will be so high.

In terms of overall efficiency, this small bridge, the two projects of the simple and ingenious bridge deck, a total of two-thirds have been completed, because of the overall relationship, plus the bridge deck, there are many supports, even if it is not fully completed, the strength of the entire bridge is also very high.

In this case, it is not a comprehensive cement bonding, subtle progress, it will also save a lot of time, once the reinforcement work is completed, the rails can be laid, plus the auxiliary bridges on both sides of the surrounding area, and the railway is connected, when the time comes, a bridge will successfully appear on the river, which is a miracle of manufacturing.
