When Han Qi asked to see him, he was very sure that Concubine Miao would meet him, and he was quite familiar with Concubine Miao's character, and immediately followed him in after seeing someone leading him.

Seeing Concubine Miao again in the dormitory, Han Qi felt that his expression seemed to be a little unpleasant, thinking about it, the purpose of Han Qi's arrival, no matter how he came, he could guess it, in this case, Concubine Miao could be happy.

If he could, Han Qi was really willing to give Concubine Miao a few more days to stay, Concubine Miao would definitely be happy, but as long as she left in the future, she would still be unhappy, separation is the same for anyone, unless you can wait to the maximum, such as staying for dozens of days, or even longer.

That's impossible, itself, even if the contract can't be signed, at most 2 months, Han Qi will take Concubine Miao back, leaving Fu Bi to continue the discussion, in his opinion, the contract between the two countries is a compromise reached in the end of continuous negotiations.

But now, the contract has been signed, and there are many harvests, Han Qi is a little impatient, many ideas must be perfected in a short time, the sooner the better, and even said that the biggest benefit of the contract, for the site selection of 100 factories, the project in advance, these can be continued, if these projects can be completed one day earlier, these factories can be settled one day earlier, and the output can be one day earlier, which is the best thing for the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Are you leaving?" Before Han Qi could speak, Concubine Miao took the initiative to ask.

At this moment, Han Qi was slightly shaken, for this person who has made great contributions, he can't bear it, without Concubine Miao, what level of this contract will be, it is really hard to say, maybe, a contract will be signed to lose power and humiliate the country, that is Han Qi lost his adult.

But at this moment, I can't relax, or I still said a positive answer, I want to leave, and as soon as possible, within a day or two, after the Dinghai Navy has made arrangements for help, I will leave.

Concubine Miao sighed, at this time, even if he was reluctant, he knew very well that the leisure trip to Dinghai was over, and he couldn't take it with him for a long time, although he didn't know when he left this time, and it was even unlikely that he would ever come again, but she had to go.

Han Qi came over, just a notice, at this time, any explanation, it seemed pale and weak, after he finished speaking, he confessed and left, at this time, staying here more, not only will not have much benefit to the next things, but will add to the blockage of Concubine Miao.

Before Han Qi arrived, Concubine Miao had already started to pack her things, but it was just a simple packing, and now, after knowing that she had to leave, she began to pack up thoroughly, to say that there are no regrets, that is negative, because the clothes made for Zhao Xin have only completed 2 sets, and the rest can only be done again, fortunately, after the two countries reached a contract, the relationship between the two countries is close, if you return to the Northern Song Dynasty, after you do it, you can send it over.

After thinking about it, Concubine Miao did not inform Zhao Xin, who knows, in the evening, Zhao Xin came, on the night of his accession to the throne, on the night of becoming the emperor, he came to Concubine Miao again, as usual, and had the last dinner with Concubine Miao and Fukang.

The news that Concubine Miao was leaving, he had known it for a long time, and from the moment the contract was signed, he knew that Han Qi would definitely leave after the founding ceremony, and at the same time, the entire Jinyuan was arranged by him, and he would be notified of any disturbances, and he also knew the news of Han Qi's arrival today.

Under such inference, it goes without saying what the reason for Han Qi's arrival is.

But if you know it, you know it, and you know that you can't stop it, unless Concubine Miao is willing to stay here, that is, she will tear her face with the Northern Song Dynasty.

Even above the founding ceremony, Concubine Miao did not take the initiative to appear, just to take care of Quanrenzong's face, if Concubine Miao is forced to stay, then how to cover it up and die again?

Besides, Concubine Miao's own will is the key, if Concubine Miao is really willing to stay, then even if it is a war with the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Xin will not hesitate, but Concubine Miao does not want to stay, then there is no way to say.

Rather than making people in a dilemma, it is better to know it, although Zhao Xin did not directly ask Concubine Miao when she was leaving, he began to prepare things for Concubine Miao.

Some of these things were prepared after it was confirmed that Concubine Miao arrived, and some were prepared after she came, a lot of things, money, all kinds of precious items, and even medicines, which almost amounted to more than 20 million yuan.

The huge wealth, for Zhao Xin, is already a dime a dime, the key lies in the mind, every part is attentive, many of them are needed by Concubine Miao or the Northern Song Dynasty.

Before Concubine Miao left, she surprisingly didn't say a word, just left silently, and the difference with when she came was that at that time, Zhao Xin had arranged a lot of things, and she had time to go to the vicinity of Shanhaiguan to pick up Concubine Miao, but this time Concubine Miao left, Zhao Xin had just become the emperor, and the whole of China was full of things, and there was really no such time.

Concubine Miao understands, he knows very well that in the future, it may be a long time, as long as there is nothing special, it is very difficult for Concubine Miao to see Zhao Xin again, to see Zhao Xin, only Concubine Miao can come over, Zhao Xin cannot go to the Northern Song Dynasty, Renzong will not come here, he has already been bold once, can he make an exception, it is really hard to say.

In addition to preparing a lot of things, in the arrangement of the vehicle, the same is the use of steam locomotives, although it can only go to the south of Shanhaiguan, but it can be used for 2 hours, and it may take a day to complete the trip, and you can set off in the early morning, almost to arrive at Shanhaiguan at dawn, so that as long as the train over there is ready, at most it is a little delay, you can have a full day.

Although it only saves a day's time, it is also quite considerable for a long journey, and in Zhao Xin's opinion, if you can make Concubine Miao easier, let him relax.

There are all kinds of gifts piled up in the carriage, the largest is a bill of exchange, of course, out of understanding of Concubine Miao, this bill of exchange, it is estimated that nine times out of ten, it was taken by Renzong for government expenses, but what should be given still has to be given, even if it is taken away by Renzong.

In fact, the most appropriate are those gifts, whether it is the new silk of the silk weaving factory, and all kinds of new cotton cloth, these things are enough for Concubine Miao to use and reward, although they now belong to two countries, but in Zhao Xin's heart, he still hopes that his mother can live a better life.

Zhao Xin used the excuse that he was busy with official business and did not come to see him off, what he should say, when he was in Jinyuan, he had already finished speaking, and in such a separation, it was just to increase the disturbance, which was also what Concubine Miao wanted to see, only Fukang, who was still ignorant, was a little reluctant when he knew that Zhao Xin had not arrived.

Soon, they got on the train, because of the relationship left, even with the addition of Fu Bi and some attachés, it could be enough to fit a carriage, but it was just a little crowded, looking at the tall, steely train locomotive, Han Qi was full of admiration.

The strength of the Dinghai Navy lies in the good use of all kinds of machines, whether it is the use of various machines in the factory, or these, the tools that run on the railway, the general feeling, it is unbelievable, these can surpass the speed of the galloping horse, or even more than double, can be non-stop day and night The train is the real train.

During the negotiations, Han Qi and Fu Bi also mentioned this, because the advance of the railway made the logistics activities of the entire Northern Song Dynasty very smooth, and what was wasted in the past and even had no effect has now become wealth, increasing wealth for the people and increasing wealth for the country, if this speed can be doubled, it will also be of great benefit to the Northern Song Dynasty.

Militarily, with Bianliang as the center, even if it is to the northwest, if the train is opened, it may take a day to transport the army from Bianliang to the northwest, which is of great strategic significance to a country.

But this is useless, the Western Xia and the Liao State have been destroyed separately, and the Dinghai Navy has been replaced by such a terrible force, so that the number of the army is basically useless, and there is no way to solve the artillery and muskets of the Dinghai Navy, what is the strength of the troops, there is no strength at all.

Because of the current external environment of the Northern Song Dynasty, the military role has been relatively small, in fact, the railway is more important for economic efficiency.

Before seeing and applying the railway on a large scale, no matter how Han Qi thought about it, he would not have thought that a fast railway would have so many effects and such a great bonus to the economic activities of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

An average speed of about 35 kilometers, can create unimaginable value of the railway, for 120 kilometers, what will be the final effect, this is the efficiency increased by 3 times, it should not be so simple, the railway of steam locomotives, can run 24 hours a day.

The original railway, with the horse-drawn train method, when a lot of adjustments were made, during the day, it could run at high speed, but at night, it was difficult for people to see, and it was even more difficult for horses, especially a large number of horses pulling a vehicle, and at the same time, in some extreme environments, for example, strong winds, heavy rains, and some special weather, these could not come up.

Of course, in the whole country, such extreme weather is a rare case, but at night, it is at least 10 hours, 10 in summer, and even more than 12 in winter, which is equivalent to saying that even under the premise of the same speed, the efficiency of steam locomotives is 1 times higher than that of horse-drawn trains, let alone faster.

Of course, there is also the relationship between the carriages, the horse-drawn train, the most extreme carriage is 4, but the steam train can pull more than 10, which is doubled.

As long as this is applied, the overall efficiency will be increased by more than ten or twenty times, and the benefits that can be created every year can create a peak.

At the beginning of the construction of the railway, the highlight of Han Qi's attention was the military use of the railway, which was heavy and costly in the past, and was not replaced by the railway, and then solved some other problems, and the supply could be self-sufficient.

Who knows, after the construction of the railway, gave him a big surprise, the first year is still enough, because the railway is a new thing, no one has experience, can not say to make money, is able to say not to lose money, the second year, with the increase of railways, especially from the Dinghai Navy to get advanced experience, improve the efficiency of the railway, so that the volume of railway transportation is getting bigger and bigger.

The huge volume of transportation, not only interconnected, but also brought huge benefits, the second year of calculation, the net profit of the railway reached 5 million, basically in support of the cost of the railway itself, can support the expansion of the railway network.

This is the root of the large-scale expansion of the railway, now, the entire Northern Song Dynasty railway network layout has been completed, coupled with the newly developed passenger transport, so that itself excellent profitability, in the rise to a new level, in the last year, the net profit of the railway reached 40 million, has begun to occupy an important proportion of the Northern Song Dynasty's fiscal revenue.

Of course, this part, in the entire financial revenue did not appear, the laying of the railway, into a peak, after following the training of the Dinghai Navy, under the combination of its own development, the Northern Song Dynasty also trained a group of outstanding railway construction talents, most of the railway construction is carried out by these construction teams, only some key and difficult projects, will please Dinghai.

Most of the profits were invested in the transformation and expansion, and in the entire fiscal revenue, the railway paid a simple tax, about 10 million, which has accounted for one-tenth of the entire Northern Song Dynasty financial amount.

If, on the basis of the original, the efficiency of the railway is increased by 10 times, what will be the concept, perhaps, the income may not be increased by 10 times, but only three times or five times, it is enough to move Han Qi, representing the previous considerable degree of fiscal revenue.

This is an improvement outside the factory, although it still relies on the Ding Navy, but in a sense, it is led by Han Qi, or led by the Northern Song Dynasty, even if there is no Ding Navy, there will not be too many problems, but Han Qi does not know that the scientific and technological content represented by the steam engine is much higher than that of the machine, and there is a contradiction between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Ding Navy, and if the Ding Navy no longer supports it, such a steam locomotive will not be able to play in the Northern Song Dynasty at all.

It's a pity that Han Qi's suggestion at that time was rejected, the reason is very simple, the current production efficiency of steam locomotives is not high, and it is three or five units a month, and in the future, it may increase to 20 or 30, but this number is not enough to meet the needs of the Dinghai Navy, let alone the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, such a proposal was finally reported to Zhao Xin, but it was revised by Zhao Xin, and discussed with the Northern Song Dynasty, comprehensive support will definitely not work, and it is still feasible to connect Shenyang and Bianliang.
