Chapter 808: Direct Railway

This railway, which is directly connected to Shenyang Bianliang, is a through train in Zhao Xin's statement, except for some necessary checkpoints and stations, there is no blockage, as long as it is properly arranged, it can be reached directly.

This saves a lot of intermediate links, and with the help of the powerful power of the steam locomotive, the distance between the two can be shortened.

After all, the steam engine used in the new railway, there is no need to take into account the space for changing horses and horses, on the contrary, the requirements for the railway itself, as well as the bending bridges and the like, are particularly high, and these are not simple problems.

Fortunately, these Dinghai were responsible for the revision of the railway, in fact, the construction of the entire Northern Song Dynasty before, the standard was not low, if it was really transformed, it would not require much investment.

The steel mill of the Dinghai Navy is gradually improved according to the traditional, scientific and technological development spiral line, before the Northern Song Dynasty railway, not very clear, but at the beginning, with the existence of Niu Dali, the railway track supplied to the Northern Song Dynasty is basically between 22 kg and 25 kg per meter, such steel, the material is relatively good, for the primary steam locomotive, it can also withstand it, and there is even a certain possibility and space for transformation.

Dinghai even directly gave the overall modification plan, according to this plan, for the original changes, mainly to modify the change of horses, as well as suitable places for horses to run, closed roads, so suitable for steam locomotives, there are a lot of things that need to be changed, it is a very good attempt.

This is a railway line connecting the two capitals, along the line, whether it is the Northern Song Dynasty, or the Dinghai Navy, there are countless important cities, the passenger value generated by the simple movement of people, it is very large, not to mention the more profitable freight, once through, it can be unceremoniously said that it is a golden road.

Under the cover of huge economic efficiency, there is another point that Zhao Xin really thinks, Zhao Xin thinks that it may take four or five days to walk from Bianliang to Shenyang before, which will waste a lot of time, and also reduce the possibility of Concubine Miao coming to Shenyang again to almost zero.

If such a railway is connected, the speed of 120 kilometers per hour, 24 hours of operation, may be the fastest, one day and one night, and it will arrive.

This is not a fantasy, a 2600 kilometers, 5200 miles of railway, in the past, it was a distance to the edge of the sky, even if the army opened, there was no 40 days, 2 months, don't think about it, back and forth, at least half a year smaller, but under the new train, it can actually reach a day and a night to arrive, the shrinkage of this space is very terrible.

At this speed, the distance between the two sides has been greatly shortened, and the arrival of Concubine Miao has become a possibility, before, it will take at least 10 days to go back and forth, so that plus the time of stay, at least half a month, this is a very hasty and even fatigued approach, if you are a little uncomfortable, you will be sick for a few days, it will be a big trouble, and there are too many rooms that need to be covered for a long time, and if you come, the possibility of being found will increase.

But now, on the premise that it only takes 2 days to go back and forth, even if it is a week, you can also be here for 5 days, which is not much different from the previous half a month, and the difference between a week and half a month, is very big.

This is a good thing, when this approval was sent to the hands of the Northern Song Dynasty, in front of Fu Bi and Han Qi, it was a little muttering, I thought about introducing it before, because the railway was in the hands of the Northern Song Dynasty, and if a railway line was built at the same time, how to consider the issue of jurisdiction.

If the Dinghai Navy uses this railway, then it may be able to send the army to the city of Bianliang within a day or two, but that is not it.

This point, in the choice given by Zhao Xin, there is already a relatively perfect one, as far as ticket sales are concerned, the two sides have equal opportunities, there may be an imbalance, but it is also acceptable, and the income from ticket sales, both parties can be self-exclusive. Critical issues such as transit, inspection, and some sovereignty can also be put on hold and treated as a commercial act as much as possible.

After exhausting the explanation, coupled with the premise that the navy took the initiative to retreat, the basic plan of this railway was determined.

Because of safety issues, unless the horse-drawn train is completely closed, the steam train and the horse-drawn train are mixed with each other, and it is easy to be dangerous.

In the future, the steam locomotive must be the standard configuration of the Dinghai Navy, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, because there is only one line, and even under the premise of thinking twice, it is unlikely to be completely placed on this railway, and the horse-drawn train still needs to run, so it is very necessary to rebuild a railway.

Fortunately, about the side from Bianliang to Shanhaiguan, the double line has been built, and almost 60% of it has been built, if there is such a line, there is no need to build the double line, and the double line is directly changed to this.

The follow-up project, of course, is paid by the navy, and the funds for the entire reconstruction are also invested by the navy.

Railways, even horse-drawn railways, are a very profitable business, not to mention, steam locomotives, without the disadvantages of horse-drawn trains, are faster, and can run 24 hours a day, these are all advantageous places, and under the premise of many favorable places, the benefits will be better.

At the same time, the speed saving will make a lot of business that could not be done before become doable, which is a huge boost to the migration of population, the expansion of influence, and even the quantity of various raw materials imported from the Northern Song Dynasty.

Compared to this, the small amount of money invested in the railroad is nothing.

The contract is signed like this, some people take advantage of it, some people suffer losses, but they take advantage openly, according to the loss and the obvious loss, and secretly take advantage, under the premise that the two sides have different sights and even visions, of course, they are all happy.

However, this time, Han Qi can only take this steam locomotive to Shanhaiguan, but these can already save a day's time, and for Han Qi, who is like an arrow, it is a lot in a day.

The rumbling train is once again driving majestically on the railway, and the main people on the train have different mentalities.

Han Qi and Fu Bi are full of ambition, and they have gained enough in the Dinghai Navy, whether it is the signing of the contract or the determination of 100 factories, as long as they are well used, they will make the entire Northern Song Dynasty to a new level, I don't know, can they catch up with the Dinghai Navy, but the Northern Song Dynasty itself is strong, it is really strong.

Concubine Miao's mentality is different, at this time, I don't know when I will be able to come, as a concubine, except for when Han Qi asked to be by her side, she only intervened, the others did not, and I don't know, Zhao Xin specially proposed a steam locomotive railway in order for her to be able to facilitate her travel, as long as Renzong agrees, cover it up a little, it should not be any problem to come and go here, a day and a night trip, even if she is a little tired, she can accept it.

Upstairs in front of the platform, Zhao Xin stood here quietly, he didn't go to see him off, the words of seeing him off had already been said yesterday, and he was sad to be there today, but he still came to the scene, and watched Concubine Miao leave Dinghai, next time, I don't know when.

With a roar, the train quickly left the platform, faster and faster, farther and farther away, and finally disappeared on the horizon, Zhao Xin sighed and returned to the palace.

The days of the arrival of Concubine Miao and Fukang are the easiest time for Zhao Xin, to be honest, the development of the Ding Navy is inseparable from his comprehensive monitoring, with the Ding Navy getting bigger and bigger, Zhao Xin's responsibility is also greater, tens of millions of people, huge countries, these are all borne on Zhao Xin's shoulders, even if the development of the Ding Navy is particularly good, whether it is science and technology, industry, or weapons, they are all developed in place, but the heavy pressure still makes him breathless.

As the head of the Dinghai Navy, whether it is the government, technology, or even sports, it is impossible to leave him, and once there is a slight problem, it may suffer a flash crash.

At that time, because of forgetting safety, the major accident caused by the steel mill can be said to be a long alarm bell, years of construction, may be a disaster will be wiped out, safety, from now on, rather miss, not wrong, this is also the development of the Navy to the present fundamental.

But all this mountain of pressure is pressed on Zhao Xin alone, he is the leader, the leader of everyone, at this moment, any change in him will make the entire spiritual atmosphere change, even if it is under heavy pressure, Zhao Xin will not show the slightest.

If Zhao Xin was a natural king, he should have been born to bear this pressure, but he was not, he was in the later life, just an ordinary person who studied better, from childhood to adulthood, at most he had been a team leader, a team leader and other petty officials, and even in the archaeology industry, he was still a doctoral student, still in the ivory tower, and had not yet come out.

Traveling to this era, by chance, with the card system and the insight of the traverser, he has come to this point today, and has created such a huge family business in Dinghai, but deep down, he is still a kind mountain man, even if it is a later generation, he is just a doctoral student who has not stepped out of the ivory tower.

The strong pressure made him breathless, he couldn't stop, let alone rest, he could only keep moving forward, that is, occasionally, getting along with Concubine Miao, let him really become a child from the bottom of his heart, and enjoy the joy of family with his mother.

Before, when I was in the Northern Song Dynasty, I still needed to have scruples, after all, in the Northern Song Dynasty, under the nose of Renzong, many things were impossible to do, even if it was expression, and confiding, it was reserved.

But in Dingjun, in the self-reserved land of Jinyuan, he can easily show the mentality of a child, and in terms of age, he is really a child.

Such a mentality, such attachment, even if it is only a few days, is very helpful for the mentality, that kind of pressure like a mountain, slowly dissipated, even if it has not been completely cleaned up, but for Zhao Xin, who has always been burdened with such a great pressure, even if it is only a little removed, it is also a great help to him.

Now, Concubine Miao is gone, the contract with the Northern Song Dynasty has also been signed, and the contract for the export of labor services has also been signed.

The Liao State, even if it overpowered the Northern Song Dynasty and became a superpower dominating the entire East Asia, and even controlled a huge territory, but the development of these lands was very low.

The Northern Song Dynasty inherited the Chinese tradition, the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River, which are the essence of traditional China, after thousands of years of development, has formed a huge urban agglomeration and development, which is not comparable to the Liao State.

Not to mention, even if the Liao State occupies Youyun, these traditional lands that belong to China, and even quite prosperous lands, but in the hands of the Liao State, not only have they not been developed, but they have been degraded.

For more than 100 years, Zhuo County, a male city, has become the Nanjing of the Liao State, and even a large capital city in the Northern Song Dynasty is not as good, even Zhuo County is like this, not to mention other cities, especially Zhongjing and Tokyo, even if these were once considered Han land, but the distance is too far, if Tokyo still has a little Han style, Zhongjing is simply a city built by Liao, and they don't have much Han style.

The style of the Han family may not be a great thing, but it is the gradual development of the Han nationality since the beginning of a thousand years, and it has already become the pinnacle of all ethnic groups in the world.

The scientific and technological level of the Dinghai Navy, compared with the Northern Song Dynasty, I don't know how much higher, casually thrown out of the things, can make the Northern Song Dynasty eat full of oil, land and turf, in the eyes of the Dingjun, is another meaning, only continuous development, construction, can play his real role, just like the Dinghai, only more than 300 square kilometers of small islands, but become the foundation of the development of the Dinghai.

Now, with the land of the entire Liao country, especially Shenyang, which is the most important, as long as it is developed around it, it will take five years at most, and it should be said that it will not take five years to achieve considerable development.

For a long time to come, it will not be difficult for the Dinghai Navy to stabilize itself, promote the great strides in the development of the Liao State, and turn the original barren land dominated by animal husbandry and agriculture into industrial land.

Then there is the population, from the Northern Song Dynasty to obtain a steady stream of population, dig deep from the inside, expand the birth rate, so that the population of the Dinghai Navy doubles forward, when these two reach a peak, it is not impossible not to fight the soldiers.
