Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming is reviewing the year-end summary sent by various departments of the imperial court. Since the promulgation of the five-year plan, the most important task at the end of the year is to verify the implementation of the five-year plan.

"Emperor, since the promulgation of the five-year plan, 26 Shangzhou thermal power plants, including Dengzhou, Youzhou, Jinzhou, Xuzhou, Jinling, Songjiang, Suzhou, Lin'an, Fuzhou and Guangzhou, have been completed. There are 127 Shangzhou thermal power plants in China. It is not a problem to complete the construction of all Shangzhou thermal power plants within five years."

On behalf of the Department of electric power, Su Liangcai reported the construction of the thermal power plant.

After a pause, he continued with his year-end report: "in addition, the Department of electric power has also made some progress in water conservancy and power generation this year. The Tuohe dam under construction has designed a water conservancy and power generation part. In terms of the popularization of electric power, now 80% of the people in Qingzhou have access to electricity, and the remaining 20% have to wait because of the remote living conditions The main line has been laid. As for the factories, all the factories in the industrial zone have used electric machinery. The only regret is that the current power department is still in a state of loss, only Qingzhou can make ends meet. "

Xiao Ming also has a year-end summary presented by Su Liangcai in his hand. He nodded admiringly," the first year's plans have been completed, which is very commendable. However, the electric power is just in its infancy, and the burden is still heavy in the future. As for the matter of profit, you don't need to consider it for the moment. At present, the electric power facilities are in the stage of intensive construction, so profit is impossible, This loss will be borne by the imperial court. "

"Yes, Emperor." Su Liangcai was relieved. He had passed the test. He could have a good year this year.

What imperial officials fear most now is the year-end summary. If their departments have problems, they will not be in a good mood for the new year.

Su Liangcai returned to his team and Princess Pingyang came out in order.

Compared with her former charm, Princess Pingyang is more capable now. Over the years, she has been in charge of the railway department, and the complicated affairs have given her a lot of training.

"Emperor, by the end of this year, the railway mileage operated by the Empire has reached 5000 kilometers. The main routes from yakesha in the north, Jinling in the south, Dengzhou in the East and Chang'an in the West have been completed. Now the railway department is building the branch railway between the main lines and completing the construction of the railway network. The only regret now is that because of the obstruction of the Yangtze River, there is no north-south railway The problem of the connection of law. "Said Princess Pingyang.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, because he started in Qingzhou and first unified the north, so industrial construction was concentrated in the north, while the South was relatively backward.

However, with the unification of the Empire and the establishment of maritime hegemony, what the Empire needs now is coastal ports for business, especially in the south.

In this way, it is a difficult problem for the Empire to get through the North-South logistics.

However, although he missed the Yangtze River Bridge for countless times, he understood that the Empire's current level of construction technology was unable to build this grand project.

So, under the measure, he decided to take second place.

Thinking of this, he called out the name of Zhang Liang. At this time, Zhang Liang came out and bowed, "emperor. "

Xiao Ming asked," what happened to the railway ferry that I asked your shipyard to study? At present, this is the only way for steam locomotives to cross the Yangtze River. "

When the train appeared and there was no bridge on the Yangtze River, the north-south railway relied on this kind of railway ferry.

In modern times, as early as 1850, Britain used train ferries in the bay of forne in Scotland. Even now, there are still more than 20 countries in the world using railway ferries.

In countries with many islands and no cross sea bridge, this kind of railway ferry is even more necessary.

In short, the railway ferry actually built the railway track on a large ferry. The track on the ferry can be connected with the railway track. If the train wants to cross the river, it only needs to drive the train into the track on the ferry.

When the train gets on the ferry, the ferry can carry the train across the sea and bridge. However, the premise of building the train ferry is to master the technology of steamboat.

In the past, Xiao Ming didn't mention it because he didn't have this technology. Now the technology of armored ships is mature, and there are no technical obstacles for building large-scale train ferries.

"Back to the emperor, the construction of train ferries is no less difficult than that of the king's armored ship. Although ministers and others have mastered the construction technology of train ferries, it will take one year to build the first batch of train ferries. It is estimated that there will be no problem at this time next year." Zhang Liang said with a bow.

Princess Pingyang was pleasantly surprised and said: "railway ferry, I didn't expect that there was such a magical thing. If so, the railway construction in the South can be accelerated. "

" so now you don't have to worry. " Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Princess Pingyang answered and turned back to the queue.

Instead of asking Zhang Liang to go back, Xiao Ming continued to ask, "how is the construction of the imperial shipyard?"

"Back to the emperor, at present, 60% of the large shipyards in beishacheng, Dengzhou, Jinling, songjiangkou, Lin'an, Fuzhou and Guangzhou have been completed, and a total of 42 shipyards can be put into operation. All of these shipyards have the ability to build armored ships. In addition, according to the requirements, 65 small and medium-sized shipyards can be put into operation by the end of this year, with the ability to build small and medium-sized commercial steam ships The ability of ships. " Zhang Lianghui reports.Xiao Ming is satisfied with this data. Today, the Empire basically has no enemies on land. The most important task at present is to control global trade routes, because sea power is extremely important.

For this reason, he allocated a lot of money to build a shipyard and cultivate shipbuilding talents.

"In this case, from next year, shipyards will be able to build commercial steamships and sell them to the merchants of the Empire. The Empire has invested a lot of money in shipyards these years, and now it's time to recover it." Xiao Ming said.

"Yes, Emperor." Zhang Liang answered yes.

After listening to three people's reports, Xiao Ming looks at Yang Chengye and asks him questions about the industry, commerce, factories and banks of the Empire. There is no need to ask all kinds of responsible persons separately.

Noticing Xiao Ming's eyes, Yang Chengye comes out with a thick report in his hand.

Looking at the other ministers with a little apology, he said, "my report may be a little longer, so I'll try my best to speed it up."

Clearing his throat, he said: "at present, Qingzhou bank has officially changed its name to the imperial central bank, and the functions of the imperial central bank have been clarified. From now on, all banks in the Empire will be subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial central bank."
