Cui Xueer was surprised to see her father standing in front of her.

When she came back to her senses, her tears suddenly burst into her eyes. She had never seen her father since she entered the palace. Now when father and daughter met, they were sad.

Xiao Ming stands behind the king of Huainan. After the court breaks up, he takes the king of Huainan to the palace. This trip to Qingzhou is just the beginning. When these vassal kings go back, they still have to see their specific actions. Therefore, Xiao Ming is not careless. He still wants to play the emotional card in the face of the strongest of the three kings.

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

When he was just an ordinary man, he used to like to fight and kill casually, but since he became an emperor, he was more and more afraid to fight easily.

For him, unless a matter must be solved by war, he would not easily start a war. After all, the saying that "although a country is big, it will die if it likes to fight" was not casually said by the ancients.

"Minister, see your concubine." Huainan Wang was also a little excited, but he tried to suppress his emotions and saluted Cui Xueer.

Cui Xueer was stunned for a moment, and then realized that they were no longer a simple father daughter relationship. Now his father had to call her Princess.

With a slight sigh in her heart, Cui Xueer said, "the king of Huainan is free."

Hearing this, the king of Huainan dared to get up.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming said, "the king of Huainan doesn't have to be polite. Although Xueer is now a royal concubine, she is also your daughter. If you have any words, just say it as a father and daughter."

Realizing that it was his own existence that made the king of Huainan unable to let go, he said: "Qian Dafu, you accompany your concubine out of the palace today, and let the king of Huainan and his concubine go to Cui Shangan's house for a few days. It's rare for the king of Huainan to come to Qingzhou, and he can't come back in a bad mood."

"Yes, Emperor." Qian Dafu answered, Cui Xueer and Huainan Wang also showed a smile, this time their family can finally be reunited.

After talking about this, Xiao Ming went to the imperial study. He just said that he was not shirking something, but that she saw Princess Pingyang going to the imperial study.

Turning to leave, Xiao Ming went to the imperial library, when Princess Pingyang had just arrived.

When she saw Xiao Ming, Princess Pingyang said, "congratulations to the emperor for the double happiness."

"Double happiness? How can we have double happiness? "

Xiao Ming smiles. Now he is more and more identify with Princess Pingyang, because no matter from the secret guard or his observation, Princess Pingyang has been working hard to repair the railway.

He naturally agreed with such a willing aunt.

After getting familiar with Xiao Ming, Princess Pingyang, while in awe of the imperial power, also mastered the skills of getting along with Xiao Ming. She jokingly said, "one of these is the smooth reduction of the vassal state. Since then, there have been three less vassal kings in the state of Chongqing. The second is that the railways in Qingzhou, Laiwu, Dengzhou and Kaiping will soon be open to traffic. Isn't that a double happiness?"

"Open to traffic? "Xiao Ming asked pleasantly," really

"I dare not joke with the emperor about this. According to the emperor's plan, we will complete the opening of these three railways by the end of this year. We are just ahead of schedule." Princess Pingyang said, "however, this is due to the slaves provided by the emperor and the sufficient spare parts of the iron and steel workshop."

Xiao Ming nodded slightly. Now it's winter, and unconsciously another year is about to pass.

In this year, although the key event was the expulsion of the barbarians, the industry and construction of Dayu state were in progress, and the railway was 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 look for all kinds of large mines.

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

in addition, the iron and steel workshop, the steam engine workshop and the machinery workshop were all adding production lines, and three large shipbuilding workshops were added along the coast.

These shipbuilding workshops are different from the backward manual workshops before, but a large number of steam power is used, and some special machinery and equipment for shipbuilding workshops have begun to settle in.

Since the advent of steam powered warships, the idea of armored warships has been hovering in his mind. These mechanized shipbuilding workshops are just for the construction of steam powered armored warships.

"Good! Good! Good Xiao Ming said three good words in a row. He got up and went to the map of the imperial study. Three railway lines were marked on the map.

These three lines are not straight lines, but curved, like earthworms. In the construction planning, the key area of the railway is the mining area, so it has such a shape.

"Once it is opened to traffic, the three places will be connected into a line. From then on, the cities along the railway will no longer have to worry about coal and iron. In this way, the industrial area of Qingzhou Prefecture can be expanded." Xiao Ming's hands trembled excitedly.

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

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

The state of Dayu is not Britain. The distance from the south to the north, that is, the north and south of Qingzhou Prefecture, is very difficult to transport resources in this vast country. Relying on the original water transport and carriage transport is far from enough.Therefore, Xiao Ming can only rely on regions rich in resources to build an industrial base. With the industrial base, he can build a national railway to open up the transportation of resources across the country.

If you want to be rich, you need to build roads first. This is not an empty talk. Even in the 21st century, areas with poor transportation are still very poor, because there are no transportation conditions.

Princess Pingyang showed a smile on her face. It was the first time that she was so happy to see Xiao Ming. She said, "but the three railways cost a lot of money from the state treasury."

"No matter how poor you are, you have to fix it." Xiao Ming said firmly, "the task of your railway department has just begun. After these three railways, you are going to build the qingliao Railway on the line of Youzhou, Jinzhou, liaozhou and Raozhou. On the south side, you are going to start from Laizhou, build the Qingjin railway through Xuzhou, huaizhou, Bozhou and Jinling, and then build the railway from Qingzhou to the west to Chang'an, and from Chang'an to Bashu."

Princess Pingyang was stunned when she heard that the project was incredible to her. She said, "emperor, this is not a task that can be completed in a few years."

"Of course I know that. Therefore, this is a long-term plan. I have given you a clear plan for the specific railway route. Whether it is ten years or twenty years, the railway network of Dayu must be built." Xiao Ming's tone is firm.

Feeling Xiao Ming's determination, Princess Pingyang nodded her head and said, "with the emperor's words, the railway department will go all out."

Xiao Ming nodded. The railway network on the map is the route chosen by modern after full demonstration, which saves the railway department a lot of time.

Now what they have to do is to serve as the feeler of the state of Dayu. Where the railway extends, their troops can be quickly deployed.

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