The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

"Host, rest assured. The system will automatically arrange the train and personnel for you. Please choose your route as soon as possible."

The system replied.

Hearing this, Ning Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that there would be a railway but no trains, which would be troublesome.

"Okay, let's talk about the railway first. The first one is the line from Pingdingshan to Tangshan."

"The second route is from Anshan to Tangshan, and the third route is from Tangshan to Dongying."

"The combined mileage of these three routes should be enough, right?"

Ning Quan finished speaking and then asked

"Reporting to the host, after calculating the mileage, there are still 57 kilometers left."

"Fifty-seven kilometers left?"

"Then let's build another railway from Yanjing to Langfang for these 57 kilometers."

After thinking about it, Ning Quan said.

The decision to build the Yanjing to Langfang railway was mainly based on the future need to connect with Tianjin.

As an important place for defending Yanjing and a coastal defense gateway, Tianjin must strengthen its ties with Yanjing.

Therefore, building a railway is necessary.

But there are 130 kilometers from Yanjing to Tianjin, and the remaining distance is definitely not enough.

Langfang is located between Yanjing and Tianjin, so we should build the railway to Langfang first, and then connect it when Daqian is able to build the railway itself in the future.

"Okay." said the system.

"Okay, then let's add the line from Yanjing to Langfang. This way it won't be a waste." Ning Quan smiled with satisfaction.

“Okay, what about the road arrangements?”

The system continued to ask.

"The first highway runs from Yanjing to Tangshan, and the second runs from Tangshan to Caofeidian."

"The third route runs from Dongying via Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Taizhou, Quanzhou, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, Shantou all the way to Guangzhou."

Ning Quan said immediately.

"Host, the mileage is insufficient. It exceeds 700 kilometers."

The system reminded.

"I know it's not enough. You just need to prioritize the first and second highways."

"For the third highway, you can build as far as you can along the route. I will build the rest myself."

"Can."

"All routes have been planned, please confirm."

"confirm!"

"Confirmed successful, system under construction, estimated time is ten minutes, host, please wait."

Soon, the cold mechanical voice of the system was heard.

Hearing this, Ning Quan was suddenly shocked.

He will soon have railways and roads.

With joy in his heart, Su Ran hurried to the Grand Council to tell Zhuge Liang and others the good news.

At the same time, along the planned route, rails were laid rapidly, stretching like a long dragon.

Stations and bridges are rising from the ground.

The same goes for roads, which were built quickly, crossing mountains and building bridges over rivers.

The whole process is as simple and fast as drawing on a computer or playing the Railroad Tycoon game.

The people living along the railways and highways were also stunned by this sudden and drastic change.

Local officials also received reports and immediately rushed to the railways and highways to check.

.........

"Your Majesty, from what you just said, this train is truly a magical object. How can it transport so much cargo?"

In the capital, inside the Grand Council.

After listening to Ning Quan's introduction, Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up and he exclaimed.

He hadn't expected that there existed such a magical object that could carry hundreds or even thousands of tons of cargo at a time. It was simply incredible.

"Of course, so we must vigorously develop railways in the future, so as to revitalize our Daqian."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Well, if that's the case, it is."

"Your Majesty, what about the highway? Is the highway you are talking about the same as the official road we built?"

Liu Bowen suddenly interrupted.

"Haha, my dear, you only guessed half right. This is a modern asphalt road, not the dirt road we built. It's wider and travels faster."

"When we have cars in the future, it will only take half a day to get from Gaoyang to Yanjing."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

"So fast?"

Liu Bowen was surprised.

The others also widened their eyes when they heard this.

Half a day? That's too much.

It normally takes a month to travel from Gaoyang to Yanjing, but now it only takes half a day?

"Your Majesty, do these railways and roads need maintenance and management?"

Jia Xu asked sharply.

"Of course, these railways and roads need to be maintained and managed, especially with regard to safety, so that they are not dug up or demolished by uninformed people, which would be very troublesome."

Ning Quan said affirmatively.

"I understand. I will make the arrangements."

Zhuge Liang nodded and spoke immediately.

"Yes, it needs to be arranged immediately."

"Highways are easy to build. Just like our official roads, we can build a post station every fifty miles and then station soldiers there to take charge of daily patrols and maintenance."

"Railways are more complicated. In addition to building post stations every fifty miles like roads, they also require dedicated personnel to manage and operate them."

"This job requires professionals. I think we should assign a few dozen senior engineers to it. No one else can handle it."

"Let them manage it for a year or two first, and train some talents along the way, so they can take charge on their own in the future."

Ning Quan pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Your Majesty is wise, this is a good idea."

Zhuge Liang praised.

"Okay, in that case, let's do it this way. You turn around and get started right away."

"In particular, we must immediately notify local authorities and require all counties to ensure the safety of the railways and roads along the route, and that no one is allowed to sabotage them."

"The minister obeys the order."

Zhuge Liang said respectfully.

"Also, there is one more thing."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"This time, I not only got railways and roads, but also seven factories."

"Seven factories, Your Majesty, this is a great thing."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang was overjoyed.

"Yes, it is indeed a good thing. These seven factories will definitely further promote our development."

"I have decided to place these factories in Luanzhou."

"I will go to Luanzhou later, the sooner the better."

"Military Advisor, please come with me. Luanzhou is now home to most of our factories. Its importance is undeniable and we absolutely cannot afford to lose anything. Therefore, I would like to ask you to take charge of Luanzhou and be responsible for the management and coordination of all affairs."

Ning Quan said.

"I accept your order!"

Liu Bowen bowed quickly and said.

"Okay, then Luanzhou will be handed over to you from now on."

"There's another matter, which is about moving the capital."

"Your Majesty, are you planning to move the capital?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bowen and others were surprised.

"Well, I have this plan."

Ning Quan nodded.

"Your Majesty, moving the capital is no small matter and requires careful planning."

"I wonder where Your Majesty wants to move the capital?"

Liu Bowen continued to ask.

"I plan to move to Yanjing." Ning Quan said lightly.

"Yanjing?!"

"Oh, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bowen reacted immediately.

Yanjing is an important city in the north and its geographical location is very important.

In addition, Yanjing is not far from Luanzhou and Anshan, both of which are future industrial centers. From a development perspective, moving the capital to Yanjing is obviously very appropriate.
