Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Xin, eager to know what he would say.

“We can set up multiple stations along the route.”

Li Xin said, "At the station locations, multiple tracks will be set up so that slower trains can rest when they arrive at the station. Express trains can use this interval to overtake slower trains at the station."

By fully utilizing the different functions of each station, we can ensure that slower trains avoid faster trains.

"Understood!"

Duan Yongzhi nodded in sudden realization.

Looking at Duan Yongzhi in front of him, Li Xin smiled.

It seems that Duan Yongzhi is not only talented in financial accounting, but also has a knack for railway timetables.

Such talented individuals should be promoted and entrusted with important responsibilities!

Duan Yongzhi,

Li Xin smiled and nodded, saying, "If I were to entrust you with the task of planning train schedules and station locations, could you do it well?"

"ah?"

Duan Yongzhi was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized that His Highness was preparing to entrust him with an important task!

Duan Yongzhi nodded quickly and said, "This humble servant will do his utmost to live up to Your Highness's trust!"

"good!"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you!"

First, we need to build a team, and then we will take charge of the railway operation schedules, planning, and other matters in Dongning and Liaodong.

Moreover, ensuring the smooth operation of the railway and dealing with the various stations along the line is also very complicated.

Regarding the question of how many sites to set up, you can discuss it with Qiao Juncheng.

"clear!"

Duan Yongzhi quickly nodded in agreement.

Li Xin immediately named the new organization.

The new agency in charge of railways was named the Dongning Railway Bureau.

After explaining the railway matter, Li Xin gave Xu Jianyin another round of instructions.

Xu Jianyin,

Li Xin said, "The steam engine can be used not only in railways, but also in other industries."

For example, stone mills used to be pulled by donkeys, but we can replace them with steam engines and build machine mills.

For example, with ships, we could build something that uses a steam engine instead of a sailboat.

For example, we can use a steam engine to replace water power and human power to turn water-powered lathes and hand-cranked lathes into machine lathes.

For example, with horse-drawn carriages, we can use steam engines instead of horsepower.

The steam engine is more than just a steam engine; it is a source of power.

It can be replaced wherever power is needed.

Human, animal, and water power can all be replaced by steam power, so it can be used in a wide range of applications.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Xu Jianyin was stunned by Li Xin's words.

At that moment, a glimmer of light seemed to appear in his mind, and a thought kept lingering.

Instantly, Xu Jianyin's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized.

Li Xin's words were like a wake-up call, opening up Xu Jianyin's mind and giving him a sense of enlightenment.

"Your Highness, I understand!"

Xu Jianyin nodded emphatically and said, "We can now modify all facilities that rely on manpower, animal power, or water power, and replace them with steam engines."

Not only what Your Highness mentioned, but also plows, seed drills, and even harvesters in the fields could be replaced with steam engines!

"Yes, yes!"

Li Xin smiled and nodded; this Xu Jianyin was indeed a talented person.

They realized it so quickly.

"Your Highness,"

Xu Jianyin said excitedly, "Now I understand why His Highness attaches so much importance to the steam engine."

This steam engine was truly a revolutionary invention!

With the steam engine, our era will be completely different!

"Hahaha……"

Li Xin couldn't help but laugh and said, "The future is bright, keep it up!"

It is a landmark product of the Industrial Revolution, naturally because it was the driving force that led the comprehensive development of the Industrial Revolution.

The first industrial revolution: the steam engine.

The Second Industrial Revolution: the internal combustion engine and electricity.

In every industrial revolution, power innovation has been crucial!

Not only Xu Jianyin, but everyone present also suddenly realized the importance of the steam engine.

This naturally led to the thought that if what His Highness and Xu Jianyin had just said were all realized, what kind of scene Dongning would be in?

In the fields, steam-powered plows, steam-powered seed drills, and steam-powered harvesters roared to life.

Steam trains sped along the road.

Steamships sail on the sea.

Inside the workshop, a steam-powered mill was grinding sorghum and wheat flour.

In the spinning mill, steam spinning machines and steam looms are spinning at high speed.

...

The entire Dongning is a world made of steel and machinery!

This is a brand new world!

Everyone was incredibly excited.

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, Li Xin naturally understood what they were thinking.

"The steam engine is very important!"

Li Xin said, "Therefore, the matter of steam engine manufacturing should naturally be given special attention."

I have decided to separate steam engine manufacturing from the Dongning Manufacturing Bureau and establish the Dongning Machinery Bureau, which will be specifically responsible for the production and manufacturing of steam engines, as well as other related machinery and equipment.

Xu Jianyin, you're in charge of this matter!

If you lack any manpower, material resources, or financial resources, please report it!
