After the military and political affairs were settled, these matters were all handed over to the Cabinet and the Privy Council for handling.
During this time, Li Xin also had plenty of free time.
Aside from his daily life in the palace with Empress Ning Xiaoqian, Consort Lan Bai Fenglan, and a host of other concubines, Li Xin would spend his time in his room studying the knowledge contained within the intelligent technology.
Intelligent technology is like a library hidden in your mind, full of knowledge, like an encyclopedia.
Today, the development achievements of our country are almost entirely due to intelligent technology.
During this period, Li Xin also used smart technology to transform some knowledge into the language of this era and record it into books.
He instructed his servants to make several copies of the recorded books, and then sent all of them to the Da Gan National Academy of Sciences.
At the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a group of researchers, including Wang Zheng, will conduct research in different categories.
Many hands make light work!
Many hands make light work!
With these researchers, the country's scientific and technological development will flourish!
Besides researching smart technologies, Li Xin is also pondering the national railway construction plan.
After three or four years of development, the railway construction in Dagang has laid a solid foundation.
The main artery connecting Beijing to Songjiang Prefecture in the south has been completed and opened to traffic.
In addition, the main artery connecting the capital city to Dongning City to the east, as well as the branch artery leading south from Shenzhou City to Silla Province, have been completed.
In addition, the railway line from Beijing westward through Xuanfu, Yunzhong, Shuofang and other places is also nearing completion.
The railways heading south from the capital to Zhili Province, Heluo Province, and Huguang Province are also nearing completion.
The railway from Lingnan Province northward to Huguang has also entered the later stages of construction.
In recent years, the railway construction in Dagang Country has been in full swing and progressed rapidly!
However, Li Xin was still somewhat dissatisfied with the current situation.
It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but Li Xin's plans are far-reaching and his ambitions are grand!
The current railway mileage is still far too little!
During this period, they conquered the grasslands, the Western Regions, the snowy plateau, and the Eastern Seas, capturing a large number of prisoners.
Most of the prisoners were engaged in city construction, mining, and other activities in various places.
However, city construction doesn't take too long.
Mining doesn't require many people.
Even though a large number of prisoners were still building cement roads in various places, there was still a large amount of labor left.
It would be a waste not to make good use of these people.
Therefore, nowadays, a large number of prisoners have been mobilized for the construction of cement roads, water conservancy facilities, mining, and railways throughout the country.
With these prisoners of war, various construction projects could proceed vigorously and rapidly.
Now, Li Xin has issued an edict ordering the mobilization of another batch of prisoners to various regions to accelerate railway construction.
Currently, the country's high-quality steel production is more than sufficient for railway construction. Furthermore, with the availability of special railway construction bonds and the involvement of commercial banks, funding is plentiful.
Therefore, Li Xin decided to launch a large-scale railway construction project.
As the name suggests, the large-scale railway construction campaign aims to accelerate the construction of railways across the country over a prolonged period.
According to Li Xin's plan, there will be five vertical and five horizontal lines initially.
Centered on the capital, the first vertical line runs south to Songjiang Prefecture.
Starting from the capital, the route extends south through Zhili, Heluo, and Huguang, reaching Lingnan City, forming the second longitudinal line.
Starting from Yunzhong City, it extends north to Yunyan City, south through Datong, Hedong Province, Heluo City, and Jingzhou City, and then to Guiling Province, forming the third vertical line.
Starting from Qingzhou, the line extends south through Longxi City and Shuzhong, reaching Dianchi City, forming the fourth longitudinal line.
Starting from Chenzhou City, it extends south to Andong, Xinluo, and Weizhou City, and north to Heongjiang Province and Sanjiang Province, extending to the Lingbei area, forming the fifth longitudinal line.
Starting from Dongning City, the route passes through Chenzhou City, the capital city, Xuanfu, Yunzhong City, Qingzhou City, and Longxi City, forming the first horizontal line.
Starting from Haizhou City, the route passes through Xuzhou, Heluo City, Qinzhou, and Longxi City, extending to Suzhou, Ganzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou, Xizhou, and the Western Regions, forming the second horizontal line.
Starting from Songjiang Prefecture, the route passes through Jiangning, Ma'anshan, Anqing, and Huguang, extending to Sichuan Province, and then westward to the Tibetan Plateau, forming the third horizontal line.
Starting from Songjiang Prefecture, the route passes through Qiantang City, Ganjiang River, Huguang (Hubei and Hunan), central Guizhou, Dianchi Lake, and other places, forming the fourth horizontal line.
Starting from Lingnan City, it extends eastward to Minyue and Qiantang, and westward to Guiling and Dianchi, forming the fifth horizontal line.
The five vertical and five horizontal lines represent the overall railway network plan of Dagang State and also its main railway trunk lines.
In addition, Li Xin also planned some smaller branch lines, such as the branch line extending from Longxi City to the snowy plateau, and the branch line connecting Minyue and Ganjiang, etc.
This is a very large-scale project.
Therefore, Li Xin formulated a plan for a large-scale construction project, expecting to dedicate five to ten years to its construction.
With a large number of prisoners of war and sufficient steel and funds, this plan can be completed quickly.
It should be noted that the number of prisoners gathered in Daqian Kingdom from various places alone was nearly one million.
Imagine the grandeur and magnificence of a million prisoners of war simultaneously starting construction projects across the country.
However, a million prisoners of war alone is still too few.
After all, the construction plan for the five vertical and five horizontal railways, as well as some branch lines, is still very large, and the amount of work is too great.
Moreover, while the railway was being built, telegraph lines were being laid simultaneously, and nearby cement roads were being constructed, increasing the workload day by day.
Therefore, Li Xin chose to take five to ten years to complete the entire plan!
As for the shortage of prisoners of war, we can bring in more prisoners from other places later!
Yes!
It would be a good idea to bring prisoners from other places!
It's important to know that there are many unstable areas surrounding the Great Gan Kingdom.
Especially in the Western Regions, although the steppe bandits and the Saman Khanate were successively taken over by the Daqian Kingdom, the Golden Horde and the Black Horde, which were closely connected to the steppe bandits and the Saman Khanate, still frequently threatened the borders of the Western Regions in the area west of the Western Regions.
It seems that conquering these areas should be put on the agenda in a timely manner!
After the spring of the sixth year of Yan Ning, Li Xin also came to the Privy Council to begin making arrangements for this western expedition plan.
Another powerful war plan is gradually emerging.
