Even though he knew very well, the steam engine would most likely not be available in a short period of time.

In his previous life, from the Frenchman Babi invented the first piston steam engine in 1960, until the mechanic Watt improved the steam engine and was able to use the steam engine in the cotton textile industry. Human beings began to enter the "steam era", which took nearly a hundred years.

During this process, I don’t know how many scientists have studied and transformed the steam engine.

The steam engine developed by Li Goudan according to his vision has a condenser, connecting rod, flywheel and centrifugal speed controller, which is equivalent to a dual-action steam engine manufactured by the Yin Guoren Watt in 1782. Although this steam engine has become mature, the production system of the steam engine is composed of a power machine, a transmission and a working machine.

It’s okay to say that the transmission is a field that Li Goudan and others have not yet covered.

To widely use steam engines into production, this great difficulty needs to be overcome.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help much in these aspects.

This should have been invented in the long production development, which was studied and accumulated experience by countless people.

What he can do is to gather people from all over the world who have research on physics, machinery and kinetic energy to see if this process can be accelerated.

This requires luck.

In his previous life, in 1785, steam engines were used in the cotton textile industry and were quickly promoted to other industrial industries.

However, the first steamship, the Clermont, was only built in 1807.

The first train locomotive was not invented until 1825.

The emergence of railways was even later, and the first railway did not appear until 1830.

Zhao Dongting has made outstanding achievements in his cultivation and governance, but technology can only be left to fate.

After all, he is not omnipotent. As a student who graduated from the history department, he was able to invent grenade launchers, etc., and probably remember the structure of the steam engine, which is quite rare.

After discussing with Chen Wenlong, Zhao Dongting decided to postpone the movement of the capital for five years.

If Li Goudan and others did not allow the steam engine to be successfully used in industrial production within five years, they would move the capital to the next level.

Anyway, all the northern grasslands have surrendered now, and in the north, there is no threat to the Song Dynasty.

At this time, the Tsar's fighting country was far from enough to compete with the Song Dynasty.

Chen Wenlong had no objection to Zhao Dongting's decision, but supported it instead.

He said: "In fact, the old ministers always thought that moving the capital was slow or not urgent. The Song Dynasty has been conquering many years. Although the economy has developed rapidly in recent years, its foundation is still weak. Moving the capital at this time is useless and the people are in trouble, which is likely to delay the development of the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Dongting was stunned when he heard him say this, and then said, "Then why did you mention it before?"

Chen Wenlong smiled bitterly, "Master, when have you ever fought an unprepared battle?"

Zhao Dongting suddenly felt a little amused and crying.

It turned out that Chen Wenlong and others trusted him too much. They always thought that he had his own ideas for everything he did.

In fact, he is just a mortal. There will always be times when he thinks about problems.

For example, the foundation of the Song Dynasty was unstable, so he did not see this problem very clearly.

In recent years, Zhao Dongting has been "taken carelessly".

He sighed softly, "Then let's spend these five years vigorously developing the economy of our Song Dynasty!"

He also wants to make the treasury fuller faster.

After all, there will definitely be more money when you need to use money in the future.

In the Industrial Revolution, it must be burned. This money must be paid by the treasury.

Zhao Dongting didn't want to do slave trades, so he wanted to make money, so he had to vigorously develop the economy of the Song Dynasty.

Of course, in terms of resources, the Song Dynasty definitely has no problem.

At present, the indigenous people from all continents have never made any decisions, but he is not polite to the mineral resources and other continents.

I chatted with Chen Wenlong in the imperial study until very late, and Zhao Dongting asked Chen Wenlong to go back.

He himself was a little tired.

Compared with physical labor, mental labor often makes people feel more exhausted.

No matter how profound your cultivation is, you can't stop it.

When he returned to the harem, there was still light in Lechan's room.

Zhao Dongting walked directly into Le Chan's room.

Le Chan hasn't been asleep yet and is waiting for him. When she saw him coming in, she asked, "What makes you so tired?"

After the two have been together for many years, she can already feel any changes in Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, smelled her hair fragrance, and said, "I decided to move the capital again in a few years, and develop the economy of the Song Dynasty first in the past few years. Until now, there are still many people in the Song Dynasty who cannot eat and survive hard in corners that we cannot see. This is a responsibility that I cannot shirk."

Le Chan sighed softly when she heard this, "Why are you so tired?"

She raised her head and gently smoothed Zhao Dongting's frown, "You have done a lot for the people of the Song Dynasty. In recent years, everyone has lived countless times better than the previous displaced life, right?"

She really feels sorry for Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting looked at her, but suddenly remembered the scene when the two of them first met, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't want to call me a dog emperor anymore."
