After the meeting ended, the officials soon returned to their respective posts. Their main task was to handle the follow-up handover and offer some guidance to the newly promoted officials.
Luo Chong was busy as well. First, he had Xiao Die lead people in making new official robes, which would be distributed to the officials later.

Meanwhile, Luo Chong was also urging the construction of the Heavy-Haul Railway on the Haidu Line. He hoped that before the founding of the country, this sole heavy-haul railway in the Han Tribe would be operational.
Construction on the Haidu Line Heavy-Haul Railway had begun last summer. It had now been under construction for an entire year, and with another six months, it should be nearly complete by New Year's Day.
The development of the Heavy-Haul Locomotive, however, had turned out to be somewhat simpler than expected.
In fact, several years ago, when the Han Tribe had only just acquired trains, the institute had already conducted feasibility studies on heavy-haul locomotives. If they did not pursue speed, they only needed to enlarge the current Endeavor by more than two times proportionally.
But after accumulating many years of experience in locomotive manufacturing and operation, the Power Research Institute was already capable of producing even better steam-powered locomotives.
Whenever he had nothing else to do, Luo Chong would even run around to the various factories, guiding their research and development. For the Heavy-Haul Locomotive, besides the model enlarged from the Endeavor according to its proportions, Luo Chong had also given them a wooden carving of a High-Speed Rail train's front end—the bullet-shaped kind of
