Emperor Chongzhen, who returned to the palace, after drinking the strong tea handed over by Wang Chengen, where was there still a half-drunk appearance, except for the eyes that were a little red because he drank too much wine, the whole person looked extremely energetic.

Facing the gaze cast by Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen bowed down and said: "Emperor Qiqi, at this time, the Tianjin Guard's heart is available, which is very different from before. ”

After a sigh, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "Order people to prepare more cattle and sheep to send them, and remember to let the Duke of Chengguo and the Duke of England transfer a hundred households from Tianjin Weizhong to Beijing to guard the Que." ”

After Wang Chengen bowed down again, Emperor Chongzhen could lie down and rest.

Today, on the school ground, half of it is Emperor Chongzhen's true feelings, and the other half is purely acting.

As for acting, Emperor Chongzhen said that even if I can't get a little golden man, then I have to be an actor like Golden Horse, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers!

Since the fight, Emperor Chongzhen's acting skills have made great progress, and he is no longer just a little fresh meat who was only paralyzed at the beginning - his acting skills are not good enough, he will die on the dragon chair sooner or later, and he still wants to be an emperor for more than ten years?

After sleeping until dawn the next day and eating something simply, Emperor Chongzhen met Wen Tiren, who was already waiting outside the door.

Wen Tiren is really a little worried-in this world, is there a more aggrieved Shoufu than himself?

The emperor drank too much and went crazy, although the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, but can he say that Emperor Chongzhen deliberately pretended to be drunk? As long as Emperor Chongzhen doesn't admit it, who knows if his old man is really drunk or fake?

The point is that the emperor and his old man lost his words after drinking, and the words he said were really terrible!

As soon as he saw Emperor Chongzhen, Wen Tiren bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to issue an edict, last night's incident must not be leaked by the soldiers of the guard, otherwise there will be trouble!" ”

Early in the morning, Emperor Chongzhen, who drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge with only an arm-length prawn, was obviously much more energetic, and after listening to Wen Tiren's words, he smiled directly: "What's wrong with Ming'er tonight?" I'm just accompanying the soldiers for a year, so what can I do if I spread it? ”

Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty said something last night, Your Majesty doesn't remember?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen said curiously: "Oh? What did I say? ”

Wen Tiren was also a little confused - His Majesty was pretending to be it? Or do you really not remember?

After pondering for a long time, Wen Tiren said tentatively: "Your Majesty said yesterday that you would take the soldiers to kill all the barbarians......

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup that had just been sent to him, and after signaling to Wen Tiren, he took a sip and said, "So what?" The big deal is that there will really be barbarians who will rebel, and when the time comes, send a large army to quell the rebellion, so what is there to worry about? ”

Emperor Chongzhen's understatement made Wen Tiren stunned for a moment - what your old man said is so good!

Also counterinsurgency? People are just your foreign vassals, is it really good for you to use the word counterinsurgency?

Without waiting for Wen Tiren to say anything more, Emperor Chongzhen changed his tone and said: "I and you Aiqing have also stayed in Tianjin for a long time, and Sun Zhiqi and others have already been punished, why don't you go back to Beijing in the next few days?" ”

Wen Tiren bowed and said: "When will I return to Beijing, everything depends on Your Majesty, it was just last night?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Wen Tiren still wanted to dwell on last night's affairs, so he put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Wen Aiqing is too worried.

What I said last night, I probably remember some of it, but it's nothing, Wen Aiqing can rest assured.

However, after returning to Beijing this time, I will start to rebuild the Daming Law, I don't know what Wen Aiqing thinks? ”

Wen Tiren had no choice but to give up the idea of letting Emperor Chongzhen issue an edict to block the news, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, it has been nearly three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the laws and regulations are still made by Emperor Taizu Gao, and there are many places that need to be modified.

However, it has changed today, so what should I do? What is suitable for today's law may be for tomorrow's circumstances? Wechen has been thinking about this question, always thinking about how to repair the law this time, so that there is no need to redo it in a hundred and ten years. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said dumbly: "Okay, they all say that I am very happy, and in my opinion, Wen Aiqing is actually the same."

Wen Aiqing might as well think about it, don't say that it is the Hongwu period, that is, all the dynasties and dynasties are counted, can it be the same as my Ming Dynasty?

My Ming Dynasty has a wide territory, from the most border of North Korea to the westernmost Green Mountains, from the northernmost Nuergandusi to the southernmost Myanmar, fast horses day and night, I am afraid that it will take more than ten years, right?

Not to mention that I still have a lot of land overseas, as well as new trains and other things, can I have them in all dynasties? ”

Wen Tiren bowed down and said, "What Your Majesty said is that once this law is established, it cannot be easily changed.

If it is necessary to rebuild it once in three or five years, it will take time and effort not to mention for the time being, what law should the people follow? ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Wen Aiqing's worries are also reasonable, but now, it is very different from previous dynasties, so this law is also different."

In my opinion, it is better to add and change the laws left by Emperor Taizu Gao, use them as the basic laws, and add new laws and regulations on this basis to supplement them.

For example, this civil lawsuit, or this train, and other new things, on the basis of not violating the basic laws, are added and changed, that is, they are rebuilt once in three or five years, but in fact, it is nothing. ”

Wen Tiren muttered: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. It's just that the matter of revising the law has always been very important, and the ministers don't dare to say whether it's okay or not, so why don't they convene the officials in Beijing to discuss it collectively after returning to Beijing? ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "This is okay, I don't dare to hope that this law will be repaired in a while."

There is just one thing, Wen Aiqing must remember - no matter who dares to smoke Fushou ointment, death will not be forgiven; No matter who dares to sell Fushou ointment, I Ling Chi, the three tribes, and the rest of the nine clans will all be sent to exile!

This article is written into the Basic Law, making it an iron law, and my descendants will never change it! ”

Wen Tiren, as the head of the Ming Dynasty, naturally has seen the harm of Fushou ointment, although he has a lot of complaints about Emperor Chongzhen's desire to destroy the three tribes at every turn, but Wen Tiren also understands in his heart that if he does not make a heavy hand, there is no possibility of stopping this thing at all.

Human nature is greedy!

When the silver of the white flowers is placed in front of him, ten or two hundred taels may be able to endure it, and the risk of selling Fushou paste must be considered, but what about one hundred and two million taels? What about ten million taels?

Who can stand it?

Even the original iron tools and grain were sold to Jiannu for silver, not to mention things like Fushou ointment!

I'm afraid that if the saint is in person, he can't help but blush with this lot of silver, who dares to block everyone's financial path and tear him apart!

Not to mention the distance, just those Qiu Ba people in the Ming Dynasty now, all of them are sharpening their knives, looking forward to where they can make some mess to make military achievements, and how can others be exempt from vulgarity?

Forget about selling this thing overseas, Wen Tiren thinks that he is not a decent gentleman, what he has to do is to do his best - the emperor likes to sell this thing to foreigners, so sell it!

But once this thing is sold to Daming in large quantities, what will become of the world of Daming, which makes people feel terrible when they think about it!

It is precisely because of this that Wen Tiren did not object to Emperor Chongzhen's proposal to use heavy punishment to deal with Fushou ointment.

Not only should we use heavy codes in troubled times, but we should also use heavy codes in prosperous times! Killing a small number of unkind bastards is a good thing for the entire Ming Dynasty!

Wen Tiren nodded and responded: "The minister has written it down, but the minister has another thing to tell." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said curiously: "What's the matter?" ”

Wen Tiren said: "Before Weichen came to Tianjin, Hong Chengchou of the Ministry of Railways communicated with Weichen and briefly asked some questions, and I think I will write to Your Majesty in the near future." ”

Emperor Chongzhen took a sip of the teacup, and said vaguely: "Well, go on?" ”

Wen Tiren said: "Now there are gradually some voices among the people, and some people have already petitioned the local government, asking if the railway can be opened to businessmen? ”

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned - didn't this thing have been used by them a long time ago? What are you pressing?

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen's expression was a little confused, Wen Tiren explained: "Your Majesty, although merchants have been allowed to use the railway to transport materials before, it will only be opened when there are particularly large quantities of materials involved in the military government.

In addition, before, only meritorious talents, juren, jinshi and soldiers in the guard station were allowed to take the train, but this train was more used in the military government.

Now the people's voice is looking forward to opening up a gap, can a part of it be set aside for use outside the military government, so that businessmen can also use the railway to transport materials in ordinary times, so that scholars and soldiers can also take it in ordinary times? ”

Emperor Chongzhen put down the teacup in his hand and knocked his fingers on the table.

Let go of an opening, in fact, there is no big problem, sooner or later the railway thing will be opened to the people, they will be pit by the Spring Festival of later generations, not a pit of the Ming Dynasty civil and military officials and people, how to remember the sins they have suffered in later generations?

But there is a very real problem in front of us, if this problem is not solved, the proposal to open the railway or something is simply - the population mobility of the Ming Dynasty is basically close to zero compared to later generations!

Under the yellow register system and the road guide system, there are too many troubles to go far away, and the people are willing to stay in their homes, especially those who have land.

After all, if you go far away, you don't know when you will be able to come back, and even if you are at risk of dying outside, a fool is willing to go far away!

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "It's not impossible to let go of an opening, I have long had this intention, but the people don't have much demand, and the merchants and scholars alone are afraid that a large amount of the railway's capacity will be wasted." ”

Wen Tiren said tentatively: "Why don't you open a few lines first?" For example, the route from Nuergandusi to Shanhaiguan, and the one hidden by Duogansi and Wusi to Shaanxi?

After all, there are a large number of immigrants in these places, and after the line is opened, it is convenient for these people to return to their hometowns to have a look? ”

Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said: "In this way, for the time being, the route from Nuergandusi to Shanhaiguan will be opened, and then a route from Shanhaiguan to Tianjin will be opened, and finally Jinan Mansion, so that the people who have left the fortress can return to their hometowns to visit their relatives."

In addition, another route from Nanjing to the capital will be opened to facilitate the people of the two capitals, and also facilitate the business and material transfer of the businessmen of the two places.

It's just that how often do these lines run trains, and how to set the price, so that the cabinet and Hong Aiqing will have a headache? ”

……

Hong Chengchou, who received Wen Tiren's reply, summoned the leaders of the Ministry of Railways, and then began to discuss in the lobby of the Ministry of Railways: "Let's talk about it, how to determine the price of this train ride?" ”

The big and small officials sitting in the lobby stared at each other, and finally lowered their heads in unison - damn it, what should the big guys say? Who doesn't have a little business at home?!

The price is set high, and the big guys are uncomfortable, and the silver of this ticket must not be included in the cost? No matter how small the mosquito's legs are, they are also a piece of meat!

But it's going to be set low, and after the fact, it turns out that it is a low price set by everyone together, and then take a look, okay, the big guys have a little small business, where will the board go when the time comes?

It's not fucking like hitting the big guys!

Hong Chengchou looked at the group of horses who pretended to be stupid, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it, I don't care about right or wrong, anyway, it's just that we will discuss it first, and in the end, we still have to go through the household department, the cabinet, and Your Majesty." ”

Lou Zhilan, the right attendant, saw that no one had signed, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "According to the opinion of the lower officials, this ticket price should not be booked too high, but it must not be booked too low."

If the order is too high, the voice of opposition from the people must be loud, but if it is set low, it will need to be subsidized by the treasury, and Guo Butang is really unreasonable? ”

Hong Chengchou hummed and said, "In Lou's opinion, how much silver should be appropriate?" ”

Lou Zhilan was also dumb suddenly.

The things that Lou Zhilan said just now were all facts, but from beginning to end, Lou Zhilan didn't bring up much silver at all.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lou Zhilan said tentatively: "Otherwise, the price is based on the distance?" How much silver is in each mile? ”

Hong Chengchou suddenly became interested: "This proposal is good, continue to talk." ”

was praised by Hong Chengchou like this, and Lou Zhilan also came to the spirit: "Xia Guan thinks that you can let people ride horses, start from the capital to Shanhaiguan, calculate the cost on this way, and then convert it to the railway, and the price per mile is the same as the carriage or slightly higher, right?" ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and looked at the other officials: "What about the others?" Are there any other ideas? ”

Cui Yongan, the left waiter, said: "Xiaguan thinks that the price of the train should not be the same as the carriage, but should be slightly lower than the carriage."

After all, how many people and supplies can a train carry at one time? And how many people and supplies can a carriage carry at one time?

When prices are lower, more people choose to take the train, and in general, the expenses are smaller than those of the carriage, and the income is much higher than that of the carriage. ”
