When Gao Fangping walked into the middle hall slowly, the other people had strange faces, but Lao Cai smiled and said, "Xiao Gao, come on, sit down." ”

After Gao Fangping sat down, he flipped through the newspaper in front of him and looked at it, and it was indeed about some questions about the so-called "feasibility of the railway". This is a questioning document submitted by the three major heads of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War together, and it's menacing.

Uncle Zhang's expression was ambiguous, it seemed that Lao Zhang didn't care about this, but it seemed that because he didn't know that it was the railway, he did take the doubts raised by the three ministries and commissions seriously.

Cai Jing twisted his beard and smiled: "Earlier, because your invention and your work have always been magical and trustworthy, the topic of railways has been heated for a long time. It's just that I always feel that everyone is in the same cloud at that time, only knowing the magic, and not seeing the real benefits and roles. ”

At this point, Lao Cai stopped and took a sip of tea, and inadvertently glanced at He Zhizhong, one of the Standing Committee members.

At this point, Gao Fangping felt very bad, knowing that these guys had started to pull calves again. If nothing else, it is already certain that they not only want to talk about feng shui, but also talk about the "superstition" that Gao Fangping is criticizing.

And this time, there are actually three ministries and commissions that dare to jump out, and it must be that He Zhizhong, the right secretary of the Shangshu and the secretary of the Ministry of War, is opposed to this issue. This old dog must have involved his greater interests this time, and he finally spoke up, who had always bitten people silently.

Gao Fangping also understood what Lao Cai meant, and after Lao Cai spoke, he glanced at He Zhizhong ambiguously, just to remind Gao Fangping: This time it's not me Lao Cai and you who are against you, don't come to me to pull hatred.

While thinking about it, the others were not angry, and Lao Cai continued: "Now that the matter is coming, you are about to enter Chengdu, and you are about to carry out this legendary Tianlu project." But don't blame us for questioning here, in this mega-project that is about to unfold, how can you ensure that you can build the Heavenly Road on the difficult Shu Road, and not become a failed project? Even if it does, how do you make sure that there is a market and that it really works? The tens of thousands of displaced people from Cangzhou are about to be transferred to the 'railway soldiers' under your opinion, which is a precedent that our dynasty has never had. There are countless budgets, security and other issues at stake, so Kodaka, you can't blame the Ministry of War for worrying about this. ”

This further points out that He Zhizhong is jumping, Gao Fangping pursed his lips and said lazily: "I'm sure." ”

"You ......" Uncle Zhang, who didn't plan to speak, couldn't stand him a little, knocked on the table and said: "Put your set away, this is not your Chengdu Mansion Road camp, but Zhongshu, you know, your hooligan method can't be used here, at least not now." ”

After being scolded, Gao Fangping had to restrain himself a little, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I have to shout hello for your doubts, it's normal to have doubts." After all, no one has ever seen a railroad now, and the so-called usefulness is also what I say with my mouth. If I just say that the railway is good, then everyone will build the railway with me. Isn't that Lin Lingsu, who is good with Shenxiao Palace, and the world has built Shenxiao Wanshou Palace all the way, right? ”

Zhang Shuye and Cai Jing couldn't help but look at each other.

Liang Zhongshu is heartless, he cares about the railway, just as he doesn't care about the Shenxiao Longevity Palace that is being built in various parts of the Yangtze River. In the eyes of Lao Liang, an old fox, whether it is Lin Lingsu who launched the construction of Wanshou Palace or Gao Fangping who launched the construction of the railway, it is a model: making money, gaining prestige, fishing for the team, and fishing for believers.

So Lao Liang doesn't care about any project, only cares about the political climate, he is observing how deep everyone's doubts about Pork Ping are, and how confident Pork Ping is?

As for the officials from several other ministries who came to attend the meeting, they all lowered their heads and drank tea.

The scene paused for a while, and Lao Liang's father didn't understand what was going on for the time being, so he decided not to speak. Continue to wait and see what happens.

In Gao Fangping's view, Uncle Zhang's participation this time is "reasonable questioning" by Lao Zhang. Although he trusts Gao Fangping, this so-called heavenly road uses too much people's power in the concept, the project is too big, and the time is too long. The follow-up work involved in such a matter involves the relocation and resettlement of households, which is very complicated. The most direct thing is: Lao Zhang still doesn't know what the railway is and how much of a role it can play.

As for Cai Jing, Gao Fangping understands that he is an old slippery head. Earlier, he let go of politics and didn't want to seize power. But this time, it was obvious that the Southeast Department and the Taoist priests intervened again and gave the emperor some bad guidance. Then there was Ho Zhizhong pushing for this opposition proposal.

The current Lao Cai can indeed do no matter what Gao Fangping does, but there is a problem that once the climate is formed that makes the emperor confused, and the emperor takes the initiative to ask Lao Chang, the prime minister, some questions, Lao Cai is not clear about the essence, so he will come and invite Gao Fangping to drink tea here.

Don't think about it, now Lin Lingsu, who ran back to his hometown, he is still a golden feather door guest walking in front of the emperor, he must have used various feng shui terms in this matter to tell the emperor a lot, fooling the emperor is not a good thing.

Secondly, Cai Bian wrote a book to help the emperor form questions on issues such as people's livelihood and people's strength, protractedness, and unclear role. Then He Zhizhong, an old fellow, led the military department to jump out and made a lot of slander on the issue of the establishment and safety of the "railway soldiers".

Moreover, these people are now clever in their methods, and they don't dare to talk about Gao Fangping directly, but instead talk about things under the Zhongshu Gate.

If they change people, they will be tricked from the aspect of "conspiring to embezzle, work and lose money" of the project sponsors. But they didn't dare to deal with Gao Fangping, so they turned this matter into a national policy of "poor consideration under the Chinese book".

There is only one reason for the appearance of this moth, Lin Lingsu, Cai Bian, and He Zhizhong have always been favored ministers.

So after the emperor was fooled to a certain extent, in view of the decline in Cai Jing's prestige now, the emperor would really go to drink tea with Lao Cai in a responsible tone. Damn, Lao Cai is still a prime minister, he went to the emperor's side to withstand a thunderbolt, and naturally Gao Fangping was not at ease, and was invited to Zhongshu for tea.

During this period, Gao Fangping was always thinking about it, not saying a word, but he basically thought about the causes and consequences of this moth.

Uncle Zhang frowned, stretched out his hand and shook his eyes in front of Gao Fangping and said, "Xiao Gao is talking?" ”

"There's nothing to say." Gao Fang flattened his hand.

Lao Zhang suddenly frowned and said, "Why are you ...... like this?"

Gao Fangping knocked on the table and interrupted: "I'm like this." Let's put it this way, I know that once this scene happens, whatever I say here will definitely be denied and useless. If it's something that can be turned around, you will inform me in advance, and the Taishi will communicate with me privately, right? Now that I've reached the formal discussion under the Zhongshu Gate, I really know about this pill. ”

Lao Cai was a little embarrassed, but he also smiled and thought, you kid is self-aware.

Uncle Zhang Ye was stunned and said: "So is it really like this, the topic of the railway thrown out before is just a joke for you?" ”

Gao Fangping said: "No. If you don't repair it, I will repair it myself, and the Ministry of Industry, Household and Military Affairs will not support it, and I have the ability to complete this project myself. ”

I'm @#¥

Lao Cai, Lao Zhang, Lao Liang, and He Zhizhong were shocked together, and said in unison: "Are you making a mistake again?" ”

Gao Fangping took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "I'm really confused." Words put here, I am more happy that the book does not support me. Why? The cannibalistic mouth is short, and if I really implicate the ministries and commissions on this issue, I will cry blindly, and I have to face a group of Bianjing bureaucrats pointing fingers all day long, isn't this the truth? But if I do it myself, everything will be quiet. ”

“……”

Lao Cai and Lao Zhang looked at each other, really speechless to him.

The helpless thing is that in this way, there is really no way for anyone to take pork flat, and in principle, the subordinates of Zhongshu really have no right to direct the local state capital to do it.

Gao Fangping's appointment of "Judgment Chengdu Mansion" has become a holy decree, so he, the first general in the southwest border, is not a subordinate of Zhongshumen, but is directly responsible to Zhao Ji. Zhongshu only supervised Gao Fangping on behalf of Zhao Ji, and after Gao Fangping made a mistake and caused a big disaster, he could use the right of second judgment to say: Because you have a big accident in repairing the railway, you are not allowed to repair it in the future.

That's the rule.

Therefore, as long as Gao Fangping does not ask the central government for money, they will cry blindly, and they really can't say "you are not allowed to build a railway in Chengdu". If it's so simple, Gao Fangping has already ordered Hangzhou to "not build Taoist temples".

"Now you know that my pork is flat, right?" Gao Fangping smiled at this Standing Committee again, "You are all afraid of me, and you want to get me out of the capital to be out of sight and out of mind." I promised to go to Chengdu? What else can you do with me? If you don't want me to build the railway, you can resist the decree and save me from judging Chengdu Fu Road, of course I can't build it if I'm not the governor of Chengdu. However, in that case, you will be even more miserable, so I will stay in this capital YY, and by the way, poke your eyes all day long to see who is afraid of whom? ”

Lao Liang is most afraid that the Chinese book waiter will be unstable in his life, so he wants to drive this half of his son out of Beijing, at least let your old Liang father and I be a Chinese book for a full term, right? So now listening to this calf frantically using this problem to fry cold rice, Liang Zhongshu immediately spoke very loyally: "I think the railway is a great power and must be built. ”

Uncle Zhang wanted to kick Liang Zhongshu to death, because Lao Liang obviously "Although I don't know what the railway is, it should be very powerful, so I support it", this kind of mallet sitting in Zhongshu is also drunk.

Lao Zhang hesitated: "The question is, why do you want to build this railway that has not yet known the effect?" Thousands of miles of roads, paved with iron, it makes people feel horrible to think about it, and such resources are ......."

Gao Fangping interrupted with his fists again: "Xianggong, boy, I have to be willful again." In fact, this is not the occasion to be reasonable, just in a word, I must practice. Cai Bian can build the Shenxiao Wanshou Palace in the southeast, and also bring up the atmosphere of the whole country, why can't I build a railway in Chengdu Mansion? So be it. Who is going to ask me what does the railway do? I've decided not to answer you, I'll go and ask first what is the purpose of building the Shenxiao Longevity Palace? In fact, one thing is certain, the official family will not casually question Lin Lingsu and Cai Bian's Taoist temple, will they casually question me to build the railway? Lin Lingsu They dare to brag about the Taoist temple is extremely magical, and if you brag, I am afraid of who will come. Can't I describe the meaning of the railway to the official family as a growing city and a long dragon? The official likes big and new things, and he will understand me. ”

Cai Jing laughed and said, "Xiao Gao, don't jump when you touch it, you can't say anything." Since it is not a national policy, the old man thinks that this is just an attempt and exploration by the local government, and there is no need to discuss it under the Chinese book, so he will veto the proposal of the three ministries and commissions. ”

After saying that, he got up, Lao Cai looked like he had shaken off, signed the document and left. So this is really not a national policy, but just a local affair.

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty are very good, the law is quite simple, and everything can be done if the law does not prohibit it. So now no one really cares about it, Gao Fangping is tossing something. It is said that all the family backgrounds of the Great Song Dynasty are all made up by Gao Fangping without laws and regulations.

These guys are chasing and intercepting my pork in a different way, how can they succeed so easily, they can't stop the big demon king from advancing.

Speaking of which, Gao Fangping himself calculated that the central government did not want to support it, and if Chengdu tightened its belt, it should be able to carry it by itself.

If Gao Fangping adopts other models and releases the project in the form of a contracted section, and lets profiteers from all over the country bid for the project and train it to be repaired, the cost will be lower and faster.

It's just that Gao Fangping can't use this model in this project, because it is a complete American sweatwork project. Profiteers from all sides will push down prices in order to win the bid, but in order to balance the costs, they will cut corners.

At worst, a large group of slave-like workers will be created under their command, and the wages will be kept to a minimum.

The wages of the workers would not be too high under any government, but too low and too high for Fang Ping to accept, because it would be completely unbeneficial, and it would be another accelerated exploitation and concentration of wealth, which would be detrimental to the overall economy of the country. Quite simply, if the workers have no money and no accumulation, there will be no real towns along the railway, and there will be no real economy, because the workers cannot afford to consume, and the places where they do not consume are not called "cities".

This is the reason why capital cannot be left without it, but it cannot be completely laissez-faire. The attribute of government is to protect the people's livelihood, while the attribute of capital is to merge and make money and exploit, so in the ultimate form, these two things will eventually conflict. There is always something to compromise, if the king wins or loses, and if capital has the upper hand and dominates, it is capitalism. If the government has the upper hand, it is socialism.

Therefore, even if the cost of this project is higher, Gao Fangping does not dare to let capital control the field, and the state-owned enterprises and the government must control the field.

Otherwise, in order to balance the cost after winning the bid, there is no surprise in terms of the urine properties of sharks like Guan Qi, he can really drive a 10,000-ton ship to African ports or other ports, and import all kinds of black, green, and brown slaves to be used as labor.

Of course, this can make the empire rise the fastest, in fact, the Western developed countries in the future are like this, the ghoul rises, but when the project is completed one day, this group of people can't really be killed, and people don't want to go back, and they take root. As a result, the social catastrophe of the ghouls of later generations was formed.

Therefore, the cost of the project is a secondary issue, and the household registration, personnel structure, and labor structure involved are the most important, and the government must control the field in it.
