At this dusk, Gao Fangping went to Li Qingzhao's courtyard in a low-key manner.

Through the fence, I saw two small chickens running around in the yard, chasing the insects to eat.

Before I even entered, I smelled the aroma of hot pot. It seems that Li Dashen also likes hot pot.

After pushing the door in, Li Qingzhao, who was wearing a green shirt, was serving food in the hot pot. She looked a little thinner than the last time we met.

"You're here." Li Qingzhao looked up and said, "Come now, it means that you are basically decided, and you will go to Chengdu soon." So come and see me in advance? ”

Gao Fangping nodded, sat down and fished in with the chopsticks.

Li Qingzhao slapped him lightly: "Don't worry, it's not ripe yet." ”

Gao Fangping had to put down his chopsticks and said, "I made an appointment to come to you to warm wine and watch the snow when the snow is majestic, but it is estimated that it will not be able to be fulfilled in the short term." ”

Li Qingzhao didn't care much about this issue, nodded, and shook his head again.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Qingzhao suddenly said, "By the way, how did you come up with any idea?" Is it the plank principle of the railway embankment? ”

"I was told to it by an old man when I was dreaming." Gao Fangping said with a smile.

Seeing that he was pulling calves again, Li Qingzhao didn't care anymore, and said instead: "In the future, will that kind of magical railway really be everywhere?" ”

"Yes, with me, there will be a railway." Gao Fangping nodded.

Li Qingzhao said: "With the railway, will it become another kind of exploitation? For example, whoever repairs it will intercept it on the road to collect money, just like the bridge problem faced by the Ministry of Industry under the public eye of Zong Ze? ”

It's finally boiled and ready to eat.

Gao Fangping fished something out of it and stuffed it in his mouth, and said: "No, the reason why I handed over the Beijing Railway to the imperial court is to set a precedent and release a signal that the railway must be state-owned." ”

Li Qingzhao said curiously: "The political environment of the Great Song Dynasty is open, and the governance power of the local state capital is too large and not uniform, and it is a different policy to change states and counties frequently. If everyone was not optimistic about the railway earlier, it would be fine, but after you show off in front of the emperor this time, it will definitely form a momentum in a short period of time, and the state capitals have launched railway projects in order to compete for political achievements and the interests of the right of way of the state capitals in the future, will it not cause chaos? And how to solve this problem. ”

Li Qingzhao's worries are right, and the local state capitals will really have their own local protectionism for the sake of profit.

At that time, Gao Fangping had a fight with them in Zhongshu and threatened to repair Chengdu by itself, which was the nature of the place. But in the end, after consideration, Gao Fangping still poked it out, and through the emperor's approval, he showed the magic of the railway in front of the world in advance.

There is only one goal in mind: to eventually return the right of way to the central government. In the future, through the railway, the local government can be further weakened, and the centralization of power can be placed in the center.

Gao Fangping said: "What you think is also what I consider." That's why I gave up selling the Ring Beijing Railway to the Ministry of Household Affairs and handed it over to the Ministry of Industry to manage. This is also the reason why Zong Ze took up the Ministry of Industry. In this way, although it added some trouble to the construction process, I was subjected to some restraint. However, I have been restrained, which means that other state capitals cannot mess around, and they cannot just get on the horse. You have to wait for the unified arrangement of the Ministry of Works, and wait for the unified financial affairs of the Ministry of Households. The right of way must not only belong to the government, but also to the central government. That's why I took the lead and appointed railroad soldiers. The current mountain people are just a gimmick, not real railway soldiers, I just need to appear now 'railway soldiers', and then when the time is ripe, Bi Shijing's ministry will naturally turn to the official railway soldiers. Under the leadership of the central government, the railway association set up its own bureaucracy, its own messengers, and its own judges. ”

"Your own office, your own messenger, your own judge......" Li Qingzhao muttered.

Gao Fangping said: "Yes, only in this way will the lifeblood system of the railway be freed from the layers of exploitation of the intertwined local gentry, clans, and officials. Otherwise, as you just said, local forces are intertwined, and the situation is different in different states and counties. If the governing power is in the locality, even if the railway belongs to the central government, it can be artificially blocked and detained due to some local interests. ”

Li Qingzhao thought so, and felt that the Great Demon King was thinking far ahead.

In fact, the current lifeblood of the Great Song Dynasty is often this kind of moth, which is the most frequent in the southeast region.

Although Caoyun also belongs to the central government, the law belongs to a department of the Ministry of Industry. But the judiciary is still in the hands of the local government. So as far as Li Qingzhao knew, at that time, his father-in-law Zhao Tingzhi and Cai Jing were fighting, and one of the most troublesome problems was that even if Zhao Tingzhi controlled the Cao Yun of the Ministry of Industry, it was useless.

The bureaucrats in the southeast who responded to Cai Jing at that time had judicial power, and the boats passed along the local routes, just like the common people fighting wits and courage with the road tyrants, and if they disagreed, they were found to be moths, and the boats were seized on local judicial grounds to strongly resist the central policy.

If they want not to be dragged back, Caoyun can only make a big compromise with the southeast, entrust their private goods, allocate the tight ships to them to the maximum, and transport their stipulations.

Therefore, the temporary solution is to form an independent railway system, free from the interference of the traditional bureaucratic system.

Gao Fangping's initial idea of "Chengdu building its own railway" was really an immature idea, and if that was the case, it would lay a major hidden danger for the future administration.

The future benefits of the railway will certainly be great, but these interests must only be coordinated at the national level. To achieve this, it is nonsense that the central government does not have judicial power and military power on the railway.

Therefore, the ultimate goal is to spin off the Ministry of Railways and hand it over to Zong Ze, which is facing a war with quite a few conservatives, and it will have to be solved gradually in the future.

The existing interest chain of the Ministry of Industry has basically been fixed, and it is very difficult to touch it, and it is difficult to do it without shuffling. Fortunately, in this era, the railway is a new thing, and it can be regarded as a small reshuffle, which can regain the power of lifeline. In fact, this is basically the same reason as the establishment of new departments and new leading groups in the past of the Great Song Dynasty. Gradual marginalization of established groups.

Gao Fangping also drank two glasses of wine today, and it was very late to sit and chat.

Li Qingzhao is not a night owl, he is almost a little sleepy, he gets up and stretches his waist and says, "I'm going to clean up and sleep." And he said, "Now, is this the last time you and I get together this year?" ”

"Otherwise, will tomorrow morning be the last time you and I will get together?" Gao Fangping Road.

Li Qingzhao tilted his head and thought for a while: "Your statement is so weird, don't you mean to stay overnight?" ”

"I think I am a man of integrity and purity." Gao Fangping Road.

"Okay, let's go."

In fact, Li Qingzhao wanted to sit down and overwhelm him with a fart, but he just thought that this kind of behavior was not civilized, so he let him go because of his brain disease......

Night.

Cai Bian, the transfer envoy of Liangzhejiang Road and the governor of Hangzhou, sat in the hall and frowned.

This is the most significant situation Cai Bian has faced in his life.

Politically, some time ago, thinking of the relationship and old relationship with the emperor, with the help of the power of the generals in the DPRK and China, and the Taoist priests entering Beijing, Cai Bian obtained the real power of the two Zhejiang road transfer envoys.

This position is awesome in that it is equivalent to a Cao Yun official, in addition to holding the power of money and grain on the Liangzhejiang Road, he also automatically obtained the right to manage the Cao Yun of the Liangzhejiang Road. To a certain extent, the Caoyun Department of the Ministry of Industry could not scare Cai Bian.

In addition, a large part of the current share of Dongying trade is in the hands of Hangzhou Port. Although the two Zhejiang road transshipment envoys did not care about the city Bo Division (customs), but after entering the inland, there was no transportation arrangement of Cai Bian, the transshipment envoy, and the silver and other important materials exported by Dongying were not to mention Beijing, and even the Jiangzhou treasury was difficult to enter.

Gao's shipping company is not a Cao Yun establishment, but it is subject to the river, and it will have to face Cai Bian's eating, drinking, and Kana to a large extent. In fact, this is the real reason why Xiao Gao hates this group of people to death, and his mother's job is almost the revenge of killing his father.

Therefore, with the development of the Great Song Dynasty, the gray oil and water produced by Liangzhejiang Road are frenzied. Since ancient times, when you are rich and famous, you must be powerful. Therefore, within the southeast department, it is only a matter of time before Cai Bian enters Beijing to compete with pork and compete for the initiative in the next government. This is where the cohesion of Cai Bian's banner lies.

However, this is only for now.

With the birth of the Pork Ping Railway in Beijing, Cai Bian's political interest is being pursued and blocked.

Because the magic of the railway really frightened these people, the construction was so fast, the cost was so low, and it was not controlled by the river. Once the railway is developed, Caoyun will officially step down from the altar. Once Caoyun is outdated, the political status of this southeastern system, which is parasitic according to Caoyun, will inevitably be beaten to the streets.

Trends always converge towards interests.

In addition, the pace of the Taoist priests entering Beijing failed, and they were stunned by the pork level to boldly press the emperor's Taoist priests to death on the ground, and also lost the heavy general Xu Jiang.

Let's not talk about these negative situations, the most extreme thing is that there are a few letters on Cai Bian's desk right now.

Under the lamp, Cai Bian picked up the letter again and read it twice, and slapped the letter on the table again with a blushing face.

These letters were sent by none other than Gao Fangping, the first political enemy.

Two of them are shocking evidence, which are Zheng Juzhong's treason to leak Gao Fangping's parallel traces and level the navy's military assassination of Gao Fangping.

These two letters were born out of thin air, and they were suddenly sent to Cai Bian by Gao Fangping's people, and at first glance, Cai Bian really jumped up in fright.
