Zhu Youxiao said: "Did you have this word before?" Where is it? ”

Sun Yuanhua said: "Your Majesty, there is a sentence in "Zuo Chuan: Twenty Years of Zhao Gong": Master Chu Shen met the Duke on the road and obeyed. It's just that this word refers to the horse road, and if there is a word for the road, I am afraid that it will make people think that this road is a road dedicated to horses and carriages, and people can't walk. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "When you say this, I also think it makes sense, didn't the cement road supporting the railway be called a highway before?" It would be better to call all public roads made of cement or sand a highway to indicate that the road is a common road for everyone. ”

Sun Yuanhua said: "Your Majesty, after the completion of this highway, there are two issues to consider, one is the maintenance of the highway, the other is the order of the highway, the new cement highway is naturally like to walk, but the road is damaged, repair needs funds, this money should be let the people walking on the highway come out, so it is necessary to set up a card to charge." There are many people and cars on the highway, and if everyone does not walk according to the order, I am afraid that it will become a mess, so some traffic arteries must also set up people to maintain order. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked: "How wide is the road supporting the Jingshan Railway?" ”

Sun Yuanhua replied: "On that day, considering the need to transport railroad tracks, the road was three steps wide. If the carriage and the road taken by people are repaired now, about two steps should be enough. ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Sun Qing is thinking too simply, okay, I will consider this matter." I came to the Ordnance Bureau, in addition to the bearings, I also want you to improve the explosives, to build roads, you need to open mountains and build bridges, relying on manpower alone is really an impossible task, didn't you use explosives when building the railroad in front, but I heard that the gunpowder you took directly to make paper bullets is not very effective, you improve it. ”

Sun Yuanhua nodded yes, and after sending the emperor away, he went to arrange the research of bearings and explosives.

The next day was a small court meeting, and the emperor said: "Today we will discuss a problem, that is, to build roads. The Jingshan Railway has been repaired, and the results are very good after trial operation. Now it is possible to reach Shanhaiguan in one day from the capital, and to participate in the battle after getting off the train, which was unthinkable before. And now there are a large number of commercial transportation requests, which have been lined up for three months, and the railway conservatively estimates that the cost can be recovered in ten years, and I feel that it should not take ten years, so this railway is well repaired, and I am very satisfied. ”

Naturally, everyone congratulated the emperor holy. Zhu Youxiao said: "Of course, there can't be only benefits, there will always be some bad places, three days ago in Lulong County, Yongping Prefecture, a cow was killed, the shepherd boy was also injured, the train was forced to stop for an hour, and there were people trying to steal rails and sleepers, although they were caught by Jinyiwei in time, no losses were caused, but this kind of thing must not be prevented." ”

Fang Congzhe said: "Your Majesty, the "Railway Law" mentioned last time has been basically completed, but the railway is an unprecedented thing, and it is not easy to consult opinions." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Let's listen to it first, everyone is a matter of wisdom and intelligence, so naturally they can hear the problems inside, and only after promulgating it as soon as possible can there be a law to follow." ”

The clerk took the draft and began to read it one by one, and the ministers took the wat board and listened and made notes. After reading, Zhu Youxiao said: "Let's talk about it." ”

Sun Chuanting was the first to get up and arched his hand: "Master Fang, I'm afraid that there is something wrong with this matter that I have to compensate for the injuries caused by the train." Next to the railway, we have a propaganda signboard, and we have deliberately made some partitions between the railway and the field walkway next to it, and there is also the propaganda of the railway patrol in the vicinity, and the whistle and roar of the train can also warn, so that the train can be injured, but I am afraid that I can only blame myself. ”

Fang Congzhe said: "This is the reason, but the situation is also to be considered, the train is so big that it hurts livestock or pedestrians, do you still need someone to compensate the train?" ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Your Majesty once said that legal principles are outside human feelings, and we only need to consider legal principles when legislating, not human feelings. If the railway is allowed to compensate, I am afraid that more people will make more trouble, saying that the livestock were hit, and then the railway operation will be affected, and the original intention of the legislation will be lost. ”

Zhu Yanxi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Human feelings still have to be talked about, the train really hit and injured people, don't we treat it?" ”

Shang Shusheng of the Criminal Department said: "I'm afraid that in this way, someone will deliberately hit and be injured in order to seek compensation, or be injured elsewhere, but say that it was injured by the train, and then there will be a lot of trouble." ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but think of the traffic accident in later generations, as long as the car hit and injured the motorcycle and electric car, the car driver could only consider himself unlucky. This makes the owner of the motorcycle electric car more fearless, regardless of traffic laws at all, such a situation, he does not want to appear in Daming.

He coughed, and the ministers stopped. "In the case of train injuries to people and livestock, the legislation must provide for no compensation," he said. Of course, it is necessary to treat a person after he is injured, and if his family is poor, he can ask the local government and county to give some subsidies, but it cannot be compensated by the railway, and the subsidy must be less than his loss. If the animal is injured, no compensation will be paid, but the owner will be held responsible. On the other hand, we need to step up propaganda, in the newspapers, on the cloth, and even in the form of a drama. ”

Speaking of which, he thought of the encores before the opening of later films, which was a good method. "Let the literature and history department of the research institute come up with some propaganda words, and then tell the world opera troupe that every time they perform these propaganda words before singing, they can reduce half of the tax. If you are unwilling to perform an additional performance, no tax reduction will be granted. ”

After this article was finalized, Sun Chuanting said: "Master Fang, for stealing railway materials, I am afraid that the sentence is only a little light according to the value of the materials, and the court thinks that it is not too much to commit the crime of treason." ”

Ye Xianggao said angrily: "People are just stealing something, and you are too ruthless in your desire to commit rebellion." ”

Xu Guangqi also said: "It's just stealing, it's enough to be punished as stealing, but we can fine him money, such as ten times the value of the stolen materials, I think then they will naturally think about whether there is so much money to compensate for before stealing." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Then if he has no long things and has no money to pay if he catches it, then what is he afraid of, isn't he the same as stealing?" ”

Bi Ziyan said: "If you don't have money to compensate, go to repair the road, and then put it back after the salary reaches the compensation amount." ”

Sheng Yihong said with a smile: "This method is wonderful! Thieves often say that those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes. If we have a way to deal with the barefoot, they will be really afraid. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Very good, if there is a dispute to compensate in the future and there is no money, I will send them to repair the road to repay the money, and the clerk will write this down." ”

The ministers discussed for a while, and basically formed some revisions, and Zhu Youxiao asked Fang Congzhe to revise them according to the opinions, and then issued a holy decree and promulgated it in the world.
