Chapter III: Establishment of Reserves (16)

Because of Ding Yi's arrival, Queen Qian was not as blind and lame as she was in the original history. She sat in Ding Yi's study, not wearing casual clothes, but a crimson Tuanlong bow robe, plus a bright yellow coat, and the headdress was even more graceful and luxurious.

The women in the palace, the women who can be powerful in the palace, really don't have a good stubble. I thought the queen came quietly just now, but who knew that it was killed openly, Ding Yi opened the middle door again, and the people in the consulate waited to greet him, what a toss!

Ding Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Niangniang is out of the palace with such a full set of honor guards, and she is not afraid of hundreds of officials......"

Hearing this, Queen Qian smiled slightly, and cut off Ding Yi's words: "It's okay, this palace is here to discuss with the third uncle about the laying of the railroad tracks." The meaning of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry is to put this item under the government, or to instruct the Ministry of Industry to issue it; Ma Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Wang Tianguan of the Ministry of Officials accused that once it is run by the government, the Ministry of Industry is an example, and if such things that benefit the country and the people are tossed into the appearance of the Ministry of Industry, it will really be a waste of money for the people. ”

"Many excerpts are left in the middle and not sent, grandpa means is to teach them to tear out a charter, and then it is not too late to discuss, the cabinet side, also feel that it is rash to hand over to the government, there is really a precedent of the Ministry of Industry, and I can't help but be shocked." Empress Qian picked up the tea and drank it, before she continued, "But the current general intention is to be supervised by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas. So there are many people who ask to come to the palace, who want to teach the railway to pass through Huguang, and who want to teach the railway to pass through Jiangxi, and so on. The palace was invited by two Shangshu and four cabinet ministers to find the third uncle. Ask me about the details of this. ”

Ding Yi shook his head and put the thick text on the case in front of Queen Qian.

He didn't plan to play palace scheming tricks with this Queen Qian. It's very straightforward, and it leads the matter to the point.

"Junyue, you are waiting on the side, if there is anything you don't understand, you can explain the details."

Queen Qian was very patient, she didn't turn the two pages and threw them down, and asked Ding Yi what he wanted?

Not only did she look through it, but she didn't understand some places, so she really asked Ding Junyue; There were some things she wasn't sure if it was true. I asked the female officers who were with me; There were some things that she thought were important, so she pinched them with her fingernails. Looking at this stack of texts in fact, I have to read it for about forty minutes to put it down.

"Third uncle, time is a little tight, the palace is not detailed, can you teach someone to copy a copy, the palace will take it back, look through it slowly, and discuss it with the third uncle tomorrow?" Queen Qian said slowly. Every word seems to have been in my head dozens of times before it is about to be spoken.

Ding laughed when he heard this, nodded and said, "Naturally." ”

He also said to Ding Junyue: "Stamp the seal of the riding seam and sign it at the seam for the record; Pick up the borrowing slip form. After the godmother fills it out, use the seal. Queen Qian's face tightened when she heard this, what is this for? This is Ding Yi to prevent Queen Qian from transcribing and tampering with. Finally,!

"Mother, this is only a small part of the generalized information. Many of the above numbers and conclusions are inferred from a huge source source. So don't worry, if there is something wrong with this material when transcribing, or even if this material is destroyed, there is no problem, and you can make a copy of the original material by looking through it. Ding Yi put down the pen in his hand, moved his wrist, and said to Queen Qian.

This is like the last straw that crushed the camel, Queen Qian's face became ugly, and it was no longer possible to maintain Fang Cai's motherly and dignified and elegant image, her eyebrows were tightly twisted, and she looked at Ding Yi: "Why does the third uncle force people too much?" I heard that the third uncle still didn't want to take on this errand before entering the city! ”

"But I took it after all, and if I did, I had to get it right." Ding Yi did not avoid the other party's question.

"Wait for you to stand down first." Empress Qian exhaled slowly and gave an order to the palace ladies and female officials beside her.

So those female officials and attendants saluted and retreated, but Ding Junyue didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.

"What does he mean?" Queen Qian got angry and asked Ding Yi, what did this Ding Junyue do, why didn't she follow her orders and retreat like everyone else? Because of the next thing to talk to Ding, Queen Qian definitely didn't want a third person to be present.

Ding Yi stood up and arched his hand to Queen Qian: "The little girl is stubborn, fortunately she has filial piety, I have been weak recently, and I can't understand the left and right, I think I am afraid that there will be no one to wait, and it is inconvenient, so I did not leave." He pointed out that Ding Junyue had the identity of a righteous daughter, and he also tactfully expressed his intention to ask Ding Junyue to stay in the study.

"But filial piety is good." Queen Qian's face was even more ugly, but she still nodded with anger, and even took off the jade bracelet on her hand and gave it to Ding Junyue, "Reward you with a little gadget, don't take your blood from the battlefield for thousands of miles, but take your filial piety even if you are married." ”

Speaking of which, it is really a basket of truths, but the purpose is undoubtedly obvious, and he still hopes that Ding Junyue will get out.

But without Ding Yi's order, how could Ding Junyue retreat? Ding Yi asked her to come over by name.

Seeing that Ding Junyue was invulnerable, Queen Qian couldn't, so she had to ask Ding Yi: "What is the charter on the third uncle's side?" ”

Who knew that Ding Yi did not start with this poisoning case, but sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and then said leisurely: "Where to go from the railway, of course, in an ideal state, it is best if all the major political envoys have to pass the railway." But for the time being, it is obviously impossible, so from Jingshi to Liangguang, this railway will be considered first, as for where to pass on the way, it depends on where it is convenient. ”

Queen Qian was also very cooperative, as if the poisoning case had never happened, so she didn't mention it at all: "Can you elaborate on the convenience that the third uncle is referring to?" Hongu didn't quite understand what this meant. ”

"Niangniang said that the four cabinet ministers, the request of the two Shangshu, is it to teach this railway not to pass through their hometown?"

Hearing this, Queen Qian was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "Third Uncle is not joking?" They asked for a railway to pass through their hometown for the benefit of their hometown, so how could they turn away such a good opportunity? ”

"Do they know what a railroad is?" This time it was Ding Yi's turn not to understand.

"I know, Xu Yuanyu, the governor of Liangguang, went to the fold last year and asked the ministries to send people to Guangdong to investigate, and they have all seen the railroad tracks of the Yingde mine, which is said to be able to travel thousands of miles in a day and 800 at night, and it is infinitely powerful, and every time a county seat is emptied! It is precisely because of this that the Ministry of Education and Military Affairs listened to the urging to do this quickly. It is said that if China can repair the railway, it can cut off many old and weak soldiers, and leave the elite to guard. ”

Ding Yi raised his hand and patted his head, it seemed that he really wanted to be bad.

It is not only the difficulty of building railways in history, but more importantly, the telegraph poles, there are people making trouble, and there are squires who make trouble.

Therefore, Ding Yi subconsciously believed that the larger railroad track would inevitably attract more opposition.

But even he didn't expect what he had done in the past ten years.

The current Ming is not the Ming of the past, a powerful country, it has the courage and the heart to accept new things. What's more, for Huaxia, the railway is no longer a foreign thing from the West, it is something invented by Ding Rongcheng. The local tyrants and squires at the bottom, limited by their vision and fear of land reform, resist what they can resist and label Ding Yi, but the bigwigs of the court are not so short-sighted.

The most fatal thing that Ding Yi scared them was that he was not at fault.

From Tumu Fort to Egypt, no matter how desperate the situation, no matter how incredible the fog.

He seems to have a pair of eyes that can see through the future, at least in terms of the general trend and the overall situation, Ding Yi never falls short.

Whether it was the new army, or the rifle, or the constitutional, industrialization, academies, etc., every step he took was taken by others who thought it was impossible or unnecessary, even if he was thrown into Guangxi, which was almost the worst in China at that time, Ding Yi also developed Wuzhou into an industrial base, and used it as a fire to revitalize the whole Guangxi, and then spread to Guangdong, and now it is spreading to the whole of China!

Therefore, the ministers of various ministries and the ministers of the cabinet all have a consensus, that is, what Ding Yi decides to do will definitely make a profit and leave a name. As representatives of the scholar class, they are cursing Ding Yi, planning to share the benefits in this matter, and planning to make themselves famous in history, so that a hundred years later, the world will only know Ding Rongcheng, and they feel that this is a kind of struggle.

Helpless to be led to the struggle.

In fact, this is already a kind of worship, and Ding Yi has succeeded again and again, so that his opponents, unknowingly, dance in his footsteps.

"The rails are not so easy to make, even though they are rails, they are actually steel." Ding Yi did not immediately reply to Queen Qian's question, and did not reply to the railway from Beijing to Liangguang, from which political envoy passed, "Niang Niang, think about it, from Liangguang to Jingshi, it is all paved with steel, how much steel does it take?" This is not iron! ”

Queen Qian was stunned for a moment, this is terrible to think about, you must know that a hundred steel knives are the heirlooms of many military generals, and use steel to pave a road from Liangguang to Beijing? She really didn't dare to think about it!

"The route must be found to be the most convenient, this person who is impossible to take care of them, specially let the railway pass through their hometown, dare to do this, I am afraid there is only one person in this world, and that is my Uncle Wang. But if they are interested, they can participate in the investment, and in addition to transporting troops, the railway can also transport goods in peacetime, and the income from railway operation will be distributed according to the share of investment. ”

Before she finished speaking, Queen Qian immediately spoke: "Raising stocks, this palace understands, this palace invests 400,000 taels of silver!" ”

Over the years, under Liu Yiyi's auspices, the inner treasury in the palace has gradually become richer, and the queen's tone is much wider than before. (To be continued......)
