"Girl, what do you want to do?" Feng Bosong looked at the paper in front of him with some disapproval.

"The north needs to use useful people, who can be competent, those who are vegetarian, make room for others as soon as possible", Luo Xiaoqiao said unceremoniously.

From the lines of the idle conversation that day in the old stone, she could hear the basic situation of the household.

After the officialdom was rectified, the officials were generally good, but there were also some old guys who stood in their seats and did not do practical things.

Luo Xiaoqiao never felt that by giving full play to the consciousness of the people below, he could govern a piece of land well.

On the contrary, she prefers to use the system to restrain her, and there are no rules.

"Grandpa, it is said that I shouldn't say anything more about officialdom, but you must have heard about it, just the railway matter, how much careful thinking has arisen later."

"So do you think that just by giving this evaluation system, you can solve the problem?" Feng Bosong asked with a frown.

"You can't solve all the problems, but you can give more opportunities to talented people who are willing to do it." Luo Xiaoqiao said.

"Do you think it's a big problem with my existing assessment in the Northland?"

"At least, I think that increasing the scores between colleagues, increasing the scores of superiors to subordinates, and increasing the scores of other colleagues to their institutions can more intuitively evaluate officials."

The two of you went back and forth, and talked for half an hour.

"I can't tell you!" Feng Bosong still relented, "Just this year, try it first, if anything goes wrong, you must restore it immediately." ”

"Okay?"

Luo Xiaoqiao sat on the chair with a smile and admired the pot of orchids on his table. This old man, this little habit of vassal elegance has really not changed at all.

After the promulgation of this system, it really caused a sensation, and officials everywhere discussed it with a red face and thick neck.

There are happy and worried, but it is undeniable that the enthusiasm of the people has come up.

……

Regarding the matter of building the railway, it did not make Luo Xiaoqiao wait too long.

Yuan Jingfeng found a large number of craftsmen and discussed with the subordinates of the Ministry of Industry for several days, feeling that this matter was promising.

In the presence of Feng Bosong, the parties signed a contract, and Zhengtong Silver promised to pay the money as needed within the limit of 8 million taels.

"Princess, what about the rest?"

Because of Luo Xiaoqiao's status as a woman, today's deliberations are still selected in Feng Bosong's Zhong Yunju.

The matter has been decided, and the hall is full of officials, big and small, mostly from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households.

"First of all, we have to go to the field to measure and make an accurate topographic map.

"Princess, don't we have a map in the north?" Qi Yuancheng stood up and asked.

"That's not good, there's no size, I can only roughly refer to it. The construction of the railway is a delicate work, and the ups and downs of the local terrain and the trend of the radius must all be drawn out to facilitate unified planning. Luo Xiaoqiao said.

"Princess, how about I go?"

Tianji Pavilion is also here today, and Zuo Mulin can't sit still for a long time.

He had heard about this for a long time, what role could those officials who ate dry rice play? It's better to rely on themselves.

"Mr. Zuo, for so many years, the map of the Northland has been drawn and improved by our Ministry of Industry, how about letting Xue Hong go with you first?"

"Princess, what do you think?" Zuo Mulin looked at Luo Xiaoqiao.

Luo Xiaoqiao pointed to the huge map spread out on the desk, and his fingers slid out three lines: "These three roads, you assign them yourself, half a year, to draw what I want, how about it?" ”

"Yes!" Xue Hong nodded in agreement.

The map of the northern land is made every three years, and each prefecture, prefecture, and county draws a map of its jurisdiction, and reports it together with the household registration information. Their craftsmen were responsible for compiling and drawing maps of Jeonbuk, and then handed them over to him for safekeeping.

"And then? When will the construction start? Qi Yuancheng asked.

"The tasks that the officials of the various ministries are responsible for are in the books in your hands," Luo Xiaoqiao said.

"The raw materials used in road construction, such as cement, steel bars, sleepers, etc., are solved by the Jingwang Mansion, and the local government will coordinate the relationship between all parties in which section of the road is repaired. If you encounter any other unexpected situation, please help me."

Speaking of which, the people who came were engrossed in looking at the task assignment in their hands, as well as the brief route introduction.

Cao Lao of the Ministry of Industry is extremely good at water conservancy, and almost all of the water conservancy projects on the river in the north are inseparable from his handwriting.

Cao Lao's brows furrowed, staring at a line above the map.

"Dare to ask the princess, is this Xingyan line the most feasible route in your opinion?"

"That's right", Luo Xiaoqiao nodded.

"Other officials don't dare to say it, but the officials know that this road must pass through the Qinglong River, and the princess can know the Qinglong River?" Cao Lao looked up at her and asked unceremoniously.

"I want to hear about it." Luo Xiaoqiao is very humble.

Cao Lao touched his beard and said disagreeingly: "The current of this river is very fast, the river surface is wide, and the river surface is more than 600 meters wide when the flood breaks out in summer. At the same time, the sediment in the riverbed is very deep, and you want to build a bridge over this river, have you ever thought about how difficult it is? ”

Luo Xiaoqiao nodded and shook his head: "Old Cao, I haven't seen it on the spot, I don't dare to boast about Haikou, when the map is drawn, I will follow Lord Xue and them to take a look, let's solve the problem when we encounter it, what do you think?" ”

"Princess, it's not that you have to save your face. Our ancestors handed down a saying, it is better to build ten roads than to build a bridge, you should know that it is much more difficult to build a bridge than to build a road. ”

"What does Cao Lao mean?" Luo Xiaoqiao asked him.

"I don't mean anything, the railway you are talking about, the train running on it, must be extremely heavy, not to mention the bridge to be built on the Qinglong River, even an ordinary stone bridge, may not be able to support the weight of the perennial months. You can't want to rebuild the bridge every two years, right? ”

"Cao Lao's words are wrong", Luo Xiaoqiao smiled, if she was talking about demolition and earthwork, she might not be so professional, but when it came to bridges, people in this era really couldn't provoke her.

"Hmph...... I would like to hear what the princess thinks. ”

"Gao Jian can't talk about it, I just want to tell Cao Lao, the bridge I want to build is not a stone slab bridge, nor a wooden plank bridge?"

"What do you mean?" Cao Lao's hand stayed in mid-air, as if he was frozen by something.

"The bridge I'm going to build is naturally made of reinforced concrete. As for the intensity of your concern, I think I can pack this ticket for decades or even hundreds of years. ”

"How so?"

"Princess, what is reinforced concrete?" Qi Yuancheng stood up again, and he also looked incredible.

What this princess has done has greatly exceeded their expectations.

"This, to put it simply, is to stretch the iron into long strips, mixed between cement and sand, and solidify into a bridge."

"This ......"

The officials looked at each other, they had seen all these things, but could they really do it?
