Chapter 628: Disappointment
Chapter 628 of the Women's Gui Text Volume Disappointment Ye Xinyan Of course she didn't know what the two of them said when they left the Qi family, but she knew what they were talking about when they left the Qi family, but she didn't take it to heart. Regardless of whether Jinrong can understand what she means, with her understanding of Jinrong, I think he just disagrees with her views and disapproves of her contempt for the fundamentals of the country.
Jinrong, Jiang Yifan and Ye Xinyan are each doing their own things.
…………
The rail carriage in the capital is running very well, and now the rail carriage not only has passengers, but also freight accounts for a large amount of transportation, which makes the emperor who pays close attention to the track run more confident.
A section of the imperial court's rail transportation was also put into use, which was laid between Jiwang, an important grain and grass storage town, and the border fortress of Liaoyuan County, and the transportation effect was excellent. In the morning, we set off from Jiwang Town, Heyuan County, and waited until it was dark to reach the border pass of Liaoyuan County. It's just that the track is far away from the capital, and the emperor can't see it up close.
However, this efficient mode of transport is costly. According to the plan, next spring, preparations for another track will also begin, and the imperial court will raise silver taels for the laying of another track.
Therefore, when the emperor heard Jinrong say that Jiang Yifan, who was demoted to Qingyuan County, agreed to lay wooden tracks for testing without authorization, not only did he not ask for the guilt, but instead checked Jiang Yifan's evaluation in the past three years, tried to wipe the face of An Guogong, and transferred him back to the capital.
Simply this Jiang Yifan is an informed and interesting person, and after he came back, he actually won the understanding of the old man Ye and walked very close to the Anguo Mansion, so that His Majesty the Emperor was not too embarrassed when facing the old man of the Ye family.
And Jiang Yifan did not disappoint him, when the imperial court was preparing to raise the silver for laying the track in the next spring, Jiang Yifan presented the trial results of the wooden track.
This matter was urgent and important, and the emperor took time out of his busy schedule to personally go through the trial documents of the wooden track.
He was extremely surprised by the meticulousness and organization of this document, although he had not done specific practice, but he had also read a lot of newspapers, so he could see the difference in this track trial document.
This document covers all aspects of the wooden track, and the wording is very simple, and it sketches a simple picture of laying and using the track.
In particular, the thing called the trial summary, with extremely concise sentences, the wooden track from planning, preparation, prefabrication, laying, to completion, trial, what are the faults, find the cause, elimination methods, etc., in order to simply state the content of the statement, that is, even he, the emperor who is not out of the palace, can understand.
In that summary, the advantages and disadvantages of wooden rails are particularly clear, and it compares ordinary horse-drawn carriages and rail-drawn carriages in terms of pulling weight and driving speed, and points out the advantages of using wooden rails compared with rails.
The emperor was surprised and admired, for fear that he, a layman, would be fooled by this document. He also summoned a few officials who would be used as prisoners, and asked them to carefully study and discuss this document to determine whether it was feasible and true.
After these things were done, and its availability was confirmed and confirmed, the emperor handed over the document to the cabinet for discussion. The cabinet replied, and the emperor asked the ministers in the court what they thought of the wooden tracks.
The emperor himself had read this copy, and asked the officials who would be the prisoner to affirm the authenticity of this copy. In addition to being delighted, I took it to the court to discuss with the ministers how to implement it, and at the same time wanted to share with the ministers about the outstanding people of the Great Summer Dynasty, not only can someone come up with such a way of traveling, but also can be optimized in such a short time.
However, the reaction of the courtiers greatly surprised His Majesty the Emperor, and almost made him dumbfounded, unable to maintain the prestige of the Son of Heaven.
Supposedly, wooden rails can be used for a long time, and they are no less efficient than rails, and the rails wear and tear on the wheels is much less. For the imperial court, the financial consumption of replacing the railroad tracks with wooden rails is not a little less, which is undoubtedly a great thing.
However, there are people who oppose it, and there is more than one person and one faction who oppose it, and even the crown prince and the seventh prince, King Fu, who have always been opposed, have maintained an unprecedented high degree of unity in this matter.
The emperor was inexplicably emotional, calmly watching the reactions of the courtiers, but in his heart he was disappointed in the two sons he had given high hopes for.
On weekdays, the princes take advantage of all kinds of conveniences to make profits, this world is the royal world after all, as long as it doesn't make too much trouble, he won't pursue it.
However, rail transportation was a major national event, and in order to pour and forge rails, countless labors and silver were used to increase the amount of mining and expand the furnace. With such a large output of financial resources, a bad one will shake the foundation of the country.
They can't think of a way to share the country's worries, but now, there is a ready-made method in front of them, and for the sake of selfish interests, they have put aside their past differences, opposed them together, and allowed the country's financial resources to be lost in meaningless things. How can such a person be the lord of the world?
The emperor was disappointed in his heart, but the means and prestige of ruling the world for many years made him not show the slightest on his face, and only quietly watched the discussions and expressions of the ministers in the court.
It is said that the biggest loss of the rails should be the Seven Princes Fuwang, but the one who was the most unstable and the first to speak out against it was His Royal Highness the Prince.
The crown prince had already seen the trial document of the wooden track presented to the emperor by Jiang Yifan in the cabinet yesterday, and he was furious at the moment.
When he returned to the Prince's Mansion, he scolded that shameless wreck, yes, it was Jiang Yifan, who had been humiliated by the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion and had no face, and was relegated to a small county in Yuyuan County as a county magistrate.
The scandal of that year spread all over the capital, and people have not forgotten it to this day, thanks to which he still has the face to come back!
This shameless guy, because his wife lost face and official position in the capital, after going to Qingyuan County, he can still get along with the divorced woman calmly. In order to be promoted, they worked together to make this Rausch wooden track.
Isn't this a special trouble for him, the prince who is in charge of the household?
Yes, the prince just felt that Jiang Yifan was looking for trouble with him.
Although the railroad laying project for rail transportation is an errand in the hands of Lao Qi, the rail project costs a huge amount of money, and the amount of silver that Lao Qi takes over is naturally large. However, this huge amount of silver was raised through the household.
The prince is in charge of the household department, and raising such a huge amount of silver, there are not too many opportunities for him to reach out.
But Jiang Yifan, this bastard, made a wooden track, can something like wood be the same as iron?
Looking at the entire Great Xia Dynasty, as long as you walk on a stone's throw away, you can see an unknown number of big trees, not to mention how many forests and mountains with forests are hidden in various places of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Suffice it to say, if you use wood to lay the railway, the material is really handy. Compared to railroad tracks, which are made through multiple procedures such as mining, ironmaking, firing, and forging, wooden rails are as simple as reaching out and picking.
Where is the huge financial resources of such a simple and cheap thing? In that case, when will the hole in his hand be filled?!
