Chapter 546: Who Gave Him the Courage

Jinrong is also helpless, it is his Lao Tzu who slanders his character, what else can he do? I had to look at the emperor sadly, and continued sullenly: "Miss Ye likes the scenery there, and another important reason is that although it is a wasteland, after decades of nourishment by the deciduous fruits of the peach forest, the soil quality has been improved, and it should be good to grow grass and raise cattle." ”

Speaking of this, Jin Rong paused slightly, thinking about how to tell Jiang Yifan to approve and agree to build the track alone.

In terms of chatting, the emperor was a very caring person, and asked at the right time: "I haven't heard much that grass can be planted." Isn't it difficult and needs Ye Xinyan to stay and guide? ”

Father can be voted the best chat player. Jin Rong was happy, and said: "It's not difficult to plant grass, mainly because the road from Taolin to Qinghe Village is too far, the dairy workshop is in Qinghe Village, and the dairy cows produce milk twice a day and transport it twice, which takes too long and is extremely inconvenient." So Miss Ye planned to lay a wooden track there, and she needed to stay and preside over the production and laying of the track. ”

Jinrong's last two sentences are a little vague and unconfident, most of the roads in the world are built and controlled by the imperial court, and such a sensitive mode of transportation as the track is allowed to be built by the people privately, the world will be chaotic.

Sure enough, the emperor immediately grasped the key to it and asked in a deep voice, "Track?" A track that connects two places and is sixty miles long? ”

Seeing that the emperor's face was grim, Jin Rong hurriedly explained: "This track was built on the purchased land, and the track has also been filed in the yamen. ”

The emperor stared at Jinrong and said meaninglessly, "How did you buy that land?" Didn't you just buy a narrow strip for building tracks? As soon as the emperor saw Jinrong's face, he knew that he had guessed correctly, "Jiang Yifan, the magistrate of Qingyuan County, and you are old friends, he is quite bold, not only dare to take advantage of this loophole in the imperial court, but also dare to agree to build the track privately!" ”

If it was an ordinary magistrate, the emperor naturally didn't know which one, but Jiang Yifan was once the one he had appointed to Tanhua, and he was a very important figure in the Anguo Gong birthday banquet incident. Jiang Yifan, who only had the position of eight grades at that time, directly wiped An Guogong's face, reconciled with An Guogong's granddaughter Ye Xinyan, and swept Ye Xinyan out of the house.

At that time, it was he who personally gave Jiang Yifan the matter and sent it to the officials.

And Jiang Yifan, who was released, did not stop. The rail carriage in Beijing has been in operation for nearly a year, and its fast, smooth and smooth operation is obvious to all. In particular, the speed is two or three times that of an ordinary horse-drawn carriage. Patrol the city of the imperial history of the special work statistics, this is in the city, there are getting on and off the car, as well as the city forks, intersections, pedestrian obstructions, if there is no these, unimpeded let the horses run, a day thousands of miles without a problem at all.

Such an astonishing speed of the road mechanism, in the hands of the court of the Great Xia Dynasty, of course, is extremely convenient, but if it is controlled by ill-intentioned forces or by foreign clans, for the imperial court, it can be called a disaster. Therefore, rail transit must not be allowed to be built and used by people outside the imperial court.

And Jiang Yifan dared to make his own decisions and build such a long track within his jurisdiction. With the track of Qingyuan County, if the merchants in various places lay their own tracks for the sake of fast transportation of commercial goods, wouldn't the world of the Great Xia Dynasty have no rules? There is also a hidden danger of subverting the imperial court.

Jiang Yifan was so bold, just for his own selfish interests, he dared to risk the world's disapproval and do such things.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he looked at Jinrong again. There are also six princes, in vain he always thought that he was pure and sincere, knew how to maintain the overall situation, and did not get entangled in personal interests. But in major matters, he was so confused! Saying that he doesn't bother with self-interest really exalts him, and if he doesn't bother with it, it's because the interests are not enough for the profiteering, which makes him lose his proportion.

Jin Rong met the emperor's hidden angry eyes, he was not worried about what the emperor would do to him and Jiang Yifan, his father was a virtuous monarch among these generations of monarchs, and he would never dispose of people indiscriminately.

In the matter of building wooden tracks, Jiang Yifan was very cautious. The county government has made restrictions on the construction of wooden tracks in the copywriting of laying tracks. Moreover, the key is that Taolin is a mechanical workshop in the future, and it needs to have a convenient transportation. According to the importance that the emperor now attaches to mechanical equipment, it is perfectly possible to approve a track dedicated to mechanical production.

Even if you don't worry, you have to have a sincere and fearful attitude in order not to hurt the face of the emperor's father. Therefore, the emperor's words fell, and Jinrong had already lifted his robe and knelt on the ground.

After the emperor finished scolding, Jin Rong said: "Father Emperor Rong Erchen explained that Jiang Yifan is a little bolder, but it is also out of sincerity to the court. ”

Jinrong said, raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor, and saw that his father, who had a unique and noble identity, did not relax at all, and did not mean to answer, so he hurriedly continued: "Our usual track is the width that two horses can run away, and the track approved by Jiang Yifan is the size of a horse and carriage. Moreover, the title page of the case file states that this track is to test the practicality and durability of the wooden track, and without the approval of the imperial court, the construction of the track is forbidden by the people. ”

"Experiments?" The Emperor's eyes narrowed, and he sneered, "What an excuse!" What to test? For whom to test? ”

"Yes, it's a test." Jin Rong said, "When Miss Ye bought the peach forest, she said that if it is convenient to transport milk, it is best to build a track. Jiang Yifan hesitated, and then thought that if Miss Ye could do a good job of antiseptic treatment of the sleepers and the wood of the track, and could use it for many years without being moth-eaten and weathered, then the imperial court would not need to consume a lot of iron to build the track. Wood is a material that can be obtained everywhere, and there are many skilled carpenters, so woodworking is faster and less labor-intensive than steel casting. ”

The emperor's eyes narrowed and relaxed, Jiang Yifan thought about it well, the amount of wood used in smelting iron ore is huge, and only these timbers are enough to build tracks. If wooden tracks are available, the track project does save time and effort, and can save a lot of money.

The emperor's tone was still calm, and he asked in a cold voice: "Such a major matter is just an interface for the sake of the imperial court, and you can do whatever you want?" Did you give him the courage to make decisions about such things without dishonoring his boss? ”

"Erchen and Jiang Yifan have been friends for many years, and they know his character very well, even if there is no Erchen, he dares to do such things." Jinrong kowtowed again and said: "It is related to the traffic of the imperial court, since Jiang Yifan knows that the imperial court is going to start rail transportation, and he has this opportunity, he is naturally willing to contribute to the imperial court." As for the report to Shangguan...... I'm afraid of this kind of thing, Shangguan is not necessarily willing to take this responsibility. If Shangguan directly vetoed it, what should Jiang Yifan do? Even if the officials acted cautiously and reported again, after reporting layer by layer, the result was not yet known. I'm afraid that before the conclusion is reached, An Guogong will send someone to catch Miss Ye and return home, and there will be no chance for the trial of the wooden track.
