Chapter 648: A bit of a pit
Wooden tracks would greatly reduce the financial burden on the imperial court, and the emperor certainly wanted to rush to implement this as soon as possible. If it is delayed until the fifteenth day after the year, and then it is delayed for a few days, it may be a month or two.
The officials of the imperial court do things, not beheading and 100,000 miles of urgency, which is always full of failures, and it is not as effective as urging a year ago.
Therefore, the day after His Majesty the Emperor decided that the wooden rails would replace the railroad tracks in the court, he began to ponder and arrange reliable people to roll out the project before the year and continue to do it after the year, so there would be no interface for delay.
The next day, the emperor left King Fu and Wang Xian, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and announced them to the imperial study.
King Fu is worried about his inventory these days. In addition, he is still thinking and discussing with the deployment how to find the omissions in the prince and publicize them, so as to buy him some time to deal with the batch of hot inventory in his hand.
Wooden track engineering, he has no enthusiasm at all, and he has not allocated the slightest energy to think about it.
When the railroad tracks were first made, it took a long time to prepare for them, and of course the wooden tracks could not be made overnight. He was in no mood to run such a project without oil and water, and no matter when it would be ready.
If you don't need to use the railroad tracks that have been cooked, you have to change the wooden rails, even if the project is delayed, who can blame you?
But when the emperor announced that he was entering the imperial study, it seemed that he couldn't drag it out, but what if he didn't have enthusiasm?
Wooden rails are not like railroad rails, turning stones into railroad rails, and there are many processes and twists and turns in the middle, so it's better to stretch out your hand, isn't it? But how much is this wood worth if you carve it into flowers?
At the age of sixteen, King Fu of Renfu was crawling around in the court, of course, he did not give it in vain, his mind only moved, and he said to the emperor: "Father also knows that this kind of thing, especially the project that has not been done in the past, consumes a lot of manpower and time in the early preparation. Since the father was in a hurry, the ministers went back to gather the relevant people to discuss and see what to do about it. ”
The emperor didn't care much about King Fu's obvious prevarication. Originally, King Fu opposed the use of wooden rails, and the reasons for his opposition are self-evident. As for how deep and wide this reason is, he sighed secretly, his own son, his own country, what else is there to say?
He looked at Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, "Wang Aiqing has been in the Ministry of Industry for many years, and in your experience, can you make a general plan for the wooden track project before the year and make an eyebrow." The specific details will be handled after the opening of the government after the year. ”
Wang Xian listened to King Fu's reply to the emperor just now, and wanted to help King Fu say a few words and drag things out. But after listening to the emperor's questioning, he really felt that he didn't need to help delay it at all, but he really couldn't do it.
"Your Majesty, wooden rails are indeed not so simple. The process of making wooden rails, their interconnections, and the method of fixing them are different from those of railroad rails. This project has to be started from scratch," Wang Xian paused and said with great embarrassment, "In the past few days, I'm afraid ...... Nothing can be done. ”
The Emperor frowned, "Is it that troublesome?" The form of transportation of wooden rails is the same as that of rails, which is nothing more than replacing rails with wooden rails and blacksmiths for carpenters. ”
Wang Xian smiled bitterly: "It's not the problem of carpenters and blacksmiths, but the installation and production of rails and wooden rails are completely different. We have to discuss and test properly. It's not a prevarication, it does take time to determine a project. ”
Emperor Qianqing was not a dictatorial emperor, recalling that when the railroad tracks were laid, he summoned the skilled hands of the rail carriage project, and it took a lot of time to complete the engineering documents.
However, according to the previous practice, the rail transportation line, which was originally scheduled to be implemented in the spring, had to be postponed for a year.
King Fu looked at the groaning emperor, his heart moved, and said: "Father, if my father wants to implement this project in the spring, it is not impossible. ”
"Oh?" The Emperor looked at King Fu.
"The trial document of the wooden track was handed over by Jiang Yifan, and the person who laid the track and the craftsman of the mechanical workshop under the name of the sixth brother participated, and handed over the project to the sixth brother to do, which is much faster."
The emperor's eyes sank, and when the imperial court planned to lay the railroad tracks, King Fu and the crown prince were vying to do the project. Now that the railroad track is going to be turned into a wooden rail, it has to be pushed out, and it has to be pushed to Jinrong, who has never done practice.
The emperor had a gloomy face and glanced at King Fu, but he did not have a seizure.
The reason why he didn't have an immediate seizure was that King Fu's suggestion was not wrong, and it was better to use a familiar hand than a raw hand.
Seeing that the emperor's face was a little heavy, King Fu hurriedly said: "Erchen has learned that there are several fortification officials under the sixth brother who are very fast, especially in terms of planning, which is extremely smooth. In addition, the Qi family construction company that implemented the wooden track in Qinghe Village is now in the capital, and the Qi family and the sixth brother are very familiar with each other, and the sixth brother is just right to handle this matter. ”
"Qi family?" The emperor seems to have heard of this family.
King Fu hurriedly said: "Yes, it is the Qi family, the family where the granddaughter of Duke An Guo has lived in the past few years." The sixth brother's Beppu garden in Yuyuan County was made by the Qi family's construction. ”
"Oh, I remember." The Emperor nodded.
King Fu hurriedly followed, "Therefore, the sixth brother is planning this matter very smoothly, and then using the skilled hands of Qi Jiajian to lay the track, that is the fastest." ”
The emperor turned his head and instructed Zhang Cunhai, the chief eunuch who was waiting beside him: "Let people find King Yu." "Although King Fu has thoughts, the project of the imperial court is not easy to delay.
When Jinrong heard the emperor's summons, he thought of King Fu and Wang Xian, who stayed in the palace during the dispersal of the dynasty, and guessed in his heart that it was probably about the wooden track.
However, the probationary paperwork has been handed in, as for the rest, what are you looking for him? This kind of thing has always been handled by the Ministry of Industry. He didn't believe it, because of a wooden track with less oil and water, Lao Qi would let him arrange for people to enter the Ministry of Labor.
Jin Rong entered the imperial study, and after the salute, as soon as he heard the emperor say what he had just said, his face immediately darkened.
"Father, the sons have never presided over the specific affairs of the court, this rail transportation is a big project, and the people and many officials are involved, so what if you don't do it well?"
The emperor looked at Jin Rong, this guy actually dared to show him a face, and couldn't help but laugh angrily, "Jin Yi is younger than you, and he has been doing things for the court since he was a teenager." Now that you are nearly thirty years old, I have only entrusted you with some affairs, and you have said such bastard words, don't you feel worthy of the court's worship for so many years? ”
Jinrong rolled her eyes, I have a ghost to be ashamed of?
It's true that my son and I don't get involved in politics, but I earn most of my expenses. The expenses of your son, who is involved in political affairs, are all taken from the court.
However, this kind of thing cannot be said, if there is no evidence, it is a false accusation, King Fu will be anxious, and his father will be embarrassed and even angry.
Jin Rong glanced at King Fu and said, "Father, do you plan to hand over all the wooden track projects to Erchen, or do you want to hand over some of them to Erchen?" ”
When the emperor heard that this was going to be the next, he eased his face and said: "The wooden track in Qinghe Village was laid by the Qi family and the mechanical workshop under your name, since the Qi family is now in the capital, you can come up with a planning plan first." ”
Jinrong didn't feel anything after listening to the emperor's words, after all, this was what Ye Xinyan and Wang Qiao had done. If you just come up with a plan a year ago, it shouldn't be a big problem.
But when King Fu and Wang Xian listened, they felt that the emperor had some pitfalls, and what the Ministry of Industry couldn't do, they actually imposed it on a private construction line as it was.
