(88106 .) This Jiang Yifan, he has long been displeasing to the eye. Although this bastard can't afford to be a man and was disgraced by his wife, he has walked around in front of the emperor in the past few things, and the emperor personally ordered him to serve in the household department, so he really doesn't dare to be despised by people.

Since Jiang Yifan came to serve in the household department, the prince has done many things in a shrunken manner, for fear that he is a nail that the emperor put in the household department.

The officials of the household department are also not doing things smoothly, for fear that what they are doing will be noticed by this little official from the sixth grade, and something big will happen. That is their official position and wealth, the future and net worth of this life.

Therefore, the prince not only did not want to replace the railroad tracks with wooden tracks, but also wanted to take this opportunity to drive the bastard surnamed Jiang out of the household.

Listening to the whispered discussions in the court, thinking of the unhappiness of this year's piles, the prince couldn't even wait for the people who had been arranged to come forward, and took the lead and said: "Father, the son has something to say." ”

"Well, tell me." The emperor had already seen the hidden anger on the prince's face, and said gently.

"Father and Emperor, rail transportation is a hundred-year, or even thousand-year-old plan, which consumes countless financial resources and manpower. And wood, no one knows, leaving wood outdoors and in the wilderness, let the wind and rain and the sun dry, is the most perishable. The use of wooden rails is a waste of the labor of the people of our Great Xia Dynasty. Erchen thought that laying wooden rails was really inappropriate. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said it was very painful, and listening to the tone, you can realize how sad it is that the hard work of hard labor has been wasted.

The left waiter of the Ministry of Rites came out and said: "Weichen has a book to play. ”

"The imperial court started rail transportation in order to solve the speed of material transportation in the imperial court, not to play at home and as a decoration. Weichen thought that this book on the wooden track was purely a grandstanding, completely ignoring the prestige of the later generations of the Great Xia Dynasty and the hardships of the people's labor. The minister implored the emperor to deal with the official who presented this recital, and this official obviously had ulterior motives, and could do such evil things for the sake of his own selfish interests. ”

The Emperor listened to these two performances, and could not see any obvious emotion, and asked again, "Which other Aiqing said what he thought about the wooden tracks?" ”

There was silence in the court, and the officials of different camps, their eyes flying, looked at each other, glanced at each other, and secretly used their eyes to ask for the opinions of others.

King Fu and the officials of King Fu's faction were shocked by the sudden change in the court today, but they didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come forward first, and they were a little unsure whether they should list up to second the prince.

Just when people hesitated, Tang Ming, the imperial historian, came out and said: "Minister Tang Ming impeached Jiang Yifan, the deputy head of the household department, for his own personal gain. Wechen implored His Majesty to send someone to investigate Lord Jiang's guilt and deal with it. ”

The emperor let out a noncommittal "oh" and said: "Now that we are discussing whether the wooden track can replace the railway track, what Tang Aiqing played, you can hand over the music to the cabinet for disposal, and then report it separately." ”

Tang Ming made a decision, glanced at Taifu Xing Yuyue, no longer insisted, and returned to the rank.

Seeing that the emperor's tone was wrong, King Fu couldn't help but feel anxious when he thought of the iron ore and iron materials he had hoarded in his hand, and glanced obliquely to the side without a trace.

As King Fu's eyes swept away, Taichang Siqing was late and out of the ranks, "Weichen has a book to play." ”

The emperor squinted at him, nodded and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Chi Yu said: "The minister seconded the prince's point of view. Rail transportation is a great project that will be remembered for thousands of years, and it will go down in history. After this project is completed, it will be a situation of the four directions. Your Majesty's wisdom will surely last forever, and Weichen and others will feel honored to be officials in this life.

If the rail transportation is mixed with wooden tracks, it may be able to be used for ten or twenty years, but who can guarantee that it will be used in 30 or 50 years, or even 100 or 200 years? If it is only used for one or two decades, the orbit will rot, and will not such novel ideas and the labor of the people of the world be wasted? Your Majesty is not the best way to use the labor of the country to do such a futile thing. I hope that Your Majesty will be enlightened. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

“……”

All of a sudden, the voice of seconding the proposal was endless, and there was always a dispute in the court on weekdays, but at this moment, there was only one voice.

The emperor swept over the courtiers in two rows, and his gaze swept over the seven princes.

"Who else has a different opinion?"

The court was silent for a while, and Han Yan returned to the line and said: "The minister thinks that rail transportation has never been a mode of transportation, whether it is a railway track or a wooden rail, we can't be sure of its long-term use effect and firmness. Wood is easy to rot, but iron will rust and rot if it is left outdoors for a long time. ”

Han Yan paused back, lowered his eyelids, seemed to block the eyes of the court staring at him, and said: "Weichen thinks that since it is a trial, we should choose to try it by investing less manpower and financial resources. ”

"Oh? Han Aiqing elaborated. The emperor's face remained unchanged.

Han Yan bowed back and said, "Weichen thinks that on the basis of the trial, compared to the railroad tracks, the wooden tracks are still very advantageous. Moreover, no matter what kind of utensils they are, if they are not properly maintained, they will be damaged. From the trial documents of the wooden track, the anti-corrosion treatment of the wooden rail is a crucial link, if properly treated, it can effectively prevent decay and insect moth.

In the opinion of Wechen, the wooden track can be tried. ”

"That's right." The Emperor's gaze swept over the courtiers again, this time he glanced intently at Jinrong's reaction.

I saw Jin Rong wearing a purple python robe, standing quietly in the hall, and he didn't say a word about what he presented.

"King Yu," said the Emperor, "you have submitted this document, what do you think of the wooden track?" ”

Jin Rong rolled his eyes, glanced at the crown prince and the Fu king on the opposite side, and replied: "Back to my father, my sons naturally think that wooden tracks are better than railroad tracks, so I submitted this document to my father." ”

It was only then that the emperor's face changed, only became a little gloomy, "In that case, why didn't you say a word when I asked the courtiers for their opinions just now?" ”

Jinrong looked innocent and said, "Father should know that this wooden track is mainly used to transport milk and expand the cheese business of his sons. If the retainers continue to promote their own things in the court, not only will they be suspected of boasting, but they are also afraid that the big guys will think that the retainers are seeking personal interests for themselves. ”

This is in the court, if not, the emperor wants to go up and kick him. This bastard has lived for more than 20 years, and he has always been debauched, and now that the court can use him, he knows how to be cautious, and he can't even tell the truth!

The emperor stared at him for a long time before he withdrew his gaze and said to Han Yanhui and the crown prince, King Fu and others: "In the spring of next year, the track laying is about to start, and the track project involves huge financial resources. ”88106 .
