8. Railway Disturbances (4)
The Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet, the Six Ministries and the Nine Secretaries (should be called the Seventh Ministry) gathered in the Qinzheng Palace, on the matter of building the railway proposed by Muyanga, the quarrel was boiling and the sky was boiling, but the quarrel was not very meaningful, and the words opposed by several Qingliu ministers were nothing more than the old saying of "changing the summer with Yi, and the tombs of the ancestors and ancestors were uneasy", so bored that the Tongzhi Emperor couldn't help but snort, and several local governors took the initiative to support, and several people from the Military Aircraft Department except for Li Hongzao who said a few words without pain, everyone agreed, Baojun estimated that Mu Yang'a had something to do, not letting the Queen Mother stare at the position of his household secretary, and quarreling with several cabinet scholars, such as Zai Ling, Rui Chang and others, was so fierce that even Jia Jia, who was half-closed in his eyes and recuperated, couldn't help but jump sharply.

In the midst of the boiling, the voice of the Queen Mother sounded behind the screen in the main hall of the Qinzheng Palace, "Okay," and there was silence in the hall in an instant, "They are all ministers of the country, wearing vermilion and purple, and what kind of noisy and noisy thing is it." ā
"The excerpt on the Ministry of Communications, I read it, very good, the King of Parliament and the Military Aircraft Department also mean this, the railway matter must be done," the Queen Mother set the tone, and everyone stopped talking, "If there is another foreigner attack on Tianjin, our Qinwang army will be quickly assembled, and there will be no ridiculous thing that the Qinwang army is late, but what the scholars said is also reasonable, the mausoleum of the ancestors and ancestors of Zhili is here, and it is indeed not easy to be alarmed," the Queen Mother gently reassured, "So this railway matter, Zhili here, don't do it first, the king of the council, do you think it's better to do it there first? ā
"The Military Aircraft Department discussed it, and first set up a new railway in Shanghai and Tianjin, and the Ministry of Communications has invited British engineers back, and it is clear that both places are flat land, and it is more convenient to set up railways, and both places are important towns for sea trade, and with railways, exports are much more convenient, and Hurd also means this."
"There is one more thing to tell the Queen Mother," Prince Gong said slowly, "There are a few foreign companies that say they want them to build it, and then the railway will be under their control." The minions thought that this thing could not be done, after all, it was on our ground, if they were to be managed, and there would be a war in the future, would this railway be ours or a foreigner? ā
"What the King of Parliament said is very much," said the Queen Mother approvingly, "this technology, steel, and trains can be bought from foreigners, but they cannot be taken care of." That's it," the Queen Mother settled the matter after saying this, "Hu Linyi, the governor of Huguang, is in very bad health, does the Military Aircraft Department mean to let him recuperate first?" ā
"Yes," Wen Xiang said, "if he dies in office, it can't show the attitude of the dynasty to treat meritorious heroes preferentially." ā
"Then let him get rid of the governor first, recuperate in his hometown with peace of mind, and wait until he recovers, and then let him go out, and tell him that as soon as he is well, he will fill the vacancy immediately," the queen mother said, "The military aircraft department will take a look, who will go to Huguang, and someone will come to tell me, kneel down." ā
"Huh!"
The cabinet and the various ministries of the book dispersed one after another, Mu Yanga said a lot of words beside Prince Gong, the attitude was extremely humble, the original heart was quite unhappy Prince Gong listened to these words, very useful, to Mu Yanga a lot less bad feelings, and made an appointment to go to Xishan hunting together in a few days, Mu Yanga and the Minister of the Military Aircraft Department one by one to say goodbye, farewell and leave.
Wen Xiang was careful, and waited until Mu Yang'a left, and then said to Prince Gong: "Did the prince see it today, the kings and ministers did not come." ā
"The Queen Mother announced it, but several people have reported illness, and I don't see any illness, but I just refuse to come."
"The kings and ministers guess they are not happy to build a railway, right? It's just that although the Queen Mother is very respectful now, Lizi doesn't believe them very much, so no one listens to their words," Baojun sighed unconsciously, "Now look, the prince is still a loud-talking person!" ā
"Don't talk about this," Prince Gong shook his head, "These nobles, they didn't come, it's not a good sign, Wenshan, when you get out of the garden, you accompany me to Prince Yu's house to take a look, he is the first old-fashioned person." ā
"Yes." Wen Xiang responded, and Prince Gong asked again: "How did you cook last time?" ā
"Just wait for the Queen Mother to ask," Bao Jun said with a strange smile, "I only owe Dongfeng." ā
Prince Gong nodded, "You must be beautiful, and you can't make any mistakes." ā
"I see. Just put 10,000 hearts. ā

"Yes, the minions are back."
"Have you figured it out these days?"
"I didn't figure it out," An Dehai said softly, "It's just that it shouldn't continue like this, Niangniang can't do without people here, Sister Fan'er is gone, and there are not many people around Niangniang to serve." (To be continued.) )
