Zhang Anshi said, and ran away as soon as he smoked.

Xia Yuanji puffed out his eyes and stared at Zhang Anshi's back, and couldn't help but be angry, that gaze couldn't wait to stare Zhang Anshi out of a hole.

In the world, there is only the rule of eating the king, and the matter of loyalty to the king.

Where is there anyone who loses money and pays back his life to the court?

This is the case with Natsuhara Yoshi.

This idea actually hit the Xia family.

Now it's miserable, the Xia family has heavy debts, and what they get in their hands is just dozens of acres of worthless land.

In fact, Xia Yuanji can even accept that the Xia family has suffered this loss, after all, this involves the emperor and grandson.

But if it's just the Xia family who suffers this loss, no matter what, his son has also helped the emperor and grandson a lot, what is this called? It's called charcoal in the snow.

After all, money is something outside the body, as long as the emperor and grandson value his son, and his daughter is gone, Xia Yuanji is not a short-sighted person.

It was only later that he inquired about it and learned that it was not only the Xia family who purchased dozens of acres of land, but also many people in the court, who were involved.

Jin Chun, the secretary of the criminal department, the thoughtful Taichang Temple and so on.

In addition, there are many political envoys in various provinces, as well as criminal envoys.

Although many of these people are feudal officials, they also know how difficult it is for their children to enter the imperial examination, and in order to pave the way for their children and grandchildren as soon as possible, most of them are serving as shadow officials in the capital.

The emperor's grandson built a young army, which was an excellent opportunity for everyone, so he desperately stuffed his children into it.

On the contrary, often Wuxun's children are not stuffed into it.

Of course, this is because most of the military ministers have titles, and the military ministers who do not have titles often do not have enough weight and cannot dredge up the relationship between the military department.

As for those who have a knighthood to inherit and have their own iron-beaten black gauze hats, it is better to go to the border town to experience some years, make some military achievements, and inherit the title in the future, although they don't care about the future future.

Not to mention, at this time it was the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and many martial artists were relatives of the emperor, so there was really no need for this.

Everyone has taken the money, which means that everyone has not taken the money.

If the Xia family pays money and buys dozens of acres of land, the emperor and grandson may think that the Xia family's father and son are really loyal and must be treated well in the future.

But among the military attaches of hundreds of young armies, one counts as one, and none of them run, which means something completely different.

It is equivalent to Xia Yuanji throwing his home into the water, and not even the slightest wave gushes out.

When you go to the emperor and grandson, and mention this achievement, people will say who are you, the hundreds of people who bought the land, who will recognize you.

Xia Yuanji almost didn't have to think about it, and he could immediately guess that this must have been done by Zhang Anshi, a guy who lacked virtue and smoked, and only this guy could come up with such a bad idea.

The emperor and grandson are young, and they are shrewd and naïve, how can they think of such a poisonous scheme.

This Xia Yuanji was unhappy that day, and he was not interested in any railway, any train.

This thing...... Looking at it, it cost the people and money, and now that the lives of his family are all in it, and he can't hear a sound, Xia Yuanji feels very sad.

So when he returned to the household, he was still sullen and unhappy, like a fish in his throat.

finally survived the evening, and immediately returned to his house.

saw his son Xia Xuan dangling in front of him.

Xia Yuanji is a humble gentleman, but whenever he sees Xia Xuan in the past few days, he has a fire that cannot be dissipated.

After all, something has happened, he doesn't dare to scold the emperor and grandson, and it is not good to put the contradiction on the table with Zhang Anshi, can't he provoke them, and can't he provoke his son?

"What's the matter, brute?" Xia Yuanji said with a cold face.

"Dad, the day after tomorrow...... The emperor said that he would lead all the military ministers to Qixia, and what kind of train was opened to watch the ceremony. ”

Xia Yuanji said impatiently: "What does that have to do with you? ”

Xia Xuan said with a bitter face: "Dad...... The son will go too. ”

Xia Yuanji glared at him: "So what? ”

Xia Xuan said: "My colleagues are anxious, and many of them are like our Xia family, and they have put their old books in...... The things of that land teach people like a fish in their throats! ”

Xia Yuanji stiffened his face, stood up, and then paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

This Xia Xuan is really a pot that can't be opened.

So Xia Yuanji gritted his teeth, after all, he was still the usual self-cultivation and rationality, which overwhelmed the resentment at this time, and finally only said: "Well......"

Xia Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad...... Have a colleague...... Say...... Otherwise, when we go to Qixia, let's ...... Just make a fuss and see if you can get back a little capital. ”

"Huh?" Xia Yuanji looked at Xia Xuan, and his face was meaningful at this time.

But the son was worried and caused trouble...... I thought to myself, it's better not to go to the sick. ”

Xia Yuan Ji was silent, he paced a few steps slowly, then sat down and took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Go, you still have to go, if someone wants to make trouble, you will also make trouble, then the holy car will definitely be there, you will be in the crowd, and you will also go and cry." ”

"Ah...... This ......"

Xia Yuanji said: "After all, you are still young, you can be regarded as young and ignorant. And there are many people involved in this matter, even if they are guilty, it is not the law that holds the public accountable. ”

"Besides, if you make a fuss, at least make a fuss, and teach Your Majesty to know that we are now bankrupt, even if the court does not compensate us for this money, at least ...... Your Majesty also knows that we have suffered a great loss. ”

Xia Xuan looked worried and said, "But if Your Majesty is angry......

Xia Yuanji shook his head: "Your Majesty, this person has a great temper, he is prone to killing at every turn, and he has the style of Taizu. However, whether it is Taizu or His Majesty, they all have one character, that is, they admit reason, but whatever they feel is wrong, they will not do anything to you. ”

"So...... There are only two results in such a trouble, one is to return the silver, and the other is that His Majesty knows that he is at a loss, and the time comes...... Inevitably, some compensation will have to be made from elsewhere. ”

Xia Xuan said: "But...... The Emperor ......"

Xia Yuanji glared at him and said, "Bastard, of course you can't push it on the head of the imperial grandson." ”

Xia Xuan said: "Then push it on Zhang Anshi's head?" That guy is too black-hearted. ”

Xia Yuanji immediately shook his head: "That's not going to work, this guy is too hard, you can't afford to provoke it." ”

Xia Xuan looked at Xia Yuanji in embarrassment: "Who is it that catches?" ”

Xia Yuanji said calmly: "Yang Pu, a scholar of Zhan Shifu, isn't it now to preside over the affairs of the railway?" You see, he is involved in both the East Palace, the emperor and grandson, and the railway......"

Xia Xuan said puzzled: "Ah...... These eight poles can't hit people. ”

Xia Yuanji said with deep meaning in his eyes: "I just can't beat the eight poles!" Your Majesty knows, the emperor knows, Zhang Anshi knows, you know and I know. Everyone knew that Yang Pu was innocent, so they framed him, so that things would have room to turn around. ”

Xia Xuan said hesitantly: "But Master Yang...... I can't help but ......"

Xia Yuanji looked at him with hatred and said, "You, you're really stupid!" This is ...... for Mr. Yang It's a great benefit. What a grace it is for the emperor's grandson to receive it! On the surface...... He Yang Pu suffered a loss, but in fact, the crown prince and the emperor and grandson will be grateful to him, and even His Majesty will have compassion for him. ”

"Yang Pu, the old man knows a little, he is cautious, but quite capable, although he is young, he is from Hanlin, he can act carefully, and he will do a lot in the future. With his current qualifications, he will at least succeed to the throne in the future, but if he can receive it on behalf of the emperor and grandson this time, I think it ...... You have to be a zaifu. He is a wise man, so even if you frame him, he will never embarrass you when he comes back to his senses. ”

Xia Xuan listened to it and felt dizzy: "It seems that in the end, no one suffers." ”

Xia Yuanji said: "The old man only wants to get back the money, why should he teach people to suffer?" ”

Xia Xuan resignedly: "That...... The son turned back to the people of the Kim family...... Deliberation and deliberation ......"

Xia Yuanji said: "When the time comes, don't involve the old man." ”

Xia Xuan nodded and said: "My son understands that if we do it, it will be a matter of less, but if it involves my father, it will be a long-term plan." ”

Xia Yuanji sighed: "Hey...... If it weren't for the family business of our ancestors, how could this be! I'm dignified Natsuhara Yoshi...... This is not the case. ”

Xia Xuan said: "This is the best strategy, how can it be regarded as the next strategy?" ”

"What do you know, planning for the world and the community, this is the best plan, racking your brains for this private plan, no matter how clever it is, it is also the next policy."

Xia Xuan said with a bitter face: "My son has been taught." ”

Xia Yuanji didn't say anything more, just picked up the teacup, thoughtfully holding the teacup without moving, his eyes lost his mind.

Here in Qixia, in order to welcome the upcoming opening ceremony, almost everyone is busy.

The railway has finally been completed, passing through thirteen counties and Qixia, setting up fourteen stations, and now after the overhaul and trial operation, everything is ready.

The new locomotive has greatly increased its capacity and speed, and it has been able to reach 40 miles from 30 miles per hour.

In this way, it is equivalent to reaching a speed of twenty miles per hour, which is not worth mentioning, but it is a great increase in efficiency for this era.

The most important thing is that this thing can be passed all night, and it can travel more than 400 miles in a day and night.

Zhang Anshi immediately began to let people calculate the price of freight and passenger transportation, and after a lot of calculations, on the basis of ensuring profitability, the price was converted.

Compared to the current prevailing land transport conditions, the freight rate is fully doubled.

And on the basis of doubling the volume, the capacity of the cargo is not much boosted, and the most terrible thing is ...... It arrives on time.

The greatest condition that distinguishes an agrarian society from a commercial society lies in the concept of time.

In later generations, people always said that people in some backward places did not have a sense of time, but this was not a surprise of the race, but of ...... For example, the same batch of goods, transported from here to there, before there is no train, the error in the middle may be as high as ten days, sometimes faster, half a month, if there is an accident on the way, it may be one month.

For people in an agrarian society, this can be said to be accustomed to delaying for a few days, but for the common workshops and merchants in the entire Taiping Province, it is actually unbearable.

My workshop needs materials for production, and if you delay it for ten days and half a month, then don't I have to prepare to eat soil?

As a result, in order to cope with this situation, many workshops have to set up a large number of warehouses in advance and prepare a large number of raw materials to prevent the time error caused by this transportation.

In this way, the operating costs of the workshop have increased greatly, the cost of warehousing has also increased greatly, and the pressure on funds is also unimaginable because of the advance stocking.

However, if the railway can greatly reduce the time error, the intangible benefits brought by this are not even comparable to the reduction of transportation prices.

Therefore...... When the construction of the railway department began to announce the county businessmen and military horses, after the measures of the new railway, ordinary people may still know it, but the spring warm duck prophet, many businessmen have heard the news, and they have been moved.

The trial operation of the railway tracks has been overcrowded these days, and many businessmen have come to observe in advance, and for a while, the grand occasion is unprecedented.

Many people have started to sign advance waybills with the railway department, after all, many businessmen, they often have regular customers, and need to send a truckload of goods out every once in a while.

Not only did the railway greatly reduce the transportation time, but it also ensured punctuality, and even the price of transportation was much lower than before. No matter how you look at it, it's a good deal.

At all stations, there are crowds of people, all of whom are businessmen wearing Songjiang cloth or Qixia new cloth, and there are even people who take a ride to experience it, and then spread such rare things around.

Such popularity is far beyond Zhang Anshi's imagination.

He thought that people might not be willing to accept such a new thing all at once.

But apparently he underestimated the enthusiasm of the Ming Dynasty for new things.

Thinking about it at this time, the Ming and Qing dynasties are often put forward together, but in fact, the Ming and Qing people are completely different concepts.

It's as if it's a foreign thing, even if it's a scholarly class, the degree of acceptance is completely different. What's more, the Taiping Mansion is dominated by merchants?

"Dudu, now there are hundreds of merchants at Qixia Station every day, and they can't be driven away."

It was Gao Xiang who spoke, Gao Xiang smiled, and then said: "Xia Guan also went to try it, it is really terrifying, there is such a thing in the world, I really never thought of it." ”

Zhang Anshi was obviously in a good mood today, and said with a smile: "Okay, about the ceremony, think about whether there is anything missing, you can't make a mistake, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

Gao Xiang said: "Yes." ”

On the other side, Yang Pu said: "Now this railway division, there are thirty steam locomotives that can be operated at present, mainly in terms of scheduling, which still need to be improved. ”

"The current order is almost full, and now it ...... Xia Guan was thinking...... Is it too little to increase some capacity, with only eight trailers in one car? ”

"Don't rush, take your time." Zhang Anshi said calmly: "This matter is handed over to Xu Jingchang and they will find a way, the operation of the railway department, as well as the training of personnel, must not make mistakes, if something goes wrong, you are the only one who asks." ”

What is the concept of 30 cars running at the same time every day? It is 30 cars on this hundreds of miles long line, which can almost do it day and night, and transport 3,000 tons, that is, 6 million catties, close to 50,000 stones, and this is only one day.

At the end of January, it is 1.5 million stones.

If it is a year, almost the entire grain of the Ming Dynasty can be transported.

But how much manpower and material resources did the Ming Dynasty need to use to transport these grains? In order to transport money and grain, almost all the Shangguan government recruited millions of people, and these people often took months to go back and forth.

Of course, at the moment, this railway line only runs in Taiping Province.

Zhang Anshi continued: "The railway division is here...... After operation, the accounts must be clear, and all personnel must also be quotas, in addition to that...... The Railway Inspection Department under the jurisdiction of the Railway Division, from now on, must also patrol the railway line at all times to prepare for theft and robbery. ”

Yang Pu smiled and said: "Don't worry, the governor will do his best." ”

"You can't do your best, you must not make a mistake, and if you make a mistake, you are the only one who asks."

"Yes."

Everything is ready, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

The auspicious day has arrived.

On this day, Zhang Anshi wore a Qinci python robe early in the morning, and led the officials of the Right Governor's Mansion and the Taiping Mansion to the Qixia border in advance.

The holy car did not arrive until noon.

Zhang Anshi stepped forward and saluted.

Zhu Di got off the horse and smiled: "How can I see your sad face, why, I have waited for a long time." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister is just worried that he missed the good day. ”

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Don't worry, I can't miss your business, it's really going to be delayed, isn't there still Jin Qing's family?" ”

There's something in that, after all...... Jin Zhong is professional, even if he is delayed, he can pinch his fingers and count, indicating that this hour is delayed well, and the next hour is better.

Jin Zhong was behind, smiled, and didn't say anything.

Xia Yuanji's eyes glanced at the car of the emperor and grandson not far away.

Zhang Anshi led in front, and the mighty people and horses immediately arrived at Qixia Station.

This place has long been a three-step post, a five-step sentry, and even a model battalion has been transferred and is heavily guarded.

Fortunately, the location of the station is relatively remote, in the western suburbs of Qixia near Nanjing.

As a result, there is now only a Norda station, which is located in solitary places.

"Iniquity, iniquity......"

Xia Yuanji was behind him, and Jin Chun, the secretary of the criminal department beside him, muttered in his mouth.

His voice was soft, but Xia Yuanji listened.

Xia Yuanji looked at Jin Chun in astonishment.

Jin Chun said in a low voice, "Do you know what you are stepping on?" ”

Xia Yuanji was stunned and said, "Yes...... What is it? ”

"It's our ......"

Xia Yuanji suddenly felt that this place was hot, and he couldn't help but stumble.

Jin Chun said bitterly: "Look at this place, barren land, even if you grow crops, the crops will think that there is no nourishment here!" ”

Xia Yuanji said unconvincedly: "Won't it?" Is it really here? ”

"What are you lying to do! The land of my house is a hundred and twenty feet east of the station, where is your house? ”

When Xia Yuanji heard this, his heart was cold.

Looking around, except for the station, it is said that the barren land is light, and I am afraid that there are no ghosts on weekdays.

Xia Yuanji shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then his eyes glanced at the imperial grandson and the accompanying military ministers of the imperial grandson in the distance.

Jin Chun and Xia Yuanji glanced at each other, and they seemed to exchange glances with each other.

Although he didn't have much interaction with Jin Chun on weekdays, as if he had a tacit understanding at this time, he immediately staggered his gaze.

When Zhu Di arrived at the station, he walked up the stone steps and looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile: "This is the ...... spent millions of taels of silver."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Your Majesty...... Wait until you enter the pit stop. ”

Zhu Di remembered something: "Call my grandson." ”

So the eunuch who was with him hurriedly trotted to summon Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji led the military ministers, surrounded by people left and right, and seemed to look up and down all the way, riding a foal.

immediately dismounted and came towards Zhu Di.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "I have grown taller again, this grandson is like me, and I will be a strong man in the future, Zhang Qing's family...... Your Zhang family...... It's all too slender. ”

Zhang Anshi: "......"

Your Majesty, it's not okay for you to belittle my whole family so justifiably!

Seeing that Zhang Anshi was silent, Zhu Zhanji happily prepared to salute Zhu Di.

But before Zhu Zhanji could salute, Zhu Di had already pulled him: "I teach you to accompany you, so that you can also see and understand...... This station...... You've put a lot of effort into it. ”

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Emperor...... I didn't make a difference. ”

Zhu Di smiled meaningfully.

At this time, someone suddenly heard the sound of sobbing.

Zhu Di heard it and frowned slightly.

This sobbing sound actually came from Zhu Zhanji's subordinates.

Zhu Di said with a straight face: "Who is so rude? ”

So a young soldier came out, bowed down to the ground, and said, "Humble the sin of ten thousand deaths." ”

Zhu Di glared at him, and then glanced at Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji was also a little surprised.

Zhu Di said: "Why are you crying? ”

"Your Majesty, humble...... Humble...... Life can't go on, it's sadness. ”

"Huh?"

"Bachelor Yang Pu of the Railway Division, to build the railway, because the silver is not enough, so he taught the lowly people to buy the barren land of this station, the humble ancestors have accumulated it for several generations, and the wealth of the family is only a net worth of three thousand taels discounted, but now he teaches the lowly to buy six acres of land, just these six acres of land, he asked for three thousand taels, and the lowly can not take out so much cash, and he even teaches the lowly to ask for a loan...... Humble...... Humble ......"

The man was crying profusely, as if he was about to turn his back on his breath at once.

His tears were pouring down, his body was trembling, his voice was hoarse and tired, but two words seemed to be written all over his body...... Grab the money!

Zhu Di's face suddenly turned blue and red, both angry and angry, but not easy to attack.

"Who is your father?"

This humanitarian: "Sichuan sentenced Liu Yan to ......"

Zhu Di said with a cold face: "Do you know what the crime is in front of the monarch?" ”

This man said: "Humble ...... death"

Say it and bow it again and again.

Then...... The other martial artists seemed to explode all at once, and Xia Xuan also fell to the ground, raising his voice and saying, "Humble ...... Humble...... I can't live anymore. ”

"Humble ......"

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhu Di was extremely embarrassed at this time, and his face was ashamed.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes widened, he was a little timid, but he tilted his head and thought, no, isn't this blaming Bachelor Yang Pu? What does it have to do with me, Zhu Zhanji?

】

Only Zhang Anshi was at this time, but his eyes lit up.

He reluctantly ...... Joy blossomed.

Is there such a good thing in the world?

Zhang Anshi was happy.
