Chapter Forty-Nine: Pushing the Boat with the Current

Previous Chapter

Early the next morning, Zhao Mu went out early.

The rebuilt railroad was completed yesterday night.

The laborers excitedly spread the news to Huaqing Pavilion, and finally completed the task within three days.

The person in charge of the new dispatch is a subordinate of the house, so the reward is distributed on the spot.

No one knew that the candlelight on the east side of the palace was not extinguished all night yesterday.

Zhao Mu rushed to the construction site, and the laborers had been waiting for a long time.

Without his personal inspection and acceptance of the work, no one dared to take half a step.

"Master, although the newly built railway is fast, the quality is absolutely good."

"In the past three days, I didn't meet at a glance, so I stared at it, and there was nothing wrong with it!"

Listening to his chatting style, which is full of modern style, Zhao Mu always felt that something was strange.

After all, in Daqin, it is rare to be able to communicate like this.

With the affirmation of his subordinates, Zhao Mu just went through it hastily.

Indeed, as he said, the construction of the railway was not only fast, but also of high quality.

The steam engine can be put on track in no time and back on track.

At the end of the inspection, Zhao Mu also officially announced the completion of the project.

The laborers cheered, and at last they were able to go home and rest.

But I'm afraid I can't sleep this time, with so much money in my hands, I can't sleep well.

Just when the laborers were about to be disbanded, and each went back to his house to find his own mother.

Zhao Mu waved his hand to stop them, this railway is finished.

But the railroad on the other side with the wrong route has not been demolished.

"Everyone, don't worry, dismantle the railroad on the other side and go."

"Don't worry, I still don't ask you to do it for nothing, take the dismantled parts back and sell them, on a first-come, first-served basis!"

The laborers, who were depressed when they heard the news, were like chickens and blood.

I ran to the other side with my tools, for fear of being one step behind.

Zhao Mu also instructed the person in charge to maintain order.

Don't fight because you grab parts, so that people passing by on the steam engine will see it.

Now it's good, not only the railroad is demolished.

The parts that are not easy to handle are also handed out.

Now there are no problems with the railway in Xianyang Palace,

With this answer sheet to Ying Zheng, I believe that the construction of railways in the entire Daqin is no longer a big problem.

After all, there is still a significant gap between the revenue and expenditure of the national treasury.

After a long time, there is no fear that the treasury will be emptied, and it can be properly used, killing two birds with one stone.

In this way, Zhao Mu entered the palace and asked to see Yingzheng.

Xianyang Palace, inner hall.

Zhao Mu walked forward slowly, with irrepressible joy on his face.

Seeing him like this, Ying Zheng was also very pleased.

It seems that the railway matter has been satisfactorily resolved, and it is worthy of his careful cultivation of the old ten.

"The son of the emperor to meet his father!"

"Take a seat."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and took the initiative to take over the conversation.

"Old ten, seeing that you are so happy, I believe that the railway matter has been resolved."

Zhao Mu smiled indifferently and patted the horses.

"It's really impossible to escape the eyes of my father, it's true."

Ying Zheng was overjoyed and immediately asked someone to prepare enough food and drinks.

This news should be one of the few good news he has heard in recent days.

Although nothing has happened in the palace recently, many investigations have been inconclusive.

It's always checking and checking, and I'm trying to be patient.

"I'm happy today, let's have a few drinks with me."

Hearing this, Zhao Mu remembered the last time he drank in the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

You can pretend to be with other sons and drink a few less.

But with Yingzheng, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

And to mention the construction of the railway, it is even more to have a few more cups to make Yingzheng happy.

Not to mention, it's really a bit of a social feeling.

"It is a blessing for the sons to be able to accompany their father to drink."

"There are still a few pots of treasured wine in the Erchen Mansion, and I want to invite my father to taste it together."

Ying Zheng was not suspicious, he just thought that Zhao Mu was sensible.

He called someone to fetch it, and came to the inner temple garden with Zhao Mu.

The flowers in the park are full of wonders and flowers, and the scenery is excellent.

There is a stone table inside the pavilion, which happens to be a good place to drink and have fun.

Or the emperor in ancient times would enjoy it, Zhao Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When the next person brought the wine, the dishes were served.

"Old ten, I'm happy today, please."

Ying Zheng said, picking up the wine glass and drinking it all.

His expression suddenly froze, and he looked at the flask in disbelief.

As an emperor, he had never drunk any fine wine in Great Qin.

But the wine that Zhao Mu brought today was unheard of and unseen.

Seeing this, Zhao Mu hurriedly followed the example of Yingzheng, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Such a strong drink suddenly burned his throat.

"Old ten, what kind of wine is this? Why have I never tasted it? ”

Zhao Mu didn't dare to slack off, "Father, this is brewed by the sons themselves." ”

"If the father likes it, the son will ask his subordinates to bring more."

Such a fine wine, Ying Zheng promised it.

After tasting this wine, I am afraid that the rest of the wine in the entire Great Qin will not be able to enter his eyes.

The two talked happily, from the government to the people's livelihood.

Ying Zheng found out that Zhao Mu was not like other sons.

His conversation is like a spring breeze.

Even if it was his father and emperor sitting opposite, he did not show the slightest timidity.

On the contrary, it gives people a sense of closeness like Mu Ganlin.

This is a feeling that Yingzheng has not had for a long time.

After three rounds of drinking, the cheeks of both of them were already slightly red.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhao Mu began to test intentionally or unintentionally.

"Father, I want the people of Daqin to live and work in peace and contentment, but my father governs the country well."

"If you want to go to the next level, you need to invest more."

Ying Zheng thought for a while, and then nodded.

If you want to make a return, you must invest.

Business is like that, and so is governing the country.

While the people offered food to the treasury, they also got what they wanted.

This has been the case for a long time.

"Old Ten's words don't make sense, I can't be clearer."

"The construction of the railway in the Xianyang Palace is a good example."

Seeing that Ying Zheng led the conversation to the railway, Zhao Mu struck while the iron was hot without thinking.

"What my father said is very true, so my sons have the courage to speak."

"Erchen believes that the matter of Daqin paving the railway needs to be put on the agenda."

"Now is the time when the frontier is peaceful and the country is prosperous, and when will we not build a railway at this time!"

Zhao Mu said, got up and bowed his head.

The atmosphere was in place, and he had to push the boat down the river.

Take out the killer weapon you prepared to force Yingzheng to agree.

To achieve his goal, he had to gamble.

Gambling Yingzheng needs him Zhao Mu!

"And the ministers think that the efficiency of the hundred officials in the palace is too low."

"There has been no result in the poisoning for a long time, and the son is willing to take over this matter to share the worries of his father!"

With the strength of wine, Ying Zheng responded without thinking.

The poisoning has bothered him for a long time, and now someone has taken the initiative to ask for help, what reason does he have not to agree.

Even he didn't pay attention, and it wasn't just that.

There is also the fact that the railway was paved in Daqin in the front.
