The groom was stunned for a moment.

Li Changfeng has never interacted with the ministers of the DPRK and China, why is he suddenly going to the Prime Minister's Mansion today?

However, he didn't ask much, snapped the horse and whipped it, and the carriage slowly drove towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Feng Quji was holding a cup of tea that had already been cooled, frowning and pondering.

Although Li Changfeng has always been good at creating miracles, and Emperor Qianwu is also a virtuous monarch, it stands to reason that he will not spend a lot of silver, but he still has some difficulty understanding the significance of engaging in steam trains.

It's not that he's stupid.

The main reason is that Li Changfeng introduced too little in the court, and the huge information gap made it difficult for him to make correct analysis and judgment.

Just then, the servant came to report it.

"Master, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes asks to see you."

Feng Quji was stunned.

"Who?"

"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, Li Changfeng."

"Please, please! Forget it, I'm going to meet it! ”

Feng Qujian hurriedly put down the teacup and trotted towards the door.

You must know that the two of them have almost no interaction on weekdays, and the limited few exchanges are when Li Changfeng returned to Beijing to govern the water shortage in Shangzhou, and returned triumphantly with the defeated barbarian army, and he led his ministers to meet him.

Moreover, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes doesn't seem to be interested in inheriting the Great Unification Point, and has never won over any courtiers, so why did he suddenly come to visit him today?

Feng Qujian was full of doubts.

Soon, he saw Li Changfeng, who was standing with his hands in his hands, and hurriedly knelt down to pay respects.

"Xiaguan greets His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes!"

"The old prime minister, please get up quickly, no need to be polite!"

Li Changfeng hurriedly helped Feng Qujian up, without the slightest severance.

"Your Highness, please come inside."

Feng Quji had a gentle smile on his face, looking calm, very steady, and leading the way in front without hurry.

"Your Highness has arrived, which really makes the humble house shine."

Li Changfeng didn't have the heart to say polite words in an official tone, and he didn't wait for the living room, so he went straight to the point and said the purpose of the trip.

"Old Prime Minister, this prince has come to visit you to give you full support for the steam train plan proposed to me this morning."

Since ancient times, it has been said that the emperor is far away, and in today's era of extremely inefficient communication and imperfect rule of law system, local officials have too much flexibility in governance.

There are too many and too many aspects involved in railway construction, and some relationships that are not handled well will inevitably be constrained.

It's not that Li Changfeng is afraid, as long as he comes forward or sends someone to deal with it, there is no problem that cannot be solved, and violence can still be used if it doesn't work.

It's just that tossing back and forth to deal with these trivial things is too much time waste, and it will greatly reduce the progress of railway laying, which he absolutely cannot accept.

You must know that every minute and second wasted is real money for Li Changfeng.

That's why Li Changfeng came to visit Feng Quji.

With the prestige that Feng Quji has accumulated in the court over the years, as long as he is willing to cooperate and let out his words, even if it is Li Chengye and the officials of Li Ji's faction who are not dealing with him, they have to give him some face.

Such a person does not need to be in vain.

Feng Quji's expression was slightly stunned, and his tone was still calm: "What did Your Highness say?" Today, His Majesty has allowed this matter in the court, who in the world dares to hinder it? ”

Feng Quji, who was accustomed to testing first and then going to the bottom, playing Tai Chi back and forth, was a little uncomfortable with Li Changfeng's conversation rhythm, so he used such a sentence that seemed to have no problems.

Li Changfeng knew that it would be a waste of time to follow Feng Quji's words, so he simply skipped the topic and asked, "Old Prime Minister, do you know why this prince has to promote this?" ”

At this time, the two had already come to the living room.

Feng Quji didn't answer this for the time being, and respectfully made a gesture of invitation: "Your Highness, please take a seat first." ”

Li Changfeng took a seat, and Feng Quji instructed the servants: "Bring the best tea in the house, order the kitchen to set up a banquet, and the old man will entertain His Highness!" ”

Li Changfeng did not stop it.

If you like to do it, if you eat it or not, it is a waste of time to say kind words back and forth, and he will have to see the old general Ye Qingcang in a while.

After the arrangements were made, Feng Quji arched his hand and said: "Your Highness is indeed a little curious about why His Highness spends such a huge amount of money on such a thing, and I ask His Highness to solve his doubts." ”

Li Changfeng nodded: "This is natural, dare to ask the prime minister if there is a big picture in his family?" ”

"As a prime minister, how can there be no big plan in the family?" Feng Qujian smiled slightly, and ordered his subordinates sideways, "Why don't you bring the big Qianyu map?" ”

When the subordinates left, Feng Qujian asked, "I don't know what the use of His Highness's big plan is to do it?" ”

Li Changfeng said with a smile: "Please forgive the old prime minister for this, this prince will buy a pass first, and before you bring the map, this prince will first introduce you to the characteristics of the steam train." ”

Next, Li Changfeng gave a detailed introduction to the characteristics of the steam train, Feng Qujian listened very carefully, and his expression was only a little interested at the beginning, and gradually showed a thoughtful look.

A moment later, the map arrived, and the two servants tore it open and stood in front of it.

Li Changfeng looked left and right to see if there was no pen, so he dipped his fingers in the tea, sketched the blueprint of the three verticals and three horizontals in addition to the three verticals and three horizontals he had shown to Emperor Qianwu, and then detailed the purpose of doing so.

Even Emperor Qianwu was excited after listening to Li Changfeng's introduction, not to mention Feng Quji.

Feng Quji's expression gradually changed from thoughtful, to shock, and finally to expectation, and the cloudy old eyes flashed with excitement.

"What a grand blueprint!"

"What a great idea!"

"The merit is in the present and the benefit is in the future!"

"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes cares about the people of Li, please accept the bows of the lower officials!"

Feng Quji bowed respectfully, his expression solemn.

Now he finally understands why Emperor Qianwu would arbitrarily insist on going his own way to promote this plan, which is really of great significance to the great cadres.

Once completed, it will be a great achievement that will go down in history.

Li Changfeng hurriedly helped Feng Qujian up, and said with a wry smile: "Old Prime Minister, this prince doesn't like these red tapes, so you don't have to be polite!" ”

"Don't waste your courtesy!" Feng Qujian shook his head slightly, and then changed his words and said solemnly, "Your Highness, the lower official has understood what you mean, you can rest assured, which local official dares to make a moth, the lower official will definitely pick his skin!" ”

It's a pleasure to talk to smart people.

However, Li Changfeng didn't expect to rely on Feng Quji's family and country feelings to do this matter safely and properly, and interests are the eternal theme.

Even if Feng Qujian didn't care about his interests, how could the local officials not care?

When the time comes, it will also be troublesome.

Therefore, Li Changfeng referred to the way of the Ministry of Railways in his previous life, and he already had a benefit distribution plan in mind.

Li Changfeng said with a smile: "Of course, the active cooperation of officials from all over the country is not without any benefits, the railway will set up stations along the way, and in the future, it will sell tickets to transport goods, provide accommodation and warehouses for merchants, etc., and make money from it." ”
