Chapter 628 Disappointment
Of course Ye Xinyan didn't know what the two said when they left Qi's house, but she knew what they said in Qi's house, but she just didn't take it to heart.Regardless of whether Jin Rong can understand her meaning or not, based on her understanding of Jin Rong, he probably disagrees with her point of view and disapproves of her underestimating the fundamentals of the country, and he would just ignore her instead of interfering in how she treats her. Artisans who build rows.

Jin Rong, Jiang Yifan and Ye Xinyan were doing their own things.

…………

The rail carriages in the capital are running very well. The current rail carriages not only transport passengers, but also transport a large amount of freight, which gives the emperor who pays close attention to the operation of the rails more confidence.

The imperial court’s track transportation was also put into use for a section, which was laid between Jiwang, an important grain storage town, and the frontier fortress of Liaoyuan County, and the transportation effect was excellent.Depart from Jiwang Town, Heyuan County in the morning, and arrive at the border of Liaoyuan County before dark.It's just that the track is far away from the capital, and the emperor can't check it up close.

However, this efficient mode of transportation is costly.According to the plan, next spring, preparations for another track will also start, and the imperial court will raise silver taels for the laying of another track.

Therefore, when the emperor heard from Jin Rong that Jiang Yifan, who had been demoted to Qingyuan County, agreed to the laying of wooden tracks by the people for experimentation, not only did he not ask for guilt, but instead checked Jiang Yifan's three-year evaluation and tried his best to wipe it out. An Guogong transferred him back to the capital because of his face.

Simply because Jiang Yifan is a knowledgeable and interesting person, after he came back, he actually won the forgiveness of the old man Ye, and got very close to Anguo Gong's mansion, so that His Majesty the Emperor was not too embarrassed when facing the old man of the Ye family.

And Jiang Yifan did not disappoint him, when the court was preparing to raise money for laying the track next spring, Jiang Yifan presented the trial results of the wooden track.

This matter is very urgent and important, the emperor took time out of his busy schedule to personally go through the trial documents of the wooden track.

He was extremely surprised by the meticulousness and organization of this document. Although he hadn't done any specific practice, he had read a lot of reports, so he could see the difference in this track trial document.

This document covers all aspects of the wooden track, and the words and sentences are very simple, which clearly outlines a picture of laying and using the track.

Especially the thing called Trial Summary, using extremely concise sentences, briefly stated the wooden track in order from planning, preparation, prefabrication, laying, to completion, trial, any faults, finding reasons, troubleshooting methods, etc. The content of the statement was so simple and clear that even he, an emperor who rarely went out of the palace, could understand it.

That summary clearly lists the advantages and disadvantages of wooden rails. It also compares the weight and driving speed of ordinary carriages and rail carriages, and points out the advantages of using wooden rails over rails. Clearly.

The emperor was surprised and admired, afraid that he, a layman, would be fooled by this document.He also summoned a few useful officials who will serve as prisons, and asked these people to study and discuss this document carefully to determine whether it is feasible and authentic.

After all these things were done and its usability was confirmed, the emperor handed over the document to the cabinet for discussion.After the cabinet had a reply, the emperor asked the ministers what they thought of the wooden track in the court.

The emperor had read the copy by himself, and let the officials in charge of the prison affirm the authenticity of the copy.I was overjoyed, so I took it to the court to discuss with the ministers how to implement it. At the same time, I also wanted to share with the ministers about the outstanding people in the Great Summer Dynasty.

But the reaction of the courtiers was far beyond His Majesty's expectations, almost making him dumbfounded, unable to maintain the majesty of the emperor.

It is said that the wooden track can be used for a long time, and the efficiency is not lower than that of the rail, and the wear of the track on the wheels is much smaller.For the imperial court, replacing the rails with wooden rails will cost less financial resources, which is undoubtedly a great thing.

However, some people objected, and not only one person or one faction opposed it, even the Crown Prince and Seventh Prince Fu, who had always been opposed to each other, maintained an unprecedented high degree of unity on this matter.

The emperor's emotions were inexplicable, and he looked at the reactions of the courtiers with a calm expression, but he was deeply disappointed in the two sons he had given high hopes to.

On weekdays, it's fine for the princes to take advantage of all kinds of conveniences to make profits. After all, this world belongs to the royal family. As long as there is not too much trouble, he will not pursue it.

However, rail transportation is a major issue in the country. In order to pour and forge rails, countless labors and money are used to increase the amount of mining and expand the furnace.With such a large output of financial resources, one bad move will shake the foundation of the country.

It's fine that they can't think of a way to relieve the country's worries. Now, there is a ready-made solution in front of them. For self-interest, they put aside their differences in the past and oppose together, allowing the country's financial resources to be wasted on unnecessary things.How can such a person be the master of the world?

The emperor was disappointed in his heart, but the means and majesty he had been in charge of the world for many years made him not show the slightest bit on his face, and just quietly watched the discussions and expressions of the officials in the court.

Ordinarily, the Seventh Prince Fu Wang should have lost the most in replacing the rails with wooden rails, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the most impatient and the first to speak out against it.

The prince had already seen the trial document of the wooden track presented by Jiang Yifan to the emperor in the cabinet yesterday, and he was furious immediately.

Back at the Prince's Mansion, he scolded that shameless wretch, that's right, that Jiang Yifan who was once humiliated by the eldest lady of An Guogong's mansion, who was disgraced and demoted to a small county in Yuyuan County as the county magistrate.

The scandal that year spread all over the capital, and people haven't forgotten it until now. Fortunately, he still has the face to come back!
This shameless guy, because his wife lost all face and official position in the capital, after going to Qingyuan County, he can still get along with that divorced wife calmly.In order to be promoted, they worked together to make the wooden track of this Lao Shizi.

Isn't this a trouble for him, the prince who is in charge of the household department?

Yes, the prince just felt that Jiang Yifan was looking for trouble for him.

Although the track laying project of rail transportation is an errand in the hands of Lao Qi, the rail project costs a lot of money, and the amount of money that Lao Qi took over is naturally large.However, this huge amount of money was raised through the Ministry of Households.

The crown prince is in charge of the household department, raising such a huge amount of money, there are not many opportunities for him to reach out.

But that bastard Jiang Yifan made a wooden track. Can wooden things be the same as iron?

Looking at the entire Great Xia Dynasty, as long as you walk a stone's throw away, you can see countless big trees, not to mention how many forests and mountains with forests there are in various places in the Great Xia Dynasty.

It can be said that if wood is used for laying railways, the material is really readily available.Compared with the rails made through multiple procedures such as mining, iron smelting, firing, and forging, wooden rails are really as simple as reaching out to pick them.

Such a simple and cheap thing, where does it use huge financial resources?In this case, when will the hole in his hand be filled? !

　Thank you, Nuan Nuan, for the reward, and thank you for reminding me about the recommendation ticket. When I have a manuscript, I can update it in the morning.
