Chapter 648 A bit of a pit

Wooden tracks can greatly reduce the financial burden on the imperial court, and the emperor certainly wanted to push this matter as quickly as possible.If it is delayed until the fifteenth day of the new year, and it takes a few more days, it may take a month or two.

Court officials don't cut off their heads and rush for [-] miles when they do things, they are always full of failures, and it is not as effective as urging them years ago.

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor began to think about it the next day after the court confirmed that the wooden rails would replace the railway rails, and arranged for reliable people to spread out the project before the year before, and continue to do it after the year, so there would be no excuse for delay.

The next day, the emperor left King Fu and Minister Wang Xian of the Ministry of Industry and announced them to the imperial study.

Fu Wang is worrying about his inventory these days.In addition, they are still spending their time discussing with the deployment, how to find out the omissions in the prince, and publicize them, so as to buy him some time to deal with the hot inventory in his hands.

He didn't have any enthusiasm for the wooden track project, and he didn't devote any energy to thinking about it.

When the railroad track was first made, it took a long time to prepare for it. Of course, this wooden track could not be completed overnight.He is not in the mood to manage this oily project, let alone when it will be ready.

If the well-made rails are no longer used and wooden rails have to be replaced, even if the project is delayed, who can be blamed?

But the Emperor Xuanjin Yushufang said so, it seems that it can't be delayed, but what should he do if he is not enthusiastic?
Wooden rails are not like rails. Turning stones into rails requires a lot of twists and turns in the middle, so it’s easy to reach out, isn’t it?But this wood, if you carve it out into flowers, how much is it worth?

Fu Wang was 16 years old when he was struggling in the court hall. Of course, it was not for nothing. He just moved his mind and said to the emperor: "Father also knows that projects like projects, especially projects that have not been done in the past, require a lot of preparation. A lot of manpower and time. Since the father is in a hurry, the minister will go back and gather relevant people to discuss and see how to do this."

The emperor didn't care much about Fu Wang's obvious prevarication.Originally, Fu Wang opposed the use of wooden rails, and the reasons for his opposition are self-evident.As for how deep and wide this reason is, he secretly sighed, what else can he say about his own son and his own country?

He looked at the minister of the Ministry of Industry, "Wang Aiqing has been in the Ministry of Industry for many years. Based on your experience, can you make a general plan for the wooden track project a year ago and make an outline. The specific details will be opened after the opening of the office in the next year." Do it again."

Wang Xian just heard Fu Wang's reply to the emperor, and wanted to help Fu Wang a few words to delay the matter.But after listening to the emperor's question, he really felt that there was no need to help delay it at all, but it was really impossible to do it.

"Your Majesty, wooden rails are indeed not that simple. The manufacturing process, interconnection, and fixing methods of wooden rails are different from railroad rails. This project has to be started from scratch," Wang Xian said after a pause. , "In the past few days, I'm afraid... nothing can be done."

The emperor frowned, "Is it that troublesome? The transportation form of wooden rails is the same as that of railroad rails. It's nothing more than replacing railroad rails with wooden rails, and blacksmiths with carpenters."

Wang Xian smiled wryly and said, "It's not the carpenter's or blacksmith's problem, but the installation and production of rails and wooden rails are completely different. We always have to discuss and test it properly. It's not about evasion, it really takes time to determine a project."

Emperor Qianqing was not a dictatorial emperor. When he recalled that when the railroad tracks were being laid, he summoned the experts in rail carriage engineering, and it took a lot of time to complete the engineering documents.

However, according to the previous practice, the rail transportation line that was originally scheduled to be implemented in the spring will have to be delayed by one year.

Fu Wang looked at the pondering emperor, his heart moved, and said: "Father, if Father wants to implement this project in spring, it is not impossible."

"Oh?" The emperor looked at King Fu.

"Jiang Yifan handed over the trial paperwork for the wooden track. The person who laid the track was also joined by craftsmen from the mechanical workshop under the name of Sixth Brother. It would be much faster to hand over the project to Sixth Brother."

The emperor's eyes darkened. When the imperial court was planning to lay railroad tracks, King Fu and the crown prince were vying to do the project.Now that the railway track is going to be changed to a wooden track, it has to be pushed out, and it has to be pushed to Jin Rong who has never done practical work.

The emperor cast a gloomy face and glanced at King Fu, but he didn't attack.

The reason why he didn't attack immediately was that Fu Wang's suggestion was not wrong, and it was better to use a skilled hand than a novice.

Seeing that the emperor's face was a little heavy, King Fu hurriedly said: "My minister once learned that there are a few small fortification officials under the sixth brother who work very quickly, especially in terms of planning, which is extremely smooth. In addition, the implementation of the wooden track in Qinghe Village The Qi family's construction company is now in the capital, and the Qi family and the sixth brother are very familiar with each other, and the sixth brother took care of this matter, just in time."

"Qi family?" The emperor seemed to have heard of this family.

King Fu hurriedly said: "Yes, it is the Qi family, the family where the granddaughter of An Guogong has lived in these past few years. Sixth brother's Befu garden in Yuyuan County was built by the Qi family."

"Oh, I remembered." The emperor nodded.

King Fu hurriedly said, "So, Sixth Brother planned this matter very smoothly, and then laying the track with the skilled hands of Qijia Construction Company is the fastest."

The emperor turned his head and told Zhang Cunhai, the great eunuch who was waiting beside him: "Let someone find King Yu." Although King Fu had his thoughts, the court's project could not be delayed.

When Jin Rong heard the emperor's summons, he thought of King Fu and Wang Xian who stayed in the palace when the dynasty was scattered, and guessed in his heart that it was probably about the wooden track.

However, the probationary paperwork has already been handed in, as for the rest, why should I ask him?This kind of thing has always been handled by the Ministry of Industry.He didn't believe it, because of a wooden track that lacked oil and water, Lao Qi would let him arrange manpower to work in the engineering department.

Jin Rong entered the imperial study room, and after seeing the ceremony, his face immediately turned dark when he heard what the emperor said just now.

"Father, my son-in-law has never presided over the specific affairs of the court. This rail transportation is a big project, and it requires the participation of civilians and many officials. If such an important matter is entrusted to my son-in-law, what should I do if I can't do it well?"

The emperor looked at Jin Rong, and this guy dared to show his face, so he couldn't help laughing angrily, "Jin Yi is younger than you, and has been working for the court since he was a teenager. Now that you are nearly [-] years old, I just delegated some affairs to you , you just say such stupid words, don’t you feel ashamed of the court’s offerings for so many years?”

Jin Rong rolled his eyes, I have a ghostly ashamed?

It's good that your son and I don't participate in political affairs, but most of my expenses are earned by myself.The expenses of your son who participated in political affairs were all exploited from the court.

However, this kind of words cannot be said, without evidence, it is a false accusation, King Fu will be impatient, and Emperor Father will be embarrassed, and even become angry from embarrassment.

Jin Rong cast a sideways glance at King Fu and said, "Father, do you plan to hand over all the wooden track work to my son, or part of it?"

When the emperor heard that he planned to continue, he calmed down and said, "The wooden track in Qinghe Village was laid by the Qi family and the mechanical workshop under your name. Since the Qi family is in the capital now, you should take it first." Come up with a plan."

Jin Rong didn't feel much after listening to the emperor's words, after all, this was what Ye Xinyan and Wang Qiao had done.If you just came up with a planning plan a year ago, it shouldn't be a big problem.

But Fu Wang and Wang Xian felt that the emperor was a bit tricked, and the things that the Ministry of Industry could not do were actually imposed on a private construction industry intact.

　I was also cheated as a writer. I had a good plan, but I said a few more words with a friend, and I lost my state in an instant, and it dragged on until now.
