Chapter 313 Wan Yan's Three Errands

Wan Yan came back this time with three errands to be exact.

One is to send the emperor the courtyard map of King Yu's Biefu, explain why he cannot return to Beijing, and let people extend his life attitude of idle clouds and wild cranes from the courtyard structure.The errand was successfully completed.

The other is to bring back the fermented cheese called flavored cheese and sell it as a top ingredient.Because there is something made in advance, which is regarded as a marketing strategy, and the fermented cheese that is divided into one catty and sold at a price of 200 taels of silver, was not recommended to any wealthy family for tasting, but with a very reserved attitude , placed in the north-south goods store under the name of King Yu, and is up for sale.

This method did not make the fermented cheese cold, but aroused the curiosity of the wealthy families. Even if the taste of the cheese they ate for the first time was not accepted by the rich and powerful, it still did not prevent them from continuing to buy and taste this expensive top-level ingredient. .Fortunately, this kind of wronged money was not spent a few times, and the flavored cheese entered the dining table of the aristocratic circle in the capital.

What Wanyan has to do is to find a well-ventilated cellar with the right temperature and humidity, store the fermented cheese properly, and hand it over to a reliable steward.

The third very important thing is rail transportation.

Strictly speaking, this matter has little to do with Wan Yan. The rail transportation plan was sent to the capital a month ago.Wan Yan's task is that if someone asks him if he knows about the use of rails, he needs to tell the questioner of course that the construction company that built the dairy workshop for his prince used this kind of equipment, which is quite common. yes.

Someone really asked Wan Yan if he knew about rail carts, but they just said it casually and didn't ask about it as a serious matter.Those who are really interested in this matter have asked the little officials for clarification as early as after the news was released by the little officials of King Yu's Mansion.

At the end of the year, there are a lot of entertainment among court officials. Even the artisans registered in the government will get together with their acquaintances to have a drink and chat with each other after a year.

The news that rail transported materials were used in folk construction began to spread among interested people.Although these people did not witness the use of carts and tracks like Jiang Yifan and Hu Jing did.However, for such a thing that can save manpower, the officials and craftsmen who are doing related affairs quickly felt it.

As a result, various people have various ideas about where the track can be applied and what effect it can achieve. Some people think that this is an opportunity for promotion and start planning and writing notes.

Among these people were those from King Fu and those from the prince.The difference is that Fu Wang had a small stumble with Jin Rong, and he was a lot more cautious in this matter, unlike the prince, who was not very wary of Jin Rong.

The Prince's Mansion has its own wave of official support.Since there were rumors of using the track in the capital, people in the Prince's Mansion have been paying attention to it.Therefore, the Prince's Mansion's brochures on promoting the use of rails were prepared earlier, and they were fairly comprehensive.

Therefore, after everyone had a taste of the courtyard of His Royal Highness King Yu, courtiers began to write letters one after another, suggesting that the court should widely collect methods for using rails, and apply rails to various businesses in the simplest and most effective way.

Although there were quite a few people who submitted letters, among them was Tan Weixian, the chief secretary of the Prince's Mansion. Tan Weixian's Shangshu was obviously superior to other officials, but he was compared by Dong Bolin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, one day later.

Dong Bolin, as Jinrong's secret team, received the rail transportation plan very early.With such a complete plan, he only needs to extract some of the ideas that can be put forward in the early stage, not to mention that this is also his specialty, and he is very familiar with it.

As a result, Dong Bolin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, had an absolute advantage in his novel and comprehensive conception of rail transportation, which attracted the attention of His Majesty the Emperor and several ministers.

As soon as Dong Bolin's proposal was stated, the emperor was moved by the prospect Dong Bolin described, and put the note in the cabinet, and asked the three assistants to call for a joint discussion.

The orbital movement Dong Bolin described in the court hall is just a concise part of the eloquence.Naturally, those detailed regulations cannot be elaborated on in the court for one or two hours.Therefore, when the three Xiangfu actually took this booklet, participated in the research in detail, and discussed with relevant people, they were really shocked by the scene outlined in this booklet.

If the track is built according to the form mentioned in the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and can run successfully, then the way of traveling in the entire Great Xia Dynasty will undergo tremendous changes.

For example, in the capital city, if two carriage tracks are built around the main roads of the capital city and standardized, the traffic in the capital city will be greatly eased, and the traffic in the capital city will be relieved and channeled.

Although the people involved in the discussion are already important officials of the court, they naturally cannot make decisions on their own when encountering such a huge project.

After some discussion, the officials decided that when they went to court the next day, Prime Minister Han would come forward and explain to His Majesty the emperor the rail transportation involved in Dong Shilang's booklet, and how to follow this booklet. Costly.

Han Xiang is a capable minister. While explaining the huge track project, he also explained clearly that if the track transportation is used, the transportation of important materials for the court will be much more convenient, and it will save countless military service and food.Moreover, the transportation speed will be greatly accelerated. Although it is not as convenient as water transportation, it can be widely used in various areas and covers a wide range.
