Chapter 424 The only compliment
Under the attention of many eyes, the tracks and related facilities of these three sections of the construction site are changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they are gradually approaching completion.

Among the three sections of the project, the two sections of track contracted by Prince Yu's Mansion have been completely cleaned up, and the surrounding streets have been completely reorganized.Seven-foot-high signs stand at the three stations of the two sections of the track, with the names of nearby streets and alleys written on them.

In an open space at the end of the track, three carriages of different specifications were parked, including a beautifully carved four-seater, a spacious and bright open-top eight-seater, and a carriage with a flatbed for both passenger and cargo.An articulate boy, neatly dressed, explained to the people the advantages and conveniences of the three carriages.

There are various indications that the track carriage that is nowhere in sight is actually going to be used.

People who originally held a wait-and-see attitude, or who sneered at the thought that this matter would never be done, began to be tempted at this time, waiting for what form this new thing would appear on the streets of the capital.

At the same time, there was movement from Jin Rong.

Two days after Ye Xinyan went to work, in the early court, when the papers that officials should have written and the reports that should be reported were finished, His Majesty the Emperor slowly asked about the streets of the capital.

All of a sudden, the hornet's nest was stabbed, and for a while, doubts about the rail carriage and attacks on this decree sounded again from above the court.

Fortunately, many people remained silent this time.Many people know that the carriage rails in the entire capital city are divided into ten sections, and two sections of them will be opened for operation in the next few days.

Moreover, the three adjacent road sections are also rushing to be completed at an incredible speed.The operators of those three sections have already threatened that their tracks will be put into operation before the end of the year.

This shows that the current situation of the rail carriage can actually be avoided, and the current predicament is likely to be resolved.At this time, it is most important to speak cautiously.

The emperor listened with great interest to the reports of the love ministers below, until the excited ministers felt that something was wrong and gradually stopped talking, the emperor asked: "The streets in the capital have been in chaos for nearly a year. A good solution?"

The courtiers looked at each other.Seeing the end of the year, stopping the project in winter will not help the matter.It's freezing cold, even if the work is stopped, it's impossible to recruit labor to repair the road.

Wang Xian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, came out and said: "In today's climate, it is really difficult to make major changes in civil engineering. Even if the track laying project is stopped, only a rough passage can be repaired. If we really want to repair the road surface as before, I am afraid We have to wait until the spring of the next year, after the labor labor is called, to make arrangements."

Han Yanhui, who stood at the top of the list, frowned slightly, and the emperor saw him and asked, "What did Han Aiqing say?"

Han Yanhui stood up, bowed and replied: "When the rail carriages in the capital recruited operators, they divided the tracks into ten sections. Now two sections have been completed, and three sections are about to be completed. It is said that they will report to the Yamen for operation soon. It has already been done like this... If it stops, wouldn’t it be a waste of all the manpower and material resources? Weichen believes that it’s better to think about this matter, at least look at the operation situation, and then decide whether to ban it.”

The emperor swept his eyes around the courtiers, and said in a deep voice, "Since the ten road sections have been half completed, it is not a problem with the project itself, but the construction is not good. I wonder if I am right?"

His Majesty's tone was very bad, and a large group of people knelt down immediately.

"You Chenghui." The emperor called out.

Yin Youchenghui of Jingzhao Mansion was kneeling on the ground with a group of colleagues, not daring to raise their heads.Hearing that the emperor called him, it was not a good idea, so he hurriedly kowtowed again, and replied: "My minister is here."

The emperor's voice sounded without the slightest emotion: "As an official in charge of the capital, he has neglected the control of the areas under his jurisdiction, so that the streets of the capital have become such a difficult situation. Penalty for half a year."

ah?You Chenghui didn't know why this matter had been stabbed in his head, and quickly thanked him: "My minister is guilty. Thank you Sheng for going online."

The people around You Chenghui bent their waists even lower, almost prostrate on the ground.

The emperor continued to shout: "Ministry Minister Wang Xian."

"My minister is here." Wang Xian knew that he, the person in charge of the Ministry of Industry, would not be able to escape when he heard the emperor's trouble with You Chenghui.

"There is such a big gap in the progress of the track laying throughout the capital, and the construction site has encroached on a large area of ​​roads in the capital. As a second-rank official in charge of the Ministry of Industry, he turned a deaf ear to such chaos. I will be punished for half a year. Are you convinced?"

"The minister is guilty." Wang Xian lowered his head deeply.Does he dare to be unconvinced?Does this matter have anything to do with him?It was not the project that he had agreed to carry out.

The emperor went on to order: "Order the Yamen of the Beijing government to tidy up the streets of the capital before the end of the year. Especially in the construction site of the rail carriage, the Jingzhao Prefecture Cooperate with the Ministry of Industry, and expand the distance of more than ten feet or a few feet on both sides of the track as appropriate on the track laying site." The land is used as a construction site. Clear the rest of the road surface and do not occupy it arbitrarily. Those who violate the law will be held accountable by the Jingzhao government office. The work must be completed within five days."

After the emperor said a few words, the people who were still feeling dazed and aggrieved were secretly surprised.Wang Xian pondered in his heart, recalling the construction site for laying the track that he had seen from afar.The method His Majesty said seems to be really feasible. If it had been done a long time ago, wouldn’t the roads in the capital be so difficult and congested?

After the emperor ordered, he continued in a stern tone: "Since the start of the track project, the voices of complaints and criticisms have continued, and they have become more and more serious recently. But how many people really care about it and really want to solve it? Which one of you is involved in this matter?" Have you worked hard and put your mind into it?"

"Not a single one! In the end, when the sixth prince came back, he couldn't see the chaotic streets of the capital. He asked the steward of Prince Yu's mansion to measure the construction site, so he came up with such a method. People often say that eating the king's salary and being loyal to the king are things. With some care in state affairs, the streets of the capital will not be in chaos for nearly a year."

The Seventh Prince is on an errand, unlike Jin Rong, no matter how angry the emperor is, he can't hear or see.What's more, when all the civil and military officials in the court were reprimanded, His Royal Highness King Yu was the only one who was praised.

As soon as the seventh prince Jinyi returned to the mansion, he asked his long-term follower Yongfu to ask, "Didn't you let your people keep an eye on King Yu? Has King Yu been to the construction site for laying the track these days?"

Yongfu bowed and replied: "Prince Yu came back on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month. When he visited the houses of the two old princes on the second day, he stopped by to see the completed track on Changping Street. On the third day, he visited Duke Anguo's mansion. The next day the so-called When Qi Ye went to work, His Royal Highness King Yu went to the construction site more often, once a day, sometimes twice or three times."

"So, the reopening of the track section adjacent to Changping Street also started after Qi Ye started work?" Jin Yi asked.

Yongfu answered "yes" again.

Jin Yi dismissed Yong Fu and looked at his staff Liu Yu.

　Continue at nine.
