Datang first village

[Ask for a monthly ticket, the last half hour, please everyone's support, the difference between a few votes, I hope for help]

Hou Junji was terrified, so terrified that he would die.

He had just sat down as the head of the Tianying Pavilion when he was shocked, even though Hou Junji had experienced many battles.On the battlefield where no blood can be seen in Chaotang, the invisible knife is even more terrifying.

He didn't dare to come directly to see King Qin Li Yuanxing, and called a meeting in Tianying Pavilion to discuss this matter.

At the same time, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, the three most powerful people in the old Qin palace, were invited to ask Qin Wang Li Yuanxing for a way to save his life.

Tianying Pavilion!

Hou Junji had been silent for half an hour, just listening to the discussions of the cabinet members.

Gao Jian said to Hou Junji: "Hou Shangshu, it is my nature to be loyal to the country!"

Hearing Gao Jian's words, Hou Junji wanted to scold Gao Jian at that time, his wisdom when he was fighting against foreign businessmen in the business circle was eaten by dogs.What are you saying here to be loyal to the country?But helplessly, these words cannot be swearing after all, after taking a deep breath, Hou Junji spoke.

"Gao Shangshu, Hou Mou went to war for the country, and the body was shrouded in horse leather. But this matter is different, the Holy One is wise. There is a telegraph machine on the flying boat, so you can use the telegraph to contact you if you have important matters, but you can't ask for instructions on everything. The Holy Majesty Not in Chang'an, many small things that are not big things are probably important things."

Gao Jian nodded: "That makes sense!"

"Hou's position has been stared at by countless people. Hou has only been the Minister of the Ministry of War for a few months, but at the same time he has become the owner of the Tianying Pavilion. It can be said that he climbed high and fell hard. Tianying Pavilion handles daily In government affairs, there is no mistake in mind. In a word, I am afraid of being framed by political enemies!"

Hou Junji even said that his political enemies framed him, so there was nothing else he couldn't say.

"What does the supervision of the country represent? Those who supervise the country in all dynasties are either princes or princes. It's the turn of the courtiers. Even though the sage is wise and tolerant, they can't stand the villain's words. You must know that some things are very scary in themselves. It's not just a matter of waiting, but on a small scale, it's the matter of the five pavilion masters of Tianying Pavilion. On a large scale, the entire Tianying Pavilion must be careful."

In the era of imperial power, whoever dares to peek at the artifact will die.

So it is normal for Hou Junji to be afraid.

Gao Jian said with a smile: "There are so many worries there, so of course a certain person won't say anything like not doing well. In the Ministry of Commerce, several servants restrict each other in reviewing qualifications, just for the sake of Don't follow the truth, since no one is looking for trouble, then there is nothing wrong with the upper and lower levels."

Hou Junji understood, this idea is really good.

It is not afraid to find someone to restrict Tianying Pavilion and then supervise the country.

But who can restrict Tianying Pavilion? Who else in the Tang Dynasty can restrict the matter of supervising the country that His Royal Highness King Qin has rejected?

On the other side, in the Qinling Mountains.Li Yuanxing was talking to Li Jing and the other three about his ideas on policymaking power. The policymaking power is to allow ordinary officials to directly write to Tianying Pavilion for government affairs within their own management scope. county policy.

What's more, national policy can be changed.

Of course, changing the national policy is just an attitude. If you really want to change it, I am afraid that the movement will be too big.

"This proposal is acceptable, but there must be a process." Fang Xuanling supported Li Yuanxing's proposal.

As long as you can support it, Li Yuanxing said in his heart that this is the first step in the decentralization of Tianying Pavilion.Once this move is made, the common people will know what Tianying Pavilion is doing every day, and what is the direction of Datang's national policy.

Li Yuanxing didn't care about the specific details anymore, he believed that Fang and Du would definitely find a solution.

"Let's talk about Tianying Pavilion. In fact, Hou Junji is afraid of this king and understands." Li Yuanxing brought the topic back to the matter of supervising the country: "Actually, it is good to let the three provinces review some important decisions of Tianying Pavilion. Then give the Court of Remonstrance some more powers and let them supervise the important cases approved by Tianying Pavilion!"

Separation of powers?

Fang Xuanling didn't have any particularly good ideas either, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to travel, and there was no prince to supervise the country.Then the Tianying Pavilion and the Supervisor of the Kingdom might not be able to escape, and Hou Junji had a good personal relationship with them, so Fang Xuanling couldn't bear to put Hou Junji on fire.

Qin Wang Li Yuanxing's proposal is acceptable.

Li Yuanxing kept the three of them for lunch before sending the three of them away from Qinling. He thought they would discuss some details when they went back.

Seeing the three walk away, Li Yuanxing let out a long breath.

It's better to stay away from the court. If you don't stick to the side, you can be a referee forever, not even a chess player.

"Your Highness, what are the arrangements for the afternoon." Pei Xi asked next to him.

The visit of the three of Li Jing disrupted Li Yuanxing's original plan, so Pei Xi came to ask for instructions.

Li Yuanxing thought for a while: "Order to choose a place to set up camp, Princess Yu stays to rest. You take a few people and accompany me to the construction site. Don't be so ostentatious when you change into casual clothes."

Road construction in the Qinling Mountains is also a major event.

The road built by Li Yuanxing is more expensive than the original design.

The original design was a railway, and the original design was to build a section and walk a section, and transport materials in through the railway.When the construction actually started, it was found that manpower could not use this method to deploy it at all. Except for some people beside the machine, the rest could not exert enough strength.

The Ministry of Industry has surveyed this road many times, so the railway and the mountain road were built at the same time.

Railways are required to be straight, but mountain roads can bend along the mountain, and horse-drawn carriages play a big role in transportation.

At present, the railway has been built for more than 40 miles, the mountain road has been built for [-] miles, and there are almost [-] miles of roads that can be walked by carts with cement.Moreover, after the mountain rocks from the road construction are broken, they can be used as roadbeds, and there is no need to transport them from a distance. Every time a section of the mountain road is waiting, a small stone crusher is pulled over and the gravel is piled on the side of the road.

Li Yuanxing, who was wearing casual clothes, walked to the construction site, where a relatively difficult section of the Qinling Mountains was being drilled.

There are three major difficulties. The first is that the soil and rocks here are soft and there is a possibility of landslides.The second is that there will be groundwater when the tunnel is opened here. This is a problem that the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty have never encountered before. Drainage is the first step, and how to ensure the foundation is the second step.

The most difficult thing is that the section of about [-] steps here can only be dug by hand, and the movement of the machine may make the rocks even more unstable.

The Japanese people have only been working here for two days, and they are just getting acquainted.

However, the Japanese did a good job of digging holes in mountains.

"It seems that the second hole over there has stopped working." Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand and asked Pei Xi next to him with some doubts.

Pei Xi followed Li Yuanxing's hand and looked over. It was true that work was suspended there. Many people gathered around outside the cave, as if they were talking about something?

Looking further away, the rest of the construction site is still in full swing.

Li Yuanxing didn't ask Pei Xi to inquire, he just asked Pei Xi to get a sign for construction site inspection, and then he, with only four guards, walked into the construction site as a construction site inspection.

There, there were two foremen, one was speaking in Chinese and the other was speaking in Japanese.

"One cart of material costs ten pennies. Push it in, and count the money when you come out."

Li Yuanxing stood calmly in the distance, watching what happened here.There are almost a thousand people around here, but the stations are clearly separated, the Tang people stand on one side, and the Japanese people stand on the other side, and there is no communication with each other.They were all listening to the foreman's speech. Li Yuanxing didn't hear what the foreman said just now.

"Go and find out what happened here?" Li Yuanxing whispered to Pei Xi.

The two foremen standing on the platform kept whispering, but Pei Xi found a strong man wearing the badge of the captain of the craftsman, inquired about what happened here, and then led the strong man to Li Yuanxing.

"What happened here?"

"Returning to you, the roof collapsed fifteen minutes ago. At first, the brothers felt water dripping from the top of their heads."

Hearing dripping water, Li Yuanxing is not a major in civil engineering, so he didn't understand it very well: "This dripping water should come from the spring water in the mountains, right?"

"On the 23rd of last month, water was dripping from the hole in front. The foreman of the team didn't take it seriously at that time, but sent someone to reinforce the roof. , As a result, the roof collapsed that afternoon, 40 people died and more than [-] were injured.”

Li Yuanxing knew about the accident.

However, there are various levels of management in charge of road construction, and it is not easy for Li Yuanxing to ask for details. He only knows that the matter is still being processed.

Unexpectedly, when the strong man talked about the dead, his face was a little red: "I am not very good at writing, so I asked someone to write a report to the foreman above. I thought that this was a mistake by the team, and that the person in charge of support was improper. It turned out that they were not dead yet, it’s just that the heavens don’t have eyes, and they don’t accept it!”

Li Yuanxing understood that this was an engineering error, and the person involved has not been punished.

Pei Xi said from the side: "You have to trust the foremen at all levels above. In this kind of thing, saving people is the first thing to do. Then we will make a detailed investigation and give an explanation. If you do something wrong, you should be punished. How to punish is also up to the Tang Dynasty." Law. It's only a few days, you don't have to worry about getting angry, but here, what's the matter."

After listening to Pei Xi's words, the team nodded vigorously: "This brother is right."

"Besides, I saw dripping water. Because of what happened last time, everyone retreated first. Fortunately, the roof collapsed as soon as the people retreated. Not much collapsed, only a few meters, and some fell. It's no more than a dozen feet square stone."

"It didn't hurt anyone!"

"No, a few people fell. This should not be regarded as an injury. We are discussing what to do next. I think that old craftsman Bai from the Ministry of Industry will come over after a while. He is a capable person. Waiting for him to come over first will make everyone feel at ease." The strong man said that he was also happy.

Obviously, these craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are still very trusted by the workers.

"Then what's the matter with saying that a cart costs ten cents?" Li Yuanxing asked again.

"The roof has collapsed, and the inside is scary anyway. Adding money and transporting materials to repair the roof is also risking your life." (To be continued.)
