Prince Su Shu watched the scene outside the window passing by quickly.
Now the speed of the train has exceeded the maximum speed that the carriage can reach, which is about 70 kilometers per hour.
This is because the train has been replaced with a diesel locomotive, which can bring higher power to the train.
Diesel locomotives can generally run up to 100 kilometers per hour on test rails.
The current speed of special trains is mainly limited by the insufficient bearing capacity of the railway tracks.
Trains running at higher speeds require the support of better-performing rails.
The railway bridges and tunnels passing along the way also need to be redesigned.
Today's railways are designed and built according to the speed of steam trains.
While maintaining driving safety, the maximum speed is 70 kilometers per hour.
Freight trains with heavy loads will be slower and can only reach 50 kilometers per hour.
Prince Su Shu looked out the window and saw that the scene had changed from lush woods to hurried grass, and the leaves along the way had just sprouted.
He has come from the south to the north, closer to the capital.
There was a knock on the door of the private room where Prince Su Shu was staying, and he signaled his guard Dong Yunhan to open the door.
Zhao Hongyue, a doctor in the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Etiquette, walked in and reported with joy: "Your Highness, a documentary about the Emperor-class battleship has been produced. Do you want to watch it first?"
Prince Su Shu immediately stood up. This documentary was a business arranged by his father, and he had to watch it before sending it to his father.
If he doesn't pay attention to such an important thing, he will probably be tricked by others.
Prince Su Shu heard about the fight between two officials in the capital.
Someone bribed his opponent's steward, secretly changed his memorial, and said some treasonous words in it.
This memorial was not even sent to the father, but was stuck in the cabinet.
The Prime Minister at the time, Wei Shiming, was so scared that he was sweating profusely and immediately notified the Metropolitan Procuratorate to take the official away for further investigation.
In the documentary, if someone is unfavorable to him, several sets of highly suggestive scenes are shot.
If this happens, Prince Su Shu really can't explain it.
Accompanied by his guards, he came to the workshop where the documentary was being played.
All the glass in the workshop was covered with thick cloth, preventing any sunlight from entering, making the workshop very dark.
Prince Su Shu was sitting on a chair, with a white curtain hanging on the wall in front of him.
As soon as he sat down, a ray of light fell on the white curtain from behind.
The gate of Mawei Shipyard appears on the curtain.
At this time, a narration sound appears.
"This is Mawei Shipyard, one of the largest shipyards in the empire.
Today we are going to visit the Empire’s most advanced battleship, the entire process of the Emperor-class battleship from design to service.”
The documentary was shot strictly in accordance with the four stages of the design, construction, launching ceremony, and live-fire exercises of the Emperor-class battleship.
The documentary shows that under the wise leadership of the father, Mawei Shipyard was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and built the Emperor-class battleship step by step.
The naval admiral made it clear that the Emperor-class battleship is the most powerful battleship in the navy, and it is fearless of any opponent on the sea.
Prince Su Shu watched the documentary from beginning to end. He enjoyed watching it and found no problematic scenes in the documentary.
He immediately ordered his bodyguard Dong Yunhan: "You should seal the machine and the film. I will bring it to my father for a look."
Since Prince Su Shu already knew that there were officials who could deceive his opponents by exchanging notes, he would not be fooled.
No matter which version the Ministry of Rites prepares to broadcast nationwide, the version he hands over to his father can only be the version he personally reviews.
In this way, even if something happens in the documentary, it has nothing to do with him.
Zhao Hongyue watched Prince Su Shu do this, but she didn't say a word.
She had already thought of this situation before, so she asked her staff to stay up late and rush to produce the documentary before the train arrived in the capital.
Once they arrive in the capital, the documentary is still half-finished, so they may get involved in a fight.
Her small body cannot withstand the fighting skills of the big men above her.
Prince Su Shu praised the staff of the Propaganda Department for saying that the documentary was extremely well done.
He took the film back to his carriage.
Prince Su Shu stared at the film in a daze. The results of the documentary far exceeded his expectations.
He just saw the scene of Mawei Shipyard on the curtain, and thought he had arrived at Mawei Shipyard again.
The only distortion is that the picture is in black and white, but the documentary has been able to clearly show what should be shown.
He believes documentaries and movies will definitely cause a huge sensation.
…………………………
The train stopped at the Beijing Railway Station, and Prince Su Shu heard the announcement.
He stood up, stretched, and finally returned to the capital after a long absence.
He was living in Nanyang like a year. He was afraid that he would not be able to handle the case well, and he was also afraid that something would happen in the capital that would catch him off guard.
Now that everything has been resolved, he is back to this place where he feels at ease again.
Prince Su Shu left from the special passage of the train station, and the guards followed closely behind him carrying the box containing the film.
The guards from the East Palace have already brought the car in advance and are waiting here at the train station.
Dong Yunhan drove a car for Prince Su Shu, and they returned to the Forbidden City.
When Prince Su Shu passed by Taihe Street, he was very confused.
The gas station here is full of vehicles waiting to refuel.
You already have to wait in line at gas stations in Beijing, not to mention gas stations in other cities.
After handling the Nanyang smuggling case, he has already asked the local oil production plant to speed up the production of crude oil.
Limited by the weak industry in Nanyang, the construction speed of oil refineries is extremely slow.
He has already sent a telegram to his father that crude oil will be transported to various places in Nanyang.
A refinery is built at the receiving site to refine crude oil into component oils.
With the industrial strength of the empire's interior, it is not difficult at all to make a few simple stills to refine diesel.
All it takes is a slight improvement to the stills in the distillery.
He remembered that in the northern provinces, Shandong undertook a large number of refineries to provide diesel to nearby provinces.
This is a matter that everyone in the imperial court is paying close attention to, and those officials will not dare to delay it for even a moment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Under normal circumstances, the capital will never be short of diesel, but now there is a shortage of oil in the capital. This situation is absolutely unusual.
As the car drove into the Forbidden City, Prince Su Shu did not return to the East Palace, but went directly to the Qianqing Palace where his father was.
He took the files on the Nanyang smuggling den and the documentary film. After waiting for a while, he entered the Qianqing Palace.
Prince Su Shu had not entered Qianqing Palace for a long time. When he came here, he suddenly felt strange.
Emperor Su He saw the slightly weathered face of Prince Su Shu, but it showed more determination than before.
He praised: "Shu'er, you have done a great job in Nanyang.
Smuggling is poking holes in the empire. Anyone who does this will never be let go, no matter who is involved behind him."
When Prince Su Shu heard his father's praise, his heart suddenly relaxed.
He immediately took out the detailed files of the Nanyang case from his bag.
"Father, this is a detailed file on the Nanyang smuggling case, and it doesn't just involve the preliminary investigation.
He was also involved in the later detailed investigation of officials and clans in the Nanyang region.
The Nanyang smuggling case is a nest case of collusion between officials and businessmen.
Erchen believes that the empire should learn from the lessons of this case and introduce some policies to remedy the situation and prevent this kind of collusion between government and businessmen from happening again.
The son discovered all the early warning systems set up by the imperial court, whether it was secret documents or telegrams, or the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Parliament.
Because this is a smuggling case, the interests of a large number of people are involved.
They held silver coins in their hands and all kept silent, becoming part of a smuggling gang."
Emperor Su He said with satisfaction: "Shu'er, your observation is correct.
If a smuggling case involving a province occurs, it means that some of the empire's systems have failed and it is time to make adjustments according to the situation.
Shu'er should be thinking about this during this time.
I want to hear Shu'er's opinion. You have conducted investigations on the Nanyang frontline and have a better understanding of the local situation."
When Prince Su Shu heard his father's question, he immediately said respectfully: "Father, I just have some superficial opinions, and I will share them for your father's reference.
Erchen thought that it was very convenient for the province of Nanyang to control the entire Strait of Malacca, a busy and important waterway, for their smuggling business.
I thought it would be more appropriate to use the Strait of Malacca as the dividing line to divide Nanyang Province into two parts.
Because of the Strait of Malacca, the two provinces will inevitably have some conflicts of interest.
We are arranging for officials from different factions to serve in these two provinces to prevent officials from the two provinces from colluding.
In this way, even if another case occurs in a certain province, the court can get the news in time.
Erchen believes that important port cities should not be under the jurisdiction of local customs.
It should be directly managed by the General Administration of Customs.
Local tentacles do not involve customs, so that the tax security of the imperial court can be guaranteed."
After Prince Su Shu finished speaking, he noticed that his father's face was as usual, and he felt relieved.
This is his own way to solve the problem based on history and the current situation of the court.
Before the prince Su Shu, he had resisted the temptation to be in contact with his confidants.
He was afraid that the news reported by his confidants would lead him to say something very similar to the policy that the imperial court planned to implement.
If you look at it this way, you are copying the content of your homework, and will never be approved by your father.
Prince Su Shu's understanding of his father, even if what he said was full of loopholes, as long as he showed his unique thinking, he would be recognized by his father.
Emperor Su He looked at the somewhat nervous Crown Prince Su Shu with a smile on his face and said with approval: "Shu'er, you have taken on your own identity and viewed the government affairs.
You must have your own thinking on everything. Sometimes the interests of the royal family are different from those of the ministers.
I have heard from officials in the imperial court, they just think that if the governor is replaced, as long as the governor has high moral standards, the following things will not happen.
There are thousands of officials in the world, but how can there be so many saints with noble morals?
The emperor should use talents in an eclectic way.
Talented and virtuous, focus on training.
There are talents but no virtues, and training is restricted.
If you don’t have talent and have virtue, you don’t need to cultivate it.
People with both ability and political integrity are rare in the world.
The most common people are those who are talented but not virtuous and those who are not talented but virtuous.
If the emperor puts a mediocre official in the position of governor, he is irresponsible to the people.
When the emperor employs people, he should not think that everyone has both talent and virtue. He can do one thing well, and that is the talent available, but use various means to restrict him from doing bad things.
This is the perspective of the emperor looking at his ministers.
From the perspective of ministers, they all think that they are good ministers who govern the world.
I think that as long as a good official is sent to govern the place, all problems can be solved."
Prince Su Shu listened carefully to his father's words, which was conveying to him the experience of being an emperor.
My father could only say these words to him.
After Emperor Su He finished talking about what was in his heart, he praised: "The method proposed by Shu'er is very good. I will pass this method to the cabinet.
After letting the cabinet discuss it clearly, the imperial court will implement the re-division of the territory of Nanyang Province."
After Prince Su Shu reported this incident, he took out the documentary film.
"Father, this is a documentary filmed by my son when he went to Mawei Shipyard to participate in the launching ceremony of the battleship Qin Shihuang and collaborated with the Propaganda Department.
This documentary records the entire process from the redesign of the Qin Shihuang battleship to its commissioning.
During the filming process, Erchen has been cooperating with the Publicity Department to shoot the documentary to ensure that the content of the documentary is basically true."
Prince Su Shu dare not say that it is completely true. This documentary does use some artistic processing methods.
Emperor Su He arranged for the documentary to be played in the palace next to Qianqing Palace.
He felt very emotional when he saw the large black and white plaque of Mawei Shipyard appearing on the curtain.
He never thought that he would be able to see a movie screened again in his lifetime.
Emperor Su He pointed at the screen and said: "Under the lens of the camera, no one is completely real, and they will basically hide a little bit.
It's like in front of me, no one will be as cool as in front of friends.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As long as the things in the documentary are logical and mostly true, it’s fine.”
The projector was rotating, and the details of the Mawei Shipyard were presented before the eyes of Emperor Su He and Prince Su Shu.
Emperor Su He turned around and asked: "Shu'er, what do you think of Mawei Shipyard?"
Prince Su Shu did not expect that his father would not ask him about the Emperor-class battleship, but about the Mawei Shipyard.
He immediately recalled what he was thinking at the Mawei Shipyard, and replied without thinking: "Father, I think the system of the Young Master is very bloated.
Especially for Shaofu's industrial chain plan, as the number of factories increases, the process of doing one thing is too long.
They can still barely maintain it now, but it will be difficult for them to continue to develop.
Qingdao Shipyard has advanced diesel engines but has not built qualified warships. This is the problem.
Erchen believes that we should learn from Mawei Shipyard and let a leading factory merge factories related to the industrial chain to form an entity composed of multiple factories like the coal and steel complex.
The imperial court gave these entities full autonomy, and the Shaofu only issued tasks, managed personnel and other important tasks.
The main task of the Young Master should be to design the comprehensive development of the empire's industry."
With the introduction of Prince Su Shu, the documentary basically ends.
Emperor Su He looked at the defense and firepower of the Emperor-class battleship built by Mawei Shipyard.
He nodded with satisfaction and said: "Shu'er is right, Mawei Shipyard has performed very well.
Shaofu has become very bloated and should really spin off its factories.
These factories form group companies according to different fields.
Set up several group companies in an industry to let them compete with each other to prevent these groups from becoming corrupt."
Prince Su Shu immediately said in surprise: "My father is wise."
