"Currently, no one in the imperial court has a sufficient understanding of railways and trains."
"Leave the railway to them, they will only manage it according to the old system and experience, which is obviously not suitable!"
Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng also stepped forward to help: "Your Majesty, it is really difficult for the old department to find people who know enough about railways and trains!"
"It's better to follow what the Protector said and transfer some familiar people to form a new department."
"This will prevent the different departments in the court from arguing!"
Seeing that both Fang Mou, Du Duan and Wei Zheng requested the establishment of a new department, Li Er secretly sighed helplessly.
Changsun Wuji was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils!
Li Er glared at Su Chen: "Then do you have the candidates to form a new department, and how will this new department be positioned?"
Su Chen cupped his hands and said: "I have records of the officials and craftsmen at all levels who participated in the railway construction and train development this time. I will go back and give the records to His Majesty and the ministers. You can choose for yourself!"
"As for how to determine the grades of new departments, how can I understand this?
It’s better for Your Majesty to come to an agreement with you all!”
Su Chen clapped his hands and picked himself clean!
Everyone murmured in their hearts: You said it nicely, these people are all your subordinates, no matter how you choose them, they are all yours!
However, everyone also understood that Su Chen proposed trains and railways alone. The craftsmen who made the trains were all trained by Su Chen. He had the biggest say in this matter!
So it's better to do what Su Chen said. If Su Chen really pissed off everyone and tricked everyone secretly, no one would be able to bear it!
Seeing this, Li Er didn't have much room to return the favor, so he had better carefully select some useful people!
"In that case, please submit the roster so that everyone can take a good look at it!"
"It's just kept in my carriage. Your Majesty just needs to send someone to pick it up!"
While Li Er sent people to get the roster, Changsun Wuji said again: "Although the railway needs to set up a new department for management, the Ministry of Industry is in charge of the world's projects after all, and the Ministry of Industry's participation is indispensable in this matter!"
"And I just remembered that many of your people involved in the construction of the railway were originally officials from the Ministry of Industry."
Su Chen smiled and said: "Zhao Guogong is right. Railway construction does require the participation of the Ministry of Industry."
"Most of the railways that have been completed so far were built under the management of Xu Jingzong, and he was able to achieve such results only by virtue of his status as Minister of Industry."
"This seems to be a good idea. Otherwise, in the future, the officials in charge of railway construction in the new department will have a part-time job in the Ministry of Industry. This will also facilitate communication!"
Changsun Wuji almost lost his breath and vomited blood. I want the Ministry of Works to participate in building the railway, not because I want you to create a hidden obstacle for the Ministry of Works!
Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui all nodded and said: "This is a good idea!"
"I didn't expect Xu Jingzong to do well this time!"
"How about letting Xu Jingzong try again?"
Changsun Wuji stared at Wei Zheng and the other three, so angry that he could not speak.
Su Chen continued: "As for those former officials from the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Guogong can ask them if they are willing to return to the Ministry of Industry!"
Changsun Wuji stared at Su Chen without saying a word.
Those few were squeezed out by the Ministry of Industry. It would be strange if they were willing to come back. What a silly question!
"It's useless, Mr. Zhao Guo, to glare at me. If you want to blame me, blame it on Wen Daya. He was the one who brought the Ministry of Industry to ruin!"
"If he had fully cooperated in building the railway, how could the Ministry of Industry be in such an embarrassing situation today?"
Changsun Wuji flicked his sleeves and ignored him.
This matter was indeed Wen Daya's fault.
But Wen Daya is now almost frightened to death by trains and railways. He can't even live for a few days. It's no wonder that he is useless!
At this time, the eunuch brought a large pile of notebooks.
"Why so many?"
Su Chen smiled and said: "It records in detail the specific work and completion status of each participating official and craftsman,"
"They are all original records and have not been compiled, so there are more,"
"I'm too busy all day, how can I have time to sort this out?"
Li Er had a headache and said, "Let it go first!"
At this moment, I didn’t even think about choosing a candidate.
"We'll talk about the new department later."
"One more thing, Su Chen, since you said you want to go out for a big meal, have you made arrangements in Guanzhou?"
Li Er asked.
Su Chen replied: "A lot of arrangements have been made, but it's hard to say whether they will be successful or not!"
"Your Majesty! And everyone, you also know that there are people who have always regarded everything in Guanzhou as a thorn in their side, and they have never stopped secretly sabotaging!"
"When I was in Guanzhou, some people dared to send dead soldiers to blow up the workshop, and sent people to pretend to be bandits to rob everywhere..."
"Once I leave, nothing may happen!"
Su Chen also had a headache when talking about this. Although Liu Mo and a group of officials in Guanzhou were able to implement policies according to Su Chen's plans in advance,
But it would be difficult for them to deal with all kinds of secret destruction!
Li Er thought for a while and said: "Guanzhou's industrial city experimental model must continue, and the production of rails and the manufacturing of trains are all in Guanzhou."
"There must be no chaos in Guanzhou!"
"Think about who can temporarily replace Su Chen and watch over Guanzhou?"
Li Er can't bear to leave Guanzhou now. Without Guanzhou, all railways and trains will be gone!
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't say anything.
What a joke, how can such a person exist?
Who knows who is behind the fight against Guanzhou?
Su Chen is not afraid of anyone. When the princes and grandsons see him, a mouse sees a cat. Yes,
He dared to lead troops into the governor's mansion of a state.
Even if other officials gave him three courages, he would not dare!
Su Chen said: "According to the current plan, Guanzhou's own development will be fine for the time being,"
"As for the secret sabotage, Your Majesty needs to worry more!"
Li Er frowned and asked: "When will the railway be built to Chang'an?"
"If we go to the north bank of the Weihe River, the roadbed has actually been ready in the past few days, but the supply chain of the railway track is not up to standard!"
"By the way, I heard that the roadbed construction that His Majesty ordered to stop is continuing to the south?"
Li Er nodded: "For the time being, let's build to the north bank of the Weihe River. It's only a few steps anyway."
Why doesn’t Li Er want to practice one more section?
Su Chen was too lazy to ask
As Li Er said himself, it's not far anyway.
"When the railway is repaired, I want to go to Guanzhou to see it myself!"
Everyone frowned and said nothing. Everyone was mentally prepared.
Li Er will definitely go to Guanzhou sooner or later, and he will definitely not feel at ease if he doesn't go and take a look.
He will definitely experience the speed of the train himself, that's for sure.
?It’s just that everyone didn’t expect Li Er to be so anxious.
"Su Chen, you come with me to Guanzhou again, and then it's not too late to prepare for a big meal!"
Su Chen stared: "Your Majesty, I have just returned from Guanzhou!"
"So what?"
"If you don't follow, who will go with the railway, train, and Guanzhou matters?"
