The cabinet is still thinking wildly, the courtiers are still waiting and watching, and the Chen family is still preparing for the banquet...~
At this time, all rail stations in Guochao posted announcements at the same time: In view of the different rail billing between Chengdu Prefecture, Langzhou and the imperial court, the rails are not considered to be of the same type. Therefore, the imperial rail transportation will no longer enter Langzhou.
within the territory.
All passengers and cargo going to Langzhou are only transported to Zizhou...
At the same time, the guards of Gongfang City, in full gear, set off towards the country, prefectures and counties, carrying orders from Gongfang City to collect the muskets...~
I was dumbfounded. All the courtiers who paid attention to this matter were dumbfounded.
No one expected this to be the case.
Everyone can imagine what the Langzhou Railway would be like without the main line connection.
The reason why the track was able to form a large scale in Guochao in a short period of time and run through all the prefectures, counties and counties in Guochao is precisely because of its connection.
For example, if you are in Bianliang and want to go to Langzhou, you only need to buy a ticket in Bianliang and then change the rail carriage at different stations.
There is no need to consider the safety along the road, or even the hotel, the track will arrange everything... ~ The track has been seamlessly connected with the Yizhan Inn.
This is very worry-free and labor-saving whether it is freight or passenger transportation.
Even if you have small items, as long as you check them in Bianliang, the track will deliver the items to Langzhou and return with the recipient's receipt, and then calculate the cost.
These are also the basis for making local, state, county, and county tracks profitable.
However, this time, the officials were forced to drain the firewood.
How could this happen? I’m all asking myself.
Langzhou is over, this is the next thought. Langzhou Chen family is over, this is the next thought. The benefits of blending in the Langzhou track are gone, this is the thought of those involved.
There are millions of people in Bianliang, many in Sichuan, and many in Langzhou. People who are on the eighth day of the year always want to send something to their hometown. However, on this day, they suddenly discovered that the delivery station in Bianliang no longer accepts mail from Langzhou.
Huo... He said it was Langzhou's matter and the Chen family had the final say, so he wouldn't let us in.
The people are ignorant. They don't know what's going on with the imperial court and Langzhou, but they know the power of the Chen family in Langzhou.
"Does the court not care?"
"Care? What to care about? Langzhou is not rebelling. It's all about making a living. If you make money, he won't make any money. It's all about money, and the court can't control it."
Is this a sensible person? Come on, the provincial court came forward to explain.
"Isn't it the same if I didn't mail it before? At worst, I'll just have to find someone to help me take it back."
"How can it be the same? It will take at most seven or eight days to mail it. Find someone to take it with you... Now even carriages don't sell tickets to Langzhou. It would be troublesome to go to Langzhou. What does the Chen family want to do?"
Isn't it just a transfer of conflict? It's very simple. It is said that scholar-bureaucrats care most about reputation. I wonder what the Chen family will think about it.
Only the Chen family knew how the Chen family considered it. However, officials similar to the Chen family in the court were anxious.
This time, the officials did not use the power of the court at all, but used measures that had nothing to do with power. However, the effect produced was sharper than the power.
If it is a political matter, ministers and workers can always find some entry points to argue, but here... there is no place to start.
What should I say? That Gongfang City shouldn’t be like this? In fact, Gongfang City’s reasons are quite good. Since the rates are different and the ownership is different, it’s up to me whether I do business with you or not.
At this time, the courtiers discovered that they were too closely connected with the imperial court. Not only the track, but the entire life seemed to be inseparable from the imperial court... No one would think that Gongfang City did not belong to the imperial court.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation all depend on the imperial court, or in other words, rely on the imperial court's dispatch and transportation. Silk from Sichuan, embroidery from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, cloth and cotton from Hehuang. Rice from Annan, millet from Hedong, and aquatic products from Dengzhou.
The construction of Fangcheng, the giant trees of Chengdu Prefecture, the cement of Gongfangcheng. And this rail carriage that runs through the country and dynasty...
The key is that there are benefits everywhere, benefits that people are reluctant to give up.
At this time, I really felt a little frightened after thinking about it, and I suddenly realized that what is really happening now is that the imperial court has me, and I am separated from the imperial court.
As a result, Lu Huiqing began to get busy. After understanding the situation in Langzhou, those businesses in the country that had not been approved by the imperial court submitted applications for approval to Shiyi Temple in a swarm. Among them were applications that required the unified implementation of the imperial court's rail billing standards.
The desk of Shiyi Temple is full.
"Fighting against an official? This is not the way to seek death!"
Lu Huiqing couldn't help but sigh. How many years has it been, whether in part or in whole, that minister had a record of winning against the officials? Regarding the discussions in the court during this period, Lu Huiqing was not worried about the officials at all. Because
, the official family is a master who can deceive people better than him.
"The official... this... alas..."
Fu Bi was right again, but he didn't know how to talk to the officials. It felt like he had mixed feelings.
He was worried for nothing, but the official's actions really left him speechless. What is this? Bullying is not.
Now the ministers in the court have forgotten the idea of being enemies with the Chen family of Langzhou, and have also forgotten the idea of taking advantage of Langzhou to ask for some benefits from the court. They all agreed that this is the Chen family of Langzhou.
The family caused trouble for everyone and sought death! In the end, they even dragged everyone into the trap.
Also, since Langzhou can be solved in this way, the officials can use the same method to solve all situations similar to Langzhou in the country to achieve true control of the court.
"Guan Jia, is the article in the Chengdu newspaper an instruction?"
Fu Bi finally came to his senses at this time, everything seemed to be arranged.
"Fu Xiang, how could you have such an idea?" Zhao Xi looked at Fu Bi, a little dazed.
"Prime Minister Fu, I do have an idea of solving things like this between the country and the DPRK, and I have been looking for an entry point. The article published by the Chengdu Arrival News is just a coincidence."
"If I hadn't had earlier thoughts, I probably wouldn't have gotten angry because of an article published in the newspaper. It was just an excuse to use the topic."
"Guan family, why don't you deal with it directly from the beginning?"
"It's easy to deal with Langzhou directly, but I don't want to go through that effort in each county. Prime Minister, if we deal with Langzhou directly from the beginning, the court will not pay such high attention, and the courtiers will not have such a reaction.
, the effect will not be as good as it is now.”
Indeed, before attracting the attention of the courtiers, no matter what method the officials use, they will be regarded as an exception by the courtiers, and most people will not even care. But now, after nearly half a year of delay, the attention of the courtiers has been drawn in.
Then, in an unimaginable way, with universal implications, the same type of incidents in the entire dynasty were dealt with once and for all.
In fact, Zhao Xi also wanted to tell the courtiers that the court was quite frightened when they took it seriously.
