Royal Gold Magistrate

The five thieves with different accents were still defending themselves.

Fangzheng stepped forward and grabbed the fattest one, and said coldly, "Where did you guys come from? Who gave you the courage to come here and steal Jinyiwei's things?"

The man panicked: "My lord, my lord, we really didn't know that this was something from Jin Yiwei. Someone put iron on the ground, we thought we didn't want it, so we took it away, who would spread so much iron on the ground for no reason... "

"Not honest, is it? Take it down and have a separate interrogation, and I'll have an interrogation result within a cup of tea!" Fang Zheng sternly said.

Jin Yiwei responded and stepped forward in unison, escorting them away for interrogation.

Li Yuanzhao sighed and said, "Old Fang, it's not an option to go on like this. If it's not possible, let the Banshan newspaper publicize it. Stealing the rails will go to jail."

Fangzheng shook his head.

Before the train came out, there should be no fanfare publicity. He can rest assured only if it is 100% successfully displayed in front of the world, and there must be no twists and turns.

If it is made public, the public opinion of the people and the opinions of the court will inevitably interfere with the progress, and even stop the project directly.

In addition, the engineering verification may be successful, but in practice, there will definitely be many new problems.

What if the real car hit the road and cheated?Or a boiler explosion, these are all possible.

Therefore, if the current influence can be reduced, it will be reduced.

But today it is also a lesson.

Maybe it's the way of thinking. He took countless trains in his previous life and never considered these issues.

The rails are dead and nailed to the ground. It is too difficult to steal it, and it is also very troublesome to sell the stolen goods later.

Money is still touching people's hearts. I didn't expect that someone would dare to take risks and would be willing to do this.

"Your Highness, can't the rails be made longer? For example, two feet long, so that it will be much more difficult to steal." Fang Zheng asked.

Li Yuanzhao thought about it and said: "No, I hope to make it longer, but after repeated experiments, half a foot long is the most suitable for transportation and the highest construction efficiency. If it is longer, it will slow down the efficiency. Newspapers can only be found in a stupid way to find someone to read."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Yiwei, who had not been away for a long time, had already returned quickly.

Loudly reported: "Your Highness, your lord has been interrogated. These few people are habitual thieves in Beijing, and they got together from all over the world."

"The railroad track has been spotted by many thieves in the dark. They are the first wave of action. My lord, how do we deal with these people?"

Li Yuanzhao said in surprise, "Oh? Why is the Jinyi Guard interrogating prisoners so quickly?"

Jin Yiwei puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Return to Your Highness, our lord told us a new method of handling cases today, called the Prisoner's Dilemma, and using this method can quickly solve the case."

Li Yuanzhao's eyes lit up: "Tell me what is the prisoner's dilemma?"

"It is to detain these prisoners alone, and take advantage of their mutual distrust to coerce and lure them to make a confession."

Jin Yiwei spoke concisely, and Fang Zhengyi nodded appreciatively.

It's okay, the learning ability is really fast, and he is worthy of being the elite of my Jinyiwei.

"How did you do it?" Li Yuanzhao asked.

"Due to time constraints and heavy tasks, I have made some adjustments to the Prisoner's Dilemma." The Jin Yiwei seemed a little cautious, "We separated the five people, picked the one who seemed the scariest, and told him that if he didn't confess, he would be imprisoned for ten years. They would feed him the shit of other confessors. Then they gave him four piles of shit, and he did it all on the spot!"

What kind of new torture is this?

Li Yuanzhao's face lost all blood in an instant...

"Did I teach you this way? Who the hell told you to play like this!" Fang Zhengyi's old face was also blackened. "I teach you the Prisoner's Dilemma, if you change it yourself, it's superfluous!"

The Jinyiwei led by Lao Tzu used such dirty methods?If it spreads, the face will be lost!

"Master, listen to me..."

"In public, you have to call your job! Don't think that you can break the rules just because you are from Taoyuan County!"

Jin Yiwei said aggrievedly: "My lord, it is you who said that the law should be enforced softly, petty theft does not require corporal punishment... and only half a cup of tea is given, the humble official can only do this."

"Okay, good luck! Jin Yiwei has made you lose face, and now you want to blame me?" Fang Zheng said angrily.

"Okay, okay, old Fang." Li Yuanzhao came out to smooth things over, and waved at Jin Yiwei, "It's a good idea, but next time you don't want to do anything, go back and continue watching the prisoner."

"Wait a minute." Fangzheng stopped him and arranged: "Those people don't need to be locked up. Since they are all habitual thieves, they should be sent back to the capital to find someone to accompany them and let them mix into the band of thieves. Grab it right away."

"Yes!"

Jin Yiwei left quickly, Li Yuan looked at Fang Zhengyi and smiled playfully: "Old Fang, you are good at playing shit."

Fangzheng cleared his throat, changed the subject, and said, "Your Highness, let's talk about specific issues, don't be joking. I will arrange a patrol team for the construction of the railway track, and find someone to build a guard post on the road. By the way, after the railway track When casting, remember to print the serial number, so we can track it down.”

"It's okay in the early stage, but in the later stage, the railway is long. Can your manpower of Jinyiwei be enough? What if you ask outsiders to guard and steal it, this rail is very valuable." Li Yuanzhao worried.

"Indeed, it's hard to manage the railway when it's long." Fangzheng fell into deep thought, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, "I have a way. There are many industries in Taoyuan County, and there are some factories. I will make some adjustments when I go back. Plan to build new factories. In the future, when new factories are established, these factories can also be responsible for a certain section of railway.”

"It's about their own interests, and they will definitely do their best to do things."

Li Yuanzhao clapped his hands and said pleasantly: "You reminded me, if the railway is built in the future, wouldn't the land along the way be expensive? Then we should buy all the land along the railway now? Let's go, Lao Fang, let's go to the dental office to reclaim the land."

Li Yuanzhao grabbed Fang Zhengyi's arm and was ready to leave in a hurry.

But Fangzheng didn't move at all under a pull.

Li Yuanzhao raised his head in doubt: "Why don't you leave, it's a chance to make a lot of money."

"Whatever piece of land your Highness wants, just ask me to buy it." Fang Zhengyi said indifferently.

"What, what do you mean?"

"Oh, the land along the railway line can be bought, I have already bought it all, and it is all mine. I can sell it to you at cost price if your Highness wants to buy it."

"..." Li Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and said, "You thought about it a long time ago? Why don't you take me with you? That's not interesting."

"Which one of us buys is different, don't bother Your Highness, you can save some trouble by asking me to buy it."

"Hey, that's fine!" Li Yuanzhao chuckled, and then said: "But now there is another important problem. Our railway needs too much iron to repair the tracks, and I'm afraid it will cause a lot of impact."

"Since you want to keep it secret, how will the court respond and explain it?"

Fangzheng rubbed his brows and sighed: "What are you explaining? The construction should be done as soon as possible. There is pressure from the imperial court. Let's delay it for a year or so and try to finish it as soon as possible."
