Royal Gold Magistrate

There was a fight in the hall.

And in the center of the vortex, she was trying to curl up in a quail outfit with her sleeves in her hands.

The core of the debate is still the same as the previous few days, the price of iron has skyrocketed. The previous few times he has been vague and confused, this time I am afraid it will be suspended.

The Eastern Suburb University and the Royal Academy of Sciences organized personnel to build a railway. There has been a lot of trouble.

As the railway was built and lengthened, and wasteland began to appear near populated areas, the matter began to ferment.

At first, no one cared about this trivial matter, thinking that it was just that the Academy of Sciences was going to make some weird inventions.

There are also all kinds of strange talks, and as the well-informed people in the capital through the Banshan Daily, they have heard too much, and their horizons have already broadened a lot.

But this time, it seems very different.

There is no end to the repair of this railway!It has been almost a year, and it is still under construction.

Moreover, during the construction process, people with good intentions often went to watch, and Jin Yiwei could always be seen patrolling along the railway.

All kinds of rumors began to spread among the people, and there were speculations about what the two railroad tracks were.

Of course, Fang Zheng didn't care about all kinds of superstitions that didn't affect the construction of the railway, and he would strike hard at those who spread rumors and make trouble!

After some revisions, folk wisdom has finally formed a unified caliber for railways.

After scientific research, Dongda wants to repair the armor on the dragon veins to guard the national destiny.

Therefore, a trend has also formed. Many people go for a walk along the railway line to digest food when they are full and have nothing to do.

Trying to be contaminated with dragon spirit, hoping to live a good life in the coming year.

As for the officials in the court, they dismissed this set of rhetoric.

Dragon veins?

There are official explanations for dragon veins!You casually repair a broken road and there is a dragon's vein in the ground?

After many investigations and studies, they also came to a unified result.

Fang Zhengyi burnt it with money, he just wanted to use iron to pave the road out of great joy!

And because there was not enough iron, only two specious iron bars were made to pave it.

That thing probably needs specially made wheels so that the carriage can run on it.

Nothing else is possible.

This conclusion is mainly due to the consideration that this guy has a criminal record and seems to have an unusual enthusiasm for road construction.

And that railway was obviously built next to the road between Taoyuan County and the capital.

From their point of view, the road from Taoyuan County to the capital is already unparalleled in the world.

Is it a good thing that it greatly exceeds the standard of ordinary roads?No, exceeding the standard too much is a waste of money!

Why are you so good at repairing? It’s fine if you can walk or not?

But he pays for it himself, and if he is willing to pave it, he will pave it. Anyway, it will all rust away in a few years, and it will be a joke at that time.

However, as the progress of railway construction has not stopped at all, the price of iron has risen again and again.

Rao Fang Zhengyi has purchased pig iron resources through various channels, which still caused the shortage of pig iron in Gyeonggi.

At this point, everyone is completely panicked!

Local tyrants are not scary, but they are afraid of local tyrants spending money randomly!

Salt and iron are national strategic resources. You are desperately looking at buying pig iron, which makes the market resources scarce and the price high.

What should the court do?

The Ministry of War, Housekeeping, and Industry were the first to discover that the expenditure had exceeded the budget, and they immediately hit it off and joined forces to launch an attack.

Although the current level of knowledge, we do not understand what economics is.

But they understand that supply and demand determine prices, which is an eternal truth!

Then let Fangzheng be unscrupulous and continue to build regardless of the cost.

Can the army and frontier soldiers still make military supplies?The Construction Bureau under the Ministry of Industry still has various projects, are they going on?

In the end, it was collected to the Ministry of Accounts, and all the expenses were counted on it.

"Sir Fang, please say something! Don't pretend to be okay, you are the one who caused the disaster!" Feng Jie from the Ministry of War has been staring at him for a long time.

Emperor Jing swept Fang Zhengyi's body and smiled wryly in his heart.

In the court, he was the most embarrassing one.

Although I don't know what the railway is for, but he moved the first shovel.

And people were saying at the time that they wanted to show their filial piety.

I can't help but show my filial piety to my son-in-law...and now I don't know how much money has been invested in it.

He didn't spend money from the imperial court to buy iron, so he is now in a dilemma.

Surrounded by the eyes of the 'pack of wolves', Fang Zhengyi stood up helplessly.

The road test will start in two days, and it will be completed in less than a month, and it will be a big news at that time.

Now these people are endlessly entangled, and the discussion is agitated. It is impossible not to give an explanation now.

"Your Majesty, I am building the railway for the livelihood of the people of the world. I hired countless hired workers during the construction of the railway, which has benefited many people. The common people all praise me for building the railway. It is a good deed. What is wrong with it?"

"Lord Fang, don't avoid the important and ignore the less important. You have no problem with spending your own money on what you repair. But now your actions have affected the price of iron ore, which in turn has affected the entire imperial court. This is no longer your family's business!" Feng Jay said seriously.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to delay now. The iron and stone used by the Ministry of War to cast guns, swords, and armor is unknown. Currently, the construction of railways takes up a lot of iron, which has seriously affected military resources, and even the price of private farm tools has also been affected. Please Your Majesty immediately order All the railways are dismantled, and the dismantled steel is purchased at a low price, and the ordnance is re-melted and cast.”

"The ministers and others agree, that steel is the most precious, and I don't hesitate to use real gold and silver for my great vision. Is there any reason in the world to put real gold and silver in the wasteland?"

"Lord Fang, even if you have money, you can't waste it like this for nothing! It's better to let the court take it away to recover some losses."

"Everyone is doing it for your own good, you can't do stupid things just because you're hotheaded!"

Demolished?Build ordnance?

Fangzheng was overjoyed, he could bear being scolded a few times, but now that it was almost finished, if he wanted to use the railway idea, he would definitely not be able to bear it!

"It must not be done. The railway is the most important weapon of the country. His Royal Highness and I have worked so hard to dismantle it. The steel used for the railway track is also specially re-melted and cast. What is the difference between buying it at a low price and robbing it?"

Emperor Jing frowned and said: "The most important weapon of the country? Fang Qing, what is the purpose of the railway? You have been vague before, why not just say it? Now it has affected the military affairs."

Seeing that he had reached the point where there was nothing to delay, Fangzheng said in a deep voice: "The railway is extraordinary. To put it bluntly, the railway will be a magic weapon to guard the destiny of the country in the future. I am afraid that someone will come out to disturb and cause trouble, and unexpected accidents will happen. The situation has not been publicly explained.”

Guard the national destiny?Isn't this a folk rumor? It really made a group of ordinary people blindfolded?

All the ministers were in an uproar, everyone went to Dongjiao University every month to attend lectures and study science, so you kid played superstition by yourself?

Everyone is abolished, and the boss is trying to guess why this broken railway is used, but in the end it is a metaphysical reason?

"It turns out that it is really like the folklore, to repair the armor of the dragon's veins?"

"Stop making trouble, when did Longmai run to the eastern suburbs. Master Fang, have you been tricked?"

"Master Fang, you must talk about science!!!"

Even Emperor Jing was a little flustered.

Zheng Yi has always been very shrewd, but was deceived by the wandering monster?I also believe that building a railway can guard the national destiny.

In order to protect the dragon's veins, throw money into it recklessly?

You can't be filial if you have filial piety. If you are down and out, I have to give you the bottom line.

"Your Majesty, please give me another two months. Within two months, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. If you are not satisfied by then, the railway will be dismantled, and you can take whatever you like for free. I, Fang Zhengyi, have absolutely no complaints!" Fang Zhengyi ignored the discussion and said loudly.

You can say whatever you like, as long as the railway is born and launched smoothly.

The ministers shook their heads and sighed.

There is no hope, superstition kills people.

Seeing that no one responded, Fangzheng was unwavering, and added: "When the time comes, if you are not satisfied, you will castrate me, and I will enter the palace to be the emperor's grandson's companion!"
