After drinking the strong tea handed over by Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen looked drunk. Except for his eyes flushed because he drank too much wine, he looked extremely energetic.

Facing the gaze that Emperor Chongzhen cast, Wang Chengen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the morale of the Tianjin Guards is available at this time is very different from before."

After arguing, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Sorry people to prepare more cattle and sheep and send them. When you look back, remember to let Duke Cheng and Duke of the United Kingdom draw a hundred households from Tianjin Guards and guard the palace."

Only after Wang Chengen bowed and replied again did Emperor Chongzhen lie down and rest.

On the school ground today, half of the true feelings of Emperor Chongzhen were revealed, while the other half was purely acting.

As for acting skills, Emperor Chongzhen said that even if I can’t get a little golden man, I have to be a movie star like a Golden Horse, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers!

Since he came through time, Emperor Chongzhen's acting skills have made great progress. Not only is the young and handsome guy who only had face paralysis, his acting skills were not good enough, and he died sooner or later on the dragon throne, but he also wanted to be the emperor for more than ten years?

After sleeping until dawn the next day, after eating something simple, Emperor Chongzhen met with Wen Tiren who had been waiting outside the door again.

Wen Tiren is really worried that there is a prime minister who is more depressed than himself in this world?

The emperor was drunk and drunk. Although the more he thought about it, the more he became, the more he was, could he say that Emperor Chongzhen was pretending to be drunk on purpose? As long as Emperor Chongzhen did not admit it, he was really drunk and drunk, who knows?

The key is that the emperor made a mistake after drinking, and the words he said were so fatal!

As soon as he saw Emperor Chongzhen, Wen Tiren bowed and said, "I will report to Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to issue an edict. Don't let the soldiers of the garrison disclose a word last night, otherwise there will be trouble!"

Emperor Chongzhen, who drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge with only a big prawn with an arm in the morning, was obviously much more energetic. After hearing Wen Tiren's words, he smiled and said, "What's wrong tomorrow night? I've just accompanied the soldiers for the New Year. What can I do if it is spread?"

Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty said something last night, don't you remember?"

Emperor Chongzhen said curiously: "Oh? What did I say?"

Wen Tiren was also a little confused. Did Your Majesty pretend? Or did you really not remember?

After thinking for a long time, Wen Tiren tentatively said: "Your Majesty said yesterday that he would take the soldiers to kill all the barbarians..."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup he had just delivered to Wen Tiren, then took a beautiful sip and said, "So what? At worst, there will be barbarians who will cause trouble. Then, I will send a large army to quell the rebellion. What are you going to worry about?"

Emperor Chongzhen’s understatement made Wen Tiren stunned. What you said is so nice!

Still put down the rebellion? They are just your foreign vassal. Is it really good if you use the word "put down the rebellion"?

Before Wen Tiren could say something, Emperor Chongzhen changed his conversation and said, "I and my beloved ministers have been staying in Tianjin for a long time, and Sun Zhixie and others have received the punishment they deserve. Why don't you go back to Beijing in the past few days?"

Wen Tiren bowed and said, "When will I return to the capital? I will rely on your Majesty. It's just what happened last night?"

Seeing that Wen Tiren was still trying to get entangled with what happened last night, Emperor Chongzhen put down his teacup and smiled and said, "Wen Aiqing is worried too much.

I probably remembered something I said last night, but it was nothing. Don’t worry, Wen Aiqing.

However, after returning to Beijing this time, he would start to re-enact the Ming Dynasty law. I wonder what Wen Aiqing thought?"

Wen Tiren had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​asking Emperor Chongzhen to issue an edict to block the news and bowed: "Your Majesty, it has been nearly three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The laws he enforced were still made by Emperor Taizu Gao, so many places needed to be modified.

But if you change it today, what should you do? What should you do if you understand it? The law that suits today may be suitable for tomorrow? I have been thinking about this issue and always thinking about how to practice this law, so that you will not need to be re-edited within a hundred years."

Emperor Chongzhen said silently: "Okay, everyone says I am so happy with me. In my opinion, Wen Aiqing is actually the same.

Wen Aiqing might as well think about it. Not to mention the Hongwu period, even if it was counted in all dynasties, it was similar to our Ming Dynasty?

The territory of our Ming Dynasty is so wide, from North Korea, the most numerous to the west to the Pamirs, from Nurgandus, the northernmost to Myanmar, the fast horses are constantly going day and night, I’m afraid it will take more than ten minutes, right?

Not to mention that I, Ming Dynasty, have many overseas lands, and new trains and other things, have they been there in all dynasties?"

Wen Tiren bowed and said, "What Your Majesty said is that once this law is meditation, it will be easily changed.

If it takes three to five years to re-repair, it will take time and effort to stop talking about it. What law should the people take?”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Wen Aiqing's worries make sense, but now it is very different from previous dynasties, so the matter of the law is also different.

In my opinion, it is better to add new laws left by Emperor Taizu Gao to make them the basic laws and regulations. The rest will add new laws and regulations to this basis to make them supplement.

For example, if this civil litigation matter, such as this train, is added or modified without violating the basic laws, it will be rebuilt every three or five years, but it is actually nothing?"

Wen Tiren pondered and said, "What Your Majesty said is very true. It is only a matter of law cultivation, and it is always important. Is it better to call the officials in Beijing to discuss it in a collective manner after returning to Beijing?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "This is okay, I dare not hope that this law can be repaired in a short while.

But there is one thing, Wen Aiqing must remember that no matter who dares to suck Fushou cream, he will be unforgivable to die; no matter who dares to sell Fushou cream, he will be exiled in the three tribes of Lingchi, Yi, and the rest of the nine tribes!

This article is written into the Basic Law and makes it an iron law. My descendants will never change it!"

As the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, Wen Tiren naturally had seen the harm of Fushou Paste. Although he had a lot of words about Emperor Chongzhen's every time he asked the three tribes of the barbarians, Wen Tiren also knew in his heart that if he didn't take heavy measures, he would not stop this thing at all.

Human nature is greedy!

When the white silver is in front of you, someone may be able to withstand it. He also has to consider the risk of selling Fushou cream. But what about 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0

Who can bear it?

Even the iron tools and grains that were originally sold to Jiannu for money, let alone things like Fushou Paste!

I am afraid that the saints will be jealous of so much money. Who dares to block everyone's wealth and tear him apart!

Not to mention the distance, the Qiu Ba people in the Ming Dynasty are all sharpening their knives, hoping that there will be some trouble to make military achievements. How can others be spared?

It would be fine if this thing was sold overseas. Wen Tiren believed that he was not a gentleman. All he had to do was to do was to do his best to sell this thing to foreign tribes, so just sell it!

But once this thing is sold to the Ming Dynasty in large quantities, what will the Ming Dynasty world become? It makes people think it is terrible!

It is precisely because of this that Wen Tiren did not object to Emperor Chongzhen's proposal to use severe punishment to cure Fushou Paste.

Not only do you use the heavy dictates in troubled times, but also the heavy dictates in prosperous times! Killing a small number of unkind bastards is a good thing for the entire Ming Dynasty!

Wen Tiren nodded and replied: "I have recorded it, but I have another thing I want to report."

Emperor Chongzhen said curiously: "What's the matter?"

Wen Tiren said: "Before Weichen came to Tianjin, Hong Chengchou of the Ministry of Railways had communicated with Weichen and asked some questions simply. I think I will write a letter to His Majesty in the near future."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said vaguely: "Well, let's continue?"

Wen Tiren said: "Now, some calls have begun to appear among the people, and some people have petitioned local governments to ask if the railway can be opened for merchants?"

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned that he had been letting them use this thing long ago? Why are you trying to force me?

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen's expression was a little confused, Wen Tiren explained: "Your Majesty, although he had allowed merchants to use railways to transport supplies before, it was only open for the transfer of military supplies and a particularly large amount of supplies.

Also, before, only scholars, juren, Jinshi and soldiers from the garrison who had fame could take the train, but this train was used more in the military palace.

Now the people are calling for a person who is hoping to open up a hole and can they draw a part of it outside the military palace, so that merchants can use railways to transport supplies, and that scholars and soldiers can also ride on it?"

Emperor Chongzhen put down the teacup in his hand and knocked his fingers on the table.

There is actually no big problem to let go of a hole. The railway will sooner or later be opened to the public. I have been deceived by the Spring Festival travel rush in later generations. How can civil and military officials and people of the Ming Dynasty be punished for the crimes they have suffered in later generations?

But there is a very realistic problem in front of you. If this problem is not solved, the proposal of opening up railways is simply nonsense. The population mobility of the Ming Dynasty is basically close to zero than in later generations!

Under the yellow household registration system and road guide system, there are too many troubles to go on a long journey, and the people are willing to keep their own homes, especially those with land.

After all, if you go out for a long trip, you don’t know when you will be back, and there is even the risk of dying outside. Only fools are willing to go out for a long trip!

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen said, "It's not impossible to let go of a hole. I have already made this intention. It's just that the people don't have much demand. Just relying on merchants and scholars, I'm afraid that the large amount of transportation capacity of this railway will be wasted."

Wen Tiren tentatively said: "Why not open a few routes first? For example, the route from Nuergandus to Shanhaiguan, and the route from Duogansi and Wusi to Shaanxi?

After all, there are a large number of immigrants in these places. After opening the route, it is also convenient for these people to return to their hometowns to take a look?"

Emperor Chongzhen said, "For this reason, we will open the route from Nurkandus to Shanhaiguan for the time being, and then open a route from Shanhaiguan to Tianjin, and finally the route from Jinan Prefecture, so that the people who go out of the border can return to their hometown to visit their relatives.

In addition, another route from Nanjing to Beijing is opened to facilitate the exchanges between the people of the two capitals, and also facilitate the business and material transfer of merchants in the two places.

But how often do these lines open to trains, and how to price them, will it cause headaches for the cabinet and Hong Aiqing?"

...

After receiving the reply from Wen Tiren, Hong Chengchou summoned the leaders of the Ministry of Railways, he began to discuss in the lobby of the Ministry of Railways: "After all, how should we decide the price of taking a train?"

The officials of all sizes and small sitting in the lobby stared at each other, and finally lowered their heads in one go. What should everyone say? Who hasn't had any small business at home?!

The price is set high, and everyone is feeling uncomfortable. The money for this ticket cannot be counted as the cost? No matter how small the mosquito legs are, it is still a piece of meat!

But it was set to be low. Afterwards, it was found that everyone set the low price together, and then I took a look. Okay, everyone has a little business, where can I get the board?

The one who is still fucking him wasn't hitting the big guy!

Hong Chengchou looked at the silly maids and said with a smile: "It's all said, but I don't care about right or wrong. Anyway, we just discuss it first. Finally, we have to go through the Ministry of Revenue, the cabinet, and the Majesty's place."

Seeing that no one had signed the matter, the right assistant minister Lou Zhilan had to bite the bullet and said, "According to the advice of the officials, the ticket price should not be too high, but it must not be too low.

The order is too high, and the public will definitely have a loud voice, but the order is low. If it is not done well, it will require treasury subsidies. Is it really unreasonable for Guo Butang?"

Hong Chengchou said with a hunch, "With the view of Mr. Lou, how much money should be appropriate?"

Lou Zhilan was also stunned.

The things Lou Zhilan just said are all facts, but from beginning to end, Lou Zhilan didn't even mention much money to make it appropriate.

After thinking for a while, Lou Zhilan tentatively said: "Otherwise, the price is based on the distance? How much is the silver per mile?"

Hong Chengchou suddenly became interested: "This proposal is good, let's continue."

After Hong Chengchou praised this, Lou Zhilan also felt energetic: "The officials thought that they could ride horses from the capital to Shanhaiguan, calculate the expenses along the way, and then convert them to the railway. The price per mile was the same as the carriage or slightly higher, right?"

Hong Chengchou nodded and looked at the other officials: "Where are other people? Do you have any other ideas?"

Cui Yong'an, the left assistant minister, said: "The officials thought that the price of a train should not be the same as a carriage, but should be slightly lower than a carriage.

After all, how many people and supplies can a train load at a time? And how many people and supplies can a carriage load at a time?

When the price is low, more people will choose to take the train. In general, the expenditure is less than that of the carriage, but the income is much higher than that of the carriage."
