There are many ways to solve living problems.

Including turning living people into dead people.

Then the problem will be solved instantly.

But the problem of dead people is the most difficult to solve.

When the cabinet sent the planned route of the Western Railway, which was initially drawn up, to the local governments. First of all, there was the opposition of local officials. This was already under the consideration of the court, and there were already ways to deal with it and weigh it.

But I don’t know who actually leaked the planned route of the Western Railway in advance.

Then.

Starting from Henan Prefecture, unprecedented public opposition broke out in prefectures and counties along the Western Railway.

At this time, no one had time to think about who had leaked the route. The officials responsible for the construction of the western railway were already in a hurry by the people.

The opposition of the people was speechless.

Because according to the planned route of the Western Railway, there are various situations on it.

Mountains, rivers, cities, fields and villages.

Railway construction can be done by opening mountains when encountering mountains, building bridges when encountering rivers, and setting up stations across cities.

Fields and villages can also be compensated by the court and the people resettled.

But there are countless tombs on the route plan.

Once the Western Railway is built according to the planned route, it will inevitably be necessary to carry out a side-by-side grave relocation operation in the process of relocating people.

Relocation of graves.

This has always been an unacceptable thing for the people of the Central Plains.

When people suffer hardships or enjoy blessings during their lifetime, they look forward to changing their fortunes for future generations or continuing their family's fortunes after death.

The tomb has become a place of good luck.

If nothing goes wrong, who would be willing to move the graves of their ancestors?

It is precisely for this reason that countless storybooks from ancient times to the present have depicted country folk who are usually obedient, but once the tombs of their homes are disturbed by local bullies, they will inevitably get violent, hurt people, and even die.

This tomb protection movement caught the court by surprise and put Xie Jin under pressure.

Wherever he goes now, he feels that others look at him strangely.

In the duty room on the side of the cabinet room.

Xie Jin's face was full of sorrow, and even the officials who were coming in and out did not dare to make any big noise, for fear of making Xie Ge unhappy and scolding him more.

It was at this time that Bai Yuxiu walked in with a stack of documents.

"Everyone, it's lunch break time, why are you still busy?"

Bai Yuxiu glanced at the official guarding the duty room and said with a chuckle.

The officials immediately showed careful smiles, knowing that Bai Langzhong was rescuing them.

Everyone immediately responded and exited the room.

Bai Yuxiu looked around, then sat down opposite Xie Jin with the document in her arms.

"Why do you look sad, sir?" Bai Yuxiu asked knowingly.

Jie Jin glared at Bai Yuxiu angrily, and then threw the teapot in front of the student.

"Pour yourself some tea."

Bai Yuxiu chuckled, stood up and took the tea cup from the side, sat back down, poured tea for herself, and said, "Sir, are you worried about things in the northwest?"

Xie Jin slammed his hands on the table and said with a puzzled face: "Tell me, the people are opposed to the imperial court moving the tombs. After all, filial piety comes first, and we cannot waste care about the deceased's affairs. This is understandable.

But those families who had never been crossed by the railway were actually objecting, and bluntly said that the court was ruining the feng shui in front of and behind their homes.

What’s the word?”

Although Jie Jin kept complaining on his lips, he knew it in his heart.

He can resolve the opposition of local officials, but cannot forcefully resolve the opposition of local people.

If he pushes it forcefully, he will forcefully move the grave.

Then he will become the public enemy of the whole world in an instant.

A cabinet minister who is in charge of the central government is actually capable of destroying people's ancestral graves for the sake of his own political achievements.

Regardless of his true intention of building the Western Railway, it was for the country to develop the northwest, thereby recreating the Western Regions of the Han and Tang Dynasties and reopening the Silk Road.

People will only think that Xie Jin is a traitor, a traitor who can destroy people's tombs.

Bai Yuxiu frowned.

It is indeed troublesome to have such a problem before us.

After all, the theory of Feng Shui and luck has always been mysterious and mysterious.

Even the royal family believes in this, how can it prevent the people from believing in this?

What's more important is that this matter involves the dominance and legal rationality of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the so-called luck and feng shui can still be explained in terms of mystery and mystery.

But this matter also involves filial piety.

This is where Jie Jin’s real frustration lies.

It is not without reason that all dynasties have governed the country with filial piety.

Starting from this, the patriarchal ethics and ethics were extended, and the core arguments for educating all peoples were supported.

Once filial piety is broken.

This also shows that the Ming Dynasty no longer recognizes the patriarchal ethics practiced by the current court.

By then the world will be in chaos.

As long as Xie Jin ignores and forcibly moves the tomb, I am afraid that as soon as his decree comes out of Wenyuan Pavilion, others will be taken away by the Jin Yiwei.

No one can destroy the patriarchal ethics.

Because this is not only to maintain the authority of the emperor and ensure the status and legitimacy of the king, but also the core foundation for maintaining the order of billions of people in the entire world.

In the check-in room, Xie Jin let out a long sigh and felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body: "The idea of ​​the Western Railway has been planned for more than a year, and has been discussed several times in the DPRK and China. Now it has finally been approved.

Originally, I knew that even if the resolution was passed, it would be very difficult once construction started, but I never thought that I would still ignore this point and lead to such a big problem.

If the local officials have complaints, the imperial court can relocate the people, add more fields, and even hire people to enrich the people.

But I cannot touch the ancestral graves of the common people. Even Your Majesty will not touch them.

This is filial piety and human ethics.

Disaster……

This matter is extremely difficult..."

Bai Yuxiu turned her eyes and asked tentatively: "What if we re-plan the route and avoid those cemeteries? If we avoid the places where ancestors are buried, how can the people object?

If it is unreasonable, and the railway is too far away from the front house, such people can move it elsewhere.

As long as you don't destroy the people's tombs, the matter will be solved, why are you so worried here?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In Bai Yuxiu’s view, this problem is not too difficult to solve.

On the way here, he thought that what the people were objecting to now was not the construction of the railway, but the fact that the construction of the railway would destroy the feng shui of their ancestral graves.

The railway should just avoid these common people's ancestral graves.

Jie Jin shook his head helplessly.

He looked at Bai Yuxiu and explained: "Why haven't I thought of your method? But the Ministry of Industry also said that it is okay to avoid one or two places on the railway, but you cannot always avoid it everywhere.

If this is the case everywhere, the cost of building this railway will increase countless times, which no one can estimate.

What's more important is that if the railway avoids the tombs of the people, the route will have to be changed, but in some places there are very few places where the route can be modified.

Once all modifications are made, this railway may not be able to support trains passing on it, and it will have to be a track laid on the ground."

Bai Yuxiu frowned.

He didn't quite understand what the Ministry of Industry meant by what he said.

Xie Jin looked at the student again and knew that the other person did not understand the reason.

He didn't say anything, he just took a few documents from the desk, lined them up in two rows, and laid out a winding passage on the table.

Then Jie Jin searched on the table for a while, and finally found an ink strip of similar size and placed it in the passage between the two rows of documents.

Xie Jin pressed his fingers on the ink strip and started pushing from one end.

At first, the ink strip could move normally in the middle, but when intensive bends appeared in front of it, it became completely unable to move.

"Do you understand?"
