Chapter 677: All Quiet in the Southwest(2/2)
When the news came back to the capital, the prince was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
Finally, it was discovered that there was a fool in the Ministry of Industry who actually spread the news that the imperial court would increase investment along the western railway line, mobilize local people to produce, and sell local output to other places through railways and river transportation, thereby increasing local income.
The imperial court has had an unwritten rule in the past two years.
That is, wherever the economy is doing well, the people are better fed and clothed more warmly, and the fiscal revenue can increase at the same time, then it will inevitably be selected by the officials, given a favorable rating, and promoted.
The imperial court must take economic development as the core condition for evaluation.
When officials along the western railway line heard that the railway line would receive investment from the court and improve the local economic level, they did not immediately start fighting.
The angry prince naturally could not tolerate it.
That idiot from the Ministry of Works was transferred to a certain industrial group under the name of the Ministry of Works.
I heard that he was going to work in the iron mines in Qiongzhou Prefecture as an errand.
Officials along the Western Railway also received the most severe warning from the court.
Anyone who dares to lead the people to fight again should go home and farm by himself.
In this way, the official disputes in the west were somewhat calmed down.
But privately, those people feel that martial arts are not good enough, so they will write letters.
As a result, all kinds of things to slander each other and smoothen relations between the DPRK and China emerged in endlessly.
Although it was all for promotion, it was also for the development of the local economy. Zhu Biao had no choice but to stop them from causing trouble at this time.
After all, the Ministry of Industry also discovered many problems in the early planning during subsequent surveys.
At least the western railway route has not been completely determined.
Things are complicated and confusing.
It can only be implemented step by step.
In addition to this matter, the Governor's Mansion has also presented a huge and grand development plan for the Western Region to Zhu Biao.
The plan of the Metropolitan Governor's Office covered a territory of the Western Regions that far exceeded the rule of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
To the west, we must be able to directly contact the Central Asian countries, and to the south, we must meet the Southern Expedition Army led by Chang Sheng on the Ganges Plain.
This plan has far exceeded the Ming Dynasty's original plan to reopen the Western Regions.
Everyone in the governor's office is now fully hoping that the imperial court will issue an order so that they can lead the Ming Dynasty's elite troops in the westward expedition.
For this reason, a sand table exercise on how to march into the Western Regions spread from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and then to the Lecture Hall.
The focus of the debate also changed from how to take back the Western Regions to how to establish a new territory to the west of the Ming Dynasty that was not part of the existing territory of the Ming Dynasty.
When Zhu Biao saw the end of the plan, which stated that the Governor-General hoped that the imperial court would dispatch an army of 300,000, he was immediately dazzled.
This is not the Northern Expedition. The Great Wall can be used as a starting point to dispatch food and supplies.
Three hundred thousand Ming troops rushed thousands of miles away, leaving Yangguan in the west and engaging in successive wars.
The imperial court had to pay a huge price to ensure the food, grass and weapons needed for the 300,000-strong army.
crazy.
The entire Metropolitan Government went crazy.
This is Zhu Biao’s final conclusion on the plan.
However, Zhu Biao had to think about balancing the opinions of the Governor's Office.
Just when Zhu Biao was having a headache over these things, news came quickly from Dayong County.
The old man fell ill and could not return to the capital for a while, so he asked the imperial hospital to dispatch an imperial doctor to Dayong.
Zhu Biao couldn't sit still at all.
Lying on the soft chair, Zhu Biao finally couldn't bear to throw it away. He shouted angrily and smashed the ring ring in his hand that he had worn for a long time on the ground.
The wrench finger shattered with a sound.
"No one can worry!"
Gao Yangzhi stood up quickly and brought a cup of tea to the prince: "Your majesty has his own good fortune, and with God's blessing, he will be fine. If your majesty is really seriously ill, Dayong, whether it is the grandson
Even His Royal Highness the King of Chu will definitely escort His Majesty back to Beijing as soon as possible."
He is a cabinet minister, although the cabinet works in Wenyuan Pavilion.
But in the Wenhua Hall, because the prince handles government affairs here every day, the cabinet rotates one person here to take care of it every day to facilitate the transmission of information between the two parties, which can be regarded as fulfilling the cabinet's responsibility of assisting in government affairs.
Zhu Biao took the tea, but frowned: "You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. The Ming Dynasty seems to be doing well at the moment, but if you are not careful, you will lose everything."
He didn't specify what happened.
But no matter in the imperial court, it is not a big deal.
Gao Yangzhi smiled silently and whispered: "Actually, as the country becomes stronger, things seem to be more and more troublesome than before. But in the end, they are still those things.
Your Highness has long been a crown prince and has been in the middle palace, supervising state affairs for many years. When it comes to discussing state affairs in the court, no one can be more knowledgeable than Your Highness. I just haven't figured it out for a while, so it's better to rest for two days for quiet reflection."
Zhu Biao put down his teacup and looked steadily at Gao Yangzhi, who was smiling.
A smile slowly appeared on his face, then he raised his hand and started laughing.
"Good on you, Gao Chunfeng!"
"He actually talked about being alone in a roundabout way!"
Gao Yangzhi also laughed out loud.
Just don't speak.
And soon.
The prince's edicts began to be sent one by one to the cabinet, forwarded to the court, and announced to the world.
The imperial court will fully support all the innovative initiatives of Zhili Governor Zou Xueyu, and those who resist will not violate national laws.
The western railway construction plan is completely negotiated by Cabinet Minister Xie Jin and the Ministry of Industry, and no one is allowed to interfere.
The Metropolitan Government also received an answer.
The prince said that whoever has the guts to lead 300,000 people to complete all the tasks in the plan given by the governor's office will be appointed as the general of the Western Expedition.
All of a sudden, the prince's worries were swept away.
Shan Yongnian, the envoy of the old Taiyuan Hospital who had not left the hospital for a long time, led a group of young disciples out of Yingtian and headed for Dayong County, Huguang Road.
