Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Wen Tiren pondered and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. It's just a matter of law revision, which has always been of great importance, and I dare not say yes or no lightly. Why don't you call together the officials in Beijing to discuss it after returning to Beijing?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "It's okay, I didn't dare to hope that this law can be fixed in a short time.

There is only one thing, Wen Aiqing must remember - no matter who dares to take drugs, he will not be pardoned; no matter who dares to sell drugs, I will be sent to exile by Ling Chi, the three tribes of Yi, and the rest of the nine races!

This article is written into the Basic Law, making it an iron law, and my descendants will never change it! "

As the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, Wen Tiren had naturally seen the harm of drugs. Although he was quite critical of the Emperor Chongzhen's wanting the barbarians at every turn, Wen Tiren knew in his heart that if he didn't hit hard, it would be wrong at all. There is no way to stop this thing.

Human nature is greedy!

When the vain money is in front of your eyes, some people may be able to bear 200 taels, and you have to consider the risk of drug sales, but what about 10 taels? What about 1000 million taels?

Who can stand it?

Even the original ironware and food were sold to Jiannu for silver, not to mention things like drugs!

Even if a sage came in person, he would be jealous of the amount of money, who dares to block everyone's way of getting money, just tear him up!

Not to mention, just now those Qiu Ba in Daming are all sharpening their knives, hoping that some troubles will happen so that they can gain military merits, how can others be exempt?

It's fine to sell this thing overseas, Wen Tiren thinks that he is not a gentleman, what he has to do is to do his best to the king - the emperor likes to sell this thing to foreigners, so let's sell it!

But once this thing is sold to Daming in large quantities, what will happen to the world of Daming is scary even thinking about it!

It is precisely because of this that Wen Tiren did not raise any objection to Emperor Chongzhen's proposal to use severe punishments to control drug products.

Not only are heavy codes used in troubled times, but heavy codes should be used 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 made a note, but I have another matter to report."

Emperor Chongzhen asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Wen Tiren said: "Before Weichen came to Tianjin, Hong Chengchou from the Ministry of Railways had some exchanges with Weichen and asked some simple questions. I think he will write a letter to His Majesty soon."

Emperor Chongzhen took a sip from his teacup, and said vaguely, "Well, let's go on?"

Wen Tiren said: "Now the people are gradually starting to have some voices, and some people have petitioned the local government, asking if the railway can be opened for merchants to use?"

Emperor Chongzhen was taken aback for a moment - didn't this thing have been used by them a long time ago?What are you forcing?

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's confused expression, Wen Tiren explained: "Your Majesty, although you have allowed merchants to use railways to transport supplies, after all, it was only for the transfer of supplies involving the military government, and there are particularly large quantities of supplies. It will only open when it is transferred.

What's more, before, it was only allowed to take the train for famous scholars, Juren, Jinshi and soldiers in the guard, but this train was still used more in the military mansion.

Now the voice of the people is looking forward to opening up a hole, whether a part can be set aside for use outside the military mansion, so that merchants can also use the railway to transfer supplies at ordinary times, so that scholars and soldiers can also take ? "

Emperor Chongzhen put down the teacup in his hand, and tapped on the table with his fingers.

Let go of a hole, in fact, there is no big problem. The railway will be opened to the public sooner or later. I have been cheated by the Spring Festival transportation of later generations. If I don’t cheat the civil and military officials and people of Ming Dynasty, how can I be right? Those sins suffered in later life?

But there is a very real problem in front of us. If this problem is not solved, the proposal to open the railway is simply nonsense-the population mobility of Ming Dynasty is basically close to zero compared with later generations!

Under the household registration yellow book system and the guide system, it is too much trouble to travel far away, and the people are willing to leave their homes, especially those who have land.

After all, if you go out for a long trip, you don't know when you will be able to come back, and there is even the risk of dying outside, so a fool is willing to go far away!

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen finally said: "It's not impossible to let go of a hole. I have already intended this, but the people's demand is not great. Only relying on merchants and scholars, I am afraid that the large capacity of this railway will It's wasted."

Wen Tiren tentatively said: "Why don't you open up a few routes first? For example, the route from Nurgandusi to Shanhaiguan, and the route from Duo Gansi and Wu Sizang to Shaanxi?

After all, there are a large number of immigrants in these places. After the line is opened, it will be convenient for these people to go back to their hometown to take a look? "

Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said, "Well, let's temporarily open the route from Nurgan Dusi to Shanhaiguan, then open a route from Shanhaiguan via Tianjin, and finally Jinan Prefecture, so that people who leave the fortress can go back to their hometowns to visit their relatives.

In addition, another line from Nanjing to the capital will be opened to facilitate the communication between the people of the two capitals, as well as the business and material transfer of merchants from the two places.

It's just how often these lines are connected by train, and how to set the price, so the cabinet and Hong Aiqing have to worry about it? "

……

Hong Chengchou, who received Wen Tiren's reply, summoned the leaders of the Ministry of Railways, and then began to discuss in the lobby of the Ministry of Railways: "Let's talk about it, how should the price of this train ride be set?"

The big and small officials sitting in the lobby stared wide-eyed, and finally lowered their heads together——damn, what should the big guys say?Who doesn't have a little business at home? !

The price is set too high, and everyone feels uncomfortable. The money for this ticket should not be included in the cost?No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still a piece of meat!

But the low price was set. Afterwards, it was found out that the low price was set by everyone, and then I looked at it again. Well, everyone has a little business, so where will the board go?

What the hell didn't he hit the big guy!

Hong Chengchou looked at the horse boys who were pretending to be stupid, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it, and I don't care about right or wrong. Anyway, we just discuss it first. In the end, we still have to go through the Ministry of Finance, the cabinet, and your majesty." .”

The servant on the right, Lou Zhilan, saw that no one had signed, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "In my opinion, this ticket price should not be set too high, but it must not be set too low either.

If the setting is too high, there will definitely be loud opposition from the people, but if the setting is too low, it may require subsidies from the treasury. Guo Butang really can't justify it? "

Hong Chengchou hummed and said, "Then according to Lou Shilang, how much money should be appropriate?"

Lou Zhilan was also dumb all of a sudden.

What Lou Zhilan said just now is the truth, but from the beginning to the end, Lou Zhilan didn't propose how much money is appropriate.

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

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

After being praised by Hong Chengchou, Lou Zhilan also came to his spirits: "The lower officials think that people can ride horses from the capital to Shanhaiguan, calculate the cost of the journey, and then convert it to the railway. The price per mile is the same as that of a horse-drawn carriage or A little higher, is that all right?"

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

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

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

When the price is low, more people will choose to take the train. Generally speaking, the expenditure is lower than that of the horse-drawn carriage, but the income is much higher than that of the horse-drawn carriage. "

PS: Today is the sacrifice of "Breaking Ming Dynasty with AK".

In addition, I have a cold and a low-grade fever.Forced to code a chapter.

Chapter 697 The main business and the side business need to be distinguished

As soon as Cui Yongan's voice fell, it seemed that a switch above the lobby of the Ministry of Railways was turned on. Everyone was divided into two factions and started a daily quarrel mode.

There is only one topic of quarrel, whether the price of the carriage is right or wrong.

Fools only talk about the benefits of being cheaper than a carriage for the big guys, but the play that should be performed must continue, and the quarrel that should be quarreled must still be quarreled.
