Zhang Ruitu bowed and said, "I will report to Your Majesty, the governor of Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou, can take this position."

Is Hong Chengchou really suitable?

This guy is cruel enough to say that he is cruel enough. He is not ruthless when he kills the rebels surrendered in Shaanxi, and is also a bit thick-skinned. He never refuses anything he has to tell him to do.

Now two departments need to be established separately, especially the Ministry of Railways, where too many interests are involved and too many people will be offended.

If Hong Chengchou doesn’t let this blame be taken, who will take it?

After all, this guy has been surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen did not think that Hong Chengchou now had the courage and opportunity to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Even if this guy goes to the battlefield one day and is captured, he may not have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty as he did in history.

It was really a bit miserable that Zhang Wanchun, the former, who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne.

Jiannu is still in a state of decline, and he is getting worse every day. Even if he dies, he is much better than surrender.

Nodding, Emperor Chongzhen continued to ask, "Is there any?"

Seeing that no one else recommended anyone else, Emperor Chongzhen simply decided to say, "Since that's the case, then I will order Hong Chengchou to go to Beijing and be appointed as the Minister of Railways, the Grand Secretary of Jianji Hall, and the Young Tutor of the Prince, and the various affairs of the Ministry of Railways. Gu Bingqian was appointed as the Minister of Transportation, the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Hall, and the Young Guard of the Prince, and the various affairs of the Ministry of Transportation."

When receiving the order of Emperor Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou was already filled with tears in his eyes. Did you finally remember Hong Chengchou from Yan'an Prefecture?

I didn't say that as long as the new prefect sent by the Ministry of Personnel to replace him arrived, I would pack up my things and get out of here immediately. I didn't even need time for the unspoken rules and handle it in advance.

According to official rules, after the new official takes office, he or she should leave a few days for the former official to clean up some things that are not suitable for existence.

For example, for example, evidence of corruption, the ones that should be processed should be processed so that the ones who have left are not allowed to hold on to the handle.

Especially when the former officials were promoted.

Just like Hong Chengchou's current situation, it is obvious that he is going to go to Beijing to take charge of the Ministry of Administration, and later officials have to leave time for others.

Otherwise, what do you want to do? Do you hold Shangguan’s handle?

But Ni Wenhuan really didn't expect that his behavior of slowly heading towards Yan'an Prefecture would make Hong Chengchou anxious.

Not only was I unhappy, I also sent someone to block myself halfway.

Looking at the butler sent by Hong Chengchou in front of him, Ni Wenhuan couldn't believe his ears: "Say it again, what did your master say?"

Hong Youfu bowed and said, "If you say something, my master said, please hurry to Yan'an Mansion quickly, don't worry about anything else. My master will rush to the capital within these days."

Ni Wenhuan simply made the words clear: "Have you dealt with them?"

Hong Youfu said: "It's all over. I'm waiting for you to come over and make a handover."

Ni Wenhuan nodded and ordered to his butler: "Let's hurry to Yan'an Prefecture and hand over the matter of Yan'an Prefecture as soon as possible."

After rushing to Yan'an Prefecture, Ni Wenhuan realized how anxious Hong Chengchou was to enter Beijing.

Ni Wenhuan is from Yangzhou, Jiangsu, and Hong Chengchou is from Quanzhou, Fujian. If we talk about it from the perspective of the village party, the two of them will never be able to go together.

But after all, they are both eunuchs and have had some friendships. Ni Wenhuan admires Hong Chengchou for his work in Shaanxi, so he asked Qianyan Shen: "Why are Brother Yan so anxious?"

Hong Chengchou said with a sneer: "Your Majesty is urging you to do something new to the Ministry of Railways. Now Brother Yu is also looking at you. Wouldn't you rush to go to Beijing to find out the situation?"

When Ni Wenhuan heard Hong Chengchou's words, he immediately knew that he had asked too much, so he could only smile and said, "Brother Yan Yan, don't be anxious, are you doing something about railways? I know a little."

Upon hearing this, Hong Chengchou stood up and bowed, saying, "I hope my brother will teach me!"

Ni Wenhuan hurriedly stood up and supported Hong Chengchou, saying repeatedly: "What is Brother Yan Yan doing? If you know about it, you must inform me all."

The two of them fell down again, and Ni Wenhuan thoughtfully said: "In my opinion, my brother's visit to Beijing this time is both an opportunity and a crisis.

Although it is said that the misfortune of blessings is hidden and the blessings are based on, the brother is now more misfortune than blessings.”

Hong Chengchou said: "Please make it clear by my brother."

Ni Wenhuan said: "If my brother came to Beijing to preside over the affairs of the Ministry of Transport, I would definitely not say this because the Ministry of Transportation just stripped the civilian part of the post station from the back. They were all things that were already there and would not offend too many people.

But when my brother was in charge of the Ministry of Railways during this trip, he would offend too many people."

Hong Chengchou said: "As the name suggests, railways must be related to iron. Could it be that there is a lot of iron to be used? Should we requisition it from the public?"

Ni Wenhuan laughed and said, "No, no. The iron among the people is not enough. Moreover, although the iron used is a little more, it will not be too much, let alone the iron that is requisitioned.

All the necessary requirements are provided by the Ministry of Works and are not done by the people."

Hong Chengchou nodded and asked curiously: "Since that's the case, how can you say that you will offend too many people? Since it is not avenging the iron of the people, it will definitely not arouse public anger. As for others, I don't dare to disobey Your Majesty's wishes?"

Ni Wenhuan said: "If the people's iron is not requisitioned, the people's land must be requisitioned. Once the railway starts to be built, it will need to be rebuilt another road, which is not together with the existing roads, and it must be even farther away.

Of course, it’s easy to say about the people’s land, so naturally the Ministry of Revenue will worry about it, but what about this noble official?”

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he laughed: "If the virtuous brother said that there are so many places to recruit people, it is easy to arouse public anger, then the foolish brother is still a little worried.

If it is said to be those nobles, it would be fine.”

Of course, Hong Chengchou has this confidence.

If it arouses public anger, then the person who might have his head taken by Emperor Chongzhen to calm the public resentment, the guys who were chopped up in Shaanxi before were proof of this.

But when it comes to noble officials, it is not that they dare to disobey Emperor Chongzhen's intentions, but they have been buried in a pit by Emperor Chongzhen long ago.

Now that I am ordered to preside over the affairs of the Ministry of Railways, although I am the one who offended others, based on Emperor Chongzhen's previous performance, I will definitely not let myself take the blame.

Since you don’t have to blame yourself, then offend someone if you offend them. Anyway, these people will only hold a grudge against His Majesty the Emperor, not a mere second-rank minister like himself.

Seeing that Hong Chengchou didn't take it seriously, Ni Wenhuan said seriously: "Do you think you are just a few officials?"

Hong Chengchou said curiously: "What do you say?"

Ni Wenhuan said: "The road from the capital to Tongzhou alone has been built for more than two months before it can be opened to traffic. However, the section from the capital to Shanhaiguan has not even completed the measurements given by His Majesty, let alone the section from the capital to Nanzhili.

Of course, this part is the affairs of the Ministry of Works, and the elder brother can not take it seriously. But at present, the palace and the cabinet have to keep an eye on these matters. When the elder brother presides over the Ministry of Railways, it is the elder brother who comes to watch. At that time...

What's more, where will the railway be repaired in the future? Where will it not be repaired? Where can there be stations? Where can there be no one?

What if it is involved in the fief of a vassal king?

How should we use it in military use? What should we use it in civilian use? What should we use it in the civilian use? What should we use it in scholars? What should we use it in the government?

In short, in my opinion, the Ministry of Railways is always very troublesome. I really have to be careful when I visit this time.”

Upon hearing this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Since my virtuous brother has said this, then I won't hide it from you."

After saying that, he sighed again, and then Hong Chengchou continued: "Now Brother Yu is in this Yan'an Mansion, it is actually hard to move forward.

Although the officials below were not negligent, the governor of the three sides, Mr. Yang Heyang, had some opinions about Brother Yu, so Brother Yu is not easy to mess with in Yan'an Prefecture."

Ni Wenhuanqi said: "Mr. Yang? Why do you have any opinions about your brother?"

After a wry smile, Hong Chengchou said, "Isn't it because Brother Yu is so irresistible to Lord Yang in terms of rebel affairs and kill too much?"

Ni Wenhuan said angrily: "Governor Yang is so confused! If it weren't for the brother who used thunder methods here, I really don't know how many people would rebel or become king!"

Then he comforted him again: "Brother, don't worry, I will write a letter to impeach Governor Yang!"

After pressing the furious Ni Wenhuan, Hong Chengchou said: "Brother Yu believes that he is right, but Governor Yang may not be wrong.

The matter of suppressing rebellion is to pay equal attention to suppression and appeasement. Silently suppressing will lose the people's righteousness and obsession, but indulge the rebels. Therefore, there is a saying that equal attention is given. Otherwise, it would be possible to suppress or appease directly. Why do you have to say that suppression and appeasement?

Now my brother is the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, and he is no longer the censor of the capital. What's more, it is a taboo in the officialdom that I have surpassed my ranks and impeached my Shangguan. I must be careful."

When Ni Wenhuan heard this, she stood up and thanked her, "Thank you brother for your advice."

Since Hong Chengchou was in a hurry to enter Beijing, all the matters that Yan'an Prefecture should hand over were ready. After introducing Ni Wenhuan to other officials of all sizes one by one, Hong Chengchou said resignation to Ni Wenhuan and went to Beijing.

When he arrived near the capital, Hong Chengchou suddenly ordered: "Go to Yongding Gate, let's go and see what railway is."

The butler Hong Youfu responded, and then ordered people to go towards Yongding Gate.

It was not until he saw the empty platform of Yongding Gate, and there were four long tracks that extended out and could not see the end of the distance, that Hong Chengchou had a deep understanding of what this track was.

Although there were some descriptions in the previous Di Daily News and Daming Half Monthly Newspaper, they were not clear and did not seem intuitive as they seemed in front of them.

It was also at this time that Hong Chengchou understood what Ni Wenhuan said about offending people.

This thing is actually similar to a straight road, no matter whether it is a straight road or a railway, as long as you get it up, don’t care about the fields, and you won’t think about planting crops within ten steps nearby.

Especially since the southern land is mostly paddy fields, it is even more impossible to plant it again. It must be isolated for a distance.

In this way, it is inevitable to invade the land.

What's even more fucking is that this thing is made of iron after all, and it is not as easy to change the path like an ordinary straight path.

If you want to change this thing, it will probably be very troublesome.

During this period, how many people would be occupied by the Zhuangzi? How many people would be involved in the matter? How many vassal kings?

Moreover, it is 100% certain that you will pass by some people's graves.

Can my little arms and legs resist?

Thinking of this, when Hong Chengchou first received the imperial edict from Emperor Chongzhen, his joy had already flown outside the clouds of nine nights.

Your Majesty, can't you change your personal cheating?

I have already cheated Weichen in Shaanxi, and now I have made such a big pit for Weichen to jump, regardless of whether Weichen's small body can fill in the pit?

Hong Chengchou was in deep thought, but he heard the sound of "dirty" in the distance, slowly approaching from afar. With the increasingly clearer grunts, a dark and steel-made Giant Chuang slowly walked over.
