Chapter 757 You're treating this old man like a donkey, aren't you?
When it comes to Liaodong, Yang Shaofeng has so much to say.
Coal mines, iron mines, gold mines, black soil, water resources, timber resources, sea outlets, marine resources, and even oil, while various wildlife resources have become the least noticeable.
Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the wildlife resources in Northeast China.
Look at Lao Deng and Xiao Deng, how did these two grow up? They look like mascots from Northeast China.
Especially Old Deng, when he's furious he can transform into a complete idiot, which looks pretty intimidating.
Yang Shaofeng suppressed the urge to laugh and bowed to Lao Deng, saying, "Your Majesty, I believe that the Liaodong region..."
Before Yang Shaofeng could finish speaking, Emperor Zhu interrupted him directly: "Well, son-in-law, this isn't a court audience, so don't address me as Your Majesty or refer to yourself as your subject. Just act like you normally would, otherwise it'll feel awkward."
After all, this bastard still had some sense of propriety when he cheated his father-in-law. At most, we'd just sulk and lose a few pounds of small dragon balls.
When he was plotting against the emperor, he was ruthless. Besides being angry, we had to be like donkeys, being directed by him to go around in circles pulling the millstone.
So, instead of making this scoundrel call himself a subject, it would be better to make him call himself a son-in-law. At least then we won't have to worry about being tricked too badly.
Yang Shaofeng didn't care about these issues of address.
In any case, when it's time to mess with Harden, you absolutely can't be soft-hearted, and you can't give Harden a chance to catch his breath.
Yang Shaofeng bowed directly to Emperor Zhu and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the biggest problem in Liaodong right now is the inconvenient transportation and the sparse population."
"I have already mentioned the matter of relocating people to Liaodong."
"The matter of setting up reclamation farms in Liaodong has already been discussed."
"The most important thing right now is the steam engine."
"As long as we can build a steam-powered train, we can build a railway from the capital to Liaodong."
"After the railway is completed, resources such as timber, coal, and steel from Liaodong can be transported to the interior of the pass in a continuous stream, while grain, cloth, tea, and other supplies from the interior of the pass can be transported to the exterior of the pass in a continuous stream."
"In addition to railways, ordinary roads must also be taken seriously, since not all goods need to be transported by rail, and people cannot rely entirely on railways for travel."
“Roads between provincial administration offices, secondary roads between prefectures, roads between counties, and roads between towns and villages must also be taken seriously.”
Emperor Zhu immediately perked up.
Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen also stared intently at Yang Shaofeng.
Ultimately, the solution to the Liaodong problem lies in steam engines and railways.
So, this Northeast mascot has put itself inside again, huh?
Just as Emperor Zhu, Li Shanchang, and Liu Bowen were secretly criticizing Yang Shaofeng for his lack of wisdom, Yang Shaofeng said with a smile, "My suggestion is very simple: send all those involved in the child case and the ironware case to repair roads."
"As the Korean official said, it is better to give way to wait for the car than to make the car wait for the road."
"The only problem is that the land in Liaodong is quite fertile, and there is no shortage of resources such as coal and steel."
"Therefore, the division between the various provincial administration offices, prefectures, and counties must be carefully considered."
As Yang Shaofeng finished speaking, Emperor Zhu and Li Shanchang's faces immediately darkened.
Damn it, that was too hasty.
On the surface, Yang Dianfeng seemed to be considering Liaodong's interests in every way, but his last sentence revealed his true intentions.
Come on, let's get the cabinet, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Agriculture and all other departments moving! You all need to carefully consider the division of the prefectures and counties and the construction of roads.
Otherwise, if Old Hu had some ideas and decided to do it behind closed doors, that would be quite a spectacle.
Therefore, Liaodong should not be divided into just one provincial administration commission; it should be divided into several.
The more Emperor Zhu thought about it, the more troubled he became.
This bastard said a couple of years ago that Liaodong should have at least three provincial administration commissions. Now, it can't be said that his words have come true, but it can only be said that things are going according to his plan.
Li Shanchang was even more troubled.
The division of the Provincial Administration Commission was relatively easy to understand, but the division of the prefectures, sub-prefectures, and counties below was truly disgusting.
There cannot be any too strong, nor can there be any that are easy to defend and difficult to attack; the various prefectures, states, and counties must present a situation of interlocking and overlapping.
These are problems that will give the Central Secretariat a major headache.
Further down the list are a large number of officials for prefectures, states, counties, and even small township governments.
These are problems that will give the Ministry of Personnel a headache.
The roads connecting the various provincial governors, prefectures, states, counties, and even townships and villages became another headache for the Ministry of Works.
Other issues included the school problem that the Ministry of Rites was troubled by, and the problems that the Ministry of War and the Grand Military Commission were troubled by, such as where to set up garrisons, how to organize garrisons, and related matters concerning troop rotation.
In other words, Yang Dianfeng's one nonsensical statement caused headaches for the Secretariat and many other ministries, supervisory offices, and temples, and these offices had to work overtime to come up with solutions for him.
Thinking of this, Li Shanchang glanced at Emperor Zhu again, his eyes filled with resentment.
Are you even capable of taking over?
If you can't manage, eat a few more pounds of goji berries, and then ask Miss Yang to come up with a solution. We can't just let Yang the Madman bully people like this!
Emperor Zhu pretended not to see Li Shanchang's gaze, coughed, and said, "My son-in-law is right. These are indeed issues that need to be considered. The cabinet will discuss them with the various ministries, temples, academies, and institutes to see how to resolve them."
Li Shanchang's gaze immediately became even more resentful.
So, now that you're in power, you're treating me like a donkey, aren't you?
Liu Bowen subtly shifted his position, trying to distance himself from Li Shanchang.
It has to be our old Liu! At least the reform of the Censorate has been decided. All we need to do is set up Censorate offices in various government offices in Liaodong step by step.
Well, the battle of wits between the father-in-law and son-in-law, and the battle of wits between the Duke of Han and the Duke of Ying, are things that Old Liu, with his weak arms and legs, will not get involved in.
After all, our old Liu is just a mere Marquis of Sincerity.
I doubt that the Duke of Ying would care too much about Old Liu.
Emperor Zhu glanced at Liu Bowen, then looked at Yang Shaofeng with a smile and said: Son-in-law, please continue.
Yang Shaofeng didn't pay much attention to Liu Bowen.
After all, the main targets at this moment were the officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Rites, including Lao Deng and Li Shanchang.
"If we want to develop Liaodong, and even Xianglin County and other former Han and Tang territories in the future, the most important thing is to first develop the steam engine."
"And the first step in developing the steam engine was standardization."
Yang Shaofeng began to complain wildly: "Those craftsmen are indeed very skilled. Any one of them can make a simple steam engine by hand. But even if the appearance of the steam engine made by Zhang San is the same as that made by Li Si, the parts are very difficult to interchange."
"This problem must be corrected."
"Just like with the harvesters before, a skilled craftsman can make one by hand as a model, and when mass-producing, we must standardize the process."
"Especially since steam engines involve all sorts of complicated parts, they are much more complex than harvesters."
"In addition, we need to train more people who know how to manufacture and repair steam engines."
"It is clear that the current community schools are responsible for literacy and enlightenment."
"County schools, prefectural schools, and universities are responsible for cultivating talents."
"What's missing is the training of ordinary workers and craftsmen."
"..."
Yang Shaofeng rambled on about his ideas, while Emperor Zhu and Li Shanchang fell into deep silence.
