"Wechen see Your Majesty."

And when they entered the main hall, they saluted in turn.

Li Longji glanced at it casually and said, "The two Aiqing and the officials of the Railway Bureau came together, it seems that it is for the affairs of the Railway Bureau, but I want to hear Li Aiqing's thoughts." ”

Li An hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the railway bureau is very important to Datang, there is no room for any accidents, this time because of the Luoyang branch of Wang Gui and Wang Hu brothers fled, caused a lot of losses to the railway transportation, there are many businessmen lost a lot of bankruptcy, it is said that there is a truckload of live marine fish transported from Yazhou, because of the delay time, and the electricity on the car was used up, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to the water tank, all the sea fish died, can only be sold as the price of dead fish, the price difference caused the income of the merchant to be reduced by two-thirds, heavy losses!" Therefore, the stable operation of the railway is extremely important, no matter what happens, we must give priority to ensuring the smooth flow of railway transportation, railway transportation is the lifeblood of my Datang business, but also the guarantee of Datang's prosperity, and it is necessary for Datang to be rich and strong, and chaos is absolutely not allowed. ”

"I know all this, pick up the point."

Li Longji asked with a smile, it's not that he is impatient, it's that what Li An said is all nonsense, and he really feels unnecessary when he listens to it.

"Your Majesty, the corruption of the railway bureau must be strictly investigated, but the appeasement work must be carried out simultaneously, can not let ordinary officials and employees be affected, because of the huge profits, the railway bureau will have a lot of year-end bonuses and New Year's gift packages every year, but this year because of the Luoyang Railway Branch accident, so, it is almost the end of the year, the year-end bonus has not yet begun to calculate, and the New Year's goods have not been bought, which makes many ordinary employees complain in their hearts, if they can't change this status quo as soon as possible, for example, it will greatly affect the enthusiasm of the employees of the railway bureau, which in turn will affect the normal operation of the railway, affect the income of merchants, and finally hinder the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li An said.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, but it is actually very reasonable, at this time in the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the Grand Canal these small number of water transportation means are not bad, the railway can be handled, the construction progress of the highway is slow, and the cost of transportation is much higher than the railway, as long as the businessman is not a fool, will choose to transport the goods by rail, unless it is a short-distance small batch of goods, will choose to use large trucks to transport goods, and once there is a problem with the railway, the income of the merchant is less, and the tax of the imperial court will be less, Datang's national fortunes will naturally be greatly affected.

When Li Longji heard this, he looked at Yang Guozhong and said: "Yang Aiqing, what's going on, didn't I say it a long time ago, the investigation of the case cannot affect the normal operation of the railway, and naturally the welfare of ordinary railway bureau employees cannot be affected?" Why is it almost the New Year, and they haven't prepared the New Year's goods yet? ”

"Your Majesty, Wechen also just learned about this matter, and has sent someone to deal with it, the year-end bonus and New Year's gift package in previous years are all responsible for the fish, Wechen has been investigating the case in the Railway Bureau for so many days, and no one has ever told Wechen about it, otherwise, Wechen will definitely handle the matter properly."

Yang Guozhong hurriedly replied.

"I see! Up and down the railway bureau, how is the morale? ”

Li Longji looked at several officials of the Railway Bureau and asked.

"Your Majesty, since the accident in Luoyang, the situation of the railway bureau is very bad, especially after hearing that there is no year-end bonus and New Year's gift, all people are unhappy, and there are even many negative sabotage, but as long as the news of the year-end bonus and New Year's gift is spread, the enthusiasm of the employees will come back, and Your Majesty does not need to worry."

A small official said boldly.

"That's good, by the way, I heard that the merchant's loss is very large, how much is the loss, and what is the merchant's mood?"

Li Longji asked with concern.

Yang Guozhong hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, it's just that a very small number of businessmen have suffered huge losses, most of the businessmen have not been affected too much, and now that someone is responsible for the railway operation in Luoyang, there will be no more railway chaos, and the interests of businessmen are naturally guaranteed." ”

"The railway bureau can't be left without an owner for a long time, how many Aiqing can have a suitable candidate?"

Li Longji asked.

"Yu Chaoen of the Railway Bureau has thought about it behind closed doors at home, several people under his hands, except for those who were arrested and put in prison, the rest have been sent to Luoyang, and there are no too suitable candidates, these days are all the small officials below who cooperate with Weichen to be in charge of management."

Yang Guozhong replied.

"This will definitely not work, I have more important things for you to be responsible for, how can I let you get caught up in the affairs of the Railway Bureau for a long time, the Railway Bureau still has to choose a good person as soon as possible, and you can't always delay."

Li Longji opened his mouth and said.

When Yang Guozhong heard this, he was naturally quite happy in his heart, the emperor said that there would be more important things for him to do, wouldn't this mean that he would be promoted to the right minister, if he could really become the right minister, he would be too happy.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen must choose a new one as soon as possible to put the railway bureau on the right track."

Yang Guozhong said.

Li Longji thought for a moment and said: "If you can, you can let Yu Chaoen, who has been thinking behind closed doors, help do something, he has worked in the Railway Bureau for so many years, and he knows a lot about the Enterprise Management Department of the Railway Bureau, so let him stand up may be able to stabilize people's hearts." ”

"Your Majesty is right, but in what capacity?"

Yang Guozhong asked.

Li An hurriedly replied: "It's better to let him be the supervisor!" It is specially responsible for supervision and assistance, and has the right to supervise, but has no real power, and can only make suggestions to the chief officer, but cannot make final decisions. ”

Li Longji looked at Li An with great satisfaction, nodded and said, "What Li Shilang said is good, so it's decided!" Let Yu Chaoen not have to continue to think about it behind closed doors, go to the railway bureau to coordinate the work, and the new railway bureau should be elected as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yang Guozhong responded.

"Li Aiqing, Wanli Transsion Project, what step has it reached, give me a solid idea!"

When Li Longji saw Li An, what he wanted to ask most was naturally the Wanli Transsin plan, which was the plan he was most concerned about, and it was also a new technology that the Tang Empire urgently needed, which had an immeasurable role in promoting the prosperity of the Tang Empire.

"Your Majesty, Weichen also wants to talk about this, the recent progress is not bad, it is expected that in two or three months, the first small plan can be realized, and in another month or two, the second step plan can also be successful, however, the various experiments of this plan are more expensive, if the treasury can allocate more funds, then the effect will be better."

Li An opened his mouth to ask for funds.

When Li Longji heard this, he said: "This is easy to do, check the officials of the Railway Bureau, there is already a lot of money in the treasury, how much does Li Aiqing want?" ”

"It doesn't take much, just give a million!"

Ang Lee said with a smile.

This requirement is something that the imperial court can afford, however, this amount is really not small, which department of Datang can ask for one million yuan casually, and there must be a detailed expenditure bill in order to obtain the corresponding funds.

However, since Li An dared to ask for so much, he naturally had a basis, knowing that the emperor would definitely agree to this request, because any department was not as important as the project that Li An was responsible for, and the emperor wished that Li An would be able to develop the telephone tomorrow, and he was still looking forward to talking to people from afar?

"One million times, Li Aiqing, this is a lion's big mouth! Anyway, since the treasury has money now, it can't be piled up and not used, so give one million, but Li Shilang must do his best to study it, and it is good to study this one day sooner. ”

Although Li Longji was surprised, as Li An expected, he generously agreed to Li An's request, and the fund of one million yuan was approved in one sentence, and only the emperor could be so proud.

"Thank Your Majesty for your trust, Weichen will do his best to complete the Wanli Transmission Plan as soon as possible, and will not disappoint His Majesty's ardent expectations."

Li An said happily.

Subsequently, Li Longji asked Li Ang to stay alone, talked with him about some details of the Wanli Transsion plan, and also talked about whether Li Ang had a better plan for the next step, which could surprise Li Longji.

As long as Datang's science and technology have been moving forward, Ang Lee will be able to come up with more interesting inventions and creations, this is just a matter of time, but there is no too awesome plan for the time being, so Ang Lee can only say no, after all, some small inventions and creations can't make Li Longji tempted at all, it's the same whether to say it or not, just like the last solar barbecue, it's just a very ordinary invention, whether there is this thing or not, for the Tang Empire, there is no difference, Although the emperor was very happy to see it, he asked for a hundred in one go, but he was only a little happy, and he was not too excited, and after a few hours, this excitement disappeared.

But Li An has every reason to believe that if the telephone is invented, Li Longji will definitely not be excited for a few hours, but at least for several days, and even, after a few months, he will be able to weaken his excitement a little.

After chatting for half an hour, Li Ang left the main hall, returned to the R&D center to take a look, and then went home.

Yu Chaoen has been reflecting at home for many days, and his mood is extremely depressed, although he is not full of sadness and wants to cry without tears, but at least he is in a bad mood, and it is not generally bad.

After all, not only did he lose the throne of the number one in the railway bureau, but also a large number of gifts received over the years were taken away by the imperial court, and even a considerable part of his own hard-earned money was confiscated by the imperial court, leaving him less money.

The loss of money is naturally secondary, Yu Chaoen has no children, and it is useless to ask for too much money, but the loss of status makes him difficult to accept, people want to face trees and bark, as a eunuch, he is physically defective, and will make ordinary people look down on him, so that he can only find a breakthrough in his status and make himself more statused, so that he will have a sense of pride, and he will feel that although he is physically defective, his status is much higher than that of ordinary ordinary people, so, Instead, these ordinary people want to look up to him, and this can give him a good sense of satisfaction.

And since he was stripped of the position given by the Railway Bureau by the emperor, Yu Chaoen felt that he had become nothing, he felt that not only did he have no money, but his status was also lost, so even if the emperor didn't let him think about it behind closed doors at home, he didn't have the face to go out.

But all this, after Li An's intercession, there was a reversal, the emperor agreed to let Yu Chaoen serve as the supervisor of the Railway Bureau, responsible for monitoring and coordinating the various departments of the Railway Bureau, in this way, Yu Chaoen's status has risen again, at least, this means that the emperor has forgiven him, and he also has the face to go out for a walk, and his mood suddenly improved, although the loss of money is huge, but as long as there is a position, even if he only gets a dead salary, it is a lot, and occasionally receiving less gifts will not attract attention.

For being able to return to work in the Railway Bureau this time, Yu Chaoen was naturally very grateful to Li An, he knew that it was because of Li An's kind words that the emperor decided to reactivate him, so he had to be grateful.

"Ah Lang, there is a guest visiting, and he claims to be Yu Chaoen."

A valet reported.

"Yu Chaoen, you came so soon, you must have come to thank me, please."

Although this product doesn't have much real power, and now it's just a supervisory bureau, but after all, he has served in front of the emperor for a few years, and he is relatively familiar with the palace, and Li Ang is good friends with him, and he can also know a lot of anecdotes that he doesn't know in the palace, and there will definitely be a lot of particularly interesting, and even, there will be a lot of insider stories that ordinary people don't know.

For example, there are so many concubines and palace maids in the palace, but all the eunuchs in the palace are eunuchs except for the emperor, how to solve the problem of loneliness, just endure it, and how the emperor summons the concubines, are there any taboos, and when the concubines take a bath, can the eunuchs watch from the side.

Will the palace maid find the eunuch when she is lonely, and whether the eunuch has the love between men and women, whether there is no desire at all, or there is a perverted desire, what is going on between the palace maid and the eunuch, these Li An are very curious, and they usually don't dare to ask casually, so as not to affect their identity, but after Yu Chaoen has a grateful heart for Li An, Li An can ask these things that make him curious.

"Li Shilang, please accept the little slave."

As soon as Yu Chaoen saw Li An, he knelt down excitedly and saluted.

"Fish Supervision Bureau, this can't be helped, where can I afford such a big gift, get up and sit down."

Li An was very enthusiastic and asked Yu Chaoen to sit down.

The environment in the courtyard is very good, surrounded by fruit trees, but in the middle of winter, there is nothing on the fruit trees, only a few dead leaves, and stubbornly nailed to the branches, as if to tell this of their own tenacity.

Next to the courtyard, across a wall is Ang Lee's inner courtyard, which is also the place where Ang Lee and his wife rest, the highest configuration in the house is in the inner courtyard, the bath room and the swimming pool or something, there is everything.
