"Everyone is doing this for your own good. Don't do anything stupid when you're hot-headed!"
Dismantle it? Make weapons?
Fang Zheng was very happy. He could tolerate being scolded a few times, but now that it was almost completed, he could not tolerate anyone planning to move the railway!
"Absolutely not. The railway is a national treasure. Your Highness the Crown Prince and I have worked so hard to build it. You want to tear it down just like that? The steel used for the rails was also specially re-smelted and cast. How is it different from robbery if you buy it at a fair price?"
Emperor Jing frowned and said, "The most important tool of the country? Fang Qing, what exactly is the railway used for? You have been vague about it before. Why don't you just tell us directly? Now it has affected military and national affairs."
Seeing that the situation had reached a point where it could no longer be delayed, Fang Zhengyi said in a deep voice: "Railways are extraordinary. To be frank, they will be a sacred tool to protect the country's destiny in the future. I am afraid that someone will come out to cause trouble and something unforeseen may happen, so I have not made it public until now."
Guarding the fate of the country? Isn't this just a rumor among the people? How could it really deceive a group of ordinary people?
The ministers were immediately in an uproar. They all went to Dongjiao University every month to attend science classes, but it turns out that you were the one who indulged in superstition?
Everyone spent a lot of effort guessing what this broken railway was used for, and in the end it turned out to be a metaphysical reason?
"So it's really as folk legend has it, repairing armor for dragon veins?"
"Stop joking. When did the dragon vein run to the eastern suburbs? Lord Fang, have you been deceived?"
"Master Fang, you have to speak scientifically!!!"
Even Emperor Jing felt somewhat flustered.
Zhengyi has always been quite smart. Has he been deceived by the wandering demon? He even believes that building a railway can protect the country's destiny.
Are you throwing money into it recklessly to protect the dragon vein?
Even if you are filial, you can't be filial in this way. If you fall into poverty, I will have to provide for you.
"Your Majesty, please give me another two months. Within two months, I will give you a satisfactory explanation. If you are not satisfied by then, just demolish the railway and let you take away whatever you like for free. I, Fang Zhengyi, will never complain!" Fang Zhengyi ignored the comments and said in a loud voice.
Say whatever you want about love, as long as you can hold on until the railway is successfully born.
The ministers shook their heads and sighed.
There's no hope. Superstition kills people.
Seeing that no one responded, Fang Zheng made up his mind and added: "If you are not satisfied, just castrate me and I will enter the palace to be a companion to the emperor's grandson!"
