There are many ways to solve the problems of living people.

Including turning living people into dead people.

Then the problem will naturally be solved instantly.

But the problem of dead people is the most difficult to solve.

When the cabinet issued the planned route of the Western Railway, which was initially formulated, to the local government.First of all, there was the opposition of local officials. This was already under consideration by the court, and there were already ways to deal with and weigh it.

But I don’t know who actually leaked the planned route of the Western Railway in advance.

then.

Starting from Henan Prefecture, unprecedented public opposition broke out in prefectures and counties along the Western Railway.

At this time, no one had time to think about who had leaked the route. The officials responsible for the construction of the western railway were already in a hurry by the people.

The opposition of the people was speechless.

Because according to the planned route of the Western Railway, there are various situations on it.

Mountains, rivers, cities, fields and villages.

Railway construction can build mountains when encountering mountains, build bridges when encountering rivers, and set up stations across cities.

The fields and villages can also be compensated by the court and the people can be resettled.

But there are countless tombs on the route plan.

Once the Western Railway is built according to the planned route, a side-by-side grave relocation operation will inevitably be carried out during the process of relocating people.

Move the grave.

This has always been an unacceptable thing for the Central Plains people.

When people suffer hardships or enjoy blessings during their lifetime, they look forward to changing their luck for future generations or extending their family's fortune after death.

The tomb became a place of good luck.

If nothing goes wrong, who would be willing to move the graves of their ancestors?

It is precisely for this reason that countless storybooks from ancient times to the present have depicted rural people who are submissive on weekdays, but once the tombs of their homes are disturbed by local bullies, they will inevitably get violent, hurt, and even die.

This grave protection movement caught the court by surprise and put Xie Jin under pressure.

Wherever he goes now, he feels that others look at him strangely.

In the duty room on the side of the cabinet room.

Xie Jin's face was full of sorrow, and even the officials who were coming in and out did not dare to make any big noise, for fear of making Xie Ge unhappy and scolding him more.

It was at this time that Bai Yuxiu walked in with a stack of documents.

"Everyone, it's lunch break time, why are you still busy?"

Bai Yuxiu glanced at the officials guarding the duty room and said with a chuckle.

The officials immediately showed careful smiles, knowing that Bai Langzhong was rescuing them.

Everyone immediately responded and exited the room.

Bai Yuxiu looked around, then sat down opposite Xie Jin with the document in her arms.

"Why do you look sad, sir?" Bai Yuxiu asked knowingly.

Jie Jin glared at Bai Yuxiu angrily, and then threw the teapot in front of the student.

"Pour yourself some tea."

Bai Yuxiu chuckled, stood up and took the tea cup from the side, sat back down, poured herself some tea, and said, "Sir, are you worried about things in the northwest?"

Xie Jin slammed his hands on the table, and said with a puzzled face: "Tell me, the people are opposed to the imperial court moving the tombs. After all, filial piety comes first, and we cannot waste care about the deceased's affairs. This is understandable.

However, those families who had not been crossed by the railway were actually opposed to it, and bluntly said that the court was ruining the feng shui in front of and behind their homes.

What is this word? "

Although Jie Jin kept complaining on his lips, he knew it in his heart.

He can resolve the opposition of local officials, but he cannot forcefully resolve the opposition of local people.

If he pushed it forcefully, he would forcefully move the grave.

Then he will become the public enemy of the whole world in an instant.

A cabinet minister who was in charge of the central government was able to destroy people's ancestral graves for the sake of his own political achievements.

Regardless of his true intention of building the Western Railway, it was for the country to develop the northwest, thereby recreating the Western Regions of the Han and Tang Dynasties and reopening the Silk Road.

People will only think that Xie Jin is a traitor, a traitor who can destroy people's tombs.

Bai Yuxiu frowned.

It is indeed troublesome to have such a problem before us.

After all, Feng Shui and luck have always been both mysterious and mysterious.

Even the royal family believes in this. How can it prevent the people from believing in this?

What's more important is that this matter involves the dominance and legal rationality of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the so-called luck and feng shui can still be explained in terms of mystery and mystery.

But this matter also involves filial piety.

This is where Xie Jin’s real distress lies.

It is not without reason that all dynasties have governed the country with filial piety.

Starting from this, the patriarchal ethics and ethics were extended, and the core arguments for educating all peoples were supported.

Once filial piety is broken.

This also shows that the Ming Dynasty no longer recognizes the patriarchal ethics and ethics currently pursued by the court.

At that time, the world will be in chaos.

As long as Xie Jin ignores and forcibly moves the tomb, I am afraid that as soon as his decree comes out of Wenyuan Pavilion, others will be taken away by Jin Yiwei.

No one can destroy the patriarchal ethics.

Because this is not only to safeguard the authority of the emperor and ensure the status and legitimacy of the king, but also the core foundation for maintaining the order of billions of people in the entire world.

In the check-in room, Xie Jin let out a long sigh and felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body: "The idea of ​​the Western Railway has been planned for more than a year, and has been discussed several times in the DPRK and China. Now it has finally been approved.

Originally, I knew that even if the resolution was passed, it would be difficult once construction started, but I never thought that I still ignored this point and caused such a big problem.

If the local officials have complaints, the imperial court can relocate the people, add more fields, and even hire people to enrich the people.

But I cannot touch the ancestral graves of the common people.Even His Majesty will not move it.

This is filial piety and human ethics.

Disaster……

This matter is extremely difficult..."

Bai Yuxiu turned her eyes and asked tentatively: "What if we re-plan the route and avoid those cemeteries? If we avoid the places where our ancestors' bones are buried, what objections can the people have?
If it is unreasonable, and the railway is too far away from the front house, such people can move it elsewhere.

As long as you don't destroy the people's tombs, the matter will be solved. Why are you so worried here? "

In Bai Yuxiu's view, this problem is not too difficult to solve.

On the way here, he thought that what the people were objecting to now was not the construction of the railway, but the fact that the construction of the railway would destroy the feng shui of their ancestral graves.

The railway just needs to avoid these common people's ancestral graves.

Jie Jin shook his head helplessly.

He looked at Bai Yuxiu and explained: "Why haven't I thought of your method? But the Ministry of Industry also said that it is okay to avoid one or two places on the railway, but you cannot always avoid it everywhere. If This is the case everywhere, and the cost of building this railway will increase countless times in vain, which no one can estimate.

What's more important is that the railway route must be changed to avoid the tombs of the people, but in some places there are very few places where the route can be modified.

Once all modifications are made, this railway may not be able to bear the passage of trains on it, and it will only become a track laid on the ground. "

Bai Yuxiu frowned.

He didn't quite understand what the Ministry of Industry meant.

Xie Jin looked at the student again and knew that the other party did not understand the reason.

He didn't say anything, he just took a few documents from the desk, lined them up in two rows, and laid out a twisting passage on the table.

Then Jie Jin searched on the table for a while, and finally found an ink strip of similar size and placed it in the passage between the two rows of documents.

Xie Jin pressed his fingers on the ink strip and started pushing from one end.

At first, the ink strip could move normally in the middle, but when intensive bends appeared in front of it, it became completely unable to move.

"Do you understand?"

Xie Jin asked and immediately explained: "When the Ministry of Industry first planned this railway, it considered issues such as cost, route, access, and the villages and fields that needed to be demolished and relocated.

The plan that has been made now has balanced all the problems before it finally took shape.

Once the routes are re-planned and modified to avoid tombs on the road, the railway tracks in many places will be like a mess. By then, not only trains, but also horse-drawn carriages will not be able to pass. "

After such explanation, Bai Yuxiu finally understood the root of the problem.

"Is there really nothing we can do?"

Bai Yuxiu murmured in a low voice, feeling a little disappointed.

There seems to be no solution to the problem.

"Sir, why don't you ask His Highness the Grand Sun?"

Gao Yangzhi's voice suddenly came from outside.

Xie Jin and Bai Yuxiu looked at the door at the same time.

I saw Gao Yangzhi, dressed in red robe, standing at the door with his arms folded and a smile on his face.

"Gao Ge is here."

Bai Yuxiu stood up immediately, and instead of calling her senior, she called him elder like an official.

Gao Yangzhi waved his hand and stepped into the threshold, closing the door smoothly.

He first looked at Jie Jin who was sitting motionless, then looked at Bai Yuxiu, and said with a smile: "Sit down, now you are all doctors in the Ministry of Personnel, and you are still so reserved."

Bai Yuxiu just smiled honestly, moved away, and stood aside.

Gao Yangzhi naturally sat in Bai Yuxiu's original position.

When he just sat down, Bai Yuxiu had already brought Gao Yangzhi a cup of tea.

Gao Yangzhi nodded and looked aside: "There are only three of us, master and disciple, in this room. Bring a chair over and sit and listen."

Bai Yuxiu hummed.

The room seemed a little quiet.

Gao Yangzhi held the tea cup and tasted it leisurely. If his husband didn't speak, he didn't intend to speak.

Xie Jin seemed to be impatient with the waiting, and frowned: "Are you saying that His Highness the Grand Sun has a way to solve this problem?"

Gao Yangzhi shook his head.

Just when Xie Jin's face showed disappointment.

Gao Yangzhi turned around and said with a smile: "It's not that Your Majesty the Grand Sun has a way to solve the problem that Mr. Xiang is encountering now, but that the method has been placed in front of you for a long time. It's just that Mr. and many others are obsessed with the authorities and have not seen clearly what the solution is." Nothing more."

There is actually a way!

Xie Jin, who was already looking disappointed, immediately showed a look of expectation in his eyes.

"What's the solution?"

He asked a little eagerly.

In fact, these days, Xie Jin was a little angry because of the local opposition public opinion.

Gao Yangzhi, however, said slowly and carefully: "Relocate the graves and move the ancestral graves of all the people involved in the planned route of the Western Railway to other places!"

Bai Yuxiu, who was sitting aside, was taking a sip of tea from a tea cup.

Hearing Senior Gao's words, he almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

Xie Jin also widened his eyes and observed the student with the highest achievements in the officialdom several times, wondering if this guy was joking with him.

However, Gao Yangzhi continued calmly: "In the 28th year of Hongwu, Duke Xin Guo passed away. The emperor's grandson took the order to patrol the north for the first time and passed Fengyang to pay homage to Duke Xin. Before leaving the capital, the emperor's grandson came The DPRK proposed to build a mausoleum of meritorious service in Zhongshan to bury the Ming Dynasty’s meritorious military and civil servants. It was proposed to build a mausoleum of meritorious officials outside Yingtian City to bury the meritorious officers and soldiers of our dynasty.

As soon as this move came out, all the officials were eager, and the army officers and soldiers were even more willing to serve the country with all their might.

Today, Mr. Xiang is building the Western Railway for the country. He wants to recreate the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties and open the Silk Road again. However, he encounters dissatisfaction and obstruction from the people along the way. This is human common sense.

But how can we abandon the idea of ​​building a railway just because we have no time to sleep and eat?
Now, in the opinion of students, I would like to inform Your Majesty that for the sake of the country and the people, the imperial court has ordered that mausoleums be built along the planned railway line, and that the tombs of the people passing through the railway be relocated and buried in the mausoleums together.

Building mausoleums, building merit arches, and spreading messages to various places in accordance with the imperial decree can promote the justice of the people, the benevolence and righteousness of the country, and complete the rule of benevolence and filial piety in our country.

In the future, every Qingming Festival and Winter Solstice, the local government will have officials enter the mausoleum to pay homage to the people who moved the tombs on behalf of the emperor.

In this way, I can be united in serving the king and the people, which will be a good story for eternity. "

After Gao Yangzhi finished speaking, he leaned on the chair and continued drinking tea from the cup.

But he felt that the tea soup seemed a little cold, so he put the tea cup on the table and glanced sideways at Bai Yuxiu.

At this time, Bai Yuxiu was already impressed by Senior Gao's actions.

It turns out that something that neither my husband nor I could figure out how to solve could be solved in this way.

Mausoleums were rebuilt locally for those people who needed to move their graves.

This is the emperor's will, the emperor's order, and the emperor's favor.

Not to mention, this mausoleum was built by the imperial court, and a merit archway was also built.Just the fact that local officials will replace the emperor every year in the future and go to the tomb to pay homage to those people during the Qingming Festival and Winter Solstice is already a benefit that people cannot refuse.

Perhaps no matter how much money and food the court gave, it could not persuade the people to move the graves of their ancestors.

But once this matter escalates to the emperor's favor, Bai Yuxiu dares to swear now.

As long as this matter is approved by His Majesty, the imperial court will issue a decree.

Then the northwest side will fall into another craze.

There were even people who secretly took their whole family to dig the graves of their ancestors in the middle of the night and moved the graves to the planned route of the Western Railway promulgated by the imperial court.

What he strives for is a mausoleum for his ancestors to be buried in a mausoleum with a merit arch built by the emperor's order, and where officials pay homage every year.

No matter how great your luck is, it is not as good as the luck of the founding emperor.

No matter how good the feng shui is, it is not as good as the feng shui of the mausoleum built by the emperor's order.

Xie Jin was also extremely surprised.

I didn't expect that this problem, which was supposed to be unsolvable, could be solved in this way.

He raised his head and widened his eyes, looking at the most accomplished student in front of him: "Is this really feasible?"

Gao Yangzhi smiled slightly: "That's why the student said that you should go to His Highness the Grand Sun first."

(When railways were built in the late Qing Dynasty, there were cases where people protested against the construction of railways because of issues related to metaphysics and Feng Shui. Of course, at that time, there were also many officials and wealthy families who opposed the construction of railways because of their personal preferences and inability to accept new things. Railway. Even the Manchu rulers were afraid of damaging the Dragon Vein and organized the construction of railways.)
(The first railway that appeared on Chinese soil in 1876 was the Wusong Railway built by the British capital group through deception.)
