Chapter 539 Lord Wang's eloquent speech shocked the entire hall.
Chapter 539 Lord Wang's eloquent speech shocked the entire hall.
As the ceremony concluded and the ministers rose to their feet, their peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the still exceptionally handsome emperor on the dragon throne, his bright yellow dragon robe exuding majesty and domineering presence.
However, in slight contrast, there was a standing black fan beside the Emperor that had been brought in by Eunuch Wufu...
It was swaying its head from side to side, gently waving, constantly sending a cool breeze towards the direction where the emperor was sitting.
The ministers naturally understood that this item was a rare treasure that Lord Wang had specially brought back from the Fairy Realm.
Since their eye-opening experience at the imperial court yesterday, they all rushed back to their residences, locked themselves in, and frantically studied the various aspects of the "Fairyland," marveling at all the magical objects there.
Today, at first glance, I noticed that His Majesty was the first to use this treasure from the "Fairyland" in the court...
The ministers couldn't help but secretly think about when they should arrange a trip to the fairyland, and that they should definitely bring back a lot of fashionable items there!
Subsequently, the morning court proceeded smoothly according to the usual procedures.
Initially, the Six Ministries and the Nine Ministers reported on their daily government affairs in turn.
Although Lord Wang stood obediently and listened attentively, his mind had already wandered far away.
The thought of the momentous matter concerning the world that he was about to report filled him with excitement, and he would often drift off into daydreams.
Finally, the "court discussion" session arrived, and Lord Wang immediately took a big step forward, holding his tablet in both hands.
Unfortunately, he was still a step behind Minister Min of the Ministry of Works, who was in the front row.
According to official rank, it is natural that Lord Min should speak first.
Therefore, Lord Wang decided to step back into the queue.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor directly named him: "What does Vice Minister Wang have to report?"
Xuan Moyuan glanced at Wang Fantong standing below the hall, and from the smug look on his face, he could already guess that what Wang Fantong was doing was related to the [Fairyland].
His mind stirred slightly, and he asked the question directly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Fantong hurriedly withdrew his left foot, which was about to step back, and looked up in astonishment.
Just before his peripheral vision caught the gaze that seemed to have locked him in place, he quickly lowered his head again.
He glanced at the key points he had written down overnight on the tablet, quickly organized his thoughts, and began to relay the meaning that Miss Bai needed him to convey in her voice message.
Thanks to the ability to repeatedly play and listen to voice messages, Lord Wang was treated as if he had an open-book exam.
Therefore, at this moment, he recited the key information he had repeatedly listened to and recorded the previous night, and delivered astonishing words that shocked the entire court.
"I have received a report from Wang Fantong, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I have heard that Miss Bai, the owner of [Fairyland], intends to extend the public transportation system, which is already in place in Yongle County, Anzhou, to the entire territory of Anshun!"
However, due to their limited resources, they wanted to work together with the imperial court to finalize and implement the selection of public stations within the jurisdiction of each prefecture and state as soon as possible.
As for all subsequent public transportation services similar to those in Anzhou, they will all be sponsored free of charge by Miss Bai on behalf of [Fairyland]...
Although Lord Wang was a bit of a glutton, he was a good official who cared deeply for the people.
When he finally began to report, his passionate and inspiring words shocked and moved all the civil and military officials present.
Some officials, even those with shallow minds, couldn't help but shed tears at the thought of such a grand event coming to fruition...
Wang Fantong recounted Bai's instructions in detail in the court. His loud voice resonated deeply, each word striking the hearts of everyone present.
"I believe this matter is of great importance. We must discuss and reach a conclusion that Miss Bai expects as soon as possible, and do our best to cooperate with her to implement it, so as not to disappoint Miss Bai's selfless and kind heart!"
This is my humble opinion; I humbly request Your Majesty's wise decision..."
……
As if moved by Lord Wang's impassioned words, the court was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
When Lord Wang finished speaking, the entire audience spontaneously erupted in thunderous applause, which grew louder and louder and lasted for a long time.
Amid applause, the ministers couldn't help but express their admiration for Miss Bai's righteous act.
Even Xuan Moyuan, who was usually serious and rarely smiled, had a slight smile on his lips from beginning to end. His heart was filled with excitement, and he seemed unable to describe in words the magnificent scene of the country he longed for.
He always advocated innovation and putting the people first. Although he had this ambition, he could not be as far-sighted as the extraordinary Miss Bai, who had both exceptional ideas and abilities, and who could make the whole country accessible to all.
It is easy to imagine how much convenience this public transportation would bring to people's daily travel if it were truly extended to all prefectures and counties.
This woman's magnanimity is truly admirable and awe-inspiring!
"Minister Wang, I will temporarily appoint you as the messenger ambassador. From now on, you will be responsible for relaying messages and communicating with Miss Bai. Remember to cooperate with Miss Bai's needs as much as possible."
The Minister of Personnel was instructed to immediately dispatch messengers to notify the governors-general and provincial governors of various regions, ordering them to take charge of selecting public transportation sites within their respective jurisdictions, referring to the existing public transportation site selection plans in Anzhou, especially Yongle County.
Select suitable locations in areas with high pedestrian traffic within the jurisdiction and submit a detailed report of the selected locations.
This matter is of great importance. The order is to pass down that the cooperation of all officials will be included in the year-end performance evaluation. They must personally take charge and produce results as quickly as possible.
Furthermore, Kong Wenfeng, the magistrate of Yongle County in Xuan'an Prefecture, should quickly enter the palace to impart his experience and insights on site selection…
Furthermore, what doubts or thoughts do you, my esteemed ministers, have regarding this matter? Please feel free to share them.
As soon as Xuan Moyuan spoke, the officials who were named immediately accepted the order.
At the same time, the sharp-eyed chief eunuch Wu Fu immediately took the order and instructed the imperial attendants to quickly go to the official residence where Kong Wenfeng was still living to summon him.
With the suggestions and advice offered by the ministers present, the implementation plan for this matter was roughly formed.
However, once the policies are implemented in various regions, the specific deadlines for implementation become somewhat difficult to define.
Although high-speed rail is now prevalent, it has not yet spread throughout the entire Anshun Kingdom, so sending a messenger to notify the governors and viceroys in those areas with inconvenient transportation would be a time-consuming and laborious task...
Just when everyone was at a loss about this proposal, Lord Wang spoke up and suggested:
"In that case, how about I ask Miss Bai for her thoughts and suggestions?"
That young lady in white is incredibly powerful; perhaps we could borrow some magical means of transportation from her!
Upon hearing Wang Fantong's words, all the ministers nodded in agreement, expressing their deep conviction and urging him to quickly seek help from Miss Bai and listen to her advice.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Fantong was about to call Xiao Jing to send a message to Miss Bai when the Emperor, who had been silent in front of the palace, suddenly spoke up.
"Minister Wang, wait!"
Seeing Wang Fantong stop what he was doing and look up with a puzzled expression, Xuan Moyuan calmly explained:
"It's too early now, don't disturb the young lady's sweet dreams... Wait until she contacts you first before asking!"
Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Wang Fantong suddenly realized that he had been presumptuous and disregarded the proper time of day.
It was barely dawn, and Miss Bai was fast asleep. She almost made a mistake; the Emperor was so considerate!
Seeing that the Emperor seemed to glare at him, Wang Fantong smiled憨憨地, secretly thinking to himself: It seems the Emperor really has a special feeling for that Miss Bai~
He quickly agreed verbally.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is wise, I will keep it in mind."
After the court session, Wang Fantong was naturally kept behind by the emperor to await news.
Liu, the Minister of Personnel, who had originally planned to send someone to inform the governors of various regions immediately, was also temporarily kept behind to wait for news from Miss Bai.
Meanwhile, Bai Mengran, who hadn't told Lord Wang about giving him the phone back because it was late the night before, never dreamed...
These ancient civil servants were incredibly efficient; in just one morning court session, they had already decided to send someone down to implement the matter.
After she woke up naturally and became fully conscious, the first thing she seemed to remember was that she had forgotten to buy a cell phone the night before.
"Hehe, before the system logs on, let's see if I can touch my little treasury~"
After all, buying ten phones is quite a sum of money, and she wanted to take the opportunity to pay for it herself.
Bai Mengran opened the Forget-Me-Not mobile phone store that was under construction. As a perk for the host, she could already place orders for unlocked mobile phone models in advance.
"Huh? Why can I still only submit the order but not make payment..."
Sigh, this little commander really doesn't give me a single chance to spend money..."
Bai Mengran shook her head helplessly, and could only accept Brother Tongzi's kindness with tears in her eyes.
