Compared to the Crown Prince's extravagant expenditures, constructing the railway is nothing of significance, even if it incurs some cost, it is for a legitimate cause. Moreover, it is evident that after constructing the railway, the court's manpower and material resources for transporting supplies have greatly decreased. This project, after a period of financial strain, will yield long-term benefits.
In order to build the railway, the emperor has simplified various palace ceremonies and banquets as much as possible. Even the frequency of official penalties has increased over the past two years compared to before. Common reprimands and demotions are now replaced with penalties.
