After the morning court session, His Highness Prince Fu seriously considered the manufacturing of wooden rail tracks. This matter could no longer be neglected. Now that the rail track project was showing a shortage of materials, if he continued to seek profits and use a large number of workers for personal gain, he might attract unwanted attention.
One primary reason he took control of the rail track production was to prevent the entire rail transportation project from falling solely into Jinrong's hands. The court's rail transportation was a major project, and should it prove significantly effective, the rail track work would continue for many years to come, with tracks spreading throughout the lands of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Such a monumental project must not fall under the control of another prince.
