From the Discworld "Industrial Revolution" series.
A con man is hanged... almost. Vetennari arranges for the hangman to almost kill him, then puts him in charge of repairing the postal system, which has been completely useless for decades and now faces the klax towers.
The Grand Trunk company is a holding company that stole the klax system away from its idealistic but business-ignorant inventors. They've been sucking it dry and have neglected maintenance for so long that it breaks down constantly, giving the post office their chance to step back in again.
