Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 365 Diversion
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"

After reading the content of the official letter in his hand, Zhou Kui was very resistant, looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said: "The old minister wants to pay money, recruit a group of brave men from Shanshan and Shanxi who have fled, and arrange for their families.

When they work for the firm, they are to be paid wages.

The key point is that under the rule of Fucaifang, the dilapidated land has to pay the land purchase money to the Shuntian government office. There are veterans paying for the money inside and outside the place! "

"Yes."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly.

Zhou Kui: "..."

Don't you take the old minister for a fool!

You directly stated that you can buy a marquis for how much money you pay, so why bother to go to such lengths.

Zhou Kui's stingy nature once again possessed him.

"This is the opportunity I gave the country's father."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "As long as the head of the country does things according to my will, I can not only confer the title of head of the country, but also make the head of the country earn a lot of money."

Son-in-law of the emperor, you are thinking too much.

Coaxing fools is not the way to coax.

The corners of Zhou Kui's mouth twitched, with complicated emotions. Looking at the smiling Emperor Chongzhen, he complained in his heart.

He really couldn't imagine how it was possible to make money by doing this.

Hiring Lao Zhuang is not a small expense.

It is not a small expense to arrange family members.

Buying a plot of land is not a small expense.

Just wanting to do this job well and organize a strong team of more than a thousand people will cost at least 8 taels of silver.

Asking him to take out so much money at once would be better than killing him.

"The head of the state also knows that the capital is the heart of Ming Dynasty, and the land here is precious." Emperor Chongzhen stood up, walked forward slowly, and said as he walked.

"The city of Fucaifang was severely damaged by the explosion of the Wang Gong factory during the Tianqi Dynasty. Many residential buildings have not been repaired yet.

If the business name created by Guozhang can build such buildings on some abandoned land, and gradually transform Fucaifang into a market for literati consumption, how much money can it earn? "

As he said that, Emperor Chongzhen lifted up the architectural paper pattern he ordered earlier and presented it in front of Zhou Kui, which made the stingy Zhou Kui stunned.

"This is impossible."

Zhou Kui looked at the architectural paper patterns in Fucaifang, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Your Majesty, you don't understand construction matters. Even if you build a residential house with green bricks and glue them with glutinous rice and eggs, it is impossible to build a residential house." so high."

The architectural patterns in Zhou Kui's eyes, taking Fucaifang as the bearing place, are all seven or eight-story brick and stone buildings, which have never been seen in Daming.

Even if it is really built, the wall is absolutely impossible to be so thin, otherwise, in terms of bearing capacity alone, it will collapse before the third floor is built.

"nothing is impossible."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen the father-in-law, because the father-in-law is ignorant, I selected a group of artisans from among the Western missionaries.

Under the rule of their European countries, there is something that can replace glutinous rice, eggs, etc., called cement.

This material is mixed with sand and water, can dry quickly in the shortest time, and is extremely strong.

Right now, this thing is under development, and when the head of the country completes the preliminary preparations for the company, then this thing can be mass-produced as soon as possible. "

Zhou Kui: "..."

cement?

What is this?
Are the things used by Western barbarians reliable?

Zhou Kui had many doubts and scruples.

If what the emperor said is true, then gradually taking over the abandoned land of Fucaifang and building such a building can indeed earn a lot of money.

Whether it is for external sales, or for various industries such as restaurants and brothels, the subsequent income is not a small amount.

Under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhou Kui's small calculations were already crackling.

'I don't know the specific process of cement, but I do know the raw materials needed. 'Looking at the silent Zhou Kui, Emperor Chongzhen's small calculations also began to fight.

'Even though the Armed Forces Institute has not yet successfully calcined cement, it will definitely be successful after continuous testing and summarizing the failure experience.

If it weren't for the wave of refugees who fled this time, there are a lot of people coming to Beizhili, I wouldn't tell you the name of cement to you, a stingy guy. '

In order to stabilize Zhou Kui's heart, tell him to act according to his own plan, and willingly pay the money, Emperor Chongzhen made up all kinds of rhetoric.

At that time, in the countries of Europa, where was there any cement?

The places where they live are all low buildings made of stones, like castles that cost a lot of money, only nobles can live there.

"Your Majesty, what you said is really true?"

The stingy Zhou Kui asked tentatively with his eyebrows almost drawn together.

"Is the father-in-law doubting my words?"

Emperor Chongzhen's sword eyebrows were upside down, he stared at Zhou Kui and said, "If the head of the country doesn't want to be knighted, then I've never said what I said, and on the queen's side, I will..."

"Your Majesty! This old minister didn't mean that!"

When Zhou Kui heard this, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly bowed and said: "The old minister has never distrusted your majesty, the old minister is doing it, your majesty is wise and powerful, and a Huitong ticket number is called the old minister to earn..."

Talking, talking, Zhou Kui stopped.

The miserly nature will never change.

For a person like Zhou Kui, even though Emperor Chongzhen pinched his life, his desire to earn more money never dissipated.

But this is exactly what Emperor Chongzhen wanted.

To build a state-run economy, there must not be only the inner court, but also forces outside the inner court. Although Zhou Kui, a stingy father-in-law, has a lot of problems, if he can be adjusted well, he can do a lot of things.

"The family doesn't speak two languages."

Emperor Chongzhen pretended not to know, stepped forward to hold Zhou Kui's arms, and said with a smile: "Since the head of the country is willing to share my worries, then act according to the official letter I wrote.

First recruit [-] young and strong, and arrange their families. If the head of the country does not have so much land, it can be diverted to Huangzhuang under the name of the inner court. The head of the country will provide all the expenses.

After everything is arranged properly, I will pay the purchased plot of land to the Shuntian government office, and I will call the inner court to provide the king with the corresponding building needs. "

Zhou Kui, who was in a complicated mood, looked at the smiling emperor, and felt his scalp tingling. He opened his mouth and was five thousand young and strong. How much money would it cost him! ! !
But the matter has come to this, what else can he do besides bite the bullet and agree?
"The old minister leads the order!"

Zhou Kui showed a smile that was uglier than crying, bowed and saluted and said: "After the old minister left the palace, he called up people to plan this matter. His Majesty will definitely not be disappointed."
