Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 30 Earning a living!
My cheap father lived in the capital for a while, and then returned to his hometown in Linqing.

Before leaving, Zhang Haogu asked his father to restrain himself.

Don't push the farmers too hard.

In case one or two people who can't keep their eyes open come to the capital to sue the imperial court, our family will be a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans.

Royal Garden

"Master, it's really amazing. I didn't even expect that your policy question is so insightful, even if Master Sun sees it, you will praise it. Nuo, this is the comment sent by Master Sun overnight!"

At this moment, Zhu Youzheng was dancing and chatting with Zhang Haogu.

This Master Sun is Sun Chengzong.

Zhang Haogu opened the memorial casually.

Words, Young Master Zhang knows it.

Sun Chengzong's memorial to Zhu Youxiao is naturally simple and straightforward, without so many twists and turns.

Roughly speaking, this method works.

You can try it, and please train in Liaodong.

However, although there were a few words of praise between the lines, Zhang Haogu felt that Sun Chengzong obviously did not intend to do so.

Does it make sense, Zhang Haogu understands.

If he really did what he said, it would be the end of the calf.

Guerrilla warfare is easy to say in three simple words, but can you do it?
Where are you going without soldiers and civilians?Where do you resupply?

When Qiu Ba from Liaodong met the Jurchens, the biggest idea of ​​the Mongols was to exchange their heads for money.

If there is no head, kill the good and take the credit!
Going out to fight in the field, Daming is really no match for others.

It's great if you can hold it, but you still want to fight it out?

This is impossible.

If the internal party struggles and Ming Dynasty's military merit system were not resolved, no amount of strategy would be considered nonsense.

Sun Chengzong's method is the least bad method among countless bad methods.

This is a sensible person, at least much better than Zhao Nanxing.

"Has the emperor approved it?" Zhang Haogu put down the memorial and asked with a smile.

"I'm ready!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile: "Master's strategy is correct, but unfortunately, people like Zhao Nanxing are still talking about enlightenment. I think he must have confused his head by reading!"

"Not necessarily!"

Zhang Haogu laughed and said: "Does the emperor know the story of Ye Gong's love for dragons?"

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Of course I know!"

Then Zhang Haogu said, "It's not that Zhao Nanxing confused his head by reading, but that the entire Donglin Party likes to preach and educate. Scholars like to educate because they need to talk about it. Your Majesty asked him to go to Liaodong to educate and build slaves. You Let's see if he goes or not? The fire still hasn't reached me!"

Zhu Youxiao snorted, looked at Zhang Haogu again, and said, "Master, you are also a scholar, why don't you like education?"

"Who said I don't like teaching?" Zhang Haogu spread his hands together: "I like teaching very much, but the method is different. I don't like to teach them with my mouth, but with knives and guns to give them physical education!"

Zhu Youxiao knows physics now, so he couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and felt that Zhang Haogu's words were very interesting.

Zhang Haogu smiled and continued: "By the way, Your Majesty, I have something new for you!"

Only then did Zhu Youxiao notice that there was another scroll in Zhang Haogu's hand.

After taking it and unfolding it, I saw that the scroll was painted on a very peculiar sketch of wooden utensils. The wooden utensil looked like a two-wheeled cart, with handles, pedals, and seats, but the two wheels were in front of one another. Unable to drive.

Zhu Youxiao suddenly became interested,

"This is the wheel, this is the chain? I remember you said that!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at the thing in front of him with bright eyes, and carefully looked at every part again: "What the hell is this?"

"Your Majesty, this thing is called a bicycle."

Zhang Haogu smiled, and pointed to the sketch to explain the operation principle of the bicycle to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but gasped suddenly: "Interesting, interesting, this is the tire, what is the rubber?"

"This thing is another technology!"

Zhang Haogu laughed: "Your Majesty, if such a wooden cart is made, people can ride on it, step on the wheels and move forward, stably and fast, several times faster than walking and sitting in a sedan chair." .

Zhu Youxiao looked at it carefully, but couldn't help but let out a voice of admiration: "Not bad, not bad! This thing is a bit interesting, but compared to the real wooden cow and horse, there is also the movable one that you said, master. The iron car, but it is far behind!"

"Your Majesty, it is not so easy to make this thing!"

Zhang Haogu smiled, and said slowly: "This has to be done slowly. This is no better than a clockwork frog. It costs money. First of all, it needs more manganese steel. This is the iron car, what is needed is the rails, and the steam engine, rubber..."

Zhu Youxiao frowned.

Suddenly, it felt like it was really difficult.

Don't look at what Zhang Haogu said is simple.

However, in practice, it is extremely difficult.

The main thing is money.

money!
The emperor didn't have much money either.

The three major Wanli campaigns basically emptied the treasury's silver, and the rest was all their own small treasury of internal funds.

If this is the case, the money is not spent, and Nurhachi will not rise.

If you are not in charge of your family, you don't know how expensive firewood is.

Zhu Youxiao became the emperor, and he also deeply felt the difficulty of the current situation.

Why do these bastards ask me for money?
Now, Zhu Youxiao discovered again, how could he spend money on his hobbies?
Too grassy!
Zhu Youxiao was a little depressed.

"emperor!"

Zhang Haogu coughed and said slowly: "But you are worried about money?"

"Things are tough!"

Zhu Youxiao said helplessly: "Now Liaodong is restless, and the refugees have to be resettled. Disasters have occurred in various places, and the imperial court has to help the victims. I seem to be an emperor, so I can only do some carpentry. The three halls are broken. I don't dare to fix what has become, but... the most difficult thing in this world is money."

"The emperor is truly insightful!"

Zhang Haogu smiled, and said slowly: "But, making money, in fact, it's easy to say, it's not that difficult!"

Oh?
Zhu Youxiao became interested: "How to say?"

Zhang Haogu smiled: "Business!"

"Doing business?"

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, and then said seriously: "Actually, master, I have been doing business all the time."

"is it?"

Suddenly Zhang Haogu was a little surprised, this dog emperor is actually still in business?
Zhu Youxiao coughed: "I sent many eunuchs to various parts of the world to collect salt and iron money, as well as mine money. They use my Ming's salt and ore. I let them open mountains, sell salt, and sell iron. Shouldn't they Give me some money?"

Zhang Haogu: "..."

Are you doing business?Are you robbing?

But think about it carefully.

What Zhu Youxiao said seemed to make sense.

There is no king's soil under the whole world, and there is no king's ministers on the coast of leading the soil.

We open mines, sell iron, and sell salt in our house. Shouldn't we honestly give money?
It's just that you can't ask for too much money.

It seems that it is still necessary to popularize the principles of economics for him.

"emperor!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Have you ever thought about it, the salt and iron are collected, and the consumption is huge. I am afraid that if it is in the hands of the emperor, there is not much left. Otherwise, how can your majesty have the money to do some carpentry work?" Can't get it out?"

"That's true!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded approvingly, and Zhang Haogu almost spoke to his heart, anyway, he didn't see much money.

"Let's not talk about this, Your Majesty, I have a quick way to get rich!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded fiercely: "Master, tell me!"

As the son of heaven, Zhu Youxiao should not be short of money, but his grandfather was too cheating and spent all the money, forcing Zhu Youxiao to do everything possible to make money.

Zhang Haogu said: "Let's say that the wind-up frog we made some time ago was transformed into a three-legged golden toad. This "toad" is an auspicious thing in mythology. The golden toad has three legs that are spiritual things and can get rich. It can spit out money. Legend has it that it was originally a goblin, but was subdued by Liu Haixian.

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "I know this!"

While talking, Zhang Haogu said slowly: "Then here comes the question, how much do you think this thing is worth, Your Majesty?!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly realized: "You mean, let me sell this clockwork frog?"

"Why is it a clockwork frog? It is a three-legged golden toad that has manifested its spirit, how can it be called a clockwork frog?" Zhang Haogu spread his hands and corrected: "It is a three-legged golden toad!"

"Yes, yes, the three-legged golden toad!" Zhu Youxiao also laughed.

And Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Let's take out one first and sell it for sale. How much is a moving three-legged golden toad worth?"

Zhu Youxiao became interested: "Can it be sold for a lot of money?"

Now, he is full of needs for money.

"can!"

Zhang Haogu nodded, and then, after thinking about it, he said slowly, "However, we still need to add a few parts and modify it a little bit!"

what part?
Zhu Youxiao was curious.

"Let this toad spit out money!" Zhang Haogu tapped on the head of the three-legged golden toad.
