I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 321 Zhu Di: Let's grab it together, if there are not enough people, call your father too!
In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Zhangui left the old man's bedroom with a sleepy face.

After planning to fight a few monkeys last night, the old man and a group of veterans chatted about offensive tactics with great interest, and even forced Zhu Zhangui not to let him go, saying that he wanted Zhu Zhangui to learn from veterans. experience.

Zhu Zhangui couldn't figure it out, what preparations are there for beating a group of monkeys?
With Daming's powerful force, not too many, the three legions can cross over directly. If the Shenji Battalion, which has been replaced with new equipment and reorganized into the second, third, and fourth legions, is transferred, both legions will have to No, these monkeys can be skinned and eaten.

This is not because of Zhu Zhangui's arrogance, but because of his strength. The military strength of the two parties is not at the same level at all.

In several monkey countries, the soldiers are not even fully equipped with armor, and there are all kinds of weapons, and they need combat effectiveness but no discipline. It is said that the army is actually more like a mob.

If the two sides really wanted to face each other 1 on 1, it would not be a problem for Ming soldiers to fight 10 of them.

More importantly, Zhu Zhangui also plans to send an airship to the battle this time.

After researching the weapon, it is natural not to put it in the warehouse to eat ashes. It should be pulled out to show off, so it must be pulled out to show its prestige.

Surrounded by small countries that have just surrendered, even if they are convincing, they are more or less cautious in their hearts. If they don't scare these monkeys with a chicken, they may have trouble in management in the future.

If you want to make a person obedient, you either have fists or you have money.

Does Daming have money?

Well, due to the construction of the railway, Daming is really not rich now, so if he wants to make these younger brothers who have just returned obedient and honest and loyal, Daming will show his fists and show his strength and bravery.

Since you want to show your fists, you have to take out the fiercest ones.

Zhu Zhangui had already thought about it. When attacking those monkeys, he would also bring these surrendered kings with him, let them see the strength of Daming, and also let them understand that taking refuge in Daming was the most important thing they did in their lives. a wise decision.

"Your Highness, that..."

Just as Zhu Zhangui walked out of the door, the guard monkey who had been squatting outside the door all night came up to him with a face full of embarrassment.

"What's wrong? I want to go to the latrine!"

Seeing the other party's embarrassed and tangled face, Zhu Zhangui made a funny joke.

Monkey scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's not that I want to go to the latrine, it's been a whole month, and I arrived three days ago, that subordinate forgot!"

As Zhu Zhangui's personal guard, in addition to protecting Zhu Zhangui's safety, he also has another mission, which is to remind Zhu Zhangui during the whole month.

Zhu Zhangui had so many things to deal with every day, and he didn't have the time to keep track of the date. When he was in the palace, he was reminded by Zhao Linger, and when he went out, he was reminded by these guards.

Knowing the reason, Zhu Zhangui stopped, turned his head and looked straight at the monkey, and lowered his head in shame.

As a guard, he forgot what his master said, which is a serious dereliction of duty.

That is to say, the guard in front of him has been with him for several years. When he was on the battlefield, he also tried his best to protect him. Otherwise, Zhu Zhangui would never spare him lightly if he had a normal relationship.

This is not a big deal, in the royal family, even the smallest things are big things, and for a monarch, nothing is small.

When Hu Yu was here before, the other party would handle everything Zhu Zhangui explained clearly, without any omissions or doubts.

So the monkey guy is indeed a bit sloppy.

"Get the ten army sticks yourself!"

Zhu Zhangui shook his head, said the punishment, and strode towards his room.

Hearing the sound of footsteps going away, the monkey let out a deep breath, and hurriedly followed.

Back to the resting room, the monkey quickly walked into the room and took several people to check up and down.

This is a daily routine, and it is also something he must do as a guard.

After all, this is not his territory, for the safety of his master, he must be on top of his precautions.

"Your Highness, no problem!"

After confirming the safety of the house, the people led by the monkey came out.

Zhu Zhangui nodded and strode into the room.

After Zhu Zhangui entered, the monkey quickly closed the door, pulled out the pistol at his waist, and blocked the door to guard the surroundings.

The other guards quickly dispersed, and stood side by side with the brothers who had been standing around the house long ago to form a human wall, blocking anyone who wanted to enter.

They are already used to these jobs, and they have to come here once a month, which is more punctual than women coming here.

The picture flashed in front of him, and Zhu Zhangui entered the familiar supermarket.

Glancing in the direction of the second floor, Zhu Zhangui sighed and walked towards the center screen on the first floor.

After regaining these small countries, Zhu Zhangui immediately came in with their national seals excitedly, wanting to see how many progress bars he could get in exchange.

As a result, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. The increase of several countries and India together has increased by 3%. The long progress bar has only moved a little bit, and it is only 15% at present. According to Zhu Zhangui’s estimation, I want to start the third layer, at least 3% is required.

From this, Zhu Zhangui came to the conclusion that what the supermarket really collects is the luck of each country, the present and the future, otherwise it is also a foreign country, why is there such a big gap.

Walking to the center screen, Zhu Zhangui casually clicked on the large words "Extractable" on it.

The items drawn on the first floor are not very attractive to him anymore. They are just those gadgets in life, and they explode once in a while, and they are also for a series of items, or some cross-age technological items.

Although these things are novel, their technological content is too high. With Daming's current research ability, he still can't understand these things.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

As the sound of the slot machine slowly stopped, a picture appeared in front of Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui, who was going to draw randomly and then went back to sleep, looked up at the picture above, his eyes widened instantly.

"Nimma, it exploded again!"

The picture shows an iron box, rectangular in shape, about the size of an army ammunition box.

If it's just an iron box, it's fine. As the prince of a country, Zhu Zhangui has never seen what kind of box.

The reason why this picture aroused his great surprise is that there is a long antenna on the box, and there is a button connected by a line beside it, and a headset worn on the head.

Although Zhu Zhangui has never served in the army, he still knows this thing in front of him. This thing has a very high rate of appearance in film and television, especially the movies about playing childhood, it is almost inevitable.

That's right, what Zhu Zhangui pulled out this time was the main communication tool radio station during World War I and World War II.

The name of the item is only two simple words of a radio station, and there is not much specific introduction. Below it is only marked with four models: large, medium, small, and super large.

Below the 4 models, there are some notes and introductions.

The voice communication distance of the small radio station is 5km, and the code communication distance is 20km.

The voice communication of the medium-sized radio station is 50km, and the code communication is 200km.

Voice communication of large radio station is 500km, code communication is 2000km
The voice communication distance of the super-large radio station is 5000km, and the code communication distance does not indicate the distance, but expresses a sentence with a smiling expression.

"Electricity is available wherever you can go."

(Virtual supermarket items, please do not link with reality!)

"Gudong!"

Looking at the introduction of the super-large radio station, Zhu Zhangui couldn't help swallowing.

I thought to myself, if this thing is installed, then I can talk to my fat dad here.

Damn, I'm already on the phone.

Zhu Zhangui never dreamed that he could get this thing.

The communication tool like the walkie-talkie in front of it was actually purely accidental. What I got was a set series. If I smoked it alone, it is estimated that Zhu Zhangui washed his hands 800 times, and he might not be able to get it.

The age of the two technologies is too far apart.

After so many years of groping about extracting items, Zhu Zhangui can see that the more advanced the technology, the more difficult it is to extract.

Of course, this does not include those foods. These foods do not have any technical content. As long as there are raw materials and the formula is known, they can be manufactured, it's just a matter of speed.

The difficulty mentioned by Zhu Zhangui refers to items with very high technological content, such as walkie-talkies and the loudspeakers he got last year.

Why in ancient times, the farther away from the capital, the weaker the influence of the court, and even many dynasties perished, and the common people thought they lived in that dynasty.

Is it because the court is incompetent and useless? Is it because the court has no capable people?
No, it is because of communication and traffic problems.

Even if an emperor has a great talent, he can't personally manage the towns and towns. He can only hand over these matters to the local officials.

In ancient times when communications depended on shouting and travel depended on walking, common people had never left their villages and towns in their entire lives. Ghosts knew who the emperor in power was. Even if he knew, it would be of no use. No matter how powerful you are, it's useless if you can't control them. Since you can't control them, the so-called fear doesn't exist.

This mentality is not limited to ordinary people, but also to local officials.

As the lowest-level officials in the court, most of them may never have seen the emperor in their entire lives, and they face their superiors every day.

Isn't it a joke to show allegiance like someone who hasn't even met, let alone talked?
It is precisely because of these reasons that the imperial power is not as strong as imagined in the minds of ordinary people and officials at the bottom.

If the emperor and a middle-level official stand in front of them, they fear the middle-level official even more than the emperor, and this is the fact.

Therefore, if the emperor wants to change this phenomenon, he has to do what Zhu Zhangui's previous life news reported, and when he has time, he will go down to the people to express his condolences, show his existence, and deter those low-level officials.

Maybe some people think this kind of thing is boring, but for the upper class, it's not even less important than a national event.

There were so many able men and strangers in ancient times, and the emperor was not an idiot, so they naturally knew the solution to this problem.

But what can I do if I know?
The emperor's travel is very cumbersome and troublesome. Even if he travels in simple clothes, there must be tens of thousands of people in various outfits.

Coupled with the problems of ancient roads and the inability to communicate when things happened in the country, the emperor dared not leave the capital at all.

Coupled with the backwardness of ancient means of transportation, it is not as simple as a day or two to go from one place to another.

Therefore, due to various reasons, even if the upper level knows the problems of the lower level, they can only stare blankly, and even compromise helplessly in the end.

As a latecomer, Zhu Zhangui was naturally unwilling to be reconciled to his order, and he couldn't even reach the townships and counties, so he knew that building railways and laying roads for the provinces would cost countless money and food, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on building and laying roads. .

The construction of railways and roads is not only beneficial to his generation, but also has infinite benefits for future generations.

So when the grandfather and grandson discussed it, they all decided that even if the royal family was poor, they would have to grit their teeth and complete the laying of the railway and road.

After having various roads, another problem faced the grandfather and grandson, and that was the communication problem.

The walkie-talkie is too expensive, and it is impossible to spread it across the country. What's more, the communication distance of this thing is not far, and the plain area is better. If it is in the mountainous area, the communication distance will be directly reduced by half. More importantly, charging is too troublesome. A battery won't last long, it's a tasteless existence.

But now that there is a radio station, this problem is easily solved.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the communication distance on the radio, and began to plan in his heart.

Super-large ones are placed in several important places in the capital, large ones are placed by the chief secretaries of each province, and medium-sized ones are bought in the counties below.

In this way, there will be a communication network across the country, and if there is any problem in various places, there is no need to rush to send a report 800 miles away, just send a telegram directly.

Thinking about the bright future, Zhu Zhangui happily reached out and tapped the screen, wanting to check the price.

The screen slowly turned over, and four pictures of radio stations, small, medium, large, and super large, appeared in front of him.

The small ones are the size of a schoolbag and are very light, and the medium ones are the same as the picture on the previous page, the size of an ammunition box.

The large size is a bit exaggerated, almost the size of a carriage.

As for the super large one, Zhu Zhangui's eyes stared round.

"This is not a radio station. This is bigger than a house."

Looking at the super-large radio station, Zhu Zhangui was shocked by its huge size, but then he thought of the terrifying communication distance of the other party, and Zhu Zhangui suddenly accepted it in his heart.

But when he saw the price noted later, Zhu Zhangui's body almost shook.

"Damn, this is even worse than robbery, you know!"

"It's all right for you to cheat money, is there anyone else who cheats you like this, even if I have mountains of gold and silver, I can't handle cheating like you!"

Looking at the 4 prices, Zhu Zhangui pointed at the screen and sprayed furiously.

He was really shocked by the price. As far as the above price is concerned, it can be said that it is the first time Zhu Zhangui has seen a scary figure since he got the supermarket.

Small radio, priced at 1000 taels, with a hand-operated generator, an additional 100 taels is required.

The price of a medium-sized radio station is 10 taels, and it is equipped with a pedal generator, which requires an additional price of 500 taels.

The price of a large radio station is 1000 million. If it is equipped with a small diesel generator, it will cost an additional 5000 taels.

The super-large radio station is priced at 1 million taels, and it is equipped with a super-large hybrid generator, which requires an additional price of 50 taels.

Nima, 1 million taels.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the numbers with blank eyes.

Now he finally understands how the old man felt when he learned that he had 1 million taels.

But the difference is that the old man was shocked and pleasantly surprised, while Zhu Zhangui was heartbroken and heartbroken at this moment.

Looking at the price on the screen, Zhu Zhangui began to snap his fingers.

"There were 17 capitals in the past, and 8 more were added later, making 25. Now there are 2365 counties across the country."

"Each one is matched with a larger one, 1 million x 000, that's 25 million."

"There are 2365 counties in the country, and each county is equipped with a medium-sized one, 2365×10, that is 2.365 million."

"In addition, the capital is equipped with a super-large one. The distance between Penglai and Beiju Luzhou is so far. It is also necessary to have a super-large one. Three is 3 million."

"Then there are various charging combinations, which also require a sum of money."

"2.5 million plus 2.365 million plus 3 million, plus the price of the charger..."

The moving fingers stopped, Zhu Zhangui didn't look at the screen, turned his head and walked outside the supermarket, talking to himself while walking.

"Actually, the 800-mile express is not bad. If there is a radio station, then the post stations in various places will be withdrawn. Didn't Li Zicheng rebel because he was robbed of his errand back then?"

"Yes, for the people of the world, for the postmen everywhere, and for the stability of Daming, it doesn't really matter whether you want the radio or not."

"Didn't you have a good time when there was no radio station? Tell me, don't you?"

Walking slowly to the entrance of the supermarket, Zhu Zhangui stopped muttering, turned his head to glance at the screen, and then jumped up on the ground with his head in his arms.

"Damn, I want money, I want money, I want money!"

"Your Highness, are you alright!"

As the sun rose in the morning, the monkey who originally thought that Zhu Zhangui was going to sleep late, looked at Zhu Zhangui who came out of the house with a dazed look and kept mumbling about money, so he couldn't help asking in a low voice One sentence.

"Do you have money?"

Zhu Zhangui turned to look at the monkey.

The monkey was stunned for a moment, and without further ado, he untied the money bag from his waist and handed it to Zhu Zhangui.

"I still have a few silver coins here, Your Highness, you can take them at any time."

Zhu Zhangui looked at the purse handed in front of him, then at the other guards who were preparing to untie the purse, sighed and shook his head, then turned to the palace where the old man was resting, leaving only the man holding the money Bags, monkeys and guards looking at each other.

Zhu Zhangui's mind is full of money now, he is thinking now.How can I get 8 million taels of silver.

Thinking of that terrifying number, Zhu Zhangui couldn't help but twitched again.

"What's wrong with the brat? What stimulated you."

When Zhu Zhangui arrived at the palace where the old man was resting, the old man was happily eating breakfast.

The old man, who was holding a bowl of porridge and eating steamed buns, saw his grandson coming, so he waved for Zhu Zhangui to eat with him.

But as Zhu Zhangui walked in, he found something was wrong with his grandson's expression.

This is his hope, and it is Daming's hope for the future, so nothing can happen.

Worried about Zhu Zhangui's irritation, the old man threw away the buns and bowls in his hands, rushed up, grabbed Zhu Zhangui, and kept patting and stroking his forehead.

"Grandpa, do you have money?"

Looking at the anxious old man in front of him, Zhu Zhangui thought that the old man should have some private money after being emperor for so many years, so he asked subconsciously.

"How much do you want, grandpa, see if you can get it together."

When the elder grandson asked for money, the old man didn't even hesitate and agreed directly.

Seeing that the old man was so bold, Zhu Zhangui's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the old man's hand.

"That's great, my grandson doesn't want much, it's just a small [-] million taels of silver."

The old man who just heard that Zhu Zhangui didn't want much, and was happy in his heart, was so shocked by the number Zhu Zhangui said later that his eyes rounded.

"Not much, just a small 8 million taels, that's all!"

The old man looked at his grandson like a fool.

Did the kid have some misunderstanding about his wealth?Or maybe this kid is crazy about money.

8 million taels of silver, the ancestors of their old Zhu family have never seen so much money in their 80s, are you sure you are not talking about copper coins?
Looking at the bewildered eyes of the old man, Zhu Zhangui pulled him into the house and closed the door.

"Grandpa, I have a new batch of goods, but the price the other party asks is relatively high."

"What new product is worth [-] million taels of silver, is he crazy about money? This is no longer a robbery. He wants to empty our Daming!"

Hearing that the other party wanted the money, the old man slapped the table and roared angrily.

His mother's blackmail was on Zhu Di's head, that is, he couldn't catch this bastard. If this bastard appeared in front of him, a thousand cuts to death would be the lightest punishment.

Damn, his surname Zhu Di is not a pig, this is really fucking killing people like pigs.

He, Zhu Di, thought that his heart was dark enough, but today he realized that, compared with that bastard opposite, he, Zhu Di, was even as close as Kong Shengren.

"Grandpa, don't worry, just listen to what I have to say. After listening, you will find that the 8 million taels of silver are really not expensive."

Seeing that the old man started a fire, Zhu Zhangui hurriedly comforted him.

"fart!"

As soon as he heard his grandson speak for the other party, the old man slapped the table angrily and roared angrily.

"You little bastard, have you been fooled by the other party?"

Before Zhu Zhangui could explain again, the old man stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Zhangui on the forehead, hating him and said: "Eight hundred million taels of silver, our old Zhu family's eighteen generations have never seen so much money, what is so valuable, The flat peaches of the Queen Mother? The throne of the Jade Emperor?"

"It's really unreasonable. I found out that the guy opposite is a greedy ghost. In the beginning, you bought things that cost a few taels, tens of taels, or hundreds of taels. Although these things are expensive, we can still afford them by biting our teeth. "

"But this damn guy is getting more and more black-hearted. He dares to sell us 20 yuan for a broken iron shell with a few broken wheels. It's really like money is like stone lumps all over the mountains and plains."

"Damn it, at the original price, I feel uncomfortable, but I think it's still useful, so I'll buy it."

"It turned out to be a good thing this time. This guy saw that we were taken advantage of, and even quoted this price. Does he not know how to count? Do you know how many things can be bought with this money? If all of them are exchanged for silver, they can be piled up into a mountain. It’s more than enough to make a coffin into gold, and it’s more than enough to house eighteen generations of their ancestors, it’s so fucking unreasonable!”

The more the old man talked, the more angry he became, and finally he kicked over the table in front of him. All kinds of breakfasts on it were overturned all over the floor.

Zhu Zhangui didn't say a word, allowing the old man to vent out the depression in his heart.

After a while, the old man, who kept turning around in the room and panting heavily, sat down in front of Zhu Zhangui.

"Let's talk about it, I'm quite curious, what on earth can make that guy offer such an unscrupulous price."

Zhu Zhangui grinned.

Having been with the old man for so many years, he has already figured out the old man's temper. When he is angry, he will yell at people and even kill people, but he will definitely do what needs to be done.

It's like Yang Shiqi back then, who said all the old man's anger, no matter what he said today, he still dealt with the matter handed over by the other party later.

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the old man.

The old man didn't speak, he glanced at Zhu Zhangui, took the paper and began to observe it carefully.

Zhu Zhangui has clearly written about the function of the telegraph and its future impact on Ming Dynasty.

As an old man who is often with Zhu Zhangui, he often listens to Zhu Zhangui's stories about his soul wandering into another world, so he has a certain understanding of some new things in his heart.

There were not many words on the paper, but the old man looked at it for a long time, and finally he folded the drawing and put it on the candle next to him to light it.

"Is there no room for bargaining?"

Looking at the burning paper, the old man struggled for a long time, and finally compromised.

The attraction of this thing to him is too great. Although he is not the emperor now, the heart of that country is still beating all the time.

I have to admit that the old man is really interested in this thing, and Zhu Zhangui has already made it clear above.

Now that Daming's trains and various roads are being laid, the transportation capacity in the future will be greatly enhanced. If it is equipped with various radio stations, Daming's ability to control the place is absolutely unprecedented.

The old man who has been the emperor for most of his life has worried more than once about the lack of influence of the imperial court in the local area.

Now that something to solve this problem appeared in front of him, the old man would be lying if he said he wasn't tempted.

But the problem was that he couldn't accept the price, so he could only tentatively ask if he could bargain.

Zhu Zhangui spread his hands helplessly.

"Grandpa's family is the seller, we are the buyer, and the other party is the exclusive seller, we can't compare if we want to shop around."

"It's not that I haven't negotiated the price with him, but he said back and forth, don't take it if you can't afford it."

"What a fucking profiteer, what your great-grandfather said is indeed true, none of those businessmen has a conscience, they are blind to money, and forget righteousness when they see profit, what a **** bastard!"

The old man pointed at the sky and cursed for a while, then lowered his head and muttered.

The imperial court must have run out of money. In order to repair railways and roads, and replenish training equipment for recruits, the imperial court was almost stripped.

If the imperial court had so much money, their grandfather and grandson would not rush out to earn this hard work.

The money in the bank cannot be moved, it is the foundation of Ming Dynasty, if it is moved, it will undoubtedly dig its own grave.

Like the recruitment in various places, thinking of the way officials in various places often cry poor, the old man gritted his teeth with hatred.

After thinking for a long time, he really couldn't think of where to get the money, so the old man looked up at Zhu Zhangui expectantly.

"How did you get that money back then?"

The meaning of the old man's words is, how did you get so much money during the few years you went out?
Zhu Zhangui touched his nose with his hand, "Didn't Zhang Xuan make it clear?"

"Buy by force, buy by force, rob houses, plunder by force, anyway, every means I made money in those years would have my head chopped off in Daming."

The old man waved his hand, "These are not important, you just need to say, I will let you go, and suppress the voice of opposition to the court for you, can you get this [-] million taels of silver!"

Zhu Zhangui suddenly looked up at the old man, "You mean, I will continue to grab it!"

The old man shook his head, pointed at Zhu Zhangui and then at himself.

"It's not you, but we're going to grab it together. If necessary, we can call your father over."

"If we don't have enough ships, we will transfer ships from China. If we don't have enough soldiers, we will transfer troops from China. Whoever you want to lead the troops, you can choose whatever you want in the entire Ming Dynasty, even if I personally go there."

"I have only one task for you, two years, two years, you must be sure and affirmative, and make up enough for this [-] million taels of silver!"

Zhu Zhangui looked at the old man with a smile when he heard the words, "Grandpa, if we rob him, it will be difficult for those kings to really surrender."

The old man sneered, "I'm planning to rob it, and I'm so sincere. If people kill all the land, it's still ours."

"Little brat, let me tell you, this man is just a weed in the wild, and the more you cut it, the more vigorous it will be!"

A few kings who had just surrendered in a certain place suddenly felt a sense of joy in their hearts, as well as an inexplicable feeling of surviving after the catastrophe.
