Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 234 Three major industries, endless life!Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked!Alchemists actually have such a magical effect!

"It stinks, it stinks."

Li Xiao sent someone to buy some stinky tofu from a shop outside, and when Zhu Ningyun came back, he smelled stinky feet from afar.

When two servings of stinky tofu were served, the taste became more intense.

Zhu Ningyun frowned slightly, and said angrily, "Xiaolang, this smell is almost the same as your sweaty feet."

Li Xiao laughed and said, "What's wrong, do you despise me, my husband?"

Zhu Ningyun sneered and joked: "I'm used to the smell, now I don't smell your smell, I can't sleep well."

Li Xiao: "."

Since when did you become so naughty?

Seeing Ningyun being so cheerful, Li Xiao sighed, ten years ago, this girl didn't dare to tell him anything, for fear that she would be unhappy, but now she is getting more and more presumptuous.
Li Xiao looked at his airtight boots again, and thought that if there was a chance, he must develop breathable mesh shoes.

Zhu Ningyun's eyes fell on the stinky tofu, and said: "This is the stinky tofu that has been making a lot of noise in the past two days. Because of this thing, you quarreled with a group of Confucian scholars?"

"Yeah." Li Xiao nodded: "That Confucian scholar really doesn't know what is good or bad, and he doesn't know how to taste it, so he insults me, husband, can I get used to it?"

"Let me try it." Zhu Ningyun picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece.

"Aren't you afraid of smell?" Li Xiao laughed.

Zhu Ningyun said: "I'm not even afraid of your smelly feet, why are you afraid of this?"

Li Xiao said helplessly: "Look at what you said, I am completely embarrassed."

Zhu Ningyun chuckled, then put the stinky tofu into her cherry mouth, chewed it, her eyes lit up, and said: "It's really good, it smells good and tastes good, just like your feet, it makes people like it."

Li Xiao supported his forehead: "Can we not mention the feet?"

Zhu Ningyun bit another piece, said with a smirk, "No."

Li Xiao: "."

At this time, there was movement outside the door.

"See the Supreme Emperor, see the Holy Majesty, see the Queen!"

The maids outside the door suddenly saw the saint coming up, and they all knelt on the ground and bowed down.

This is the card of the Duke's Mansion, the Supreme Emperor and the Holy One are here in person!
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first!
"This smell, I'm afraid it's the smell of stinky tofu?"

Zhu Di laughed and said, several people walked in.

"I have seen the emperor's grandfather, my lord, and the empress."

Li Xiao and Ning Yun hurriedly stood up to greet them.

"We don't have to be polite here, we treat it as our own."

Zhu Yuanzhang walked over with a cane, and first glanced at Li Xiao, "You boy, you don't come to see us these days, have you forgotten us?"

Li Xiao hastily cupped his hands: "Grandfather, grandson-in-law, how dare you, it's delayed because of busy dragon boating these few days."

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily: "Don't think we don't know, you are just rowing dragon boats as a commoner."

Li Xiao explained with a smile: "Nothing can be hidden from the eyes of your grandfather, the grandson-in-law wants to see if the city of Beiping can organize such a big event by itself if he is not here."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, sat down on his own, and looked at the stinky tofu, "Is this the stinky tofu that the group of Confucian scholars talked about?"

Zhu Di also came over and sat aside, "It's probably this stuff."

"Grandfather, Holy Majesty, you have a taste."

Li Xiao hurriedly took the chopsticks and handed them over one by one.

After a while.

Their eyes lit up after tasting it, and they felt that there was something in this stinky tofu.

"Yes, the taste is really good, it smells bad and tastes good."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Li Xiao, you are really good at this kind of thing. We heard that many people have already learned this stinky tofu. There are more and more ways for ordinary people to make a living."

Zhu Di nodded: "That's right, most people don't farm now. The more ways to make a living, the better. Li Xiao, you've done a good job!"

"Thank you grandpa, father-in-law for your compliment."

Li Xiao smiled modestly: "In Beiping, the imperial court took the people's land. Li Xiao didn't dare to neglect it for a moment. The value of the land has already been produced. It only needs more service industries and faster flow of money. Can live better."

"It's true in Peking, but we haven't figured it out yet."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and asked, "What's the reason for this? Tell us about it."

For a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di have watched Beiping's taxes getting higher and higher, and the people's lives are getting better and better, with food to eat and clothes to wear.

The salaries of the officials, including the imperial court, are also increasing day by day, and the salaries of the whole of Beiping are increasing.

These are all changes brought about by the reform, but they did not understand the principles.

The reason why they dared to ask Li Xiao to do it was because Li Xiao had put before their eyes the grand feats of Beiping's governance, and they dared to let Li Xiao do it drastically only with pearls and jade in front of them.

"Good grandfather."

Li Xiao waved his hand and said, "Come here, bring your pen and ink."

Soon, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were on the table.

Li Xiao drew three circles in sequence, presenting a triangular interlacing.

Li Xiao was not in a hurry to explain, but said with a smile: "Grandfather, Your Majesty, Li Xiao first asks you a question, why has the world always been divided and reunited for thousands of years, and dynasties have always been replaced?"

There are two people in front of me, one is the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other is the current emperor Zhu Di. If the two shake, the world will shake.

Only Li Xiao dared to speak out and questioned these two people.

Zhu Yuanzhang said without hesitation: "We have the right to speak about this. We brought down the Great Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the people were in dire straits, and the common people had no food to eat, so they had to raise their heads to revolt! In the final analysis, they just couldn't eat enough and couldn't survive. Now, once the dynasty makes the people unable to survive, there is only one way to be overthrown."

"That's right." Li Xiao said, "Grandfather, tell me, why can't the common people survive?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Because the land is in the hands of landlords and dignitaries, if everyone has land, how can people starve to death?"

"The emperor is wise, that's it!"

Li Xiao explained: "Since the Han Dynasty, land taxes have been collected, but land is allowed to be bought and sold freely. Selling land and selling land is purely a trade relationship. Therefore, under free trading, landlords are formed by economic conditions. It is precisely because of private ownership of land that makes The poor have no place to stand.

The common people still have to do hard labor, and there will be some troubles, or three illnesses and two pains will exhaust the family wealth, or in an average of three years, there will always be a famine year, the savings will be exhausted, and the land will have to be sold.

This land is concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.

At the end of the dynasty, this phenomenon became more serious, so the common people could not survive, and the dynasty should have ended. "

Zhu Di was startled, and after careful consideration in his mind, it seemed that this was indeed the case. Li Xiao could see it so thoroughly!

Zhu Yuanzhang murmured: "So this change of dynasty left a hidden danger in the Han Dynasty, and it continues to this day? Is this why you nationalized the land?"

Li Xiao nodded, "That's right."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "It makes sense."

"Grandfather, you often say that everyone says agriculture is the foundation of food and clothing, and that agriculture is the foundation of the country. This is really true!"

Li Xiao praised it first, and then said: People need to eat, and the development of a country cannot do without agriculture, but relying on agriculture alone is a bit weak. "

Li Xiao smiled slightly, pointed to the three circles, and explained: "Grandpa, look, these three circles represent three industries and the law of economic operation. Look at this triangle, is it more stable?"

Zhu Yuanzhang wondered: "Triangle is indeed the most stable shape. What are the three industries?"

Li Xiao pointed to the circle at the top, and said: "This first circle, Li Xiao named it the first industry, the most important industry in the world is the first, it is the foundation of the country and cannot be shaken. The first industry is based on the development, and the other two industries are too weak, which makes the triangle unstable. It should be developed in a balanced way. But there are basic conditions to develop the other two industries.”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What conditions?"

Li Xiao said with a smile: "In fact, we have already reached it, that is, the agricultural output has greatly increased. The annual output of the land can be enough for the world to eat for three years. When we are full, we are full of warmth and lust. Only when we are full is the foundation of everything, otherwise everything is empty talk." .”

"So that's how it is." Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he said, "Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, plus high-yield rice seeds, and concentrated land cultivation have indeed increased the grain production by three times."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled gratifiedly: "Okay, it seems that our Daming has agreed to the first condition, so what are the remaining two industries?"

Li Xiao said firmly: "As long as the two remaining industries are supported, the country will be extremely rich and will not decline over the years, and the dynasty will never change from now on!"

Hearing this, several people present took a breath.

Especially for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the dynasties will never change, breaking the situation that has been united for thousands of years must be divided, and divided for a long time must be united, that is too shocking!
If it can be achieved, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty be immortal for thousands of years?

"Say it!" the two said in unison.

Li Xiao nodded slightly, pointed to the second circle, and said, "The primary industry is agriculture, which feeds the world, and the secondary industry is called industry."

Zhu Di said, "Industry is the factories you opened in Beiping, my son-in-law, right?"

Li Xiao smiled and said: "That's right, when you are full and warm, you can think of lust. You can think of lust when you are full first and then warm. Agriculture solves the problem of food, and industry is to meet daily needs. Those textile factories, iron ore factories, and medicines that make essential oils Factories, etc., are all to meet daily needs, and at the same time, solve the problem of ordinary people eating.”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's true. There are 30 people living in just one chemical fertilizer factory, and each person can earn [-] taels of silver a year. Even if there is no land to grow, it is enough for a family to eat and wear. "

Zhu Dixie said: "Father, you have overlooked one point. This industry can feed back agriculture. For example, this fertilizer factory produces fertilizers that can increase the yield of the land, and the money earned by the land into food will eventually flow to the people. hands."

"That's right!" Li Xiao took out a pen, and drew from the center point of the first circle to the center point of the second circle, "This is to complement each other and benefit from each other."

He then drew from the center point of the second circle to the center point of the third circle, "Finally flowed to the third industry, and then returned to the first industry!"

As he spoke, Li Xiao drew from the center of the third circle to the center of the first circle, forming a triangle: "Life is endless, and the cycle is endless. This is the most stable structure, enough for the Ming Dynasty, Will never fail!"

The voice fell.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di gasped and stared at the triangle.

It seems that this triangle is Daming's protective talisman.

It is easy to conquer the country, but it is difficult to defend the country!
As an emperor, what do you want to see most in your heart?
That is, dynasties will no longer change, and the world will no longer change hands.

After a while, Zhu Dinan murmured: "Be full first, then warm up, and then think about lust, son-in-law, is the so-called third property you are talking about a brothel?"

"The brothel is only part of it."

Li Xiao explained with a smile: "The tertiary industry is called the service industry. In fact, it has existed since ancient times. It was the most developed in the Tang and Song dynasties. The more developed the service industry, the more prosperous the economy. In fact, your grandfather Realized that."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You mean, the restaurant I funded to build and the blind man's massage?"

During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang invested in the construction of restaurants and massages for the blind, which filled the treasury.

Li Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, if you have enough food and clothing, you want to pursue a better quality of life. Markets, shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, culture, education, transportation, and transportation are all types of tertiary industries.

For example, the family spends extravagantly, going to the next restaurant, going to drink a little wine, and find a little sister to massage and wash their feet when they are tired from work.

When people earn money, they should enjoy it.

The tertiary industry can promote the employment of more people, allowing money to flow continuously, and everyone can get what they need, so that there will be endless money.

The tertiary industry represents people's better yearning and unknown exploration. When it is no longer a problem to eat and wear warm clothes, people are willing to spend money on the tertiary industry. "

In the future, the more developed the economy, the higher the proportion of the tertiary industry.

The higher the proportion of the tertiary industry, it means that the first two industries will not be too bad.

At this time, the house was silent.

Everyone was stunned by Li Xiao's remarks on the tertiary industry.

In the previous dynasty, because there was only agriculture, the people could only rely on the land for food.

Therefore, once the land is merged, the people will not be able to survive, and they can only rebel and redistribute land resources.

But now, land is not the only industry. People can farm land, work as workers, pull rickshaws, make furniture, and teach.
"Tertiary Industry."

After a while, Empress Xu said happily: "It turns out that this is the case. Now there are many industries that have never appeared in Beiping City, and the money is constantly circulating, but more and more."

Zhu Di also nodded and said: "Because there is a secondary industry in Beiping, the efficiency is improved and the supplies are more abundant. Many merchants have tried to sell the fresh goods in Beiping to other places. The business of this bodyguard agency is getting better and better. There are more than 20 escort agencies in China, and according to Li Xiao, these escort agencies are the service industry of the tertiary industry, because the birth of the second industry feeds back the second industry!"

In ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient, and there were few people. Bandits and robbers were often found along the road.

Escorts came into being, and they had existed for a long time, but they were not as prosperous as they are now. In short, all walks of life in the tertiary industry have developed.

Zhu Yuanzhang worried: "The things from Peking have gone to other places, will they impact the foreign market?"

Li Xiao smiled and said: "Yes, it will bring a big impact and disrupt the market, so we have to open the sea ban, open border trade, and make money from outsiders."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "I see, haha, you taught us a good lesson today and benefited a lot, but the border trade you mentioned is to sell our good things to those Tartars?"

Li Xiaodao: "The ironware and silk we can easily produce can be exchanged for horses, cattle and sheep, which is profitable. At that time, tariffs will be set up, which will not only prevent the impact of foreign goods on the local market, but also fill the treasury. "

"Tariffs are a good idea, though."

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled and said: "Kaihai can understand, but if you sell salt and iron to the Tartars in the north, they will deal with us in turn."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Father, this point. My son has already considered it. When I return to the palace, my son will explain it to you in detail."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

This is the difference in the concept of their father and son.

During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards Bei Yuan was to refuse to trade and to focus on defense.

In the Yongle period, Zhu Di believed that the Oala, Tatar, Wuliangha and other large tribes could not be unified, so they could not pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

Opening up trade with the weaker side will prevent the weaker side from being annexed, balance the forces, and make it impossible to unify. When you have free hands, you will deal with them.

It cannot be said who is right and who is wrong, each has advantages and disadvantages.

But it is a pity that Zhu Di spent his whole life conquering Mobei five times, but in the end he failed to destroy these nomadic peoples.

In fact, it was just as Zhu Di thought.

The unification of these tribes really caused the Ming Dynasty a headache.

After Zhu Di died, Mahamu completed the feat of unifying the tribes and attacked Daming.

If Yu Qian hadn't helped the building and Yu Jiangqing had stood up and completed the defense of Beijing, Daming would have been wiped out.

There are good and bad ways for the emperor to guard the country.

The advantage is that the heavy border troops do not need to be handed over to the vassals, which reduces the occurrence of rebellions.

The heavy army can not only defend the emperor, but also guard the gate at the feet of the emperor. If the gate is guarded, the people in the interior will not be harassed by foreign enemies.

You know, once these Tartars cross the Great Wall, they will burn, kill, loot, do all kinds of evil, ride fast horses, hold machetes, come and go like the wind, a few people can slaughter a village, and the sufferers are innocent people.

The downside is that the capital with concentrated power in the center faces the enemy directly. Once it falls, the dynasty will directly fall into the hands of others.

"The theory of these three industries is strange, but it is indeed useful, as evidenced by the prosperity of Beiping." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a vague way.

Zhu Di also roughly understood, nodded and said: "We are right to support Li Xiao's reform, this kid has ink in his stomach, haha"

In fact, Zhu Di knew that Li Xiao was Su Hui's man, and he thought that if Li Xiao dared to do it, these must be the result of future success.

Zhu Yuanzhang took another sip of stinky tofu, and suddenly realized that he came here with a purpose today, looked at Zhu Di and said, "Fourth, look, we've forgotten the business."

Zhu Di came back to his senses and looked at Li Xiao, "Son-in-law, you said a few days ago that alchemists are very useful. What's the use? Today I came here with your imperial grandfather specially."

"I knew you two didn't just come here to eat tofu."

Li Xiao smiled and led the way: "Please follow Li Xiao, the research of this alchemist is of great benefit to the secondary industry. Industry is the foundation of a great country, the foundation of economic development, and can make Ming Dynasty stand proudly on top of the world. !"

Hearing this, everyone was amazed that alchemists have such abilities?
"Okay! We are all looking forward to it."

Zhu Yuanzhang got up hurriedly and walked over, followed by Zhu Di and others.

Everyone walked towards the House of Science in the Duke's Mansion.

Inside a room in the House of Science.

The people in this group of rooms were all dressed in white coats.

Fits the image of the future scientist
This is because Li Xiao specially unified the clothes for them. After all, this group of people wore black or yellow Taoist robes before, and they looked a bit like swindlers.

After unifying the clothes now, it feels very good and professional.

At this time, Song Yingxing was facing the blackboard, teaching all the alchemists.

He found that Li Xiao was really right to invite alchemists.

Because these strange chemical and physical phenomena are learned by ordinary people, it is difficult to teach them. Ordinary people will think they have encountered a miracle, yell, and they don't understand it at all.

But these alchemists are different. Before they learned chemistry and physics, they knew various methods to purify elements from various substances, such as gold, silver, mercury, saltpeter, arsenic, and mercury.
For example, many alchemists will mix saltpeter and realgar to extract arsenic oxide, then use lard and arsenic oxide to obtain elemental arsenic, and then use elemental arsenic and turpentine to practice again to obtain pure arsenic.

That's right, these alchemists have been able to use their own methods to extract a single element from the material species in nature.

They were actually the first chemists, but in a wrong way.

These alchemists used arsenic as alchemy, which is poisonous if eaten.

But if it is used to add 5% arsenic to steel, it can produce lighter and harder alloy steel materials, semiconductors, and pesticides
This is just one of them, each of these alchemists has their own exclusive secret recipe, and can propose various elements.

But now Song Yingxing can directly tell them what these elements are, what their functions are, the fusion between molecules, and the molecular formula through chemistry books.
Song Yingxing also used Li Xiao's microscope to let these alchemists see the world of microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, etc., which surprised them.

In short, these alchemists can quickly learn chemistry and physics.

In fact, people who can practice alchemy are not stupid, they will often do experiments on their own, and analyze various fusion reactions
Generally speaking, alchemists play in their own way, and there are factions and the like.

When Li Xiao summoned all the alchemists to the Duke's Mansion, this group of like-minded people, together with Song Yingxing, who used books to teach, often did various interesting experiments together to understand the laws of chemistry and physics.

This group of alchemists can quickly learn the experiments and understand some of the principles. They are so happy that they can't wait to announce to the world that they are not liars.

"The Supreme Emperor is here! The Holy Majesty is here!"

Following the eunuch's shout, all the alchemists in the room were stunned. When they got up, they saw two masters in dragon robes standing at the door.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Song Yingxing and all the alchemists bowed down together.

Song Yingxing was overwhelmed with emotion, he never expected to see Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle in his lifetime.

But the alchemists became anxious. They heard that they were going to be masters and teach students, and their salaries were very high.

But the question is, will the emperor agree to these unpopular people?
The fate of this group of alchemists is like this, it depends on their fate.

When the emperor believed in the art of longevity, they lived a good life, eating delicious food and drinking spicy food.

When the emperor doesn't believe it, he can only fool the rich in the open, or he will be severely punished.

And the current emperor is obviously the kind who doesn't believe in longevity.

They were worried whether they would be clicked by these two people wearing dragon robes.
"What skills do you have, show me your hands."

At this time, Zhu Di came in and said, "If there is nothing outstanding, you will know the consequences."

Song Yingxing hastily cupped his hands and said: "Please also invite the Supreme Emperor, the Holy Majesty will move to the experimental room."

"Lead the way." Zhu Di said calmly with his hands behind his back.

"Yes." Song Yingxing cupped his hands, and then brought Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di to the experimental room, and the group of alchemists followed.

In this experimental room, there are various beakers, containers, bottles and cans for experiments, as well as various experimental devices.

Song Yingxing clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, first show you the power of thunder, a light bulb that can replace candles, okay?"

Zhu Di didn't quite understand, so he asked, "The power of thunder?"

Song Yingxing smiled slightly, "It's the lightning in the sky, you can use it for yourself."

Hearing this, Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, thinking that they must be liars. Isn't it nonsense that the electricity in the sky can be controlled by them?
"Your Majesty just watch."

Seeing that the two did not believe it, Song Yingxing waved his hand and ordered an alchemist: "Le Can, go and demonstrate the principle of friction power generation and resistance heating, and let your majesty have a look."

A young alchemist came out, cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

Afterwards, other alchemists immediately prepared the newly developed tungsten wire. The tungsten wire was covered with a glass lampshade, which was obviously the result of their many improvements.

The alchemist walked up to the bicycle and started pedaling wildly.

buzzing-

Bicycle wheels generate electricity by friction, and the electricity generated enters the battery, which contains elements such as mercury, mercury, cadmium, chromium, carbon, etc., which are extracted by these alchemists and manufactured according to the principles in the book.

Soon, after the battery is fully charged.

It is transmitted to the light bulb through the wire.

Suddenly, the dark room with the bed curtain closed was suddenly lit up!
The light bulb turned on, dazzling like a little sun.

The yellow light illuminates the whole room brightly! !

The effect of a light bulb is enough to match the light of dozens of candles.

The shape of the light bulb is reflected in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, shining brightly!

Amazing, amazing!
Both Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang were shocked.

I thought this group of alchemists could only make alchemy to harm people.

Now it seems that there is still such a thing.
This Li Xiao is really no nonsense, the alchemist really has a magical effect!

A small light bulb that emits a bright light? ?
