Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Zhu Yuanzhang touched his chin, thoughtfully.

Chu Ze immediately answered: "Your Majesty, there is a saying that 'if you want to get rich, build roads first'. Only with roads can materials flow in and out. And don't we want to build some tourist attractions? Everyone is going out to play. , naturally want to be relaxed and convenient. Sitting in a carriage for several days is shaking, and people are falling apart. Where can I still have the mood to have fun? But riding a train is different. This thing is very stable and fast. When the tourists arrive, You can also play to your heart's content.

This is one of them.

Let’s talk about the second one.

Let's take the example of transporting goods. Let's use a carriage and set it to transport ten stones at a time. If we have one hundred stones of grain, it will take ten carriages or ten transports to deliver it. But if we use the train like this, transporting a hundred stones at a time is considered a small amount. As long as the power is enough, we can even transport a thousand stones. As transportation capacity becomes stronger, the circulation speed of goods in various places will also increase. How could the local economy remain unchanged? If there is really no change, then the local officials should change.

The third thing is that we can turn the train into a sightseeing car. We divide the layout of the train into first class, second class and general areas. The first-class paid services are higher, and the corresponding charges are also higher, and the second-class services are the second, and the ordinary ones carry ordinary people. In this way, isn't it another income? "

After saying that, Chu Ze glanced at Master Hu Bu and said: "Master Shangshu, even if you are doing business, you know that you have to invest capital first. You don't invest anything, just expect money to grow in the ground?"

"Pfft."

Several laughters suddenly sounded in the hall.

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.

He no longer cared about maintaining his dignity. He turned his head and glared at Chu Ze fiercely.

"Your Majesty said it nicely, but you have to have the capital to do business, right? We don't even have the capital now, so let's ask Prince Jishouyanwun how we should do this business." As if he was afraid that Chu Ze wouldn't believe it. , the Minister of Revenue also took out an account book, opened it, and counted the expenditures during this period, as well as the recent balance in the treasury.

At the end of the sentence, Naosheng Tobe almost burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't try my best, it's just that we are really powerless."

He, the head of the Ministry of Accounts, spends every day just for this money, wishing he could break one person's penny into two petals.

After hearing this, Chu Ze was also surprised.

As Lord Hubu said, the money in the treasury has indeed bottomed out.

But what about the silver?

Chu Ze looked at Mr. Tobe suspiciously and said quietly: "We remember that there are gold mines in Ryukyu, and they are transporting gold to the mainland every month, right?"

It's okay if Chu Ze doesn't say this.

When he mentioned it, Lord Tobe became angry again.

Lord Hube suddenly turned his head around, blushing and staring at Chu Ze, wishing he could just curse a few words.

Chu Ze only saw him sneer, and then said: "I'm afraid the prince doesn't know how much money he spent on those things he got."

Whether it's a factory or a mine.

Or those inventions made.

All require money.

Every day, Mr. Tobe feels sad when he sees the money being spent like water.

Chu Ze: "All used up?"

"Then do you want us to reconcile the accounts for the prince?" Mr. Hube was furious, and his voice was a bit sharp.

Chu Ze waved his hands repeatedly and said with a dry smile: "No, no, no."

He knew that the stuff he got was expensive.

But he knew there was such a fever.

Hmm...it seems like we need to find a way to do this.

In the end, the matter was shelved.

The reason lies with the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that under such circumstances, because he did not shelve the train plan, he was afraid that the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance would make a scene where blood would be splashed on the spot.

And Lord Tobe is right.

How can we develop this train if we have no money?

It’s better to let it go first and wait until you have money.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but glance at the drawings, then looked away. After a moment, he couldn't help but take another look.

Needless to say, this train plan made him excited just by hearing it.

This time the great dynasty is over.

In the end, nothing was agreed upon. But when the dynasty was dismissed, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped Chu Ze: "Wait a minute, we have something to tell you."

Chu Ze's steps that he had already raised were silently taken back.

All the ministers left, and only Zhu Yuanzhang, father and son Chu Ze were left in the huge palace.

Without outsiders, Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to put on airs.

He walked down the jade steps of the dragon chair, walked up to Chu Ze, and asked, "Is this train really as good as you say?"

"Of course, do we dare to take out the bad things?" Chu Ze said.

"What about the silver?" Zhu Biao stood up and walked over, his voice was very gentle, "What do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at him.

Chu Ze was silent for a moment.

Silver, silver...

How to do it?

Chu Ze couldn't think of a way for a while.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang did not force himself.

He said: "Well, you go back and think about it first and come up with some practical solutions. As soon as the money problem is solved, we will start building the train immediately."

"It would be better if you could make another model of the train during this time."

With the appearance of a train, Zhu Yuanzhang could better convince his courtiers.

He could see clearly just now.

Not having money is just one of them.

The most important thing is my distrust of trains.

They didn't believe the train would be this good.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't really believe it either.

If Chu Ze's origin hadn't added some buffs to him, Zhu Yuanzhang's first reaction would have been suspicion when he saw such a strange thing.

But if he makes the model and lets everyone see it with their own eyes, everyone will definitely not be so repulsive anymore.

Chu Ze listened and said "Yeah".

After leaving the Jinluan Palace, Chu Ze frowned.

Money is something that has been embarrassing for people since ancient times.

From the princes and nobles to the common people, everyone has money in their eyes.

Chu Ze is also one of them.

On the way back home, there were only two words in his mind - make money.

But what to do?

Before he could figure out the reason, Zhao Si's voice came from outside the carriage: "Master, we've arrived."

Chu Ze jumped off the carriage and walked straight inside.

After walking a short distance, the housekeeper came up to him.

"Master, you are finally back. Mr. Liu came early in the morning and is still waiting for you in the hall."

Hearing this, Chu Ze stopped in his tracks.

"Ah, yes, before we went to court, we told him to come to us after the court. By the way, you go to our room and get something. It's a red and black flower pattern on the table. Small box, go quickly." Chu Ze said a few words, then turned around and went to the main hall.

When he arrived, Liu Bowen was sitting in the hall drinking tea.

The posture is relaxed.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head, saw the person coming, and said with a smile: "The prince is back? How is it? Did you get what you asked for?"

Chu Ze: "...don't you know everything and still ask?" (End of Chapter)
