The last winner of the film and television world

Chapter 534 The birth of "Zhu Datou".

"what?"

"Hey, is this the one my senior sister is playing with?"

Xiao Xianxian was talking about a tablet. They had never seen this thing before. There was no such thing in their time. When she saw the tablet for the first time, she immediately felt it was so magical.

This small thing actually stores so many videos in it, which is more than the videos in the CD.

Zhang Chuchu asked in surprise: "When did you find my things?"

If you remember correctly, there are many guards around you, right? How did Xiao Xianxian discover this?

"Haha, I accidentally saw it when you were watching that day."

Yao Bin thought for a moment: "Okay, I can get you a tablet, which will also show some TV series and variety shows."

Anyway, this is not a difficult task. Besides this tablet, it is estimated that only Xiao Xianxian and Zhang Chuchu in the Ming Dynasty can understand it.

Zhu Xi thought for a while and said: "I have made a lot of money recently, including more than one million taels of silver and tens of thousands of taels of gold."

Listen, what kind of tiger and wolf words are these? Yao Bin coughed twice, and Xiao Xianxian also realized that something was wrong, and quickly explained a few words. It's just that if you don't explain, it will get darker and darker.

"Second uncle, we can't do corvee labor. We still have to pay workers, and we have to ensure good food."

Not long after staying in Huangzhuang, Zhu Xi drove here. He had now learned how to drive. After getting off the car, he glanced at Xiao Xianxian and then walked over arrogantly.

"Second uncle, how much money do we still have in our business account?"

What he meant was simple. He refused to teach him how to drive at first, but now hasn't he learned how to drive?

Zhu Yunwen simply leaned against Xiao Xianxian and asked: "Xianxian, what good things are you talking about."

Zhu Ping now has plans to lead his troops directly to Hubu to rob. These old guys don't even know who owns the Ming Dynasty. The Hubu's money is the money of Lao Zhu's family. He goes to use the money to build roads. Not really.

When he heard the word "corvee", Yao Bin's face suddenly darkened. The so-called corvee was to work selflessly for the court, and he also had to bring his own dry food. There was such a thing in the world.

This is simply an astronomical figure. The annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty is only a few million taels. Of course, according to Yao Bin's estimation, Zhu Yuanzhang has it in his inner treasury, but he will definitely not give him the money unless he dies.

At this time, Zhu Di felt that he was a superfluous person, and he had no role to speak at all. But fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough, so he stayed nearby to see if he could know something.

"Have you calculated the cost of the two roads from Yingtian Mansion to Xi'an Mansion and to Beiping Mansion?"

"Hey, you'll know when you get back tonight."

Yao Bin couldn't do anything to exploit the people. It was only natural to ask people to work and pay them.

Even if they don’t pay wages, they actually ask people to bring food to work.

"Just a rough calculation, excluding corvee work, it will cost at least five million taels of silver. Mainly the cost of cement and stones."

After greeting everyone, Zhu Xi went to Yao Bin and said, "Brother Xi, something bad has happened. Now we have no money to build roads."

"What can I say? Anyway, the people in the household department just don't have money. No matter how much I ask for it, they won't give it."

"No, brother Hei, have you ever thought about it? If you give me money plus food, I'm afraid the cost will be at least doubled, which means at least 10 million taels of silver will be needed."

Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen looked at each other, thinking who am I and where am I?
How come he could understand every word of these people's conversations separately, but couldn't figure out what they meant when they were put together?

"Second uncle, what did the household department say?"

Of course, you can go and get it now, but you, King Zhu Fang of Qin, have to be whipped.

Even so, the cement roads from Jinling to Xi'an and Beiping must be built. Once these two roads are opened, subsequent construction will be faster.

Zhu Di also heard from the side that if the cement road was really built to Peiping, I am afraid that the imperial court's control over the local area would reach an unprecedented level. At that time, when his father dies, there will be no chance.

"Second brother, if we only build the cement road from Yingtian Mansion to Xi'an Mansion, will the cost be less?"

"Fourth, aren't you talking nonsense? Of course it will cost very little money to build a road."

Yao Bin knew very well what Zhu Di was thinking. Then he thought of the way later generations would build highways, and immediately had an idea: "In this way, second uncle, let's go back to the palace to see Grandpa Huang immediately. I probably know how to get the money for road construction." Done."

"it is good."

Then the whole group went back to the palace, including Zhu Yun and Xiao Xianxian. Only Zhu Di was left. He was so angry. Why didn't King Yan give him a task?
Xiaobei Xiaoping came over at this time and said: "Master, everyone has left, should we go back?"

"Hey, come back, come back."

On the way back, Xiao Xianxian kept surrounding Yao Bin, saying that she needed to make some videos to include in it. Of course, she was talking about old TV series from the 1990s. After all, she didn't know about good TV series from later generations.

"Okay, I'll get it done right away." After saying that, Yao Bin thought of a guy who could let Xiao Xianxian do the cement road investment. After all, this woman's eloquence is quite good.

Zhang Chuchu, who is also a modern person, is far behind in this aspect.

The three cars entered the palace directly. The guards did not even dare to ask or look at who was driving. One was the concubine of King Huai, one was the grandson of the emperor, and the other was King Qin of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Yao Bin and Zhu Xi coming, and thought it must be about road construction.

And because of the money, he was very aware of the twists and turns inside.

“What, there’s no money to build the road?”

Zhu Feng immediately started to flatter him: "My father is wise and he has so much money, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted: "Okay, Yunxi, if you have any good ideas, please tell me first because we have very little money in the inner treasury, so don't make such an idea."

Yao Bin had no idea of ​​using the internal treasury at all, but smiled and said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson has come up with a way, which is to attract investment. We will hand over the construction process technology to the businessmen and let them do it. The money will also be given to the businessmen. When the time comes, the court will be responsible for the inspection and acceptance."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at a fool and sneered: "Yunxi, is this the way you thought of?"

Zhu Xi also sighed a little, why did this nephew lose his head? Those businessmen are so treacherous and cunning. If they are asked to pay for road construction, wouldn't it cost them their lives?

"Grandpa Huang, it's like this. Our cement roads will have tolls in the future. Businessmen will pay to build the roads first. Then they will get their money back by collecting the money."

This is completely a reference to the highways of later generations. There is no choice but to use this method now that we have no money. Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned even darker. Isn't this just taking advantage of the people: "You still have to charge a fee?"

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Yao Bin continued to explain: "Grandpa Huang, this fee is not charged to ordinary people. It is free for pedestrians. A small fee is charged for ordinary people's carriages, but the bulk is collected from caravans."

After hearing this explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang's face looked better. As long as he was not squeezing the people, it was acceptable.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. We have a premise, we can't squeeze the people, otherwise I will whip you. Second brother, as an elder, you must always remind the emperor's grandson, do you hear me? "

"Yes, Father."

"It's Grandpa Huang."

No matter what, Zhu Yuanzhang finally agreed, and then thought about the problem of the coin making machine. Yao Bin continued: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson saw that most of the silver on the market was not uniform, so he planned to make a new batch of silver coins. Two denarii are one dollar."

"You should make some first and show it to us."

This coinage can be said to be a huge profit. The silver content in a silver dollar is 90%. In other words, there are also 10% other metals. If you get 100 million silver dollars, wouldn't you make a thousand dollars directly? Ten thousand?

Damn it, I don’t know this, I’m shocked when I calculate it. No wonder everyone wants to have a money printing machine, it’s because there is such a huge profit by using the machine.

Yao Bin is not afraid that people in the Ming Dynasty will not be able to accept silver coins. He must know that the craftsmanship of later generations is enough to conquer everyone in the Ming Dynasty.

After leaving Qianqing Palace, Yao Bin couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth. Zhu Xi was really surprised, but he couldn't continue to ask.

"Second Uncle, your task now is to divide all the cement roads into sections and mark the necessary passes inside so that the toll standards can be set."

"it is good."

Then Zhu Fang went to find someone from the Ministry of Industry. He used to be an idle prince who spent all day just eating and waiting to die, or quarreling with the youngest Zhu, but now he seemed to be a different person.

In the East Palace, Yao Bin was thinking, where should this coin machine be placed?

As for the equipment, it is easy to buy. In later generations, it will be sold in gift factories. After all, this was a money printing machine in the Ming Dynasty, but in later generations, it was used to produce handicrafts.

After Zhu Yunwen learned about this, he immediately said: "Third brother, I remember that the Lu family has a house in Jinling. It seems that it has been given to me. How about you use it?"

If you want to ask why you don't go to the Chang family and the Lan family, the Chang family is very poor now and has almost no industry in the city. As for Lan Yu, Yao Bin doesn't want to have too much involvement with each other from the bottom of his heart. The main reason is that he is afraid that Lan Yu will commit a crime. Not easy to punish.

"Okay, second brother, thank you then."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "You're welcome, we're all doing things for the court. And that one, Xianxian asked me to get that tablet."

Tsk tsk, this Zhu Yunwen has really become a licking dog.

Yao Bin gave him the tablet directly. As for the charger, there was no need to teach him anything. Xiao Xianxian, a modern person, couldn't even use this?
Yao Bin came to the Lu family's house the next day and found that the size of the venue was very suitable. If nothing else happened, this would be the central bank of the Ming Dynasty.

Then the remaining fifty fully armed guards were brought in from outside the city. This would be a very important place from now on, and the defense must be strengthened.

It is still a private house and needs to be renovated. Reinforced concrete is a must-have.

In later generations, if a coin-making machine was bought and a group of craftsmen were hired, the freedom of these people would not be restricted. This was not a secret. The coin-making machine was the only one in the Ming Dynasty, and there was no fear of imitation.

After completing the electrical equipment, Yao Bin followed the instructions and finally got out a thousand silver coins, which is one thousand taels of silver. In fact, there were only nine hundred taels of silver, and the remaining one hundred taels were copper.

Looking at the exquisite silver coins in his hand, Yao Bin touched his chin and thought, although the craftsmen didn't know there was copper in it today, they would definitely find it out over time. They still had to find a way, or else would they still restrict the freedom of these people?
While Yao Bin was meditating, the construction team also came over. They wanted to renovate the house, and cement and other supplies were given priority.

Before leaving, Yao Bin ordered the escort: "Protect those machines. If anyone dares to rob them, shoot them directly."

Although there are only fifty people, it is completely enough to protect these machines.

"Yes, Your Highness."

When they arrived at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di and Zhu Du were standing below. It seemed that they should have been called in by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I've met Grandpa Huang."

"Ah."

"I have met the emperor's grandson." x2
Zhu Di and Zhu bowed reluctantly. Zhu was reluctant on the surface, but Zhu Di was reluctant on the inside.

Even though Zhu Zai and Zhu Ping were incompatible with each other in the play, and even fell in love with Kaoya, he had no grudge against people from Zhu Biao's lineage.

"Grandpa Huang, this is the silver coin made by my grandson."

"Oh, bring it here and let's take a look."

The silver coin is very simple. It has Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait on the front and the year number on the back. In summary, it is a replica of Yuan Datou. Except for the year number and portrait, the rest are the same.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw his face on it and asked, "Yunxi, why did you print our face on it?"

"Grandpa Huang, you are the founding emperor of our Ming Dynasty. My grandson thinks that even if new silver coins are issued in the future, your face must be printed on it. Without Grandpa Huang, there would be no Ming Dynasty."

This flattery was very comfortable. Although Zhu Yuanzhang thought that printing his face might bring some troubles, such as what to do if he was assassinated after leaving the palace, but then he thought about it, how many years can he live at his age? ?

"Stop flattering me, this silver dollar is just one tael of silver?"

Yao Bin said with a calm face: "Yes, Grandpa Huang, my grandson will teach you how to test the authenticity of silver coins."

"Oh, then you can teach us."

After saying that, Yao Bin gently pinched the center of the silver dollar with the tips of his index finger and thumb, blew on the edge of the silver dollar, and quickly placed it in Zhu Yuanzhang's ear to listen.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly heard a long and clear final sound.

"Hey, this is interesting."

Then he asked someone to check again and found that it was really one tael of silver. Now Zhu Yuanzhang was even more satisfied. Zhu Dizhu also took a few silver coins and started playing with them.

I thought that this thing is really exquisite, and people will definitely be very happy to accept it in the future.

At least it was much better than the treasure notes issued by their father. Of course, they only dared to think about this in their hearts. If they said it, they would die or lose their skin.
