Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 28 Talk about conditions

In the past month or so, Li Wei has completely let himself go.Wu Bozong had gone to the early court on his behalf.

Today, Li Wei didn't come to work until eight or nine o'clock leisurely as usual. He was principled. Since he was paid, he would definitely go to work on time, but the working time must be reasonable to him.

There is no need to go to the morning court, as long as someone from the cabinet goes there.

Under Li Wei's shoddy operation, the cabinet system was smoothly stabilized, mainly because Wu Bozong and others did a good job without him messing around.

There was no beheading scene to watch today. After Li Wei fished for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had spared time, summoned him again.

"See your majesty! See your highness the prince."

Li Wei bowed perfunctorily.

Zhu Biao said no courtesy, but Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at him with a frown.

Li Wei didn't care. After watching the beheadings for more than a month, he looked away. At worst, he would die in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands. Death would be a matter of time sooner or later. Instead of being worried, it was better to look away.

Take life and death lightly, if you don’t accept it, don’t do it!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his indifferent expression and gritted his teeth secretly.

"Li Wei, why don't you want to do your best for us?"

"Why should I want to?"

“Isn’t that what you should do to be loyal to your emperor and serve your country?”

Li Wei rolled his eyes: "That's just a fake slogan shouted by those hypocrites. I'm not that great."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"Then tell me, whatever you want, I won't deny it!"

Li Wei's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a while, the lion opened his mouth:
"Well, ten thousand taels of gold, and I can make you a king."

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched, and he resisted the urge to drag him out and chop him, and said coldly: "If you get us that kind of weapon that can destroy the world, I will make you the king."

Zhu Biao on the side stared wide-eyed. Li Wei dared to make such an outrageous request from King Feng. What was even more outrageous was that his father actually talked to him!

"This really can't be made."

Li Wei said speechlessly, of course he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was referring to nuclear weapons.

"If you can't make it, don't talk nonsense. Don't make such unrealistic demands!"

"..."

Li Wei was speechless, thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, let me be practical. I have three requirements for a job, which is more money, less work, and being close to home!"

"If you do well in your salary, we will naturally increase it for you. Don't mention the lack of work. How can you get such a good thing if you don't want to work if you want a salary! As for your residence, we can arrange a house for you near the imperial city. "

After hearing this, Li Wei thought for a while, it would be fine to have more money and stay close to home.

"Then I want to have free working hours. It's too early in the morning and I really can't get up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and concluded that Wu Bozong and the others were mainly responsible for the affairs of the cabinet. It was the same with or without Li Wei. He arranged Li Wei in the cabinet. Firstly, he mentioned this matter and asked him to start it. Secondly, Wenyuan Pavilion was close to him. , easy to deal with him!
"We don't care about you in terms of time, as long as you don't miss anything, but you have to come and report to us every day!"

After listening to this, Li Wei felt that it was okay to report on his work every day, as long as he was not rushed to the morning meeting.

Zhu Biao listened with surprise and envy on his face. Although he was a prince, he still had to do his homework on time and handle government affairs. In this regard, his father was still very strict with him.

Look at this Li Wei again, how can he be free in just a few words?I have never seen such an official!
"And the most important thing is, don't beat or scold me at will anymore!!"

"Oh, yes."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said lightly.

"Okay, we have satisfied your requirements. Now it's time for you to tell us how you plan to serve us in the future!"

Are you all satisfied?It seems like it is, but it seems like it's not... But it's good to be able to get these.

As for how to behave in the future, Li Wei thought for a while and said:

"Your Majesty, I heard that our Ming Dynasty has a department called the Jiaofang Division, which is responsible for dance and music performances. Your Majesty doesn't know. In fact, I also have a lot of research on dance music. If your Majesty leaves the Jiaofang Division to me, I promise. I can make a lot of money for His Majesty!"

Li Wei looked majestic and upright, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao both looked at him with contempt.

"If you want women, we can directly reward you with a few!"

"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me, I have no such intention!"

Li Weiyi refused eloquently.

"Huh, tell me something else!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to expose him.

Li Wei thought for a while and then said: "I will make a kind of soap, which is used for washing clothes and body. It is much easier to use than soap locust. If you make it in large quantities, you can make a lot of money!"

Soap is very simple, and Li Wei is sure to make it.

"Weird tricks! We don't want them!"

Li Wei was stunned. He didn't even like this?
"That Chen also knows a way to make transparent colored glaze, and he can definitely make a lot of money."

Burning glass is not difficult either.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and scolded: "How do you know how to make money? We are not short of money. Just keep these tricks for yourself. What we want is the kind of fire gun that can fire continuously. And a steel car that can fly without livestock!”

Li Wei curled his lips and thought to himself that you really know how to choose.

"Your Majesty, these two things are really difficult to make. They cannot be accomplished in a short time. They require a lot of manpower and material resources to accomplish!"

"We have plenty of people and money. You can tell us how much money we have. We can build it within a year!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry!
He was a little anxious. It had been seven years since the Battle of Beiling in the fifth year of Hongwu was defeated due to Xu Da's underestimation of the enemy. The Ming Dynasty had already accumulated enough strength to recuperate, and Beiyuan had been restless. Zhu Yuanzhang planned to Let’s launch the Northern Expedition again!

"One year? One year is really not enough!"

Li Wei shook his head decisively and joked. Even with the technology he brought, these things would take decades to develop!

"But I can improve the fire blunderbuss. It will definitely be much stronger than what you are using now."

It didn't work if he couldn't take out anything. He planned to take out the flintlock first and use it.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said dissatisfied: "If one year is not enough, what about two years?"

"At least ten or twenty years!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Wei suspiciously. To be honest, he didn't quite believe this kid.

"Okay then, you go ahead and improve the firecrackers. Not just the firecrackers, but all other weapons that can be improved will be improved by us. If you do well, you will get a salary increase. If you can't satisfy us, then I will give you a salary increase." We take all of this back from you!"

Li Wei agreed, and An Wutian's work finally took a turn for the better.

"Your Majesty, there are a few things in my bag that I need to use. Do you think you can return them to me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "If you want to use it, you can use it in the palace, but you can't take it out!"

Li Wei does not have these things. When he goes out and tells people that he is a time traveler, others will only think of him as a lunatic. But if he has these things, especially computers and mobile phones, these things are regarded as sacred objects by the people of the Ming Dynasty. By then, let alone Li Wei being a time traveler, even if he says he is a god, some people will believe him!

So Zhu Yuanzhang would never let him take these things out!
"OK then."

Li Wei was disappointed, but being able to use it in the palace was better than nothing.
