Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 89 89: Consider giving the position of emperor to Lao Jiu!
  Lao Jiu's ability has always been obvious to all!

Not to mention what the old man just said to Zhu Biao about what will happen in the future, Lao Jiu's current political achievements in Hanzhong Mansion alone are very eye-catching!

And according to the old man, after Lao Jiu became emperor, the Ming Dynasty would definitely not decline, but would move towards a prosperous age even faster, a prosperous age that far surpassed the Han and Tang Dynasties!

This territory is the best proof!

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao himself felt that it would be most appropriate to return the throne to Lao Jiu!

And now, coupled with this Yegorut, there is a high probability that he is Lao Jiu's biological son left behind, or even his eldest son!
  Even if he is not a direct descendant, his identity is extraordinary!

If the old man found this child and allowed him to recognize his ancestor, wouldn't it be even more powerful for Lao Jiu and his family?
  "Dad, if in the future... we really die young, why don't you consider Lao Jiu for this throne?"

Zhu Biao was silent for a long time, and finally said this to Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly!
  "Biao'er...you..."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang thought so too, you can imagine the shock in his heart when he heard Zhu Biao say it himself!

He hesitated to speak, but he didn't know what to say!
  Mainly because he didn't expect that Zhu Biao could figure it out so quickly!

"Dad, you don't need to say more!"

"The Ming Dynasty needs an emperor like Lao Jiu to maintain its foundation!"

"We know my son's body best. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until that day!"

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Maybe this is the best choice too!

Zhu Yunwen is useless!
  If you really insist on putting Zhu Yunwen in power, will the other vassal kings be convinced?

Even if the vassal kings don't say anything, if Zhu Yunwen cuts the vassal, he will directly ruin the country!

Lan Yu's arrogant generals can be killed, but do they also need to kill all the vassal kings like Lao Si and Lao Ninth who can threaten the new emperor?
  This is obviously unrealistic!

In addition, even if he doesn't speak now, the old man will most likely choose Lao Jiu on the day he dies. Instead of doing this, it would be better to say it himself!

Because he knows that if there is no problem with his body, there will definitely be no problem sitting in that position!

But things are different now. The old man has received the auspiciousness of the national fortune and knows everything. Then the old man will definitely pave the way for the future of Ming Dynasty. Lao Jiu is undoubtedly the best choice!

And now that he is speaking out to support Lao Jiu, he can also make Lao Jiu remember the goodness of his big brother!
  Zhu Biao is very smart, and he also figured it out!

Moreover, knowing that his life is not long, why can't he choose the most capable new king for the future of Ming Dynasty?
  Not to mention this!
  Today's Lao Jiu, even if the court wants to touch him, can it be done?

With Lao Jiu's unpredictable abilities, he can form an army by himself!

Not to mention the group of invulnerable Jijun still buried under Dingjun Mountain. Even if the imperial court now has millions of troops, they may not be able to capture Hanzhong Mansion, let alone Lao Jiu!
  Zhu Biao thought about it and saw the current situation very clearly!

If you really want to touch Lao Jiu, I'm afraid it will force Lao Jiu to rebel in advance, so how should you deal with it?

Moreover, Lao Jiu has a very big pattern. After he becomes the emperor, he will not easily attack the feudal kings. What is even more rare is that he also has the ability to frighten all the feudal kings!

"Biao'er, don't worry!"

"We will definitely find a way to help you survive!"

"After a while, we will personally go to Hanzhong to find Lao Jiu. Then, even if we risk our lives, we will definitely get you a finished life-extending pill from Lao Jiu!"

"It should be no problem to extend your life for another five or six years by then!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Biao's words, he hurriedly assured him.

"Dad, why are you still so persistent?"

"How precious is the longevity pill? Even if Lao Jiu has it, why can't he keep it for himself?"

"What's more, he has someone closer to him. Even if he doesn't use it, he should leave it to his wife and children!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly!

More importantly, he, Zhu Biao, is still the current crown prince!
  If Lao Jiu had such thoughts about the throne, how could he be willing to let himself live for so long?

"Biao'er, maybe you haven't realized the weight you have in Lao Jiu's heart!"

"We have told you before that in the simulator, if you go to the northwest, Lao Jiu will give you a life-extending pill!"

"Although it's only a semi-finished product, it can help you live for more than two years at most, but it's enough to show how much Lao Jiu values ​​you as a big brother!"

"But in the simulator, you didn't know the function of the longevity pill, so you kept it in the study without swallowing it!"

"Come to think of it, as a father, we didn't even wait for Lao Jiu to get a life-extending pill until we died!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little uncomfortable!

Lao Jiu is willing to give life-extending pills to the boss Zhu Biao, but his biological father does not have this honor. How can he reason?

"This……"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he was speechless!

At the same time, I was also a little touched inside!
  If you put it this way, Lao Jiu is really extremely benevolent to his eldest brother, the prince!

He, Zhu Biao, is also a person who cares very much about family ties. At the same time, he can also see that Lao Jiu is also a person who attaches great importance to family ties!
  It can be said that there is no need to worry about Lao Jiu's moral character!

"Dad, although Lao Jiu didn't give you a life-extending pill!"

"But even if you die, the emperor's soul is still there!"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who looked a little depressed, but he felt comforted.

Zhu Biao is dead after he dies, but he doesn’t have an emperor’s soul, and he is not an emperor, and he doesn’t have an emperor’s soul!
  Wasn't he buried in Xiaoling after his death?
  Lao Jiu didn't say anything about arresting his soul!
  Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

It seems that it is true that even though he died at that time, the emperor's soul was still there, and he could still follow Lao Jiu and continue to look at the great country of Ming Dynasty!
  According to Guoyun Xiangrui, Lao Jiu can let their imperial souls practice and continue to survive in another form. Even if Lao Jiu dies one day, their imperial souls will still exist!

But without Lao Jiu, even if his emperor soul still exists, he can only sleep in Xiaoling, and he may not be able to wake up even if he doesn't live for thousands of years! If you want to put it this way, it is still a good thing for him to have his soul captured by Lao Jiu after his death!
  No, after the showdown with Lao Jiu, we must tell him that after Zhu Yuanzhang dies, don't wait for burial or anything like that, and arrest his emperor soul on the spot!

……

Hanzhong Prefecture in the northwest.

Zhu Li has been paying attention to the progress of road construction these days!
  Everything was going smoothly, but the daily expenses were a bit high, which made Zhu Li couldn't help but feel a little painful!
  But Zhu Li also knows that although this investment is large, the returns will be quite generous!

As long as these cement roads are repaired, they will continue to create a lot of wealth for him in the future, and the economy of the entire northwest will begin to develop rapidly!
  These can be regarded as necessary early investments. If you don't want to let your children go, you won't be able to trap the wolf!

In addition, if you want to make money, it is actually relatively easy for Zhu Yue!

People in Xi'an Prefecture had already arranged for people to survey the coal mine storage locations. In the past few days, news has come back that several large coal mines have been found!

Zhu Yue is also arranging manpower now to go to Xi'an Prefecture to mine coal mines!

Coal mines are also an urgently needed resource for Zhu Yue!

Coal is not only needed for future industrial development, but also for the production of weapons. More importantly, coal can be used to make money!
  With the coal mine, he can start making briquettes then!
  He plans to build two coal plants in Hanzhong Prefecture and Xi'an Prefecture respectively, specifically for the production of briquettes!

You know, in the [-]s, briquettes were basically a necessity for all people!

Some restaurants also used briquettes for cooking. In short, briquettes were widely used at that time!

At the same time, whether it is road construction, coal mining or briquette production, a large number of jobs will be provided. If people have a job, they can earn wages and support their families. It will definitely be no problem!

After all, Zhu Yue’s current salary package is very good, and it is settled every month!

This is only one aspect!

In addition, many industries in Hanzhong Mansion have begun to make money, which can also relieve Zhu Li's urgent financial needs!
  For example, the big theater opened by Zhu Li has already gained a good reputation!

Originally, only Hanzhong Prefecture knew about it, but now almost everyone in the northwest region and surrounding areas has heard about it!

Even in some state capitals and in the fiefdoms of neighboring feudal lords, many theaters following the trend have appeared!

Can't prevent it, can't prevent it at all!
  Because of the plays written by Zhu Yue, the status of opera singers in the northwest has improved a lot, and they have become popular among everyone!
  Not only that, since Hanzhong canceled the curfew, many other places also saw business opportunities!
  The main reason is that other vassal kings also started to become jealous, and basically started to copy Hanzhong's model. They may not be able to come up with ideas, but they are good at copying homework!
  Even if they are not as good as Hanzhong Mansion, as long as the general direction is correct, they will be much better than before!

These benefits alone are enough to make these feudal kings rich!
  This also shows the ability of Hanwang Zhu Li to attract money!

"Today's lunch will not be eaten at the palace. Let the chef in the military camp prepare it. I want to go there!"

Zhu Li walked out of the study and gave instructions to Geng Qing who was guarding outside.

Riding the horse chasing the wind again, Zhu Yue took Geng Qing and several other guards and headed directly to the military camp!

It is mainly a rubber factory specially used to produce rubber, right next to the military camp!

Without him, the rubber factory will be safer with the army guarding it!
  The main purpose of Zhu Yue is to go to the rubber factory to see how much natural rubber raw material inventory is currently there!

At present, all the natural rubber is basically provided by the rubber grass transported from the Western Regions. Some businessmen in the Western Regions must also be guessing what the rubber grass is used for!
  After all, the most important thing in the eyes of businessmen is profit. Although they don't know what this thing does, they definitely know that it is a good thing!

Otherwise, Zhu Li, the king of Han, would not have been able to purchase a large number of them!
  Some people even start to artificially believe that this grass can be used as medicine, but they don’t know what diseases it is used to treat!

Therefore, many people's eyes will naturally be placed on this rubber grass. It is naturally the safest to let the army guard it!
  Soon, Zhu Li led Geng Qing and others to the warehouse where rubber was stored.

"Your Highness, the current natural rubber raw materials can only barely supply the construction of slingshots and crossbows and the research and development of rubber tires!"

“If we want to manufacture rubber tires in large quantities, I’m afraid it’s not enough!”

Zhao Jian said with some helplessness after counting the amount of rubber currently available.

"There is really no other way. Just select a batch of rubber trees from Yunnan and start cutting them first!"

"But you have to control the quantity, and you should cut [-]% of it a year!"

Zhu Yue thought for a while and then gave instructions directly to Geng Qing.

Although rubber grass can provide a lot of natural rubber, the demand required to support the red oak is too great, and this thing still cannot satisfy it!
  Although a two-year-old rubber tree, cutting the rubber is equivalent to a one-time transaction, and the tree will definitely die, but there is nothing we can do!
  Although Zhu Yue felt a little distressed, she could only choose a batch for emergency use first!
  After another three years of harvesting at most, the remaining rubber trees can basically start harvesting natural rubber normally!

Normally, rubber trees have to wait until five or six years before rubber can be harvested, but the oak tree can no longer wait that long!

All the natural rubber in the warehouse is stored in waxed wooden barrels!
  After this thing is extracted, if it is exposed to the air for too long, it will solidify quickly, so it must be stored in a wooden barrel covered with wax for sealed storage!
  And even if it is sealed and stored, it must be used within a short period of time!

But if you leave it for a year and a half, it will also break!
  There is no way, with the current storage level, we can only do this!

"Will the production of rubber tires be postponed?"

"Wait until the natural rubber from Yunnan arrives?"

Zhao Jian asked.

"No, just use some of the existing raw materials to produce rubber tires!"

When Zhu Yue heard this, he waved his hand directly!
  For Zhu Yue, the rubber slingshot crossbow has been produced anyway, it’s just a matter of quantity!

And there is no war for the time being. Once the natural rubber from Yunnan arrives, we can start manufacturing it in large quantities!
  On the contrary, rubber tires are more important. After all, we are still waiting for money to invest!

After all, rubber tires can play their greatest role on cement roads, and their use for transportation can greatly improve transportation efficiency!

Whether you are doing business or transporting cement and other materials needed for road construction, with rubber tires, you can get twice the result with half the effort!
  For example, supplies that originally required three horses to be pulled can be pulled by one horse using a rubber-tired carriage and a cement road!

As for the carriage specifically designed to be used with rubber tires, Zhu Yue has already designed it!

After hearing what Zhu Yue said, Zhao Jian naturally had no objection and immediately started to get busy!

"Your Highness, lunch is ready!"

At this moment, Geng Qing came over to report.

In the military camp, the food is relatively simple. After all, there is no way to compare with the big fish and meat in the palace!
  Fortunately, Zhu Yue is not picky. In the military camp, it is enough to eat enough and ensure adequate nutrition!
