Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 257 257 Don’t think I’m cold, just put some clothes on me!

Wang Buli felt that the canal was so long that if he wanted to solve it, he couldn't solve it with just this little money.

It's already good if it can solve a little problem.

The most important thing is, can engineering work be solved with a small amount of money?
Obviously impossible.

In addition, Lao Zhu wants to get things done without paying for it.

Obviously he wants everyone to live by drinking the northwest wind.

"Father-in-law, the canal is too long and this money is not enough. Let's try it out first and train some water conservancy officials through the project."

Wang Buli paused for a moment before following his lead: "The right way is to transfer the money of their big businessmen to our court."

"Hey, that's right."

Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Wang Buli's shoulders approvingly:

"Your Majesty, maybe this matter is not groundless. Why not train some people who know how to identify mineral deposits and let them go to various parts of the Ming Dynasty to explore."

"Ah."

Wang Buli was a little confused when he took the imperial edict.

We are all his father-in-law, and it doesn’t make sense for this guy to still be hiding him.

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly pushed Zhu Biao out:
"Biao'er suggested to us that we should cultivate some skilled students in the Imperial College and give them separate room for advancement. I am still considering it."

Wang Buli glanced at Zhu Biao in surprise. He didn't expect that Zhu Biao would think of dividing the Imperial Academy students according to this. I really don't know how he was stimulated.

In this way, there must be copper mines in Yunnan.

"Brother Prince, your idea is very good. I think you may not be able to be a good official if you just study the books of sages. It is better to train more professional and technical officials, who can at least do things."

If Wang Buli can give him some better suggestions, he will make money. If he doesn't just support himself to do it, Zhu Biao thinks it's normal.

Zhu Biao expressed his satisfaction.

According to Lao Zhu's temperament, Wang Buli believed that doing more was better than doing less, and he did not want to be a critic.

We built the Ming Dynasty from nothing. I used to think that if I owned the whole world, I would definitely not be hindered by others.

This kid has been educated by Song Lian and other great Confucian scholars for more than ten years. Is it possible that the influence will be eliminated in a short time?
Zhu Yunwen also subconsciously learned from his father's style and got close to those civil servants.

But after I became emperor, I realized that there were too many things that restricted me. "

Let’s take the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as proof. It is a fictional novel. I really don’t think I have read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms! "

We know that he wants to fight and deliberately deceives us.

If Ming soldiers can be found in the future, it will be a matter of luck.

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for Wang Buli to give him a positive answer.

"Yeah."

This is the normal process.

By the way, the matter of repairing the canal was also added to the matter of repairing the imperial tomb.

Therefore, everyone feels tired.

It's just that everyone's abilities are not enough to support their ambitions.

“It’s like money.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, walked two steps, and turned his back to Wang Buli:
"Lanyu said that there are copper mines in Yunnan, and as long as they are mined, the court will not be short of copper.

To be fair, you have to send it to Zhongshu to save it for filing and stamping, so that it can be effectively issued.

After all, the good ideas from the civil servants were in line with Zhu Yunwen's ideas.

While the two of them were chatting, Zhu Yuanzhang had already written an imperial edict and sent it directly to Wang Buli.

The court had no money, not even copper mines. "

Wang Buli hummed and answered the question. Everyone has their own troubles, even Zhu Yuanzhang, who rules the world, is the same.

You really can't do anything without money!

"Our good son-in-law, the method you mentioned is so close to our hearts.

Wang Buli just said, "Okay, okay, you can give it a try to give encouragement," but did not say any constructive opinions.

According to Lao Zhu's idea of ​​​​stimulating growth, there really is a copper mine in Yunnan, and he can't wait to get it in his hands immediately.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not need Wang Buli's affirmative answer. He was satisfied with just a word that was not groundless.

Zhu Biao also talked to Wang Buli about his views on civil servants, as if he regarded himself as a think tank.

After all, although Wang Buli hides his secrets, he is not omnipotent and can know everything.

Zhu Biao also agreed with this statement. The more officials who do practical things for the Ming Dynasty, the better.

A few hundred yuan a month, what a waste of money!
The blame lies with Lan Yu, a war madman.

I took the opportunity to bring it up at this time just to make Wang Buli admit it and give him a positive answer. Wang Buli nodded slightly. Of course he would not say that there were copper mines in Yunnan.

The source himself explained it clearly, just follow what he likes to hear.

Wang Buli acted as if he didn't know, and quickly put it away, saying that his son-in-law would do a good job.

So he went back with the imperial edict.

After his son-in-law left, Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his sore wrist:

"Our son-in-law is still thinking deeply, but his tone is not as relaxed as before."

Zhu Yuanzhang was referring to the fact that Wang Buli didn't know his identity at the time, so he spoke a little bolder. After knowing his identity, his tone was less aggressive.

Especially after getting married, the obedient one is like a little sheep.

The more he tried to get something out of him, the more confused the boy pretended to be.

He is indeed a good candidate for an official position.

"Dad, people say that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If Wang Buli is too domineering, I'm afraid you won't be able to tolerate him."

"Can't, can't."

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to wave his hands and said: "The best we can do is imprison him."

Zhu Biao:......

He felt that Wang Buli knew his father better than he did, and indeed there was nothing wrong with being cautious.

Early the next morning, Wang Buli called everyone in the county government office.

Announce to them that the imperial court will repair the entrance to the river during the dry season, and send them to send people on official business to deliver the news according to the address on the list of big merchants who visited last time. In addition, they recruit cooks to make big pot meals from Jiangning and Shangyuan counties.

By the way, registration of labor recruitment in each village is completed. The first construction period will be between three and four months.

The money is calculated on a daily basis, each person is fifty cash per day, including food and accommodation. If he works hard enough, he can get two thousand cash.

That's as a reward.

If people bring their own tools, they will receive subsidies. The specific subsidies will depend on the type, and an announcement will be made later.

Wang Buli's words immediately made the government officials excited.

Two thousand Wenfa treasure notes, that's a good job!

You must know that Hai Rui took great care of his workers. He could only earn 600 coins a month. At that time, money also appeared in large quantities.

Wang Buli offered such a high price for the work. Just to find 5,000 people, the monthly fee would be 10,000 taels.

This does not include the remaining costs of buying food and building temporary residences.

Everyone was stunned by Wang Buli's generosity.

"Prince-in-law, how can the imperial court pay the laborers recruited to build the canal?"

Although everyone felt that Wang Buli was favored by the emperor, they couldn't be so prodigal, right?
After a rough calculation, how can I not be surprised to spend such a large amount of money.

"The emperor said that working on the canal was hard and tiring, and it was still cold in winter.

If the people are weak, they will easily get sick while doing this kind of work. How can we do this without giving them more money? "Wang Buli immediately put a high hat on Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the canal and turned the world against him. I, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, fought his way from common people to emperor. Is there anyone in the past and present who is like him?"

"The emperor naturally knows how to love the people, so the emperor is merciful and specifically allows me to hire him at a high price to reward the people who work hard for the court."

Listening to what Wang Buli said, they were even more excited now.

Who doesn’t know that Zhu Yuanzhang fought his way up from the ranks of refugees!
Especially since the emperor allowed the people to come to Beijing to complain to the officials and killed so many corrupt officials, they certainly believed what Wang Buli said.

"Prince-in-law, if this is true, I will ask my brother to earn this hard-earned money!"

"Hahaha."

Everyone burst into laughter. Although Wang Buli was strict, he was very easy-going most of the time.

"Of course it's true. You first go to each village to register strong laborers. Your Majesty personally told me about this matter. I am fully responsible for this.

Any businessmen who came to see me were brought to me, and some of them had business to do.

By the way, the people who make a living by carrying goods along the canal are the first to be selected. They are more familiar with it. If they don't want to do it, they can put it forward and give the opportunity to other people who want to do it. "

Wang Buli waved his hand calmly: "Now you all go and move for me, and you will be rewarded when the time comes."

"Thank you, Prince Consort."

The crowd cheered.

"You have to thank Your Majesty."

Wang Buli emphasized the key point.

Wang Buli was afraid that he was too kind to the workers and provided them with a full meal every day, which was a bit oily and so on.

They were afraid that I, Wang Buli, would be cold, so they put a yellow dress with a dragon on me.

This result is so hellish!
If the guarantee is not complete, it is not easy to use.

You must know that there are too many health centers around Nanjing City.

These people have experienced war, and they are not the kind of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who need to settle accounts on a large scale when the Japanese pirates come. If anyone dares to be so kind to him, Wang Buli will definitely give him a hard hammer.

This is trying to harm me!

He must not be lenient, not to mention that Lao Zhu was young and strong, and his generals had almost no losses.

If we really start a fight with them, unless we can cheat and get some muskets and artillery, we have to stay away from Nanjing.

The funds provided by Lao Zhu are actually quite large.

The main reason is that those craftsmen are very courageous. They have the money printing machine in hand and are very motivated to work. All they print are large-value banknotes.

Part of it was handed over as planned, and most of the rest was in my own hands.

It is indeed the way of the Soviet fur party.

Wang Buli got so much start-up capital, not counting the money invested by big businessmen, so he had to spend it effectively.

Cash-for-work is a good idea.

In fact, infrastructure construction is the most expensive way to spend money, and it can help a large number of people to become rich reasonably.

Of course, it is unreasonable to become rich. It is also basic, but the risk is higher.

The people in the household immediately started typesetting and printing.

Many of the government servants who were selected were very excited. Although it was hard to go on official business, the subsidies were sufficient.

You can also get more money than others next month.

It is recognized that the Prince Consort is generous in his actions.

Now that he spends so much money to do things for His Majesty, he may not have put much effort behind it.

As the war continues to decrease and peace comes, who doesn't like money!
After the people left, Wu Wei, the county magistrate, sat down and said:

"Your Majesty is really a generous person."

After all, the decree was issued just a few days ago for Wang Buli to be the commander-in-chief of the construction of the imperial mausoleum.

Now he is asked to build a canal, which is not a job that Dian Shi can do at all!
It makes sense that the emperor chose him to build the imperial tomb, but the matter of repairing the canal is really confusing.

This is not foolhardy.

You might have to rework it, especially if it needs to be done by professionals.

"Bu Li, have you found someone who knows how to build the canal?"

"Qintian Supervisor is looking after General Zhi. He has some water conservancy skills. I will also recruit others who have water conservancy knowledge."

"The project is so rushed that many people will hoard supplies, which will ineffectively increase the price of rice in winter."

Wu Wei didn't think those businessmen would give up such a good opportunity to make money.

Especially those wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan, they spend money like water, but when it comes to making money, they don't give in too much.

"It's okay. I'll pay with treasure money. If they want to make money, they can make it."

Wang Buli poured a cup of tea for Wu Wei: "It always costs money, whether it is the common people or their big businessmen, they will eventually spend money."

No one hoards valuable money.

As long as the imperial court keeps printing treasure banknotes, their value will inevitably decline.

Just spending money can improve the economy.

Of course, the most important thing is to make the people have money. Otherwise, everyone will become a fucking poor person. How can we spend money to promote economic circulation?

Wu Wei touched his beard and put down the imperial edict in his hand:

"I've always known that you have an idea, but I don't think His Majesty is a lavish person. Don't make your own decisions."

Officials like them all knew Lao Zhu's naughty impression.

That's why Wu Wei kindly reminded Wang Buli to avoid doing bad things with good intentions.

"How do you say that?" Wang Buli couldn't remember after thinking about it:

"Just think that this is His Majesty testing me again, whether I can coordinate the various tasks of building the canal and coordinate everyone to repair the imperial tomb."

"I see."

Wu Wei rolled up the imperial edict and didn't say anything more.

The news released by Wang Buli was tantamount to a bombshell, and the first to be shocked were the families of those who worked in the county government.

There are few opportunities to make money in winter.

The prince-in-law immediately gave them a good opportunity, but he didn't know how to be selected to work.

Because now the government only gives a notice and does not specify the start time, the people they select are strong laborers between the ages of twenty and fifty-five.

If you are a strong woman who wants to make money outside of sex, you can also wait for follow-up news from the government.

In short, anyone who wants to sign up can register.

The canal is being repaired section by section, and there will always be a need for work.

The most important thing is that there will be work to repair the imperial tomb in the future.

The happiest people are the people of Shangyuan County, who finally caught up.

Because according to the previous tradition, working for the government was hard work, and it was all for nothing. It was hard and tiring, and no one wanted to go.

Now the prince-in-law has received instructions from the emperor and is giving money to everyone!

Who doesn’t want to go?

It's not that the price given by Emperor Hongwu was not high enough.

Don't want to do a loss-making business.

What's more, the people in the other counties of Yingtian Prefecture were a little unhappy after hearing the news.

Why are all the good things going to the people of these two counties?

The three counties of Liuhe, Yizhen and Jiangpu on the other side of the river are closer to each other.

So people from these counties got together to invite the local county masters and asked them to write to His Majesty to plead for mercy.

They also wanted to feel the emperor's favor.

They also want to build canals and imperial tombs for His Majesty!

They also want to progress!
After all, the last time the emperor issued treasure banknotes to the people of Jingxian County, none of us encountered it, which was unfair.

If the county master fails to beg for mercy, then we will all go to Nanjing to beat the drum and ask the emperor to show mercy.

Then let the emperor replace you, stop doing it!
Amid the outrage, the county magistrates of Yingtian Prefecture immediately submitted letters and even made bloody fingerprints to express their determination.

Zhu Yuanzhang was really amused and angry when he saw the determination of these people to build the canal for the imperial court.

When I asked you to work before, you all complained a lot.

Now Wang Buli is paying you to work, and you are all trying your best to get a spot.

Can anyone bear the pain of the canal?
Prime Minister Hu Weiyong did not expect Wang Buli's operation. Just releasing the news would cause so much controversy.

Guan Jian is once the opportunity to spend money is opened, will anyone be willing to serve the court for free in the future?

"Your Majesty, this opening cannot be made, especially without the approval of the Ministry of Education. It is against the rules."

Regarding Hu Weiyong's words of seeking death, Zhu Yuanzhang remained calm on his face, but he snorted in his heart.

Wang Buli lowered his head and pretended not to hear.

There were inevitable conflicts between prime ministerial power and imperial power.

Wang Buli also couldn't understand how Hu Weiyong had the courage to argue with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Just on this matter alone, Wang Buli felt that the more he knew, the less courageous he became.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial in his hand and said calmly: "Hu Weiyong, what do you think is inappropriate about us?"

"The court has no money!"

Hu Weiyong spread his hands. He had told the emperor a while ago, but he still asked Wang Bu to plow such a big hole.

Guan Jian was given such a good treatment by Wang Buli, which was simply unheard of.

What on earth is he going to do?
With such an invitation to win people's hearts, is it possible that Wang Buli also wants to dig out some stone man or disembowel a fish next to the Grand Canal?

Of course, Hu Weiyong didn't want to make this clear.

After all, the new prince-in-law is favored.

He usually spends money lavishly in the county government office, but he wants to come to the court to recharge his money. It's just nonsense.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, then pointed at Wang Buli and said: "He said that building the canal would not cost the court money, so I asked him to do it."

"What's the matter?"

Hu Weiyong looked at Wang Buli in disbelief.

When Wang Buli released the news about repairing the canal, he calculated an account. Just one month's expenditure was a lot.

Hu Weiyong felt a little out of character, and then waved his hand and said: "It's just nonsense."

He didn't understand why the emperor believed the lies told by Wang Buli.

Not appropriate.

Even if the emperor favored Wang Buli, he would not be indifferent and could easily agree to such outrageous things.

Once Wang Buli was unable to complete this task, it would be the emperor's distrust of the people.

But once this matter is completed, the imperial court will have to wipe the bottom of Haikou, which Wang Buli boasted about. With the excessive issuance of treasure money, Ming Dynasty will soon reach the situation at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Hu Weiyong tried so hard to keep the party for personal gain, not because he wanted to destroy the Ming Dynasty, but because he knew that only if the Ming Dynasty existed, they could continue to become masters.

On this point alone, Hu Weiyong was already more enlightened than many people in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Consort, are you trying to trick the emperor?"
