Daming: Pretending to be a blind prince, was exposed by Sister Zhou’s live broadcast

Chapter 0072: Zhu Li: Anyone who smuggles foreign silk does not need to report it, but beheads on the spot!!!

The textile business, after the weaving mill began to operate at full strength, became another source of income for Hanzhong Province, and even had a trend to catch up with the salt business!

In the following months, more and more foreign merchants came to Hanzhong Mansion to negotiate the cloth business, so that Zhu Li also made a lot of money, and the scale of the military factory was directly tripled by him!

After tripling the production capacity of the military factory, he was able to reproduce a large amount of armor in less than three years!

However, as a result, there is a shortage of raw materials.

That is, there is not enough iron!

You must know that in ancient times, iron was also firmly in the hands of officials, and so were all iron mines!

The only iron tools that the people can use are basically agricultural tools, and they are also iron tools built by the government for farming.

Although there are also blacksmiths in private individuals, there are very few circulation, and only the more affluent people can afford iron!

Getting some iron before was not a problem for Zhu Li at all, after all, he was also a clan king.

But before that, it was because the scale of raw materials needed by military factories was not large, and the number of armor or weapons created was limited, so the drawbacks had not yet been highlighted.

But now, when the production capacity of the military factory has been tripled, the shortage of iron materials has immediately become prominent!

So Zhu Li had to change his strategy, when Fanbang merchants came to buy goods, he gave priority to using war horses and iron to offset the payment for the goods, and he could also give certain discounts!

In this way, the problem of insufficient iron can be solved in a short time.

There is also no shortage of iron ore in the Western Regions, and if iron can be used to trade with Zhu Que, then the merchants are naturally happy to see it!

“Concubine, how do you feel during this time? Your belly is getting bigger, don’t overwork it! ”

After returning to the palace, Zhu Li did not forget to ask Zhou Shuyi for warmth.

Zhou Shuyi immediately smiled!

Because she knows that this man is the type who can’t afford to be early, and when he takes the initiative to care for you, there must be something for you to help!

“You’re right, it’s quite uncomfortable to stand up for this big belly, and you really need to rest well during this time!”

Zhou Shuyi nodded thoughtfully as he spoke.

It’s been more than three months, and her stomach has long begun to stand out, and the feeling of being a mother for the first time still makes her quite novel.

“Concubine Ai’s three purchase opportunities today are exhausted?”

Zhu Li suddenly asked at this time.

Really!

She knew that this man must have something again, and after saying two sentences, she immediately revealed her original form!

“Didn’t you just buy three drones?”

“What else do you want to buy?”

Zhou Shuyi stared at Zhu Li with a smile and asked.

When Zhu Li heard this, he was somewhat embarrassed.

Does this seem too utilitarian?

But between husband and wife, what is there to say, why care so much?

“Well, King Ben wants to know if you can buy books on mineral distribution?”

“Your supermarket is so amazing, there should be information about minerals in future generations, right?”

Zhu Li immediately said his needs.

Because of the lessons from the past, he had asked Zhou Shuyi to buy many books on crop farming from the market.

There are also some technical books on how to strike iron, how to make some containers

In fact, he also knew that it should be no problem to let Zhou Shuyi get some mineral distribution maps or some other related technical information!

“Mineral distribution books? Are you switching to mining now? ”

Zhou Shuyi was stunned when he heard this.

Zhu Li was speechless when he heard this.

What is changed to mining?

Zhu Li could only explain his shortage of iron raw materials to Zhou Shuyi.

“This is easy to do, you just take a pen and paper, I’ll write it down for you!”

Zhou Shuyi immediately had an idea after listening to it.

If you want iron ore, you don’t need her to waste the opportunity to buy books in this area, just ask Wu Chengfeng and others in the live broadcast room, it should be no problem to find one or two small iron mines near Hanzhong Mansion!

Of course, Wu Chengfeng and they really did not disappoint Zhou Shuyi.

The minerals in the northwest are already relatively rich, and the number of iron ore and coal mines can not be counted!

Most of the later records disclosed were the kind of state-owned large-scale coal mines and iron mines, and what Zhu Li needed here must be the kind of small-scale mines that were relatively hidden and not easy to be detected by others at the same time.

After Wu Chengfeng and others read some information, they immediately told Zhou Shuyi about two small minerals hidden in the Hanzhong region, which were only explored and unexcavated even in later generations.

At this time, Daming must not have known that there were iron mines under those two places!

Moreover, these two places are still deep in the mountains, which is more suitable for the operation of Zhu Que!

In a sense, Wu Chengfeng and his gang of modern people are equivalent to helping the Han King Zhu Li to rebel together!

Privately digging iron ore!

Zhu Li’s side hurriedly sent paper and pens, and then stared at Zhou Shuyi expectantly to write down the specific location of the two minerals.

“Probably these two ranges, and still in the mountains. You need to send someone to explore to determine the exact location! ”

Zhou Shuyi quickly wrote down the two hidden iron ores according to what Wu Chengfeng said, but the place names of later generations and the Daming period will definitely be different, Zhou Shuyi is a rough stomach, the specific exploration must have to be operated by Zhu Que himself!

“Thank you Concubine Ai, now you have made another contribution to King Ben!”

Zhu Li was simply overjoyed, he didn’t expect that Zhou Shuyi actually intimately helped him choose two very hidden iron mines, so that the operation was even simpler!

This kind of thing is naturally unsightly, Zhou Shuyi really wants to give him what minerals close to the towns and villages, he has to think twice if he wants to mine!

So in the next time, Zhu Li sent people to start exploring in the two deep mountains written by Zhou Shuyi, looking for iron ore everywhere!

Not to mention, after half a month’s work, his people in both areas have found signs of the existence of iron ore!

Zhu Li suddenly made up his mind!

After getting the source of iron ore, he doesn’t have to worry about the problem of insufficient iron!

It’s nothing more than trouble points, and you have to mine it yourself! But the raw materials are completely stabilized!

And he doesn’t need to buy iron from other places, after all, the cloth or salt exchanged for it is also money!

These two iron mines can also be regarded as the best gift that Zhou Shuyi gave to Zhu Li before the New Year!

Daming Hongwu 25th month.

Zhou Shuyi has been pregnant for more than four months.

Zhu Li is still busy!

After the New Year, there are more things to do!

Not only iron ore to be mined, salt and cloth to be made, but also spring ploughing!

On this day, Zhou Shuyi was basking in the sun in the courtyard with the help of two maids, and Zhu Li appeared in front of her with that signature smile!

“What do you want to buy this time?”

Zhou Shuyi was used to it, and without waiting for Zhu Li to speak, he took the initiative to ask with a smile.

As soon as Zhu Li’s words came to his lips, he immediately swallowed them back! Good guy, are you so obvious?

“That’s right, it’s about spring plowing, and King Ben wants a little rice that you said can grow two crops!” While the time is still early, you need to cultivate seedlings early, and when the time for spring ploughing comes, hurry up and sow them! ”

Depressed to depressed, Zhu Li still said something after shushing and asking warmly, and then talked about business.

“I’ve been ready for you!”

“I heard you talk about rice before, and I knew that it must be planted in the spring!”

“In the past few days, I have helped you stock up on ten bags of rice seeds, a total of 300 kilograms, which are stored in the warehouse of the royal palace, you can directly let people take them!”

Zhou Shuyi looked at Zhu Li’s somewhat weak look, and felt a little funny! Not to mention, after getting used to getting along with Zhu Li like this, I still think it’s quite interesting!

“Concubine Ai is actually so intimate? It really made King Ben feel a little ashamed of himself! ”

“This time is also too busy, if the king has a place to snub, please forgive the concubine!”

Zhu Li was really a little surprised at this moment, but he didn’t expect that this woman was still so delicate, and she had already helped him prepare the rice seeds!

“Okay, knowing that you are busy, there is actually nothing on my side, there are maids to take care of, you hurry up and get busy!”

Zhou Shuyi laughed very generously.

“Hahaha… Sister Zhou, has this grown? ”

“It seems that after being trained by King Han in the past few months, Sister Zhou has adapted to her role!”

“Now Sister Zhou is more and more like Princess Han!”

“So can Sister Zhou still be so virtuous?”

“But the King of Han is still the King of Han, Sister Zhou let him go, he really turned around and left!”

“The son-daughter lover is not King Zhu Li of Han!”

“……”

In the live broadcast room, the audience looked at the conversation screen of the little two, and the barrage suddenly rolled happily.

Zhu Li had already taken people straight to the palace warehouse to get rice seeds.

Although it is not yet the first month, the work that should be prepared must also be prepared.

Breeding in February, planting in March.

You also have to choose some more suitable and fertile soil to cultivate, there are still many things to do!

Three hundred kilograms of rice seeds is 600 kilograms!

One acre of land is only one pound of seeds, and these 600 kilograms of rice seeds can grow 600 acres of land!

Although it is still small, it can only be cultivated on a small scale, but at the beginning there can be 600 acres, which is already very good!

“Your Highness, our people have found out some things, and invite Your Highness to make a decision!”

Just when Zhu Li was busy with the stall of rice cultivation, Qin Han suddenly led a few guards to hurry.

“Say it!”

Zhu Li didn’t say nonsense, and his brows frowned.

Qin Han’s side simply reported what the people below had investigated.

To put it simply, some locals saw the huge profits of the cloth business, and were not satisfied with only making the small money of the common people, but chose to collude with merchants from other countries and privately trade the hoarded cloth!

Locals can get a satin horse for 40 taels of silver in Hanzhong Mansion, and foreign merchants basically cost 180 to 200 taels a horse.

As long as those local merchants change hands and double their hands, 120 taels and horses are sold to Fanbang merchants, and more Fanbang merchants are willing to trade!

But in this way, it is equivalent to directly robbing him of the wealth of Han King Zhu Li!

Fanbang merchants all want to trade with these local merchants, so naturally there are fewer people who come to find him Zhu Que!

“King Ben ignored it!”

“Any profitable business, there will always be someone who takes risks!”

“Dare to grab food under the nose of King Ben, depending on how iron their heads are!”

After Zhu Li listened, a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Someone actually dares to touch his cake, isn’t it looking for death?

“You inform Yang Hui and let him lead a thousand guards to form a northern patrol and inspect the north!” Once you encounter local merchants and foreign merchants who buy and sell cloth privately, you don’t need to report it, and you don’t need to report it, and you will behead them on the spot! Let people throw their heads and corpses directly outside the northern realm to feed the crows! ”

A moment later, Zhu Li gave an order directly to Qin Han.

“The end will obey!”

Qin Han’s heart froze, he knew that Zhu Li was really angry this time

For ordinary things, Zhu Li’s tolerance is still relatively high, but once someone touches his interests, the end is absolutely miserable!

And Yang Hui, mentioned by Zhu Li, is currently a thousand households of the Hanzhong Army, who is very rigid, honest and law-abiding!

He was one of the leaders of one of the seven thousand households of the Hanzhong army, and he did his best to complete the orders given to the king of Han without any compromise!

Even if his own son of Yang Hui sold cloth to Fanbang privately, he would not hesitate to cut off his own son’s head!

Therefore, it is most appropriate to leave this matter to Yang Hui to do!

Zhu Li actually thought that such a thing would happen! It’s just that he didn’t expect it to come so quickly!

It seems that profit makes people crazy after all!

Even if he made 180 taels of silver and a horse of silk for Zhu Que, they would already make a lot of money by selling it to those Fan States!

At this price, they can take it casually to the Western Regions, or the Arab region, and it is not a problem to directly double the profit several times!

After all, the only ones who can afford these high-grade fabrics are the princes and nobles of the Western Regions!

But who is afraid of more money?

After arranging for Yang Hui to deal with this matter, Zhu Li didn’t ask more!

Anger returns to anger, but the most important thing at the moment is spring plowing.

He also believed that Yang Hui would not let him down, and would definitely finish this matter for him!

In mid-February, those rice seeds that Zhou Shuyi gave to Zhu Que were all being cultivated!

According to Zhou Shuyi, the yield of these rice seeds per acre is about 400 kilograms, which is about 800 kilograms!

After all, the conditions of the Ming Dynasty in all aspects are still not as good as modern times, and if these seeds are placed in modern times, basically more than 600 kilograms per acre, that is, 1300 kilograms left

Right is not a problem!

However, 800 jin is not less, compared to the original Ming Dynasty’s rice production has doubled!

What’s more, this is still rice that is two crops a year!

He had already harvested the corn and potatoes he had planted once, and the yield was not much different from what he had expected, and he could grow more this year!

Whether it is rice, potatoes or corn, Zhu Li is confident that in about two years, the granaries of Hanzhong and Xi’an Provinces will burst!

Now the food problem is not as tense for Zhu Li as before!

Of course, in the final analysis, Zhu Li is still for his future plan! Whether it was for the common people or for himself, he needed to do these things!

Win a large number of people’s hearts, even if he rebels one day, a word of things, a few minutes can achieve a echo effect!

He is now waiting for these rice seedlings to take shape, and he can plant them in March…

At the same time, inside the Imperial Palace of Ying Tianfu.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s side also used the national transport points obtained from signing in to exchange for rice that can be planted twice a year!

Just like when I exchanged potatoes before, there was only one rice plant!

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw this crystal full rice, his expression also became excited!

As if counting treasures, he counted all the paddies on this entire rice plant, a total of 168!

“A fetish from heaven! This is really a fetish! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn’t help but gasp!

He was born as a farmer!

It was the first time he had seen such a plump and high-yield rice!

With such rice, he believes that it is not a problem to double the rice yield of Daming!

Wrong!

This is just two or three times in one season, and if you have two seasons a year, you can double five or six times a year!

Our Daming, there is salvation!
