Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer

As he spoke, Lao Zhu shook the fishing rod and pulled out a palm-sized crucian carp and said:

"How much loss you have suffered, even if you want to get it back from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols, you can't get it back."

Su Ran squatted next to him and said: "Uncle, are you ready to let the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebol go?

Now Daming construction needs money. "

Zhu Yuanzhang lifted the fishing rod lightly and skillfully picked off a palm-sized crucian carp.

Then he threw out the fishhook and said: "No matter how much money is needed, workers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will no longer be squeezed.

Now everyone in the world is watching.

The Jiangsu and Zhejiang plutocrats have completely surrendered and are in ruins. We will continue to pursue and fight fiercely.

That would be really atrocious.

You two bastards caused such a big scene.

It cost me more than 5.7 million taels of silver and 50 million shi of food and grass!

The advance has been exceeded. "

Facing Lao Zhu's accusation, Su Ran curled her lips involuntarily.

In fact, only 80% of the budget was spent on the reconstruction of Chang'an Plus Academy this time.

The money and grain that exceeded the advance payment were basically spent on the farm.

It can be said that if you invest in building a factory, you will be able to see the benefits by the end of the year.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said lightly: "Let you come back.

Just to give us an idea of ​​how to come up with a clever name,

Then squeeze out the oil and water from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols. "

Hearing Lao Zhu's words, Su Ran couldn't help rolling her eyes: "You always call me here just to blackmail you."

"Nonsense! You have been tormented by that bastard Li Yunsheng one after another. Can you swallow this bad breath?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said, "Hurry up and help me figure it out!"

"Uncle, I came here just to tell you about running a newspaper."

Su Ran chuckled.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "What newspaper did you mention in the brochure?

And what’s going on with the propaganda of Guanzhong righteous Li Laotie?”

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the fishing rod in his hand and found that no fish took the bait.

Hang up the fish food and throw it back into the pond.

"Uncle, look at those gray grandsons in the southeast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They don't have strong fists and have no backers. Why are they so rampant? Isn't it just that they can sow discord and confuse right and wrong with their weak mouths?

Is it a scam that pretends to be powerful?"

Su Ran continued to be persuasive and said: "They can do it, why can't we do it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook the fishing rod in his hand and said expressionlessly: "You mean to let the imperial court raise such a group of mouth practitioners? What are you doing with that?"

"This is not a fancy job, sir."

Su Ran squatted next to the old red fish basket and said: "Everything else in the court is good now.

All he needs is a tongue,

My nephew, the newspaper I propose to run is the mouthpiece of the imperial court!

Let the people and businessmen below understand the court's policies and laws in a timely manner.

It's not just a bunch of scholars talking nonsense and making money with everyone's words. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent and dignified.

After stagnating for a moment, his wrist jerked.

There was a crash.

He picked up a big carp that was more than two feet long and dropped it on the lawn, jumping around randomly.

After Zhu Yuanzhang put down the fish, he stood up for a long time.

Then he took a deep breath and murmured: "Good advice!

If they founded this newspaper, hahaha, wouldn't they care most about reputation?

Let's make them infamy for eternity!

I'm afraid those poor civil servants will have another noose around their necks!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing loudly.

He laughed so excitedly that he suddenly slapped him on the forehead and said angrily: "You unfilial man, you didn't tell me you had such a good idea earlier!"

Do you know how much you, uncle, and I have suffered at the hands of these civil servants?"

As he said that, he picked up his hand and wanted to slap him again.

Su Ran shrank his neck and avoided it, and said repeatedly: "I just remembered it.

Especially that Guanzhong man named Li Laotie,

I feel that this man's righteous deeds should be announced to the world, so that everyone can follow his example.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "That's true.

This man has accomplished such a feat, yet he is so simple-minded and does not ask for anything in return.

If everyone in the world is like him, why worry about not being able to bring peace to the world?

The imperial court should tell the world about his feat!

In addition, those businessmen could also learn about the court's policies through newspapers.

This will guide their investment direction, which will also be of great benefit to the construction of the country.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he immediately said: "Go and do it right away.

Find some eloquent people from the academy.

In addition, the article must be written in an easy-to-understand manner.

You can't have that kind of quibble.

Hum, we are going to use newspapers this time,

Teach these tycoons from Jiangsu and Zhejiang a lesson!"

Zhu Yuanzhang still hated these wealthy gentry.

Especially this time, Li Yunsheng was jumping up and down to cause trouble.

It is clear that the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols played a trick of building plank roads openly and secretly infiltrating their warehouses.

Because Li Yunsheng participated in academic exchanges before.

Although he returned with a disastrous defeat, his reputation has been established.

When it comes to learning, Kong Laoer can kill Shaozhengmao.

But if Zhu Yuanzhang does this, his reputation will be ruined.

Now that Su Ran proposed to start a newspaper, why didn't Zhu Yuanzhang teach them a lesson?

"Don't worry, uncle."

Su Ran said flatly: "Nowadays, what is taught in academies is Dabai dialect.

It’s not easy to find a few people. "

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him again and said: "Get this done.

Just stay in the academy with peace of mind and prepare for the capital move. "

With that said, he waved his hand to signal him to go down.

He continued to squat by the pond and fish.

Su Ran feels that at this moment Lao Zhu is not like Jiang Ziya who fished in the Weishui River, but more like Qin Shihuang.

His idea of ​​returning to Chang'an to engage in infrastructure construction was strangled to death by Lao Zhu.

Although when he left, he had left behind a complete construction plan.

But if he hadn't watched it himself, he would still be a little worried.

In Lao Zhu's eyes, Su Ran is like a super cheat.

Don't talk about following Zhu Biao.

Even if you follow the butt of a pig, you can still achieve great things.

To put it bluntly, Lao Zhu allowed Zhu Biao to taste the taste of imperial power.

But Zhu Biao was not allowed to rely on Su Ran.

He also hoped that Zhu Biao could be thoroughly honed in this major infrastructure construction of the Chang'an Imperial Capital.

Able to stand alone.

Instead of relying on the Su Ran plug-in.

After leaving Lao Zhu, Su Ran was dragged to drink by Zhu Di who couldn't wait.

To his surprise, Zhu Di seemed a little dull.

He didn't brag about fighting on the grassland, he just drank cup after cup.

Su Ran sighed slightly in her heart and continued to drink with Zhu Di.

In his opinion, war and the prairie are both very evil places that can inspire people's ambitions and desires. There is no doubt that this battle made Zhu Di have thoughts that he shouldn't have.

"Why don't you tell me about your conquest in the grassland?"

Su Ran poured him a glass of wine and asked casually.

"What else is there to say?"

Zhu Di said listlessly: "The rocket launcher from the Firearms Bureau,

The Mongolian and Yuan cavalry were stunned with one salvo.

Next, the lancers caught up with three rounds of musketry,

This group of Mongolian and Yuan cavalry squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands and surrendered.

After that, attacking the Jurchens was even more boring. Two rounds of rockets passed by.

Those Jurchens got all the valuable things. "

Listening to Zhu Di's complaints, Su Ran was speechless and poured him a glass of wine.

.....How is my eldest brother in Chang'an?"

Zhu Di suddenly asked confusedly.

"Very strong."

Su Ran said concisely and concisely: "Boss Zhu is almost impeccable in domestic affairs.

Nowadays, Chang'an has gradually shown signs of the prosperous times of Han and Tang Dynasties. "

"That's good." Zhu Di smiled slightly bitterly.

Looking above her head, Mingyue let out a long breath.

"...When my eldest brother takes over, I'm afraid I'll just have to wait for death."

"Don't think so."

Su Ran said calmly: "Now that the military academy has been established,

The military system will gradually be completed, and you will be able to fight in the future.

Now that I have rested,

It would be better to have more concubines and have more babies. "

"Actually, when I was in the north, I always cared about Guanzhong."

Zhu Di twirled his wine glass and said with a wry smile: "I'm just waiting for you to have refugees everywhere.

Then I will lead the army to put down the rebellion. "

"...Just put this thought aside for now.

Su Ran said helplessly: "The world has settled down, and the prosperous age is about to come.

This requires some people to sacrifice. As for whether you want to garrison Yumen Pass,

Let's wait until the capital move is completed. The uncle is now obsessed with moving the capital.

It’s not okay to have no one to protect you. "

Su Ran is completely aware of Zhu Di's thoughts.

Zhu Di is very similar to Zhu Yuanzhang in many aspects, but he is not a good emperor.

Because he didn't assess the situation.

After Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding hero of the country, passed away.

We need a benevolent emperor like Zhu Biao to come and recuperate.

When Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, it was actually in line with the situation at that time.

There is no need to interfere too much with people's livelihood, just do light corvee and pay little tax, and recuperate.

You can naturally enjoy the fruits of prosperity.

If I hadn't been fooled by those stupid civil servants.

In addition, his inner self-confidence is seriously insufficient, so he will not cause trouble in the future.

Now we can make our own plans for major infrastructure construction.

Whether it is a founding hero like Zhu Yuanzhang,

A benevolent gentleman like Zhu Biao will persevere and carry it out all the way.

Wait until the Age of Discovery truly comes.

Ming Dynasty can truly face the world with an invincible attitude.

Su Ran took a long breath.

He began to feel that he and Zhu Di had parted ways.

At this time, in Chang'an City.

Zhu Biao narrowed his eyes and was inspecting the city wall.

He was accompanied by Guo Jian, a member of the Prince's Mansion.

This man was born into a poor family, specialized in Meiji studies at the Royal Academy, and was highly valued by the prince.

Su Ran served as Minister of Engineering before leaving.

After Su Ran left, he temporarily took Su Ran's place.

Under the city wall, a group of Guanzhong men were pushing a huge tower crane.

After fixing the crane all around, the tower crane started to work.

Concrete bricks weighing more than a thousand kilograms were hung on the wall piers.

A team of laborers then applied a layer of adhesive.

Just use small cranes to stack and stack these city bricks.

On the side, craftsmen nailed the processed bamboo stakes into the connecting holes of the city bricks one by one.

The entire city wall was immediately connected into an iron plate.

Students from the College's School of Engineering should stand by and carefully record the pros and cons of the equipment.

These craftsmen will also be asked after work.

Be prepared to make improvements one after another.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile.

Even without Su Ran, he can still firmly control these officials.

What made him even more satisfied was that these officials had specializations in their skills and adhered to their duties and specialized in one thing.

.||Your Highness. "Guo Jian leaned forward and said:

It will be completely completed by the end of the year. "

"very good."

Zhu Biao looked into the distance and said with emotion: "Such an engineering team,

If there are more than a dozen more, the people will be completely free from labor in the future. "

"What your Highness said is true."

Guo Jian nodded and said: "Since the stall servant came into the family,

The labor of these craftsmen has begun to become professional and professional, and a professional engineering team has been formed.

Such an engineering team is not large in number.

But the work efficiency is more than a hundred times that of labor!

There are these construction machinery, plus these professional craftsmen.

In the future, labor in the imperial court will not have to be so troublesome.

When encountering any large-scale projects, several professional engineering teams are directly dispatched.

Subcontracting the project out at once is fast and efficient, and it also prevents subordinate officials from causing trouble. "

"Yeah." Hearing Guo Jian's professional introduction.

Zhu Biao was very satisfied and nodded and said: "Write this down.

When I turn around, I want to give my father a gift.

Guo Jian, how do you feel compared to Su Jijiu?"

Guo Jian leaned forward and said: "I specialize in civil engineering in the academy. In terms of professional depth,

The sacrificial wine is still not as good as a humble minister,

But in terms of extensive knowledge, the minister is far inferior to offering wine.

Zhu Biao looked into the distance and took a long breath: "I'm afraid that future court officials will

If you don't have a professional director, it may be difficult to gain a foothold. "

After returning from Guanzhong, Li Yunsheng became seriously ill due to acclimatization.

After recovering from his illness, he prepared to return to the southeast and prepare for another battle (Wang Nuohao).

What made him extremely frustrated was that the fastest way to return to the southeast was to take a train.

On the platform outside Chang'an City, there was a bustling crowd.

Nowadays, the main purpose of laying trains is to transport goods, followed by delivering people.

Anyone who can take the train is a middle class person.

See the lively scene in front of you.

Li Yunsheng felt even more sad.

"I really don't know what happened to those money-obsessed Guanzhong tycoons?"

Li Yunsheng looked at the platform in front of him and murmured in his heart.

"...What else do you want to do with those useless things, young master?" asked Shui Sheng, the follower at the side.

Li Yunsheng shook his head, looked up to the sky and sighed.

I thought the situation would get better after Su Ran left.

But who would have thought that Zhu Biao's methods were even better.

The group of people outside member Zhao were tortured like guard dogs by Zhu Biao using both soft and hard methods.

No matter how harshly Zhu Biao treated him, they did not dare to resist at all.

Now, under Zhu Biao's instruction, Zhao Yuanwai has completely given up collecting rent from Yuanshi landlords, and instead switched to factories and workshops with higher profits.

There is a paved track leading to Yumenguan.

They immediately produced linen in large quantities and sold it to foreigners.

This made the profit even greater, but Li Yunsheng covered his face in pain.

Then without stopping, he returned to the southeast.

At the same time, there was a sudden uproar on the platform.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd became lively.

Then a strong man came over pushing a cart.

The car was covered with thick newspapers, like test papers.

Come, come, come, the imperial newspaper is here! Three copper coins a copy!"

Immediately, someone started shouting: "New news from the court!

The train track will pass through Yumen Pass by the end of the year!"

Passengers waiting around immediately flocked to the bus and paid to buy it.

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Li Yunsheng felt an ominous premonition in his heart. .
