Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 349 Liaodong Railway
Sending Shen Wansan away, Zhu Biao couldn't wait to ask Zhu Han: "Uncle, Shen Wansan is a genius in business, but in my opinion, he is far behind you by more than a thousand miles, Uncle~ Can you teach me?" Let me say, how should this business develop? How should the court reconcile the problems arising from the business development?"

In the face of the studious Zhu Biao, Zhu Han also had the idea of ​​cultivating carefully. He repeated what he said to Zhu Yuanzhang about the troika theory of promoting the commercial development of Ming Dynasty, and then said in more detail: "Stimulate domestic demand, This is what the court should do. For foreign trade and local trade, we only need to achieve a balance between state-owned business and private business in Ming Dynasty. Policy is a way to reconcile the contradictions. The most important thing is to stimulate domestic demand. .”

Zhu Biao listened very carefully, and Zhu Han didn't just talk about it like he did when he explained to Zhu Yuanzhang, but he said in detail: "What is domestic demand? In my opinion, the basic thing is to serve the people and repair roads. At their doorstep, you don’t have to worry about the mud when it rains, and the roads are connected into a network, so that people can go to all parts of the country more conveniently. We will do what the people need, as long as it can improve the people’s living standards, but can’t To be profitable is what we need to do.”

After Zhu Han finished speaking, Zhu Biao said again: "Then we can set up shops on both sides of the road. Doesn't this allow merchants to come in? If the people are in a hurry, they can have a place to eat and stay at the top?"

"Well, that's the reason."

Zhu Han was very happy with Zhu Biao's idea of ​​drawing inferences from one instance, and said to Zhu Biao: "You can think of the idea of ​​building shops on both sides of the road, which shows that you have a broad vision and a certain overall view. The current Daming is laying the foundation Daming, when it is in your hands, Daming will surely be able to take off, Biaoer works hard, the future of Daming is yours, I am optimistic about you."

"..."

Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed to be praised by Zhu Han.

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he had never received these praises, and he was hit everywhere, which made Zhu Biao doubt his ability, so he studied harder, asked the ministers of the DPRK and China for advice, and worked hard to improve himself.

But today, Zhu Han said that he has a broad vision... Zhu Biao was embarrassed, but at the same time he couldn't believe it. He just said to Zhu Han: "Uncle, there are many things I didn't do well, and I need to learn more in the future."

"Brother scolded you again, didn't he? Said that you can't do a lot of things well?"

Zhu Han looked at Zhu Biao, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he knew that he had guessed right. Zhu Han said to Zhu Biao: "Biaoer, don't listen to him. You live in a different environment. You should listen to what he says, but how do you do it?" You have to have your own opinion, and don’t take it to heart if he hits you.”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Han paused and asked Zhu Biao a question: "Do you know what are the basic requirements for a successful emperor?"

"???"

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "Open up your voice and actively accept advice? Do you have people in your heart?"

"No."

Zhu Han shook his head, and said to Zhu Biao: "Being able to live longer without becoming dizzy is the basic condition for being a good emperor."

If Zhu Di’s son Zhu Gaochi and grandson Zhu Zhanji could live another ten years, they wouldn’t end up like that. The Ming God of War Zhu Qizhen did something wrong in the first half of his life, and there is still a chance to change it in the future. How many years?
Zhu Biao was confused when he heard Zhu Han's words. Zhu Han patted Zhu Biao's shoulder: "The body is the capital of everything. You should have a good body, instead of reading at night and overdrawing your life."

"My dad he..."

Zhu Biao just wanted to use Zhu Yuanzhang as an example, but was interrupted by Zhu Han directly: "Your father is not a normal person, and you are growing up now, so you can't learn from him."

Therefore, during the period when Zhu Yuanzhang was away, although Zhu Biao went to bed early and got up early, he did not sit in the palace every day, but was driven by Zhu Han to exercise. The noble children, Zhu Han asked them to exercise with Zhu Biao.

You must exercise for two hours a day, otherwise you will never be able to work.

The officials were very unhappy seeing Zhu Han treating Zhu Biao like this.

He is the future prince, the head of all officials, how can he be indulged in fun all day instead of devoting himself to handling political affairs?

Zhu Han is ruining the future prince!

As a result, many officials began to play, and even wrote letters to Zhu Yuanzhang in Liaodong, denouncing Zhu Han's behavior of biasing Zhu's mark. All the memorials were sent back by the cabinet.

play?

Play a fart!

Zhu Biao went to exercise, but governing the court and managing the local affairs all fell to the cabinet and six departments, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of the Ministry. Zhu Biao is willing to delegate power, and the officials are happy, and you are still playing a fart!
Moreover, I can clock in and leave work on time every day, which is much more comfortable than when I was with Boss Zhu.

When I was an official with Zhu Yuanzhang, I had to worry every day, for fear of being beheaded by Zhu Yuanzhang. But as an official with Zhu Biao, I don’t have to worry all day long, and I can clock in and go to get off work on time every day. Why is such a good prince being criticized?

Hit them all back!
Zhu Biao is willing to delegate power, and the cabinet officials are full of enthusiasm, and their ability to handle government affairs has improved a lot compared to when Zhu Yuanzhang was there. This feeling of being in power is really cool.

Whoever dares to attack Zhu Biao, whoever dares to attack Zhu Han, will be the enemy of the entire court cabinet and the six ministers, each of whom will be dealt with.

Faced with this situation, Zhu Biao was happy to see the results. According to Zhu Han's suggestion, he put his main energy on the handling of personnel relations and the structure of the court. Other matters can be solved by the courtiers. , basically do not intervene.

The court hall was full of joy, and all the officials thought of Zhu Biao's goodness one after another, thinking that Zhu Biao was the true son of heaven and the best heir of Zhu Yuanzhang.

But Zhu Han knows that Zhu Biao is not as modest and gentle as he appears. He is the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and his inner "hardness" is in the same line as Zhu Yuanzhang. If the minister regards him as a soft persimmon, it will be a real hit It's on the board.

After Zhu Yuanzhang left, Zhao Min also sorted out her work ideas and was ready to go out to work. She set her sights on the spinning mill.

Today is still the stage where men are superior to women. Although in very few places, many women have come out of their homes to work in some spinning mills built by businessmen, but only a small part of them, most of them are because of the conditions at home. It is extremely difficult, or the man in the family died, and in order to take care of the children, he had to go out to earn money to subsidize the family.

The vast majority of women still use spinning machines to spin yarn at home, and then take it out and sell it, which will save a lot of time to go out.

What Zhao Min has to do is to lure those women who work at home to carry out textile work in the factory. In Zhu Han's words: everyone working together can improve efficiency and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

This is another reform by Zhu Han. Now the ratio of male to female in the population of Ming Dynasty is about 1:1. Even if all the men go out to work, there are nearly [-] million women who cannot carry out large-scale operations. For the sake of Ming Dynasty With rapid development, Zhu Han focused on these women. Even if only half of the women went to work in the factory, this would be a huge improvement.

After Zhao Min understood Zhu Han's thoughts, she began to actively prepare. When the preliminary work was almost done, she was going to talk to Zhu Han about this matter to see if she could do it.

However, Zhu Han didn't accept it, but shirked it on the grounds that he was too busy and had no time.

How could Zhao Min not understand that Zhu Han was so busy, he clearly wanted to find Liu Sanniang himself.

She couldn't understand why Zhu Han took Liu Sanniang so seriously.

It was clearly something he could solve with a single sentence, so Liu Sanniang had to make the decision.

"This weirdo!"

Although Zhao Min made complaints, he still had to go to Liu Sanniang obediently.

When Liu Sanniang saw Zhao Min, she didn't have a good face, and said directly: "I have lived at home for so long, I thought you would never come to see me."

"..."

Zhao Min opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

It was so embarrassing.

The outside of the male lead and the inside of the female lead, it stands to reason that Zhao Min should go to see Liu Sanniang when she came to Ying Wang's mansion, but because of her inner embarrassment and stubbornness, she always wanted to avoid Liu Sanniang.

However, Liu Sanniang's straightforwardness also relieved Zhao Min of a certain amount of psychological burden. She said to Liu Sanniang, "Sanniang, I didn't intend to avoid you, but what I did before made me ashamed to face it. Now that I know I was wrong, I am here to apologize to Sanniang."

"Sorry?"

Liu Sanniang pretended to be very surprised, and said to Zhao Min: "Didn't you come to me for something? Why do you want to apologize?"

"I……"

Zhao Min was choked by Liu Sanniang again, and Liu Sanniang knew what she was doing.

Did Zhu Han tell her?

Zhao Min was choked by Liu Sanniang twice in a row, and her mentality had completely exploded. Her previous preparations were now in vain, so Zhao Min had to adjust her breathing to clear her mind: "Sanniang, I'm here to see you , I do have something to look for you, but that is for the future, the most important thing I should do now is to apologize to you, and His Royal Highness... I am sorry for him. "

"The previous things have nothing to do with me. Since you want to apologize to the King of England, why don't you go to the King of England?"

Liu Sanniang looked at Zhao Min, and said to her: "You still want to understand why you came to see me, and come to me again, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to complete the task entrusted to you by the King of England."

"..."

After leaving Liu Sanniang's room, Zhao Min, whose mind was muddled, had a little room to think.

I... Am I being tricked by Zhu Han and Liu Sanniang?
……

After Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in Yanjing, he did not stay in Yanjing for too long. In order to strengthen his rule over the north, Zhu Han and him formulated many strategies. The development in the south of Yanjing was good, and Zhu Yuanzhang could not find any faults.

After leaving Yanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang went to Liaodong.

In Liaodong, a railway line from east to west has begun to be built. In the port of southern Liaoning, ships carrying iron ore are transported one after another. Countless iron ore is melted into iron rails at the port, and then carried on through the rails. transportation.

Zhu Yuanzhang went to Liaodong for this railway.

Li Wenzhong, accompanied by him.

Zhu Yuanzhang had experienced the train, and it was the first time for Ma Xiuying and Li Wenzhong to ride.

The first feeling of the two is: convenient!Then there's comfort.

In the train, I want to sleep and sleep, I want to eat and eat without being exposed to the wind and sun, which aroused the praise of Ma Xiuying and Li Wenzhong.

Hearing the praise from the people closest to him, Zhu Yuanzhang was very proud, and said with a smile: "Qiwu helped us invent the train. When the railways are all over Daming, the people of Daming can travel three thousand miles a day. Think about it." Go wherever you want, the current railway is the main artery running from east to west, from Liaodong to the grassland, and then to the Chaer Khanate, if possible, we will build the railway to Rome!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's rhetoric made Ma Xiuying's eyes sparkle, and she couldn't help saying: "This train has really changed our Ming Dynasty. Sitting on the train is no different from being on the ground. You can walk freely in the carriage and eat... ...This is Qiwu's contribution, and I will definitely reward Qiwu when I return to Yingtian."

The reward Ma Xiuying said was to cook a few more meals for Zhu Han. In Ma Xiuying's opinion, no high-ranking official could be as rich as the meals she cooked for Zhu Han, and Zhu Han liked this kind of reward very much.

"Yeah, thanks to Qiwu."

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that Zhu Han contributed a lot to Ming's success today, but Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little dissatisfied: "However, we feel that there are still many good things that have not been brought out during the Seventh Five-Year Plan. This kid is too lazy. When we return to Yingtian, we will surely Twist his head and see what good things he can come up with."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the train to Liaodong and checked the meals of the workers in the smelter.

In the smelters in Liaodong, [-]% of the craftsmen were captives. They were Mongolian Yuan people, Jurchen tribes, Wodao and Gaoli Bangzi. These people actually had no status.

The person in charge of the smelter told Zhu Yuanzhang that although these people were captives, they were not treated badly in terms of food. As long as they worked honestly and did not cause trouble, they would be given the status of ordinary people.

Of course, these captives are doing the most dangerous work. Digging coal mines and iron mines can easily cause landslides. Thousands of captives are buried underground every year. , Han people basically don't know how to work in the mines.

The person in charge of the factory told Zhu Yuanzhang that the reason for landslides and other issues is that the current safety measures are not fully prepared. Many things are done for the first time, so they can only cross the river by feeling the stones and encounter problems. To solve the problem, just take this opportunity to solve the dangers of mining...

After explaining so much, I am still worried that Zhu Yuanzhang will go crazy. Who in the world does not know that Zhu Yuanzhang loves the people like a son?If Zhu Yuanzhang knew that so many people would die, it would not be something a person in charge of a factory could bear if he got mad.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this was Zhu Han's idea, and he didn't know why Zhu Han had so much hostility towards the Jurchen, Koryo, and Japanese devils, and killed so many people...Zhu Yuanzhang also feels distressed, but think about these people They are not Han Chinese, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood is a little smoother.
