Chapter 390 Traitor! Are you addicted to collecting money for taking classes? (Please subscribe!!)

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

Ouyang Lun was sitting on a chair, with a long table in front of him. There were several things on it, including a kid, a cup of tea, a gavel, and an incense burner with an incense stick.

All the civil and military officials stood obediently in front, while behind Ouyang Lun sat Zhu Yuanzhang, and beside Zhu Yuanzhang stood Zhu Biao and Wang Zhong.

Snapped--

Ouyang Lun picked up the gavel and smashed it down.

The crisp sound of wooden impact echoed throughout the hall.

The ministers who were still a little confused and in a trance woke up one after another.

"Then let's start class!"

As Ouyang Lun spoke, he put down the gavel and at the same time picked up the tea cup and lid. The hot steam came out and he took a sip happily.

"Well, I'm here to see my daughter. What's your business?" Zhu Yuanzhang muttered in his heart.

"To sum up, it can be divided into four aspects: military construction, infrastructure construction, agricultural promotion and support for new technologies!"

Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands, and all the officials also applauded.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first! Road building is the first step in infrastructure. When I was the magistrate of Kaiping County, the first thing I did was to build roads!" Ouyang Lun said with emotion: "If roads were not built, Kaiping would be The county will not develop so fast, and His Majesty will not come to Kaiping County."

Is this why you spent all the money from our treasury in less than half a month?

Baiguan: "."

"Agriculture is the same as military. I won't focus on it today. Agriculture courses will be offered at that time. Those who are interested can sign up. Those who sign up for military and agriculture at the same time will enjoy a 10% discount. If you purchase the course in a group, you can also get a 10% discount. Another 10% off, it’s quite a discount!”

self boasting!

"As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you must know how to spend money and spend it wisely. I am doing quite well now. After the money is spent, the future benefits can be seen with the naked eye. This is called management!"

"If you only do this in investment, you can only say that you are just getting started."

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, everyone in the hall couldn't help but become nervous and pricked up their ears.

"The title of our class today is called investment strategy!"

"How to go further?" Ouyang Lun smiled slightly, "It depends on agriculture and industry!"

"I've read all the plans you wrote one by one. I can't say they're bad, I can only say they're difficult to read. But fortunately, you have a good attitude. I can see that you put a lot of effort into writing the plans!"

"There is no way! The connection between Sichuan Province and the outside world is too weak. It will definitely not work if we don't build roads." Wang Yan said helplessly.

"Okay." Ouyang Lun nodded, "What is industry? Let's put it this way. Industry will be the starting point for my Ming Dynasty to go to heaven and earth, from the mainland to the deep blue, and from the earth to the universe!"

After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or the officials, their originally impetuous mood began to calm down.

"Do you want to fly in the sky? Do you want to chat thousands of miles away? Do you want to be in Beijing today and have breakfast in Beizhili tomorrow morning?"

"It is precisely because I see this that I am willing to grant you money. Those who don't even write a plan properly and just know how to ask for money naturally don't even have the qualifications to sign a loan contract with me! "

They could feel that Ouyang Lun was really teaching them brand-new governance knowledge, which was very different from the governance they had understood in the past. They listened more and more carefully and looked forward to the next content more and more.

Ouyang Lun smiled slightly, "If you already know this, wouldn't your IOU be written in vain?"

"With Mr. Wang's perspective, we should applaud him!"

At this point, Ouyang Lun paused for a moment, picked up the teacup again and took a sip.

I'll listen again. If you, Ouyang Lun, don't teach the lesson well today, I'll have to beat you up and take my jade ring back!

Zhu Yuanzhang: "."

"As long as industry is developed, these futures will be possible!"

But I have to say that he was indeed attracted by the cement road built by Ouyang Lun at the beginning. Now when he recalled the sight of the cement road, he was so shocked that he looked like a countryman entering the city.

Traitor! Are you addicted to collecting money for teaching courses?
Ouyang Lun dismissed the complicated expressions of the officials and continued: "Infrastructure construction, I personally think is the focus of Ming Dynasty's investment and development. Take Sichuan Province as an example. Mr. Wang came to me and cried. Grandpa told me Grandma asked me for money, and the guy who submitted it was to build a few highways from Sichuan Province to the outside world!"

"Building roads, bridges, and city walls is something that anyone who is an official would think of doing. After all, it is a very intuitive political achievement. How can we go further?"

"If you are willing to summarize the development of Beizhili, you can actually learn what I just said. What I will talk about next is the real paid content!"

Hear this.

After hearing Ouyang Lun's words, an official immediately asked: "Ouyang Prince Consort, the agricultural officials know that it is nothing more than letting the people farm the land well, but what is this industry? Why have I never heard of it?"

After speaking, Ouyang Lun took the lead in applauding.

"Of course, these are only the intuitive benefits brought by road construction. There are many invisible benefits. I will not explain them one by one. You need to summarize this in practice!"

As the person involved, Wang Yan was quite embarrassed.

"Ouyang Lun, stop the sales class and explain to me what industry is!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"The roads are open, the exchanges between the people will increase, and the caravans will travel more frequently and conveniently. All this will increase is tax revenue!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "In addition, each place can sell its own specialties, If the goods are sold further away, the money will be more.”

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was muttering in his heart, Ouyang Lun spoke again.

"I don’t need to say more about the direction of military construction. Everyone who knows it understands that national defense is the first foundation for national security development. If there is no stable and safe environment, everything else will be discussed. Regarding military construction, when the time comes, I will We can start a military topic, and interested colleagues are welcome to sign up for my class."

"In addition to your intentions, the plan you wrote is also worthy of recognition, and that is that the investment is in the right direction!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was the first to sneer.

"This is the same as the development of new technologies, so next we must support and encourage all new inventions and innovations. Some people may not be good at reading, but they are good at developing some new things, such as water wheel improvements and gun optimization. , such as fireworks turning into bombs, etc. Not only can we not think that this is a strange thing, but we must also encourage it!"

"You must remember one sentence, technological innovation is always the primary productive force!!"

Science and technology are primary productive forces! !

These words are deafening!
As Ouyang Lun's words fell, the entire Tai Chi Hall quickly fell silent. He kept reciting this sentence silently in his heart, and kept thinking about the meaning of this sentence. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

There are also ministers who are more direct.

"Consort Ouyang, can you explain in more detail what technology is the primary productive force!"

"Good work."

After that, the official saluted Ouyang Lun. This was not a salute from a subordinate to a superior, but a salute from a student to a teacher.

Someone took the lead, and other officials also saluted in unison. Ouyang Lun turned his head and glanced at the incense burner on Zhuo Shang. The incense on it had burned out and he fell silent.

Seeing that Ouyang Lun was silent and seemed unwilling to speak, this made everyone including Zhu Yuanzhang nervous.

Could it be that this kid wants to hide his secrets and doesn't want to continue teaching?

You’ve all heard this. It would be really uncomfortable if you don’t fully understand what technological innovation is!

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to speak, Ouyang Lun spoke first.

"Originally, after the incense is burned, this class will be over, but for the sake of your sincerity, I will tell you a few more words."

"Here you go, you'll have to pay extra for dragging me down."

Cough cough--

Upon hearing these two words from Ouyang Lun, all the civil and military officials were dumbfounded, and Zhu Yuanzhang almost lost his temper.

I thought you wanted to hide your secrets, but it turned out you wanted more money! !

Oh shit!

"If you add more money, just add more money. You should hurry up and say it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang urged angrily.

"I'm telling you, don't worry!" Ouyang Lun said calmly: "If you want to understand that technology is the primary productive force, I will give you a few analogies, and you should understand."

"Let me ask you, how did Beizhili develop?"

As soon as this question was asked, an official immediately opened his mouth to answer.

"Needless to say, of course they are building roads like crazy!"

"Is there anything else?" Ouyang Lun asked with a smile.

Other officials also spoke one after another.

"Organize people on a large scale to open up wasteland and cultivate land!"

"Go fishing!"

"Open the stock market!"

"Destroy the bandits!"

Even Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Establish various trading companies to develop trade."

,,,,
Hearing this, Ouyang Lun nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone has been studying the development model of Beizhili!"

"But you all just talked about the surface and didn't tell the real reason!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.

"Ouyang Lun, since you said we were just talking about the surface, then you should tell us the real reason!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily.

"Of course I have to say it."

“Someone just talked about building roads, so I want to ask everyone, where do you get the steel and cement used to build roads?”

This question alone stopped everyone in their tracks, and they all froze in place.

"It's good to build roads! You all know this truth, but why was it that I, Ouyang Lun, was the only one to build a flat and hard cement road in Kaiping County?" Ouyang Lun asked.

"Of course it's because you, Ouyang Lun, have mastered the method of making cement. If others don't master it, they won't be able to make it." Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

pop-

Ouyang Lun applauded, "Your Majesty, you are right, it's because I have mastered cement making technology!"

"In order to build cement roads, I not only mastered the cement production technology, but also explored the techniques of watering, steel bar production, detonators, etc. to build roads in the mountains. It is precisely because of these technologies that I can build roads in Kaiping County, while others It can’t be done, and until now, the Kaiping Cement Factory supplies cement for road construction throughout the Ming Dynasty. Kaiping County has become the richest county in the entire Ming Dynasty, and the Kaiping Cement Factory has a share of the credit!”

"This is the power of science and technology! This is the primary productive force. You can think about it, without the invention of cement, how long would it have taken to build a road like a cement road just relying on Ming Dynasty's own construction level?"

"The Qin Straight Road built by the Qin Dynasty was more than 800 kilometers long. Its craftsmanship was similar to the current cement road. It took people to build it for more than two years!"

"And the same 800-kilometer cement road can be completed in as little as half a year, and only one-tenth of the people will be used!"

"While others are still busy building roads, we are already galloping on new roads. Can you tell me whether the power of this technology is important? Is it powerful?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and the cultural relic officials were shocked by such an intuitive comparison.

"It really only takes less than half a year to build an 800-kilometer cement road?" Zhu Yuanzhang questioned.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't ask me this. You should ask your Minister of Industry. He should know best." Ouyang Lun said calmly.

brush--

Zhu Yuanzhang looked directly at the Minister of Industry.

"Your Majesty, the whole country is currently undergoing major construction of cement roads. Eight hundred kilometers in half a year is not a problem." The Minister of Industry said matter-of-factly.

"So fast? I didn't notice it before." Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely shocked.

"Your Majesty, the changes in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be rapid. You should go out for a walk when you have time, so that you will not fall behind easily." Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"Uh." Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched, looking at Ouyang Lun's mean smile, he really wanted to give him two words.

He did rarely go on patrol incognito during this period. I didn't expect that there have been such big changes outside. But I didn't go on patrol incognito, not because I wanted to watch you! !
Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang felt nostalgic for the days when Ouyang Lun was an official in Beizhili, and he would go to Beizhili for private visits every now and then. He could talk to Ouyang Lun, discuss state affairs, and wash his feet together without any scruples. .
"Hmph! Do I still need you to teach me?"

"Keep talking about you."

"Yes!"

Ouyang Lun nodded, "Some people just said that large-scale organization of people to open up wasteland, go fishing, open stock markets, and wipe out bandits were the reasons for the rise of Beizhili. If there are no good methods and tools for land reclamation, how can we quickly reclaim land? ? If you build a big ship, how can you go fishing in the depths of the sea? If there is no stock exchange mechanism, how can you open a stock market? If there are no red cannons, how can you wipe out all the bandits in Beizhili so quickly? "

"By the way, His Majesty also mentioned trading companies. This trading company is also a major feature of Beizhili. Both groups and individuals can set up trading companies, and they can also enjoy financial support from the government. When the trading companies become bigger, they can also go public for financing, and the trading companies provide employees with Buying insurance is also an innovation! Release the potential of rich human resources and create more value for the entire country!”

"In this way, Beizhili developed naturally, with more and more taxes, more and more money in the people's pockets, and gradually developed into what we see now!"

“These are all inseparable from technology and innovation!!”
