Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 443 Brother-in-law Ouyang can’t do it! (Please subscribe!!)
"Brother-in-law Ouyang can't do it!"

Zhu Biao shook his head quickly.

He was also quite helpless inside. He really wanted to tell the truth of the matter verbatim, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable to hold it all in like this.

But Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a death order not to tell Ouyang Lun that King Jin and King Ning were going to rebel, for fear of being embarrassed.

According to Ouyang Lun, if Zhu Yuanzhang directly gave King Jin and King Ning a good beating, wouldn't this be equivalent to declaring to the whole world that his two younger brothers were rebelling? This would definitely not work. The other one was to "give them to him" He was responsible for the profits and losses of his property, and when he was severely beaten by society, only then did he realize what it meant that the pot was made of iron." Does this mean that King Jin and King Ning should be independent from the Ming Dynasty?

Even if this method was really useful, he wouldn't dare tell Zhu Yuanzhang! Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely go berserk!

So the method Ouyang Lun proposed might be feasible for ordinary businessmen, but it would not work for Zhu Yuanzhang.

"No? How could it not work?" Ouyang Lun looked confused, "Is it possible that this friend of yours has something to hide?"

Zhu Biao said helplessly: "Brother-in-law Ouyang, although this friend is just a businessman, he is still quite prestigious in their local area. If this kind of matter is dealt with openly, it will damage his prestige, so he wants a method that can be more concealed." The last time you taught orphans a financial blow, it was very hidden."

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun smiled and nodded, "Haha, I understand, I understand, we are all decent people, we all want to save face, don't you want everyone to know!"

"Yes, that's the truth!" Zhu Biao affirmed: "Brother-in-law Ouyang, you have a better way."

"I have to think about this." After Ouyang Lun said that, he lowered his head and started thinking.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao stopped interrupting and stood aside quietly waiting.

after awhile.

"There is."

Ouyang Lun raised his head with a smile on his face.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, please tell me what we can do?" Zhu Biao asked quickly.

"If you want to completely solve this problem, you have to make your friend's son realize his mistake. This is the core of any method!" Ouyang Lun said thoughtfully.

"Yes, that's what my friend means. After all, they are father and son. As long as his son can recognize his mistakes and promise that he will never have the idea of ​​establishing his own business in the future, then he is still willing to forgive and reconcile the father and son! Zhu Biao said with a frown: "But this is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do. If the communication is not in place, it will scare my friend's son, and he may even do some extreme behavior. This will not be worth the gain." ”

"Brother Prince, you also have a deep understanding of this matter!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "It is difficult to persuade people. The best way is to let them analyze it themselves. Only in this way can they... You will firmly believe in the results of your analysis, so that your friends will not take drastic actions while realizing their mistakes. "

"Let them analyze it themselves?" Zhu Biao was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, "Brother-in-law Ouyang, this is not easy! We don't know magic, and we can't influence their thoughts at all!"

Ouyang Lun smiled slightly and said, "Brother Prince, there is something you haven't realized yet."

"whats the matter?"

"Except for this person's real senses of birth, old age, illness and death, other feelings are determined by the environment and the news he receives." Ouyang Lun continued: "This is like telling me that you have a friend who needs help, and Tell me some information about your friend, then I will have an idea of ​​your friend!"

"So, if we use some means to let your friend's son know some information and let him draw the conclusion we want, can we solve the problem?"

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Biao was shocked, "Can you still do this?"

"This is called psychological suggestion. Through deliberate actions and messages, the target can draw conclusions on his own. For example, does Zhuge Liang know?" Ouyang Lun asked.

"A counselor from the Three Kingdoms period naturally knows."

"It is said that when Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were fighting, Zhuge Liang was sitting alone on the top of the city, playing the piano leisurely. The city was obviously full of old, weak, sick and disabled, but he let Sima Yi come out and there was a heavy ambush in the city, so he could retreat and avoid a battle. Failure, this is the practical application of psychological suggestion!" Ouyang Lun explained.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, I seem to understand!" Zhu Biao nodded, then looked at Ouyang Lun, "But how should I implement it specifically for my friend's son?"

"Well, after all, I don't know much about the situation of your friend and son, so I can't tell you the details!"

"Before, you and Mao Youde launched a financial attack on your friend's son. Although it suppressed his desire to start his own business, he still has some strength after all. You can continue to attack him, but of course you have to find a suitable one. Just the reason.”

"You need to figure out the rest by yourself. Unless you tell me all the information about your friend, maybe I can give you a more specific method!"

Of course Zhu Biao hoped to get more specific solutions from Ouyang Lun, but Zhu Yuanzhang had given a death order and he was not allowed to tell the truth to Ouyang Lun.

Now that he has the direction, all that's left is for him to go down and think about it.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, you have helped me analyze so much, which has moved me very much. I will handle the rest by myself!" Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Okay, when you talk to smart people, you don't need to be so specific. If you have any questions next, you can just keep asking me." Ouyang Lun was too lazy to continue asking. If Zhu Biao wasn't Anqing's eldest brother, the relationship He didn't bother to help if he could get along with her.

"Hmm, then I'll go back first." Zhu Biao wanted to think carefully now.

"Brother Prince, please don't leave yet. I just have something that I need your help with!" Ouyang Lun called to Zhu Biao.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!" Thinking that Ouyang Lun taught him methods and gave him advice, Zhu Biao felt a little guilty. He originally wanted to help Ouyang. Ouyang Lun brought up some things, so he didn't have to ask.

"It's like this. Now that overseas trade has begun, the Ming Dynasty's navy is becoming increasingly insufficient. I thought about it and decided to expand the size of the navy." Ouyang Lun said.

"The Ming Dynasty Navy has indeed been expanded. I have recently received many reports from officials in coastal towns. They said that although Dongying Chaozi has surrendered, there will still be Japanese pirate fleets attacking our Ming Dynasty merchant ships. Especially after the opening of the Hong Kong Village Trade Zone, the Ming Dynasty Navy Most of the force has gone to the South China Sea to escort, leaving places such as the Yellow Sea, Bohai Sea, and East China Sea without defenses." Zhu Biao nodded, "It is urgent to expand the Ming Dynasty Navy!"

"That's right. Currently, only Jieshi Shipyard can produce the 055 large drive. The warships produced by other shipyards in the Ming Dynasty are somewhat backward. Moreover, the new generation of 055 large drive will be replaced with steel plates, which requires higher shipbuilding technology. !" Ouyang Lun said slowly.

"Replace all the 055 drives made of steel plates. How much steel will it cost!?" Zhu Biao opened his mouth and looked shocked. "Brother Prince, you have hit the point. Now we have the ability to make the steel plate 055 drive, but due to steel smelting, ordinary iron can no longer meet our requirements." Ouyang Lun said solemnly: " So we need to make steel!"

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, tell me. What do you need me to do?" Zhu Biao said solemnly.

"Increasing steel production was written into the first five-year plan. Now it is a matter of execution. The first step is to establish at least two steelmaking plants to smelt iron ore and old weapons into high-quality steel. In terms of technology, You don’t have to worry, Kaiping Military Industry and Jieshi Shipyard will provide technical support!” Ouyang Lun said seriously: “What we need to do now is to determine where the two steelmaking plants are located, because many infrastructure projects require steel, so this matter Need to discuss with the Ministry of Industry.”

"Anqing and the others have just come back. I want to spend time with them, so I would like to ask the prince's brother-in-law to discuss with the officials from the Ministry of Works, and lead the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works to implement the two steelmaking plants."

After listening to Ouyang Lun's narration, Zhu Biao's expression gradually became clear and he nodded heavily, "Brother-in-law Ouyang, I understand this matter, just leave it to me."

After the two discussed, Zhu Biao left the clan's mansion, while Ouyang Lun stretched and smiled, "First go and massage and wash your feet and do some root care, and then go to find Anqing and the others."

Come out of the clan's mansion.

Zhu Biao has been thinking about one thing, and that is how to give his two brothers, King Jin and King Ning, enough reminders to let them know that they have done something wrong.

"Just ask someone to write a secret letter to the two of them?"

"No, no, it's so sneaky. The third and seventh lao won't believe it at all."

"Or go to Jin and Ning by yourself?"

"No way. As a prince alone, every move is being watched. What's the difference between going there in person and going there in person?"

"What should we do?"

"Forget it, let's finalize the steel mill matters first." Zhu Biao thought for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go to the Ministry of Industry first to finish the steel plant matters.

After taking only two steps, Zhu Biao stopped, causing the eunuch following him to bump into him.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, redeems his sins. This servant did not do it on purpose."

Zhu Biao didn't pay attention to the eunuch at all, but his eyes flashed, "The steel mill, iron ore mine, can start from this aspect!"

"Previously, through economic strikes, the food and other materials in the hands of Lao San and Lao Seventeen were severely reduced, but the impact of iron ore and iron tools was not big. After all, the people could not use so much iron, so the hands of Lao San and Lao Seventeen were It should still have a large amount of iron ore and iron products. If the Gujiang Iron Works is located in Taiyuan Prefecture and Ningzhou Prefecture, it will not only solve the iron ore problem in one fell swoop, but also solve the problem of the steelmaking plant. "

"Such an important hint, I believe that no matter how stupid Lao San and Lao Seventeen are, they can understand it!"

"You can use the excuse of building a steel mill to go to Shanxi and Ningbo in person, and no one can tell the problem!"

"good idea!"

Suddenly, Zhu Biao was stunned. He suddenly thought of a terrible thing.

"Could it be that brother-in-law Ouyang already knew all this? Did he arrange it like this on purpose?"

"Isn't it impossible? I didn't say anything?"

"Mao Youde was also watched by the Jinyiwei people all day long, and there was no sign of revealing it to brother-in-law Ouyang."

"If all this was arranged by brother-in-law Ouyang, then..."

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao's back felt a little chilly, "My father said that Ouyang's brother-in-law has many evil intentions, which is not unreasonable, and this way of handling it is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

The eunuch standing by the side was frightened when he saw Zhu Biao's uncertain expression, and asked quickly.

"It's okay, let's go to the Ministry of Industry. I'm going to do something big this time, so that my father can see him again!"

After Zhu Biao thought clearly, a smile appeared on his face. Then he waved his hand and led his men quickly towards the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

"Your Highness, please slow down. The imperial doctor said that your body should not be overworked!"

Great steelmaking! !
Not long after, word spread from the imperial court in the capital that the entire Ming Empire was going to start steel smelting.

When it comes to iron, everyone does not acquiesce, because iron is needed for daily use of hoes, iron pots, and knives. Of course, the most important thing for iron is to forge weapons and armor.

Many people are confused when they hear the word steel and can’t help but wonder what this steel is?
But when they heard that steel was stronger than ordinary iron, they suddenly understood.

For a time, on the North Zhili Stock Exchange, stocks such as Kaiping Military Industry and Jieshi Shipbuilding Industry rose in response. Then the mining and industries related to steel also became popular, driving the stocks to rise sharply!
"Haha! What am I talking about? Kaiping Military Industry is not simple just by the name. I bought it when it first came on the market. After so many years, it finally broke out!"

"How shameful! I also bought Kaiping Military Industry at the beginning, but it was a pity that I sold it later, otherwise I would have earned the money for a house directly."

"Although I did not buy Kaiping Military Industry, I did buy Jieshi Shipbuilding. I have been paying attention to Jieshichuan Shipyard from the beginning. It will definitely become the most powerful shipyard in the Ming Dynasty!"

While the stock market rose sharply, the imperial court's policies on "large-scale steel smelting" were also introduced one by one. First, the Exploration Department of the Ministry of Industry sent officials across the country to be responsible for exploring iron ore deposits in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, it was announced that two large-scale steel smelting would be established in the country. Steel mill!

The location of a large steelmaking plant has become a target of concern to many people, because according to past experience, once a large steelmaking plant is established, a large number of workers will be recruited. This kind of workers can be compared to those who build roads and bridges. Being a good worker means not only being paid well, but also being very stable, which is what many workers want to be.

After Zhu Biao signed each memorial, he went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
