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

This time, Li Ming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhang Kuan, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, were summarizing the drawings.

Su Ran came here from the Hanlin Academy, of course, for the purpose of river repair.

"Sir." Li Ming raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

Su Ran said: "I just heard that Mr. Chen, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Mr. Li were discussing the matter of the river..."

Li Ming nodded and said to Su Ran:

"Yes, it's exactly what you said."

Zhang Kuan also looked at him with a smile, as if he already knew what Su Ran would say next.

Sure enough! Just listen to Su Ran continue to say:

"Since the two adults want to talk about river construction, I will say it directly."

"Oh?" Li Ming was quite interested.

"My lord, have you ever known that the construction of this canal already cost a huge amount of money."

"If the scale of repairs is expanded again, I'm afraid it will cost several times or even ten times the amount of money."

"Haha..." Zhang Kuan smiled, feeling that Su Ran could really pretend.

Others say Su Ran is smart, but now Zhang Kuan sees him as extremely stupid.

How dare you question the decisions of two ministers from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry?

I really don’t know whether I should say that he is brave, or should I say that he is stupid and ignorant?

Just listen to Zhang Kuan say: "When we come here with the emperor's orders, naturally we will not regard money as dirt."

Su Ran snorted coldly in her heart, but her face showed an expression of joy, and she quickly clasped her fists and said:

"The two adults are so righteous, I admire them very much, but I don't think it's worth investing such a huge amount of money.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"My lord, have you ever thought about where this money is going?"

Zhang Kuan said: "Of course it is to build canals."

Su Ran shook his head, "My lord, I misunderstood. This move is not about building a canal."

"Instead of building canals, what else can you do? Do you still expect this money to be used to build bridges and pave roads?"

Zhang Kuan said sarcastically.

Although Li Ming next to him didn't say anything, he obviously thought Su Ran was a joke.

This era is not like that of later generations, where you can build a road with just a few rocks or wooden boards.

Su Ran said: "Of course it is not building a dam, but there is another big deal."

"What big deal?"

Li Ming couldn't help but ask, seemingly curious.

Zhang Kuan is also very interested. After all, who can make more money from this kind of thing?

Su Ran said mysteriously:

"Two adults, let me tell you, I have a huge amount of money in my hands..."

"Are you kidding me? How could I believe your lies?"

Zhang Kuan immediately scolded.

Su Ran quickly waved her hand and explained:

"Sir, please don't be angry. What I said is absolutely true."

".||You should first tell me where your money comes from?"

Su Ran said: "Your Excellency, I don't know. An appalling thing happened in the capital recently."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Kuan also became curious.

"As far as I know, someone recently planned to build a large terminal specifically for transporting goods.

"What did you say?"

Zhang Kuan and Li Ming were shocked at the same time.

The dock is a top priority!

Especially in areas like the South where water conservancy facilities are relatively weak.

It is even more necessary to dock (promise).

And such a heavyweight dock.

A large amount of ship tax must be paid every month.

Otherwise, it will be impossible to maintain operation and purchasing.

Therefore, every dock has great power.

Ordinary people don't even think about it.

Even for wealthy families, it is not easy to build one unless the court supports it.

The imperial court's control over such large terminals was even stricter.

"Are you sure the information is accurate?"

"This is still false, I just received the news today.
