Wanli is still the emperor, and he has not been tempered by the civil officials, locked in the deep palace, and does not leave the house. What's more, it's just a small imperial grandson, and there is only a little bit of brocade guard to scratch his teeth.

Since Zhu Youxiao returned to Beijing, the snowflake-like twists and turns flew to Wanli, including both the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the officials of the Daoist Language, but most of them were minor officials of the seventh grade, and those bigwigs were hidden one by one, quietly watching.

Not surprisingly, these almost all the memorabilia of the General Administration Department were left unpublished, and no reply was received. Wanli has no way to take the civil official, and similarly, the civil official has no way to take Wanli, the pen of the civil official is not so hard, and he can force an emperor to deal with his grandson.

It's just that they can't make official punishments and reprimands, and the civil officials are not helpless, many rumors that were originally only circulated in the deep palace were instantly transmitted to the people, and many things were added to the vinegar, and some were even made into dramas by scholars who could write scripts, and they were sung everywhere.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao, the imperial grandson, became famous, starting from the capital, and slowly spread outward, all kinds of jokes about him appeared, although the name was changed, but there were many Xiucai and other scholars to explain. His notoriety slowly spread among the common people.

But that's all, it's just an interesting story for ordinary people to talk about after dinner, and no one really thinks that an eleven-year-old child can be so bad.

After coming back, Zhu Youxiao didn't pay attention to these, but only buried himself in developing himself, and proceeded step by step according to the plan in his heart.

After the war, he also carefully inquired about all the personnel involved in the war, absorbing the spark of their wisdom, and combined with these, he began to compile his own military system, improve the combat system, and train his own officers.

Although more than 200 people were small, he had done enough to make a complete troop shelf, and only after everyone had been trained did he plan to start recruiting 800 people.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Youxiao also specially went to see Wanli, planning to report everything he had done, but after meeting, Wanli went without mentioning his trip out of the palace this time, just pulled him to say homely, every time Zhu Youxiao wanted to mention it, he was diverted from the topic, and after a few times, Zhu Youxiao also understood what Wanli meant, not in this direction, just talking about the trivial things of life.

"Do whatever you want, no one will stop you." In the end, Wanli said such a sentence, which made Zhu Youxiao stunned. Without waiting for him to ask, Wanli waved his hand a little tiredly and went back to rest.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Youxiao still didn't understand what Wanli wanted to express, maybe it was just simple support, maybe there were others? He didn't figure it out, but since then, he is still used to recording everything he does in Liu Ruoyu's inner living notes, and then transcribing a copy to Wanli.

Whether it is useful or not, Zhu Youxiao did this, the thoughts of the superior are so strange, especially the emperor, you look for him every day, he thinks you are annoying, you don't look for him, he feels very lost, and if he is lost, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will go wrong. simply copied a record of the past, and let him see it or not.

Although Wanli said sincerely, Zhu Youxiao didn't dare to really believe it, whether it was a movie or a history book, the emperor is a kind of cautious creature, life does not come to an end, until the last second, they will never give up the power in their hands.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao will not really do anything so stupidly, such as developing new muskets, casting artillery, steelmaking, forging steel armor and other things, which must not be involved, otherwise he will be denounced and let Wanli know that even if he is the emperor's grandson at the moment, he will definitely be abolished.

So now what Zhu Youxiao can do is very limited, except for the current two hundred and twenty-three people, oh no, it is two hundred and twenty-four people, Zhang Shize was also thrown in by him after he came back. In addition to training the existing more than 200 people, he can only engage in economic and make money.

A month after he came back, Wang Wenyan established a sales network, and all the nearly 100,000 salt in the previous inventory were sold, and the net profit was more than 113,000 taels of silver.

It was also this experience of escorting silver that gave Zhu Youxiao an idea, that is, to build a road.

How bad the roads of the Ming Dynasty were, he really realized it this time, it was okay when people walked, except that the dust was a little bigger, there was nothing. Thirty Once the vehicle is on the road, it is really infuriating, potholes, and there is no better road. It could have been reached by walking in one day, but it took him three days.

If you want to get rich, build roads first. If the road is not repaired, even if he is armed with an army that has always been fully firearmed, he will not be able to transport it. And building roads, nothing is involved, only money and time are needed, and it just so happens that he is not lacking in these two things now.

And now it happens that there is a catastrophe in Beizhili, and there are homeless victims everywhere, and there is no shortage of manpower or anything, as long as you stutter, you can attract a large number of green people.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and it is up.

This shareholder style is very simple, it is cement. In Zhu Youxiao's view, as long as he has three things, he can walk sideways in the whole of China, one is cement, one is steel smelting, and the other is shipbuilding.

That's what he thinks, and that's what he does, and these three technologies are the most detailed and clearly recorded in his computer, and they are being used now.

The technology of cement is very simple, not to mention that he now has technical guidance, saving him the time to explore by himself. The main body of cement is limestone and clay, but with the addition of different materials and different calcination times, different properties can be obtained.

In just one week, he commanded his craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and the Imperial Palace to calcine out silicate cement, although it was only an ordinary standard, but in this era, there was nothing that could be destroyed.

From Tianjin to Beijing, there is convenient waterway transportation, but it is a special channel for water transportation, not everyone can use it, not to mention, Zhu Youxiao is not like taking the waterway, putting his own things under the control of others.

Moreover, thinking about it another way, it is inconvenient to place the firearms workshop and blast furnace steelmaking in the palace, so what about the Tianjin side and the salt field? The day is so close to Beijing, and when the concrete road is repaired, the four-wheeled carriage is used, and the full force is running, it is only a matter of three hours, and it will soon arrive.

Thinking of this from the construction of the road, Zhu Youxiao felt like a fish jumping out of the fish tank, an eagle flying into the blue sky, and felt that the world was so vast, as long as the location was placed in Tianjin, those things he wanted to do but did not dare to do, he could do it boldly and with confidence.

Thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao immediately went to Wanli.

"What? Do you want to build a road, and still build a road to Tianjin? After listening to his news, Wanli Deng felt incredible, and his original casual demeanor disappeared, replaced by infinite curiosity.

"There is a canal from Jingshi to Tianjin, and the waterway is convenient, what are you doing on the road to Tianjin?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled shyly, looking a little embarrassed, "My grandson has a salt farm over there, and there is salt over there, and I can't buy it there, so my grandson wants to get Jingshi to sell it." And Caoyun is intervening after all, and Sun Er doesn't want to make a place for them to attack. ”

As soon as he explained this, Wanli suddenly understood, the relationship between Zhu Youxiao and the civil officials, he was obviously very clear, as long as they really knew that their precious grandson had salt to walk on the canal, it would be strange that those civil officials who had nothing to do not seize the opportunity.

Wanli shook his head and said with a smile, "You little money fan, it's not good to be a banker, and you have to end up yourself." ”

"Grandpa Huang, please. The salt in Tianjin really can't be sold at a good price, the group of salt merchants bullied the grandson is a newcomer, desperately lower the price, there is really no good income. Zhu Youxiao didn't lie to this, since he left, the salt farm has produced some salt, plus the previous one, a total of more than 200,000 catties.

However, with so much salt, only 50,000 taels of silver were sold, and the average per kilogram of salt was only two taels of silver. The weight unit of the Ming Dynasty is very strange, one catty is sixteen taels, but one tael is ten coins, and one tael of silver is ten coins of silver.

The price of salt in the Ming Dynasty at this time was also very expensive, different from place to place, but it was roughly about four coins of silver, and this price was fully doubled. From this, it can be seen how much Zhu Youxiao's price has been suppressed, even if it is a wholesaler, it has been crushed.

As for the Jingshi, all kinds of businesses have always been the private land of the bigwigs of various forces in the DPRK and China, and the common people also eat official salt. However, Zhu Youxiao himself is a member of the ruling class, and he is still the imperial grandson at the top, so he is not afraid of these.

Wanli sent to the mine supervisors in various places, all the civil officials are opposed, from the central government to the enemy, from the officialdom to the people, but so what, no matter what kind of opposition, it is all the same, Wanli still goes his own way, relying on these eunuchs from all over the country, amassing great wealth.

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Although Wanli's promise was expected, but so easily, Zhu Youxiao was still overjoyed, he stood up, wrapped Wanli suddenly, and kissed him twice on the face.

Accidentally, his previous method of currying favor with Wanli came to use again. Regarding Zhu Youxiao's actions, the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting around glanced at them curiously, and then drooped down strangely, they had seen this kind of scene countless times before, but it was relatively rare for the grandson to get older recently.

"This kid." Wanli was startled, and then relaxed. He hasn't enjoyed this treatment since Zhu Youxiao was grounded, but he didn't expect to revisit it again this time.

Shaking his head, Wanli watched Zhu Youxiao leave the Qianqing Palace happily, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily hung a warm smile. It is Zhu Youxiao's casualness that makes him very favored, and in his body, Wanli really feels the happiness between family affection.
