Chapter 235 Public Funds Privately
In this way, Zhao Rui did not say a word and successfully passed the future development plan.
Zhao Rui turned his head and smiled at Chen Xuan, and the tacit understanding between the two was silent. Today was not meant to be discussed with the people below, but it was just a notice.
Now that no one has any objections, Zhao Rui resigned from the palace and took people to the allocated land for construction.
Yao Xianchi retreated to the dynasty and was stopped on his way home by his colleagues, who expressed their disappointment with Yao Xianchi and worries about the future.
"Lord Yao, how could you stand up and support today! With such a proposal that costs the people and money, who knows if he Zhao Rui has any selfish intentions! ”
Now, although Zhao Rui is a very human minister, coupled with his own means, no one is invincible at all, but Yao Xianchi can't go up and kneel and lick it!
"Huh...... You don't understand......"
Yao Xianchi didn't defend himself, but laughed first, because this matter is not as simple as everyone imagined, because Yao Xianchi is an extremely strategic person, and the correctness of the strategy naturally requires a lot of information, and Yao Xianchi now has a clear understanding of the foundation of the treasury.
"I calculated that the workshop park that Zhao Rui wants to build will cost at least 10 million taels of silver, and our treasury, hehe...... It's only more than two million taels, and the money is not enough......"
"Oh, oh......"
After Yao Xianchi's awakening, these ministers finally realized that Yao Xianchi's approval was just another kind of embarrassment.
At that time, the construction will be unfavorable because of the problem of money, then the reason is still Zhao Rui's problem, which is caused by his inconsiderate national conditions and too big a step!
Yao Xianchi praised on his face, but in fact he was secretly waiting to see the joke, and everyone compared his thumbs up, praising Yao Xianchi for being really smart.
So, many ministers are waiting to see Zhao Rui's jokes!
On the other side of the open space, the people brought by Zhao Rui were cutting down trees, leveling the ground, and the notice of recruiting people was also posted.
The construction work has been carried out at the fastest speed, in full swing.
Because it is now the rainy season, there is a downpour from time to time, so Zhao Rui found a lot of oilcloth to ensure that the goods are not wet by the rain.
When Zhao Rui was busy working, Chen Xuan came over alone, looking at his hesitant face Zhao Rui should still have something difficult, but when he heard that it was a matter of money, Zhao Rui immediately waved his hand so that he didn't have to worry, he didn't have anything else, there was still gold in the house!
Subsequently, Zhao Rui mobilized a large number of convoys to transport gold to serve as construction costs, and then above the court, although Zhao Rui did not participate, Chen Xuan praised Zhao Rui's selfless measures and asked everyone to learn from Zhao Rui's dedication.
Yao Xianchi was dumbfounded, and the other ministers who were waiting to see the joke were also extremely surprised, they couldn't imagine that the construction of the park was actually Zhao Rui who invested a lot of money?
Many ministers regretted their mistakes at this time, but only Yao Xianchi was still spinning his brain, no, no, why is Zhao Rui so kind, there must be his purpose!
Yao Xianchi thought for a while, and sadly found that he couldn't find any actual cases of Zhao Rui harming Jiaozhi.
No, Zhao Rui is a Song man, why is he so concerned about the development of the Chen Dynasty? There must be something I haven't found out!
So Yao Xianchi decided at the moment that he had to go to the field to investigate.
After the early dynasty, Yao Xianchi and several ministers who had the same idea got on the sedan chair and went straight to the park site.
Some of the trees here have been cut down clean, and there is no shade from the trees, and the moisture on the ground is rising from the sun, which makes people very hot and uncomfortable.
Yao Xianchi looked left and looked, the workers' work was in full swing, obviously there was no arrears of wages, and even mung bean soup and sour plum soup were prepared for them to drink, but there was no sign of hard labor.
Yao Xianchi was very self-controlled, and refused to admit that his judgment was wrong, and he kept checking the scene.
However, Zhao Rui was also inspecting the construction situation at this time, and the two collided head-on, and Yao Xianchi couldn't hide if he wanted to.
"Taishi is doing what he does, he is still patrolling in such a hot weather, and the five bodies that the lower officials admire are on the ground!" Yao Xianchi bowed, and first threw it over.
"Oh, Lord Yao! Why praise me, you are not the same, although the construction of the park has nothing to do with you, but you are worried about it, and you came to check it out, and you are also concerned about the development plan! By the way, there are these adults......"
Zhao Rui's smiling appearance made Yao Xianchi and the ministers tremble, this is Zhao Rui obviously aware of Yao Xianchi's intentions, how can this be good......
Zhao Rui then said: "You don't know, although there is no shortage of labor on my side, but because of the lack of supervisors, I am very distressed!" Why don't a few adults help supervise the work here, and the work of the exterior wall will be handed over to you! Don't let those workers make any mistakes, it can be regarded as contributing to the development of the Chen Dynasty together! ”
"This ...... Well......"
Who dares to rebel against Zhao Rui's words? So Yao Xianchi and several ministers had to stay on the construction site with a sad face, facing the sun and watching the workers build the wall.
With these people, Zhao Rui was obviously much more relaxed, and specially told Chen Xuan that these people were here to help, and now the Chen Dynasty was peaceful and there was no war, so Chen Xuan happily responded to the leave of several ministers to help with the construction. I admired in my heart that Zhao Rui had a way, and he could summon the minister to help him.
Zhao Rui and Chen Xuan were happy to hear this, but Yao Xianchi was much more miserable.
He was originally a counselor, white and clean, and after these days of overseeing the exterior wall, he has been tanned like a briquette.
The other ministers don't respect Yao Xianchi so much now, and they all blame him for taking the lead and letting these people suffer together, and now the ministers are also tanned.
It was easy to wait for the construction of the exterior wall to be completed, including Yao Xianchi, and several ministers were covered in mosquito bites of pus, and they were all sick when they went back.
Ma De, if you don't listen to Yao Xianchi's nonsense in the future, several ministers feel that they have been pitted by Yao Xianchi, and they all want to cry without tears.
For Zhao Rui, the construction of the façade is just a small episode in many projects, and it can also be said to be the most basic construction.
The most important thing is the ammunition production line, which is now transported over long distances so that it can be stably produced here.
After the exterior wall was built, because of the importance of the ammunition production line, the first factory was used for the production of ammunition.
The so-called strength of more people is like this, only on the second day, the brick structure of the ammunition workshop has been built, although the wall will not be painted yet, Zhao Rui can't wait to ask someone to move the equipment in.
Not for anything else, now that there is a steam engine, Zhao Rui is bent on changing the electric equipment to a steam engine drive, which is mainly to save himself a trip to modern diesel transportation.
Secondly, it can be regarded as freeing the generator, which can be used for refining metals in Wanyazhou, and when there is pure copper wire, then the self-made generator will not be too far away.
For the transformation of ammunition production machinery, Zhao Rui is still quite confident, only need to remove the motor, and then replace it with a set of gears suitable for speed.
At the beginning, there was a craftsman named Ma Tengyun who was good at maintenance and repair, and everyone listened to him, so Zhao Rui took Ma Tengyun as the main person in charge of transforming the machine.
After the exchange, Ma Tengyun figured out the operation of the steam engine, and immediately said that there was no problem with the transformation, but the gear of the right size was needed, so Zhao Rui ordered him to calculate and measure, and then hand over the drawings to Wanyazhou for production and smelting.
On the other side, all the carpenters gathered at Huang Xiu's side, and Huang Xiu gave them separate sites and made textile machine parts in groups according to Zhao Rui's instructions.
Because the parts of the three textile machines are disrupted, they don't know which parts are on which machine, which greatly ensures that the confidentiality of the textile machine will not be leaked.
Now these machines in the textile industry are in this era, and the high technology on the earth can bring huge and extraordinary benefits to any force, so Zhao Rui has to be cautious.
Now the machinery that Huang Xiu has improved seems to be more efficient, not only the loom has more spindles, but also the loom has better stability and weaving width.
These are all done by Huang Xiu alone, with the textile saint of this era, to a large extent, Zhao Rui's energy consumption has been reduced, and it is very wise for Zhao Rui to hand over the textile machine to Huang Xiu for management.
At the same time, a large amount of real money and silver were distributed from Zhao Rui's hands, and the people of Jiaozhi suddenly became rich, and the people of other counties heard that there was money to be made, and they also went to Thang Long to make a living.
During the period from the planning of the workshop to its completion, the tax revenue around Thang Long has risen, the population of Thang Long City has increased, and the number of small traders has increased, and the most unexpected thing is that the birth of the population has also increased, and these external manifestations are undoubtedly brought by Zhao Rui's workshop.
So far, the ministers of the Chen Dynasty have really believed Zhao Rui.
Because this huge workshop has been formed, Zhao Rui really did not break his promise, and did not use the silver taels from the Jiaozhi treasury at all, but Thang Long gained huge benefits because of the construction of the workshop!
At that time, all ten steam engines shipped from Wanya Prefecture were put to use, and newly made steam engines were constantly being shipped.
For Zhao Rui, the steam engine will only be insufficient, and when it is not satisfied, the current workshop covers a huge area, and no matter how many steam engines can make it a real productivity.
Besides, even if there is a surplus in the future, you can find another city for planning and production, which may drive the prosperity of another city.
In fact, what others don't know is that the textile workshop on Thang Long's side is just built by Zhao Rui to solve domestic demand, in fact, the large-scale textile workshop he planned is in Ampang State.
It was the centre of the sea, and it was ideal for the development of the textile industry, and then a large amount of trade could be carried out by cargo ships, and the vast quantities of gold and silver from all over the world could be looted, and then brought back to upgrade the production machinery to make better products.
