Exploit the money of the nations.

It's a very apt description.

For example, in the case of spirits, high-purity distilled spirits are definitely stronger than ordinary water wines, as long as you like to drink, who can't come to drink?

There is also the seasoning, if you are a little particular about eating, you have to keep some at home.

Once they got used to the seasoning, those noble lords never left.

Yang Mu deeply understood this, and could almost predict that all countries, from princes and nobles to ordinary people, would definitely have a great sense of dependence on these two things.

In fact, not only that, sugar foods such as sucrose are also scarce in this world, and people will definitely love them, but because their production process is very simple, it is easy to be plagiarized and imitated, so Yang Mu did not take it into account.

After all, monopoly is the best means of profit.

One step ahead, it is the silver of snowflakes.

Perhaps, the people of this world do not understand what a trade surplus is, but they will definitely know that the money in their pockets is constantly flowing into Cangguo, and then used by Cangguo to buy strategic materials such as war horses and grain, various processing raw materials, and then sell them to them.

If this cycle continues, the country will become richer and richer, and those countries that only know how to buy will become poorer and poorer.

"Your Majesty, the construction of the capital is a major matter of a country, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, I am afraid that they will not be able to do it." Fan Hongji reports.

"It's okay, this matter is not very anxious, money and other things, after the alliance, there will naturally be them, then the Jin Kingdom's hundred-year savings, even if it leaks a little from between the fingers, it is enough for us to build a capital, what I am most worried about now is the quality of your construction."

Kong Shangxian and Fan Hongji were a little puzzled, they have always built the capital, isn't it just to choose a good address and expand the city?

Build it however it wants, and it's hard for anyone else to cut corners in the construction of the capital's palace?

"Please also make it clear to Your Majesty." Fan Hongji said.

"The ordinary capital is just a larger city, but what I want to build is to replace the Jin city and build the first city in the world."

The first city in the world?!

The eyes of the two prime ministers were full of weirdness.

Your Majesty the Emperor, is this serious?

How dare you say it!

Jincheng is the first city in the world.

It was not built at one time, after hundreds of years, large and small ten times of expansion and renovation, moved away two hills, the outside of the river and road, etc., are on the original basis, continuous excavation and renovation after the formation of today's scale, it is an insurmountable gap in the world's cities, but also the benchmark of the major cities, which country in the world does not want to build the capital to such a scale?

But have the countries reached?

The Chu City of Chu has reached this level in terms of the size of the city, but it is only in the size of the city, whether it is the prosperity or the grandeur of the architecture, it is far from reaching this scale.

And now, Yang Mu actually said that he would build the new capital into the first city in the world.

Isn't this a pipe dream?

"Are you questioning me?" Yang Mu took a sip of tea and asked lightly.

"The ministers don't dare. Lao Chen thinks that sooner or later, my Cangguo will be able to develop the capital into a state comparable to that of Jincheng, but it is just ...... Lao Chen believes that this matter should not be too urgent, and it will develop step by step, which is more in line with the national conditions of our country. ”

"Isn't that still questioning? Okay, you don't have to explain, of course I know that this idea sounds scary and unrealistic in your eyes, but as far as the current situation is concerned, Cangguo is capable of building a city that is more powerful than Jin City. ”

The two men glanced at each other, silent, and at the same time a little puzzled.

In their eyes, His Majesty the Emperor is not an unrealistic person, even if he captures Jincheng, he is a little floating, and he is not too carried away.

The only thing that can be explained may be that he is really very confident in this matter, as His Majesty the Emperor said.

"As the two Aiqing said, my Dacang's current national strength is not very optimistic, but don't forget, we have the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology, since the establishment of the past six years, how many talents have been cultivated for my Dacang? How many good things have been developed? Didn't the two of them think about putting what they had learned into practice and putting these talents and technologies into building cities? ”

"Your Majesty means ......"

"Now, there must be some students who have taken both mathematics and physics, right? Both disciplines have a lot to offer in terms of building, and it won't be difficult for me to impart some knowledge about building cities. Besides, we have cement, the city walls and roads, and some buildings in the city, are they still problems? ”

The words made the two prime ministers suddenly open their mouths, and they seemed to understand, but after thinking about it carefully, they didn't seem to be in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, are all the houses made of cement?" Kong Shangxian asked.

"The construction of the new capital must be made of the best materials, not only cement, but also fired red bricks, ordinary houses can be built with two floors, and the roof is covered with rubble, but large buildings must have three or four floors, even after a hundred years, they are still strong and solid."

Red Brick ......

The two prime ministers silently read a sentence in their hearts, and then thought about it.

The so-called red bricks, in fact, have been studied together when the cement is fired, but this kind of thing is too brittle to pave the pavement, and the houses are too small, not as warm in winter and cool in summer as green bricks, so it is not popularized.

Now His Majesty the Emperor has pointed out that all future new ones will be built with this kind of easy-to-fire red brick, which makes them a little suspicious.

The reason why ordinary people choose to build houses with green bricks, in addition to being warm in winter and cool in summer, is because it has better adhesion with the general mud and is not easy to collapse.

If you use green bricks, you can build a two-story building, for example, on both sides of the street, which is basically this structure.

However, if red brick and cement are really combined, it is really possible to build a two- or three-story house, which is far stronger than the one-story house in the market today.

Moreover, there is another point that red bricks build houses, which are incomparable to green bricks and adobe bricks.

That's fire prevention.

Due to the relationship of materials, whether it is a green brick house needs a lot of wood to make a connecting structure, and adobe bricks also need a lot of thatch, it is not very strong and easy to catch fire, every year thousands of houses are destroyed in the fire, once the house in the city is on fire, it is even worse, and the fire spreads, and even half of the city can be burned, which also gives rise to the profession of the husband, which is used to remind and monitor the fire.

Red bricks can minimize the possibility of fire. （）
