Chapter 211: Selfishness

As the saying goes, people don't kill for themselves, and they must have a little selfishness in everything to be motivated and passionate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info those hypocrites who shout all day long for the benefit of the world and the people, Tang Ming is the one who is most unaccustomed to them.

Maybe there really is such a person in the world, but it's a pity that Tang Ming has lived two lives and has never met it until now. When **** also set up the archway so hypocritical that even a villain is not counted, this kind of person must be kept away, but unfortunately nine times out of ten in the world are unsatisfactory things, not how you want to be.

Tang Ming was a little depressed at the moment, a whole twenty carts of one million taels of silver, and half of them were forcibly taken away in the blink of an eye. Money, Tang Ming doesn't care, they are all people who have lived two lives, what else can't be seen, but who in this world would think that they have a lot of money?

If you can't be a Buddha, you can't go to the Elysian World, and people living in this mortal world can't be exempt from vulgarity, seven emotions and six desires, eating, drinking, Lazar and sleeping have to be complete, otherwise you can't be an adult. What kind of husband there is, what kind of wife there is, after all, they are always husband and wife, and there is no reason for their arms to turn out.

The queen directly took Tang Ming's 500,000 taels of silver, without even saying a word of thanks, and she didn't think she had taken much. This is unreasonable! I wanted to break my head to get this empty glove white wolf's means, and finally got such a little silver tael and was snatched away, and in the end, I didn't get the benefits.

didn't even say a word of thanks, the queen just dropped a sentence coldly: "Weihaihou, remember to pay 500,000 taels of silver next month, otherwise the mourning family will ask you!" ”

Look at what he said, in Tang Ming's opinion, he has become the queen mother's god of wealth, and he still has everything he wants. The benefits can't always be let others take advantage of them in vain, if there is a advantage, then he is not called Tang Ming, he should be called a fool.

Agricultural colleges, as the name suggests, are colleges that specialize in agriculture, including agricultural tools, seeds, and planting techniques, all of which must be developed. Many of the advanced techniques left by the ancestors have disappeared a lot due to the war and the change of dynasty, and in a short period of time, Tang Ming can teach the techniques and some simple agricultural tools, including what he knows about planting, to those teachers.

How to go after the end of the road depends on them to study and forge ahead, and the master leads the door to practice and depends on the individual. And this agricultural academy Tang Ming is not used to make money at all, if he relies on this to make money, he doesn't know how many times he will starve to death.

At this time, the most profitable and fastest money is naturally maritime trade, which is definitely a financial route not to be missed. Moreover, Tang Ming had planned early on, and he wanted to take this opportunity to make good use of these merchants of the Ming Dynasty to trade with the ancient dynasties, and by the way, also bring vitality to his Jeju Island.

Jeju Island's self-sufficiency is not enough, if it wants to truly develop, Tang Ming must rely on maritime trade to drive, and Daming is the best trading partner. Now he himself has the right to develop the plan, and he doesn't have the final say in everything.

If you want to do maritime trade, the fleet and safety issues are the top priority, and the big merchants know that maritime trade is the most profitable way, but the lack of ships and defense forces can only hide their ambitions in their hearts.

Tang Ming values this, as soon as Zheng He left, now the treasure shipyard is almost an empty shell, and it is not a pity that the treasure shipyard that has been built with a lot of financial and material resources is idle like this?

Make the best use of everything, build some merchant ships with idleness, train some sailors and seafaring talents yourself, escort them merchants, and collect some protection fees and commercial taxes are enough for the treasure shipyard to be self-sufficient, where is there any need to allocate funds from the treasury.

Although it is now the idle period of the Treasure Shipyard, the monthly allocation of silver taels from the treasury is about 300,000 taels, and Tang Ming only needs to fill in another 200,000 taels to offset the queen's monthly requirement of 500,000 taels of silver.

The queen asked Tang Ming to hand over 500,000 taels of silver every month, and Zhu Gaochi, who was a son, felt embarrassed. Although the 500,000 taels of silver is a drop in the bucket for the entire Ming Dynasty, it seems that it is difficult for the queen to do so.

After Tang Ming was blown away by the queen, Zhu Gaochi originally wanted to persuade his mother not to embarrass Tang Ming too much. But he was also blasted out by his mother, and he was taught a hard lesson.

Tang Ming heard it clearly outside the door, but he didn't expect Zhu Gaochi to be so righteous, and the little depression that was wrapped by someone just now suddenly disappeared.

Zhu Gaochi was reprimanded by his mother, and when he went out, he was ashamed to see Tang Ming not leaving, and when he looked at Tang Ming, he had an embarrassed look on his face, and said apologetically: "You also heard, it's not that I won't help you, this 500,000 taels of silver per month is really difficult, you can think about where to make money, otherwise my mother probably won't let you go easily!" ”

Tang Ming smiled, this would be completely different from pretending to be pitiful in front of the queen just now, his face was full of confidence.

"Peace of mind, it's just 500,000 taels of silver, if I Weihaihou is stumped by this money, what else to talk about developing the economy to enrich the people and strengthen the country. But you have to go with me to the treasure shipyard, there is a way to take care of you, and this is for the sake of your grievances for me in front of the queen just now. ”

Tang Ming never said big things, and Zhu Gaochi had already understood him after getting along with him during this time. Originally, he was really worried about Tang Ming, but he didn't expect that he was worrying blindly, he was embarrassed and embarrassed just now, where would he be polite to Tang Ming, and immediately called the guards to change into regular clothes and followed Tang Ming to the treasure shipyard.

Since Zhu Gaochi really came into contact with the regime, he realized that the current Ming Dynasty is thriving on the surface, but it is still full of holes on the inside. The inability of the treasury to make his father and mother become today's money fans.

But these made Zhu Gaochi very incomprehensible, since the country's finances had exceeded the load, his father still wantonly built the imperial palace in Beiping. It is understandable to move the capital to Beiping to protect the northern frontier. But this treasure shipyard is a bit chicken, he has checked the monthly consumption of the treasure shipyard, and the amount is staggering.

At the peak, two million taels of silver per month, not including some materials and manpower, just like when it is idle now, more than 300,000 taels of silver must be allocated to the treasure shipyard every month to maintain.

Such a large amount of manpower, material and financial resources have been invested, but there is no benefit. According to Zhu Gaochi's idea, this treasure shipyard should be closed as soon as possible, and the saved funds can be put elsewhere to reduce the pressure on the empty treasury.

What did his father think in his heart, he didn't dare to ask as a son, but now Tang Ming was managing the treasure shipyard and his brother, so he naturally had to ask him for clarification at such an opportunity. (To be continued.) )
