Fortunately, Yunrong's research results in the past few years have been good, and some research results have not been used on a large scale due to various reasons, and these things need time to be implemented.

Yun Rong is lazy and doesn't get in the way.

It's been three months, although Yun Rong is very happy to play with her son every day, but she can't go on forever, she will pay attention to her son, but she doesn't want to give up her career.

Besides, as Bobo got bigger and bigger, Yun Rong felt that she could make some educational toys.

For example, building blocks.

For example, some delicate mechanism toys.

For example......

The principle of these things is not difficult, Yunrong also has a gold finger laboratory that is slightly flawed but practical, and the equipment and the like in it can't be brought out, but the data drawings can really be brought out.

It's really a lot more convenient, and it also saves Yunrong a lot of trouble.

Then Yun Rong began to work hard one after another for her son to be able to play with toys.

At the same time, Yinzhen is letting people start to build roads, there is a saying that is very right, if you want to get rich first build roads, the road can be circulated when the goods are passed, and the economy will naturally develop.

Not just roads, but railways.

Nowadays, electricity is still difficult to popularize, and it is very rare to be able to use electricity in the palace, so Yinzhen plans to use the principle of steam to let craftsmen make steam engines first, and use the power generated by steam for trains to travel on the railway.

But it will take time.

Yinzhen got a cement recipe from Yunrong and asked people to build a cement road first, and at the same time, Yinzhen deliberately built a ten-mile-long railway in a deserted place.

Road construction should also be gradual, the capital as the capital of the Qing Dynasty will naturally be in the front, Shengjing as the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, will naturally not fall, and there is the area around the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan people are outstanding and rich in products, such as grain, aquatic products and textiles...... They are the main production areas, and because the waterways in the south of the Yangtze River extend in all directions, Jiangnan is not only the first granary in the world, but also an important source of the national treasury.

But where waterways are not accessible, the economy is somewhat backward.

Therefore, the roads around Jiangnan must be open.

But building a road sounds good, and everyone knows that it is a project that benefits the country and the people, but it needs silver!

It stands to reason that it is possible to use the people who serve as conscripts to help, but there are so many roads to be built that it is impossible to requisition the people all the time.

Just like Emperor Yang of Sui repairing the Grand Canal, can't the Grand Canal benefit the people?

It can bless the people!

However, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty increased forced labor in order to build the Grand Canal, and finally made the people's livelihood miserable, and the people sighed and complained, and in the end they did not lose the country.

When the people of later generations mentioned Emperor Yang of Sui, the first thing that came to mind was his enslavement of the people and his unkindness to the people, who could remember that the Grand Canal, a waterway network extending in all directions, was the merit of Emperor Yang of Sui!

The courtiers did not object to the construction of the road, but Yinzhen said that the money for road construction came from the state treasury, and the road construction did not increase the forced labor, that is to say, the state treasury not only had to pay money to buy materials for road construction, but also to pay wages.

The courtiers felt that the emperor was really crazy, and now although the treasury still has a surplus, this is the reason why Yinzhen has been operating well over the years, but no matter how much silver is invested in such a national project, the treasury can't afford it.

Of course, the most important thing is that the emperor allows the courtiers who are in urgent need of silver to borrow silver from the treasury, and the treasury does not have enough silver, if they are not greedy, their lives will be tight, and no one is willing to agree to their own interests.

Of course, there are a few people with more active brains, and they immediately echoed Yinzhen's proposal, these people are not a good idea, they just want to use this errand, hoping to make a lot of extra money from it, after all, there is a lot of silver from the treasury, and it must be used by people, as long as it is handled by people, they will naturally be able to get benefits!

Yin Zhen saw the cow, ghost, snake and god, everyone had it, and he was a little impatient: "Hubu Shangshu." ”

Hubu Shangshu Mi Sihan: "The slave is here." ”

Yinzhen: "How much silver is left in the treasury now?" ”

Mi Sihan: "Your Majesty, there are still 25 million taels of silver on the treasury books, but the real amount is only 20 million taels. ”

Yin Zhen's face darkened, his courtiers of the Qing Dynasty were really poor enough, and he borrowed a total of five million taels of silver.

Yin Zhen said in a deep voice: "Oh! Explain to me, where did the five million taels of silver on the books go? ”

Mi Sihan said truthfully: "Back to the emperor, it was borrowed." ”

Mi Sihan's voice fell, and Yinzhen's face became even worse.

Yin Zhen didn't speak, and the people below didn't dare to speak, and after a while, Yin Zhen said: "Five million taels!" Liang Jiugong, do you give me a reminding of the geometry of today's folk objects? ”

Yinzhen sent Liang Jiugong to check the prices of the people, which was originally to rectify the corrupt officials and bun minions in the Internal Affairs Office, but now it is used just right.

Liang Jiugong's voice was a little shrill and thin: "Eggs cost a penny, pork costs 20 wen a catty, chicken meat costs 25 wen a catty, muslin cloth costs 20 wen a foot, the price of silk ranges, the average cabbage is a penny or two catties, and the most expensive vegetables are only a dozen cents a catty......

There was the emperor standing behind Liang Jiugong, so he dared to say it very much, and he said it in great detail, so detailed that everyone felt that it was very terrifying.

After Liang Jiugong finished speaking, Yinzhen said, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Still no one spoke.

Yin Zhen: "I raised a good minister, in just a few years, I borrowed five million taels of silver, Mi Sihan, you tell me, how many people have borrowed silver from the treasury in total, and someone can return the silver during the period." ”

Mi Sihan: "Back to the emperor, less than 100 people borrowed silver, and only two people returned the silver during this period. ”

Yin Zhen: "There are less than 100 people, and each of you has borrowed 50,000 taels of silver on average, and you tell me, what have you done with this silver?" Also, there are only two people who pay back the silver, what's the matter, I didn't dare to use the private treasury of the treasury, but from time to time put silver into the treasury, you can bear it better than me, this is using the treasury as a private treasury? ”

The more than 100 people who had not yet repaid the borrowed silver were suddenly frightened and knelt on the ground: "The slaves are afraid, the slaves don't dare, and please ask the emperor to calm his anger." ”

Yin Zhen: "I see that you dare very much, how can I calm my anger, after I finished building the road, you said that the treasury has no silver, what's the matter, the five million taels are not silver?" ”

The former queen's maiden family, the Hesheri clan, borrowed a lot of silver, and when they saw that the situation was wrong, they quickly admitted their mistake.

As the patriarch of the Hesheri clan, Suo Etu immediately said: "Your Majesty, the slave's family has been much richer recently, and he is planning to return the silver owed to the treasury, and when the slave returns, he will let the silver be carried to the treasury. ”

Yin Zhen looked at Suo Etu and felt that this person was not so stupid, the reason why he was like that in his previous life was probably because he was fascinated by the aura of the prince.

Without arrogant capital, he is really a lot smarter, and he will judge the situation, if he is in the last life, let alone pay back the silver, he can borrow more silver from the treasury.

Yin Zhen likes smart people, and Suo Etu has become a lot smarter, so he naturally has to say: "Since Lord Suo Etu said so, then, Mi Sihan, you and Suo Etu will dock." ”

When everyone saw that Suo Etu confessed, they could only say that they would return it immediately.

When Yin Zhen saw that the money owed was said to be returned, he was happy, and then said: "The five million taels of silver will be used for the cost of road repair, and the rest will be taken out of my private treasury." ”

The courtiers said in unison: "The emperor is sage." ”
