"Yes."

Zhang Gui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, secretly thinking that he was fortunate to enlarge the pattern to the world, and used the reason that the Ming Dynasty needed to sell industrial products to the world in exchange for food to feed his own people in the future, and finally succeeded in guiding Tianqi to continue to carry forward his hobby in scientific research.

Otherwise, Da Ming is only afraid that there will really be one less scientific giant!

What's more, once the wise Emperor of the Apocalypse really felt that his engagement in science and technology would cause overcapacity, which would then cause more economic problems, and he began to use imperial power to actively suppress the development of science and technology, it would definitely not be a good thing for the entire Chinese and the entire Eastern civilization.

After all, the development of science in the West is already slowly catching up.

If Tianqi, as the emperor, really wants to use his imperial power to suppress the development of domestic science and technology, it will undoubtedly repeat the bad luck of the late Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Gui didn't want Tianqi to be like Kangxi, who only studied natural sciences by himself, and did not encourage the development of mathematics among the people.

Although the purpose of the Apocalypse may not have been to imprison the Han Chinese, but to fear that the natural economy of the Ming Dynasty would go bankrupt early as a result.

But in any case, Zhang Gui didn't want the history of China to change at all in the future, and still entered the law of that historical cycle.

Zhang Gui is now glad that history has quietly changed because of him.

It is now September of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and according to the original historical context, the Ming Dynasty should have entered the era of Zhu Youzhen in August of the seventh year of the Apocalypse.

But because the apocalypse did not fall into the water, now the Ming Dynasty is still in the era of Zhu Youxiao.

"The West Factory has added a purchase order for firearms worth 10 million taels of silver to the General Factory of the Industrial Division, and according to the share sharing agreement approved by His Majesty to be executed, the princes should enjoy the benefits of dividends from the profits of the Industrial Division, and Benhou has brought all the dividends today!"

"Yuanfu is 160,000 taels."

"Father-in-law Wei is 120,000 taels."

"Otsuka Jae is ninety thousand taels."

"Da Sima is fifty thousand taels."

"Uncle Shaozong is 20,000 taels."

Next.

As soon as Zhang Gui arrived at the Planning Division, he just heard Han Yi talk about the bloodbath of Donglin Academy reported by Yuan Yaoran, the Imperial Governor of Nanzhili, he waved his hand to stop Han Yi's words, and slapped a large pile of large-denomination tickets that could be exchanged for silver on the table, and then took out a stack of signed documents, and said:

"You can look at the paperwork, the account statement calculated by the account office of the general factory of the Industrial Division, if you feel that there is no objection, you can sign and take your share of dividends. Although this is the kindness of His Majesty, it is also what the princes deserve after investing in the general factory of the Industrial Division. ”

It turned out that before this, Zhang Gui, in order to speed up the expansion of the scale of various factories of the Daming Industrial Division, and at the same time to bundle more people into the industry, he persuaded the apocalypse to let the ministers around him also invest in the Industrial Division.

In order to consolidate the favor of the Holy Grace and continue to gain the power to change the law, the ministers of the Reform Department of the Department of Planning also invested in it.

Some time ago, because the Apocalypse wanted to form the Guards Army, and used troops in southern Liaoning, plus the establishment of the West Factory, the arms manufacturing of the Industrial Division made a lot of profits because of the supply of arms to large domestic customers such as the Guards Army and the West Factory, and they also benefited a lot.

It's just that recently because of the overcapacity of the Industrial Division, profits have declined sharply, and even if the Tiger Ben Army is to be formed, it has not increased much profitability.

Therefore, the ministers who have invested money in the Department of Industry have received much less dividends, and they have begun to have no hope of how much money they will have to share.

But they didn't expect that today, Uncle Guo would give them so much silver.

Han Yixian couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say that the Industrial Division has overcapacity, and many factories have begun to lose money, how can you still give us so much?" ”

"Didn't I tell the reason, the West Factory will spend 10 million taels of silver to buy the ordnance of the Industrial Division."

Zhang Gui replied.

Yuan Keli, who had been promoted to the secretary of the ministry, thought for a while and asked, "The West Factory is going to be expanded again?" Uncle Guo shouldn't be going to expand the Xichang official school in Jiangnan, but the imperial court has not approved the expansion of the Xichang, so the Xichang will first use its own treasury silver to buy ordnance? ”

"Otsuka Zai is clever, the West Factory is indeed going to expand in Jiangnan! After all, there was such a serious incident in Jiangnan of the Yangtze River that illegally invaded the interior of our Ming Dynasty, and several cities and towns were slaughtered, how could the West Factory not be expanded to investigate the smuggling of foreign people? In addition, there is also the account of the Japanese slaughter of our town, and my West Factory also has to increase the expenditure and continue to settle accounts with the Japanese country. ”

Zhang Gui replied with a smile.

"That's as it should be!"

Han Yi said with a smile, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand towards a stack of tickets on the table.

After all, he wants 120,000 taels for himself, or a legal and regular income, how can he not be greedy.

You must know that since the Apocalypse decreed the restoration of the ancestral system of peeling and grass, his gray income has decreased a lot compared to the previous few days.

He needs it now, and he needs it to live in luxury.

But at this time, Yuan Keli continued: "But the dispute between Xilin Academy and Donglin Academy is too big in Jiangnan! Especially Uncle Guo's Xilin Academy, under the banner of the Xichang hoe and traitor department, it is okay to intrude on the local judiciary, after all, Xichang does have the right to cut first and act cheaply, but according to the letters from my friends in Shilin in Jiangnan, they are already interfering with the civil rights of local officials, and they have also wantonly expanded the villagers into soldiers without approval! If it goes on like this, isn't Jiangnan all the West Factory having the final say? It's not the imperial government that has the final say. Therefore, in my opinion, it is better to discuss and discuss first, whether the West Factory should continue to expand, if not, we can't take this silver! I wonder what you think? ”

"Yes!"

Han Yi said with a smile, and had to stretch his hand back,

Wei Zhongxian also glanced at the stack of silver tickets, and thought secretly: "120,000 taels!" Later, we must find a way to promote the expansion of the West Factory in Jiangnan, so that our family can get 120,000 taels of silver! ”

At this time, Zhang Gui said to Yuan Keli: "Otsuka Zai thinks about the common people in his heart, and Benhou admires it." But Ben Hou wants to ask Otsuka Zai, if the West Factory is not expanded in Jiangnan, and these people who are making trouble in Jiangnan are not brought under the command of the West Factory, I wonder if Otsuka Zai has thought about the consequences here? ”

"What consequences?"

Yuan Keli said and said, "Please teach Uncle Guo!" ”

"Once the West Factory is not expanded, the people who make trouble in Jiangnan will be accused by the local gentry of the rebellious party and the people, and they will be forced to rebel directly! Cause more damage! ”

"In addition, if the West Factory is not expanded, the Industrial Division will continue to have a large number of ordnance that cannot be exchanged for money and grain after manufacturing. So, what does the Department of Industry do to feed the millions of people in the vicinity of the Department of Industry? ”

"What's more, at present, there are a large number of people in Guanzhong who have been displaced due to drought and need help from the imperial court, and the best way is undoubtedly to let their industrial department work, so that more money and grain need to be invested in the industrial department. But where does so much money and food come from? If the Department of Industry does not sell the ordnance it produces, it will only bring down the imperial court and deplete the state treasury because it has to feed so many people, but it will not be able to increase the income of the state treasury, and it will be even more impossible to have dividends for the princes. ”

Zhang Gui said.

"Our family thinks what Uncle Guo said is very right! It doesn't matter whether our family has this dividend or not, the important thing is that the displaced people can have a job through the Industrial Division, and the millions of people in the Industrial Division can continue to live a stable life. ”

"It doesn't matter if our family suffers, the people can't suffer!"

Wei Zhongxian, who has always "loved the people like a son", got up as he spoke, walked to the eucalyptus table with the tickets, counted the tickets worth 120,000 taels of silver, put them in his sleeves, and said: "Our family has already taken our own book, and we will kowtow to the emperor tonight to thank you." ”

When Han Yi heard this, he also stood up, went to take his own 160,000 taels, and said, "Hey, the servant really can't control his own hand!" Then, he said: "You can discuss, whether the West Factory is expanded or not, and the servants have no opinion." ”

Zhang Gui looked at Chen Zizhuang, Lu Xiangsheng, and Yuan Keli, who had not yet gotten up to get the tickets: "Gonggong Wei knows that he dares to reach out for the people to get money, and the three of them don't know how to love the people, right?" ”
