Zhu Yuanzhang is a great joy. On the first day of the prize sale, 10,000 taels of silver were raised, and although there were a large number of empty coupons in it, the people who came to the lottery were all gamblers.

But as long as there are one or two who win the lottery, they will not let it go, and when they touch the empty ticket, their eyes are red and they want to turn it over, so this activity is in full swing.

At this time, I suddenly received a report from the Imperial Historical Observatory.

"Lu Ning uses this method to circle money, and there is a suspicion of defrauding money, this is not the demeanor of the country, please Your Majesty must be strict in accordance with the law."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, we were poor at that time, and we cried poor one by one when I borrowed money from you.

Today, when I saw the temptation on the podium, I sharpened my head one by one and threw myself there, and I didn't feel distressed for 1,800 taels.

It hurts to take out money from your pockets, and you feel that Lu Ning is a fraud, you don't know how uncomfortable it is to be short of money.

As the saying goes, people die for money, soldiers don't get tired of cheating, Lao Tzu cheats, how do you drop me?

At least, the money for the establishment of the Academy of Sciences is there, and the money for investment in students is also available, compared with the cause of cultivating Daming scientific and technological talents, Lu Ning's small mistake is nothing?

So, in front of Lu Ning, he directly replied to the imperial history.

"You said that Lu Ning was cheating, he cheated, doing this, preparing for the money needed to build an academy of sciences to train scientific and technological talents, if Ma Aiqing can get it for me, I will immediately order his title to be removed and sent him to Qiongzhou, who of you will come?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead in calling the board like this, and the imperial history was dumb.

He thought to himself: Our majesty is not good at this, once he finds fault with someone, he will push the other party's errand to the person who finds fault.

Alas, if I can make money, why waste spitting stars here to find fault with others?

Frightened, he quickly fell to his knees.

"The minister is incompetent, and he requests that the minister's recital be withdrawn."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a straight face: "It's just that the chapter can't be withdrawn in vain, three thousand taels of silver a piece." ”

This imperial historian secretly complained, you must know that although their grade is not high, the real power is quite large.

Three thousand taels of silver, I don't know how many people's necks were stuck to turn around, and in the blink of an eye, they were all confiscated.

But if this recital is not withdrawn, Your Majesty will definitely punish himself for the following sins of slandering the king of the county.

There was no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, obediently go home and prepare a silver ticket of three thousand taels of silver, hand it over to the dragon book case, and withdraw the recital.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Lu Ning, who was stunned next to him, and he thought to himself that after being with Lu Ning, a profiteer, for a long time, he had learned to be shameless.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when you want to impeach in the future, you must have a good basis, who dares to release empty cannons like this imperial historian, we will not beat you or punish you, it will take three thousand taels of silver to withdraw the chapter, I have time to review your chapter, don't feel sorry for me!"

These civil officials, who are always trying to find faults, are so frightened that no one dares to make irresponsible remarks.

With the prize sales in full swing and promoted across the country, not only the money for the establishment of the Academy of Sciences was available, but even the money for the development of electricity for Daming was earned back by him.

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to check the strength of the Academy of Sciences established by Lu Ning.

Lu Ning told him that since the palace had been electrified in the residences of various ministers, some special equipment would be installed immediately to surprise his father.

Three days later, Zhu Yuanzhang clearly found that there was another line in his imperial study, but there was an extra box with 1234567890 written on it, and a half-moon-shaped earpiece on it.

He asked Lu Ning what was this?

Lu Ning smiled and said.

"Father and don't let go of this earpiece, the son will go back to the palace, and the surprise will be sent to you later."

Two hours later, Lu Ning's voice suddenly came from that earpiece.

"Father, are you still there?"

Zhu Yuanzhang once had a walkie-talkie for wireless communication, and he also knew the principle of these things.

So he asked again: "Is this the same thing as the walkie-talkie that was given to me back then?" ”

Lu Ning laughed and said immediately.

"Father is really Shengming, this thing is called a telephone, as long as the phone is long enough, one is in the south of the sky and the other is in the north of the earth, naturally he can talk at any time, you say he is not magical?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe it, but the facts were in front of him.

"So can you pull this wire into the princes' palaces? In that way, if we want to have any homeopathy in the future, we can talk to them directly, saving the role of the post station. ”

Lu Ning told Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

This can be achieved theoretically, but now the wires produced by Daming are limited, and they can only be used by some special users in Jinling City. It will take time to become widespread, and of course, the main thing is that there is no money. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang is now rare and confident, and said.

"Emperor, don't worry. It's a big deal to do a few more prize sales, and everything will come out. ”

Lu Ning laughed: "This thing is a freshness, and if you do too much, it won't work." ”

"So what to do?"

"What Erchen said back then is to nationalize all the minerals in Daming, so that we can ensure that all precious metals are stored in Daming Bank."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Lu Ning's suggestion back then, but recently Daming has always had other things, and he really doesn't have the energy to take care of it, so he will delay, and he will naturally prepare to do it immediately.

Lu Ning was really very happy and continued.

"All people can only hold paper securities of these precious metals, in this way, let's say that the paper money in his hand is money, it is money, if they dare to disobey their father, there are 10,000 ways to make them become poor eggs!"
