Chapter 270: Prepare, Sail!
Zhu Gaoxian went downstairs and said to the dog, "Who is next door to the house where Lao Shen and I stay?" ”
Gou'er smiled, "Next door is Lao Shen's baby daughter, speaking of which, it is the same age as His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness has not yet married a wife, if there are more women around him, it is not polite." ”
Only those uneducated nouveau riche will have the scandal of taking concubines before marrying a wife, and having concubines without an eldest son.
Zhu Gaoxian is noncommittal, this kind of thing depends on fate, but obviously, he is too young, doing those things will hurt his body, and there are too many women, it is never a good thing, otherwise, why has no emperor from ancient times to the present have a long life?
The master and servant hurried all the way back to the Daming Imperial Academy, and only then did they enter the courtyard, and they saw Mu Ruyan and Zhu'er waiting at the door, and when they saw Zhu Gaoxian, they were like beggars seeing delicious food, and they were almost about to pounce.
Zhu Gaoxian glanced at Mu Ruyan deeply, the little girl's face was as bright as a begonia, as bright as the morning glow, a pair of clear Lingling's eyes were full of joy, as clear as the morning dew rolling among the morning leaves, and her slightly shy face was dyed with two pieces of carmine, Qiong's nose and cherry lips, under Zhu Gaoxian's gaze, she bowed her head shyly, indescribably gentle and soft.
Zhu Gaoxian smiled, retracted his gaze, raised his feet and walked in, Mu Ruyan and Zhu'er hurriedly followed, Zhou Xin and Gu Qian waited under the eaves of the corridor, and when they saw the dean coming, they hurriedly went down the steps to salute.
"Dean!"
Zhu Gaoxian nodded and raised his chin towards the room, "Let's go in and talk about it, how are you doing lately?" ”
"The big guys are very skilled, follow the dean's teachings, many parts are built by ourselves, although the progress is slower, but the harvest is great!"
To do technology, we can't just talk about it, but practice to bring out the truth.
Zhu Gaoxian led the two into the study and sat down on the couch in front of the south window, Zhou Xin and Gu Qian each sat down on the chairs, talking about the harvest in the academy, both of them were very excited.
"Dean, we still have a lot of questions, and we want to ask the dean for advice."
"Classes will resume tomorrow, and the early stage will mainly focus on answering questions." Zhu Gaoxian pondered for a while and said, "In the later stage, I will mainly guide you on how to stand at the front end of the industrial chain and do some work to guide the application of new materials, new technologies, and new processes. ”
If the students of the previous session, Zhu Gaoxian mainly trained them in some basic knowledge of machinery and electronics, in order to build the industrial framework of Daming and lay a good industrial foundation, then this class of students need to stand at the forefront to drive the development of Daming industry.
"Yes, the students will go and inform their classmates, so that everyone can take care of what they are doing today and resume classes tomorrow."
Zhu Gaoxian nodded, and the two went happily.
The affairs of the academy, one bright and one dark, are reported to Zhu Gaoxian every two days, big and small, he knows everything in his heart, everything is done step by step, in this half a year, the Ming Imperial Academy has assembled a total of ten tracked armored vehicles, and ten transport armored vehicles.
This is already quite remarkable, because it also involves refining rubber.
Zhu Gaoxian drank half a cup of tea, then went to the garage where the armored car was placed, used his keen eyes, and looked at it from beginning to end, at least there is no problem with the power, otherwise, the armored car could not be put into storage, only some small problems, it seems that these students of his are very meticulous in their work.
This is a group of students carefully selected by Zhu Gaoxian, there are only more than 50 people in each class, and in terms of IQ, as long as they are qualified, the main thing is ideological character, they must have a sense of national honor, they must be able to do things in a down-to-earth manner, and they must be able to endure loneliness.
Seeing Zhu Gaoxian come back, many students came to say hello, and couldn't wait to come up with some questions to ask for advice, so Zhu Gaoxian discussed with them about the problems and objects.
"The biggest use of rubber is shock absorption and sealing, metal and metal are directly connected, if there is relative movement, one is easy to wear and tear, produce noise, and the other is the direct transmission of power, affecting comfort."
Looking at a pair of eager eyes, Zhu Gaoxian said, "In this case, we have to consider how to improve the situation, whether the hard connection can be added excessively, if it is excessive, then you need to use some soft materials, rubber is a good choice, the rubber is directly cushioned in the middle of the two hard connections, think about it, what will be the consequences?" ”
"Easy to wear out?" One of the students asked a question tentatively.
"Yes, easy wear is a problem, and there are others, such as it will lead to folding, and the rubber cannot completely cover the connection of the two metal parts, in this case, everyone continues to think, what is the best way?"
"Wear a rubber garment for a metal piece?" The student followed Zhu Gaoxian's train of thought.
"Good!" Zhu Gaoxian glanced at him appreciatively and said, "Fu Lin, this year's outstanding students are counted as you." Not only do you have to wear a rubber garment for the metal pieces, but you also need to wear a tights. ”
The students all laughed, and they were all envious of Fu Lin.
Zhu Gaoxian said, "Then we have to find a way to vulcanize the metal parts as inserts when the rubber is vulcanized, which has a problem, how to make the rubber can be tightly attached to the metal, and direct bonding is definitely not possible, we have to find materials, through the medium substance, so that the rubber can be firmly attached to the metal, which is a topic in the field of materials science." ”
Zhu Gaoxian looked at the confused and eager eyes of the students, he was very pleased, "The world of science is vast, there are treasures buried everywhere, and there are surprises everywhere, once you get involved, every one of your diligence will be rewarded unexpectedly, this is the reward given to you by science itself, students, make persistent efforts, I hope to see Daming prosper because of you, and will always be invincible!" ”
Everyone took a deep breath, their eyes burst into light, they were happy, excited, and full of yearning and pursuit for the future.
Zhu Gaoxian resumed classes in the afternoon, Mu Ruyan sat in the classroom like an obedient student and listened, taking notes with a pencil, although she was not a serious student, but the students did not know what the relationship between her and Zhu Gaoxian was, seeing that she was helping Zhu Gaoxian all day long, serving tea and water, thinking that she was Zhu Gaoxian's assistant, and did not reject her.
After answering questions for a long time, Zhu Gaoxian's throat was smoking, Mu Ruyan served the fat sea tea, and said softly, "I bought it in Tongji Pharmacy, and I heard the doctor who sat there say that it is very good to maintain his throat." ”
Zhu Gaoxian took it with a smile, and asked as he walked to the study, "Do you understand?" ”
Mu Ruyan said in her heart, what do I want to understand? But the main reason why she came to the Ming Imperial Academy was that she wanted to be closer to Zhu Gaoxian, if the two of them wanted to talk together, she needed to understand Zhu Gaoxian's world and know what he was busy with.
"Some still don't understand, am I stupid?" Zhu Gaoxian rarely took the initiative to talk to her, Mu Ruyan was simply flattered, and she was so happy that she was on the same hand and foot, and when she went down the steps, she almost fell.
Zhu Gaoxian grabbed her, and sighed in his heart, she was still a little girl.
He felt Mu Ruyan's body stiffen, so he quickly let go of his hand and said, "Then do you think you're stupid?" ”
Mu Ruyan nodded at first, then shook her head busily, and said seriously, "I'm not stupid, my father, my mother and my brother all said that I wasn't stupid, I took classes with my brother with my husband when I was a child, and I always memorized it before my brother." ”
"Oh, that's not stupid!" Zhu Gaoxian smiled and said, "There are a lot of things you can learn in this world, you can only learn what you are interested in to learn quickly and make achievements, if you don't like to learn, you can not learn." ”
"But......" Mu Ruyan was anxious when she heard this, "I want to know, what is science?" ”
"Science is a discipline that can make people lazy. For example, if you don't want to take a candle every day and light all the candlesticks one by one, which is too slow, then find a way to make a generator to come out, pull the switch, the light will come on, and then pull it again, and the light will go out. ”
Mu Ruyan laughed when she heard this, her crescent-like eyes were dark and shiny, like agate grapes, she tilted her head and looked at Zhu Gaoxian, looking very innocent and lively, "Then don't you want to walk, so you managed to build a car, and you didn't want the Ming army to lose their lives, so you built an armored car?" ”
"Yes, that's it!" Zhu Gaoxian couldn't help it, reached out and touched the little girl's head again, Mu Ruyan felt the warmth of his palm, dry and comfortable, gently pursed his lips, and the two pear vortices on his cheeks were full of joy.
Shen Chunhong asked people to inform his fifth brother that he had something to discuss, and on the other hand, he took his daughter home, and when he arrived home, Agarwood Bao had already come, and the two brothers did not talk nonsense, and hurried into the study.
"Fourth brother, is there a landing?" Agarwood Bao observed the words and colors, and his heart was already irrepressible joy.
"This time, the fourth brother bet his head on the fourth master, so he won this opportunity for you." Shen Chunhong said, because it was his own family, he didn't hide it, "You know, I originally planned to let Xue'er serve the fourth master, but now I recommend you, Xue'er's matter, I don't know if there will be a chance in the future?" “
"Fourth brother, I will definitely remember your great kindness, don't say much, no matter who Xue'er is with when she comes out of the cabinet in the future, 10,000 taels of silver will be pressed into the bottom of the box, and I will give it to you by smashing the pot and selling iron."
"Forget it, don't talk about this, you hurry up and prepare, I'll take you to see the fourth master."
Agarwood Bao stood up, looked at the robe on his body, and found someone to come in, took the woman's target glass, a small mirror made of glass, and reflected it on his face, he straightened his hat and straightened his sideburns, and then said, "Fourth brother, can I do this?" ”
The clothes are all new, and the hair crown is also very thoughtful, which is not rude, Shen Chunhong is worried that the night is long and dreamy, if his brother flies, it will be a pity for the Shen family, and he hurriedly said, "Go quickly, this matter cannot be delayed." ”
Zhu Gaoxian is preparing a prescription in the study, this time leading a team to go to sea and go to Australia, one is to open up a route, this route was ready-made in the previous life, but for people in this era, they don't have any impression of Australia; The second is the ore, determine the location of the ore, find the iron ore, and dig it directly, so as to avoid wasting time.
The amount of mining in the early stage is not large, and the amount of iron ore in Australia is amazing, and there is no problem of resource competition within the Ming Dynasty, so naturally the more people who go, the better.
Also, taking advantage of this opportunity to let those gentry sell their land, how can they take all the benefits?
The Ministry of Industry wants to take people there, as for who to take to the right place, Zhu Gaoxian has no idea for the time being, this needs to draw up a charter, and the biggest problem is that he must go to sea in person, I don't know if my father will agree to let him go?
Zhu'er knocked lightly on the door, Zhu Gaoxian raised his head, rubbed his eyebrows, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Your Highness, Shopkeeper Shen is here, I ask to see Your Highness!"
"Well, let him in!" Zhu Gaoxian got up, walked to the window, and looked out.
Shen Chunhong came in with a man in his thirties, and when he entered the door, he threw himself down in front of Zhu Gaoxian's feet, "Caomin Agarwood Bao to meet His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!" ”
"Get up!"
Zhu Gaoxian sat down on the couch next to him and said to the two Shen Chunhong brothers, "Sit down, sit down and talk, listen to Lao Shen, you have been to the sea, tell me, where did you go back then?" ”
Agarwood Bao didn't expect Zhu Gaoxian to be so amiable, and the fear in his heart was slightly reduced, and there were still beads of sweat on his head, but his voice was no longer trembling, "At that time, my father was still there, and the grass people followed the fleet to Zhenla, Siam, and as far as Java Island." ”
It's a long way off!
Zhu Gaoxian nodded, "I heard that you are very interested in sailing, why is that?" Don't ordinary people think that there are winds and waves at sea, which is very dangerous, and once something happens, maybe they can only die in the belly of the fish? ”
Speaking of navigation, Agarwood Bao and Ma Sanbao, his eyes bloomed, he was full of infinite yearning for the authentic, "Your Highness, the outside world is very big, only navigation can see a broader world, people in every place are different, only when I see the poverty and backwardness of other countries, can I know how strong and prosperous my Ming is." ”
Zhu Gaoxian was stunned, there was still this reason, but this fart made him very comfortable.
"I went to sea this time, not only to do trade, but also to go to a country called Australia to dig ores, mainly aluminum, iron ore, gold, diamonds, coal mines, etc., relying on the imperial court alone, it is difficult to move so many treasures back, if there are some Ming organizations willing to go with them, it is the best."
Agarwood Bao was taken aback and ecstatic, he was following the Fourth Highness and had the earliest understanding of the great movements of the imperial court?
For a while, Agarwood Bao didn't know how to answer, and looked at his brother, his brother didn't even mention it to himself!
Shen Chunhong had heard of it, but he didn't know it in such detail, so he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, if this is the case, Jiangning Wharf may not be able to carry so many ships to dock in the future, can we consider building another wharf?" “
Zhu Gaoxian appreciated Shen Chunhong's sensitivity, he nodded, and said, "I will arrange the construction of the wharf, let Zhu Wu do it, you have recently built more factories here, what conditions do the students of the Ming Imperial Academy need, you try to meet their requirements, when I come back, I hope to see the output of the factory." “
"Yes!" Shen Chunhong stopped talking on the side.
Agarwood Bao said, "Your Highness, I don't know what requirements Your Highness has for the selection of non-governmental organizations?" ”
"Again, the family's land does not exceed 2,000 acres, and if there are goods to be taken out for sale, the tariffs that should be paid are willing to be paid. Also, I went out this time, and the route has been set. “
Zhu Gaoxian beckoned, and Zhu'er took the map he put on the table, this was the first time that the Shen Chunhong brothers saw the world map, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a while when they saw the colorful colors on it.
Where did the fourth master get such a divine object?
"You know this map if you see it, and outside, for any reason, you can't draw it!"
"Yes!"
The two brothers hurriedly knelt down, eager to swear.
This is not to blame Zhu Gaoxian for being cautious, you must know that at present, everyone's understanding of the world is still in the exploration stage, and at any time, a prophet means that he has grasped the opportunity.
Zhu Gaoxian said, "Starting from Jiangning Wharf, going southwest, passing through the Ryukyu Island Strait, entering the South China Sea, we will stop in Qiongzhou for a day, and when we get rubber seeds here, we will stop in Sulu......
The area where Sulu is located is what will become the Philippines.
He thought about it, although the Philippines also has mineral resources, but mainly copper, which can be mined, and his main arrangement for the Philippines is to grow rubber, and then to transport back important timber such as ebony and sandalwood from the Philippines.
The Philippines has a vast forest cover, covering more than half of the land area, and it would be nice to be able to bring in trees for the laying of railroad ties.
Do you want to talk to the king of the Philippines about this? Also, whether to make a detour to the Philippines or Palembang first, Zhu Gaoxian has not yet been finalized.
Going back and forth around Kalimantan is a sure.
This......
Agarwood Bao was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but look at His Highness, a young man who was only a teenager, what kind of ambition did His Royal Highness have?
This is really admirable, Agarwood Bao can't help but be glad that he still has such a blessing in his life, with a master.
Indonesia is not called Indonesia now, it is now called the Mahabacher Feudal Empire. Soon, the kingdom with the strange name will be invaded by Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom as a colony.
Zhu Gaoxian did not have much interest in establishing colonies, after all, he would do unto others as he would have them do unto him, all he wanted was the resources of these countries, and even if he did not take them, the Western powers would come and take them.
"In addition to minerals, it is also one of the countries with the richest biological resources, among which medicinal plants are the richest."
The two brothers kept it in their hearts one by one, and the people who went with them must have gains, otherwise they would follow them for nothing? And what exactly are on these islands to decide who to follow?
"This is where we go!" Zhu Gaoxian pointed to Australia, "Bituminous coal, bauxite, iron ore resources here are very rich, I plan to use this as my Ming mineral resources export place, we want to lead the local people to mine with us, we supply them with the necessary necessities, lead them to live a good life, let them give us these minerals they don't need." ”
Daming has entered the era of industrialization, and Agarwood Bao and others can appreciate the importance of metal to industry more than the common people, and the guidance of His Royal Highness along the map made Shen Chunhong brothers understand the importance of this trip to the sea?
They felt that His Highness was right, what was the use of those iron ores buried in the ground to the local people? Eat and can't eat, make iron, what are you kidding, use the stove?
After Zhu Gaoxian finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, he was regarded as having finally determined the route for his trip to sea.
After reading the proposed route again, Zhu Gaoxian rubbed his fingers and said to the two, "Get busy, this time, Lao Shen, you point out your brother, do things well, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me, don't blindly guess what I mean, mess things up, you're welcome!" ”
"Yes, thank you for your advice!"
Agarwood Bao shouted out the "fourth master", he didn't see Zhu Gaoxian angry, he breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, this is a good start, he also understands the temperament of the fourth master, is not informal, and pays attention to doing practical things.
Such people are easy to serve, much better than those masters who only like to pat horses and beards, and don't know what they want to do.
Coming out of the Ming Imperial Academy, Agarwood Bao breathed a sigh of relief and was relieved.
The two brothers looked at each other, said nothing, and got into the carriage together.
The carriage drove on the concrete road, the wheels with rubber tires did not jolt at all, and there was no noise.
"I really didn't expect the fourth master to be so approachable, although he is young, but not to be underestimated, I can't be relaxed in front of him at all, I am even more nervous than facing my father back then." Agarwood Bao laughed self-deprecatingly.
"That's the best, I originally wanted to remind you that when facing the fourth master, don't look at him young and make his own decisions, now I don't need to remind him, this is the best. Are you sure you want to go to sea with him? If I'm not mistaken, you probably won't be able to come back for a while, and you may be staying on that island called Australia. ”
"It's okay, let's go check it out first. I won't never be able to come back, the fourth master wants to mine from there, I will definitely not be the only one, as long as there are ships coming and going in the future, I will be able to go back and forth. The most important thing now is, how do we choose which ships to follow? ”
"This is easy to do, the fourth master has already set the direction, even if there are not many people who go this time, someone will see the benefits in the future, and it is not impossible to join."
And after Xia Yuanji spread the news, first those powerful people were inconvenient to come forward, so they asked the sons and sons of the family to come forward, find Zhu Gaosui as an intermediary, and probe Zhu Gaoxian's tone, and then those rich businessmen who could not take Zhu Gaoxian's boat began to act, they would never let go of such an opportunity.
The Shen family is like a city.
When Agarwood Bao was originally separated from the Shen family, he moved out like the rest of the Shen family, but when Shen Chunhong was about to sell the Zhou family's dowry, he took out his share of the money and helped Shen Chunhong.
In the evening, the guests of the Shen family finally left, and after a brief meal in the study, the two brothers each brought a bowl of tea, and were about to take a rest, when the steward came in, "Fourth master, fifth master, Fujian Mr. Ji is here." ”
The two brothers glanced at each other, no one expected that Ji Song would come so quickly, and there was still a little distance from Fujian to Yingtianfu.
"Please!" Shen Chunhong said as he greeted the fifth brother.
Ji Song got off the car, sat in a long-distance bus, the clothes on his body were still wrinkled, and when he saw the Shen family brothers, he took two quick steps and arched his hand, "Brother Shen, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting!" “
One of the Ji family and the Shen family is a wealthy family in Fujian, and the other is a wealthy family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, both in the southeast, and the two families have business contacts and are still in-laws. Only later, the Shen family declined and was involved in the blue jade eucalyptus, so the Ji family did not dare to interact with the Shen family, but compared with several other in-laws, the Ji family treated the girl married by the Shen family well, and after the Shen family's disaster passed, they lent a helping hand.
"Water mirror, since you're here, come in and talk!" Shen Chunhong hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Ji Song's hand, "If you don't come, I also plan to call someone to invite you to come." ”
While saying, Shen Chunhong invited Ji Song to the study, and instructed the fifth brother, "Go and buy a table of noodles and have a good drink with me with Shui Jing."
Ji Song, the word water mirror.
"After many years, I still remember when we were studying together in the academy, and when I saw Brother Shen today, it was like the old days, and he didn't get old at all!"
Shen Chunhong laughed, "This is a bit fake, my beard is white, and you still say that you and I are not old, I think, it is you who do not accept the old!" ”
Looking at each other and laughing, they all sighed that time flies and the world is impermanent.
"Back then, I pinched a cold sweat for you, thinking that it would be good to be able to save your life, who would have thought that you would still be where you are today?"
Entering the gate, Ji Song stood in the courtyard, things are not people, the courtyard is still the same, but it does not reproduce the magnificence of the past, but it shows a quiet and peaceful everywhere, so, it is also very good.
Agarwood Bao's footsteps paused slightly, Shen Chunhong smiled, didn't say anything, but said, "Please!" ”
After Ji Song went to the guest room to freshen up first, the wine and food had been prepared and placed in the flower hall, the cup in front of the three of them was already full of wine, and after three rounds of wine, Shen Chunhong saw that Ji Song was still playing with himself, and he felt that this was a waste of time.
"Shui Jing, you have traveled so far to come, there must be something important, if it is for the sea, you can say it directly!"
Ji Song breathed a sigh of relief, he put a peanut in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and after swallowing, he said, "It's for going to sea, you should also know that none of us want to let go of such an opportunity." ”
Emperor Taizu Gao set up an ancestral precept that the board was not allowed to go to the sea, but the emperor came back after this northern tour and made a decree at the Yingtianfu Wharf, and the common people could go to the offshore fishing in order to survive.
This has brought opportunities to all the wealthy merchants, who are not secretly happy in those families who have gone to sea to trade?
Soon, it was rumored that His Royal Highness was going to open up a new route, and the warships of the Ming Dynasty were going to a place called Australia, where there were a lot of mineral resources, what could be more valuable than these in the world?
"Yes, no one wants to let go!" Agarwood Bao was in charge of this matter and affirmed, "Brother Ji, what questions do you have?" ”
You must know that the conditions for the Fourth Highness to open are not low.
"I just want to ask, why does His Highness limit the family's land to no more than 2,000 acres?" This is something that Ji Song can't figure out.
Agarwood Bao didn't understand this, he looked at Shen Chunhong, after all, his fourth brother and the fourth highness lived a little longer.
Shen Chunhong took a sip of the wine glass and put the glass down gently, "Some things are just my personal guesses, after drinking this wine today, some words are rotten to your stomach, don't say it outside, if you say it, I will definitely not admit it." ”
Agarwood Bao and Ji Song unconsciously moved their buttocks, and their expressions were much more serious.
"I've been with His Royal Highness for the past two years, although I don't know much about His Royal Highness, from some of his practices, I can also see that he is different from many people throughout the ages, he is wholeheartedly working for the Ming Dynasty and the people."
At this point, Agarwood Bao has no objection, Ji Song said, "These ordinary people are all in their eyes, and many people here in Fujian are thinking about the good of the Four Highnesses, and they all say that there are Four Highnesses, and they will definitely not die of hunger." ”
The construction of roads has provided many jobs for the common people, and the wages of 50 wen a day have never been in arrears, and the main reason is that the treasury has silver, and the advanced auditing system and strict supervision have effectively stopped corruption.
"I can't starve to death right now!" Shen Chunhong said, "The development of Daming industry requires a lot of people to participate, which is why His Royal Highness sent a warship to Australia this time, and will agree to bring people over with him. ”
Ji Song was stunned, "But don't rich people use Hukou?" ”
The people in this land always have a deep complex with the land, and some people's lifelong dream is to have their own piece of land, a house.
"Your Highness did not force it, and those who are unwilling to give up the land in their hands will never have anything to do with industry. For example, on this voyage, do you know where Your Highness is going? What to do? ”
Agarwood cleared his throat and persuaded, "Brother Ji, I advise you, don't lose a big one because of a small one." The times are different in the future, you say that now that you have a tractor, are you still willing to raise cattle at home? I think you're here on a tractor, right? Why didn't you ride in a carriage? ”
"Yes, don't always keep an eye on the land, 2,000 acres of land is already a lot. Give those fields out and plant them for the common people, and follow Your Highness, I guarantee with my life that Your Highness is the kind of person who will never let those who follow him suffer. ”
Ji Song thought for a moment and said, "However, if you take goods to sea, you will have to pay 20% tariff." Can you tell me where Your Highness is going? ”
"Your Highness intends to pass through Ryukyu Island, go through the Philippine Island, Malaysia Island and Indonesian Islands, and reach Australia, and you can rest assured that Your Highness will definitely not treat you badly along the way." Agarwood Bao said these place names, on the map, they are all islands, originally not called these names, but since His Royal Highness called it so, they also called it so, but it was just a few islands.
Ji Song asked, "How does Your Highness ensure that we don't suffer?" ”
After all, it is related to the life of the family, you know, the land is sold, and it is not so easy to buy it back
Shen Chunhong thought for a while and said, "I still say the same thing, what I say, you rot in your stomach, don't say it." ”
"Brother Shen, you know my character!"
Shen Chunhong nodded, "Industrial development requires a lot of resources, all kinds of ores, trees are needed to lay railroad tracks, and the tractor you drive has to burn fuel, these are all resources, and these resources, in the words of His Highness, are not renewable." We can't run out of this generation, and future generations can only watch and cry. ”
Ji Song gasped, and he said in disbelief, "What does Your Highness mean, to transport it back somewhere else?" ”
"Not bad!" Shen Chunhong nodded, hurriedly took out Zhu Gaoxian's set of fallacies and heresies, and said, "Right now, in the world, only I, Daming, have entered the era of industrialization, and other countries, Brother Ji, you should also know that there are still some in the era of Ru Mao drinking blood, it is useless for them to ask for these, we use them, reward them with some things we don't need, and take what they need, isn't it a win-win thing?" ”
The word "win-win" was also learned by Shen Chunhong from Zhu Gaoxian.
"High!" Ji Song gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely, "The Fourth Highness is really tall!" ”
He raised his glass and thanked Brother Shen Chunhong, "This time I want to thank the two virtuous Kunzhong, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have lost an opportunity that I would regret for the rest of my life." ”
If you miss this time, even if you are willing to follow the Fourth Highness next time, you may not be able to squeeze into the list, you can imagine how regrettable it will be!
After a few modest words from the Shen family brothers, Ji Song rested in the guest room of the Shen family for one night, and the next morning, Ji Song got up and said goodbye, "I want to go back to deal with the land property earlier, fortunately, the court is willing to spend money to buy it back." ”
In the Ming Imperial Academy, after Zhu Gaoxian had breakfast, he hurried to teach the students, Xia Yuanji came, and followed behind Zhu Gaoxian like a tail, "Your Highness, this time, there are really a lot of people who are willing to sell the fields, all of them are some big households, and some people are hundreds of hectares of fields as soon as they give them away, it's really unexpected!" ”
Zhu Gaoxian paused, "You don't have to test my thoughts here, if someone finds you and asks about going to sea, you tell them directly, let them choose the people who go to sea, bring the goods to trade, when the spring flowers bloom, we will go to sea, and I will take them to pick up money." ”
Xia Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness, the minister didn't mean to test His Highness, but this matter is very important, and the minister is worried that if these people can't return to their ...... at that time."
"Lao Xia, it makes me sad when you say this, how much money is in the treasury from now now? How much grain is in the warehouse? Don't you feel sorry for worrying about this? ”
Xia Yuan Ji bowed down with a puff, "The minister is guilty!" ”
"Get up, it's always good for you to be cautious."
Xia Yuanji came out of the Ming Imperial Academy and regretted his death, so he didn't dare to test the Fourth Highness, but if he didn't test it, he couldn't let go of it!
In fact, until now, no one has really come to sell the land to Xia Yuanji, these people are profiteers, old foxes, otherwise they would not have accumulated such wealth.
