Chapter 349: Liaodong Railway
After sending Shen Wansan away, Zhu Biao couldn't wait to ask Zhu Han: "Uncle, Shen Wansan is a genius in business, but in my opinion, he and Uncle you are more than 108,000 miles apart, uncle~ You teach me, how should this business develop?" How should the court reconcile the problems arising from business development? ”
Zhu Han faced the studious Zhu Biao, and also had the idea of careful cultivation, he said to Zhu Yuanzhang that he said to promote the troika theory of the development of Ming commerce, and then said more carefully: "Stimulate domestic demand, this is what the court should do, foreign trade and local trade, we only need to let the Ming state-owned business and private business achieve a balance, policy is a way to reconcile the contradictions, the most important thing is to stimulate domestic demand." ”
Zhu Biao listened very carefully, and Zhu Han didn't just say a general idea like when he explained to Zhu Yuanzhang, but said in detail: "What is domestic demand?" In my opinion, the basic thing is to serve the people, build the road to their doorstep, don't worry about the mud when it rains, connect the road into a network, so that the people can go to all parts of the country more conveniently, what the people need, we will do, as long as it can improve the people's living standards, and can not make a profit, is what we need to do. ”
After Zhu Han finished speaking, Zhu Biao said again: "Then we can set up shops on both sides of the highway, wouldn't this allow merchants to be stationed in?" If the people are in a hurry, can they have a place to eat and sleep? ”
"Well, that's the truth."
Zhu Han was very happy that Zhu Biao could draw inferences from one another, and said to Zhu Biao: "You can think of the idea of making shops on both sides of the road is very good, which shows that you have a broad vision and a certain overall view. ”
“……”
Being praised by Zhu Han like this, Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed.
In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he never received these praises, and he was hit everywhere, which made Zhu Biao a little doubtful of his ability, so he studied harder, asked the ministers of the DPRK and China, and worked hard to improve himself.
But today, Zhu Han said that he has a wide vision...... Zhu Biao was embarrassed at the same time, but also a little incredulous, but said to Zhu Han: "Uncle, there are many things I don't do well, and I have to learn more in the future." ”
"Brother scolded you again, didn't he? Say you can't do a lot of things? ”
Zhu Han looked at Zhu Biao, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he immediately knew that he had guessed correctly, Zhu Han said to Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, don't listen to him, you live in a different environment, you should listen to what he says, but you have your own opinion on what to do, as for what he says to you, don't take it to heart." ”
After speaking, Zhu Han paused and asked Zhu Biao a question: "Do you know what are the basic conditions for a successful emperor?" ”
“???”
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "Open your mouth and actively accept advice?" Hearts for the people? ”
"It's not."
Zhu Han shook his head and said to Zhu Biao: "On the basis of not being stupid, you can live longer, this is the basic condition for being a good emperor." ”
If Zhu Di's son Zhu Gaochi and grandson Zhu Zhanji can live for ten more years, they will not end up like that, Zhu Qizhen, the god of war of the Ming Dynasty, did something wrong in the first half of his life, and there will be a chance to change it in the future, isn't it just a few more years of life?
When Zhu Biao heard Zhu Han's words, he was confused, and Zhu Han patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder: "The body is the capital of everything, you have to have a good body, instead of reading at night and overdrawing your life." ”
"My dad ......"
Zhu Biaogang wanted to use Zhu Yuanzhang as an example, but was directly interrupted by Zhu Han: "Your father is not a normal person, you are now the time to grow your body, you can't learn from him." ”
Therefore, during the time when Zhu Yuanzhang left, although Zhu Biao also went to bed early and got up early, he did not stay in the palace every day to sit, but was driven by Zhu Han to exercise.
You must exercise for two hours a day, otherwise you must not work.
The officials were very unhappy when they saw Zhu Han treat Zhu Biao like this.
He is the future prince and the head of a hundred officials, how can he be allowed to indulge in fun all day long, instead of devoting himself to the handling of political affairs?
Zhu Han, this is ruining the future prince!
As a result, many officials began to play, and even sent letters to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was far away in Liaodong, denouncing Zhu Han's behavior of biasing Zhu Biao, and I don't know what the consequences of the letters to Zhu Yuanzhang and the recitals were played, but the imperial history and the recitals of the officials played in the court were all beaten back by the cabinet.
Playing?
Play a fart!
Zhu Biao went to exercise, but the affairs of governing the court and managing the local area all fell on the cabinet and the six ministries, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province, Zhu Biao is willing to let go of power, and the officials are happy, and you guys are still playing a fart!
Moreover, you can clock in and out of work on time every day, which is much more comfortable than when you follow Boss Zhu.
When following Zhu Yuanzhang as an official, he had to be scared every day, for fear of being cut off by Zhu Yuanzhang, but following Zhu Biao as an official, he didn't have to worry all day long, and he could clock in and out on time every day, why was such a good prince attacked?
Hit them all back!
Zhu Biao is willing to delegate power, the cabinet officials are full of energy, and their ability to handle government affairs has improved a lot compared to when Zhu Yuanzhang was there.
Whoever dares to attack Zhu Biao, who dares to attack Zhu Han, will be the enemy of the entire court cabinet and the six Shangshu, and each of them will be cleaned up.
In the face of this situation, Zhu Biao was happy to see it, and according to Zhu Han's suggestion, he focused on the handling of personnel relations and the structure of the court, and let the courtiers solve other things if they could be solved, and basically did not interfere.
The court was happy, and the officials thought of Zhu Biao's goodness, and felt that Zhu Biao was the true son of heaven and the best heir of Zhu Yuanzhang.
But Zhu Han knows that Zhu Biao is not as humble and gentleman as he shows, he is the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and his inner 'hardness' is in the same vein as Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Zhu Yuanzhang left, Zhao Min also clarified her work ideas and was ready to go out to work, she set her sights on the spinning mill.
Although in a very few places, many women have come out of their homes to work in some spinning mills built by merchants, but they are only a small part of them, most of them are because the conditions at home are very difficult, or the man in the family has died, and in order to take care of the children, they have to go out to earn money to support the family.
The vast majority of women still spin yarn at home with a spinning machine, and then take it out and sell it, which will reduce the time to go out.
What Zhao Min wants to do is to lure out the women who work at home and go to the factory to carry out textile operations, in Zhu Han's words: everyone working together can improve efficiency and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
This is another reform of Zhu Han, now the ratio of men and women in the Ming population is about 1:1, even if all the men go out to work, there are close to 100 million women who cannot carry out large-scale operations, for the rapid development of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Han has set his sights on these women, even if only half of the women go to work in the factory, this is also a very huge improvement.
After Zhao Min understood Zhu Han's thoughts, she began to actively prepare, and when the preliminary work was almost done, she was going to talk to Zhu Han about this matter and see if she could do it.
However, Zhu Han did not accept it, but excused himself on the grounds that he was too busy and had no time.
How could Zhao Min not understand where Zhu Han was busy, obviously wanting to let himself go to Liu Sanniang.
She couldn't understand why Zhu Han regarded Liu Sanniang so important.
It is clearly something that he can solve with one sentence, and he has to let Liu Sanniang make a decision.
"This weirdo!"
Although Zhao Min complained, he still had to obediently go to Liu Sanniang.
When Liu Sanniang saw Zhao Min, she didn't have a good face, and when she met, she said directly: "After living at home for so long, I thought you had been refusing to come to see me." ”
“……”
Zhao Min opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
It's so embarrassing.
Outside the male protagonist and inside the female protagonist, it stands to reason that Zhao Min should have gone to see Liu Sanniang when she came to the British Palace, but because of her inner embarrassment and stubbornness, she has always wanted to avoid Liu Sanniang.
However, Liu Sanniang was so straightforward, which also relieved Zhao Min of a certain psychological burden, and she said to Liu Sanniang: "Sanniang, I didn't mean to avoid you, but what I did before, made me shameless to face, and now I know that I am wrong, and I have come to ask Sanniang for guilt." ”
"Please?"
Liu Sanniang pretended to be very surprised, and said to Zhao Min: "Didn't you come to me for something?" How can we say that we are guilty of sin? ”
"I ......"
Zhao Min was choked by Liu Sanniang again, and Liu Sanniang knew what he was doing.
Did Zhu Han tell her?
Zhao Min was choked by Liu Sanniang twice in a row, her mentality had completely exploded, and her previous preparations were all in vain at this time, so Zhao Min had to adjust her breathing and clear her mind: "Sanniang, I came to see you, I do have something to look for you, but that is for the future, what I should do now is to apologize to you, and His Royal Highness...... I'm sorry for him. ”
"The previous things have nothing to do with me, since you want to apologize to the King of England, then wouldn't it be better for you to go to the King of England?"
Liu Sanniang looked at Zhao Min and said to her: "You still want to understand why you came to see me, and then come to find me, otherwise I am afraid that you will not be able to complete the task assigned to you by the King of England." ”
“……”
Leaving Liu Sanniang's house, Zhao Min, who had a muddy brain, had a little room to think.
I...... Am I being played by Zhu Han and Liu Sanniang?
……
After Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in Yanjing, he did not stay in Yanjing for too long, in order to strengthen his rule over the north, Zhu Han and he formulated a lot of strategies, and the development south of Yanjing was good, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't find any fault.
After leaving Yanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang went to Liaodong.
In Liaodong, a railway line from east to west has already begun to be built, and in the ports of southern Liaoning, ships carrying iron ore are one after another, and countless iron ores are melted into rails in the ports and then transported through the rails.
Zhu Yuanzhang went to Liaodong for this railway.
Li Wenzhong accompanied him.
Zhu Yuanzhang has experienced trains, and Ma Xiuying and Li Wenzhong are both taking it for the first time.
The first feeling of the two is: convenient! And then there's comfort.
In the train, I want to sleep, sleep, eat, and eat, and I don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun, which has aroused praise from Ma Xiuying and Li Wenzhong.
Listening to the praise of the closest people, Zhu Yuanzhang was very proud, and said with a smile: "Seventy-five helped us invent the train, and when the railway is paved with the Ming Dynasty, the people of our Ming Dynasty can sit on the ground and travel three thousand miles a day, and go wherever they want, the current railway is the main artery that runs through the east and west, from Liaodong to the steppe, and then to the Zar Khanate, if we can, we will build the railway to Rome!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's bold words made Ma Xiuying's eyes shine with a sparkling light, and she couldn't help but say: "This train has really changed our Daming, sitting on the car is no different from sitting on the ground, you can walk freely in the carriage, and you can eat...... This is the credit of Qiwu, and when you return to Yingtian, you must reward Qiwu. ”
The reward that Ma Xiuying said was to cook a few more meals for Zhu Han, in Ma Xiuying's opinion, any high-ranking official is not as good as cooking for Zhu Han himself, and Zhu Han also likes this kind of reward.
"yes, thanks to Seven-Five."
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that Zhu Han was indispensable to Daming today, but Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little dissatisfied: "However, we think that there are still a lot of good things that have not been taken out in Qiwu, this kid is too lazy, and when we return to Yingtian, we will definitely turn his head upside down and see what good things can be taken out." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang took a train to Liaodong and inspected the food of the workers in the smelter.
In the smelters of Liaodong, seventy percent of the craftsmen were captives, they were Mengyuan people, Jurchen tribes, Wadao and Goryeo sticks, and these people actually had no identity.
The person in charge of the smelter told Zhu Yuanzhang that although these people were prisoners, they did not treat them badly in terms of food, and as long as they worked honestly and did not cause trouble, they would be given an identity that could become ordinary people.
Of course, these captives do the most dangerous work, digging coal mines, digging iron ore can easily cause landslides, thousands of captives buried in the ground every year, the Han people are responsible for transportation and other work, as long as the captives do not die for a day, the Han people basically will not go to the mines to work.
The person in charge of the factory told Zhu Yuanzhang that the reason why there will be landslides and other things now is because the current safety measures are not fully prepared, and many things are done for the first time, so they can only cross the river by feeling the stones, and solve the problems when they encounter them, so as to take this opportunity to solve the dangers caused by mining......
After explaining so much, I am still worried that Zhu Yuanzhang will go berserk, who in the world does not know that Zhu Yuanzhang loves the people like a son? If Zhu Yuanzhang knew that so many people would die, it would not be something that the person in charge of the factory could withstand if he went crazy.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this was Zhu Han's idea, and he didn't know why Zhu Han was so hostile to the Jurchens, the little devils in Goryeo and Wadao, and so many people died...... Zhu Yuanzhang was also distressed, but thinking that these people were not Han, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood was a little smoother.
