Early the next morning, Zhu Zhangui left the old man's bedroom with a sleepy face.

After deciding to fight a few monkeys last night, the old man and a group of veterans chatted about offensive tactics with great interest, and they also insisted that Zhu Zhangui would not let him go, saying that he wanted Zhu Zhangui to learn from the experience of veterans.

Zhu Zhangui couldn't figure it out, what was there to prepare for fighting a group of monkeys?

With the powerful force of the Ming Dynasty, not much, the three legions can directly cross over, if the Shenji Battalion, which has been replaced with new equipment and reorganized into the second, third, and fourth legions, will be transferred, and the two legions will not be able to skin and eat these monkeys.

This is not Zhu Zhangui's arrogance, but the strength is there, and the military strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

In several monkey countries, the soldiers are not even equipped with complete armor, and the weapons are also varied, and they have no combat effectiveness and no discipline, and they are more like chaotic people.

The two sides really want to collide 1 against each other, and it is not a problem for the Ming soldiers to fight 10 at a time.

What's more, Zhu Zhangui also plans to send an airship to appear in this operation.

The weapon has been researched, so naturally it can't be put in the warehouse to eat ashes, and it should be pulled out to show its majesty.

There are all small countries that have just surrendered, even if they are convinced, they are more or less cautious in their hearts, and if they don't take a chicken to slaughter and deter these monkeys, it may be a little troublesome to manage in the future.

To make a person obedient, either you have a fist or you have money.

Does Daming have any money?

Well, due to the construction of the railway, Daming is really not rich now, so if you want to make these newly attached little brothers obedient and honestly loyal, Daming is going to show his fists and show his strength and bravery.

Since you want to show your fists, you have to take out the most reluctant.

Zhu Zhangui had already thought about it, and when he attacked those monkeys, he also brought these surrendered kings with them, let them see the strength of Daming, and also let them understand that taking refuge in Daming was the wisest decision they had made in their lives.

"Your Highness, that..."

As soon as Zhu Zhangui walked out of the door, the guard monkey who had been squatting outside the door for a night came up with an embarrassed face.

"What's wrong? I want to go to the thatched house! ”

Looking at the other party's embarrassed and tangled look, Zhu Zhangui joked funny.

The monkey scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's not that I want to go to the thatched house, it's a whole month, and it arrived three days ago, and that subordinate forgot it!" ”

As Zhu Zhangui's personal guard, in addition to protecting Zhu Zhangui's safety, he also has another mission, that is, to remind Zhu Zhangui throughout the month.

Zhu Zhangui has so many things to deal with every day, and he doesn't have the time to remember the days, when he is in the palace, he is reminded by Zhao Ling'er, and when he goes out, these guards remind him.

Knowing the reason, Zhu Zhangui stopped, turned his head to look at the monkey, and lowered his head in shame.

As a guard, it is a serious dereliction of duty to forget the master's explanation.

That is, the guard in front of him has been with him for several years, and when he was on the battlefield, he also tried his best to protect himself in front of him, otherwise if he had a normal relationship, Zhu Zhangui would definitely not spare the other party.

It's not a big fuss, in the royal family, no matter how small things are, it's a big thing, and for a monarch, nothing is a small thing.

In the past, when Hu Yu was there, whatever Zhu Zhangui explained, the other party would do it clearly, and there were never any omissions or doubts.

So the monkey guy is indeed a bit sloppy.

"Go get the Ten Sticks yourself!"

Zhu Zhangui shook his head, said the punishment, and strode towards his room.

Listening to the footsteps in the distance, the monkey exhaled secretly and hurriedly followed.

Back in the resting room, the monkey hurriedly walked into the room and led a few people up and down to check it.

It's a daily routine, and it's what he has to do as a guard.

After all, this is not their own territory, and for the safety of their own masters, their precautions must be brought to the top.

"Your Highness, no problem!"

After confirming that the house was safe, the monkey led the people out.

Zhu Zhangui nodded and strode into the house.

After Zhu Zhangui entered, the monkey hurriedly closed the door, pulled out the pistol on his waist, and personally blocked the door to guard the surroundings.

The other guards quickly dispersed, and their brothers who had been standing around the house for a long time stood side by side to form a human wall to block anyone who wanted to enter.

They are used to these jobs for a long time, and they have to come once a month, which is more punctual than the women who come to them.

The picture flashed in front of him, and Zhu Zhangui entered the supermarket that was familiar and could not be more familiar.

Glancing at the direction of the 2nd floor, Zhu Zhangui sighed lightly and walked to the center screen on the 1st floor.

After recovering these small countries, Zhu Zhangui came in with their national seals as soon as possible, wanting to see how many progress bars he could get in exchange.

As a result, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and the number of countries and India together only rose by 3%, and the long progress bar only moved a little, currently only 15%, according to Zhu Zhangui's estimate, if you want to open the third layer, you need at least 5%.

From this, Zhu Zhangui came to the conclusion that the supermarket really collects the luck of various countries, the present and the future, otherwise it is also a subordinate country, why is there such a big gap.

Walking to the center screen, looking at the big extractable words on it, Zhu Zhangui clicked casually.

The items extracted from the 1st floor are no longer very attractive to him, and they are just those gadgets in life, which explode once in a while, and they are also for a series of items, or some cross-era technological items.

Although these things are novel, the scientific and technological content of them is too high, and with the current research ability of the Ming Dynasty, they can't understand these things.

"Ding Ding..."

As the sound of the slot machine slowly stopped, a picture appeared in front of Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui, who was originally going to draw at will and then go back to sleep, looked up at the picture above, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Nima, it's exploded again!"

The picture shows an iron box, rectangular in shape, about the size of an army's ammunition box.

If it's just an iron box, Zhu Zhangui, as the prince of a country, has never seen any kind of box.

The reason why this picture caused him so much surprise was that the case had a long antenna on it, a button connected by a wire on the side, and a headset to wear on the head.

Although Zhu Zhangui has never been a soldier, he still knows this thing in front of him, and the appearance rate of this thing in film and television is too high, especially in movies with small days, which is almost a must.

That's right, what Zhu Zhangui pulled out this time was the main communication tool radio during World War I and World War II.

The name of the item is only a simple two words of the radio station, and there is not much specific introduction, only large, medium, small, super large, 4 models are marked below.

Below each of the 4 models, there are some notes.

The voice communication distance of the small radio station is 5km, and the code communication distance is 20km.

Medium-sized radio station voice communication 50km, code communication 200km.

Large radio station voice communication 500km, code communication 2000km

The voice communication distance of the super-large radio station is 5000km, and the code communication distance is not marked with the distance, but a sentence is expressed with a smiling expression.

"Wherever you can go, you can get electricity."

(Virtual supermarket items, please do not tie them to reality!) ）

"Goodong!"

Looking at the introduction of the super-large radio station, Zhu Zhangui couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

I thought to myself, if this thing is installed, then I can talk to my fat father here.

This Nima, all caught up with the phone.

Zhu Zhangui never dreamed that he could get this thing.

The communication tool that faced the walkie-talkie in front of him was actually purely accidental, and what he got was a set series, if he drew it alone, it is estimated that Zhu Zhangui would wash his hands 800 times, and he might not be able to draw it.

The age of the two technologies is too far apart.

After so many years of exploration of extracting items, Zhu Zhangui can see that the more advanced the technology, the more difficult it is to extract.

Of course, this does not include those foods, which have no technical content, as long as there are raw materials and know the formula, they can be made, it is just a matter of speed.

Zhu Zhangui mentioned the difficulty, referring to those very high-tech items, such as walkie-talkies and the loudspeaker he drew last year.

Why in ancient times, the farther away from Jingshi, the weaker the influence of the imperial court, and even many dynasties perished, and the common people still thought that they lived in that dynasty.

Is it because the court is incompetent and wasteful, is it because the court has no capable people?

No, it's because of communication and access.

Even if an emperor is eloquent, he cannot personally manage the various towns and villages, so he can only hand over these things to the local officials.

In ancient times, when communication relied on roaring and walking, the common people had never been out of the township in their lives, and the ghost knew who the emperor in power was, even if he knew, what was the use, the so-called county officials were not as good as the current management, no matter how strong the emperor was in the great power, it was useless to control them, and since they couldn't be managed, the so-called fear was even more non-existent.

This mentality is not only for ordinary people, but also for local officials.

As the lowest officials of the imperial court, most of them may have never seen the emperor in their lives, and they face their superiors every day.

Isn't it a joke to be like a person who has never even met, let alone spoken, is it a joke?

It is precisely because of these reasons that the imperial power is not as strong as imagined in the minds of the low-level people and low-level officials.

If the emperor and a mid-level official stand in front of them, they fear the mid-level official even more than the emperor, and this is the truth.

Therefore, if the emperor wants to change this phenomenon, he must be like Zhu Zhangui's previous life in the news, and when he has time, he will go down to the people to express his condolences to show his existence and deter those low-level officials.

This kind of thing may seem boring to some, but for the upper echelons, it's not even a big deal about the state.

There were so many capable people in ancient times, and the emperor was not stupid, so they naturally knew the solution to this problem.

But what can you know?

The emperor's travel is very cumbersome and troublesome, even if he travels in simple clothes, there are tens of thousands of people in various trips.

Coupled with the problems of the ancient roads, as well as the reason why it was impossible to communicate when something happened in the country, the emperor did not dare to leave the capital at all.

In addition, the ancient means of transportation were backward, and it was not as simple as a day or two to go from one place to another.

Therefore, for various reasons, even if the upper level knows the problems of the lower level, they can only stare dryly, and even have no choice but to compromise in the end.

As a latecomer, Zhu Zhangui was naturally unwilling to accept his orders, and he couldn't even reach the townships and counties, so he knew that it would cost countless money and food to build railways and lay roads for the provinces, but he still gritted his teeth and supported the construction and paving.

The construction of railways and roads will not only benefit his generation, but will also benefit future generations.

So when the three of them discussed, they all decided that even if the royal family was poor as pants, they had to grit their teeth and complete the laying of the railway and highway.

After the establishment of various highways, another problem was placed in front of the grandchildren, that is, the problem of communication.

The walkie-talkie is too expensive, it is impossible to popularize it to the whole country, not to mention that the communication distance of this thing is not far, the plain area is a little better, if the communication distance in the mountainous area will be directly reduced by more than half, and more importantly, it is too troublesome to charge, and a battery will not last long, it is completely a chicken rib.

But now with radio, this problem is solved.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the communication distance on the radio and began to plan in his heart.

Several important locations in the Beijing Division are placed in super large ones, the provincial political departments are placed in a large one, and the county towns below are medium-sized.

In this way, there is a communication network throughout the country, and if something goes wrong in various places, there is no need to rush to report it for 800 miles, just send a telegram directly.

Thinking of a bright future, Zhu Zhangui happily reached out and clicked on the screen, wanting to see the price.

The screen slowly flipped over, and four small, medium, large and super-large radio pictures appeared in front of him.

The small ones are only the size of a school bag, the very light kind, and the medium ones are the same as shown in the pictures on the previous page, and are the size of an ammo box.

The large size is a bit exaggerated, almost the size of a carriage.

And the super-large, Zhu Zhangui's eyes were directly round.

"This is a radio station, it's bigger than a house."

Looking at the super-large radio station, Zhu Zhangui was shocked by its huge size, but then thinking of the terrifying communication distance of the other party, Zhu Zhangui suddenly accepted it in his heart.

But when he saw the price remarked in the back, Zhu Zhangui's body almost swayed.

"Damn, you're more unreliable than robbery, you know!"

"It's just that you pit money, and you cheat money like this, even if I have mountains of gold and silver, I can't bear a pit like you!"

Looking at the 4 prices, Zhu Zhangui pointed to the screen and sprayed wildly.

He was really shocked by this price, and the price above it can be said to be the first terrifying number that Zhu Zhangui has seen since he got the supermarket.

Small radio station, priced at 1000 taels, with a hand-cranked generator, need to add an additional 100 taels.

Medium-sized radio station, priced at 100,000 taels, with pedal generators, need to add an additional 500 taels.

Large radio stations, priced at 10 million, with small diesel generators, need to add an additional 5,000 taels.

The price of a super-large radio station is 100 million taels, and the price of a super-large hybrid generator is 500,000 taels.

Nima, 100 million taels.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the numbers, his eyes were blank.

Now he finally realized the old man, and he was in the mood to learn that he had 100 million taels.

However, the difference is that the old man is shocked and surprised, while Zhu Zhangui is heartache and flesh pain at this moment, plus egg pain.

Looking at the price on the screen, Zhu Zhangui began to fold his fingers.

"In the past, there were 17 capital divisions, and later 8 were added, that is, 25, and now there are 2,365 counties in the country."

"Each one is equipped with a big one, 10 million x 25, that's 250 million."

"There are 2,365 counties in the country, and each county is equipped with a medium-sized one, 2,365x100,000, which is 236.5 million."

"In addition, Jingshi is equipped with a super-large one, and the distance between Penglai and Beiju Luzhou is so far, it is also necessary to have a super-large one, and three is 300 million."

"Then there's the combination of various charges, which also requires a sum of money."

"250 million plus 236.5 million plus 300 million, plus the price of the charger..."

The fingers stopped, Zhu Zhangui didn't look at the screen, turned his head and walked outside the supermarket, talking to himself as he walked.

"Actually, 800 miles is not bad, if there is a radio station, then the post stations in various places will be withdrawn, didn't Li Zicheng rebel because he was robbed of an errand."

"Yes, for the sake of the people of the world, for the postmen everywhere, and for the stability of the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't matter if the radio is a thing or not."

"Didn't you have a good time when you didn't have a radio station before? You say yes or no. ”

Slowly walked to the door of the supermarket, Zhu Zhangui stopped muttering, turned his head to look at the screen, and then jumped up on the ground with his head in his arms.

"Damn, I want money, I want money, I want money!"

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

When the sun rose in the early morning, the monkey who originally thought that Zhu Zhangui was going to sleep lazily looked at Zhu Zhangui, who came out of the house with a blank look and had been muttering about money and money in his mouth, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Do you have any money?"

Zhu Zhangui turned his head to look at the monkey.

The monkey was stunned for a moment, and without saying a word, he untied the money bag on his waist and handed it to Zhu Zhangui.

"Your subordinates still have a few silver coins here, Your Highness, you can take them at any time."

Zhu Zhangui looked at the money bag handed to him, then at the other guards who were preparing to untie the money bag, sighed and shook his head, turned his head and walked towards the palace where the old man was resting, leaving only the monkeys and guards holding the money bag and looking at each other.

Zhu Zhangui's mind is full of money now, and he is thinking about it now. How can you get 800 million taels of silver?

Thinking of that terrifying number, Zhu Zhangui's body couldn't help but swing again.

"What's wrong with the little cub? Stimulated by something. ”

When Zhu Zhangui arrived at the palace where the old man was resting, the old man was eating breakfast.

The old man who was holding a bowl of porridge and nibbling on steamed buns saw his eldest grandson coming, so he beckoned Zhu Zhangui to come over and eat together.

But as Zhu Zhangui walked in, he found that his eldest grandson's expression was a little wrong.

This is his hope, and it is the hope of the future of the Ming Dynasty, but something can't happen.

Worried about what Zhu Zhangui was stimulated, the old man directly threw away the buns and bowls in his hand, rushed forward in stride, grabbed Zhu Zhangui, and kept slapping and stroking his forehead.

"Grandpa, do you have any money?"

Looking at the anxious old man in front of him, Zhu Zhangui thought that this old man had been an emperor for so many years, and he should have some private money, so he subconsciously asked.

"How much do you want, grandpa will see if he can make it up."

Hearing that the eldest grandson asked for money, the old man didn't even hesitate and agreed directly.

Seeing that the old man was so bold, Zhu Zhangui's eyes lit up and he grabbed the old man's hand.

"That's great, my grandson doesn't want much, it's just a small 800 million taels of silver."

The old man, who had just heard that Zhu Zhangui didn't want much, was so happy in his heart that his eyes widened in surprise by the number Zhu Zhangui said behind him.

"It's not much, it's a small 800 million taels, it's just that!"

The old man looked at his eldest grandson like a fool.

Did the boy have any misunderstanding of his wealth? Or maybe this kid is crazy about money.

800 million taels of silver, their ancestors of the old Zhu family have never seen so much money in their 80 generations, are you sure you are not talking about copper coins?

Looking at the old man's bewildered eyes, Zhu Zhangui pulled him into the house and closed the door.

"Grandpa, I have a batch of new goods, but the price of the other party is relatively high."

"What new goods are worth 800 million taels of silver, he wants to go crazy for money, isn't it, this is not a robbery, he wants to hollow out our Daming!"

】

Hearing that the money was asked for by the other side, the old man slapped the table directly and roared.

His mother's blackmail hit him Zhu Di's head, that is, he couldn't catch this bastard, if this bastard appeared in front of him, a thousand knives would be the lightest punishment.

Damn, his surname Zhu Di is not a pig, this is really fucking slaughtering people as pigs.

He Zhu Di thought that his heart was black enough, but today he found out that compared to the bastard opposite, he Zhu Di can get close to Sage Kong.

"Grandpa, don't worry, listen to what I say, after listening, you will find that the 800 million taels of silver are really not expensive."

Seeing that the old man started a fire, Zhu Zhangui hurriedly appeased.

"Fart!"

As soon as he heard his grandson speak for each other, the old man slapped the table angrily and roared angrily.

"You little cub, have you been fooled by the other party?"

Without waiting for Zhu Zhangui to explain again, the old man stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Zhangui on the head, hating him and saying: "Eight hundred million taels of silver, our ancestors of the old Zhu family have never seen so much money for eighteen generations, what is so valuable, the queen mother's peach?" The throne of the Jade Emperor? ”

"It's really unreasonable, I found out that the guy on the other side is a greedy ghost, at the beginning you bought a few taels of dozens of taels and hundreds of taels, although the price of these things is expensive, but we can still afford it through gritted teeth."

"But this fucking guy is getting more and more black-hearted, a broken iron shell with a few broken wheels, he dares to sell us for 200,000, it's really like silver is a mountain full of stone lumps."

"I don't feel comfortable with the damn price, but I think it's still a little useful, so I bought it."

"It's good this time, this guy saw that we were wronged, and he actually quoted this price, is he not illiterate, he knows that he doesn't know how many things can be bought with this money, all of them can be piled up into a mountain of silver, and they can be exchanged for gold and beaten into coffins, and it is more than enough for their ancestors for eighteen generations, how can he fuck do this!"

The more the old man talked, the more angry he became, and finally directly kicked over the eucalyptus table in front of him, and all kinds of breakfast placed on it were overturned all over the ground.

Zhu Zhangui didn't say anything, and let the old man vent the depression in his heart.

After a while, the old man, who kept panting in circles in the room, sat down in front of Zhu Zhangui.

"Let's talk about it, I'm quite curious about what it is that can make that guy offer such a black price."

Zhu Zhangui grinned.

has been with the old man for so many years, he has already figured out the old man's temper, and when he is angry, he will get angry, curse and even kill people, but he will definitely do what needs to be done.

It's like Yang Shiqi back then, who said that the old man was angry, and if he didn't care about the meal today, he still dealt with the things handed over by the other party in the future.

He took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to the old man.

The old man didn't speak, glanced at Zhu Zhangui, took the paper and looked at it carefully.

Zhu Zhangui has already written clearly about the function of the telegraph and its future impact on the Ming Dynasty.

As an old man who is often with Zhu Zhangui, I often listen to Zhu Zhangui tell stories about soul travel to another world, so I have a certain understanding of some new things.

There were not many words on the paper, but the old man looked at it for a long time, and finally he folded the drawings and put them on the candle next to him and lit them.

"There's no room for bargaining?"

Looking at the burning paper, the old man struggled for a long time, and finally compromised.

The attraction of this thing to him is too great, although he is not the emperor now, but the heart of that country and the world is still beating all the time.

I have to admit that the old man is really interested in this thing, and Zhu Zhangui has made it clear above.

Now Daming's train is paving various roads, the future transportation capacity will be greatly strengthened, if coupled with a variety of radio, Daming's ability to control the place, absolutely unprecedented.

The old man, who has been the emperor for most of his life, has been worried more than once about the lack of influence of the imperial court in the local area.

Now that something to solve this problem appears in front of him, the old man says that it is a lie if he is not tempted.

But the problem is that he really can't accept the price, so he can only tentatively ask if he can bargain.

Zhu Zhangui spread his hands helplessly.

"Grandpa's family is the seller, we are the buyer, and the other party is the exclusive seller, we can't compare if we want to shop around."

"It's not that I didn't negotiate the price with him, but he said before and after, don't ask if you can't afford it."

"What a fucking profiteer, what your grandfather said is really right, none of those businessmen who do business have a conscience, they are open-minded when they see money, they forget their righteousness when they see profit, what a fucking bastard!"

The old man pointed to the sky and cursed for a while, then lowered his head and groaned.

The imperial court must not have enough money, and in order to repair railways and highways, as well as replenish the training equipment of recruits, the imperial court has almost been stripped away.

If there was so much money in the imperial court, their grandfather and grandson would not run out to earn this hard-earned fee.

The money in the bank can't be moved, that is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and if it moves, it is undoubtedly digging a grave.

Like the local recruitment, thinking that the officials in various places often cry poor, the old man gritted his teeth with hatred.

After thinking about it for a long time, he really couldn't think of where to get the money, so the old man looked up at Zhu Zhangui expectantly.

"How did you get that money?"

What the old man means by this is, how did you get so much money in the years you went out?

Zhu Zhangui stretched out his hand and touched his nose, "Didn't Zhang Hang make it clear." ”

"Forced buying, forced buying, robbing houses, forcibly grabbing, anyway, every means I used to make money in those years was to cut off my head in Daming."

The old man waved his hand, "These are not important, you just need to say, I will let go of your hands and feet, and suppress the opposition to the court for you, can you get the 800 million taels of silver!" ”

Zhu Zhangui looked up at the old man, "You mean, I'll continue to rob it!" ”

The old man shook his head, stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhu Zhangui and then at himself.

"It's not you, it's us going to grab it together, and if necessary, call your dad over."

"If there are not enough ships, we will transfer ships from China, if there are not enough soldiers, we will transfer troops from China, who do you want to lead the troops, you can choose the entire Ming Dynasty, even if I am personally on it."

"There is only one task I give you, two years, two years, you must be sure and sure, make up enough for this 800 million taels of silver!"

Zhu Zhangui looked at the old man with a smile when he heard this, "Grandpa, if we rob it, it will be difficult to make those kings sincerely follow." ”

The old man smiled coldly, "I'm going to rob it, and I want to be sincere, it's still mine and ours if people kill all the territory." ”

"Little cub, let me tell you, this person is a weed in the field, the more you cut it, the more vigorous it becomes!"

A few kings who had just surrendered somewhere suddenly felt a sense of happiness and an inexplicable sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe suddenly rose in their hearts.
