Chapter 184: Zhu Yuanzhang's Comparison
When Zhu Li heard this, he only felt that he had heard a joke, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Eldest nephew, you don't need to talk politely to the third uncle, right?"
"You just took over such a big mess, the Ordnance Bureau has to consume 300,000 catties of fine iron in a month, and the little money allocated to you by the household department can't even support it for a month!"
"When the time comes, you delay the major events of the imperial court, you don't care if you lose some people, and you lose your imperial grandfather's people, that's a big sin!"
"The third uncle will send you 50,000 taels of silver to spend today, if it's not enough, then go to me and ask me, even if I go back to the fiefdom, you can spend the money of the Jin Palace, you can spend as much as you want!"
Zhu Li's words made Zhu Yunxi completely blind, and he contracted the government-run workshop to make money, not to lose money!
"Third uncle, are you sure that I will pay?"
Zhu Li snorted coldly when he heard this.
"Isn't that obvious, now that the price of refined iron has risen to 300 wen a catty, just the little silver allocated to you by the household department, after buying 300,000 catties of refined iron, you will have some money left to buy coal, and you still want to support it until the New Year?"
Zhu Yunxi's eyes widened like a toad when he heard this.
"What?"
"A pound of iron will be sold for 300 wen?"
"Why don't they rob it!"
Zhu Li glared at Zhu Yunxi when he heard this.
"What do you think?"
"Fine iron is already expensive, but now that there is a war going on in the north, the price is naturally even more expensive."
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he realized that at this time, it was the industrially backward Ming Dynasty, which was far from being comparable to the great industrial era of later generations.
After all, the output of steel mills in later generations was measured in "10,000 tons", and the Ming Dynasty at this time was measured in "catties".
Zhu Li was angry when he thought of this, and while he was angry that his father didn't stop this grandson, he was angry that this grandson had no brains and dared to take any errand.
Now that the price of iron is soaring, it has almost doubled as usual, and this grandson dares to contract so many government-run workshops with 150,000 taels of silver from the household department, which is really too overwhelming.
"It's a little more expensive, but now in this market, you can't do without it, right?"
Zhu Yunxi snorted when he heard this.
"I don't need it yet!"
"Isn't it iron, I'm going to refine it myself!"
Zhu Li heard Zhu Yunxi's unashamed words, and burst out with a sneer again.
It's really ignorant and fearless, thinking that fine iron is cabbage, and you can have as much as you want?
"Stop bragging!"
"Hurry up and find someone to carry the silver in, I'll have to go back to sleep in a while!"
Seeing that Zhu Li didn't believe it, Zhu Yunxi immediately led him to the scientific research area of the primary school, pointed to a high stove and said.
"Third uncle, this is my new invention of the blast furnace steelmaking method, are you interested in participating in it?"
Zhu Li didn't know what the blast furnace steelmaking method was, but he was very interested in the furnace that appeared in front of him.
"Can you make steel in this furnace?"
"Of course!"
"However, it was only experimental before, and it has not been applied on a large scale."
"What is the quality of the refining?"
"It's okay, not to mention sharpening iron like clay, but it's definitely better than cutting mud like iron."
Zhu Li automatically ignored the eldest nephew's last sentence, staring at the smoking blast furnace in amazement.
"With such a big furnace, you can refine a few hundred catties at a time, right?"
Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"Third uncle, the pattern is small!"
"If you don't practice a few thousand catties this time, you are worthy of its name as a blast furnace?"
"How many thousand pounds?"
Zhu Li's eyes were about to pop out when he heard this, and he only felt that the eldest nephew was blowing harder and harder, and he would be able to go to the sky after a while.
"Don't brag with me here, you can give me a word, do you want this silver or not!"
"Yes!"
Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"You sent it all the way away, if I didn't want it, wouldn't it be a slap in your face?"
Zhu Li rolled his eyes at Zhu Yunxi when he heard this.
"It's okay, your third uncle has a big face, don't worry about losing face!"
"How

Okay! ”
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but say, and hurriedly ran out to beckon someone to pull the silver.
After he left, Zhu Li circled around the blast furnace a few times and called a craftsman to ask a few words.
When he learned that his eldest nephew was not lying, this thing could indeed make steel, and it could make thousands of catties at a time, he was completely relieved, and he didn't wait for Zhu Yunxi to come back to say goodbye to him, but went back to sleep with his hands behind his back.
After Zhu Li left, several more batches of silver came, first of all, Lan Yu's son Lan Nao'er, followed by Fu Youde's son Fu Zhong, as well as Feng Sheng and other descendants of military generals and nobles, all of whom sent a lot of silver. There are tens of thousands of taels, and there are thousands of less.
Only Zhu Yunxi's own uncle Chang Sheng sent the least, only a thousand taels.
Chang Sheng himself was embarrassed to come, so he sent a family to send it over, and left without saying a word.
Later, there were a few princes who had not yet taken up the domain, and they also sent some silver for their respective concubines. Among them, the most ruthless was Concubine Guo Hui, who directly sent 50,000 taels.
Because a discerning person knows at a glance that the so-called trial of the emperor and grandson is just a fight for connections on both sides.
Whether it is Zhu Yunxi or Zhu Yunxi, they are too young, just in the name of supervision.
Moreover, there are many shortcomings on the side of the Ordnance Bureau, and there is a shortage of materials, and if there is not enough silver, let alone the delivery of weapons and farm tools on time and in quantity, it is difficult to even start work normally.
Therefore, all the generals and nobles who are close to Lan Yu have all contributed a meager force.
Zhu Yunxi's side is lively, and Zhu Yunxi's side is not deserted.
First of all, the household department sent a letter to all prefectures and counties, urging them to transfer wood, leather and other materials as soon as possible, and support the military war bureau to start production.
At the same time, the head of the household department also asked His Majesty the Emperor whether to allocate 150,000 taels of silver to the War Bureau.
Lao Zhu agreed without thinking about it, after all, he can't favor one over the other.
It's just that Lao Zhu seems very concerned about the situation on both sides, and it can be said that he asks three questions a day.
"How many people are giving silver to the little rebel grandson today?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, and Sun Ke, the Marquis of Quanning, each sent three thousand taels of silver."
Lao Zhu Wenyan nodded and said that he understood, and then asked Zhu Yunwen about the situation over there.
"King Yan sent 10,000 taels of silver to the second emperor's grandson, and King Qin sent 30,000 taels ......"
Lao Zhu frowned when he heard this, and thought about it secretly.
In fact, just as the hundred officials thought, Lao Zhu also planned to take a look at the direction of the courtiers through this matter.
If it had been placed in the past, when he only had Zhu Yunwen's choice, he would not have bothered to do this.
But now is different from the past, and there is another Zhu Yunxi in his choice, so it is necessary to compare.
However, he did not compare the abilities of the two, but the popularity of the two.
The military generals really like Zhu Yunxi more, and the Wenchen side has the right to cooperate with Zhu Yunxi.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the vassal king who was stranded in Beijing actually ended up in person.
"What's going on with the other vassal kings?"
"Back to the emperor, King Zhou also sent someone to send 20,000 taels of silver to the second emperor's grandson."
"The other vassal kings have no movement now, only the King of Jin, the King of Shu, and the King of Xiang have sent silver to the young master."
"But the King of Shu and the King of Xiang have been in the domain for a short time, and the two of them are a tranquil character, and they only gave 5,000 taels each."
"How much money does Xiao Rebel Sun have on his side now, but it is enough to complete this year's weapon building?"
"Back to the emperor, there is still a lot of difference, but the current money should be paid for two months, and it is not a big problem."
Lao Zhu nodded when he heard this, thinking in his heart that in two months, the autumn tax of the imperial court would be collected, and the treasury should not be as tight as it is now.
"Keep watching!"
"No!"
Erhu came out of the palace and sent a letter to some middle- and lower-class nobles, telling them that after this village, there would be no such shop.
At this time, if you don't help the three emperor grandchildren, when the three emperor grandchildren will ascend to the throne in the future, you won't have a chance to pat yourself again.
So, Zhu Yunxi received another batch of silver. Counting the silver taels allocated by the household department, the funds he now has in hand have reached 600,000 taels.
Although Zhu Yunxi got a lot of silver, he was not in a hurry to produce, but

First, a chamber of commerce called "Minggang" was established, and the money sent by everyone was converted into shares, and each company was sent a certificate of equity.
He is unhurried on his side, but Zhu Yunwen is in full swing.
Half a month later.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the mountains of saddles, bridles, stirrups and other utensils, and felt very proud in his heart.
After half a month of tempering, his heart has changed a lot, and he is not as narrow and impatient as before.
Even for Zhu Yunxi's younger brother, he has a little more understanding.
Zhu Yunxi is right, it is indeed very difficult and tiring to manage the workshop, even if the military bureau is located near the left side of the imperial city, he still feels a little unbearable when he runs around every day.
Thinking that Zhu Yunxi's weapons bureau was outside the city, Zhu Yunxi was full of sympathy for his younger brother.
It is said that he has not been back to the city for a long time, and he has been eating and living in a workshop outside the city, which is really hard enough......
Zhu Yunwen delivered the first batch of military equipment to the Ministry of War, and was immediately praised by the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
The Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry even jointly signed a letter requesting His Majesty the Emperor to commend him.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone's recitals, smiled and threw them aside.
"Erhu, what's going on with Xiao Reverse Sun?"
When Erhu heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and after grinding for a long time, he replied stubbornly.
"Back to the emperor, there is no movement on the side of the third emperor and grandson, and it is said that what kind of bed is being made for forging weapons......"
"Bed?"
Lao Zhu only felt a headache when he heard this, half a month has passed, and this grandson has not produced a single weapon, this is to kill people in a hurry!
"You go and convey our will, if it can't be put into production before the end of the month, we will withdraw the holy decree and throw him into the main hall to continue studying!"
Erhu also panicked when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart that the emperor was really angry.
If you really do this, wouldn't the limelight be taken away by Zhu Yunwen's grandson?
But when he thought of Zhu Yunxi's progress, Erhu was also speechless for a while.
The generals and nobles, as well as the princes in the palace, have sent him hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, even if it is a pig, it can be completed on time, why has there been no movement for so long?
Erhu agreed, and took a few brocade guards to the outside of the city.
Qin Kui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Chen Zongli, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, entered the palace to do business, and happened to see the two tigers galloping away, and the two smiled when they saw this.
"It's in a hurry, hahaha......"
"Not really!"
"They think they can buy iron with money?"
"As everyone knows, if the iron ingots of the guards in various places want to enter Beijing, it will also take time!"
Although the two did not dare to oppose the emperor openly, the documents at all levels of the Ming Dynasty were all in their hands. As long as they drag it out, or don't urge after posting the article, the people below will naturally be sluggish.
The direct consequence of their negligence is that the price of iron in the capital has soared, and it has risen to 500 wen a catty.
"Humph!"
"Over the years, the generals have relied on their merits to bully men and women in the countryside, and it is time for them to spit out some silver!"
