Lao Zhu was also full of surprise, and subconsciously walked down the steps and was amazed around the train.

He saw trains differently than officials.

Although he also thinks that this thing is quite expensive, it is a one-time investment that will benefit future generations.

Once the Ming Dynasty built such a railway, the grain, grass and soldiers in the south could be continuously transported to the north through the railway, thus launching a lasting blow to the Northern Yuan!

The biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty against the northern grassland is the transfer of grain and grass, if you want to transport a stone of grain to the northern border, the cost of eating horses on the road alone has to reach seven or eight stones, and the real one out of ten is not left.

If such a train is used that does not use manpower and animal power to pull the cart, how much food will Daming have to save every year?

"Good stuff!"

"If this thing is built, we will no longer be afraid of the grassland gangs!"

"It's a big deal for us, let's build the railway directly to the door of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and kill him directly, hahaha!"

When Lao Zhu said this, the model train happened to be driving up a steep slope.

Everyone held their breath when they saw this, for fear that the slow train would jam or slide down a steep slope.

Lao Zhu was also full of nervousness, and when he saw that the train only slowed down slightly, climbed up the steep slope without the slightest pause, and dived down from the steep slope, his face showed a relieved expression.

Lao Zhu put his arms around the eldest grandson and touched the eldest grandson's little head with a smile on his face.

"That's a good job!"

"We're allowed, I'm allowed you to set up that Ministry of Railways."

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile when he heard this.

"Grandpa Huang, don't just talk about it, this thing costs a lot to build, and you don't even think about it if you don't have two or three million taels of silver."

"Look, what is this money for?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, it was as if someone had stuffed a rag into his mouth, and the dragon's mouth was instantly closed.

Dare to be affectionate for a long time, this grandson is waiting for him here!

"Aren't you rich, eldest grandson?"

"You put it on first, and we'll give it to you when we have the money!"

Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes when he heard this, and his little face turned away.

"No money!"

"You're just going to kill me, and I don't have any money!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he couldn't wait to give this rebellious grandson two feet. This rebel grandson is so generous to those little uncles Wang, as soon as he makes a move, he will pay 100,000 taels of silver per person, why is he so slammed the door when he arrives!

Zhu Yunxi saw that Lao Zhu didn't speak, and began to tease Lao Zhu again.

"Grandpa Huang, if we have this thing, the border soldiers will no longer have to worry about food and grass."

"It's good, you can skip eating, drinking, and sleeping. From the capital to Datong, it only takes three to five days to arrive, which is really fast and saves money!"

"If you get dozens of trains, our millions of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty can be deployed to the border of the Ming Dynasty at will within a few days......

When Lao Zhu heard this, he looked at the model train running in the main hall, and his eyes were red with greed.

Lao Zhu really wants to beat the eldest grandson on the ground now!

This grandson is definitely deliberate, knowing that Daming has no money and can't afford to build such a railway, so he has to take this thing out, isn't this a stupid old man who is greedy for himself! ….

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu turned his head with disgust, and then waved his hand at the eldest grandson.

"What, take it away for us, don't defile our place!"

Zhu Yunxi asked shyly when he heard this.

"Grandpa Huang, you really don't want to have a railroad like this?"

"We don't want to!"

"Since you don't want to, then can your grandson be torn down?"

"Demolition!"

"Hurry up!"

"After the demolition, we still have to talk about business!"

Lao Zhu walked up the steps with a snort as he spoke. However, he had barely walked a few steps when he heard the rebel grandson behind him speak again.

"Alas!"

"Originally, my grandson wanted to contribute a strategy with you, so that the imperial court could have such a railway without spending a penny."

"Since the imperial grandfather doesn't like it, then don't say it!"

"Demolition!"

With Zhu Yunxi's order, Ma Bo immediately took someone to dismantle the model. However, they were about to make their move when they were interrupted by an anxious voice.

"Slow!"

Lao Zhu ran down the steps with a kind face, and enthusiastically took the eldest grandson's hand and said.

"Eldest grandson, what did you just say, can you repair such a railway without spending a penny from the imperial court?"

Although Zhu Yunxi said that he was angry with Lao Zhu, his desire to do things was real. Seeing Lao Zhu agreeing so simply, Deng Shi smiled happily.

"Grandpa Huang, the grandson of the railway construction can raise it by himself, and he does not need the help of the imperial court to pay for it, but the income from the construction of the railway will also go to the grandson."

"Exactly!"

Lao Zhu agreed without thinking about it when he heard this, but Chen Zongli, the head of the household department on the side, quit.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"

"If the proceeds go to the emperor's grandson, what will the imperial court do to transport troops and grain in the future, will it also give money to the emperor's grandson?"

"This matter must be determined clearly, what kind of benefits the imperial court can enjoy, and what kind of benefits the imperial grandson can enjoy."

Zhu Yunxi saw that the emperor's grandfather was fooled by himself and agreed, but suddenly a Chen Zongli jumped out and immediately yelled at him viciously.

"The court didn't give out a penny, why should you share the income with me!"

Chen Zongli also replied without giving in.

"Who said that the court didn't have a penny?"

"The emperor's grandson built a road to occupy the land of the imperial court, such a long railway, it must not occupy a little bit of land!"

Zhu Yunxi stared and said nonsense.

"The whole world is not the king's land!"

"Lonely, who is a grandson, what's wrong with using his grandfather to point the land!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi's strong words came out, the officials in the court all looked up at the sky, and they looked like they didn't understand what Zhu Yunxi said.

Chen Zongli also smiled and retreated into the team, just looked at Lao Zhu playfully, and Lao Zhu's face was feverish.

Although the whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

But since ancient times, the division between kings and ministers has been clear.

There is a clear line between what is royal and what is royal.

Just like the old Zhu Gui is the emperor, there is no reason to pull everything to his own house.

Even if he made a few sons vassal kings, it took a lot of effort and caused a lot of trouble.

In principle, rivers, lakes and seas, mountains and rivers, roads, etc., all belong to the imperial court. ….

The imperial court is nominally under the leadership of the royal family, but the royal family is only the leader, which does not mean that the imperial court is the private property of the royal family.

If you really regard the imperial court as your own and take it away from the imperial court, then it will not be far from the death of the country.

Although Lao Zhu has always regarded the world as the private property of Lao Zhu's family, he only thinks so in his heart, and on the surface, he still maintains the righteous name of the imperial court.

Therefore, under the gaze of a group of civil and military officials, Lao Zhu's heart felt empty for a while.

"Rebel Sun!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhu Yunxi also knew that he was talking nonsense, he was deliberately messing around. Now hearing Lao Zhu's anger, he hurriedly stepped aside and secretly bared his teeth at Chen Zongli.

Lao Zhu saw the strange appearance of the eldest grandson, and then realized that he almost fell in love with this grandson.

He also thought that this rebellious grandson had changed his sex, and he knew that he had done things for the court regardless of personal gain, and he dared to love this grandson and wanted to prostitute for nothing!

Lao Zhu was a little angry when he thought of this, angry that the eldest grandson was too stingy.

He is the grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire Ming Dynasty will be his in the future, why is he so clear about it with the imperial court?

In Lao Zhu's simple values, he is the emperor, he represents the imperial court, and the imperial court is his private property.

Therefore, when he formulated a series of systems, he never thought of a clear distinction between public and private, and if he was short of money, he would take it directly from the treasury of the imperial court, and the imperial court would move it from the treasury of the palace when he was short of money.

But Lao Zhu knew how to restrain his desires, and he advocated frugality and did not like extravagance and waste, so it had little impact on the finances of the imperial court.

However, his financial thinking of not separating public and private also brought a series of financial problems to the later Ming Dynasty.

The emperor after Lao Zhu wanted to spend some money, which was called a struggle.

For example, Emperor Longqing, the son of Emperor Jiajing, wanted to make some jewelry for his concubines, but he would be scolded by civil officials for being extravagant. If you want to reward someone with something, you will also be rejected by the civil officials.

As for building a garden and building a palace, it will be even more troublesome, and he can only be scolded by the civil officials as a gentleman.

In order not to cause this trouble, the emperors of later generations directly sent eunuchs to various places to collect taxes.

But in this way, it gave birth to the chaos of mine supervisors and tax supervisors, which caused a lot of damage to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxi's clear attitude of distinguishing between public and private is the most suitable way for Daming.

Clearly stipulate what is royal and what is royal.

The royal money naturally belongs to the royal family. The province's own descendants want to build a pavilion in the palace, and they have to look at the faces of a group of civil officials.

As for the money of the imperial court, it cannot be squandered by civil officials, and it must be spent under the supervision of the emperor.

Lao Zhu scolded the eldest grandson and looked at Chen Zongli with an unkind gaze.

"Chen Zongli, then tell me, whether this road is still repaired or not, and if so, how should it be repaired?"

Chen Zongli also knew the benefits of building a railway, but he just didn't want any benefits to be taken by the royal family.

It's not that he thinks like this, but all the civil and military generals think like this.

Since ancient times, the struggle for power between emperors and courtiers has never stopped.

When Lao Zhu was dividing the kings, the military generals also had a lot of opinions.

The reason for their opposition is also very simple, why should we work so hard to give your son as a fief for no reason? ….

Therefore, as far as the matter of dividing the seal is concerned, Lao Zhu is very unreasonable in the court. In the end, it was he who used imperial power to forcibly suppress opposition, and only then did he divide his sons into feudal kings.

Chen Zongli saw that the old emperor called him by name, and after thinking about it, he stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the railway is naturally a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it must be repaired."

"But Weichen secretly thinks that all the proceeds of the railway cannot go to the emperor's grandson, at least the imperial court must take a part."

"Moreover, for all major military affairs, the imperial court can also requisition them without compensation to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the border army as soon as possible."

"In this way, the imperial court would have to send full-time officials to supervise the railways, and would have the power to stop and requisition the railways at any time......

As soon as Chen Zongli's words came out, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty expressed their support.

"Your Majesty, Chen Shangshu's words are reasonable!"

"Railways are related to the lifeblood of the country, and are related to the transfer of freight, materials, and people from the north to the south.

Lao Zhu heard the courtiers overwhelmingly support Chen Zongli, and said a reason that he didn't believe in himself.

"Our eldest grandson is the grandson of the Ming Emperor, is there any difference between the railway in the hands of our eldest grandson and the hands of the imperial court?"

"When our eldest grandson becomes the emperor in the future, won't this railway naturally be managed by the imperial court?"

"Eldest grandson, did you say that?"

Lao Zhu originally wanted to give the eldest grandson a step and let the eldest grandson get off the donkey.

However, he underestimated the greed of the eldest grandson, and when his eldest grandson heard this, he just stood there and pretended to be stupid, completely ignoring him, an old man.

Chen Zongli and the others listened to Lao Zhu's words, and they all secretly laughed in their hearts, what is his imperial grandson, doesn't he have any points in his heart?

The emperor's grandson is different from him, the emperor, and there is a clear distinction between public and private!

Lao Zhu touched a soft nail at Zhu Yunxi's place, so he didn't have the face to mention it.

"This matter is on hold for now!"

"Let's continue

Go on to the court!"

As soon as Lao Zhu's voice fell, Zhan Wei, the secretary of the ministry, walked out again with a fold.

He had several questions about the appointment of local officials today, and he had to ask the old emperor for his opinion before he could carry them out.

However, as soon as he wanted to go up with the fold, he saw Zhu Yunxi jumping out in front of him.

"Grandpa Huang, grandson has a play!"

Lao Zhu is almost annoyed with this grandson now, and he has come up with a train, and Daming can't afford to repair it now. This grandson can afford to cultivate, and he doesn't want to share it with the court.

If it weren't for the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military staring now, he really wanted to hang up the rebel grandson and beat him severely!

This rebel grandson didn't want to repair the railway for the imperial court at all, why did he take out this thing and look at others!

"You stay aside first, let Zhan Wei speak first......

"No!"

"Grandpa Huang taught his grandson for so long yesterday, didn't he just hope that his grandson would be diligent in government?"

"Today, my grandson will give you a visit to show you what your grandson is capable of!"

When Lao Zhu saw that he was going to say this, he was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

"Say!"

"Grandpa Sun Chenqi Huang, the function of my Daming Post Station is too simple, and it can only be used for the transmission of military newspapers and official documents, and cannot cover the needs of the people."

"Sun Er proposed to establish a postal department and set up post offices in various counties and market towns across the country to fully meet the needs of the people of Daming to mail letters and parcels." ….

"The existing post station system can also be managed by the Ministry of Posts!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he refused without thinking about it.

There are six departments of the imperial court, which have existed in ancient times.

It's good that this grandson doesn't go to school, and as soon as he gets into the book, he will establish a new ministry in addition to the six.

According to his tossing method, in one morning's work, Da Ming had to change from six to eight!

"Not allowed!"

Lao Zhu rejected the request of the rebel grandson, so he hurriedly greeted Zhan Wei.

"Zhan Wei, what did you just want to say?"

Zhan Wei was just about to speak, but Zhu Yunxi on the other side spoke again.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson has something to do!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was so angry that he hammered the armrest of the dragon chair.

"Rebel Sun, you're still finished!"

Zhu Yunxi faced Lao Zhu's roar and filial piety, and looked over without showing weakness.

"It's not over!"

"The grandson played the emperor's grandfather, and the grandson consulted the household registration atlas of Ying Tianfu, and ordered someone to visit the people to get a set of data."

"There are 100,000 newborns every year in Yingtianfu, but the adult rate of these 100,000 babies is less than 30%."

"More than 60 per cent of babies die before the age of 10."

"More than 40 per cent of babies die before the age of two."

"More than ......"

Originally, Lao Zhu thought that this grandson was going to mess around again and annoy himself with some inconsequential things. But when he heard the shocking data, the anger on his face gradually subsided, and was replaced by an inexplicable shock.

Daming dies so many babies every year?

No wonder the total population of the Ming Dynasty can't be raised, how can such a dead method restore the prosperity of China!

Lao Zhu is very big about the recovery of the Ming population, if it weren't for the civil officials to stop him, he would want to cancel the folk custom of "keeping filial piety" for parents, so that people have more time to have children.

Even if an official stopped him, he secretly shortened the time of filial piety a lot.

The reason why Lao Zhu's population has grown so much is only because for every more person in the Ming Dynasty, there will be one more soldier in the imperial court, and one more person will be sent to the imperial court to serve and pay taxes.

In a word, there is money in some people, and there is power in more people!

In fact, this is also what the emperors of all dynasties have been doing, and some dynasties are directly matched with officials who lack people, even if there are widows who want to keep festivals, the government will directly match you with a husband, and let you give birth to a new husband and the country.

"Ying Tianfu is 30 years old and the number of deaths exceeds 10,000 every year......

"Ying Tianfu is sixty years old

The mortality rate of the above population exceeds 20,000 per year......

Lao Zhu couldn't stand it when he heard this, so he hurriedly stopped.

"Say no more!"

"Just tell us directly, why do we die so many babies every year!"

"Back to the emperor's grandfather, the reason why so many people die of illness every year in our Daming is because there are too few medical institutions in my Daming, and the people lack medical treatment and medicine, and lack scientific guidance."

"In many villages, when babies are sick, they can only turn to the goddess and the god to ask for some water to cure the disease. This is the kind of medical environment that leads to a very high mortality rate for babies."

"Therefore, my grandson proposed to build three medical colleges near the capital to teach medicine to meet the medical needs of the people of the Ming Dynasty!" ….

"Build!"

Lao Zhu gritted his teeth and said.

"It costs as much as you want to build!"

"Even if we sell our palace, we must build a medical school!"

"Eldest grandson, you can just say how much you want!"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the numbers on the fold, and then said vigorously.

"It doesn't cost much, but it is estimated that the initial investment of three million taels of silver is enough."

"Follow-up investment...... It is estimated to be about 1 million taels per year, which is not a large amount......

When Lao Zhu heard this number, his old face twitched.

Three million taels is not a decimal number?

How many tens of thousands of taels of silver can be credited to our Ming treasury in a year!

"Chen Aiqing, do you see that there is pressure on this money?"

Chen Zongli only felt a lot of pressure when he heard this "Chen Aiqing".

This old emperor is also absolutely amazing, if there is something Chen Aiqing, there is nothing Chen Zongli, and when he is angry, he is a dog......

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen can make up 300,000 taels when he is full, and the remaining 2.7 million taels can only wait for next autumn's harvest......

"If the imperial court still uses troops against the Northern Yuan next year, then this matter will have to be postponed to the year after tomorrow, or the year after tomorrow......

As soon as Lao Zhu heard this, he felt a splitting headache.

He wanted to do too many things, but the money in the court was always insufficient.

If he didn't know about it, it would be fine, now let him know that Da Ming has to kill so many babies and prime-aged laborers every year because of lack of medical treatment, and his heart hurts so much that he is bleeding!

Just when Lao Zhu was helpless, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the reverse grandson smirking at the bottom of the steps.

When Lao Zhu saw this situation, his mind suddenly lit up.

Yes!

What kind of steel and briquettes in this grandson's hands are all businesses that make a lot of money, and if you don't get a few million taels of silver a year, you can let this grandson put the money first!

"Eldest grandson, do you see if you can help the court first, and then ...... when the court has money in the future?"

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson's money is also hard-earned, and there are shares of Grandma Guo in it, so my grandson can't ...... it."

Lao Zhu didn't wait for the rebel grandson to finish speaking, and then added.

"If you do this well, we will exempt you from going to the court every day in the future, and only let someone send you a copy of the record of the court's major events, so that you can familiarize yourself with what happened in the court!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard Lao Zhu say this, he immediately knelt on the ground, the banter on his face was swept away, and he said with a righteous face.

"Serving the emperor's grandfather, serving the court, and serving the world is the duty of the grandson!"

"Please rest assured, grandpa Huang, grandson will do this well!"
