Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the busy craftsmen in front of him and couldn't help but be amazed.

He has been in the army for many years, and he thinks he is a big boss, so he has always attached great importance to those cultural people.

I thought that those cultural people were amazing enough, but I didn't expect that these inconspicuous craftsmen would shock him even more than those cultural people.

The fine wine that can be seen everywhere has turned into a life-saving medicine in their hands!

This Hu Chang'an is really amazing!

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at the accompanying military doctor, and said solemnly: "Have you written it down when you look at it?" ”

"It's all written down!" The military doctor hurriedly replied meticulously.

However, he will see it, but he can't guarantee that he can achieve the same effect as Hu Changan.

After hesitating, the military doctor still told his concerns: "The subordinates do understand, but the subordinates can't guarantee that they will be able to make the same alcohol as Young Master Hu after they go back." ”

This alcohol is meant to be used on wounded soldiers!

This is a major matter of human life, even if the military doctor is afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment, he does not dare to joke with human life.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the words of the military doctor and was silent.

At this moment, Hu Changan put forward his own suggestion in a timely manner: "If you don't want to make alcohol, how about leaving it to me?" ”

"At present, Hufu has cultivated a group of specialized craftsmen, and they also have a lot of experience in the production of alcohol, and it is easy to increase the production of alcohol in a short period of time."

"The Hu government is willing to sell the alcohol produced to the government at a low cost price, and the government only needs to spend a certain price to buy alcohol from the Hu government on a regular basis."

"Wouldn't it be a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone without having to go through trial and error in the early stage, and without the government having to pay for additional personnel and space?"

After hearing this, the military doctor couldn't help but praise repeatedly: "Young Master Hu, this idea is good!" In this way, wouldn't the government be able to save a lot of silver? ”

What a brilliant idea! Why hadn't he thought of it before?

However, at this moment, the sound of a heavy object falling on the ground interrupted the military doctor's words.

Zhu Yuanzhang blushed, swept the heavy object on the table next to him to the ground, and shouted angrily: "Hu Changan, what kind of intentions do you have to dare to propose the law of collusion between officials and businessmen to me in a grand manner, are you guilty?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

I?

Could it be that this old man is the current saint Zhu Yuanzhang?

Oh my God, it's the emperor, and the emperor is angry!

Suddenly, everyone hula lala knelt in a large area.

Even the two workers who were originally taking care of the stove quickly jumped down from the stove and bowed their heads.

For a moment, the room was so quiet that it was almost audible to the falling needles, and only the fire was still crackling and burning tirelessly.

However, Hu Changan was not afraid, and just calmly replied: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what is the crime?" The minister just suggested that His Majesty could buy goods from the minister at a low price, and this suggestion was obviously for the good of the court, so what was the crime? ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he became even more angry: "Hu Changan, I read that you are young and don't understand the rules, so I will spare you for the time being." ”

"Do you know that the fact that the government and businessmen cannot collude is already an iron law written in the law?"

"If I buy goods from you at a low price, it will be a start for the officials of the whole world, and they will think that the government can also cooperate with the merchants!"

"Do you know how much corruption and sin will breed in this?!"

"Maybe you have a good heart, but other businessmen don't think so."

"Most of the businessmen are mercenary, and once they collude with the government to gain power, they will be unscrupulous!"

"Forced buying and selling will be common!"

"There may be countless things to buy officials and donate knights in the future!"

"As soon as this wind comes, the country will not be the country!"

"Hu Changan, don't mention this matter again, I'll treat it as if it didn't happen."

Hu Changan listened to it, but he was also silent.

What Zhu Yuanzhang said is indeed reasonable.

The collusion between officials and businessmen in later generations, trading power for money, I don't know how many troubles have been caused!

Many good officials who were originally dedicated to serving the people lost themselves in the banquets and became the capital lackeys of the people!

However, Hu Changan will not give up persuading Zhu Yuanzhang.

Now is the right moment!

If Zhu Yuanzhang has always held this attitude of respecting businessmen, the business of the Ming Dynasty will never be able to develop, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will live in an agrarian society for generations!

The wheels of the times will not stand still because of certain people or certain things.

If China has been trapped in the cycle of an agrarian society, then one day Europa's foreign guns and cannons will knock on the door of this ancient country the year before last, causing hundreds of millions of lives to be destroyed.

Relive a lifetime, Hu Changan does not allow this kind of thing to happen under his nose!

Hu Changan coughed lightly, stared at Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp gaze and said: "Your Majesty, Hu doesn't understand these great principles of governing the country, Hu just wants to ask on a case-by-case basis, does it cost less manpower and material resources to hand over alcohol to Hu Mansion for sale, than the government produces and consumes it on its own?" ”

"In this matter alone, of course, it is the small amount of manpower and material resources that are handed over to Hu Fu for production." This kind of trivial thing that can be known at a glance, of course Zhu Yuanzhang knows.

If the government wants to produce its own alcohol, it must first hire craftsmen and build utensils.

Just hiring craftsmen requires the government to allocate a large amount of money.

After all, these craftsmen are specially hired, and they have to take care of food, housing, and the government, and they have to pay monthly money on time.

And since there is no such thing as alcohol on the market for the time being, the government still has to spend a lot of money to train these craftsmen, and the cost of it is not something that can be solved by just a few thousand taels of silver.

If the government hires Hu to produce alcohol, then there is no need to pay for this series of expenses.

Basically, you only need to pay a few hundred taels of silver a month.

The contrast is stark and clear at a glance.

Hu Changan cleared his throat and continued: "Your Majesty, you also know that it is indeed beneficial to give alcohol to Hu Fu for production. ”

"In that case, why doesn't Your Majesty want to try it first?"

"Just like changing the law, if you are just worried about the turmoil that the change may cause, and resolutely keep the law of your ancestors that has been handed down hundreds of years ago, then how can the whole country make progress?"

"Only by having the courage to try and constantly improve ourselves through mistakes can we make progress!"

"And as the old saying goes, it's better to be blocked than to be sparse."

"Although Your Majesty has now formulated a strict law to prohibit the government from contacting businessmen in private, it is unpredictable that there will always be people who will take risks and make mistakes."

"Instead of blindly banning it, it is better to formulate strict laws to regulate every word and deed of the government."
