Chapter 34 Agricultural, Industrial, and Merchant Merchants

"How dare you?" Liu Yufeng jumped on the spot in anger.

This is to completely cut off the way of life of their smelting division.

"Don't dare, this king dares to move a knife in Fengtian Palace, you see if this king dares to do it!" Zhu Di snorted coldly and gave Guo Ying a look.

Guo Ying immediately received the order, and the war horse under the seat neighed, and he was about to leave.

"What do you want to do, King of the Blue City?" Liu Yufeng was even more furious, thinking of the fact that Zhu Di really raised a knife in Fengtian Hall two months ago, and couldn't help but tremble.

Zhu Di ignored it and rode quietly and waited in place.

Seeing that Guo Ying was getting farther and farther away, Liu Yufeng was also anxious, and said angrily: "Your Highness might as well say it directly, what do you need my smelting division to do?" ”

"20,000 armor weapons, 10,000 shields, 10,000 spears, 20,000 bows, and 100,000 arrows." Zhu Di didn't beat around the bush, after all, he was already a threat.

"This is impossible, the smelting division does not have such a large output at all, and it will take at least three years for His Highness to complete." Liu Yufeng roared irritably, and his head exploded and exclaimed:

"Moreover, it is not used by the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, even if it is an order from His Highness, it does not meet the rules of the Smelting Division, and His Highness needs to settle the account with silver money."

"This matter must be reported to the Ordnance Bureau, and there is no possibility of negotiation."

Zhu Di nodded and said in agreement: "There is no problem with the money, say a price!" ”

"There is no problem in building it in three years, but within a month the king will see three thousand long knives, three thousand bows, and one bow with ten arrows."

"The remainder shall be given to the king on a monthly basis, and must be paid within three years."

Liu Yufeng took a deep breath, lowered his head and calculated, and then said: "A standard saber is ten taels of silver, a pair of armor is twenty taels of silver, a spear is five taels of silver, a shield is ten taels of silver, a bow is thirty taels, and a bundle of arrows is one tael, if His Highness can accept it, it will be according to what His Highness said." ”

Don't forget it, Zhu Di said coldly: "It seems that this king still surrounds the smelting division, look at how hard the bones of your smelting division are!" ”

Liu Yufeng was also angry, and roared indignantly, "If Your Highness thinks it's too expensive, you can forge your own ordnance, why do you want to find our smelting division." ”

"The military double-groove ring hand arc knife is lightweight, sharp, and tough, and it takes more than a dozen processes to complete, and it is not a problem to stab the armor with a front."

"The strong bow of the military is basically two stones and three stones, all of which are Kaiyuan bows and horn bows.

The horn bow is made of tendons, horns, and wood, plus birch bark, lacquer, and other moisture-proof and anti-freeze materials, and the bowstring is made of silk thread, cotton thread, and deer tendons.

The Kaiyuan bow is suitable for cavalry combat, and there are hooks at both ends of the bow tip, which can hook arrows on the ground. ”

"The smelting division is making ordnance for the purpose of making a profit, this is the cost price, even if Your Highness makes the water around our smelting division, it is also this price, and there is no possibility of concession."

A knife is 10,000 Wen, a pair of armor is 10,000 Wen, a spear is 5,000 Wen, a bow is 300,000 Wen, and a beam of arrows is 1,000 Wen.

20,000 pieces of armor, 400,000 taels, 20,000 swords, 200,000 taels, 10,000 shields, 10,000 taels, 10,000 spears, 50,000 taels, 20,000 bows, 600,000 taels, 100,000 arrows, 100,000 taels.

Zhu Di thought that it was expensive to make weapons.

But I didn't expect it to be so expensive to make cold weapons!

So.

What should you do when you go into a restaurant and look at the menu and find that you can't afford to eat, but you really want to eat?

"The king of this book believes your words today, and if this king finds out that your smelting division is corrupt and perverse the law, this king will copy your smelting division."

"A month later, the king will come to fetch weapons."

"These drinks should be given to the smelting division by the king, let's go!"

Let's talk about it.

Zhu Di urged the horse to turn around indifferently and walked away.

Several soldiers pulled horse-drawn carts and pulled rice and white flour and wine into the smelting division.

Seeing the domineering Zhu Di leaving, Liu Yufeng let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "Let half of the foundry masters of the Smelting Division stop and build weapons for the Blue City King!" ”

Several entourages said angrily: "My lord, this Blue City King is inevitably too bullying, does he really dare to surround our smelting division?" ”

"Naturally I don't dare, we are directly under the Ordnance Bureau, even if we give the Blue City King a hundred dares, he won't dare!" The principal shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The attendant was immediately puzzled: "Then why did you agree?" ”

The director smiled bitterly: "You are still too young, sometimes, a threat is just an attitude, and the meaning of the warning is more than the content of the threat. ”

"It's like, when you are humiliated, you naturally fight back, this is a quarrel, scolding can only go back with a disgraced face, but if the other party follows you all the way to insult, standing at your door, and continues to humiliate you in the hall, what will you do?"

The entourage replied inexplicably: "Naturally, it is a repeated warning, if the other party does not listen, they will fight each other." ”

The chief lamented: "Yes, yes, you have a sword in your hand, and you have the power behind you, if you warn the other party again and again, it will be a riot and kill, no longer a warning!" ”

"If we don't have an answer today, then we will not surround the smelting division, but the 3,400 people of the smelting division will all be imprisoned."

"Where is there any reason to say, people are the princes of Shifenglan County, we are courtiers of the imperial court, we have made the same mistake, we are facing death, and people are just punishment!"

"What's more!"

What's more, the tone of the court has been changing, Liu Ji, who opposed the separation, was resigned and returned to Qingtian by His Majesty, and the Zhedong Group jointly protested, and a string in the court has been tightly jumped, and if you are not careful, it will be a more terrifying case than the empty seal case.

This matter must be compromised, and His Majesty is a person with a unique strategic vision and an extremely stubborn work.

Greet King Xiao Ming that year.

is the same as the Huaixi group, and the same is the first to follow His Majesty's southern expedition and northern war and made countless meritorious contributions, directly to the Duke of Wei Xu Da Feng Gong, not to Tang He Feng Gong.

There is almost no suspense left in the prince's battle.

Ineffable.

In the future, when a will comes down, the smelting division will be under the command of the Blue City King, especially since the Blue City King already has the right to cast!

He has to do what he should do, he has to participate in the king of the Blue City, but he has to compromise when he should compromise.

Liu Yufeng shook his head, these things are naturally not for outsiders!

Zhu Di also shook his head!

Nobody knows.

The Blue City Royal Mansion is already running a deficit.

Except for the golden coffin, there was no more than a thousand taels of silver left, and no more than a thousand stones of rice left.

Sounds like a lot!

One tael of silver is three hundred to four hundred catties of rice, and one stone of rice is one hundred and fifty catties.

But for the palace, which spends money like water every day, this is not enough to see at all!

The county government only provides for 100,000 people to prevent them from starving to death every day, and the palace is subsidizing porridge every day.

Surviving the winter is a victory.

But it has only been a few days, and now there are 17,000 government soldiers, who cannot sprinkle salt into the gruel, so salty that they need to drink four or five times a day to quench their thirst.

It is not possible to make a deposit to the smelter.

Overwhelm the other party with momentum, and get the things in hand first.

He wants soldiers, he wants ordnance, he wants money, he wants food!

"Brother filial piety, the banner of the Blue City Mansion must be set up in Lanzhou, and it must be set up in the hearts of every Lanxian people.

"Shi Nong Industry and Commerce Three Religions and Nine Streams, this king feels that this order should be more for farmers, workers and businessmen, if the filial piety brother can't accept it, there is no need to stay in Saibei to suffer this cold, this king and the letter to the prince, it will not affect the smooth road of the filial piety brother in the court!"

Zhu Di treated Fang Xiaoru extremely harshly for the first time, and did not give this one any affection.

Since Wang Mang's failure to usurp power, Confucianism has lost its enterprising heart to carry on the sacred past and open peace for all generations.

Then the rise of Song Confucianism with "it is better to rule the world than to be at peace with the world, and it is better to be at peace with the world", and in the face of the rise of industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty, the population exploded, and the Confucian scholars who dominated the world had no way to solve social problems, and tried to guide this contradiction with their hearts.

Raise filial piety and honesty to learn from the virtuous, and use it to govern the world.

The evolution from Song Confucianism to Yuan Dynasty Confucianism, with Confucianism to govern the world.

However, seeing that Hulu was raging in the Central Plains, and the famous families still worshiped Emperor Yuan Shun in ranking, it can be seen that the decay of Confucianism has become terminally ill.

The Confucian scholars, who are stubborn, read dead books, admit death, are unrealistic, and can only talk emptyly, still want to restrain the emperor's character and rights, and promote filial piety and honesty to calm the people of the world, and the suffering of the people has nothing to do with the stability of the world.

It's a fallacy.

Liu Ji is such a person.

Lee Sun-chang is such a person.

Song Lian is such a person.

Lu Chang is also such a person.

Ninety-nine percent of the officials in the entire Ming Dynasty are such people.

Fang Xiaoru studied under Song Lian, who was a great Confucian at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and can be said to be a master of Confucianism.

The difference from other rotten Confucians is that they have more correct morals, are more courageous and courageous in fear of life and death, and are much more prominent in ability, but there is no change in thinking.

Zhu Di is tyrannical.

Faced with the problems faced by the Blue City Palace, Fang Xiaoru proposed a solution that could be solved to a large extent.

Gather the wealth of the people to invest the people!

To put it simply, he has distributed 100,000 taels of silver to the people, and now that the finances of the Blue City Royal Mansion are exhausted, he will requisition these silver taels to buy food, and one method will basically solve the problem of money and grain.

There is no problem in surviving the winter like this.

However, from the perspective of a bystander, it is the scholars who put the society first and despise the people, and then lose their trust in the people.

That's the problem.

Can't get used to it.

If you can't stop it in time for the first time, it will be even more difficult to wait until Lao Zhu's level and want to change it again.

The most difficult thing in the world is to build trust, especially in the hearts of the rulers.

It is better to do it a thousand times than to collapse once.

He didn't believe in Fang Xiaoru's intelligence, and he couldn't see what he was doing all the way from Yingtian to Lanxian.

Indeed, there is a trick to play with the people's hearts, but he maintains a purpose to establish his credit as the king of the Blue City, Zhu Di, and the credit of the King of the Blue City.

And on this basis, it is fundamental to expand one by one.

Now that he encountered the first problem, Fang Xiaoru proposed such a solution, how not to make people angry.

"Brother filial piety thinks about it himself, if he is like-minded, he will stay, and if he has a contrary concept, he will leave, and there is no room for sand in the eyes of this king."

Zhu Di shook his hand and left the temporary palace mansion!
