In the blink of an eye, February time is fleeting.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang slaughtered Li Jin ruthlessly last time, he took this money and began to subsidize all parts of the Ming Dynasty.

The first to bear the brunt is Yangzhou, although Yang Xian has done a good job in Yangzhou, but he has been relatively poor for so many years, no matter how hard Yang Xian is, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

In Yangzhou, there are no cattle to reclaim the wasteland, only manpower, pulling the plough and rake, and working the wasteland.

Yang Xian also took the lead in dying, but the manpower was finally exhausted, and he worked hard for half a year, and the land reclaimed was less than one-tenth of the original.

And this is only in the spring and summer.

When the winter comes, after the land is frozen, it is even more difficult to cultivate, and I am afraid that it will only be half the effort.

Yang Xian had no choice but to ask Liu Bowen for help, after all, the only one who could help him now was his teacher.

Liu Bowen didn't say a word, but gave advice to Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that the current situation in Yangzhou was in urgent need of a batch of ploughing cattle and farm tools.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in the middle of his wealth at the moment, so he directly waved his hand and gave 100,000 taels of silver to Yang Xian, letting him spend it as he pleased.

After Yang Xian got the silver, he was grateful to Dade and felt that this was the emperor's attention to him, which was why he supported him so strongly.

Immediately, Yang Xian decided to buy cattle and farm tools from all over the country, and also carried out manpower reclamation in winter.

This decision frightened the people of Yangzhou who had just returned from other places.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that winter is not suitable for cultivating wasteland at all.

Because in winter, the land is frozen into a hard state, and at that time, let alone using people to plough the land, even the cattle can't pull it.

Yang Xian doesn't care, cattle are more precious than people.

If it is pulled by an ox, it is likely to cause the cow to freeze to death or be exhausted, which is not worth the loss.

People are fine, people are not as delicate as ploughing cattle, and they can withstand the cold winter if they wear a little thicker.

So under the personal leadership of Yang Xian, Yangzhou's vigorous winter wilderness began.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't expect Yang Xian to be really a talent, just do what he said, and take the lead in rushing and doing it.

After solving the matter in Yangzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang began to carry out disaster relief or repair water conservancy in various places.

Zhu Yuanzhang rarely became rich, and squandered the easily obtained silver.

When Zhu Yuanzhang found out that his money was less than 5,000 taels, he found that 1 million silver had been squandered by himself like this.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was strapped for cash, wanted to get some money from Queen Ma, after all, he still had a lot of things to do.

However, I was told that all Queen Ma's money was invested in Shanghu County to open a factory.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly asked how much money was invested, and Queen Ma stretched out five fingers and said lightly:

"Five million taels."

Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly stupefied, when did his sister-in-law have so much money, why didn't he know at all?

"Girl, where did you get so much silver?"

Queen Ma said with a smile on her face:

"Thanks to Li Jin, he asked me to sell the mirrors all over the country, and he also took the form of an auction house, and he really made a lot of money."

"For these two months, plus the silver in the original inner money, add a total of five million taels of silver."

"Following Li Jin's advice, I went directly to the shipyard, and I must be able to make a fortune soon."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was numb, and he finally got one million from Li Jin, but this dog thing was deceived by one million from his daughter-in-law in a blink of an eye.

"Girl, are you stupid?"

"How can his broken shipyard be worth five million? Even the tattered one is not worth even five hundred taels. ”

Queen Ma was full of doubts and said in confusion:

"Small? I don't look small!! ”

"I'm afraid that place must be the size of the entire palace, isn't this small?"

"I heard that I didn't know which ghost lacked virtue before, and sold a bunch of broken wooden planks for a million sky-high prices, and told people that they couldn't buy it."

Zhu Yuanzhang touched his nose embarrassedly, laughed dryly, and said:

"Selling a broken wooden board for a million is indeed a bit unauthentic."

Queen Ma glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said:

"Do you know if it's authentic? And what are you doing? ”

Obviously, Queen Ma knew about the ugly things Zhu Yuanzhang had done.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a hurry at the moment, and said:

"Sister, even if it's not authentic, it's one hand to pay, one hand to deliver, one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer."

"But your five million taels of silver are really too much of a loss."

"Let's go and get the money back for you now, Li Jin's dog thing dares to deceive our sister, we have to skin him."

Queen Ma hurriedly grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang and said:

"Heavy eight, don't make trouble."

"The five million taels of silver are my own investment."

"You haven't been there, you don't understand it."

"When I have time, I'll take you to take a look, and you'll know that this deal will definitely make a lot of money."

"Although we only account for fifty percent of the shares, it will be our cornucopia from now on, you can see it."

Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't believe that there is a cornucopia in this world, he only believes in real money.

However, seeing Queen Ma's elated appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't interrupt her silently, anyway, the silver was in Li Jin's hands.

When he went to Shanghu County, after seeing the shipyard and being dissatisfied, he didn't believe that Li Jin dared to repay the debts and not pay back Queen Ma's silver.

If Li Jin dares to do this, then don't blame Zhu Yuanzhang for flipping the table.

As the boss of the empire, Zhu Yuanzhang is naturally responsible for formulating the rules.

Follow the rules? It depends on whether you can benefit yourself.

....

The next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang was seriously handling political affairs, and after everyone finished reporting, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to announce his retirement from the dynasty.

But at this time, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Engineering stood up and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Your Majesty, the ministers have something to play."

"Today, the craftsmen of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry of Tianfu are rapidly decreasing, and these people have been taken away by the county order of Shanghu County, saying that they are going to do something big."

"It is said that the emperor also knows about this matter, and now these craftsmen have been loaned out for two days, and they still haven't returned."

"The minister wants to confirm with the emperor, is this what the emperor meant?"

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched wildly, and Li Jin, the bastard, was doing nonsense in his own name.

I wanted to say that I didn't know, but thinking of the five million taels of silver invested by Queen Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang could only grit his teeth and admit:

"I already know about this, so you don't have to worry."
