Zhu Yuanzhang touched his chin thoughtfully.

Chu Ze immediately answered: "Your Majesty, there is a saying that 'if you want to get rich, build a road first', with a road, materials and energy will continue to flow in and out." And don't we want to get some tourist attractions? Everyone is out to play, so naturally they want to be easy and convenient. After staggering in a carriage for several days, people are about to fall apart, where is the mood to play? But it's different by train, it's very stable and fast, and when tourists arrive, they can still play to their heart's content.

This is one of them.

Let's talk about the second one.

Let's take it as an example, let's use a carriage to transport ten stones at a time. If we have a hundred stone of grain, it will take ten wagons or ten times to deliver it by horse-drawn carts. But if you use a train like this, it is not enough to transport a hundred stones at a time, as long as the power is enough, we can even transport a thousand stones. When the transportation capacity is stronger, the speed of the circulation of goods in various places will also be strengthened. How could the local economy not change? If there is really no change, then the local officials should change.

The third is that we can make the train a sightseeing car. Let's divide the layout of the train into first class, second class and ordinary area. The first-class charging services are higher, the relative fees are also high, and the second-class is secondary, and the ordinary carry ordinary people, so isn't it another income? ”

After speaking, Chu Ze glanced at Lord Hubu and said, "Lord Shangshu, even if you are doing business, you know that you have to invest your capital first." If you don't invest anything, you don't expect money to grow in the field? ”

"Poof."

There were a few laughs in the courtroom.

Tobe Shangshu was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick.

He didn't care about maintaining his dignity anymore, he turned his head and glared at Chu Ze fiercely.

"The prince said it well, then you have to have this capital to do business, right? We don't even have the capital now, so let's ask the prince what to do with this business. As if he was afraid that Chu Ze would not believe it, Hubu Shangshu also took out an account book, opened it and counted the expenses during this time, as well as the balance in the treasury recently.

In the end, Tobe Shangsheng almost burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't do their best, it's just that we are really powerless."

He, the head of the household, is making careful calculations every day for the money, and he can't wait to break one person's money into two petals.

After hearing this, Chu Ze was also surprised.

As Tobe-sama said, the silver in the treasury has indeed bottomed out.

But what about the silver?

Chu Zehu looked at Lord Tobe suspiciously, and said quietly: "Let's remember that there are gold mines in Ryukyu, and every month is transporting gold to the mainland, right?" ”

It's okay if Chu Ze doesn't say this.

As soon as he mentioned it, Tobe-sama became angry again.

Lord Hubu suddenly turned his head, blushing and staring at Chu Ze with a thick neck, eager to scold a few words directly.

Chu Ze saw him sneer, and then said: "I'm afraid that the prince doesn't know how much money he burned for those things he gave." ”

Whether it's a factory, or a mineral.

Or those inventions made.

All of them need silver.

Every day, Tobe-sama is saddened to see the money being spent.

Chu Ze: "Running out?" ”

"Then do you want us to reconcile with the prince!" Tobe-sama was angry, and his voice was a little sharper.

Chu Ze waved his hand again and again, and said with a dry smile: "No, no, no." ”

He knew that the stuff he was getting burned money.

But he knew there was such a burn.

Well...... Looks like we'll have to figure out a way to do this.

In the end, the matter was put on hold.

The reason is in the Tobe Shangshu.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that in this case, he was so unshelved the train plan, he was afraid that Hubu Shangshu would be able to make a five-step drama of hitting the pillar on the spot.

And Tobe-sama is right.

The money is gone, how can this train be developed?

It's better to put it away first, and talk about it when you have money.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but glance at the drawings, retracted his gaze, and after a while, he couldn't help but look at it again.

Not to mention, this train plan makes him very excited when he hears it.

This is the end of the dynasty.

In the end, nothing was discussed.

But when he was scattering the dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped Chu Ze: "You wait first, we have something to tell you." ”

Chu Ze had already raised his footsteps, and silently retracted it.

The minister walked away, and in the huge hall, only Zhu Yuanzhang's father and son Chu Ze were left.

Without outsiders, Zhu Yuanzhang is too lazy to put up a shelf.

He walked down the dragon chair jade steps, walked in front of Chu Ze, and asked, "Is this train really as good as you say?" ”

"Of course, if it's not good, do we dare to take it out?" Chu Ze said.

"What about the silver?" Zhu Biao got up and walked over, his voice was very gentle, "What do you think?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at him.

Chu Ze was silent for a while.

Silver, silver......

What to do?

Chu Ze couldn't think of a way for a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't force it when he saw this.

He said: "In this way, you go back and think about it first, come up with some practical methods, as soon as the problem of silver is solved, we will start building trains immediately." ”

"It would be nice if you could make another model of the train during this time."

With the appearance of a train, Zhu Yuanzhang can better convince the courtiers.

He could see it clearly.

Not having money is just one thing.

The main thing is that there is still a distrust of the train.

They didn't believe the train would be so good.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe it very much.

If it weren't for Chu Ze's origin to add some buffs to him, Zhu Yuanzhang's first reaction when he saw such a strange thing was also suspicion.

But if he made the model and let everyone see it for themselves, everyone would definitely not be so repulsed.

Chu Ze listened and said "um".

Leaving the Jinluan Palace, Chu Ze frowned.

Money has been a difficult thing since ancient times.

From the princes and nobles to the common people, there is money in their eyes.

Chu Ze is also one of them.

On the way home, there were only two words in his mind - make money.

But how?

Before he could come up with a reason, Zhao Si's voice came from outside the carriage: "Master, I've arrived at the house." ”

Chu Ze jumped out of the carriage and walked straight inside.

After walking for a while, the butler greeted him.

"Master, you can count it back, Lord Liu came early in the morning, and he is still waiting for you in the hall."

Hearing this, Chu Ze paused.

"Ah, yes, we said before the court, let him come to us after the dynasty disperses. By the way, you go to our room and get something, it's a small box with a red and black pattern on the table, go quickly. Chu Ze said a few words, and turned around and went to the main hall.

When he arrived, Liu Bowen was sitting in the hall drinking tea.

Posture is relaxed.

Hearing footsteps, he raised his head, saw the person coming, and said with a smile: "The prince is back?" How, what you want? ”

Chu Ze: "...... Don't you know all about it, and still ask? (End of chapter)
