Liu Bowen smiled lightly and was silent.

Chu Ze walked over and sat down beside Liu Bowen.

As soon as he sat down, Chu Ze began to complain.

"Lord Liu, you don't know, the emperor can be regarded as a big problem for us."

Liu Bowen asked: "What kind of problem, if the prince is relieved, it is better to say it and see if we can help the prince share his worries." ”

Chu Ze didn't know if Liu Bowen was simply polite.

But his words immediately inspired Chu Ze.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen was stunned by him.

"What's wrong?"

Is there anything wrong with what he says?

Liu Bowen thought back to what he had just said.

No problem.

At least Liu Bowen didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

saw Chu Ze's eyes light up as soon as he "rubbed" the ground.

"Then you're welcome."

He got up, ran to Liu Bowen with a chair and sat down, and told Liu Bowen again about the problem that Zhu Yuanzhang gave him: "You also know that we proposed in the court that we wanted to build a train and build a railway, but we were refuted by the Hubu Shangshu. The emperor told us that if we want to plan to go in smoothly, we must have money. ”

When Chu Ze said this, Liu Bowen had actually guessed a little.

It's nothing more than letting Chu Ze make money.

But how does Chu Ze make money?

Such a big project, even if Chu Ze himself was sold, it was not enough, right?

Chu Ze continued: "The emperor asked us to think of ideas to fill the empty treasury. As long as the treasury has money, it is not a problem to build railways and trains. ”

Liu Bowen let out an "oh" and realized that he was wrong.

He also thought that he was asking Chu Ze to take the money out.

It turned out to be Chu Ze trying to find a way to get money.

The emperor is really unusual to Chu Ze.

It's all like this, and I didn't even think about letting Chu Ze, a big corrupt official, take out the money.

Liu Bowen doesn't like corrupt officials.

Chu Ze is an exception.

Other corrupt officials are corrupt and bad.

Chu Ze is greedy, but not bad.

He also runs around for the country and the people every day.

This also makes his tolerance for Chu Ze much higher than that of other corrupt officials.

is also the reason why he is willing to correspond with Chu Ze.

How did Chu Ze know, just like that, Liu Bowen thought so much.

He only knew that he had told the problem, but Liu Bowen only said oh, and there was no follow-up......

Where can this work?

"Lord Liu, you have always been known as the smartest person in the Ming Dynasty, let's think of a way to make a move about this matter." Chu Ze asked.

Liu Bowen came back to his senses in contemplation.

He glanced at Chu Ze, thought for a while, and said, "Hmm...... It's not for nothing. ”

"Let's talk about it."

Chu Ze showed an inquiring expression.

Liu Bowen said: "Actually, in this matter, as long as the prince sells a few things that are made, you can do it." For example, iron ships, such as bicycles, as well as amusement parks, attractions, etc., over time, these will start to be profitable, and the treasury will not be a problem. In addition to this, there are inventions, which cost a lot of money. We can't afford to pay this money, we can let someone else pay it. ”

At this point, the thin film in Chu Ze's mind was poked open at once.

Inspiration poured out like a fountain.

He interrupted Liu Bowen's words, clapped his hands and said excitedly: "That's right, that's right, Lord Liu is right, we can sponsor it." ”

If there is no money for R&D, then raise it from the private sector.

Many inventions add up, and that naturally costs a lot.

But if it's the same and the same, it's much less.

There are also rich people in the people.

He beat these people and asked them to take out the money and supply it for scientific research.

Money is not given for nothing.

As long as it is successful, the name of the person who contributed the money will be written in the R&D sponsorship column.

Let the other person also experience the feeling of returning from glory.

In this way, the money for R&D does not have to come out of the treasury, R&D will not be affected, and the people who pay for it will have a reputation.

It's a triple win.

In this way, a lot of money in the treasury can be saved.

"But it's not enough." Chu Zegang was happy for a while, and his brows twisted again, "Whether it is building trains or laying railways, a lot of investment will be required in the early stage, and these funds are not enough to support at all." "Even if the treasury has just been filled, it will be empty again after a few moves.

Liu Bowen also thought of it.

He said, "Haven't we done all our business overseas?" Why don't you just do it bigger and do business in the name of the country? We have a lot of things, some of them are specialty, so we take these things out and sell them, isn't it a big source? ”

When Chu Ze heard this, he immediately burst out laughing.

laughed so much that Liu Bowen was confused.

"Why, doesn't this work?" Liu Bowen asked.

Chu Ze smiled and waved his hand: "It's not that it can't be, we just think you're too conservative." ”

If you want to do business, you have to do it big.

What's the point of selling some souvenirs?

Chu Ze had already thought of what to sell.

But he didn't tell Liu Bowen, but smiled mysteriously: "The Buddha said, don't say it." ”

Liu Bowen: "......" When you asked us what we thought just now, it wasn't like that.

But Chu Ze didn't say it, and Liu Bowen didn't force it.

He took the initiative to change the subject.

"The prince said that we should come to the house after the next court, is there something wrong?"

Chu Ze was about to speak, when he swept the housekeeper back in the afterglow.

He motioned for Liu Bowen to wait.

"Come in." He said to the butler.

The housekeeper immediately walked to Chu Ze's side.

"Master, the thing has been found, do you think it's this?" The housekeeper handed a small box to Chu Ze.

It was the small box with a red and black pattern of flowers that Chu Ze asked him to find.

Chu Ze took it and opened it to take a look.

"Yes, that's it, you go down." Sending the housekeeper away, Chu Ze handed over the box to Liu Bowen, he didn't even cover the lid, and handed it over directly, "Look, what is this." ”

Liu Bowen's heart was full of questions.

Why did Chu Ze think about bringing him something?

His relationship with Chu Ze doesn't seem to be close to this yet, right?

Either way, he decided to see what it was first.

Liu Bowen took the box.

The box was not the gold and silver jewelry that Liu Bowen thought, but a layer of thin and round seeds.

The seeds are dark brown with a few spots on them.

"What is this?"

Liu Bowen picked up one, but he didn't see what it was.

Chu Ze sat back in his chair proudly, smiling with a smile: "What does Lord Liu want to get the most recently?" ”

What do you want most?

Liu Bowen thought about it and immediately thought: "Mandala!" ”

"Clever!" Chu Ze almost clapped Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen looked at the seeds in his hand, his face was full of surprise, and he felt very incredible in his heart.

Last time, he said that he wanted mandala seeds, but he didn't expect Chu Ze to find them for him so soon.

The corners of Liu Bowen's mouth couldn't help but rise.

After a moment, he asked, "Lord Wang, where did you find this thing?" "He's been looking for a long time, and he's been looking for everything he can, but he hasn't found it. (End of chapter)
