France has two peninsular regions, Normandy and Brittany.

Xingwang Zhu Youqi got Normandy.

The rejuvenation of Wujida was split into two and given to Chu and Chen.

Zhu Youqi appeared in Normandy with 30,000 troops.

There are two reasons why he made up his mind, one is that his son is too good, and the other is that the staff around him keeps talking.

His right-hand men were two eunuchs, Columbus and Magellan.

Two extremely ambitious guys are not at ease after becoming eunuchs.

After gaining the favor of their masters, they began to use their masters as tools, borrowing the power of their masters to pave the way for their ambitions.

Let Zhu Youqi give up the rejuvenation of the country after more than 20 years of operation, this determination is very difficult to make.

is still young Zhu Houxi, which made Zhu Youqi make a final decision.

As for whether Zhu Houxi was smart, or whether Columbus fooled the six-year-old child into a lame, Zhu Youqi didn't expect this anyway.

I have to say that Columbus's vision is very poisonous, Normandy, close to England, not far from Paris, and can still rely on Chen Guo, as long as the Brittany Peninsula is snatched, the Xingguo will be established.

Zhu Youqi also sent a letter to the emperor's grandfather, hoping to get help from Daming.

He is very confident in the old man, and he has always liked aspiring children and grandchildren.

But the conundrum at hand was how to get the French out of the army.

If there is a war, Xingguo will definitely not be able to defeat France.

But France is greedy, he annexed many principalities to get to where France is today, and the kings of these principalities are still alive.

In the past two years, the state of Chu has instigated an internal rebellion in France, and it has achieved initial results.

This is also the reason why the new emperor of France absolutely did not agree to the establishment of the country here.

Akito doesn't have a good thing.

That set of imperial thinking, which can kill the new emperor of France, and the set of-stirring stick diplomatic concepts of the vertical and horizontal, the countries of Europa are fed up.

Zhu Youqi wanted to negotiate with France, but France was stunned and did not talk about it.

He was also bad, and actually instigated rebellions in Belgium, Luxembourg, and Switzerland.

The most fucked up is Switzerland.

After the division of the Holy Roman Empire, Switzerland became independent for a short time, then it was swallowed up by France, annexed to France, and then forced to spit out by Spain, and Switzerland became independent for a second time.

In the Spanish War, Switzerland was conquered by the Chu State, and after the war, the Chu State was forced to spit out Switzerland, and Switzerland became independent for the third time.

During the Portuguese War, Switzerland was completely annexed by France, and it remains until now.

Belgium was also, and should have been, independent, and this place was supposed to serve as a buffer state for France, the Netherlands, Great Britain, and Germany.

At the time of Louis XI, France was greedy and swallowed the country.

After a brief period of independence in between, it was annexed again.

Luxembourg really doesn't have much to offer.

His presence may have been an accident.

But France couldn't stand Chu Chenxing's three kingdoms from plotting against each other, and Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and many principalities were all seeking independence.

At the end of the sixty-second year of Jingtai, the plague in Europe was alleviated.

Britain is completely dead.

In the winter, a great famine broke out, and Britain sought help from Germany, but Germany was in a civil war and could not control Britain.

This made Britain completely fall to the Chen-Chu alliance.

And the Netherlands.

Originally, the Netherlands was cleaned up the worst, and after two years of plague, other countries had the conditions for treatment, and it was a problem for the Netherlands to eat.

In two winters, hundreds of thousands of people starved to death.

The Netherlands is crumbling and has its last breath left to perish.

can only cry and beg to be the lackeys of Chen and Chu.

On the issue of rejuvenating the country, he resolutely stood on Chen Chu's side.

With the defection of the Netherlands and England, France's situation became more and more difficult, and at the beginning of the 63rd year of Jingtai, it had to sign a peace treaty, and the Normandy region belonged to the rejuvenating country, and France completely lost the sovereignty of this land.

and allowed the independence of Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg.

The reason why France bows its head.

Because at the end of the year, the Ming Dynasty bombarded the Ottomans, the Ottomans lost hundreds of cities, killed as many as 500,000 troops, and slaughtered more than 5 million Ottomans!

In the Second Ottoman War, the Ming Dynasty won an overwhelming victory.

At the same time, the state of Chu took advantage of the situation and annexed Croatia.

Cai occupied Hungary proper, while the Czech Republic and Slovakia formed an alliance to hold Cai's northward advance and block the communication arteries between Cai and Shang.

At the same time, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria and other countries declared their independence and allied themselves with Czechoslovakia, and there was a great tendency to merge into one country.

The Min-Austrian War, which lasted for six years, was won and lost, and the Ming and Ottomans were evenly matched.

But you must know that the Ming Dynasty came from thousands of miles, with a total investment of 1.47 million troops, 240,000 killed, and it took three and a half years to win the Second Ming and Austrian War.

Thousands of miles away, with such a terrifying force, the logistical pressure can be imagined, which is enough to explain the terrifying background of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is a country capable of turning the world upside down, and it deserves to be a superpower.

This war has made the European Union even worse.

So, France had to back down.

With the help of the Ming Mediterranean Fleet, Zhu Youqi established a new state in Normandy as he wished, and built the capital Daxingcheng.

In the Great Sui.

In the Second Ming-Austrian War, the Great Sui tried his best, and after the victory of the war, he got the territory of the three small vassal states in the Turkish region, which could be given to his three sons.

Wei Guo also received the territory of two feudal states.

The merchant states were granted permanent navigation rights to Cyprus and Istanbul.

The Great Shang did not lack territory at all, and the Cossack Khanate had not yet been completely annexed, so he wanted an island in the Mediterranean, as long as he could sail together smoothly.

Zhu Jianxi saw the post-war situation.

It will take at least twenty years to completely eliminate the Ottomans, and the old emperor will definitely not be able to wait, after the crown prince ascends the throne, he will definitely not have the courage, and the heavy task of completely eliminating the Ottomans can only be handed over to the vassal state.

In fact, the old emperor had already laid out the plan, so that Shang, Sui, Wei and Ottoman had a mortal enemy.

Then divide the prince's two sons into feudal seals.

It is to let the prince continue to implement the policy of extermination.

The Ottomans are immortal, this country that occupies important places and can threaten the contact between the Ming Dynasty and the vassal state at any time, the old emperor is not at ease at all.

After the victory of the Second Ming-Austrian War, the pattern of Eastern Europe was formalized, with the big Shang family dominating, and the Sui and Wei countries coming last.

Although the big merchants are strong, they have huge drawbacks and have no good harbor.

Sui Wei is not bad, but his military and political strength is not as good as that of Dashang.

The state of Cai had just been established, and its foundation was unstable.

The three kingdoms of Zhao, Qi and Lu gradually grew.

This has created an Eastern European pattern of checks and balances.

In the past, when there was a natural enemy of the Ottomans, the countries would not pay attention to the Great Commerce, but now, the Great Merchants with a huge territory are a thorn in the side of the nations.

It is estimated that the big merchants have also seen this, and Zhu Jianyu is trying his best to integrate the Cossack Khanate and officially ascend to the throne of the first power in Eastern Europe.

Zhu Jianxi has contacted Wei and Cai, and they share the same hatred.

He still has some concerns about the Three Kingdoms of Zhao Qilu, after all, they are father and son, and the Ming Dynasty rules the world with law and filial piety, which is unchanged.

Good news comes to the center.

The old emperor named Zhu Youyu as the king of Han and Zhu Youjin as the king of Liao, and divided Turkey into two with Santalia as the division, with the small territory in the west going to Korea, and the large territory in the east going to the king of Liao.

Because King Han controls Istanbul and controls the main route from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, he has little territory.

However, South Korea can expand northward.

However, the Liao State bordered the Sui State and several small Ming feudal states, and there was no place to expand.

As a result, Turkey was divided between the Sui, Han, and Liao families.

The Greek islands were divided among the vassal states that contributed the most this time.

There is less and less land in the world that can be divided.

The crown prince has eight sons, only two can be divided, Zhu Youyu also has six sons, as far as Zhu Qiyu's grandchildren are concerned, there are hundreds of people, and there are only a few who have a feudal country?

Zhu Jianqi went to the Palace of Raising Hearts for the five little ones of his family to beg the old emperor, divide Greece into five small feudal states, and divide them among them.

Zhu Qiyu was not reluctant, but felt that the five small members of the prince's family were all spoiled, and they had to be annexed if they went to Europe, and it was difficult to say whether they could save their lives in the end.

Greece, if used well, can curb the ambitions of the Chu State.

He wanted to give it to a capable grandson.

He asked Wang Shouren, who accompanied the holy driver, "What do you think of the world situation?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, the European Union is no longer a problem."

"In the past, the foreign wars of the feudal kingdoms were wars of living space."

"With the world unrivaled, it will evolve into a war of hegemony."

"The dragon son and holy grandson must have a hegemonic heart."

"Weichen said a disrespectful word, after a hundred years of you, a world war will break out in the vassal country." Wang Shouren spoke very straight.

This man is very good at being an official.

The emperor spoiled him, otherwise he would have been driven home to farm.

"World war?" Zhu Qiyu became interested.

"Weichen believes that the Ming will also be involved in the war."

Wang Shouren has a low EQ, but a high IQ.

"The reason why it is called a world war is because all countries will participate, and it is the largest and most extensive war in Chinese history."

"This is the same as the Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period."

"The meaning of war is to dominate."

"Now that the Ming Dynasty dominates the world, many vassal kings have no idea for the time being, that is because their vassal states are weak, and when the vassal states accumulate strength, they will provoke wars."

"Wechen always believed that a world war could not satisfy the ambitions of the vassal king."

"In a cycle of thirty years, there will be a world war."

What a sharp eye.

Zhu Qiyu bowed slightly: "Then do you have a way to let Daming win the world war again and again?" ”

Wang Shouren shook his head: "The world war is a battle of luck, and Weichen does not have the ability to guarantee the victory of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"No matter how prosperous a country is, there will be a day when it will decline."

"Even, the more prosperous it is, the more problems it has, and the more difficult it is to return, but it is like a bubble, bursting at the touch of a button."

Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes: "Are you persuading me?" Or is the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty fake? ”

Wang Shouren knelt on the ground: "Weichen is just advising the king to be prepared for danger in times of peace." ”

"Daming is ahead of the world in all aspects, which is Daming's advantage."

"And Your Majesty spares no effort to feed the vassal kingdoms, which is tantamount to Mr. Dongguo, fighting Mien to promote rice hatred, and many vassal states are prosperous, and they will immediately tear their faces with Daming."

"Yes, Weichen advises His Majesty to stop supporting the vassal state, monopolize the technology of the vassal state, and maintain the advanced nature of the Ming Dynasty."

That is to say, if you want to delay the outbreak of war, you will fight the nations back to their original shape.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "It's better to be blocked, if you beat them back to their original shape today, can you guarantee that they won't develop tomorrow?" ”

"If there is a problem, it is best to solve it in time, the more it is delayed, the more it means that there is no bottom in the heart, but it loses the courage to go all out, and it will be easier to lose."

"Besides, if there were no threats from other countries, would the Ming Dynasty still develop? After Yongle, do you continue to move forward? ”

Zhu Qiyu asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty has good intentions, but it deviates from the laws of the world."

Wang Shouren said: "You created a strong enemy for the Ming Dynasty, but you don't know that this strong enemy will bring disaster to the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Can you bear to watch your people fight against each other, millions of people die, and the world is in ruins?"

"Your Majesty, you are the father of the people of the world."

The emperor looked at the problem from the perspective of development, and Wang Shouren looked at the problem from the perspective of human nature.

He didn't want war, because war kills.

This kind of world war has not happened in ancient China, and millions or even tens of millions of people do not die every time.

"Maybe there won't be a world war." Zhu Qiyu said.

Wang Shouren said very bluntly: "When Your Majesty is here, the vassal king will not dare to rebel." ”

In other words, after the crown prince ascends the throne, the vassal king will rebel.

Because the crown prince can't suppress the vassal king.

"You let the prince know how to be an official in the future."

Zhu Qiyu asked him to get up: "According to what you said, the world war is a reincarnation for thirty years, and the first two world wars, with the foundation I have accumulated, should not be defeated." ”

"Just get through it twice."

He can change history into a mess, the countries of Europa are not capable of entering the industrial revolution, and now only the Ming is capable of carrying out the industrial revolution.

Once the Ming Dynasty was unable to industrialize for other reasons, the world entered the fourth reincarnation.

The history of China is a complete reincarnation of three times.

It was only during the first reincarnation that Europe unexpectedly embarked on a different path and industrialized.

This is a historical accident, not an inevitable consequence of development.

The inertia of Chinese history is huge, and once there is no emperor as a backing, it is very likely to return to historical inertia, so that the industrial revolution will disappear and enter the fourth great reincarnation.

Or take the world into the great cycle together.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu does not intend to sweep away himself, he wants to create a few countries with the ability of the industrial revolution, once the Ming interrupts the industrial revolution, other countries will take over the baton of the Ming Dynasty and continue the industrial revolution.

Wang Shouren did not agree with this statement, he always believed that it was meaningless for those who died in the world war to die in their own people.

You can't let the people die because of the ambitions of a few people, right?

It's a philosophical question.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't argue with him, because what he said didn't count.

This year, camera technology has advanced again, with shorter exposure times and much higher pixels.

Ever since the invention of the camera, the emperor has taken a photograph every year.

In the 63rd year of Jingtai, a state-owned enterprise manufactured the first steam bus to present the National Day.

The steam car, in fact, was manufactured when Jingtai was fifty-nine years old, but it was too bumpy and dangerous, and it has been studied.

In the 61st year of Jingtai, there are craftsmen who present a car model, and this year's research on internal combustion engines has made breakthroughs.

The first bus of Daming was officially opened in the first month of the sixty-third year of Jingtai.

Today, workers either walk or cycle to work, or they use intra-city trains, and buses are a luxury means of transportation.

Urban and rural transportation is still dominated by horse-drawn carriages and bicycles.

Only in super first-tier cities will there be urban and rural trains, which are also means of transportation within the city, similar to the subway.

The fare is not high, mainly to facilitate the people's commuting, the ring railway, is generally loss-making, and this money is borne by the local finance itself.

Therefore, only super first-tier cities can afford this loss.

First-tier cities have to pay for subsidies from the center, and the imperial court is unwilling to spend this money, so there is a railway planning policy every year, but it has not been put into practice.

This year, the Hub officially issued banknotes.

The unified name is Ming Yuan, or Jingtai coin, and the coin is printed with the head of Emperor Jingtai.

The largest denominations are 100 yuan banknotes, 50 yuan, 20 yuan and 10 yuan, all of which are the heads of the unified Jingtai Emperor.

Banknotes and silver coins have the same validity.

The Ming Yuan is linked to gold, using the gold standard, which can also be called Ming gold.

Regarding the anti-counterfeiting of banknotes, Jingtai began to study it in the 50th year, so there is no need to worry too much about the anti-counterfeiting problem.

Counterfeit money is sure to appear.

However, before the promulgation of paper money, the Criminal Department promulgated a numismatic law, which clearly stipulates what is the crime of minting and privately using counterfeit money, especially the crime of counterfeiting paper money, and the crime is increased by one degree.

Twenty years after the banknote was issued, silver coins were completely withdrawn from the market and no longer in circulation.

The people still have a lot of distrust of paper money.

The treasure money can make the people miserable, and after Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne, after the issuance of silver coins, the central credit was gradually restored.

Until then, the central credit has been negative.

For more than 40 years, silver coins have been used comfortably and are liked at home and abroad.

The sudden re-issuance of paper money will inevitably cause distrust among the people.

All of a sudden, there was a shortage of money.

Worried about the decline of silver coins in the world, the common people began to frantically recycle silver coins, hide silver coins, and no one wanted paper money.

As a result, there is not enough silver coins in the market, and the price of silver coins has increased.

The imperial court immediately issued an order not to allow the people to raise the price of silver without permission, and appropriately issued some silver coins to alleviate the money shortage.

After the decision was made to withdraw silver coins from the market, the center would stop issuing silver coins and instead issue paper money, and the number of silver coins on the market would decrease significantly, and naturally there would be a shortage of money.

Folk concepts cannot be changed in a day or two, so be patient.

However, the issuance of paper money stimulated the stock market, and the stock market was in a bull market, and the market skyrocketed.

Royal assets have risen further.

Zhu Jianqi wanted to know how much money his father had.

Zhu Yourong also wanted to know.

Early that morning, after Zhu Qiyu finished Tai Chi, Zhu Youyu wiped his grandfather's sweat with a towel, and the three of them walked into the main hall.

Since the old emperor persuaded Zhu Jianqi, Zhu Jianqi was in a good mood, and he was visibly younger.

Ruling the government is also like a fish in water.

It's all a matter of mentality.

If you have a good mentality, everything will go well.

The emperor basically didn't scold him anymore, but sometimes praised him twice, which was something that Zhu Jianqi didn't dare to think about before.

"Dad, I heard that the phone trial was successful? How many miles away can you hear each other's voices? ”

Zhu Jianqi had just left the early dynasty.

Today, the DPRK discussed the issue of building a railway to Usz.

The Emperor has made up his mind that he must build the Uszzhen Railway.

"How many miles? It can be heard for tens of thousands of miles. Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

The steam revolution and the electrical revolution of the Ming Dynasty were only thirty years apart.

Thanks to the large-scale financial support of the emperor.

Speaking of the electrical revolution, the emperor's total investment exceeded 20 billion, and he vigorously promoted the development of the electrical revolution.

Last month, Daming Electric Light Company was listed on the Beijing Stock Exchange, directly entering the top 50 of the top 500 Daming 500 enterprises.

Electric light, but now the most extravagant thing in the Ming Dynasty.

The electric light company, which proposed the concept of a storage battery, immediately rose ten points on the stock market and doubled its market value.

According to Zhu Jianqi's observation, the controlling boss behind this electric light company is very likely to be his father.

"Dad, there really is a treasure trove under this Heart Nourishing Palace?" Zhu Jianqi wanted to know how much money his father had?

Zhu Qiyu looked at him with a smile: "I'm afraid I told you that you don't want to work hard." ”

"Grandpa, so much money?" Zhu Youyan almost jumped up, who doesn't want to be a loser.

"Let's all get out."

Zhu Qiyu waved away from the palace people, walked to the dormitory, put on a wooden pillow, opened the mechanism, and took out a key.

Coming out of the dormitory, he pointed to the throne: "Unscrew." ”

Zhu Yourong found that the throne was welded to the spot, and after twisting, there was a creaking sound, the bookcase turned, and an iron door appeared on the wall.

He tapped his fingers and saw that it was the Dead Heart Gate.

This door has a combination lock and a keyhole, which consists of two locks.

The emperor twisted the code number and opened it with the key, before opening the iron door, Zhu Youyu looked at the door, this one can't be opened with a cannon, right?

"Come in."

Zhu Qiyu walked in front and pointed to the stone pier next to him: "This is the Broken Dragon Stone, one day, if a rebel army enters the palace, you can hide here, and the cannon can't be opened, it is enough to drag the rescuers into the palace to save the driver." ”

Zhu Jianqi and Zhu Youyu followed in.

Inside is an invisible dungeon, and whale oil burns on both sides of the corridor, which will never be extinguished.

In the corridor, there are several small rooms with locked doors.

Between each room, there was a large iron door, which was now unlocked, and was used to slow down the rebels.

"There's a ledger in there."

"This room has clothes and food in case of emergency."

"It's a small ordnance factory, and there's all kinds of ordnance."

Zhu Qiyu introduced the two of them as he walked.

Zhu Jianqi was dumbfounded: "Dad, when did you build it?" ”

Don't say he doesn't know, no one in the entire previous dynasty knows.

This is the palace, a shovel of soil, the world has to be turbulent, how did the emperor hide everyone's eyes and ears and build the underground palace?

"Do you remember Shu Liang?"

Zhu Qiyu looked back: "In his later years, Shu Liang almost didn't show up in the previous dynasty, but he was actually building this underground palace for me. ”

"From the forty years of Jingtai to the forty-seventh year of Jingtai, it took seven years to build this underground palace, using the best materials at that time."

"This dome, this wall, cannons can blast it open."

"This underground palace was built according to the rules of the fortress."

"Once there is a change outside, it can accommodate at least 500 people, and it is the last bastion to defend the imperial power."

Zhu Qiyu walked into the innermost layer.

This room is also locked.

But there is no keyhole, and there is no combination lock.

The old emperor took off the seal of the Son of Heaven, put the seal of the Son of Heaven in the groove, and the door of the underground palace slowly opened, which was a door.

A blinding golden light refracted through the crack in the door.

When the door of the underground palace was completely opened, Zhu Jianqi and Zhu Youyu were completely stupid.

A large flat of about 200 square meters.

Piled with gold and gold bricks, and coveted jewels and gemstones, those precious diamonds, are packed in boxes here!

A large gold brick, covering an area of about 130 square meters, a full 1,600 tons of gold!

There are also all kinds of jewelry, all of which are of great value to the people, but here, they are all packed in boxes, box by box of jade, jade, and it is not clear how many there are.

"Daddy, am I dreaming?"

Zhu Jianqi is really stupid.

He guessed that the old man was rich, but he really didn't expect the old man to be so rich.

In the past, he always complained that the old man spent money like water.

Now I know that he is a frog at the bottom of the well, and he still laughs at the old man for being a loser, is the old man a squander? That's to play with a leg hair.

Where did he get so much money?

"Grandpa, it's all mine from now on, right?" Zhu Yourong's eyes are blue, and he is still happiest to be a loser.

"You can't just spend this money."

Zhu Qiyu didn't feel about money: "The imperial court has no gold reserves, and the paper money issued by the Ming Dynasty is based on the gold reserves in my hands." ”

"You know where the money came from this time, right?"

Zhu Jianqi shook his head.

"It's a reserve."

"I got the gold from all over the world in order to issue paper money, so I sold the gold mines in Africa, the Americas, and Oceania, so that I could collect so much gold in a short period of time."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have that much gold, understand?"

Wait a minute.

Meaning, the old emperor's assets are more than that?

"That's right."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "This is just the tip of the iceberg of my assets. ”

"Dad, the tip of the iceberg? Did you use the wrong idiom? So much gold, it is estimated that there are thousands of tons, right? ”

"1,600 tons, plus these jewels, the total value is around 1,900 tons." Zhu Qiyu didn't intend to hide them.

Can there be so much money in the world?

"Hey, you're underestimating the world."

Zhu Qiyu said: "The fact that I can get so much gold in a short period of time just shows that there is much more gold in the world than this." ”

"This time, I have sold my stake in the gold mine in the feudal country, and if I don't sell it, I will make more money in the future."

"I've brought you here."

"I'll tell you all my assets."

"Don't look at it, come out."

These two guys lost their minds by so much gold, Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "In the future, it will all be yours, you can come and see it every day, but you can't spend it." ”

"Can't spend it at all?" Zhu Youyu asked.

"Not a single gram can be moved."

Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "What does it mean that the central government issues banknotes and uses my private property as a reserve?" ”

Zhu Youyu's eyes lit up: "It means that the banknotes are in the hands of the royal family." ”

Gold can't be spent, but paper money can be spent as much as you like.

"Not only that, but paper money is actually my private currency."

"The center didn't see this, and I took the lead."

"Remember, this is the right to mint money, and you must not lose it in your hands."

"In order to seize this opportunity, I lost at least 500 tons of gold."

The mood of the two people was suddenly not beautiful.

What's the use of this opportunity, the Ming Dynasty is the world, whether it is the court or the royal family, it is the emperor's.

If you say this before the Industrial Revolution, it makes sense.

But now, don't lie to yourselves.

As Zhu Qiyu becomes the emperor, the people have no opinion, let's take a look at it, with the advancement of the electrical revolution, the emperor's power will become smaller and smaller, and he will gradually become a mascot.

And the reserve will become the emperor's confidence to gain economic authority.

At most, the Zhu family can get half of the political power, and it will not completely become a mascot.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu would rather lose future gains, but also must seize this opportunity, as long as the royal family does not squander gold and continues to save gold, the right to issue banknotes will always be in the hands of the emperor.

Even if the currency goes from the gold standard to credit.

That's okay too.

Gold is still valuable, and spending so much gold is better than putting it away, and you can still gain political power.

"I also invested in asphalt roads and railways, two big projects."

"I can't make much money, but I can use it as a pension capital and I can eat until I am old."

"After the steam revolution, my total investment is about 70 billion, and the account books are all in that secret room, you can check them at any time."

"As of now, the expected return is around 200 billion."

"But the real return of funds is only 50 billion, and I have already invested this money in the electrical revolution."

"I really took out 50 billion yuan, a total of 100 billion yuan, and invested it in the electrical revolution."

"There is no return on this piece for the time being."

"But I expect that the future return will be more than ten times, which is one trillion."

Electric lights, telephones, cars, telegraphs, making a trillion in the future, is really not much.

"Royal commercial banks and other imperial enterprises seem to make a profit of about 2 billion a year, but they are actually losing money."

"Because of the money, it will be invested again."

"Anyway, in twenty years, I haven't seen any money back."

"With the listing of these companies, if I cash out and leave, the expected return is around 30 billion."

"It includes 107 high-end brands, 577 industrial enterprises, and 1,689 other enterprises, excluding banks, power companies, railway companies and other enterprises."

"And there are more than 37,000 companies invested by the imperial enterprises in the private sector, I don't remember it clearly."

"The expected return should be around 200 billion, but when it will be returned, and whether it will lose money in the future, I can't say."

Anyway, I'm too rich!

Zhu Jianqi and Zhu Youyan were really dumbfounded.

Dad, if I knew you were so rich, would I be so slammed?

Grandpa, if I knew that our family was so rich, I would still work hard, wouldn't it be nice to be a faint gentleman?

"Don't look at me like that."

"It's all estimates, if you don't do it well, you won't have any money, and what you invested before will be lost."

"Besides, it's all a concept, and I don't have any cash in my hands."

Zhu Qiyu said: "The gold seems to be the most, but it is actually just a reserve, and it can't be touched at all." ”

"Those jewels, gems, diamonds, just collections."

"By the way, I still have 17 million cultural relics, and 1.74 million Chinese treasure-level cultural relics."

"I also have twelve private museums."

"But this is all ancestral property, and I won't sell my property, so I won't be counted."

Zhu Jianqi fainted to death.

Those national treasures, if you really want to make a price, are estimated to be more expensive than those gold.

Of the twelve museums mentioned by the emperor, the Forbidden City Museum in Beijing is larger than the Forbidden City, and the museums in other places are not much smaller than the Forbidden City.

There are also banks, which the emperor has a controlling stake, as well as tobacco, alcohol, sugar, rubber, etc., as well as heavy industrial enterprises, there are too many.

If you add it all up.

The total assets of the emperor were more than 5,000 tons of gold.

The emperor is definitely the richest man in the world, there is no one.

But the emperor also said that there is no cash at all, it is all assets.

The two Forbidden Cities are also the emperor's net worth.

If you want to count fixed property, there are not only two Forbidden Cities, but also museums, exhibition halls, and palaces, which the emperor has, and there are many fixed properties.

"Prince, do you still think our family is poor?" Zhu Qiyu asked him with a smile.

Zhu Jianqi's face was full of embarrassment.

He couldn't see his father spending money lavishly, so he slammed the door everywhere.

Let's just say that in the past two years, the Ming-Austrian War, across thousands of miles to fight the Ottoman Empire, in China, the construction of railways, the construction of four major projects, and the construction of the Yenisei project, neither delayed.

Fiscal deficits for the second year in a row.

The inner money is also constantly taking money out.

How can Zhu Jianqi stand it, he is really worried that his father will subsidize everything to the feudal state, and after he ascends the throne, he will take over a mess.

There are too many precedents of this kind, and what Emperor Renzong inherited is not a mess.

But.

Today, the old emperor settled his family with him.

I realized that I was really stupid.

The old emperor seems to be losing money everywhere, but in fact he makes money everywhere, but he just changes the way he makes money, and he just makes money with goods.

Two industrial revolutions.

It's all the old emperor's push, and everyone else thinks that the old emperor is losing his pants.

In fact, the old emperor didn't have any cash, but a bunch of shares, as long as he wanted to cash out and leave, he could cash out a large amount of cash.

Because the industries in which the emperor has invested have been done.

have become the mainstay of the industry.

In the end, the old emperor did not lose money at all, but made a lot of money.

He was the first to eat crabs, and his mouth was full of oil.

"The son knows his mistake." Zhu Jianqi smiled bitterly.

"That's right."

"And that's not even counting the copyright in my hands."

"The high-quality copyright in my hands will be a mountain of gold in the future, and it will be more valuable than the mountain of gold in the secret room."

"Don't look at my copyright open period is 30 years, and when 30 years pass, these characters in copyright will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they are all familiar characters."

"How much money will you make in the derivative market?"

"As long as you take a long-term view, you won't lose money on your investment."

"By the way, there are patents."

"Last year, a eunuch counted that over the years, I have invested in a total of 1.7 million enterprises, and more than 1.5 million have collapsed."

"The money seems to have been wasted, but in fact, their company's patents have become mine."

"You may not know that I have already earned back the money I invested with these patents."

Mention patents.

Everyone had to admire the emperor's foresight.

In those years, the emperor vigorously promoted the patent law, severely cracked down on theft and piracy, and strictly guaranteed the patent law.

This led to a boom in invention.

More than 40 years later, patents have become a breeding ground for royalty.

"There is one more item that is not counted, the military industry."

"It's almost all invested internally."

"But I don't plan to open it to the outside world, and I don't plan to use it to make money."

"If you count it all, in the next 50 years, my assets may reach 10,000 tons of gold."

Hiss!

Zhu Jianqi and Zhu Youyu both gasped.

With so much money, who can overthrow the Ming Dynasty?

"Grandpa, what if my grandson doesn't want to be a miser?" Zhu Youchang swallowed his saliva, it was too uncomfortable to have money and not be able to spend it.

Syllable!

Zhu Jianqi slapped his head hard: "If you dare to spend money, I will beat you to death!" ”

Zhu Youchang grinned in pain.

His father is a miser character, he has to guard a silver coin and refuses to spend it, and his East Palace is definitely the most shabby East Palace in history.

It's not that the emperor's grandfather doesn't give it, but his father doesn't want it.

Reluctant.

Even the concubines in his harem are dissatisfied with this prince, we are happy to enter the palace, but as a result, life is not as good as at home.

It's even more incomparable to the palace.

The old emperor was rich and generous, and the eunuchs in the palace had excellent food and clothing.

There is only the East Palace.

Outsiders think that the emperor is harsh on the prince, but in fact it is not, the prince does not spend, and the courtiers praise the prince for his simplicity.

The prince is not simple, but shabby.

It's so shabby that he can't stand it as a son.

His father couldn't stand it.

However, the prince compared himself to Liu Heng, the emperor of Han Wen, and thought that he could be a model for the people of the world by being thrifty.

Now, even Zhu Jianqi feels that he is not Shabi.

His father is so rich, there is really no need to save, so he shouldn't be a miser?
