Xu Huizu turned around, bowed to Zhu Di, and said directly: "Your Majesty, Weichen implores the General Mountain Workshop to make two thousand pairs of rubber tires to use in the army!" ”

"For the Great Army?"

Without waiting for Zhu Di to speak, Guo An hesitated, and said: "Wei Guogong, this kind of rubber tire has just been invented, and now it can be manufactured at most more than a hundred pairs!"

Moreover, I sold it to the powerful gentry in the Jiangshan Workshop for a pair of 100 taels of treasure bills! ”

"One hundred taels?"

Xu Huizu's eyes were directly round, and his face was full of surprise.

"Dinghaihou is robbing money? A luxurious carriage doesn't need a hundred taels! ”

Guo An's face remained unchanged, he just smiled lightly, "Wei Guogong doesn't know, in the past few years, I don't know how much money I have invested in order to manufacture rubber tires, and Your Majesty also knows about this matter!"

If you don't sell it so expensive, you won't be able to get back in ten years!

Moreover, it is possible to manufacture so many of them every year, and the materials are limited, and it is impossible to supply them on a large scale! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded very kindly.

Xu Huizu couldn't help but calm down, but he was still a little unacceptable, two tires would be sold for a hundred taels of treasure money!

Guo An looked at him again, "Can Wei Guogong buy a carriage with this kind of tire in advance?" ”

Xu Huizu subconsciously asked, "How much does it cost?" ”

Guo An chuckled and said, "The car made of wood is three hundred taels!" If it is like His Majesty's steel, it is eight hundred taels! ”

"Three hundred taels? Eight hundred taels? ”

Xu Huizu couldn't help but widen his eyes again.

On the side, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi also twitched slightly at the corners of their mouths, but they could still bear it.

Xu Huizu said again: "Dinghai Hou, how much money is a good horse, and you are asking for three hundred taels for a carriage made of wood?"

Also, the carriage made of steel plates, you dare to ask for eight hundred taels? ”

Guo An looked indifferent, "The carriage made of steel plates, Wei Guogong also looked around one by one, it is definitely worth the money!" ”

"But ......"

Although Xu Huizu wants it, he is still a little distressed about money.

"Then forget it!"

Guo An shook his head slowly, with a look of regret.

He also said that he had a good relationship with Wei Guogong, and he could book a carriage for Wei Guogong to stay.

In that case, let's sell it to someone else......"

Xu Huizu: "......"

How can it be just that?

And at this time, Guo An no longer paid attention to Xu Huizu, but turned around and chatted with Zhu Di.

"Guo Qing, it's about to be spring!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, spring ploughing is a big deal!"

"The grain has been distributed!"

"Drop it......"

"After spring ploughing, I am going to build a cement straight road from Beijing to Shaanxi ......"

"Cement straight...... Your Majesty, Weichen remembers, there are still some traces of the gallop road built by Qin Shi Huang, right? ”

"Guo Qing supports my decision?"

"Your Majesty, Wechen has always adhered to the principle of the first principle, if you want to bring the people to prosperity, you must build roads.

Wechen created cement, not only to build houses, but also to pave roads! ”

"Guo Qing is really my great Ming minister!"

"It is with the support of a wise monarch like His Majesty that Weichen's talent can be displayed, which is the luck of Weichen!"

"Hahaha, it is precisely because of a virtuous minister like Guo Qing that I can feel comfortable...... It's just that Guo Qing, from the cement road paved by the Beijing division to Shaanxi, is thousands of miles away, how much conscription needs to be recruited, and how much financial and human resources need to be spent......

The ministers of the court and the central government must be desperately admonished, and I don't want to become a faint monarch like Emperor Yang of Sui! ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is easy!"

"Oh? What is Guo Qing's good plan? ”

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that when you were in Beiping Mansion, Weichen asked Guo Bingshan and Guo Pinglin and other masters to build a house construction team?"

"Huh?"

Zhu Di looked at Guo An with a curious expression.

On the side, Xu Huizu looked at Guo An with a tangled face, and wanted to interrupt Guo An's words very much.

Although he is a military general, he likes carriages as much as he likes war horses.

Especially the carriage made of steel plates like Zhu Di, for him, it is impossible to give up, which will already itch in his heart!

This will, the more Guo An doesn't care, the more he wants to buy!

It's just that Guo An didn't seem to see Xu Huizu's expression, and continued to say to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, I have a lot of people who don't have land.

These people were burly and powerful, but they had no land to cultivate, so they could only go to the gentry and big families as tenants, cattle and horses, and after paying taxes and renting grain, there was not much food left in the family, and life was very difficult.

Therefore, Weichen felt that experienced craftsmen such as Guo Bingshan and Guo Pinglin could form a road construction team and recruit hundreds of laborious craftsmen to specialize in paving cement roads!

Take care of food and housing, and pay them wages!

In this way, they don't have to work so hard to be tenants for the gentry, and they can also contribute to the construction of the Ming Dynasty, and they can also make money to support their families......"

"That's a good plan!"

Without thinking about it, Zhu Di directly agreed.

There is an example of a housing construction team in the past, and Zhu Di has already seen how profitable and convenient it is to have a regular construction team.

Moreover, it is not laborious!

You can even feed a lot of families!

What's more, it can also crack down on those evil gentry who specialize in robbing other people's acres of land and want to make a fortune in this way!

Of course, the main reason is that Zhu Di is not short of money!

The money made by a newspaper can fully support the consumption of the road construction team!

Okay, the dozens of workshops in Jiangjun Mountain this year will officially start making money!

Zhu Di has also seen the advertising ability of Di Bao a few days ago......

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guo An's face was overjoyed.

At this time, the straight road is still a cement straight road, which is definitely equivalent to the highway of later generations!

How convenient it is, Guo An knows better than anyone!

Zhu Di said: "This matter will be handed over to Guo Qing!" ”

Guo An hurriedly bowed his hand, "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that this matter still needs His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to participate, and even be responsible for the formation!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi both looked at Guo An with suspicious faces.

Guo An said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he is in charge of the entire cabinet, His Royal Highness the prince does not have to be proficient in many things, but he must understand something, so that he will not be deceived by the officials below!" ”

Zhu Di's expression was shocked, "What Guo Qing said is very reasonable!" The prince is responsible for this matter with you! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Thank you, Dad!"

Guo An and Zhu Gaochi thanked each other.

Zhu Gaochi is also very happy to know about these things.

Hearing this, Xu Huizu on the side finally found an excuse and arched his hand towards Guo An and Zhu Gaochi.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Marquis Dinghai, if I form a construction road team, I can find hundreds of veterans who have retired from the army......"

Guo An asked directly: "Wei Guogong, are these old pawns physically disabled?" ”

Xu Huizu was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "As an old pawn, I have fought countless battles, and my body is naturally a little crippled!" ”

"That won't work!"

Guo An shook his head very seriously, "Wei Guogong, the road construction team will stay in the barren mountains and mountains to pave roads all year round, and some people who are not disabled may not be able to persevere, let alone people with disabilities!" ”

Xu Huizu said: "It's just a road to pave them, they can come down from the battlefield, and they are not afraid of these!" ”

"I'm afraid!"

Guo An hurriedly said: "They are also human lives, knowing that if these disabled people pave roads, they will kill a lot of people, and I also let me agree, that is to deliberately kill people, I can't do it!" ”

“……”

Xu Huizu looked at Guo An in a daze for a long time, and then looked straight and bowed to Guo An.

"Dinghaihou cherishes the life of the old soldier so much, which makes me admire. Therefore, I bought the carriage made of steel plates! ”

"Don't force it!"

Guo An shook his head again and again, "Wei Guogong can rest assured, there are only more than 100 carriages a year, and there is no need for Wei Guogong to waste that money, and the carriage workshop can be easily sold out!" ”

I'm going to build a concrete straight, "......"

Guo thief deceived people too much, hooked his gluttony, and began to hang him again!

Thinking about it, Xu Huizu had a thick face and said directly: "It's okay, I like this kind of carriage!" ”
