Chapter 17: Convincing the Mother
Princess Yan suddenly sighed.
Picking up the handkerchief, he stretched out to the placket of Zhu Gaochi's clothes, which had stains on it, which were dyed by the coal stove operated by Wan San in the morning.
A shallow point, that is, Princess Yan's sharp eyes, can be found by her.
"Boss, you're going to pick the portal."
Princess Yan put away her handkerchief, and her serious tone moved Zhu Gaochi's heart.
There were some words that she couldn't say clearly, for fear of affecting the children's brotherhood.
But there is some truth, as a mother, she must let her eldest son understand again.
Otherwise, it will harm the eldest son.
"Mother, I understand."
Zhu Gaochi said seriously.
"The younger brothers are outstanding, although the second brother is only thirteen years old, everyone can see the talent of the second brother, and he will definitely be his father's right-hand man in the future."
"The third brother is still young, but he is calm and can be obedient and study seriously."
"Let's be the eldest brother, Wu is better than the second brother, and Wen is not better than the third brother, so naturally we have to find other paths."
Hearing the words of her eldest son, Princess Yan became worried in her heart.
The boss actually understood.
But.
Princess Yan suddenly didn't want the boss to understand these truths.
The more the boss understood, the more afraid Princess Yan became.
Princess Yan Xu.
is not an ordinary woman, and she is also highly praised in the history books.
Zhumen family, how can the Xu family not understand the danger.
"Let's let the steam engine invented by Wansan make it more convenient for mining and increase the output of coal."
"Now most of the people in Beiping City use firewood to make fires for cooking, and the trees are not easy to grow and will dry up sooner or later."
In Zhu Gaochi's industrial plan, the steam engine is a core part.
One ring after another, but he couldn't explain it to Princess Yan.
Explaining her industrial plan to Princess Yan is like explaining the smartphone industry plan to people in the sixties and seventies.
Therefore, Zhu Gaochi used things that Princess Yan could understand to explain his operation.
Only what the people need.
"As the saying goes, there are seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, firewood is put in the first place, which shows the importance of the people's hearts."
Princess Yan's eyes became solemn.
She somewhat understood what the boss meant, although the boss hadn't said it all.
"Let's go to Jundu Mountain, Yanshan has turned, and many places are bald."
"It can't be banned, the population of Beiping City is increasing day by day, or it won't be many years before there will be no firewood available, and the price of firewood is getting more and more expensive."
"Coal is more durable than firewood and charcoal, but the mining area is limited by groundwater and cannot be mined, so only the surface layer can be mined, resulting in low coal production and low prices."
"With the steam engine, it is different, the output of coal will be higher and higher, and the price will be cheaper and cheaper in the future, and when the price is lower than the charcoal, the people will switch to coal."
"The son's talent is insufficient, and there are not many things he can do, so he regards the affairs of the common people as our own affairs, worthy of the teachings of the emperor's grandfather and the expectations of his father."
When Zhu Gaochi was young, he lived in Yingtianfu with his younger brothers, and he met Zhu Yuanzhang at that time and was often taught.
Princess Yan understood.
King Xian.
The son wants to be a good king.
However, it is not the virtuous king in the mouth of the officials, but the virtuous king in the mouth of the people.
Princess Yan Xu knew that the reader was powerful.
At other times, the boss may not be successful.
But it's different with my father-in-law.
This piece of the world.
Who cares most about the people?
As long as the people praise the boss, the secret agents all over the country with his father-in-law will know about it sooner or later, and he will be deeply praised.
Even if there was an accident that she didn't know about and didn't reach her father-in-law's ears, Princess Yan also had the means to let her father-in-law know.
My eldest brother is still in the capital.
With the approval of his father-in-law, no one can shake the position of the boss.
It's good to be a virtuous king.
When you become a virtuous king, you will be brothers and sisters, and there will be no fratricidal things.
Princess Yan frowned, was in a good mood, and pointed to her eldest son.
"You see the advantages of coal, but you don't see the disadvantages, coal is not as powerful as firewood, but I am afraid that the people are not willing to use coal."
When Xu was born, Chen Youliang was still at war with Zhu Yuanzhang, so she knew the suffering of the people.
I have seen coal, so I know the disadvantages of coal.
Cleared?
Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
If you can convince your mother, you can convince your father.
With Zhu Di's approval, he can display his ambitions step by step.
When the effect is really brought into play, there is a real scene, and there is no need to explain it yourself, Zhu Di naturally knows how powerful.
This piece of the world.
Who knows how to develop industry better than themselves?
Before the crossing, he was nothing, but when he traveled to Daming, he experienced the information explosion, which was the most valuable capital.
When the industry is mastered, who can beat themselves?
"The problem that the mother thought of, the son also thought of."
Zhu Gaochi smiled confidently.
"How are you going to solve it?"
Princess Yan saw that the boss was selling Guanzi, although she saw his intentions, she was still interested in him.
Zhu Gaochi shook his head.
"My son will keep it secret first, and on the day it will be made, he will give his mother a surprise."
Nothing more than honeycomb coal.
Princess Yan has never seen the real thing, and she can only half-understand it.
Invention and the market should be combined.
Inventions without a market are a waste of resources.
Honeycomb coal is the market prepared by Zhu Gaochi.
Ordinary people in the north.
An average of fifty acres of land is divided among one person.
After more than 20 years of development, the population has increased, and the food has become rich, and the people are not short of money and food, but have a huge gap in their living needs.
Now the Ming Dynasty.
There is a market, consumption power, and a demographic dividend, but what is lacking is excellent goods.
Industrial products such as silk and porcelain did not fall out of thin air, but appeared suddenly.
Causality.
Without the market, there would be no excellence in these commodities.
It is precisely because of the huge market of Daming that there is the soil for cultivating these excellent commodities, which are not only sought after in China, but also snapped up by the world.
……
"Giggle."
Zhu Gaosui outside the courtyard gate heard the laughter of his mother inside, and looked at Zhu Gaosui dumbfounded.
"Why wasn't the eldest brother scolded?"
Zhu Gaosui, who was snotty, shook his head, and the snot was thrown off, making Zhu Gaoxu jump away in fright.
"Your snot almost got on us."
"Hey, hey."
Zhu Gaosui cracked his mouth, revealing scarce teeth and smirking.
It's ugly and dirty.
The eldest brother is reluctant to play with him, only the second brother takes him to play, and the second brother is better.
In fact.
It's not that Zhu Gaochi doesn't play with Zhu Gaosui.
In Zhu Gaosui's eyes, "playing with mud" is the most fun.
Twelve-year-old Zhu Gaoxu is willing to play with mud, after all, he is still a child, and the two brothers can play together.
Can Zhu Gaochi play?
"Big brother has a lot of skills, this can let him escape."
Zhu Gaoxu thinks about everything.
"Second brother, don't you like big brother?"
Zhu Gaosui was unscrupulous, and said it directly, which frightened Zhu Gaosui and hurriedly covered Zhu Gaosui's mouth.
"You're talking nonsense."
"You can't talk nonsense in the future, if you let us hear it, you won't play with it."
Zhu Gaosui nodded vigorously.
"Don't you really like big brother?"
Zhu Gaoxu muttered to himself.
It is.
Who let when he was young, the eldest brother beat himself in Yingtianfu.
