But if he is a normal person, after learning the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang abandoned shipping and went to the sea.

It is impossible not to get tired of those corrupt officials.

Including the young Zhu Bai, he couldn't help but scold a few words with hatred.

But then he asked: "Sir, the canal from Beiping to Hangzhou today is the result of many previous dynasties. ”

"But before our dynasty restarted the canal, it took years for the imperial court to re-dredge the river."

"If canals were used as the backbone to connect other rivers to form a network of water that runs through the world, wouldn't it take at least twenty years to recruit millions of people to do all this?"

When Zhu Bai was in the 'practical class' before, he learned a little about Cao Yun through casual chats with the craftsmen.

But he heard that a great river that already existed should be repaired.

After the imperial court recruited hundreds of thousands of people, it took several years to dredge the river.

I was extremely shocked by Zhu Yuanzhang's courage to restart the canal.

However, compared to Lin Che's plan to connect the world's waterways.

Dredging the canal is just too pediatric.

Zhu Bai is very yearning for Lin Che's depiction of the prospect of controlling the world.

But his only concern was that the imperial court might not be able to come up with so much money.

"The people's husband is a small problem, and it is a direct conscription."

Zhu Gui heard Zhu Bai's doubts, but he didn't care and said, "As for connecting the waterway, this is a great thing for the future. ”

"As long as the river is repaired, the local people can benefit, so the money for repairing the river will be paid by the local people."

"For example, according to the area of the state and county, calculate the approximate amount of silver needed, and pay the river repair tax to the town here."

Lin Che originally wanted to move out of the existence of Jinshan Silver Island in the Wa Kingdom.

Tell the two that the money for the river is not a problem.

The most important thing should be to take the opportunity to abolish unpaid servitude.

Instead, people were hired to do the work.

In this way, we can not only give the people a way to live, but also promote economic development.

But Lin Che never thought that Zhu Gui, who came to the lecture for the first time, would actually exist like a hanging.

This guy not only wants the people to build a river for twenty years for the imperial court.

And I don't want to pay a penny for the money to repair the river.

It is intended to be scavenged directly from the people.

Lin Che was speechless for a moment, then raised his hand to give Zhu Gui a brain breakdown, and reprimanded: "Do you kid know? The imperial court collects a penny from the people, and the local corrupt officials can increase the tax to more than ten wen. ”

"If you build the river like this, I'm afraid that the water network in the world has not yet been connected, and my Ming Dynasty will already be full of fires."

Because Zhu Gui came here to listen to the lecture for the first time, and he accompanied Zhu Bai, he didn't take Lin Che's lecture to heart.

So he didn't realize at all that the strategy he proposed to build the river almost all hit Lin Che's taboo.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the secret room next door, accepted Lin Che's new thoughts, were also dissatisfied with Zhu Gui's strategy.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "How do you teach children in the university hall?" Can this kind of harmful ploy be said? ”

"From today onwards, after class, let him work in the Ministry of Engineering for half an hour."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked back at Zhu Biao: "Boss, you will send the captain to keep an eye on this matter, if Lao Jiu is lazy, then he will be punished heavily." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards many princes in the past was quite relaxed.

But after Lin Che opened up the people of the world and opened up the grand blueprint of the supreme cause.

Zhu Yuanzhang's requirements for the royal descendants became more and more severe.

After all, according to Lin Che's strategy of dividing the world.

These princes are the cornerstone of Zhu Yuanzhang's future establishment of a country that surpasses the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties.

If their abilities and character are above the level.

In the future, these pioneering places will all become the territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times.

Then the evaluation of him by later generations may be comparable to the king of Zhou Wen in the world.

As a result, no one will take too much of his callousness anymore.

Zhu Biao didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.

But an unbearable smile flashed in his eyes.

But on the surface, he still had to pretend to be official and asked: "Father, the Ministry of Industry has a lot of work to do, I don't know what you plan Lao Jiu to do?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao when he heard this.

After not finding anything abnormal from the good man's face, he said lightly: "Isn't Yingtian North Gate repairing the moat recently?" ”

"Let this kid dig up the mud with the people."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he couldn't help but look up and peek at Zhu Yuanzhang, but he didn't expect that his old father really planned to punish Lao Jiu with workmanship.

Because before the big machinery, repairing the river was never an easy task.

If the river is full of sediment, it would be fine.

I'm afraid of that kind of sticky, strong suction sludge.

It takes all the effort to dig one shovel of silt, and you can dig three shovels of sand.

Lao Jiu's body bones have not been very good, and he belongs to the sick seedlings, if he really let him dig the mud for half an hour every day.

I'm afraid that before the moat is repaired, this kid will be tired to the hospital bed.

Before he could open his mouth to plead, he persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to change his mind.

Zhu Gui, who was criticized by Lin Che, was a little unconvinced: "Sir, you said that my strategy of repairing the river will cause chaos in the world, do you have a better way?" ”

It's not that Zhu Gui still doesn't believe that Lin Che has an amazing talent, and he knows everything and looks like a fairy-like character.

Instead, for thousands of years, the Central Plains Dynasty built rivers.

It was indispensable to call up free labor and raise taxes to raise funds for the repair of rivers.

Zhu Gui believes that even if Lin Che's thoughts are beyond things, no matter how transcendent they are.

It is also impossible to detach from reality and build the world's water network without spending half of the people's power.

However, Lin Che showed a relaxed smile in the face of Zhu Gui's questioning.

He took a sip of his daughter's red and said with a smile, "I want to connect the rivers of the world without losing people's power." ”

"The imperial court must be formed, a team that specializes in building bridges and rivers."

"Moreover, they have to pay them monthly money according to the market price."

For today's rulers, there is no concept of professional things for professional people to do.

Dredging the river, although it seems to be a hard job.

But even professionals don't dare to say what is involved, and they can fully grasp it.

If the river is just dug indiscriminately, then even the world's water network is temporarily connected.

I'm afraid these rivers will too, because the tofu slag project is disconnected again.

Although the imperial court can save money for a while, it is the national honor that it pays in the end.

Although Zhu Gui understands the importance of paying wages.

But he was still puzzled and asked: "Sir, the canal I built is easy to find skilled workers in water conservancy." ”

"But if you want to send them money, I'm afraid you will have to spend a few taels of silver every month, where can the imperial court get so much money?"

"If you don't add taxes for repairing rivers, then before the world's waterways are connected, the imperial court will already be poor and dead!"
