Zhu Bai felt that what Lin Che said was somewhat contradictory.

We must not only do great projects that will benefit the future generations, but also prevent our people from suffering and suffering.

There is no such good thing in the world.

"The matter of silver is the best thing to solve."

Lin Che subconsciously wanted to tell the matter of the gold mountain and silver island of the Japanese country.

But he was worried that these two little broken children would not have Zhu Fan to watch, and they would talk about this matter everywhere later, causing unnecessary trouble to themselves.

After thinking about it, Lin Che still came up with another way.

He coughed and said, "This kind of thing that connects the north-south water network is naturally not something that can be completed in a short period of time. ”

"In addition, every year, the time suitable for repairing the river is only a few months.

"So we just need to treat it as a long-term project, make a plan every year, set the river that should be repaired, and set a time for completion."

"According to today's prices, it will cost a maximum of 300,000 taels of silver a year, don't tell me, the grandmother of the court has no balance?"

There are two approaches to this kind of long-term project.

One is that after the Ming Dynasty occupied the gold and silver islands of the Wa Kingdom, he had a sufficient budget and was able to use the way of smashing silver.

The work that should have been extended to decades to be completed was completed in the shortest possible time.

And if it weren't for this windfall.

Then we can only connect a few rivers every year, just like Yugong moving mountains.

There will come a time when the water network from the north and south can be connected.

Zhu Bai was asked by Lin Che, and the whole person who asked was stunned on the spot.

He never imagined that the time to complete a matter would be extended by decades.

But it is undeniable that if you do what Lin Che said, there will indeed be no loss of people's power.

Zhu Bai clearly realized that the question he wanted to ask just now was too eager for quick success.

Just thinking about recruiting 100,000 people and completing the great achievement of connecting the world's water network.

But he didn't think that there was another way.

It can do things well without adding a burden to the people.

Zhu Bai bowed his head to Lin Che in shame and said:

"Sir, just now I only thought of making a career in the morning and night."

"But I didn't expect to treat the dredging of the water network as a long-term thing."

"Speaking of which, I'm still too short-sighted and blinded by my meritorious son."

Lin Che likes Zhu Bai's character of knowing mistakes and being able to change.

However, he felt that this kid's reaction was really too much.

After all, everyone is here, and it's just a matter of talking about national affairs.

It's normal to say the wrong thing at this time, as long as you can recognize the mistake.

It's not true, what is going to do to dredge the water network.

So, Lin Che patted Zhu Bai on the shoulder.

Motioned for him to relax: "It's good to know that mistakes can be corrected, but we're just okay with nonsense." ”

"You kid made the scene so serious, how can I continue."

When Zhu Bai heard this, he hurriedly showed an embarrassed smile.

But he just asked so many questions about the water network policy.

It's not like before, it's just to lift the bar.

Rather, Zhu Bai is keenly aware of the water network that connects the world.

For Daming, what a great achievement it will be.

"Do you have any questions?"

Since Zhu Fan didn't come, Lin Che's lecture today was a little boring.

I plan to end today's lesson after I finish talking about the benefits of connecting the world with the water network.

"Sir, I have one more thing."

Zhu Bai, who came with the task, looked at Lin Che who was full of anger, and hurriedly raised his hand.

He didn't wait for Lin Che to ask questions, so he said bluntly: "Sir, the good gentry in the world you mentioned earlier, I went back and thought about it, and found that although this strategy is good, there are two huge loopholes. ”

If according to the previous rules, such a military-related issue.

It should be brought up by Zhu Zhang, which is the least likely to arouse Lin Che's suspicion.

It's just that he's still dealing with the Tan people.

And Zhu Gui came to listen to the lecture today, just to touch the fish, and it is really not suitable to ask this question.

And this important task fell on Zhu Bai, a little broken child.

Lin Che, who was yawning, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard that there was something wrong with his plan.

Although he was a little puzzled, why Zhu Bai cared about military issues.

But compared to this trivial thing.

Lin Che still cares more, he thinks that he has no flaws, but someone has found a loophole.

He hurriedly asked, "Then you can tell me in detail, where is the problem with my assistance order?" ”

Zhu Bai had already learned from the eunuch about the problems encountered by Zhu Yuanzhang in implementing the order to help suppress him.

So he got straight to the point and said: "Sir, your order to help the suppression, although it can mobilize the gentry of the world to serve the country. ”

"But have you forgotten that forging armor without permission is a capital crime in my Ming Dynasty."

"And although war horses can be bought and sold, the good horses belong to the army, and the gentry have nowhere to buy them!"

Lin Che glanced at Zhu Bai in surprise, thinking that this broken child had really studied the feasibility of helping to suppress the order.

"Although I have said it, let the gentry prepare their own horses and armor."

"Didn't you say that you want them to make their own armor!"

Because of Zhu Bai's problem, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who asked people to pass on the message to him.

So in the face of Lin Che's surprising answer.

He was stunned for a while before he held back a sentence: "Sir, if you don't let the gentry forge armor, then how should they be armed and go on an expedition to the Northern Yuan with the army?" ”

Zhu Gui didn't know this question, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who asked Zhu Bai to ask.

After he recovered from the shame he had just had.

Hearing Zhu Bai's question, he raised his hand and gave him a brain meltdown.

said with a smile: "If you say anything stupid, the gentry can't make armor, can't the imperial court make it?" ”

Zhu Bai was hit on the door of the head.

There was an expression of disbelief on his face.

"You mean, the imperial court forged armor and sold it to the squire landlords, this is really..."

Zhu Bai didn't know what words to use to describe this.

Because it's like the imperial court selling armaments to the gentry.

It seems like it hasn't happened in thousands of years.

After all, generally speaking, if the civilian force is strengthened.

At worst, it will lead to the failure of the imperial decree, and at worst, it will be full of smoke.

However, Lin Che had a completely indifferent attitude.

He looked at Zhu Bai curiously and asked, "Is there a problem with the imperial court Duan making armor and selling it to the gentry?" Anyway, this thing will be eliminated in a short time! ”

Facing Lin Che's words, he said something amazing.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the secret room, said to himself in disbelief: "What? Armor to be eliminated? ”

You know, for Zhu Yuanzhang, who has fought all his life.

He knew too well the decisive role of armor on the battlefield.

It can be said that armor is the second life for soldiers.
