Chapter 118 Halfway Dead Inventions

The round globe was slowly rotating, Yun Zhao held down the earth with one hand, Qian Duoduo looked at her husband strangely and said, "What's the matter, our family can continue to have private property?" ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, you can, but it can't be done within a radius of three thousand miles from Chang'an." ”

Qian Duoduo looked at her husband, gave a disdainful look, and continued to weave her colorful ribbons.

Chang'an is three thousand miles in circumference, and it is a straight-line distance, Qian Duoduo doesn't think he will have any chance to go three thousand miles away to ride a horse, with these skills, it is better to weave the girl's colorful hairband.

"We have discussed that it is not a good thing for meritorious heroes not to be without a reward, and to blindly ask them to give, but the land of the country must first be close to our own people.

Therefore, their fiefdom can only go 3,000 miles away. ”

Qian Duoduo spit out half of the silk thread from his mouth and said, "Han Xiufen, Shi Lang may become popular immediately." ”

Yun Zhao glanced at Qian Duoduo and said, "You want to say Zhu Cunji and them, right?" ”

Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Yes, not only Zhu Cunji, but also the remnants of the Ming Dynasty's royal family, they must also want to stay away from you." ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "It's good if they think like this, I always feel that the people of Daming don't have a good pioneering spirit, if these people are willing to go to sea, I have no opinion." ”

"Hey, husband, do you really allow them to go outside the territory?"

Yun Zhao nodded again and said, "This is a good strategy, I am worried that they are used to living a comfortable life and have no determination to forge ahead." ”

Qian Duoduo leaned in front of Yun Zhao and whispered: "Han Xiufen said that if you plant sugarcane to squeeze sugar in the South China Sea. A lot of money, much better than the current price of salt. ”

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "Since Lantian took over the Daming Salt Administration, I have not allowed the government to use the necessity of salt to make money, and it is a good thing to maintain the profit of the Salt Administration at one percent."

As for sucrose, it is a luxury, and it doesn't matter if the poor eat sugar or not, I don't think there's a problem with someone who is willing to eat something sweet and is willing to pay a high price for it.

But who wants to leave their family and business to grow sugar cane? ”

After saying that, Yun Zhao's face suddenly changed, and he looked at his wife in a daze, he was very afraid that the terrifying answer would come out of his wife's mouth.

Really......

"Husband, I don't understand, listen to Han Xiufen, there is actually not much shortage of people on the island, as well as those islands in the North Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea, not to mention that the forests of the Southwest Jiaozhi generation are full of wild people squatting on trees and eating wild fruits.

Han Xiufen said that these people can use it as long as they are caught from the forest, and it is simple to grow sugarcane. ”

Yun Zhao is still very satisfied with Qian Duoduo's thoughtfulness, at least, this mother-in-law said so bluntly about getting serfs from North Korea and the Wa Kingdom, and only said that she was willing to catch the wild people in the forest......

Yun Zhao understood that once the southwest began to grow sugarcane and obtained a lot of benefits, then a lot of dark things would definitely happen, and they would happen in full swing.

If nothing else, just after Lantian began to spin wool, the number of shepherds on the grassland increased by 600,000 in two years.

As for how much the sheep have increased, Yun Zhao has not yet obtained an accurate figure, but judging from the pasture dispute near the Aqilihaizi that is often mentioned in the documents, the Lantian people have already released the sheep to Lake Baikal.

As a new class, the Lantian merchants were untied by Yun Zhao after the ropes tied to them were untied by Yun Zhao, and their ambitions spread like wildfire all over the world.

In today's Prime Minister's Mansion, a large group of businessmen are discussing with Zhang Guozhu whether they can move the Lantian Border Army north for 2,000 miles to defend their property, and of course, they are willing to bear half of the military expenses of the Wubian soldiers.

Zhang Guozhu did not agree to exchange the soldiers of the empire for money, but Yun Zhao thought that this was a good thing, and he could agree to it experimentally first, and then improve it after the problems were exposed, and finally form a complete system.

Whether it is cane sugar or wool, in Yun Zhao's view, this is the driving force for the imperial army to expand outward, and expansion without power is completely undesirable.

For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, sent a large army to the west for the sake of a few horses, which must be strictly prohibited.

Yun Zhao felt that his mentality was very stable now, if there was no need for war, or if it was not worth it, even if he was humiliated by the enemy, Yun Zhao could do it himself.

If the war is very beneficial to Lantian, or if Lantian can be put in a very advantageous position, even if the target of the battle is Yun Zhao's favorite person, I'm sorry, the war will definitely come quickly.

What kind of bullshit emperor is angry and bleeding and drifting pestle, ambushing millions of corpses, if Yun Zhao is angry, he needs to shed the blood of his own people or soldiers, and it is very unworthy, Yun Zhao will definitely find a place where no one is, vent his anger, and then come back to live a good life.

If you don't manipulate it well, the sheep will eat people, and the sucrose can also be sweet to death.

And Yun Zhao thought about it, but he didn't come up with a way not to appear sheep eating people, or sugar sweet dead people, capital has its own rules of operation, and if you want to make huge profits, then bloodshed is inevitable.

Therefore, in the matter of wool and cane sugar, Yun Zhao decided to pretend to be stupid and handed over to Zhang Guozhu to deal with it.

After all, with Zhang Guozhu's eyes, it was impossible for him not to see how important these two things were to the expansion of the empire.

Now, the Lantian army has been dispatched in groups, measuring the territory of the Ming Dynasty with its own feet, and is using its own artillery and firearms to firmly weld the huge Ming into a whole.

The scholars of Lantian are scattered in the land of the Ming Dynasty and establish their own regime.

And the merchants of Lantian have attacked from all directions, looking for goods and places that can bring them huge profits.

Well, this is a thriving country, although most of the country is still dilapidated, Yun Zhao believes that as the smoke of gunpowder in the land of the Ming Dynasty gradually dissipates, a bright spring will surely come to this land that has experienced countless hardships.

The next day, Yun Zhao received Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Mengeng's heads, and after looking at them for a while, Yun Zhao decided to use one of the human heads to make a wine bowl, and one human head to make a tea cup.

The empire must show its strength and majesty, and Zuo Liangyu, the heads of Zuo Mengeng's father and son are the tools of Liwei.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The train dragged Yun Zhao up to Jade Mountain with a roar of smoke.

Nowadays, the train has replaced the ox cart and has become the means of transportation connecting Yushan Academy to Yushan City.

Seeing the locomotive that gradually became familiar, Yun Zhao's heart was very happy.

The locomotive of Yushan Academy is not big enough, although it can send hundreds of thousands of catties of goods to Yushan at one time, this is far from enough in Yun Zhao's view, in his opinion, transporting millions of catties of goods at a time is the beginning, and tens of millions of catties is the right way.

The slope of Yushan is very steep, today's goods are fully loaded, and the cabin in the front half is also full of people, so when you come to the steepest Mamian slope, from the other end of this herringbone railway, there is a locomotive, which is behind the train, and the front is dragged hard, and the back is pushed hard, and it is easy to send the heavy goods to Yushan with people.

"That's what I designed, isn't it?"

Yun Zhao said solemnly to Zhang Guozhu, the minister next to him.

Zhang Guozhu said expressionlessly: "If Your Majesty is willing to help me share some state affairs, Weichen will definitely thoroughly understand the subtleties of this railway track, and will also organize the most exquisite language to congratulate Your Majesty on his unparalleled wisdom." ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "Don't overstep your authority, military affairs are mine, government affairs are yours, we had better develop this good habit from now on." ”

Zhang Guozhu grabbed the railing of the train and said angrily: "Since Your Majesty is handling military affairs, it is better to deal with the logistics supply of the army as well, this is your official business, not mine." ”

Yun Zhao frowned and said, "I have more important things to deal with. ”

Zhang Guozhu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty still wants to study your twenty-six live iron sheets today?" ”

Yun Zhao nodded seriously and said, "That's right, if you get it right, you can spread the sound for thousands of miles." ”

Zhang Guozhu said: "Okay, since Your Majesty is so persistent in this thing that transmits sound for thousands of miles, then, should Your Majesty explain that the distance from Yushan Academy to Yushan City is only fifteen miles, and in order to convey a short word, Your Majesty set up generators, telegraphs, and wires between the two places, costing 16,300 silver dollars."

And the sentence you conveyed is full of errors, and the meaning of the word is even more different.

Does Your Majesty think that you are really thinking about the future of the Empire by devoting yourself to this? ”

Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Guozhu seriously and said, "I'm really not playing...... Besides, I only go to see it occasionally. ”

While the two were talking, a glider passed over the train, Yun Zhao got up and waved at the people on the glider, and then sat down and said to Zhang Guozhu: "Isn't our country showing a thriving appearance?" ”

Zhang Guozhu was speechless, he really had no way to judge whether what Yun Zhao was doing now was right or wrong.

If it is right, then the carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty has proved that he is a dumb emperor with his own actions.

If it is wrong, the train, which has invested a lot of money to successfully research under Yun Zhao's care, has proven its practicality.

The train soon arrived at Yushan Academy Station, Yun Zhao and Zhang Guozhu got off the train, and watched the train continue to gallop in the direction of the research institute, and then entered the academy under the protection of a large group of guards.

Xu Yuanshou finally had the consciousness of a big man now, standing at the gate of the academy and just clasping his fists and saying, "Welcome Your Majesty." ”

Yun Zhao looked at Xu Yuanshou, who had a gray beard, and said, "What is Mr. going to say today, you might as well hurry up, I have something to do in a while." ”

Xu Yuanshou saluted again: "Your Majesty has nothing to do for a while, and the old minister has already taken all your toys back to the warehouse." ”
