Zhao Mian concentrated the first batch of 500,000 catties of copper in Luzhou Wei, mobilized more than a dozen large and small ships, and began to transport them to Yingtian...... Needless to say, the Jinsha River channel has not been completely cleared, and along the way it had to change ships five times, climb over mountains and mountains, and more than a dozen animals fell to their deaths.

It took four months to enter the Yangtze River channel, after turning into the Yangtze River, it was completely enlightened, there was a kind of constipation for a good month, and the ship quickly went south, and it took only a month to arrive at Yingtian and send it to the household for delivery!

Less than a year before and after, the legendary Yunnan copper entered Beijing.

It turned out that the distant Yunnan, there was still a treasure buried, and it set off a boom in the capital in an instant, as if the great voyage discovered the silver of the Americas, and countless people went to the Americas to adventure, and there were also many sensitive businessmen who immediately set off to Yunnan to seek business opportunities.

And the name Liu Chun once again appeared in the conversation of the people after dinner.

In fact, after Liu Chun left Beijing, many people wanted him to disappear forever, racked their brains, and thought of various ways, they banned the hot air balloon flight in the name of peeking into the palace and plotting against him, and attacked Jimingshan Academy several times under various excuses, hoping to pull out this thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

In addition, there were several people who wrote to the Confucian Temple in the hope of expelling Guo Shoujing from the Confucian Temple.

Some people even secretly poured dog blood on Guo Shoujing's statue...... All kinds of farces, to name a few.

But the more they jumped up and down, the higher Liu Chun's reputation among the people became, and the more sympathy he received. With the entry of Yunnan copper into Beijing, people have once again ignited their enthusiasm.

No matter where Lord Liu goes, no matter what his identity is, or what his circumstances are, he always thinks about the people in the world and wants to benefit the people. This is a real good official, a scholar with a conscience! A great talent who really does things!

Yoo Chun has always preached science.

From this moment on, the term "Liuxue" appeared in the capital, and if science corresponds to "science", then "Liuxue" directly challenges Confucianism...... In Guozijian, there are even students who abandon their status as prisoners and go directly to Yunnan, and students from all over the world who enter Beijing would rather enter the Jimingshan School than enter Taixue.

In addition, Fengyang and Changsha have also become the centers of new learning, gathering a large group of scholars and literati.

Every bit of Liu Chun's achievements can make these students feel inspired.

They delved into knowledge, studied hard, and hoped that one day, they could be like Liu Chun, benefit the common people, and govern the country and the world.

The so-called half of the Analects governs the world, and gradually becomes "learn Liu to level the world".

The whole situation is changing rapidly.

From Changing the Law to Liuxue...... It seems that Liu Chun, who has left the capital, is more influential and more difficult to deal with than before!

The masters of the East Palace were so distressed that many people kept thinking about how to deal with Liu Chun, and they were so worried that they lost a lot of hair.

Can't this Liu Chun be killed?

Qi Tai invited Lian Zining, as well as Chen Di, and Storm Zhao to discuss...... After some discussion, let them really find a problem!

A big loophole that is enough to defeat Yoo Chun!

"You see, the household department collects Yunnan copper, and one hundred catties cost six taels of silver, that is, six guan money, and one hundred catties of copper can mint up to twenty guan of money, in other words, only fourteen guan earned." Qi Tai took the pen and settled the accounts for everyone.

Lian Zining frowned, "That's a lot!" ”

Qi Tai laughed, "But how much does it cost the imperial court?" The Royal Bank allocated 20 million yuan of loans, the household department provided money and grain, the local mobilization of the people, the Ministry of Industry and the river yamen all made efforts...... Counting up, at least 30 million guan has been smashed into it, and at present, the copper imported from Yunnan every year can be minted at most 1 million guan, and it will take forty or fifty years to recover it after calculating the cost. ”

Chen Di was shocked, "You don't make much money when you look at it like this?" ”

"It's not just that it's not making money! It's a loss! ”

Qi Tai laughed and said, "If this money is used for loans, how much interest can I earn?" And I haven't calculated yet, the interest on borrowing from the Royal Bank, in fact, will not be able to recover the principal for seventy or eighty years! ”

Storm Zhao also said: "This statement is reasonable, and the cost of maintaining the Jinsha River waterway is not a small amount, look at the current expenses of the river yamen, it will be clear." ”

"That's right!"

Qi Tai slapped his face and said happily: "Isn't Liu Chun known as turning stones into gold, and claiming that he is good at managing money?" He has made so many tricks over the years, and he has indeed increased some income, but this time, he has messed up! According to my estimate, he lost money, and lost a lot, and now Liu Chun is simply a swollen face and a fat man, holding on! ”

Lian Zining pondered for a long time, gradually turned the corner, and said: "In this case, should we go to the book to expose Liu Chun's painting skin, and let the government and the opposition know that he is not a capable minister at all!" On the contrary, is he an incompetent person who rejoices in great achievements and wastes people's money? ”

Qi Tai smiled, "That's right, we do want to go to the book to Liu Chun!" Qi Tai got up from his seat, he sneered, he put his hands behind his back, and while pacing, he said: "In the past, we couldn't fight Liu Chun, we were all deceived by his set." During this time, I carefully studied some of Liu Chun's books and articles, and gradually felt his pulse. This is called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles! After figuring out Liu Xue's weaknesses, he will naturally be able to go unstoppable. ”

Lian Zining agreed, "Brother Qi is really extraordinary, using Liu Xue to fight Liu Xue, this trick is too high!" Looks like we're going to have to think about it for a while. ”

Qi Tai smiled reservedly, "I'm just saying that, I have to calculate carefully when I go back, see how much Liu Chun has lost, and when everything is clear, we will write to Your Majesty and dismantle Liu Chun's mask!" ”

……

On the tenth day of Yunnan Tong's entry into Beijing, Zhu Yuanzhang made an exception and called Zhu Yunwen to the palace.

Yes, it's an exception!

For a long time, Zhu Yunwen couldn't see Lao Zhu anymore.

Speaking of which, not long ago, Zhu Biao died three years ago, and his grandparents once went to visit Zhu Biao together, in front of the grave, both of them were extremely sad, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of tears, and Zhu Yunwen almost fainted in front of the grave......

"You've lost a lot of weight!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunwen, who was almost skinny and bones, and suddenly felt pity, after all, it was his grandson.

"Throne!"

The eunuch moved the pier, and after Zhu Yunwen thanked him, he sat down.

"What have you been doing all this time? Have you ever read a book? ”

"Back to the emperor's grandfather's words, my grandson read it!"

"Whose book do you read?"

"Read Master Liu...... Sir's book! ”

"Oh?" Lao Zhu was curious, Zhu Yunwen fell out with Liu Chun, and finally Liu Chun was relegated to Yunnan, Zhu Yunwen was also seriously hit, and was hung by himself for almost a year, he was actually willing to learn Liu Chun's book, what a strange thing!

"Since you have read Liu Chun's book, what do you think of Liu Chun's behavior in Yunnan?" Lao Zhu paused and said: "Some people say that Yunnan copper enters Beijing, which is Liu Chun's great achievement, but some people say that Yunnan copper is actually more than worth the loss, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Yunwen stood up, bowed and said: "Back to the emperor's grandfather's words, my grandson thinks that Yunnan copper is transported to the capital at a great cost. ”

As soon as the four words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang paused slightly, and then chuckled: "Then tell me, where is it spent?" ”

"Back to the emperor's grandfather, the first thing is the Jinsha River waterway, this section of the cost is too much, in addition to the imperial court appropriation, there are also bank loans, the local government has to recruit people, consume food and materials...... Even if you don't count the bank's interest, the cost of this piece is more than 30 million yuan, and in order to maintain the shipping channel in the future, at least 300,000 yuan will be invested every year. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "Well, you also said that...... But Yunnan copper entered Beijing, after all, it solved the urgent need, and the imperial court lacked copper, you don't know! ”

"Back to the emperor's grandfather, the current Yunnan copper entering Beijing a year will not exceed three million catties, even according to Mr. Liu's estimate of the highest amount, it can only break through 10 million catties, all the coinage, only one or two million guan, but the freight consumed on the road will be hundreds of thousands of guan, and the people travel between the valleys, with heavy casualties, and the people along the way are miserable!"

Lao Zhu frowned, "Yun Wei, according to what you said, this Yunnan copper has lost money?" ”

"Yes, according to the grandson's calculations, it is!"

"Is that going to stop Yunnan copper?" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was ethereal, he couldn't hear joy and anger, and asked lightly.

Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed vigorously.

"Grandfather Huang, grandson thinks it's the opposite, no matter how much money you lose! It is necessary to transport Yunnan copper to the capital at any cost, which is related to the Ming Dynasty and the foundation of thousands of generations...... It is by no means something that can be calculated with money, and the grandson implores the imperial grandfather not to be misled by gossip and corrupt scholars...... The grandson spoke Meng Lang, and invited the emperor's grandfather to Mingjian! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his eyelids and slowly looked at Zhu Yunwen, in less than a year, this kid has indeed changed a lot...... Could it be that the edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold?

Zhu Yuanzhang got up slowly, pulled Zhu Yunwen up, and walked to the side of the dragon book case together, "Come, talk to my grandfather, how many benefits are there for this Yunnan copper to enter Beijing!" ”

……

In the East Palace, there is also a fierce quarrel at the moment...... A scribe who was over the age of not confused, facing Qi Tai and others, was calm and calm, and his face sank like water.

In his hand, there is the account that Qi Tai calculated,

"With such shallow knowledge, he dares to take it out to harm His Highness, no wonder His Highness has received a lot of criticism for more than a year, all of them are incompetent! Be a teacher! It's really embarrassing to wait for you! He asked coldly, "Do you have to kill His Royal Highness?" ”

Qi Tai and the others were convinced, and they were furious, "You are just a cloth cloth now, and you dare to talk about state affairs, it makes people laugh!" ”

The scribe sneered, "It's ridiculous, as an official, the corpse is useless, isn't it ridiculous?" ”

"You ......"

The two sides were arguing, and suddenly Zhu Yunwen trotted in from outside, and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Fang, the imperial grandfather praised me!" ”
