If you act according to the emperor's regulations, you will not be hated by everyone in the future, but the object of many people's stammering! This errand will be the envy of many people!

There was a result in his heart, Liu Mao was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and the spirit of the whole person suddenly became full, more than before, as if he had just done that demonic thing and absorbed the spirit of many people.

"Your Majesty's talent, the minister can't catch up with 10,000 horses!" Liu Mao bowed deeply and said sincerely.

If it was before, he would not believe that such an idea would have been thought up by the emperor himself, which was really too whimsical, but very effective.

But at this time, after the emperor successively made the Daming Central Bank, Daming banknotes, and Daming Royal Cement Company, it seems logical to come up with such a Daming Road and Bridge Company. Except for the emperor, it is really impossible for others to think of it.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile when he heard his 10,000 horses. He accepted this calmly. He believed that he had more than 400 years of knowledge than these natives, and that he would be much better than them if he were to talk about this talent, not to mention poetry and painting.

After a little complacent, Emperor Chongzhen explained: "After Liu Qing goes back, investigate it and see where it will be easiest to start building." After that, the road planning should also be done well, according to the flow of people and the possible future flow of people estimated, and the south and north are separated from each other. I have a sketch here, take a look at it, and then change it according to the actual situation. ”

After finishing speaking, he took out a piece of rice paper from the imperial table, handed it to the eunuch on the side, and asked him to transfer it to Liu Mao.

Liu Mao took a look, it seemed that there were two roads side by side, with arrows on them, one south and one north. There are also paintings of horse-drawn carriages, trees, post stations, fences, and so on.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, there are trees planted on both sides of the official road, and passers-by will not be so sunny in summer. But there are many things in this picture, which are still not available. Liu Mao looked at it strangely and carefully.

After a long while, after Liu Mao fully grasped the meaning of the sketch, he couldn't help but bow down and say: "Your Majesty has already made thorough preparations, and the minister will definitely build according to this drawing, and there will never be the slightest deviation!" ”

After a pause, he said with admiration on his face: "The minister really didn't expect that the post station could make money for the court so much, it's really breathtaking!" ”

"I don't plan to make this money!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he said unexpectedly, "Although the local government and the imperial court share the fees, a certain percentage of the money must be used for the construction of other local roads." My purpose is to follow this law on the main roads, and those roads with fewer cars and more people should also be repaired, but they can be built without fees for the benefit of the local people. ”

At this point, he immediately added: "I mean this to be made known to everyone before the road is built in the locality." ”

Communicate in advance, all parties know about it, and they all understand that there are benefits, and the work will naturally be active, and the road repair project will be much smoother.

Liu Mao understood this, and immediately nodded, a little excited in his heart, eager to start doing this now.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that he understood, so he finally explained: "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and the hearts of the people will be united, and Mount Tai will move." ”

When Liu Mao heard this, he pondered in his heart, and couldn't help but praise it, these twelve words suddenly said the key to today's discussion. He bowed again and looked up at the emperor, his eyes full of reverence: "I have Your Majesty, and it is really a blessing for the people!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he just smiled. In this day and age, it is still very simple to do something under power. For example, the manpower required to build a road can be done by the government with just an official document.

For now, the construction of roads can basically only be carried out on the original official roads. The so-called opening the road and building a bridge in the water in the mountains is too huge, and it is a hard bone, and it has to be moved back, first easy and then difficult.

Seeing Liu Mao withdraw from the hall with a happy face, Emperor Chongzhen's attention couldn't help but turn to the ongoing share auction, I don't know how it went?

This is actually a demonstration meeting, and many things will be based on this in the future. This model can bind some powerful people as much as possible, which is why the shares should come one by one. In addition, it can mobilize private funds, at least for Daming at this time, it is an easy way to do things.

He turned his head to look at the sky, it had been two hours, it was time for lunch, there should be news anyway, right?

Just thinking about this, I saw an attendant enter the hall excitedly and say, "Your Majesty, only 10,000 shares were auctioned at the auction, and 300,000 taels of silver have been obtained, nearly 321 shares." ”

Between the words, there are surprises all over the place, thirty-two and one, it's really valuable!

Who knew that when Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately shook his head and said dissatisfied: "Why is it only thirty taels?" How many people bought those 10,000 shares? ”

When the chamberlain heard this, he thought about it for a while, and immediately replied, "Back to Your Majesty, there are about twenty people." ”

That is to say, a person auctioned 500 shares, and the upper limit of individual shareholding stipulated at that time, how did they do it?

Suddenly, Emperor Chongzhen understood that this first auction was really a mistake! These most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty sat there and looked down, who dared not to sell face to them?

This is a cheap sale of state-owned assets!

Thinking about it like this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little unhappy! You use your power to take advantage. Yes, in this Ming world, is there anyone more powerful than himself?

So, Emperor Chongzhen immediately ordered: "Drafting, the auction of shares is a major matter of the country, how can it be so hasty." The Ministry of Household Affairs is reorganized and auctioned according to my charter! ”

In fact, in the previous auction, Bi Ziyan, the head of the household, had already come to ask for a decree, and Emperor Chongzhen didn't think so much about it at that time, so he carried out it in accordance with the method of private auction that Bi Ziyan had heard about, and did not interfere much.

Now he doesn't admit it, he ordered it to be carried out again, and threw the pot to the household department, no one can say anything, after all, there was no clear order before, and it was all handled by the household department.

In this way, a will went down, and everyone at the auction site was dumbfounded. Especially those who were satisfied and had already won the shares first, they were a little anxious, they didn't dare to scold the emperor, so they shouted at the people in the household.

Hubu Shangshu Bi Ziyan was annoyed by them, so he directly went up: "If you don't want shares, you can leave at any time, and if you want shares, wait quietly, and the official will immediately enter the palace to ask for a decree, according to His Majesty's will." Whoever has an opinion will go to His Majesty, and the impeachment of this official will also be completed, and this official will not be accompanied now! ”

After finishing speaking, he shook his hand and left on the spot, leaving behind a group of powerful people who looked at each other.
