Daming: Let you build roads, you have access to highways throughout the country

Chapter 116: Opening the Mechanical Age!!!

Daming opened the land for the first time, with remarkable achievements, and also had a far-reaching impact on the subsequent development of Daming.

The first to bear the brunt was the court, which no longer only focused on the hostile forces on the land of the south and north, but also began to turn overseas.

This played a catalytic acceleration role for the arrival of the Ming Age of Exploration, and among them, the greatest credit is naturally His Royal Highness King of Qi, Zhu Rong.

At present, the impact is also very profound.

First of all, after the next dynasty, the ministers began to gather in groups of three or five, discussing the first land reclamation of the Daming dynasty.

Not counting other jewels, calligraphy and paintings, as well as the bronze ware brought back by the fleet, there are as many as 30,000 taels of real money and silver obtained.

This windfall completely impressed these imperial court officials!

You know, when they were opposed, they were also the most cheerful by these officials!

And now even the crown prince Zhu Biao and the imperial master Li Shanchang are already red-eyed.

“Your Royal Highness, this land reclamation seems to be quite money!”

Li Shanchang couldn’t help but lick his lips.

Prince Zhu Biao smiled and said, “Taishi is moved? ”

Li Shanchang smiled and said, “Isn’t the prince impressed?!” ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Li Shanchang said: “Prince, when I go home, I will arrange for people to go to the shipyard to purchase ships, and next time, I will definitely send some people over to clear the land together.” ”

Prince Zhu Biao laughed and said, “Master Tai and I want to go together!” ”

The two walked hand in hand and laughed loudly.

Money comes so quickly, who doesn’t want to meddle?!

In today’s Daming Dynasty, the top of society is undoubtedly the imperial court official, but the treatment of imperial court officials is really not good for the Daming court institution.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s requirements for officials can be described as extremely harsh, but Feng Lu is pitiful, and he still distributes large 313 Ming treasure banknotes at every turn.

There are many corrupt officials in successive dynasties, or there are many clean officials, it goes without saying, there is really a clear conscience, from beginning to end, how many clean and honest people have lived?

Who has no selfish intentions, who does not have a large family to feed, who does not have a large group of subordinates to feed?

Who doesn’t need to hit their boss?

But all of this requires money!

Pointing at that point, how is it possible?

As a result, all kinds of corruption and bribery also came into being.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed batch after batch, but he was repeatedly banned.

Now, however, a new opportunity has emerged, an opportunity to obtain windfall wealth without risking murder or taking bribes!

That is to participate in the mighty land reclamation operation!

Compared with ordinary people, officials have an inherent advantage, they have more domestic servants, and some even have commercial caravans in private, more people can command, and they are more organized and efficient.

And for the imperial relatives, not to mention, they have more resources, and they can build better ships and bring more manpower at will.

This is a big bet that everyone can participate in, and the probability of winning the bet is very high.

It is even more disadvantageous for officials, because they do not need to come forward at all, they only need to send their subordinates to participate in the operation.

After paying the taxes that should be paid to the imperial court, the rest is your own!

Therefore, these ministers who opposed the land reclamation at the beginning and called the happiest are about to become the mainstay of the second land reclamation!

Their power will far surpass that of ordinary merchants and landlords.

After returning to the next court, he didn’t even have time to take off his official uniform, so he immediately called his domestic servants, built or purchased ships, and prepared to follow the next group of wasteland clearing teams to Sakuragi Island.

This is a result that Zhu Rong himself did not imagine.

At the beginning, he proposed this to Zhu Yuanzhang, but it was blocked by all the ministers in the court, and the crown prince Zhu Biao and the imperial master Li Shanchang took the lead to stop it!

Now, one by one, everyone is getting more and more excited, and everyone is ready to do a big job.

When the news reached Qingzhou City, Zhu Rong and Princess Wu Yan were hiding at home counting silver.

Inside King Qi’s mansion, the gold, silver and various valuable items brought back from Sakuragi Island are placed in a large open space paved with bluestone slabs, and the final inventory and estimation are being carried out.

Gold and silver and the like are relatively easy to count, a total of 500,000 taels.

Some jade, calligraphy and paintings, etc., took a lot of effort, and finally counted, almost a total of 700,000 taels.

The princess immediately smiled.

The Qi Royal Mansion brought a lot of manpower this time, and the gains were a lot, coupled with the operation of commercial ships, which maximized the benefits of this land reclamation trip.

Zhu Rong and Princess Wu Yan sat in the open space of the bluestone slab, basking in the sun and eating fruit.

Princess Wu Yan said while eating grapes: “Wang Ye, I have looted a lot of wealth in the first few times, will it be less and less in the future?” ”

Zhu Rong shook his head and said with a smile: “Where is this, now it is only a coastal area, moreover, it has not affected all areas, not to mention, that island, hum, but there is a huge silver mine!”

It is even bigger than all the silver mines of our Daming Dynasty combined! ”

Princess Wu Yan’s eyes suddenly widened.

“Such a small place, and such a big silver mine?”

Zhu Rong held Princess Wu Yan’s hand and said: “That’s right, this is the largest silver mine in the world, don’t say let’s rob it, even if we occupy this silver mine, we can’t finish digging it in 10 years and 8 years.” ”

The princess’s eyes were suddenly full of little stars.

And this silver mine will also push the Ming Dynasty to continue to open up the land until the wealth of the entire island is drained.

A few days later, Ying Tianfu’s eyeliner returned.

“Your Highness, I heard that the crown prince and the imperial master have also sent people to build ships and prepare to participate in the next land reclamation.”

The businessman dressed up with eyeliner and said to Zhu Rong with a smile.

Princess Wu Yan pouted: “At the beginning, I remember that it seemed that His Royal Highness the crown prince and the imperial master took the lead and resisted the death to oppose it.” Why, now without regard to the face of the Daming, without regard to the law and morality, regardless of how the history books are written? ”

The businessman’s eyeliner dressed up just smiled coyly, where dare to answer.

Zhu Rong waved his hand, this eyeliner retreated, and after a while, a messenger from Zhu Di, the king of Yan, came to the palace of King Qi.

“Your Royal Highness King Qi, this is King Yan, the letter brought by the villain, please take a look!”

Zhu Rong took it, took it apart at random, glanced at it a few times, and couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

In the letter, Zhu Di first reminisced about the old days, saying that the brothers had not seen each other for a long time, and when they had the opportunity in the future, they would definitely get drunk and clouds, and said that the brothers would kiss when they were young, and he had long seen Zhu Rong extraordinary, and he was smart when he was young.

Then, the conversation turned, I wanted to buy a few commercial ferries from Zhu Rong!

Well, the fourth brother in the north is also moved!

“The fourth brother wants to buy a few commercial ferries from our Qi Wangfu.”

Zhu Rong put away the letter and asked Princess Wu Yan to put it away.

Wu Yan snorted and laughed: “Your Royal Highness King Yan, aren’t you fighting against the Northern Yuan in the north?” And Kung Fu meddling in the matter of land reclamation?! ”

Zhu Rong exhaled a cloudy breath: “The wealth is moving, no matter how busy the fourth brother is, he can’t avoid vulgarity.” ”

Soon, the King of Jin also sent messengers.

Well, it seems to have discussed with Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and the tone is the same, and it is all kinds of praise for Zhu Rong!

Then, it is necessary to purchase a commercial ferry from the Qi Palace, and it must be prepared before the second land reclamation.

Wang Fu Wu Yan pouted: “We ourselves are not enough, it seems that there are more people who have opened the land this second time than the first time.” Sell it to them, don’t we earn less?! ”

Zhu Rong held Wu Yan’s hand and said with a smile: “When my brother’s all speak, how can I refuse to start/hair, Yu, Qun 9; 8″0？ 2ュ0,@5ヘ8?5♀6 absolutely? This time, make less money. ”

Wu Yan nodded helplessly and agreed: “Fortunately, our shipbuilding workshop can still make a lot of money, it’s just that, eat some losses, just suffer some losses.” ”

The two of them have not finished talking, yes, the messenger of Prince Zhu Biao has also arrived!

Well, come to yourself for help!

Zhu Rong has long known that once the land reclamation is unfolded, it is impossible to stop in a short period of time, and no one will remain unmoved in the face of huge interests.

The emperor was moved, not to mention the imperial relatives below, as well as hundreds of civil and military officials, and these top officials and dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty were moved, and the landlords and merchants below, ordinary people would only flock to it.

For a time, the Daming Dynasty launched a mighty shipbuilding business, after all, their own ship, as many things as they want to bring back, can bring back as many things back.

If you take a commercial ship from the Qi Palace, there are many restrictions, and all kinds of large objects are not allowed on board at all.

Just when the Daming Dynasty was boiling, the Wu Kou along the southeast coast also received news one after another.

“What? The Daming water army took tens of thousands of people and ran to our cherry wood native to plunder? ”

The news spread quickly among the Uighurs, and all the Uighurs were confused.

These people are relatively mature, and they do not go back every year, and many people float at sea all year round, because the time and energy required for a round trip are very large.

Sometimes, you may be buried in the sea.

Many of them have become professional and have been wandering around the southeast coast all year round!

Before, there was news that the Daming water army hit their doorstep, but this news was directly regarded as a joke, and no one believed it at all!

What kind of joke, the level of the Daming water army, they still don’t know?

Almost every day they deal with the Daming Water Army, if they can hit their own homeland, as for letting these people wreak havoc for so many years?!

Now, however, it seems that the news is unmistakable.

The Daming Dynasty not only sent the Daming water army to run to its own lair, but also took tens of thousands of people to participate together, plundered everywhere, and did not capture any city, after grabbing a place, it then changed places, and the robbery was almost over, and it was directly loaded into ships and left.

It’s even more bandit than himself!

“Kojiro, go home and take a look, I heard that your family has all been hacked to death!”

“Tian Benjun, go home and take a look, I heard that your house was also raided, and the little golden Buddha was snatched away.”

One news spread among the Uighurs.

The Wu Kou directly panicked, they were in the southeast coastal area, the one who robbed was called a Huan, however, they never expected that they were robbing here, and the Daming Dynasty actually sent a large army of soldiers and tens of thousands of people to run to their own lair to rob!

His own nest was served, and he actually knows it now!
