So, a large group of Huaixi nobles gathered in the Liangguo Mansion again, and they discussed how to drink soup behind the butt of King Su Zhu Ao!
But how could the actions of these guys be hidden from Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes?
Whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Biao, even in the palace, they know Lan Yu's movements well!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of stopping it, but planned to wait and see!
In fact, if Lan Yu and their Huaixi nobles can really have interests with Lao Fourteen, and even close the relationship between them, it is something that Zhu Yuanzhang is happy to see!
And Zhu Yuanzhang also believes that with the means of the old fourteen, it is actually very simple to take advantage of the Lan Yu gang! "Dad, the people who need to build the road really have to recruit hundreds of thousands?"
"The monthly money of 800 wen per person per month is not a small amount, and you have to include a meal!".
Although Zhu Biao supported the construction of the road, he was taken aback by the plan formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, mainly because this stroke was a little too big and needed too much silver!
For example, 100,000 people, for 24 months, you have to send out 80,000 taels of silver just for monthly money!
That's 800,000 taels a year!
And that's just the wages of the people!
In other words, wages alone will cost millions of taels a year, which is still a conservative estimate! In addition, there are various expenses, as well as other road construction costs, especially cement!
According to rough statistics, it will cost at least more than three million taels of silver a year, and it is only the road from Ganzhou to Yingtianfu!
"What's all the fuss about?"
"The cost of building the road is there!"
"What is the difference between 100,000 people building for a year and 10,000 people building for 10 years?"
"We just want to be able to repair the cement road as soon as possible, and the money spent on building the road can be earned back quickly!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled disapprenousively.
He thought that when he was ready to set off for Ganzhou, the cement road from Yingtianfu to Ganzhou Mansion should be almost repaired, even if it was not fully repaired!
Of course, it is not simply for the sake of making it more convenient for oneself to travel! Repairing the cement road as soon as possible is of great significance for economic development and transportation! The same is true for the military! Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did this after careful consideration!
Recruiting hundreds of thousands of people seems to be very costly, but it shortens the construction period, but it is a more economical way!
On the contrary, the construction of roads is slow, and the manpower, material and financial resources spent will increase accordingly, and there is no guarantee that there will be any changes!
Zhu Biao was also stunned when he heard this, but after thinking carefully about the old man's words, he also reacted and felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with this investment!
Otherwise, how can you say that ginger is still old and spicy!
......
Ganzhou, Suwangfu.
Zhu Ao looked at the letter just sent by the imperial court, and a smile appeared on his face! The old man had sent him a letter before, and communicated about the construction of cement roads, but Zhu Ao bluntly said that he could afford to build cement roads in the northwest, and if other regions wanted to build cement roads, they could only pay for the local vassal kings or the imperial court themselves!
He thought that the old man would think twice about it, and it would take a long time to determine it, but he didn't expect to reply so soon!
And the household department actually happily allocated funds directly! Along with the old man's letter, there was also the silver that the household department let people escort over!
"It seems that the business of refined salt, coupled with the salt merchant tax of Daming, has already made the old man taste the sweetness! The treasury should not be short of money now!"
Zhu Ao thought about it, and probably understood why the old man was so happy!
In fact, in the finances of the imperial court, the biggest annual expense has always been the cost of building the Great Wall! In fact, most of the magnificent Great Wall in later generations was the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and in the nearly 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, the construction of the Great Wall basically never stopped! In fact, in Zhu Ao's view, this is a complete waste!
He has a way to clear Mobei, so if he becomes the emperor, it is impossible to build this Great Wall!
With that kung fu, he raised a little more lonely army, and the effect was greater than that of the Great Wall, and he didn't need to spend so much money!
In terms of architecture, the Ming Dynasty is indeed the most powerful country in the world during this period, such as Ying Tianfu as the Ming Dynasty Jingshi, inside and outside are like copper walls and iron walls! This also benefits from Zhu Yuanzhang's strict requirements for craftsmen!
In terms of construction projects, at least under the nose of the old man, no one dares to make any small moves!
"Now, at least the road construction can continue!"
Zhu Ao looked at the letter sent by Zhu Yuanzhang again, and his mood was also very good! However, according to the number of people recruited by the old man, as well as the monthly wage price and treatment offered, it seems that he would like to be able to repair the cement road as soon as possible! At least the cement road between Ganzhou Mansion and Yingtianfu will not have any problems!
If it's fast, it doesn't even take a year! In ten days, hundreds of thousands of people have been gathered, and naturally it is not more than 100,000 people to build a cement road in the same place!
The cement road can be built in sections, and it is connected from end to end, and the speed is the fastest! A team of more than 100,000 people, the construction speed is naturally not slow! It is not surprising that it can be completed in more than half a year!
After all, it is also paved on the basis of the original official road, and there is no too cumbersome big project, such as what kind of digging roads and the like, there should not be much 073!
This also greatly accelerates the laying of cement roads!
In general, Zhu Yuanzhang is also copying Zhu Ao's Ganzhou model! Like this kind of thing, he Lao Zhu can't think of what to do, anyway, just copy the homework! Don't you see that all the vassal kings are copying this homework?
is arrogant like the character of the fourth child, and he is also copying!
But the incense is also really fragrant, even if it is not as good as Ganzhou, but it can also make everyone taste the sweetness obviously, which shows that the old fourteen is terrible! In fact, this is also inevitable!
The main reason is that Zhu Ao's series of reforms and policies have indeed played a tremendous role in promoting the economy and the people's livelihood! In ancient times, ordinary people basically had no source of income, and if they wanted to live, they still relied more on the one-third of an acre of land they planted!
It's okay if you have a field at home, but if you are a tenant farmer and meet a black-hearted owner, even if it is a bumper harvest all year round, it will be a problem whether you can eat enough!
Unlike modern society, even if you haven't read a book, you can still go to work as a waiter in a restaurant, work screws in a factory, and have a lot of industries to eat and live, as long as your hands and feet are sound and you are willing to work hard, you will definitely not starve to death! But it was different in the Ming Dynasty!
For example, the work of food and accommodation is only available in consumption places like restaurants!.
