Sure enough, what Zhu Yuanzhang paid most attention to was money.
Zhu Han smiled bitterly and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, our Ming Dynasty is not short of copper now, and under the current conditions, only copper wire can meet the standard of communication."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang understood everything, he still couldn't hide his discomfort when he thought that the copper used to make copper coins was used like this.
How did Zhu Han comfort him?
There is no way to comfort him.
He'll get used to it from now on.
"Brother, this machine is called a talking machine now, but in the future... I plan to call it a telephone."
Zhu Han directly used the name of later generations and explained to him: "With this kind of thing, we can make long-distance calls with electrical signals."
"What do you mean?"
Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his incomprehension, "Electricity? What is it... Qiwu, you don't mean the kind of thunder and lightning on rainy days, do you?"
In Zhu Han's words: Civil servants and military generals can represent the height of the Ming Dynasty, people who farm the land can solidify the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and industry and commerce can give the Ming Dynasty two legs to run forward.
Zhu Yuanzhang became silent after seeing Zhu Han say something, and he immediately guessed what Zhu Han was thinking.
It's just that this method is not easy to think of.
"There are people around Biao'er. Many scribes and generals have gathered around Biao'er. Our old brothers are all very arrogant. If Biao'er wants to be emperor, he must convince these people. Now we are still here,
If Biao'er doesn't handle it well, we can still give him some assurances, which can be considered as giving him some experience and lessons so that he won't fall into a big hole again."
Hearing the worry revealed in Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Han smiled and said to him: "Brother, it is not as dangerous as you thought. The environment we are in is nature, and we are also part of nature. There are many things in nature.
Things need to be studied by us, such as the gold, silver, and iron we use. These are gifts from nature to us, and we must find ways to make use of them."
"Yes, it's that kind of electricity."
Getting closer, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that this was not just a 'house', but there were several connected behind it.
Zhu Han saw the color on Zhu Yuanzhang's face change and explained to him: "Brother, that kind of electrical load is too big for us to use, but as long as we master the method of changing the current, we can use electricity.
"
…
On the matter of curbing land annexation, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the same front.
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's concern, Zhu Han choked on his words, but still said very seriously: "Brother, there is indeed some danger, but not much. At this stage, I can still control it. Don't worry, brother, I
There are still a lot of unfinished things, but don’t let the small lose the big.”
"Qiwu, is what you are doing dangerous?"
Zhu Biao is not young anymore, and he can handle many things. And just like in history, Zhu Yuanzhang placed great hopes on Zhu Biao, and gave Zhu Biao all the civil servants and generals who fought with him to conquer the world.
, In other words, if Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhu Biao could control the court, he could become the Supreme Emperor and leave the Ming Dynasty to Zhu Biao to manage.
Zhu Yuanzhang believed what Zhu Han said, but he didn't completely believe it. He felt that Zhu Han had downplayed the dangers encountered in the research, but he just didn't want to worry himself too much: "Qiwu, is it really not that dangerous?"
Since you can't be persuaded, you won't be persuaded, but you still need to be warned: "Qi Wu, you must be careful. We would rather develop slower than get you hurt."
"train!"
Something as big as a house moving on railroad tracks?
Zhu Yuanzhang felt it was unrealistic: "How many horses are needed to move this?"
The civil servants and military generals have high enough social status, and the people do not have high demands. They only need a peaceful farming environment. The Ming Dynasty led the businessmen to expand their business all over the world, but the craftsmen did not receive the benefits commensurate with their contributions.
status.
"Yes, Qi Wu is right."
We survived the strong winds and waves, but we didn't die during the battle.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What can be done? Anyway, we can't think of it."
If not, then go home.
At the end of the railway track, there was a huge creature that Zhu Yuanzhang had never seen before...
After becoming successful and famous, they became arrogant and did not pay attention to the legal system of the Ming Dynasty.
"If we wait a little longer, we will definitely see the communication spread throughout the Ming Dynasty."
Such powerful thunder and lightning is more terrifying than gunpowder in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion...
No need to ask, it must have been done by those heroes who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world, especially the first group of generals who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world. They were all from ordinary people and had not read many books.
Zhu Han heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, nodded and said: "It is true that as my brother said, gold and silver should be used as rewards. After all, our Ming Dynasty's titles are not given just as they are asked. There are only so many titles. There are more wolves and less meat. It is not as good as
It’s a real gift of gold and silver.”
In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, the people of the Ming Dynasty are the first priority. The generals who follow him to conquer the world, especially many generals are Zhu Yuanzhang's playmates when he was a child. If they touch the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang may still be lenient.
, but once it touches Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line, sorry...it won't be easy for anyone!
Moreover, what is Zhu Han studying now?
It's electricity!
Arriving outside the city, Zhu Yuanzhang saw two railway tracks, which were padded with hardwood and paved with stones.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not want Zhu Han to encounter danger during his research.
Zhu Han told the truth about the actual situation, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel relieved. The two then began to discuss other things: "Qiwu, can this intercom be connected to Yinzhou?"
Thinking that the things that changed the Ming Dynasty came from the craftsmen's camp, Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of craftsmen became even higher. In the past, during the Ming Dynasty, military generals immediately conquered the world, civilian officials dismounted and ruled the world, and the people faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky.
To live, these are enough.
"Worried, but not particularly worried."
Zhu Yuanzhang was very curious and followed Zhu Han outside.
Zhu Yuanzhang was curious: "What is this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang cannot live without Zhu Han, just like the world cannot live without the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Similar to the telephone, it is a tool that can change the ecological environment of Ming Dynasty. Brother, do you want to take a look?"
"have."
Not to mention, this is really a good idea.
"Don't you always say that only when you are under pressure can you be motivated."
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, it is more like a house.
After a pause, Zhu Han continued:
He thought that once the intercom came out, he would be able to connect the entire Ming Dynasty together.
Now, in order to study a lightning that caused death, Zhu Yuanzhang could not accept it in any case.
However, when it comes to family and country matters, just silence is useless. When it is time to face it, you still have to face it: "Qiwu, are you worried that after I kill the old brothers, it will alienate people?"
"Brother, land annexation is an insurmountable red line and an iron law that must not be touched."
"It's just that we can't do it for the time being, but it's not that we can't do it in the future."
If nothing else, let’s talk about gunpowder.
"Biao'er?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was very confident, mainly because Zhu Han told him these things, and Zhu Han was doing it. Zhu Han had created many surprises for him before, so Zhu Yuanzhang had reason to believe that this time would be no exception.
:
"big guy?"
After a pause, Zhu Han continued: "Brother, this gold and silver can be given, but the land cannot be given. Now that the population of our Ming Dynasty is increasing, the land under our feet is not enough."
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce all took advantage of it, which was enough for the Ming Dynasty to achieve great leaps in development.
"Brother, even if we have to do this, you can't do it."
However, Zhu Yuanzhang cannot be left to do it.
The house is on the railroad tracks and there is a round wheel.
It was getting late. As the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang had to go back to the palace as much as possible. When he saw the phone, he was very satisfied, but he still asked: "Are there any other inventions?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart has been attracted by Zhu Han, how can he go back?
"Now that you're here, let's finish reading before leaving."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.
"..."
At the mention of these four words, Zhu Han's eyebrows couldn't help but jump.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, the destructive power of gunpowder can destroy the world. People have no chance to resist in the face of gunpowder. However, this dangerous weapon is man-made, and Zhu Han is leading the development of it.
At work, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not worry about Zhu Han's safety?
After finishing speaking, Zhu Han paused and said deliberately: "But it's too late, how about we watch it tomorrow?"
"It's good to know."
Now the Ming Dynasty still has Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han. With these two around, Zhu Biao has the cost of trial and error.
Zhu Yuanzhang had heard more than once when he was a child that thunder and lightning can kill people, and after many years of marching and fighting, Zhu Yuanzhang also saw with his own eyes a giant tree split into two pieces by lightning.
He wanted to persuade Zhu Han not to do these things, but thinking of Zhu Han's character, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was in vain to persuade Zhu Han no matter what.
Zhu Han told the truth and said: "Those people need to be dealt with, but they don't have to be killed or exiled. Can we find a better way to solve them?"
Besides, Zhu Han said that the tool he didn't see was as magical as the telephone, so he naturally had more expectations in his heart.
Speaking of this now, Zhu Yuanzhang would not understand: "Brother, this is a very magical science. Electricity is indeed terrible, but it is not uncontrollable. We can master the method of using it... Just like gunpowder, we can create
If you come out, you can change the world."
Regarding what Zhu Han said, Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly: He understood every word Zhu Han said, but when they were put together, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what they meant.
This matter...has to be done.
But, what now?
Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Han no longer worried. Since Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Zhu Biao to practice, he might as well let him try.
The appearance of Zhu Han activated two other attributes: industry and commerce.
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something, and said to Zhu Han: "There is something that we didn't worry about at the time, but now we see it. Some guys started to occupy and annex land based on their merits for the Ming Dynasty.
We will find an opportunity to deal with them."
"These craftsmen worked hard for our Ming Dynasty and even risked their lives to conduct research. How can their achievements be measured only by their titles?"
"Theoretically, it's possible, but now our capabilities don't meet this requirement. As you can see, brother, this kind of research currently exists in the theoretical stage. Even from Jishou to Yingtianfu, it can't be done. How can it be done like this?
Far?"
After thinking about it, Zhu Han came up with a good idea. He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked:
When delivering information, there is no need to rush eight hundred miles away, the message can reach your ears in an instant.
"Brother, what we see is a locomotive, and there is another one at the back. One is pulling force, and the other is pushing force, pushing the train to move on the rails."
This is what Zhu Han said, can it change the Ming Dynasty? No matter how you look at it, you don’t think so.
"Brother, the train does not need horses to pull it, nor does it need manpower, but...power!"
"Brother, what do you think about letting Biao'er do this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said to Zhu Han: "On July 5th, I came here to see the contribution of the craftsmen here to the Ming Dynasty. They have made so many contributions, how can they only be measured by titles? We are going to give them titles.
At the same time, we also gave them gold and silver to encourage their contributions to the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Han also cursed in his heart: "Why don't these generals have any brains until now? The civil servants have followed the Ming Dynasty's caravans to do business, and you are still thinking about that one-third of an acre of land? What a brainless thing!"
However, the ones in the middle are all ordinary rectangular parallelepipeds, and the front and rear ends are 'houses' with chimneys.
Land annexation?
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Zhu Han had given him a good idea, and he extended his thumb to indicate that Zhu Han had given him a good idea. However, Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, if you throw a hot potato to Biao'er, it will not put any pressure on him."
Small."
However, the method of dealing with the problem is questionable.
Zhu Han saw Zhu Yuanzhang's determination and thought of a way to solve the matter.
Zhu Han answered immediately and then said to him:
"Then let's go outside the city."
Zhu Han said with a smile, "This time, let's go see a big guy."
Zhu Yuanzhang said nonchalantly, "If Biao'er can't even do this well, how can he be the prince? When we were at war, and what you are doing now, which one is not more dangerous than what Biao'er is doing?"
Thinking of what Zhu Han said before, allowing craftsmen to obtain titles, Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought that just giving them a title would be enough, but now it seems... it's not enough.
Zhu Han led Zhu Yuanzhang towards the front of the car, explaining as he walked:
"This car uses fire to boil water, and then uses the steam generated by the boiling water to push the train forward."
What Zhu Han said was very simple, but Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't believe it.
Zhu Yuanzhang had also heard the story of water dripping through stone, but it was day after day, year after year, but now Zhu Han said that boiling water can push things bigger than a house forward, which made Zhu Yuanzhang find it incredible.
