Zhu Jianji buried his head in writing quickly, writing and drawing for a while, then picked up the floor plan of the East Palace from the side and carefully compared it. He had no intention of chatting with Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu looked helpless.
Standing by the window and looking at the wooden stakes erected in the yard, I couldn't help but feel curious, and asked: "You bastard, tell me the truth, what are you going to do?"
Zhu Jianji didn't even raise his head, "Make money!"
Zhu Qiyu didn't believe it, "Can this thing you are toying with in the East Palace make money?"
Zhu Jianji agreed and continued to modify the line diagram of the main line circuit of the East Palace and the branch line diagrams of each room. He said: "I thought about it. It may be a bit difficult to promote the development of the power system from the national level. The main reason is that it is difficult to fund all at once.
It’s in place, because our Ming Dynasty is really too poor. Now that we have opened up the sea, we do have some money, but there are too many places where we need to spend money. Among other things, this year the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is promoting sweet potato cultivation, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has already
More than two million taels have been allocated. In addition, Yu Shaobao submitted a letter that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry should jointly establish a national military research institute to be responsible for updating and equipping the armies of the Ming Dynasty with firearms. I agree with this view, and this step is also
What must be done is for the country to come forward to push the entire Ming Dynasty Army into the age of firearms. It is more direct and effective than having my young army in the East Palace to enter the age of firearms. It also saves time. I can save a lot of effort, so I
We asked the Donggong Military Research Institute to cooperate in transferring the technology to the National Military Research Institute, and allocated 30 million taels of the money brought back from Taiwan to the National Military Research Institute. I remember that this matter was decided at the last court meeting, and the Ministry of Household Affairs
Appropriations have also been allocated, don’t you know that?”
Zhu Qiyu nodded, "Of course I know this, but you don't know. When you said that the East Palace was willing to invest 30 million taels to support the National Military Research Institute to equip the Ming Dynasty's army with Dongfeng firearms, the civil and military people in the hall looked at you with such respect. I
This father feels so proud!"
It does have face!
After the matter was settled, the imperial desk in Qianqing Palace was almost covered with letters praising his son in those days, and Zhu Qiyu did not miss a single letter.
I read every letter carefully.
It makes you feel comfortable all over.
He now felt the pride of an old father that Taizu had when Prince Yiwen and Zhu Biao were in charge.
Zhu Jianji said angrily: "Oh shit, what's the use of having such a face? I'd rather have money in the treasury. As soon as Yu Shaobao's operation came out, my east palace was emptied. I originally planned to have a big baby after the child was born."
We have to save some money to have a wedding. Originally this year, Lu Huan had to have a special event, but now we have to have a simple ceremony. After all, it is not easy to make money."
Zhu Qiyu said angrily: "You still have a father!"
I'll get you some money.
Zhu Jianji didn't even raise his head, "It's useless. It's just the little money you have in the inner transport warehouse. It's better to keep it for yourself. The expenses of my East Palace are not big at all, but your inner transport warehouse is responsible for the entire harem of the imperial city."
Regarding expenses, the Imperial Grandmother is already very considerate of you. She hasn’t given birth to a college student for several years, right? The Queen Mother is also giving you ideas to save money. It would be better for you to spend the saved money on the Jiaofangsi woman!"
I hate that iron cannot become steel.
Zhu Qiyu was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "Can you make money now?"
Zhu Jianji hummed, "I'm doing this now, making money is secondary. In fact, the main thing is to do an image project, that is, the night view project of the entire Ming Dynasty Gyeonggi. If the state paid for it, I don't think it would cost more than 30 to 50 million yuan." It won’t go down, but through my operation method, I may only spend less than 10 million in the end. The key is to make money continuously with energy, and finally connect the dots to form a piece, and build Gyeonggi into a city that never sleeps. Finally, with Gyeonggi, We will take Nanjing and other places as a starting point and promote it in big cities across the country.”
Zhu Qiyu said: "How to say?"
Zhu Jianji put down his pen and the route map of the East Palace was basically designed.
Next are Shoukang Palace and Kunning Palace.
Not counting Qianqing Palace.
Let Lao Zhu continue to live in vain.
Zhu Jianji said: "You will know after a while. Anyway, as far as the East Palace is concerned, I sell it to the powerful and wealthy, and asking them for 20,000 taels of silver is not excessive at all."
The entire Ming Dynasty included powerful and wealthy merchants, plus the vassal kings from various places, and finally foreign royal families and dignitaries. The market was very large.
Selling hundreds or thousands of units is no problem at all.
This is an income of tens of millions taels.
And once the regional power system is established, electricity bills will provide a steady stream of income.
How could Zhu Qiyu believe it?
How dare you sell a wooden pile like this with no apparent use for 20,000 taels?
Do you think those local tycoons and wealthy businessmen are fools?
Let’s get down to business first and said: “The Torgut tribe is requesting to move to the Hetao area again.”
Zhu Jianji raised his head and fell into deep thought.
This is a big deal.
With the successful experience of the Uighur tribe in the Hami region, and the historical loyalty of the Turghut tribe in returning to the east, although the Hetao area is very important to the Ming Dynasty, it can be a big gamble.
There is no harm in handing over the Hetao area to the Torgut Department.
I didn't dare to do it before.
I am afraid that the Turgut tribe and the Mongolian tribes outside the pass will unite. When the gate of the Hetao area is opened, the Mongolian cavalry will be able to bypass Xuanfu and Datong and drive straight into Shanxi.
It doesn't matter now.
The problems with Dongfeng rifles have been improved, and the Donggong Military Research Institute is working overtime to produce the second-generation Dongfeng rifles.
Even if the Torgut tribe finally rebelled and the Hetao area fell instantly, it would not threaten the Ming Dynasty.
Said: "That's right."
He added: "In this way, the Hetao area can be given over to the Turgut tribe for residence, but the military strength of the guards in this area and surrounding areas must still be dominated by the Ming Dynasty army. It cannot be ordinary border troops, but must be the Ming Dynasty elite. I decree Give priority to the National Military Research Institute, jointly run by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, to equip the Hetao area and surrounding guard stations with Dongfeng rifles!"
The Hetao area can be accommodated by the Torgut tribe.
But the military must be controlled by Ming Dynasty.
He continued: "The same is true in the Hami area. The current guards in the Hami area are all Uighurs. They are a bit like the Duoyan Three Guards back then, but they all have the temperament of being a mother if they have breasts, so our Ming Dynasty army still needs to increase its strength. For the military control of these areas, now that firearms have developed, the demand for troops has decreased. The Hetao area and the Hami area can each maintain 10,000 Ming Dynasty armies equipped with Dongfeng rifles. Tomorrow, you will issue a decree to the National Military Research Institute, Let it be implemented within this year.”
Zhu Qiyu said: "Okay, I will let Yu Shaobao implement it tomorrow."
Then he asked: "Annan, do you want to put some pressure on Li Sicheng?"
Zhu Jianji said: "Of course. It's best if the Baozong can defeat Li Sicheng. Then we can go directly to take over Annan. Li Sicheng also knows that in order to resist foreign aggression, he must first pacify the interior, so he plans to defeat the Baozong with all his strength. We can't let him succeed. I I promised to give Han Shuiping the Dongfeng rifle. It happened that the young army was going to be equipped with new ones. I sent him the old ones. How to send them was a question. Baozong couldn't let Baozong doubt Han Shuiping, and our Ming Dynasty couldn't support Baozong openly. , we have to find a way to sell the Dongfeng rifle to Baozong from the black market."
It can be considered as making a lot of money.
Zhu Qiyu was shocked and said, "Baozong has the Dongfeng Rifle, we will accept the stupid Annan in the future!"
Never agree.
Zhu Jianji chuckled, "Do you know what generation difference is?"
As soon as the new Dongfeng rifles came out, the old ones were eliminated. Even if Baozong's Huilong camp were all equipped with old Dongfeng rifles, they would not pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty.
But it is a huge threat to Annan!
This military aid must be successfully implemented. Only in this way can Baozong be able to unify Annan.
