Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian laughed and said:

“This is easy to solve, but according to statistics from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, we have only mobilized 300 million of the refugees who have poured into the country.

There are still more than 2000 million people who can be mobilized.

After all, winter is coming, and relying solely on the court's relief...

When a blizzard comes, countless people may freeze to death.

Calling them to work, although ten coppers a day is not much, it can still buy a few pieces of clothing to keep out the cold.

For the people, this is a benevolent policy.

The manpower problem and the blast furnace iron-making problem can be solved as long as you are willing to spend money. "

Zhu Youjian pointed at Fang Zhenghua:

"Don't worry about money. I plan to spend all the money I brought back within a year!"

"As the saying goes, don't build without destroying. Using massive infrastructure to improve people's livelihood is the best way to deal with natural disasters!"

"Even if we run out of money..."

Zhu Youjian pointed at Fang Zhenghua and laughed:

"Are you going to let Lao Fang grab it again?

If that doesn't work, send him a ship!

The wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have no money, but the red-haired barbarians still have money!

Just grab it, what a big deal! "

When Zhu Youjian said this, everyone laughed.

Although the ministers were a little reluctant to see His Majesty the Emperor spending such a huge amount of money in just one year.

However, this money belonged to the emperor's internal funds.

Even if they, the courtiers, want to stop it, they can't find a reason!

Besides...

The more your Majesty spends, the better!

The money that goes out from the internal funds will eventually go to the people, and when the time comes, the court will receive taxes.

That’s money that goes into the treasury!

"As for the issue of people protecting their land..."

Zhu Youjian smiled and pointed to Zhu Yujian, who was standing aside with a smile on his lips:

"When Da Zong was clearing out the land occupied by the gentry, I have already taken back the cleared fields and exchanged them with them!"

Chen Qiyu said:

"Your Majesty, this road is so long that it must pass through many villages, not to mention how to resettle the relocated people.

The number of tombs along the way is quite large.

These two issues also need to be considered. "

Zhu Youjian nodded:

“Then mobilize another group of people, set up a construction team, and let them build the new village.

As long as the people who need to be demolished are given courtyards!

As for the tombs, we can set a compensation standard for relocation, which can also be solved. "

With 5000 million silver in hand, at least [-] million silver dollars can be produced.

What's more, Zheng Hongkui also ordered tens of millions of silver dollars.

This is another 2000 million taels of silver!

Almost another 4000 million silver dollars were produced!

If the lead content in silver is not taken into account, one tael of silver can make two silver dollars.

Including the silver coins Zhu Youjian made before, he has the equivalent of [-] million silver coins in his hands!

It can be said that when the silver coins passed through the hands of Zheng Hongkui and Zuo Liangyu and began to circulate, Zhu Youjian's financial problems were easily solved!

He is not afraid of spending money!

As long as the method of making silver coins has not been leaked, Ming Dynasty will not be short of money!

And with such a huge sum of money invested in the private sector, there is no need to worry about not receiving taxes for at least a hundred years!

The so-called bad money driving out good money also depends on the situation.

At this time, coins were minted all over the world.

Only Zhu Youjian's family has mastered the technology of suppressing coins!

Just imagine, the manufacturing speed of silver coins is hundreds of times that of traditional casting!

The level of exquisiteness is unmatched even by casting coins or patting horses.

Under such circumstances, bad money cannot beat good money!

After all, Zhu Youjian's silver dollar was a product 300 years later.

Using magic to fight reality, how could it fail?

The silver dollar that blows loudly cannot be made by casting method!

This is high-end goods!

The common people can tell the good from the good.

The circulation of silver dollars has become an unstoppable trend.

As long as you give time, once this batch of silver turns into silver dollars...

Even if you don't consider the exchange ratio between silver dollars and silver, Zhu Youjian is already invincible.

Zhu Youjian, who is rich and powerful, is rich enough to spend money on people...

Besides, the place in the Wonu Kingdom is rich in gold and silver.

Zheng Hongkui set out early in the morning. When he returns, there will be a sea of ​​money...

Although the majority is taken up by the Zheng family.

but--

When I have my hands free and want to deal with him, all I need is an edict banning the circulation of gold and silver and not being allowed to take him overseas.

Zheng Hongkui must obediently take out the money!

Of course, the premise is that Zhu Youjian himself is strong enough.

Again, once a powerful government wants to collect capital, it is simply a piece of cake.

……

Questions were raised one by one by the ministers and resolved one by one.

An hour later, looking at the ministers who had no objections anymore, Zhu Youjian smiled and said:

"Then the railway plan starts!"

Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Zheng:

"Wang Qing, leave the railway matters to brother Wang Yongchun."

Wang Zheng hurriedly thanked his adopted son.

Zhu Youjian looked at Fang Yuegong, who had been promoted to minister:

"Fang Qing, as the Minister of Industry, you must do a good job in logistics!"

Fang Yuegong also agreed.

"Wang Zhang!"

Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Zhang, the censor who was sitting in the second row.

Wang Zhang stood up immediately:

"Wei Chen is here!"

Zhu Youjian asked:

"That day in the capital, Qing's leg was injured by the intruders. Has it recovered?"

Wang Zhang patted his injured leg hard and laughed:

"Your Majesty, if you don't tell me, I have forgotten this leg, and it has been stabbed before!"

Zhu Youjian nodded:

"You are the censor of the army, and I rescued you from the army's den. Do you dare to stick to my rules and patrol?"

Wang Zhang stood up straight:

“Your Majesty took this life back from me!

Not to mention that Your Majesty asked me to pick up lawbreakers, even if I asked me to go to the top of the city to scold the thieves, I would not even frown! "

"Okay, then you will be appointed as the special inspection envoy to conduct inspections according to discipline!"

Wang Zhang took the order.

Zhu Youjian looked at the other ministers:

"As for Zheng Sen, I asked him to send more boats to transport the iron ingots back.

Song Yingxing, take charge of the iron smelting in the blast furnace! "

Song Yingxing responded:

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the technology of blast furnace steelmaking has long been mature."

Ancient my country...

Really, all walks of life can shock the jaws of modern people!

Iron smelting has appeared since the pre-Qin Dynasty.

The manufacturing of steel is getting better and better!

During the Warring States Period, there was only the "block refining method" - in the early Western Han Dynasty, there was the "hundred steel refining method" of forging - in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the "fried steel method" was directly invented - and in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was the advanced "steel filling method".

The ruins of the No. 50 steelmaking furnace of the Western Han Dynasty in Guying, Zhengzhou, have a furnace capacity of [-] cubic meters and a single furnace with a daily output of one ton.

High-quality low-carbon steel ingots with a carbon content of only 0.05% were found in the site. The iron blocks recovered totaled hundreds of tons, with the largest piece weighing 23 tons.
