Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 256 Chapter 256 Can you get things done without spending any money?

Gu Jiangzhi had no room to refute.

Who makes someone the commander-in-chief?

He was thinking whether his refusal was too harsh and made the prince-in-law dissatisfied?

"Why is the prince-in-law suddenly interested in water transport?"

Gu Jiangzhi, who was riding a donkey, asked carefully.

"The emperor ordered to recruit a group of talents who understand water conservancy. The merchants who came to the capital to do business told me that there is a gap at the entrance and it will take a long time here. I hope the court can deal with it. The prince also explained something."

Wang Buli lightly knocked the horse's belly and crossed the small pit in front: "In addition, you are also the direct descendant of Guo Taishi, so I have to ask you."

"I know."

Building an emperor's tomb is really not something that can be taken lightly.

As for the silver mines in Japan and the copper mines in Yunnan, there is still no impact.

Gu Jiangzhi just replied that a gate should be installed on the river.

Once such a large amount of treasure banknotes are issued to them again, according to Wang Buli, the treasure banknotes will definitely not be valuable and will definitely fall back.

If something can be done without spending any money, that's a good idea.

In the past, they were given in kind, but only this year they began to give out some treasure banknotes. In addition, the price of treasure banknotes dropped, which made many officials sigh a little, and the money they received became less.

Through Wang Buli's incident, Zhu Yuanzhang also understood that treasure banknotes could not be printed unscrupulously.

Wang Buli breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he has embarked on such a big job as building the mausoleum, he should build the canal in advance so that materials can be transported by water in the future.

……

Wang Buli planned to use the merchants' money to repair the canal. Since the emperor had money again, there was no need for it. The court would just collect taxes directly.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang can also issue treasure banknotes again, the price of treasure banknotes that has finally stabilized may drop again.

"Good son-in-law, you said you can handle this matter without spending any money from the court?"

Especially the imperial tombs not only need to be repaired, but also have to spend money to maintain them, otherwise they will fall into disrepair in a short time.

When Marco Polo was "traveling" in Guazhou, he saw the scene on the Grand Canal, all of which were ships for Kublai Khan.

Especially if more of these gates are built, there will not be enough people carrying bags, and more jobs will be created.

Gu Jiangzhi didn't understand how he could do this.

"Make a bet."

Wang Buli looked at the vast river with deep eyes, and took a deep breath: "I'm free."

Zhu Yuanzhang's main idea is to vote for a white girl if she can, and it is best not to spend money.

Gu Jiangzhi held the letter of introduction given to him by Wang Buli in his hand and happily went to Qinhuai to spend some money. Anyway, the prince-in-law was not short of money.

Wang Buli originally remembered that the Baochao Department was in charge of this, but he didn't expect that it was specifically responsible for making wipes for the royal family. The company that made Baochao was called the Baochao Lifting Department, and he was confused.

Now that there is no electricity, it can only be controlled by human power. Wang Buli thinks it is good to use a few more pulleys to save effort.

To be honest, both father and son are used to being poor, and many times they have solved most of the things in their lives without spending any money.

Wang Buli planned to go home and have a good stay. After all, he didn't go back after entering the princess's mansion.

A while ago, he told the emperor that he wanted to recruit water conservancy talents to solve the problem of the canal's entrance, but there has been no news.

Then it will be much easier for him to do what he wants to do.

In particular, due to the high losses suffered by shipping, coupled with the sea ban policy, Lao Zhu has never been very interested in shipping.

Wang Buli took a look at the sky, and at this point he had no time to fish.

Zhu Yuanzhang also accepted Hu Weiyong's advice. At present, Ming Dynasty does not have money.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty repaired the canal and went to the south of the Yangtze River. In addition to enjoying himself, he also wanted to use all the manpower and material resources in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River for the imperial court.

According to the emperor's requirements, things like this are subject to lifelong responsibility.

This is hard work.

Gu Jiangzhi:? ? ?

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and moved his body: "I asked you to find a way to spend money on my behalf without letting the value of the treasure drop."

"Hahaha, okay."

"Oh, so much manpower has been used, why has it been done for so many years?"

"This matter is not urgent. I just want to let people pick the place first."

Listening to Wang Buli's idea, Lao Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up.

That would be a slap in the face.

At this time, it was already extremely cold in the north. Wang Buli was wearing light clothes and felt a slight chill while standing by the river.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

He seemed very unfamiliar with how to spend money better, so he thought of asking Wang Buli for advice.

The current situation is that the court has no extra money!

He was thinking about how he would show more "hard work" in the future, trying to make Lao Zhu relax his vigilance.

However, these stupid craftsmen actually stole the imperial court's money. How could this be possible!

It was the craftsmen who made the treasure banknotes who stole it themselves, and the amount they took was quite large.

Wang Buli eloquently asked Lao Zhu to watch his writing and drawing, and even made a simple ppt to collect money, tricking the big businessmen in Jiangnan to invest money.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very excited, you are the talent I need!

"Father-in-law, I originally thought that it wouldn't cost much to make a small renovation."

Wang Buli doesn't think this kind of thing is difficult.

After all, Sun Quan's tomb can be considered an emperor's tomb.

In the main hall.

"what?"

"Four years after the destruction of the Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan ordered the construction of a section of canal in Shandong, including the Linqing section, allowing direct access from Beijing to the south of the Yangtze River."

Gu Jiangzhi never thought that this thing could be done without money from the court. It was obviously impossible.

There were overall difficulties in transportation along the Grand Canal. During the entire Yuan Dynasty, sea routes played a major role in transportation, while land waterways were only auxiliary. It was only in the Ming Dynasty that the priorities were reversed.

What is this situation?

Maybe next year there will be money to use, and we will slowly pay salaries to the officials in the capital, all in treasure money.

Gu Jiangzhi looked at what punishment Wang Buli would take.

"what?"

Wang Buli nodded slightly, and then he had to ask someone to find out if anyone else was buried there. After all, according to traditional Feng Shui, only one person could be prosperous.

Of course, there are also minimalist styles. Chongzhen had no money to build an imperial mausoleum, so he was eventually buried together with Concubine Tian. It is said that the funeral did not cost much money.

Sure enough, my son-in-law still has quite a lot of experience in engineering.

Hu Weiyong didn't say much. Being the prime minister for Lao Zhu was quite a tiring job.

Wang Buli and others stood by the river. Although Lao Zhu used sea transportation, there were only a few hundred sea-going ships, far less than the number of water transportation ships.

What's more, after Zhu Biao's suggestion, the selection of water conservancy talents was not to ask them to build rivers immediately, but to go to the Imperial College to educate students. This officially divided Confucian students into two groups.

He was really worried that in the long run, His Majesty would continue to increase the stakes.

"Don't be too busy saying no."

Although it feels very satisfying once treasure money is issued indiscriminately, Zhu Yuanzhang is also afraid of following the old path of Dayuan.

After the prime minister went to rest, Zhu Biao felt that it was not easy to run a family, let alone the world, where there were too many places to spend money.

Wang Buli only gave him a salary from the Ministry of Industry, and he obviously had no idea.

"The main reason is that my father feels that it would be unfair to the people of all parts of the Ming Dynasty to give all the money to the people of the capital."

"Biao'er, please talk to our good son-in-law about this case."

So Wang Buli could only follow the inspection and leave directly.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that if he couldn't do it this year, he would be able to spend money next year.

Gu Jiangzhi's eyes immediately lit up. He had long heard that Ye Qinhuai had many new tricks.

After all, in their impression, no prodigal son in the entire capital was as good at spending money as Wang Buli.

Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to discover silver mines immediately so that he could feed back the Ming Dynasty.

Whatever it is, use the best.

At least Lao Zhu cannot be fooled into many things. After making his own decision, Lao Zhu may still investigate.

When Wang Buli entered the palace, he found another group of people kneeling in the hall, all wearing shackles and crying.

Gu Jiangzhi looked suspicious: "Prince-in-law, why do you have to take this kind of thing on yourself? It's all harm and no benefit!"

"Prince-in-law, I am waiting for your good news."

"Well, he and Emperor Sui Yang had the same idea to better control Jiangnan."

The military function of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is indispensable, at least it is extremely convenient for troop deployment.

Zhu Yuanzhang had almost finished the case. They were cautious at the beginning, but became extremely courageous without being discovered. Not counting what they spent, the stolen money alone was one million and six thousand yuan.

"No."

Gu Jiangzhi nodded slightly: "I will study this matter carefully when I get back. There is no rush anyway. If the court wants to repair this, it will have to allocate money in batches."

In this way, those men who carry bags can change their profession and become those who close the gate.

"It will be much smoother to find someone first than to find someone later when you have money."

It is true that he always exchanges experiences with the craftsmen, and is also willing to condescend to hang out with the craftsmen.

"Well, you'll understand."

To do this kind of thing, even if you call in craftsmen, you still have to take care of the food.

Don’t you just want to progress above the court?

Thinking about it this way, the prince consort in front of him is quite motivated.

Construction is about to start again, and on a large scale.

"I am the mastermind of this matter. Just come up with the plan. If there is a problem in the future, I will resist it."

Wang Buli knew little about the history of the Yuan Dynasty. He only knew about the emperor Kublai Khan. He had never heard of the subsequent emperors, and he didn't even know the temple name.

When the talent is really found and the plan is put forward, can you, the emperor, not use it?

Next year the imperial court will send troops to the northwest, and it has been spending money on this matter recently.

After all, Lao Zhu is quite honest.

Gu Jiangzhi immediately held Wang Buli's hand, fearing that he would regret it.

After Wang Buli entered, he saluted: "Your Majesty, the location of the imperial mausoleum has been surveyed. When the time comes, Gu Jiangzhi will report carefully with Your Majesty. Mainly because I don't know those terms, but Sun Quan's tomb is also there, which shows that since ancient times, Feng shui is good.

It's just an eyesore, so why not move Sun Quan's tomb first, and then I'll carve a new stone figure to accompany him as compensation. "

Regardless of whether the matter assigned by His Majesty can be solved or not, you must investigate it yourself and never rely on others.

If you want to dig a trench, you must first build a temporary dam to cut off navigation in this section.

I just heard from General Gu that the new river sections opened in Shandong and other places during the Yuan Dynasty took more than 30 years to build, and they are also installing sluice gates to control the water level.

This project is not too difficult, but we need to prevent the project from being damaged by water as much as possible.

Let me give you a taste first.

After staying by the Yangtze River for a while, they led the troops and horses towards Nanjing.

"Okay, okay, if that's the case, then I will grant you this money for your use.
