Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Secondly, the current princes are only the first generation of princes of the Ming Dynasty. The financial expenditure occupied by the princes is only a small part compared to the income of the national dynasty, and is far from the level of so-called "burden".

Zhu Yunhuan slowly took a sip of tea. Although there was a smile on his lips, his eyes were sharp. He said lightly: "Let them live happily for another two years."

After saying this, he picked up the pen again.

Behind these two points, a symbol of gathering was made, and then three large characters "Make Guns and Cannons" were written in a flamboyant style.

Last year, a plan to stabilize steelmaking was reached. At the same time, the Alchemy Department had been conducting research and testing on the proportions and formulas of various types of gunpowder. The conditions for making guns and cannons were basically ready.

To be honest.

Zhu Yunhuan was not a gun maker or cannon maker in his previous life. His understanding of guns and cannons was more of a general understanding of their design, concepts, and principles.

It is impossible to ask him to rub it directly with his hands.

It is almost impossible for anyone coming from the future to make a complete gun or cannon by hand, unless they have a system, but God won't give them that.

and so……

What Zhu Yunhuan could do.

He brought with him some gun and artillery designs and concepts from the future that were far more advanced than those of the present era, and passed them on to the people of this era. He continued to be a "demanding client," allowing the smart and qualified people of this era to improve, research, and debug based on his inspiration.

The ancients simply saw little and were not stupid. Even some gifted people can give you endless surprises as long as you can give them an inspiration.

This has always been Zhu Yunhuan's philosophy - if he relies on himself alone, he will never be able to finish everything until he dies, and he does not have the brains to perfectly replicate everything in the future. Relying on the people of this era and their wisdom to grow wildly is the only right way.

If we want to improve the firearms of this era, we must first look at the nature of the firearms of this era.

Zhu Yunhuan wanted to convey the gun and artillery designs and concepts of later generations to people of this era. First of all, he had to thoroughly understand the gun and artillery designs and concepts of this era, what specific stage of development they had reached, and what things had appeared.

Only in this way can we provide targeted explanations and provide inspiration for this era.

This is also the reason why he asked Ma Sanbao to call Fu Youwen back - he had to let Fu Youwen take him to the Ministry of Revenue warehouse for a visit.

Find a professional to explain it to him.

During the Ming Dynasty, there were two places where weapons were stored.

The first place was the "Nine Warehouses" in the suburbs of Beijing, where weapons were stored. In reality, the "Nine Warehouses" was the largest weapons depot in the Ming Dynasty. However, Zhu Yunhuan had made a special trip out of Yingtian Prefecture and specifically went to the "Nine Warehouses"...

This is too eye-catching.

And this second place.

It is the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue.

In addition to storing the country’s tax revenue and financial reserves, the Ministry of Revenue warehouse also stored a variety of weapons. Although the quantity was far less than that of the “Nine Treasurys” that were specifically used to store weapons, the types were also complete.

Going to the "Nine Warehouses" would involve a large number of troops and might even alert the enemy, so the Ministry of Revenue warehouse seemed to be more concealed.

Think of this.

Zhu Yunhuan raised his head and glanced out through the now open door. He was looking into the distance to give his eyes a rest, and at the same time he was subconsciously checking to see if Fu Youwen had returned.

However, he did not see Fu Youwen and Ma Sanbao.

I think I almost fainted in the previous meeting and forgot about this. Fu Youwen has gone a little too far.

However, he was not an impatient person. After his eyes wandered aimlessly around the sky and the palace outside for a while, he lowered his head again and began to study the paper on the dragon desk again.

Whether it is the survival and development of the people or the stability of the government.

This is only the first half of the policy he set last year, and the second half is aimed at the outside world.

The two are not in a sequential relationship, but an equal and parallel relationship. As for the external aspects, there are three points involved in total.

First, it is based on internal development.

【Second, various preparations before going out to sea.】

【Third, make preparations for military strength in advance.】

This first point is the result of all the previous internal developments. In addition to the survival of the people and the stability of the government, a lot of groundwork has been laid last year to improve domestic productivity, such as water-powered spinning machines, flying shuttle looms, and the preliminary preparations for a "mild industrial revolution". All of these are being carried out in a marginal manner with sufficient margin.

The second point was given to Ma Sanbao. Since Zhu Yunhuan had deliberately guided him early on, he could be considered a professional.

As for the third point...

Well, he did it. Now I guess a lot of people are cursing him in their hearts as a "dictator", "stubborn", "self-willed", and "self-righteous".

Zhu Yunhuan put down the pen in his hand.

He read it over again, making sure he had a clear idea of ​​what was going on. Then he stood up, walked to the brazier, and casually threw the paper in...

at the same time.

Outside the Ministry of Revenue.

Fu Youwen and Zhan Hui were still lingering here, not going in, and their expressions were a little indescribable.

But suddenly I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"Is this Lord Fu from the Ministry of Revenue? And Lord Zhan from the Ministry of Personnel, Lord Fu, we finally found you." It was none other than Ma Sanbao, a big shot around the current emperor. Both of them felt a tightness in their hearts.

"Eunuch Sanbao, what's the matter?"
