Before farm tools are used for free across the country, we can still earn millions of guan. At that time, I can still get at least 2 million guan, right?
Emperor Wu felt a little excited when he thought about it.
At this moment, Emperor Wu vaguely understood that Li Zhao's vigorous promotion from the beginning was actually an old sow wearing a bra, one after another.
He also thought of the deeper meaning of Li Zhao's actions.
Although people all over the world are talking about "scholars, farmers, industry and commerce", few people really put agriculture in an important position.
Li Zhao may have originally thought that the threshing machines and windmills would be free, but if he really dared to do this, everyone would jump out and oppose him.
Maybe, in the end, this thing won't be promoted at all, and in the end it will be the wealthy family that benefits.
The common people get nothing.
Emperor Wu knew this very well. With the urinary nature of today's wealthy families, even if it was really promoted, it would probably take one or two years or even several years.
At that time, it will be these aristocratic families who will take advantage.
If Li Zhao charges first and then asks them to ask for free, the result and meaning will be completely different.
Li Zhao first saved himself the difficulties and troubles of promotion, and at the same time avoided direct conflicts with these people, and also disintegrated them from within.
Li Zhao can also first use some of the dirty money from these big dogs to build infrastructure.
There are so many things he needs to spend money on now, and the money he earns is simply not enough to put his teeth between his teeth.
The common people have no money, but the aristocratic families and gentry are extremely rich.
If Li Zhao doesn't kill them, who will they kill?
Just like in the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen called for donations, and each official donated more than one hundred taels, saying that his family was too poor to open the door. Finally, the king came to search the house, and each of those officials had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver hidden in their homes. , got Chuang Wang for nothing.
Therefore, Li Zhao never believed that these big business owners had no money, and they would never be able to squeeze out all their money. Li Zhao didn't feel sorry for them at all.
Emperor Wu couldn't help but admire when he thought of this. This son seemed to have matured and grown up.
All of a sudden, I have gained millions more financial income. What can I do if I want to?
Being an emperor without money is really frustrating.
Now, he's really happy.
"Dad, please don't be happy just yet. There's something even better here, kid."
Seeing this sentence, Emperor Wu felt a sense of embarrassment and anger.
What is this traitor talking about?
Emperor Wu glanced around with a guilty conscience, and his face suddenly froze because he found sneaky eyes staring at the letter in his hand, looking like they wanted to pry.
Emperor Wu immediately calmed down his smile, pretended not to notice what these people were doing, and continued to read the letter.
"Dad, let's do another big one, you have to be mentally prepared in advance!"
Emperor Wu couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. What scene have I not seen before?
Do you need any mental preparation?
"Actually, neither the threshing machine nor the windmill can be regarded as real artifacts. What I will study next is the real super artifact that benefits the country and the people."
"Of course, I can tell you that it's called a 'quyu plow'. With this thing, we can open up wasteland and cultivate fields at least five times faster without any problem!"
Emperor Wu's face changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly. His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared straight at the five times the words, and even his breathing became heavy.
This is impossible!
Emperor Wu's first reaction was disbelief.
He has a strong psychological quality and does not lose his temper too much.
But his big move has attracted everyone in the side hall.
This was the first time for the ministers in the side hall to see Emperor Wu acting so rude just because of a letter.
It is precisely because of this that they are particularly curious, what did Emperor Wu see?
Emperor Wu tried hard to calm down his mood and prevent his expression from losing control. He read what he just said a few times to make sure he read it correctly.
"Of course, this thing hasn't been researched yet, so I ask dad to keep it a secret!"
"After this thing is researched, I will report it as soon as possible. However, I also hope to make a little money with this thing. You also know that my expense here is huge. By the way, I can do it here. Cultivation of new fields?"
Although the subsequent chatter is also very important, Emperor Wu's mind is obviously no longer focused.
His mind was filled with the concept of quintupling the speed of land reclamation and farming.
Can such a tool really be built?
If it could really be created, how scary would it be?
Emperor Wu frowned and said nothing. If...if what Zhao'er said was true, then had he been prepared for it?
First it was the threshing machine that shortened the time, then the windmill, and finally the curved shaft plow. It was obviously a link within a link.
Emperor Wu suddenly felt pity for those aristocratic families, because he could conclude that once what Li Zhao said was true and the research was found out, the aristocratic families would definitely loot like crazy.
The value of this thing... is probably even more outrageous than thirty thousand guan.
Thinking of this, Emperor Wu couldn't help but feel a little excited.
When the son makes money, he, the father, can also share the money.
So cool!
Emperor Wu managed his expression promptly to avoid being noticed.
He is confident now. If Zhao'er is allowed to continue tossing around, the nobles in the world will really scold their mothers.
However, Emperor Wu did not intend to feel sorry for these people. The people he wanted to suppress were the aristocratic families.
After quietly putting away the letter, Emperor Wu found that everyone was staring directly at him. He asked without changing his expression: "How is it?"
No one can convince the other.
Of course, those who supported Li Zhao's free stuff were actually unsure of Emperor Wu's intentions. In any case, Li Zhao's stuff belonged to the royal family in a sense.
If the royal family doesn't speak up, the difficulty will increase.
There are many members of the royal family, and they also need to eat. If there are benefits, they naturally want a piece of the pie.
None of the ministers spoke, but Emperor Wu immediately understood. As expected, everyone was just as Zhao'er thought, incapable of distinguishing between high and low, life and death.
The situation reached an impasse.
Emperor Wu looked at the members of the royal family, most of whom did not participate in the discussion.
King Wu, King Qin, King Ning, and King Shu all looked disapproving.
Emperor Wu's eyes fell on King Shu. King Shu was a fat man who seldom exercised and would never sit down if he could.
At this moment, seeing the imperial brother's eyes sweeping over him, his whole body trembled.
Although the King of Shu is fat, his brain is the brightest among the four remaining princes.
Almost all the brothers of their generation were killed when Emperor Wu took over the throne. The King of Shu had always been on good terms with Emperor Wu, and his status also increased.
At this moment, seeing that the emperor's eyes seemed to have some meaning, King Shu immediately started to think about it.
Based on the tacit understanding between him and the emperor's brother for many years, he had a vague feeling that the emperor's brother was going to do something sexy, but he had no evidence.
As the younger brother who has lived in the shadow of his royal brother for many years, the King of Shu is very aware of his "younger brother's position".
Since the emperor needs him, he must figure out what the emperor means and come up with a solution.
