After sending away King Zhu Di of Yan.
Zhu Yunxuan found Yang Shiqi, and he still valued the talent of this prime minister very much.
Hope it can be cultivated soon.
It might as well lighten some of the burden on yourself.
Unexpectedly, the first thing Yang Shiqi said when he came up was to implicitly ask Zhu Yunxu to take back his life.
If you really can't find someone to head the tax department.
He can also do it for him. Although he lacks prestige, he has a ruthlessness that is not afraid of death.
I promise that I will never let down Zhu Yunzhen's trust.
But Zhu Yunxuan's answer is also very simple.
"Don't think about this matter anymore. The feudal prince must do it when he returns to the capital, and I don't shy away from it so much."
"This feudal prince's policy was wrong from the beginning!"
"There are many ways to defend the frontier, and it doesn't have to be a vassal king or a division of military power."
"With money and soldiers, it is only a matter of time before the vassal king rebels."
Yang Shiqi was stunned and speechless.
It's not like he doesn't know these problems, but his thoughts are simpler and more realistic.
No matter what happens to him in the future, rebellion will be a thing of the future.
With the grandson's current prestige, it would not be that easy for the feudal king to rebel.
But if the vassal king is summoned back to the capital, this will undoubtedly give many vassal kings the opportunity to plunge the grandson into the whirlpool again...
How can Yang Shiqi not object to this?
Who can’t see the problems with the vassal system? It's just that no one wanted to solve it before the thunder exploded.
Because this may completely set you on fire!
It's just... if you don't do this, it wouldn't be too great.
His Highness Taisun is truly planning for the eternal survival of the Ming Dynasty!
"I didn't come to you today just to talk to you about this." Zhu Yunzhen walked to the desk and picked up a map.
Spread out in front of Yang Shiqi.
Said: "Now that the Ming Dynasty's treasury is fully funded, with more than hundreds of millions of silver coins, I am ready to carry out an unprecedented large-scale construction in the Ming Dynasty!"
Yang Shiqi glanced at the map.
Just this one look! It shocked him!
I couldn't help but take a step back!
What did he see? On this map of the Ming Dynasty, there are actually all kinds of roads, reservoirs, granaries...
There is even a bridge across the Yangtze River on that map!
Since ancient times, relying on the danger of the Yangtze River to defend one side across the river, countless forces have been able to separate themselves from one side.
Jinling is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
From here, looking towards the other side of the Yangtze River, you can't see the end at all!
All that can be seen is an endless expanse of mist!
And in such a dangerous place, His Highness Taisun actually wanted to build a bridge connecting the north and south of the Yangtze River!
What an ambition!
"Your Highness...this...can this really be accomplished?"
Yang Shiqi looked at it carefully, not to mention that the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge is a miraculous project that transcends the times.
Just the countless roads alone make one’s scalp numb!
"It will happen naturally."
"But that's not what you need to worry about."
Zhu Yunxuan is full of confidence. Now the national treasury has sufficient money, and the banknotes issued have also been initially recognized by the people, establishing a credit currency system.
In addition, corvee service was abolished and replaced by employment.
Naturally, the people's willingness to work is far greater than before, and there will no longer be a situation where work is not productive.
Once built, the efficiency will be many times higher.
More importantly, he still has the king of cement in his hands!
How could it not happen?
But Zhu Yunxu summoned Yang Shiqi just to inform him of one thing, and there was no need to explain this to him.
"I summoned you here just to remind you."
"Once the Ming Dynasty starts this unprecedented large-scale construction, the amount of silver disbursed from the Ming Dynasty's treasury every day may be in the millions! Or even tens of millions!"
"And so much silver flows out and has to pass through the hands of officials."
"I have to worry about corruption..."
Corruption will always be an unavoidable problem on the road to national construction.
As long as officials control resources and money.
No matter what kind of restrictions are used, corruption cannot be avoided!
Therefore, all Zhu Yunzhen could do was to find out as many bugs as possible in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom.
Yang Shiqi is in charge of the People's Supervision Department.
Working from the bottom up, accepting feedback from the people, and catching such bugs can be said to be accurate!
"Yes!" Yang Shiqi was very excited when he heard this.
The time has finally come for him to show off his skills!
"I will definitely arrest all these corrupt people! No one will be spared!" Yang Shiqi promised.
But Zhu Yunxuan suddenly smiled mysteriously.
Said: "That doesn't have to be the case."
"Moths, after catching a batch, there will be another batch."
"What you really need to care about is the 'tiger' behind these moths..."
Zhu Yunxi said seriously.
Yang Shiqi immediately understood.
"My lord, take your orders!"
………………
The next day.
Early morning.
Zhu Yunxuan directly announced the matter in the form of an imperial edict.
"Gu, prepare to spend three years."
“Across the Ming Dynasty, national highways were built that ran through important cities.”
"At the same time, we will build water conservancy projects and build reservoirs in various places to ensure that people all over the world will have a harvest regardless of drought or flood."
"Let me have a great Ming Dynasty and no longer have to worry about food."
As for the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge, Zhu Yunxi did not mention it yet.
This project is too huge, and the supporting facilities must be completed first.
Today, people in the Ming Dynasty still rely on farming as their occupation. Although the emergence of sweet potatoes can liberate a large number of labor forces.
But after all, time is still short.
There is not much labor force that can be liberated.
Secondly, such a magnificent and miraculous bridge requires countless materials.
If the road is not repaired first.
How to get these materials?
And Zhu Yunxuan could definitely imagine what the reaction from the court would be once he announced the plan for the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge.
This is a building that transcends its time!
It is not an exaggeration to call it a wonder comparable to the Great Wall!
Now that the Ming Dynasty's treasury is full, it is fully capable of building the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge, and the ministers will certainly not object.
On the contrary, it is more likely to be enthusiastic support.
After all, this kind of spectacle will definitely go down in history.
On the contrary, Zhu Yunxuan was worried that the ministers would be overjoyed at the achievement and all the good news they received would end up being a shoddy project.
Make him embarrassed to see others.
Therefore, Zhu Yunxuan was prepared to wait until the conditions were more adequate.
Announce this again.
He must repair this bridge!
Zhu Yunxuan could fully expect that when the news of the construction of the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge was published in the daily newspapers.
How excited the people of Ming Dynasty will be!
This is a miracle of the Ming Dynasty and a miracle shared by the people of the Ming Dynasty!
"Your Highness, no!"
"Have you never heard the Sui Dynasty's call for destruction?"
"What happened to Huang Chao?"
Sure enough, after Zhu Yunzhen's announcement, someone else stood up to oppose it.
Only this time, Zhu Yunzhen was not looking for discussion with them.
But a notification!
"Hmph!" Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly.
The eyes are cold.
He said angrily: "The imperial edict has been issued, but you want to resist it?!"
"Furthermore, there are no corvees in the Ming Dynasty now, and they are given wages, so how can there be any trouble?"
This is a rotten scholar who keeps talking about the past things all day long.
I cannot see clearly the specific situation of Ming Dynasty today.
Zhu Yunxian was very unhappy.
If there is a chance, we should clean out all these rotten scholars!
"Exactly, Your Highness's abolition of corvee is the virtuous government among virtuous governments."
"It's the first of its kind."
"Of course I won't worry about the civil unrest, it's just..."
Another minister stood up and raised his concerns: "The people are homesick, and now there is no corvee. We cannot force the people to work."
"The people who can rally...I'm afraid are far less than before..."
This is indeed a problem.
In ancient times, many people had never even left their villages. Sometimes leaving home was a challenge for them.
But Zhu Yunzhen wanted them to gradually adapt to this kind of life away from home.
Only in this way can more labor be freed from the land.
He has experienced the power of industrialization more than once, and Zhu Yunzhen's belief is extremely firm!
"This matter is easy to handle. Just follow the principle of proximity."
Anyway, there are many national highways to be built.
And since there is cement, it doesn’t require a lot of manpower.
More money, less things to do and close to home.
I'm afraid the people will have to fight over each other to do it!
"His Royal Highness Taisun is a wise man!"
Everyone could no longer find anything wrong with it, although the three-year plan proposed by His Highness the Grand Sun was so bold that it frightened them.
But it’s hard to object at this point.
And they also know the benefits of building roads, which are beneficial to both the country and the people.
But... there is still a hidden party with the greatest interests, and that is the officials!
"Well, then, we will discuss the redemption of the land and the route."
"Specifically, how to compensate farmers."
"How to draw a route."
"Who should be sent to take charge of this matter?"
Zhu Yunxian said neither salty nor bland.
It seems that he doesn't care much about buying back the land.
But at this moment.
All the officials' breathing suddenly became heavier!
The air between your mouth and nose seemed to be burning!
Benefit!
Great benefit!
Building a national highway will inevitably occupy cultivated land, and this cultivated land can be divided into good paddy fields, medium good fields, and inferior wasteland.
Even woodland.
But when building roads, plowed fields will turn into roads. Once the roads are built, nothing will be visible.
Therefore, this original field became Schrödinger’s field.
In addition to local people and officials.
No one knows whether the fields under this road are paddy fields or barren fields.
The operating space is simply not too large!
The benefits here are too great to imagine!
As long as you move your fingers a little, countless coins will be delivered to you!
As for route planning.
There are also many benefits, after all, when two or three lines are the optimal solution.
The decision is in the hands of others...
Whether the field is occupied or not is decided by others.
Think about it carefully...
This road construction thing is just like a piece of cake.
Just take a bite!
You can make a lot of money!
All the officials exchanged glances.
In my heart, I am determined to be responsible for building roads!
For a moment... an undercurrent surged in the court...
