Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 305 The most stable prince in history - Zhu Biao

Zhu Han saw the suspicion hidden in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't you think it's incredible? Do you think what I said is a little illusory?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, but Zhu Han said very confidently: "If it is not incredible, how can I say that the train is a tool that can change Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Han took Zhu Yuanzhang to the train, and did not stay on the locomotive, but sat in the middle carriage. The layout of the carriage was similar to Zhu Han's layout in later generations.

"Brother, here is the seat, and here is the toilet at the door. We designed a toilet, as long as the rope is pulled, the water will pull the feces out of the car without any peculiar smell..."

After entering the door, Zhu Han introduced the various functions of the train to Zhu Yuanzhang, "In addition, there are kitchens on the train. As long as people get on the train, they can eat, drink and drink on the train."

Of course, this is only a preliminary plan and setting, and it is really uncertain what will happen in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to the carriage, looked at the rows of chairs, and was very surprised: Can people really sit on them?

"Brother, not only can it sit people, but it can also sit many people."

Zhu Han saw Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts, and said to him: "Now in the stage of experiment and research, because the power generated by the locomotive is insufficient, and the sealing material used cannot be perfected, so now only three of the locomotives can be driven."

"train?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said that he didn't understand the name Zhu Han gave, "Why is it called a train? Didn't you say it was propelled by boiling water? Why isn't it called a water wheel?"

"..."

This question... Zhu Han never thought about this question at all. It was just a habit of later generations. He never struggled with this matter at all.

However, since Zhu Yuanzhang asked, he would say: "This, this...Although it is propelled by boiling water, but...Brother, you can understand it this way. Do you think it is better to call it a train or a waterwheel?"

Zhu Han couldn't explain the specific working principle of the steam engine to Zhu Yuanzhang. The more he explained, the more confused Zhu Yuanzhang was. Looking for a reason that was not a reason, Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was very reasonable, and replied without thinking: "The train sounds good."

Zhu Yuanzhang is still a bit aesthetic.

Zhu Han also couldn't laugh or cry about this, this old Zhu is really a layman, so he had to mention his name.

Of course, this is only a small episode, the most important thing is the train!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the rows of seats and asked Zhu Han: "How many people can fit in this carriage?"

Zhu Han immediately explained: "It can seat 40 people, and there are aisles and places to eat. If it is full, it can seat almost 60 people."

60 people.

There are three carriages, which can seat 180 people.

This number is not very large. For Ming's current war, more than 100 people are just a drop in the bucket.

However, what Zhu Yuanzhang valued was the convenience of the train.

Think about it before the Ming Dynasty, why did everyone worry about long-distance raids during wars?Because of the exhaustion of boats and vehicles, it would take a very long time for the soldiers just to go on the road. Who can guarantee that there will be no moths on the way?

The cavalry is going fast, right?
But it’s useless. Long-distance raids consume more physical energy of the cavalry. With the train, they can support the soldiers of Ming Dynasty to carry out long-distance raids. They rest on the train, and they can also eat and drink. to the fight.

Moreover, this does not require any force from the sergeant, and the train will be fine for twelve hours.

good stuff!
Although the train in this experiment has only three carriages, Zhu Yuanzhang is more willing to trust Zhu Han. As Zhu Han said, as long as the power of the train is strong enough, they can add more carriages.

Moreover, the role of the train is not only to transport sergeants, but also to transport food, ordnance, and even war horses... If this carriage contains more supplies, why is it more than carriages and carts?Moreover, the train relies on the power provided by boiling water instead of manpower. How much food will be saved in this?

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about the huge strategic value brought by the train, he suddenly let out a long cry of 'woo', and then Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the truck under his feet moved.

Ku~chacha!

Then Zhu Yuanzhang saw the trees on both sides start to recede.

"Is this the start?"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt the surroundings in surprise, then looked down at the carriage, stomped his feet vigorously, and said to Zhu Han: "There is no feeling of bumps."

"Is it? There are shock absorbing springs under the carriage, which are specially installed underneath."

Zhu Han explained a sentence, and then said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "However, the train can only go forward for ten miles and then come back."

"why?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled, "Is it because of insufficient motivation?"

"No."

Zhu Han shook his head and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Now only ten miles of railways have been built. It is a test product. It is a waste to lay too many rails, and the manufacturing cost of rails is very high. If you want to build trains in the future, you still have to be closer to raw materials such as coal and iron. It will save you a lot of money.”

In fact, Zhu Han, like Zhu Yuanzhang, spends money wisely, but Zhu Yuanzhang only spends money wisely, while Zhu Han spends it as he should, without paying attention to money.

"How can it be a waste? One more mile is one mile."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very interested in trains, and secretly made up his mind that he must vigorously develop trains, and he wanted to spread the railway tracks throughout Daming.

Zhu Han smiled and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, our Daming is now rich in resources, such as coal and iron, but these are gifts from nature, and they may be used up at any time, so we have to find them from other places. You know me." mean?"

Understand!
Of course I understand!
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "You are talking about the enclave outside, right? Are there such resources there?"

"Yes! There are more than that, and there are many!"

Zhu Han laughed, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Don't talk about other places, let's talk about Yinzhou, where coal, iron, gold and silver resources are very rich, and there is also the Australian Island where the sapphire was brought down. , what is hidden are coal, iron and various metals, let's find a way to dig out these things and send them to Daming!"

Not only in North America and Australia, but also in Europe, north of the grasslands in the north, and many in South America.

In the future, when oil is exploited and utilized, Zhu Han can draw a circle on the world map, and then have someone dig oil...

Those are the wealth of Chiguoguo, if Zhu Han doesn't take it, it's too much for God's sake!

As for Daming's resources, Zhu Han is not going to dig them out, at least not too much, and hide them underground if they can, and wait until all the resources in the world are hollowed out before using the resources on his own territory. Han didn't think about it.

What is this called?
This is looting the world!

Zhu Han rubbed his hands, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, we need to make use of craftsmen. Their value will be so great that it is unimaginable. We will divide these craftsmen according to the type of work. There are blacksmiths and some Those who dig coal, even set up an exploration team to find resources all over the world, we can use them.”

"Okay, let's do that!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also patted his thigh in agreement, and said to Zhu Han: "You don't want to dig resources under our Daming's feet, we know you don't want to over-consume the resources under our feet, but you want to tell people in China that the enclaves outside have Is this what you mean by the endless wealth that drives the people to go out?"

"Yes! Brother, you really know me very well."

Zhu Han gave Zhu Yuanzhang a thumbs up and appreciated Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding.

The comprehension ability is not 150 points, it is directly [-] points.

Zhu Han didn't think so much when he was doing many things. He just thought it was good for Daming, so he did it. Zhu Yuanzhang thought more comprehensively, thinking of all aspects, and made further supplements to Zhu Han's approach.

For example, Zhu Han said that to dig out the resources in those overseas lands, the freight alone would be a very large expenditure, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think about it at all, and he didn't even need to doubt Zhu Han's words, just do it directly.

It's not unreasonable for the two brothers to be successful.

As far as the two of them complement each other without deliberately reminding them, they are faster than others.

Zhu Han: Brother, let's do this!
Zhu Yuanzhang: OK!Listen to Qiwu!

How could the phrase "Brothers unite as one, and their benefits cut through gold" be just words?
"To build a railway, we must build it!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang got off the train, he said to Zhu Han emotionally: "Qiwu, I came to the craftsman camp with you today, and I really gained a lot of knowledge. You are right, the future Ming Dynasty will be with the people. We built it together, and the common people include farmers and craftsmen, they are the real two legs of my Ming Dynasty!"

With them around, Zhu Yuanzhang is not afraid of someone rebelling with evil intentions.

What's the use of rebelling?

If the people don't recognize it, it's useless for anyone to rebel!
……

Zhu Yuanzhang came and returned in good spirits.

After returning to Yingtian Mansion, he accepted Zhu Han's suggestion and handed over the annexation of the land to Zhu Biao.

After Zhu Biao heard the news, he was both happy and surprised.

I am so happy that I can finally do great things.

But there is also a reason for the shock: this matter is too big.

Zhu Yuanzhang did have high hopes for Zhu Biao, and he handed over all the team who conquered the world to Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao did not disappoint Zhu Yuanzhang, and soon entered the role and became the prince of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Yuanzhang is still the emperor now. Zhu Biao was just assisting in many things, and Zhu Yuanzhang taught him how to deal with them.

The matter of land annexation is huge!

So big that Zhu Biao's hands trembled when he saw it.

Among them, the vast majority are those military generals who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world. They invaded the land and caused local complaints, but they were so powerful that the local officials were helpless, but their occupation of the land was spread to Zhu Yuanzhang. in the ear.

After knowing the situation inside, Zhu Biao scolded directly angrily.

Why do these generals have no brains?

The Civil Service Group has seen that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to vigorously develop business, so they try their best to invest and strive to make themselves have more money, but what about these generals?Always keep your eyes on the one-acre three-point land.

Let’s not mention the overseas enclaves, but in the original land of Ming Dynasty, land annexation is Zhu Yuanzhang’s biggest taboo. He will never allow anyone to own too much land, even the military generals who followed him to fight the world!

Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned this red line more than once in court or in private, but these generals didn't take it seriously, and still went their own way... Isn't this hitting Zhu Yuanzhang's knife?

Could it be that these generals feel uncomfortable living a good life, and are going to use their lives to help Zhu Yuanzhang emphasize the majesty and inviolability of the laws of the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Biao felt unbelievable, but at the same time felt the difficulty of this matter.

Killing them all will make the generals group feel alienated from Zhu Biao.

If you don't kill him, Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige will be affected. It is said that the emperor keeps his word, how can he change it easily?
Zhu Biao wanted to call Zhao Yong over and ask him for advice.

Zhao Yong was the first group of people who followed Zhu Yuanzhang. He followed Zhu Yuanzhang when he was in Longxing Temple. He was brilliant, so Zhu Yuanzhang arranged him next to Zhu Biao and asked him to teach Zhu Biao.

However, Zhu Biao saw that Zhao Yong's name also appeared in the dossier Zhu Yuanzhang gave him, and the land annexed and occupied by his family was among the top five in the dossier Zhu Yuanzhang gave him.

Who should I consult with?
After thinking about it, Zhu Biao thought of Xu Da.

It stands to reason that Chang Yuchun, as Zhu Biao's father-in-law, is the one who is closer to Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao knows that Chang Yuchun is a general, not a handsome talent, and his performance in court is not as good as Xu Da .

Land annexation is a major event in the court, and Xu Da, who also serves as Prime Minister Zuo, is the best candidate for Zhu Biao to inquire.

And Xu Da is fair and just, Zhu Biao thinks it is most appropriate to ask Xu Da now.

When Zhu Biao saw Xu Da, he explained his intentions, and told him exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang had told him. Xu Da frowned when he heard it, and what Zhu Biao asked him to ask was really a hot potato.

Most of the names that Zhu Biao recalled were his friends. Now Zhu Biao wanted to turn his blade inwards to deal with Xu Da's old brothers. How could Xu Da come up with an idea?
The long military career has taught Xu Da to be calm in situations. The more nervous he is, the more he must maintain a high level of calm. He carefully went through what Zhu Biao told him in his mind again, and tempered his strength on the battlefield. Xu Da quickly discovered the unusual smell.

Zhu Yuanzhang had high hopes for Zhu Biao, and wanted him to become a qualified successor as soon as possible, but he was also very protective of Zhu Biao. For example, the land merger had a complicated network of relationships. How could Zhu Biao handle it well?
But Zhu Yuanzhang handed over this matter to Zhu Biao. Based on Xu Da's understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, he thought that this move was not in line with Zhu Yuanzhang's character.

Suddenly, Xu Da thought of Zhu Han, and suddenly understood in his heart: dare to entrust such an important matter to Zhu Biao, except for Zhu Han, no one in the whole Ming Dynasty would dare to suggest such a suggestion to Zhu Yuanzhang.
