Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

In all honesty, Wu Ganlai didn't think Zhang Zhiji would have any good ideas.

For military killers like Zhang Zhiji, it’s okay to let them use knives to kill people or something. Let them find a way to come up with ideas. Obviously, it’s better to expect the barbarians to go crazy and cut themselves off and go to the construction site to work as a coolie Be more realistic.

But there is an old saying in the Central Plains, which is called seeking medical treatment in a hurry, and Wu Ganlai is doing the same thing now, so I plan to hear what Zhang Zhiji has to say first.

Zhang Zhiji said: "To tell the truth, Wu Butang, those killers in the guards can't count on them. What they care most about now is military merit rather than silver rewards. Even if the household department raises the purchase price of labor to ten taels, It is estimated that it will not be very useful.

But there is a good saying, that there must be a brave man under a great reward, and there is another saying that people die for money.

The guards don't care about the price of ten taels of silver, but the folks care a lot, such as Liu Hang, Meng Fanxing, Wang Haojie and others.

Since these people dared to put their heads on the waistbands of their trousers to plunder people in the early years, and now they have doubled the price, it is estimated that they will go north to Tsarist Russia again. "

Wu Ganlai nodded, then shook his head and said, "No way. The people you mentioned, Liu Hang, I have heard of their names before, and I know the great things they did in Liaodong and Nurgan Dusi.

But have you ever thought that when they left the customs, they were in their twenties, and now they are in their 40s, so let them go to Tsarist Russia? "

Zhang Zhiji rubbed his forehead and said, "I don't mean to let them go, but to imitate the past and lead the people to go to Tsarist Russia spontaneously.

Think about it, think about how heroic those good families were when they were strong men, and they prepared their own bows and horses to go out. My Hao Erlang of the Ming Dynasty may not lose to the ancients! "

Wu Ganlai shook his head and said, "It still doesn't work.

Although my Ming also has the rule that scholars cannot be recruited if they don’t teach it, and there are countless people who can do this kind of thing among the people, but these people may not like to go to the army now.

Whether it's farming or working on a construction site, you can earn money in a safe and secure manner. Don't you force yourself to lick blood with the knife head?Or is it that your five-army governor's office plans to count military merits for them? "

Zhang Zhiji took it for granted: "Calculate, why not count military merit?

It's just a matter of flexibility. Their military achievements in killing people are not as cost-effective as ten taels of silver, so they will think of catching barbarians for silver instead of killing barbarians.

The military government can't change the military merit calculations of the soldiers casually, but it can flexibly change the military merit calculations of the civilians who spontaneously join the army. After all, they are not regular troops. "

Wu Ganlai couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken: "Ten taels of silver, isn't it too much? Isn't five taels not enough?"

Zhang Zhiji squinted and sneered, "As Wu Butang said just now, if you are safe and sound, you can earn money. Why go to the knife to lick the blood? Isn't it because you get more money for catching barbarians? You pay less Who wants to do it? Do you think they are like us fools?"

Wu Ganlai cast a sideways glance at Zhang Zhiji and said, "If Duke Ying is also an idiot, I'm afraid there aren't many smart people in the world!"

Zhang Zhiji laughed and said: "That's not important, don't care about these details, just say whether you agree or not."

Wu Ganlai shook his head and said: "These problems are not a big problem, and ten taels of silver is not a big problem, as long as the old man agrees."

Of course, Wu Ganlai would not have any big opinions. Anyway, the money will be shared by the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Industry in the end, and it will not be relied on the accounts of the Ministry of Households.

As for whether the three companies will agree to share the cost, Wu Ganlai said that he is not worried at all - let me know about the budget for next year?

"It's just that once this opening is opened, how many people will go to Czarist Russia to catch the barbarians? Will there be a mess at that time?"

What Wu Ganlai was worried about was not the money, but the people rushing to grab the coolies. In the end, the small number of people would become fewer and more insufficient.

Zhang Zhiji smiled slightly, expressing that everything is under control: "Liaodong, Nurgandusi, Leshi Grassland, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Duogansi, Wusizang, the folk customs of these places are simple and can be used for great use.

Except for these few places, no guides will be given to other places. Whether it is the rangers or the common people, even if they want to go to Tsarist Russia, they will not be able to go. What else should Wu Butang worry about? "

Simple folk?Do you have any misunderstanding about the four words folk customs and honesty?

The old man doesn't worry about anything else now, can the old man worry about Tsarist Russia now?

After a small meeting in the cabinet dissipated, Zhang Zhiji hurried back to the Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, and began to gather his horsemen to discuss how to kill the Tsarist Russia.

After the news reached the people, the people became excited.

If there is no military merit at all, it is estimated that not many people are interested in catching barbarians. After all, the people of Ming Dynasty are not like before, and their lives are considered good no matter how they look.

But it's different when it comes to military exploits.As long as you catch a barbarian, you can exchange it for ten taels of silver. This is definitely a good deal, especially if you can still get some military merits.

Are war horses the problem?Is weaponry the problem?Is the cost of going out of the fortress a problem?

Absolutely no problem, a lot of money and military achievements are beckoning, what's the problem?

……

Emperor Chongzhen was wondering if he should go out to make waves, after all, he had stayed in Daming for several months, should he go out and kill people now?

The arrival of Song Yingxing interrupted Emperor Chongzhen's idea of ​​going out and killing people.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was just a programmer in later generations, he basically forgot a lot of knowledge about science and engineering, even in high school and junior high school. The only programming skill that he did not forget is useless in this era, but there is an old saying Well, have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?

Emperor Chongzhen had seen many things in later generations.

Such as electric lights, such as radios, such as radio stations, such as steam engines and internal combustion engines, although I don’t know how these things work, but I still know some general principles.

This has brought a lot of help to the Royal Academy. After all, after knowing the correct result, it will save a lot of things compared to starting from scratch.

Just like the railways in the Ming Dynasty, if there was no Emperor Chongzhen, probably hundreds of years later, there would be an old Zhongtang who said to an immortal Lafayette: "Lafayette, foreigners are coming to repair the railway for us in the Qing Dynasty. La!"

Daming is different now.

Although it is said that the railway is far from reaching the speed and density of later generations, how much and speed are one thing, and whether there is it is another matter entirely.

Daming has it now, and it is completely possible to build railways for foreigners, although the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Households have no plans to do so.

The good news Song Yingxing brought was about electric lights.

Generators are quite difficult to get, but if you are really willing to spend money, let alone in Daming, even if you go back a thousand years, you may not be able to get it in the era of the old Liu's house.

The real difficulty lies in the utilization of electric energy, and Emperor Chongzhen just knew how to use it.

What surprised Emperor Chongzhen was the filament.

It is not at all similar to the tungsten wire of later generations, but Emperor Chongzhen couldn't figure out what this new metal was.

It seems that Daming's technology tree is still inevitably going off track.

According to Song Yingxing, the lifespan of the light bulbs produced now can last about a month, which means that as long as they are willing to spend money, the concept of the city that never sleeps can appear in Daming in advance.

Of course, it is definitely impossible to spread this kind of thing to the entire capital now, because there are too many aspects involved.

Such as the problem of the power supply line, as well as the management aspect and various other small problems.

These problems alone are inconspicuous, but combined, they are enough to cause headaches for everyone.

Emperor Chongzhen's goal was still on the train.

Installing headlights on the train is a great benefit for driving at night. At least it doesn't need to be like before. Except for the military, the remaining trains are basically out of service at night.

In addition, small-scale use of electric lights can also be tested.
