Chapter 118: Inventions and Creations that Failed Halfway

The round globe was slowly rotating. Yun Zhao pressed the earth with one hand. Qian Duoduo looked at her husband strangely and said, "Why, can our family continue to own private property?"

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, yes, but it won't be within a radius of three thousand miles of Chang'an."

Qian Duoduo looked at her husband, gave her a look of contempt, and continued to weave her own colorful belts.

Chang'an is 3,000 miles in a radius and a straight line distance. Qian Duoduo doesn't think he will have any chance to ride a horse three thousand miles away. With these skills, it's better to wove your daughter's colorful hairband.

"We have discussed that the heroes cannot be without rewards. It is not a good thing to ask them to contribute without contributions. However, the land in China must be closely linked to our own people.

Therefore, their fiefdom can only go three thousand miles away."

Qian Duoduo spitted out half of the thread from his mouth and said, "Han Xiufen, Shi Lang may become popular immediately."

Yun Zhao glanced at Qian Duoduo and said, "Do you want to talk about Zhu Cunji and the others?"

Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Yes, not only Zhu Cunji, but also the remaining royal family of the Ming Dynasty. They must also think about being far away from you."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "It would be great if they think so. I always feel that the people of the Ming Dynasty do not have a good pioneering spirit. If these people are willing to sail to sea, I have no objection."

"Hey, husband, do you really allow them to explore outside the territory?"

Yun Zhao nodded again and said, "This is a good strategy. I am worried that they have lived a comfortable life and no determination to be enterprising."

Qian Duoduo leaned against Yun Zhao and whispered: "Han Xiufen said that if you plant sugarcane and squeeze sugar in the South China Sea, it will make a lot of money, which is much better than the current price of salt."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Since Lantian took over the Daming Salt Administration, I have not allowed the government to make money by using the necessity of salt. It is a good thing to maintain the profits of the salt administration at 10% of the profits.

As for sugar, it is a luxury item. It doesn’t matter whether poor people eat sugar or not. Some people are willing to eat some sweets and are willing to pay a high price for it. I don’t think there is any problem.

But who would like to leave the family and the business to plant sugarcane?”

After saying that, Yun Zhao's face suddenly changed. He stared at his wife in a daze. He was afraid that the terrifying answer would come out of his wife's mouth.

really……

"Husband doesn't understand, right? I heard from Han Xiufen that there is actually not a shortage of people on the islands, the North Sea, the East Sea, and the South China Sea, not to mention that the forests of the Jiaozhi generation in the southwest are full of savages squatting on trees and eating wild fruits.

Han Xiufen said that these people can be used as long as they are caught from the forest. It is just simple to plant sugarcane."

Yun Zhao was still very satisfied with Qian Duoduo's considerateness. At least, this woman said so bluntly about getting serfs from North Korea and Japan, and only said she was willing to catch the savages in the forest...

Yun Zhao understood that once the southwest starts planting sugarcane and gains a lot of benefits, then many dark things that are not visible to the sky will definitely happen, and they will happen in full swing.

Not to mention anything else, just after Lantian started to weave wool, the number of shepherds on the grassland increased by 600,000 in two years.

As for how many flocks have increased, Yun Zhao has not yet obtained an accurate number. However, judging from the pasture disputes that occurred near Ageli Haizi, the people of Lantian have almost put the flocks in Lake Baikal.

As an emerging class, Lantian merchants were untied by Yun Zhao and their ambitions spread all over the world like wildfire.

In the current Prime Minister's Mansion, a large group of merchants were discussing with Zhang Guozhu whether they could move the Lantian Bian Army to the north for two thousand miles to defend their property. Of course, they were willing to bear half of the military expenditure of the Wubian soldiers.

Zhang Guozhu disagreed with exchanging money with the imperial soldiers, but Yun Zhao thought this was a good thing. He could first agree experimentally and improve it after the problem was exposed, and finally form a complete system.

Whether it is sucrose or wool, in Yun Zhao's view, these are the driving force for the expansion of the imperial army to the outward, and expansion without motivation is completely undesirable.

For example, Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, sent a large army to expedition the west for a few horses, must be strictly prohibited.

Yun Zhao felt that his mentality was very stable now. If there was no need to fight or it was not worth fighting, even if he was humiliated by the enemy, Yun Zhao could still kill himself.

If war is very beneficial to Lantian or can make Lantian stand in a very favorable position, even if the target of the battle is Yun Zhao’s favorite person, I’m sorry, the war will definitely come quickly.

What a bullshit emperor's blood flows away from his pestle and corpses are buried in millions. If Yun Zhao is angry, he needs to shed the blood of his own people or soldiers, and it is very unworthy. Yun Zhao will definitely find a place where no one is, vent his anger, and come back and live a good life.

If you don’t work well, sheep will eat people, and sucrose can be so sweet that people can be so sweet.

After thinking about it, Yun Zhao never came up with a way to avoid sheep eating people or to kill people with sweet sugar. Capital has its own operating rules. If you want to make a lot of profits, then bleeding is inevitable.

Therefore, in the matter of wool and sugar, Yun Zhao decided to pretend to be stupid and hand it over to Zhang Guozhu for treatment.

After all, with Zhang Guozhu's eyes, he could not see how important these two things are to the expansion of the empire.

Now, the Lantian army has been dispatched in an empty group, measuring the territory of the Ming Dynasty with its own feet, and using its own cannons and muskets to firmly weld the huge Ming Dynasty into a whole.

The scholars in Lantian are scattered in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and establish their own regimes.

The merchants in Lantian have already attacked from all sides and searched for goods and places that could bring them rich profits.

Very good, this is a thriving country. Although most parts of the country are still in ruins, Yun Zhao believes that as the smoke on the land of Ming Dynasty gradually dissipates, a bright spring will definitely come on this land that has experienced countless hardships.

The next day, Yun Zhao received Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Menggeng's heads. After watching for a while, Yun Zhao decided to use one of the heads to make wine bowls and one head to make tea cups. As for how to choose, it was the dark craftsmen in Lantian.

The empire must demonstrate its own force and majesty, and the heads of Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Menggeng and his son are tools to establish their authority.

“Woo woo woo woo…”

The train dragged Yun Zhao to Yushan with thick smoke.

Nowadays, trains have replaced ox carts and become the means of transportation between Yushan Academy and Yushan City.

Seeing the locomotive gradually becoming familiar, Yun Zhao felt very happy.

The locomotive of Yushan Academy is not big enough. Although it can deliver hundreds of thousands of kilograms of goods to Yushan at one time, this is far from enough in Yun Zhao's opinion. In his opinion, transporting one million kilograms of goods at one time is the beginning, and tens of millions of kilograms is the right way.

The hillside of Yushan is very steep, and today the cargo is full, and the front half of the cabin is also full of people. So, when we arrived at the steepest horse-side slope, a locomotive drove over from the other end of the herringbone railway, heading behind the train, dragging hard in front and pushing hard in the back, and easily sending heavy goods to Yushan with people.

"This is my design, isn't it?"

Yun Zhao seriously confronted the Prime Minister Zhang Guozhu.

Zhang Guozhu said expressionlessly: "If Your Majesty is willing to help me share some state affairs, I will definitely fully understand the exquisiteness of this train lane and organize the most exquisite language to congratulate Your Majesty on his unparalleled wisdom."

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "Don't overstep the authority. Military affairs are mine, government affairs are yours. We'd better develop this good habit from now on."

Zhang Guozhu grabbed the train railing and said airborne: "Since Your Majesty is handling military affairs, it is better to even deal with the military's logistics supply. This is your official business, not mine."

Yun Zhao frowned and said, "I have more important things to deal with."

Zhang Guozhu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty still want to study your twenty-six electric iron sheets today?"

Yun Zhao nodded seriously and said, "That's right, if it is done, it can transmit voices from thousands of miles away."

Zhang Guozhu said: "Okay, since Your Majesty is so persistent about this thing that transmits messages from thousands of miles away, then should Your Majesty explain that it is only fifteen miles away from Yushan Academy to Yushan City. In order to convey a brief sentence, Your Majesty set up a generator and a telegraph machine, and set up wires between the two places, which cost 16,300 silver dollars.

But the sentence you passed on is full of errors and the meaning of the word is completely different.

Does Your Majesty think that your devoted yourself to this is indeed considering the future of the empire?”

Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Guozhu seriously and said, "I'm really not playing... Besides, I just go and see it occasionally."

While the two were talking, a glider passed by the train. Yun Zhao got up and waved his hand to the person on the glider, then sat down and said to Zhang Guozhu: "Didn't our country show a prosperous look?"

Zhang Guozhu was speechless. He really couldn't judge whether what Yun Zhao was doing was right or wrong.

If it is right, then the carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty has proved that he is a foolish emperor with his own actions.

If it is wrong, the train that has invested huge amounts of money to study successfully under Yun Zhao's concern has proved its practicality.

The train soon arrived at Yushan Academy Station. Yun Zhao and Zhang Guozhu got off the train and watched the train continue to run towards the research institute. Then, under the protection of a large group of guards, they entered the academy.

Xu Yuanshou finally had the consciousness of a big boss, stood at the entrance of the academy and just clasped his fists and said, "Welcome to Your Majesty."

Yun Zhao looked at Xu Yuanshou with a gray beard and said, "What do you want to say today? Why not hurry up, I still have something to do later."

Xu Yuanshou bowed again and said, "Your Majesty has nothing to do later. The old minister has taken all your toys back to the warehouse."
