"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers also inquired with doubts and got a rumor." Li Zhizao said with a smile. He was really grateful for the rumor. "It is said that His Majesty is selecting partners. Whoever receives this cement technology,

Whoever will get His Majesty's approval will not be liquidated because of the land issue."

"That's true, but the scope is too strict. As long as you donate the land and participate in the auction, you will be qualified." Zhu Youxiao frowned. He had this idea at the beginning, with the intention of winning over the landlords.

, this rumor was also spread by him, he just knew how to spread it, and it became like this.

But this is okay. With more money, we can build more roads. With 33 million taels, the government will make money and subsidize it one after another. It will be enough to realize that all major transportation routes in the country are cement roads.

.

"Your Majesty is wise. I also felt the same way at that time. Many merchants and landowners did not have anything to auction, and they immediately felt regretful. Some said that they should not have donated their land. In the end, they ended up like this. Therefore, I made the decision without authorization and let the inner government and them

Various cooperations have been launched.”

"Materials, labor, minerals, cloth, and goods for overseas trade. Previously, Wang Wenyan was raising goods in Shanghai, but the progress was slow, but now they are almost there, but more detailed negotiations are needed." Li Zhizao talked eloquently, describing what he had made

The work comes one by one.

With such a complicated and huge workload, and with businessmen and landowners coming from all over the country, it is really hard to imagine that they reached the preliminary intention in one night.

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but carefully look at the faces of the six people in the inner palace. Sure enough, his eyes were red, his eyeballs were bloodshot, his eye bags were heavy, and his expression was a little sluggish. It was probably because he had worked all night last night.

However, their expressions were extremely exciting.

"After the cooperation, these landowners and businessmen were immediately excited, feeling that they were on His Majesty's side, yawn!" After saying this, Li Zhizao couldn't hold on and yawned.

"Haha." Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have disobeyed you." Li Zhizao's face turned red.

"Ai Qing, you have done a good job, so what's the crime?" Zhu Youxiao smiled and didn't take it seriously.

"Yes, the Zhenzhi matter was handled beautifully. Landlords all over the world have so many ideas about land reform. Those who are willing to cooperate are all here. Those who are opposed are probably involved in yesterday's interception. As for the neutral ones, they should also

Not much, most of them are still there." Xu Guangqi couldn't help but sigh.

"The interception failed, and the person behind the scenes was captured by Jinyiwei. Now Zhenzhi has roped in someone who is attached to him. In this way, the overall situation is settled!"

"Yes, the overall situation has been decided!" Zhu Youxiao also agreed with this statement.

The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly they all burst into laughter.

How can you not laugh? No one in the world can match such a great achievement. Not only Zhu Youxiao, but also other ministers are all smiling. As the witnesses and executors of this matter, they are destined to leave their names in history.

And it has a very good reputation.

Even Xu Guangqi, who had always been under the greatest pressure, felt relaxed at this time, and his heart dropped to the ground.

"Okay, don't be too happy too early. More than 30 million taels of silver and 1,500 tons are not easy to transport!" Zhu Youxiao also had a headache when he thought of this problem.

This is not something that can be done by direct transfer in later generations. With the level of road traffic at this time, it is very difficult to transport silver from all over the world. Moreover, these silvers are ordinary silver ingots, not the current silver coins, and cannot be directly transported.

It's useless even if it's a flower.

"Yes, except for a small number of people who transported silver taels to the capital, most of them are in the local area, and the inner government still needs to send people to collect the silver taels." Li Zhizao also had a headache. Sometimes it is difficult to handle too much money, especially in

Ancient.

Regarding this issue, everyone was silent for a while, not knowing what to do.

"How about spending it locally? It's all money anyway, and the people will accept it." Song Yingxing saw that everyone was silent and came up with an idea.

"No!" The first person to object was Bi Ziyan from the cabinet. "Now the silver dollar has finally begun to circulate, and the people have accepted it and gradually abandoned the use of silver coins. If we just spend it like this, it will be hard to open it."

The situation is over.”

In the cabinet, he is responsible for national financial matters and is particularly sensitive to this.

"Hehe!" Song Yingxing smiled and retreated.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea, but I wonder if your Majesty can lend it to the army?" Seeing this, Wang Chengen, who is in charge of the Ming Dynasty Royal Bank, had some ideas.

"Say." Zhu Youxiao looked at him with interest. He hadn't seen him for a while. This former domestic slave and eunuch has now developed a certain temperament through experience. He doesn't want to be like that at the beginning, always servile and servile.

He claimed to have the appearance of some literati ministers.

"It's like this. Nowadays, the income of the internal government is not bad. There are shops in various places. The Ministry of Commerce and Trade can count how much silver there is in each place. The exchange is. As for these silver ingots, they will be concentrated in the provincial capitals of each province, and then your Majesty will

Send troops to escort them back. If there is not enough, we will mobilize silver from the capital to make up for it, and then spend it on road construction."

Wang Chengen talked eloquently, quite like Li Zhizao just now, giving guidance to the country.

His words made everyone nod frequently. This is indeed a feasible method. Let the local Tiangong merchants supply the money first. If the money is not enough, the internal government will make up for it. This time, there will be a lot of time difference. With this time difference,

, among the thirty million taels of silver, there is always something that can be used.

This was the first thing Zhu Youxiao thought of, and obviously, Xu Guangqi also thought of this. He could borrow money from the emperor to spend money. Although the thirty million taels had to be spent, it was not all at once.

It's done in batches instead of used up. It doesn't matter if you take advantage of this person's time and misappropriate it a little.

Xu Guangqi was thinking with his abacus, and as he thought to himself, the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily into a smile, making him look like an old fox.

"Cheng'en, which army do you want?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The Yulin Army." Wang Cheng'en replied without hesitation. However, perhaps seeing that the emperor's face was a bit serious, he quickly changed his mind and said, "The Xiliu Army can do it, but if not, let General Qin's city defense army help."

"Okay, the Yulin Army will be the Yulin Army. By the way, why don't you want the Hussars?"

"General Li Tu is too murderous and has a rough temper, so he is not suitable for him."

"Haha." These words made everyone laugh.

Afterwards, Zhu Youxiao and the eleven central ministers discussed with each other the details of road construction, how to do it, when to start, etc.

The next day, newspapers began to cover the ground with overwhelming reports. The national road construction plan had officially begun. Under the massive publicity, local people were looking forward to it. They needed people to build roads, so that they could make money during the slack time.

Got a salary.

[Author's digression]: Well, I only have 5,000 words today, which is enough to cover all the things I want to write. I don't know how to enter the remaining 1,000 words, so I'll leave it like this for now. Let me take a breath and wait.
