Chapter One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty Six Differences
Since Korea brought back rubber seeds and started planting them in Southeast Asia.
Rubber gardens continue to expand every year, and output reaches new highs every year. According to common sense, such a large rubber output should have been able to meet the needs of the Ming Dynasty.
But the fact is that the rubber gap in the Ming Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger every year. It makes people feel that no matter how much rubber is planted in Nanyang, it seems that it cannot fill the huge mouth of the Ming Dynasty that is devouring rubber.
And Xinming was in a place of four wars, and dealing with the attacks from Native Americans every day was enough to make them exhausted, leaving them with no extra energy to develop.
The lack of supplies made Xinming's situation more and more difficult. This was why Zhu Di, so arrogant, had to lower his head and send people back.
Zhu Zhanji said he came back to worship, but in fact he came to ask for help, but he just bought it.
Seeing the determination on Zhu Yunye's face, Han Du knew that even if he persisted in opposing, it would be of no use, so he had no choice but to hand it over and "I will resign here!"
I don't agree with your views, Your Majesty, but if you insist I can't stop you, then there's no need for me to stay here.
Of course Zhu Yunye could understand Han Du's attitude at the moment. Looking at Han Du in the audience, he had only two choices before him. One was to follow Han Du's suggestion and prohibit Zhu Zhanji from taking the academy students to America. The other was to stick to his idea and let
Han Du leaves.
After a moment of pause, Zhu Yunye forced a smile on his face and waved slightly towards Han Du, "Since uncle still has something to do, please step back."
Han Du glanced at Zhu Yunye with disappointment, let out a long breath silently, and turned around to leave.
Zhu Yunye sat on the dragon chair, staring at Han Du's back until he stepped out of the palace door.
Then he shook his head secretly, thinking that Han Du was a little too unfounded.
It’s not like Zhu Zhanji was asked to pack up the entire academy and take away only a few students. What kind of situation could it lead to?
On the contrary, Zhu Zhanji's conditions made Zhu Yunye excited.
One hundred thousand slaves, ten million guan, and after the opening of sea trade promised by Zhu Zhanji, Xinming purchased no less than 20 million guan from Daming every year.
Of course, the price cannot be as high as that of slaves. If it were still that high, Zhu Zhanji would think that Zhu Zhanji was deceiving him.
The first time you submit a certificate of investment, you can buy it at a high price. After all, no one is stupid, so how can it be possible for the price to be high every time?
As for how much the price should be, it still needs to be negotiated continuously.
But even this made Zhu Yunye extremely excited. Even though he was an emperor, he had control over the whole world, and his annual income was far more than 20 million yuan.
But only he knows that the annual income is large, but there are more places to spend money every year.
Since the imperial court knew that the emperor's inner treasury had huge profits every year, everyone became lavish in spending money.
Zhu Yunye can understand that the state capital wants to build cement roads. After all, cement roads are indeed a great convenience. Connecting various prefectures with a cement road not only provides convenience to the people in normal times, but also allows the court to quickly mobilize manpower and material resources for disaster relief in the event of a famine.
.
But what does it mean to build cement roads into the county?
Zhu Yunye looked at the memorial in his hand and became more and more angry!
A lower county with a population of tens of thousands insisted on building concrete roads. The memorial was submitted to the cabinet, but the cabinet was sent to the imperial court intact.
> This is not the first time. Previously, the county magistrate wanted to build cement roads, but Zhu Yunye certainly refused.
As a result, they ignored the imperial court at all and gathered the people to start construction without waiting for the order. By the time the imperial decree arrived, the cement road was almost completed.
If the county magistrate could build the cement road entirely by himself, then Zhu Yunye would not only not punish him, but would also express his gratitude to him.
But the county magistrate had no money to build roads at all, so he directly misappropriated all the money from the Yamen, which was the entire county's tax revenue for a year.
In other words, this county withheld all tax revenue and gave not a penny to the court.
Zhu Yunye was so angry that he ordered the man to be escorted to the imperial court and asked him sternly why he was doing such nonsense.
As a result, the county magistrate was not afraid at all, and said with dignity and dignity, "Since the imperial court will not repair it, then the humble ministers will repair it!"
"Nonsense!" Zhu Yunye almost exploded with anger, pointing at the county magistrate's nose and scolding, "The court has its own laws to practice or not to practice, how can you be allowed to do whatever you want? If everyone is like this, then the world will not be in chaos? You
You know, disrespecting the imperial court is a capital offense!"
Unexpectedly, the county magistrate showed no trace of fear on his face. He raised his head, held his chest out and rubbed his neck, "This humble minister worked for the welfare of the people of the county and died a worthy death!"
You have to work for the welfare of the people. How come I haven't seen you so proactive in seeking the welfare of the people before?
Zhu Yunye knew that an official was eyeing his internal treasury, and was going to test it by killing him first and then reporting him.
In the end, Zhu Yunye sentenced the county magistrate to death. As for whether the county magistrate would be remembered in history, Zhu Yunye could no longer care.
What he needed most was for the court to strictly instruct counties not to build concrete roads without authorization.
But even if the court orders it again, there are still people who dare to put themselves in danger.
At the same time, Zhu Yunye also discovered that these people were actually officials from the Imperial College. In the past, Zhu Yunye felt that the students in the Imperial College were disciplined, but he did not like the students in the academy who were all wild and wild.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that officials from the Imperial College were posing problems for him, while officials from the Academy were keeping to themselves.
Only then did Zhu Yunye understand what Han Du meant when he told him that most of the students in the Imperial College were talkers and less practical.
"The academy students should be sober. They know that with the financial resources of the imperial court, it is impossible to build cement roads in every county. They have never applied to the imperial court." Zhu Yunye sighed alone, "And it's not like they are just doing nothing.
Waiting, they are using limited financial resources to widen the road section by section and consolidate the roadbed. Although the road here is also very crude and muddy even when it rains, it is far inferior to the cement road, but it is better than the previous road.
A lot. In the future, once financial resources are sufficient, cement can be laid on these roadbeds immediately, and a complete cement road will appear."
Although it was a little slow, it fully considered the situation of the county government and the court, and it was actually the best way.
Now Zhu Yunye deeply felt what the gap was. The officials of the Imperial College did not know how to adapt and only wanted to become fat in one bite. They did not think about whether the county could bear it or whether the court could bear it.
But the officials of the academy are completely different. Their ideas are flexible and changeable. Things like building cement roads can be implemented bit by bit by them without any impact on the court.
Let me ask, who wouldn’t like the idea of building a cement road without the court spending a penny? Ever since Han Du brought back rubber seeds and started planting them in Nanyang.
Rubber gardens continue to expand every year, and output reaches new highs every year. According to common sense, such a large rubber output should have been able to meet the needs of the Ming Dynasty.
But the fact is that the rubber gap in the Ming Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger every year. It makes people feel that no matter how much rubber is planted in Nanyang, it seems that it cannot fill the huge mouth of the Ming Dynasty that is devouring rubber.

The lack of supplies made Xinming's situation more and more difficult. This is why Zhu Di, with his arrogance, had to lower his head and send people back. .??.
