Sun Chuanting heard it from the side, but had no special expression.
Because he understood Emperor Chongzhen, if it was really so expensive to make an identity certificate, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely not be able to do it for free. No matter how rich the court was, it would not be able to afford it!
Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly, and then replied to Ni Yuanlu: "Of course, I just said, this is just the current price! Don't think this is just a pamphlet, but it contains the most advanced chemistry of our Ming Dynasty.
The technologies are only produced in laboratories and have not yet been mass-produced. It is estimated that in another year, the cost will be less than one tael of silver!"
After hearing this, Ni Yuanlu breathed a sigh of relief, but he still shook his head and said: "It is barely bearable for the common people, but the court has to bear the first identity certificate of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, and the money it has to pay is still
Too much!"
For the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, it is a must!
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen did not blame him. Instead, he continued to explain with a smile: "For the time being, the appearance of children has changed a lot, so we won't do it now. We will do it after the adult appearance is finalized. In this way, there will be fewer people."
.”
The population of the Ming Dynasty was about 150 million during the Wanli period. Later, due to frequent wars, droughts, floods, plagues, etc., an unknown number of people died. Although compared with history, there were fewer captives entering the pass.
The tragedy of the massacre, overall, is still there even if the number of people is reduced by half.
Since the pacification of the bandit rebellion, the imperial court began to encourage childbirth, establish a stable mother-in-law family, vaccinate against cowpox, and even provide subsidies for childbirth, etc., which caused the population of the Ming Dynasty to increase dramatically again.
But at the same time, large-scale enfeoffment of vassal kings overseas took away many domestic adult men and women. Overall, the population of the Ming Dynasty is estimated to be only 100 million at most, and half of them are minors.
Ni Yuanlu knew from Emperor Chongzhen's words that the production of this identity certificate would not start right now, nor could it be required for everyone in the Ming Dynasty at once. Then the impact of this matter on the national treasury would be relatively better.
He also knew the benefits of this identity certificate for the governance of the country. After listening to Emperor Chongzhen's words, he thought about it and finally added the request: "Your Majesty, I think that if you want to do this identity certificate again, you must never do it again."
It can’t be cheaper!”
Ni Yuanlu also wanted to understand that people who would use the first free identity certificate would definitely not be short of money. It just so happened that the money of these rich people could be used to subsidize the money for free production!
Emperor Chongzhen heard this and said with great approval: "It's accurate, I'll let you decide the price later!"
Having said this, Ni Yuanlu was speechless.
So, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head, looked at Princess Kunxing and said: "The raw materials required for identity proof must be mass-produced as soon as possible to reduce costs!"
This request was expected, and Princess Kunxing agreed immediately. However, in her heart, she still wanted to go to Ninggu Pagoda in Liaodong, because her husband Xia Wanchun was there.
Of course, this was not that Xia Wanchun was exiled, but that a chemical laboratory was built in that bitterly cold place, mainly for the research and development of trinitrotoluene.
This experiment is dangerous, and it must be done in a place with low temperature to reduce the occurrence of safety accidents. But even so, this thing is still poisonous. Although there are protective measures, Princess Kunxing is still a little worried and wants to be with her husband.
We did this together, but her father didn't agree and asked her to get a camera.
Now, she just wants to get rid of the things in her hands quickly, and then go to Ninggu Pagoda to find her husband and help him!
The main reason for coming to the Academy of Sciences outside the city was about the identity card. Now that he had seen it, Emperor Chongzhen led the Sixth Cabinet and others back to the Forbidden City.
Sitting on the dragon chariot, Emperor Chongzhen took out his mobile phone. He was a little worried about Liu Weichao's side, so he requested video communication from Liu Weichao and wanted to ask about Liu Weichao's situation.
The villains on Liu Weichao's side, what he calls "public knowledge", "Zhuan family" and the like, are attacking Liu Weichao's promotion of Chinese civilization more and more frequently. They have even targeted Chen Yuanyuan and others who do not exist in Liu Weichao's plane.
People raised questions, and for this reason, they also bribed the personnel of Liu Weichao's company, saying that there were no people like Chen Yuanyuan, so they started to publicize it, saying that Liu Weichao's company was weird, asking the government to conduct a thorough investigation, etc., saying that there might be tax evasion, and even tax evasion.
Something more serious.
Although Liu Weichao said that he could still handle this matter, Emperor Chongzhen knew that Chen Yuanyuan and others were actually the foundation of Liu Weichao's company and important figures for Liu Weichao's eventual development, even if he asked Chen Yuanyuan and others to record a video
Explain, but because he could not come forward in person, this was Liu Weichao's fatal injury.
Those people have been targeting Liu Weichao for so many years, and now they have finally grasped the crucial point. How can Liu Weichao deal with it?
To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen was really worried!
The sound of the video communication link on the mobile phone kept ringing, but Liu Weichao didn't get through. Obviously something happened, which made him even more worried. He didn't know what was going on with Liu Weichao!
Although, as of now, without Liu Weichao's help, the Ming Empire has entered a virtuous cycle and is definitely the most powerful country on earth. It is absolutely impossible for the Ming Empire to subjugate its country, destroy its species, and commit suicide by hanging!
However, as his friend for so many years, or it can be said that he is his only friend, he can talk like ordinary people without any burden, and Emperor Chongzhen definitely does not want to lose Liu Weichao as a friend!
When the time for video communication request is up, it will be automatically hung up.
Seeing this situation, Emperor Chongzhen kept his heart in mind and sat on the dragon chariot anyway, so he once again initiated a video communication request to Liu Weichao.
"All...all..."
The voice continued to ring, but Liu Weichao still didn't get through. This made Emperor Chongzhen, who was originally happy because of the identification matter, suddenly feel bad.
In the past, even if Liu Weichao had something to do, he would answer the call if he continuously requested video communication. If it was inconvenient to answer the phone, he would explain it immediately before hanging up.
But this time, it was never connected, which was a bit abnormal!
Emperor Chongzhen deduced from this that Liu Weichao might have encountered something unprecedented.
Thinking this way, he became even more worried. Seeing that his phone kept requesting video communication, but no one connected, he sighed inwardly and prepared to turn it off.
But who would have expected that at this moment, the video was suddenly connected, and Liu Weichao appeared on the phone screen.
Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised when he saw it, and quickly asked with concern: "How are you doing? Did you encounter something? It's a pity, I can't help you there!"
While speaking, he observed Liu Weichao's expression and wanted to confirm his condition through Liu Weichao's expression.
I saw that Liu Weichao's expression was more serious, but he couldn't read more information.
While he was thinking about it, he heard Liu Weichao say to him: "Move your phone and let me take a look at the surrounding environment."
Emperor Chongzhen was a little confused after hearing this, but according to Liu Weichao's request, he moved his cell phone to let Liu Weichao look around him. At the same time, he explained: "I just came back from the Academy of Sciences. The camera matter has been settled and I have made an identity.
Prove it, and now you will be driven back to the palace by a dragon!"
Hearing this, Liu Weichao asked again on his mobile phone: "Then go outside and take pictures of what's going on outside!"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen signaled, and Long Chu stopped immediately. Then, as he walked out of Long Chu, he turned around on his phone, looked at Liu Weichao on the phone and asked, "What's wrong? I feel like something is wrong?"
"It's okay!" Liu Weichao heard this and immediately answered him, "I'll talk to you later. You can check the situation here first!"
Emperor Chongzhen was certain that something was definitely going on, but he was not sure what it was. He would not refute Liu Weichao's request, so he turned his phone around and started showing Liu Weichao the scene outside.
At this time, he had returned to the city and was on Chang'an Street. On both sides of the road, soldiers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division were enforcing martial law, and the people were kneeling outside the cordon to greet him.
On Chang'an Street, in front were various flags and cards, etc., held by the chamberlain, and guarded by the imperial guards. Behind Long Chu, Sun Chuanting and others followed on horseback.
But at this time, they didn't know why the emperor stopped suddenly, so they all dismounted and waited.
When the emperor and the highest-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty traveled, the queue was very long. In addition to the imperial guards, there were also other forbidden troops.
The dragon flag is flying, the armor is bright, and especially the person's mental state is definitely not comparable to the extras in Hengdian in later generations.
Most of the people accompanying him were Han generals, all of them tall and powerful. From a visual point of view, the majestic effect was definitely the best.
"How's it going? Is it okay?" Emperor Chongzhen took the mobile phone and turned it around, then turned back and looked at the screen of the mobile phone and asked.
After hearing this, Liu Weichao seemed to be looking at the outside of the phone screen, and then said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Just leave it on like this. You continue walking and return to the palace. I'll take a look at the situation along the way!"
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen sensitively discovered that Liu Weichao did not use the word "I", but said "my side", which showed that Liu Weichao was probably not the only one on his side.
Who could it be?
Regarding the video communication between himself and Liu Weichao, he even hid it from his wife!
However, since Liu Weichao didn't want to say anything and Emperor Chongzhen didn't ask, he followed Liu Weichao's request and sat on the Dragon Boat, but he opened the door curtains and curtains, faced the outside with his mobile phone, and continued back to Zijin City.
It wasn't until he arrived in front of the Wenhua Palace in Purple City that Emperor Chongzhen got off the Dragon Boat Festival. Following Liu Weichao's request, he turned his phone around and heard Liu Weichao say: "Wait a minute, I'll hang up first!"
