Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 304 Leave things to Zhu Biao

Sure enough, what Zhu Yuanzhang was most concerned about was money.

Zhu Han smiled wryly, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, our Daming has no shortage of copper now, and under the current conditions, only copper wires can meet the standard of communication."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang understands everything, it is still difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to hide his discomfort when he thinks that the copper used to make copper coins has been used in this way.

How did Zhu Han comfort him?
There is no way to comfort.

After that he got used to it.

"Brother, this machine is called a talking machine now, in the future... I plan to call it a telephone."

Zhu Han directly used the names of later generations, and explained to him: "With this kind of thing, we can make long-distance calls with electrical signals."

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his incomprehension, "Electricity? What...Qiwu, you don't know the kind of thunder and lightning on a rainy day, do you?"

"Yes, that's the kind of electricity."

Zhu Han saw the color change on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and explained to him: "Brother, that kind of electric load is too big for us to use, but as long as we master the method of changing the current, we can use electricity. "

Speaking of this now, Zhu Yuanzhang would not understand: "Brother, this is a very magical science. Electricity is indeed terrifying, but it is not impossible to control. We can master the way to use it... Just like gunpowder, we can create If you come out, you can change the world."

Regarding what Zhu Han said, Zhu Yuanzhang expressed helplessly: He understood every word Zhu Han said, but if they were connected together, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what it meant.

"Qiwu, isn't what you're doing dangerous?"

He wanted to persuade Zhu Han not to do these things, but thinking of Zhu Han's character, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it would be futile to persuade Zhu Han no matter what.

Since you can't persuade him, then don't persuade him, but there is still some advice that should be given: "Qiwu, be careful, we'd rather slow down our development, and don't want you to get hurt."

If nothing else, just talk about gunpowder.

The destructive power of gunpowder, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, can destroy the world. People have no chance to resist in front of gunpowder, but this dangerous weapon is man-made, and Zhu Han is leading the development of it. How can Zhu Yuanzhang not worry about Zhu Han's safety?

Moreover, what is Zhu Han studying now?
It's electricity!

Zhu Yuanzhang heard more than once when he was a child that lightning can kill people, and he has been marching and fighting for many years. Zhu Yuanzhang has also witnessed a towering giant tree split into two petals by lightning.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, such a powerful thunder and lightning is more terrifying than gunpowder. . . . . .

In any case, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want Zhu Han to encounter danger during his research.

The strong winds and waves have come out, and they did not die during the war.

Now in order to study a lightning that caused death, Zhu Yuanzhang could not accept it anyway.

Hearing the worries expressed in Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Han smiled and said to him: "Brother, it's not as dangerous as you imagined. The environment we live in is nature, and we are also a part of nature. There are many things in nature. We need to study things, such as the gold, silver and iron we use, these are gifts from nature, and we must find ways to use them.”

When Zhu Han said this, Zhu Yuanzhang believed it, but he didn't fully believe it. He felt that Zhu Han had weakened the danger encountered in the research, but he just didn't want to worry himself too much: "Qiwu, is it really not that dangerous?"

"..."

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's concern, Zhu Han was a little choked, but he still said very seriously: "Brother, there are indeed some dangers, but not many, at this stage, I can still control it, don't worry, brother, I There are still a lot of unfinished things, but it won’t be a small loss.”

"It's good to know."

Zhu Yuanzhang cannot do without Zhu Han, just like the world cannot lose Daming.

Zhu Han told the truth about the actual situation, which reassured Zhu Yuanzhang a lot, and then the two began to discuss other things: "Qiwu, can this communicator be connected to Yinzhou?"

"Theoretically, it is possible, but now our ability is still not up to this requirement. Brother, you have also seen that this kind of research currently exists in the theoretical stage. It can't even be done from Jishou to Yingtianfu. How can we do so? Far?"

"It's just that it can't be done temporarily, but it's not impossible to do it in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang is very confident, mainly because Zhu Han told him these things, and Zhu Han is doing these things. Zhu Han has created many surprises for him before, so Zhu Yuanzhang has reason to believe that this time is no exception :

"Let's wait a little longer, we will definitely see the communicator spread throughout Daming in the future."

He thought that once the communicator came out, he would be able to connect the entire Daming together.

When transmitting information, there is no need to rush for eight hundred miles, and the news can reach the ear in an instant.

Thinking that the things that changed the Ming Dynasty came from the craftsman camp, Zhu Yuanzhang’s understanding of craftsmen has reached a higher level. In the past, the generals of the Ming Dynasty conquered the world immediately, the civil servants dismounted to rule the world, and the common people turned their heads to the loess and their backs to the sky. Live, these are enough.

But now what?

The appearance of Zhu Han activated two other attributes: industry and commerce.

In Zhu Han's words: civil servants and military generals can represent the height of Ming Dynasty, common people farming can consolidate the foundation of Ming Dynasty, and industry and merchants can give Ming Dynasty two legs to run forward.

Scholars, farmers, commerce and industry have all taken advantage of it, which is enough for Daming to achieve a great leap forward.

The civil servants and generals have a high enough social status, the common people do not have high demands, they only need a peaceful farming environment, and the Ming Dynasty led the merchants to do business all over the world, only the craftsmen did not get what they contributed status.

Thinking of what Zhu Han said before, allowing craftsmen to obtain titles, Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought that only giving titles would be enough, but now it seems... not enough.

"These craftsmen have worked hard for my Ming Dynasty, and even risked their lives to conduct research. How can their contributions be measured only by titles?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and said to Zhu Han: "July [-]th, come to Jishou. We have seen the contributions made by the craftsmen here to Daming. They have made so many contributions. How can they be measured only by titles? We are going to give them titles At the same time, give them gold and silver, and encourage them to make contributions to Ming Dynasty."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Han nodded and said, "It's true, as my brother said, gold and silver should be used as rewards. After all, the titles of Daming are not just given. There are only so many titles. There are more wolves and less meat. It is true for gold and silver."

After a pause, Zhu Han continued: "Brother, the gold and silver can be given, but the land is not. Now that the population of our Daming is increasing, the land under our feet is not enough."

"Yes, what Qiwu said makes sense."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something, and said to Zhu Han: "There is one thing, we didn't worry about it at the time, but now we see it, some guys started to occupy and annex the land because of their meritorious service to Ming Dynasty. We need to find a chance to clean them up."

Land merger?

At the mention of these four words, Zhu Han's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

Needless to ask, it must have been done by those heroes who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, especially the first group of generals who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world. They were all from common people and had not read many books.

After becoming successful and famous, he also became smug, and did not take Daming's legal system seriously.

This matter... has to be done.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang cannot be allowed to do it.

"Brother, land annexation is an insurmountable red line, an iron law, and must not be touched by anyone."

In the matter of curbing land annexation, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang are on the same front.

However, the method of dealing with the problem is debatable.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, the people of Ming Dynasty are the first place. The military generals who followed him to fight the world, especially many generals were Zhu Yuanzhang's playmates when he was a child. They touched the laws of Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang may be lenient , but once it touches Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line, I'm sorry...it's hard for anyone!

After seeing what Zhu Han said, Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent, and immediately guessed what Zhu Han was thinking.

However, it is useless to keep silent about the important matters of the family and the country. When it is time to face it, you still have to face it: "Qi Wu, are you worried that after I kill the old brothers, people will be dissatisfied?"

"Worried, but not particularly worried."

Zhu Han told the truth, and said: "Those people need to be dealt with, but they don't have to be killed or exiled. Can we find a better way to solve it?"

But Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What can be done? Anyway, we can't think of it."

"Brother, even if you want to do this, you can't do it."

Zhu Han saw Zhu Yuanzhang's determination, so he thought of a solution to this matter.

It's just that this method is hard to think about.

Zhu Han also yelled in his heart: "These generals, why are they so ignorant until now? The civil servants are all doing business with Daming's caravan. Are you still thinking about the one-acre three-point land? Brainless stuff!"

After thinking about it, Zhu Han really thought of a good idea. He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked:

"Brother, let Biaoer do this, what do you think?"

"Biaoer?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.

Not to mention, it's a really good idea.

Zhu Biao is not young anymore, he can deal with many things, and just like in history, Zhu Yuanzhang placed great hopes on Zhu Biao, and gave Zhu Biao all the civil servants and military generals who fought with him to be his team In other words, if Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhu Biao could control the court, he could be the Supreme Emperor and hand over Daming to Zhu Biao to manage.

"There are people around Biao'er, many scribes and generals gathered around Biao'er, our old brothers are all very arrogant, if Biao'er wants to be emperor, he must convince these people, now we are still there, If Biaoer can't handle it well, we can give him the bottom line, and it can be regarded as giving him some experience and lessons, so as not to fall into the big pit when he gets the time."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Zhu Han had a good idea for him, so he gave him a thumbs up to show that Zhu Han had a good idea, but Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, throwing a hot potato to Biaoer will not put pressure on him." Small."

"Don't you often say that there is pressure to be motivated."

Zhu Yuanzhang said nonchalantly, "If Biaoer can't even do this well, how can he be the prince? When we were fighting, and what you are doing now, which one is not as dangerous as Biaoer?"

Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Han was no longer worried. Since Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Zhu Biao to practice, he might as well let him try.

Now there are Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han in Daming. With them, Zhu Biao has the cost of trial and error.

It was getting late, and as the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang had to go back to the palace as much as possible. He was very satisfied when he saw the intercom, but he still asked, "Are there any other inventions?"

If not, go home.

"Have."

Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Just like the telephone, it is a tool that can change the ecological environment of Daming. Brother, do you want to take a look?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Han paused for a moment, and said deliberately: "But it's too late, why don't we watch it tomorrow?"

"Since you're here, let's go after watching."

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart has been seduced by Zhu Han, how could he go back?

Besides, Zhu Han said that the tool he hadn't seen was as miraculous as a telephone, so he naturally had more expectations in his heart.

"Then let's go outside the city."

Zhu Han said with a smile, "This time, let's go see a big guy."

"big guy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was curious and followed Zhu Han out.

……

When he came outside the city, Zhu Yuanzhang saw two railway tracks, which were padded with hard wood and stones were laid underneath.

At the end of the railway track, there is a huge monster that Zhu Yuanzhang has never seen before...

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, it is more like a house.

The house is on rails, and there are round wheels.

Getting closer, Zhu Yuanzhang found that this was not just a 'house', but several connected behind it.

But the ones in the middle are plain cuboids, and the front and rear ends are 'houses' with chimneys.

This is what Zhu Han said, can something change Daming?No matter how you look at it, I don’t think so.

Zhu Yuanzhang was curious: "What is this?"

"train!"

Zhu Han answered immediately, and then said to him:

"Brother, what we see is the locomotive. There is also one behind it. One is pulling force and the other is pushing force, which pushes the train to move on the rails."

Something as big as a house moving on rails?
Zhu Yuanzhang felt unrealistic: "How many horses do you need to move?"

After a pause, Zhu Han continued:

"Brother, the train does not need to be pulled by horses, nor manpower, but... power!"

Zhu Han took Zhu Yuanzhang to the direction of the front of the car, explaining as he walked:

"This car uses fire to boil water, and then uses the steam generated by the boiling water to propel the train forward."

What Zhu Han said was very simple, but Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't believe it.

Zhu Yuanzhang has also heard the story of water dripping through stone, but it was day after day, year after year, but now Zhu Han said that boiling water can propel something bigger than a house forward, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel incredible.
