Ming Dynasty: The army is forcing the palace, you say that Lao Zhu faked his death

Of course, this waterway fee is for those who do not do business, and the price is even lower for those who pass through individually.

It only costs twenty coins, which is negligible for travel expenses.

Moreover, the collection of waterway fees is not fixed, but is a stepped fee.

Calculated from the distance from the departure port to the departure port, the closer the distance, the less the waterway toll.

On the contrary, the closer the distance, the higher the water toll.

However, they are all within the scope of personal tolerance.

Originally, Zhu Quan did not spend much money during the process of dredging rivers and building dams, and it could even be said that it cost zero.

Now, through the waterway tolls, I can earn it all back, not to mention, I still make a lot of money!

The water tolls may not seem like much, but they can’t afford to pay for small amounts many times!

As long as you do it enough times, the money will come in large quantities!

Seeing this news, the ministers felt dizzy and confused for a while.

Looking at the almost astronomical figures on the memorial, he became even more silent.

They had no idea that Prince Ning would dredge the waterway in such a short period of time.

What I didn't even expect was that Prince Ning would put away the tariff so quickly!

That's right, water tolls are actually tariffs in disguise.

In the past, other dynasties would collect taxes on passing ships along the Yellow River and Yangtze River.

However, after those dynasties collected taxes, the money basically still had to be spent on maintaining rivers.

How could someone like King Ning dredge the river and quickly collect taxes without spending a penny from the treasury?

The cost is almost zero, but the benefits can last for hundreds of years!

This is simply a hugely profitable deal!

Even the most calculating Minister of the Ministry of Finance has to admire Prince Ning's approach at this moment!

In vain, they study tax laws and try to collect as much tax revenue as possible from the land.

Who would have thought that King Ning would directly take out more money from the merchant's pocket!

For businessmen, although they have paid waterway fees, they still save costs compared to the past land route.

Even if the price of the goods sold remains the same as before, merchants can still make enough profits.

For ordinary people, it makes life more convenient and can buy the goods they want faster at the same price as before.

And the Ming Dynasty's treasury was filled a lot silently.

This is simply a win-win result for all three parties!

Even someone like Guan Zhong, who was good at economic warfare, had to admit that Prince Ning's talent was superior to his own.

In addition to the excerpts of these reports, there are also memorials from local officials who invariably mentioned that the people now particularly love the mythical beasts under Zhu Quan.

It is said that the hard-working mythical beast has become quite popular among the people.

Many people have already inquired about the origin of Prince Ning's mythical beast.

Local officials asked whether they should cut off this trend among the people?

The content on this brochure is even more incomprehensible.

These officials who have lived in Yingtian for a long time have never seen the excavator at all.

It was only in the descriptions of local officials that we could get a glimpse of what method King Ning used to dig the waterway.

It turned out to be some kind of magical beast?

According to the descriptions of people who have seen it with their own eyes, the beast loves the soil.

Therefore, the people gave this beast a nickname,"earth-eating beast".

The ministers present looked at the description of the earth-eating beast in the memorial, and the more they looked at it, the more something seemed wrong.

They had never seen such a beast.

Earth-eating beast?

Are there such strange animals?

Even people like Guan Zhong who lived thousands of years ago had never heard of such a magical species.

However, no matter what, according to the descriptions in these excerpts, this species is real.

And it is so powerful that no matter how big the clod of soil is, it can be eaten into its mouth. (If you want to read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

This earth-eating beast doesn't like to rest, and can work non-stop.

I just sometimes drink some strange liquids to stay alive.

When the ministers saw these descriptions, they felt magical on the one hand and reasonable on the other.

How can any animal work without sleep?

Won't he die from exhaustion?

But there is some truth in this absurdity.

If he hadn't worked tirelessly, how could he have dug all the river channels in such a short period of time?

But why is it Prince Ning?

Before King Ning, they had never heard of this species.

Not to mention seeing it before and investing it in the construction of the country.

Even the most reliable rumor, that elephants can roll up wood with their trunks to help people build houses, is just a legend.

In reality, has anyone seen such a thing?

It just so happens that there really is such a species now, and it even appeared specifically to help King Ning...

0I heard that they also obeyed King Ning's orders very much.

To Prince Ning, he was like an arm in command.[]

At this time, many ministers thought of the death of King Yan Zhu Di and the survival of Zhu Quan.

The two encountered the same situation that day, but one died and the other was safe.

While they deeply felt the impermanence of fate, they also believed that Prince Ning was the destined one.

Now, the anomalies in reality have given them the idea that this is indeed the case.

If Prince Ning was not the one destined by destiny, how could he do such a thing?

Is there even such an unusual animal coming to help?

No matter how you think about it, this is not something ordinary people can do!

In fact, the people even felt that they felt the same way when they praised King Ning!

The ministers had to digest the shock brought by King Ning for many days before they accepted the reality.

On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang and Jiang Yu were even more shocked by what they saw!

The story begins with Zhu Yuanzhang and Jiang Yu leaving the underground palace and heading to Peking.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang was old, Jiang Yu used thickened wheels in order to make the journey as realistic as possible.

The furnishings inside the carriage were even more thickly padded.

He was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would feel uncomfortable while driving.

Even so, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has not suffered from long distances for many years, still couldn't withstand the bumpy feeling on the 2.5.

Jiang Wei was afraid that he would fall ill due to overwork.

So it was almost a stop-and-go situation along the way.

In the meantime, Zhu Yuanzhang also fell ill.

Jiang Wei was so frightened that he immediately spent a lot of money to seek medical advice.

After a month of continuous treatment, Zhu Yuanzhang's body recovered as before.

Jiang Wei earnestly advised Zhu Yuanzhang to go back, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who had committed such a serious crime on the way, refused.

How could he be willing to go back dejected when he had suffered the sin and gained nothing in the end?!

Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on continuing to Peking.

Jiang Wei had no choice but to tell Zhu Yuanzhang that Ning Wang Zhu Quan had left Peiping along the road in order to dredge the river.

I thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would give up after saying this, but he didn't expect that he would still demand and continue to pursue me!.
