Zhu Youxiao said, "After all, these people are selfish."

"I just want to enclose the people in my own farm and farm, and I hope that the people will never know the outside world! I don't want the country to be strong and the people are rich, I just want to be able to make a fortune secretly, and I only have business, no responsibility, no profit or harm, and I am not afraid of invasion by foreign forces. If it invades, just change the tablet and burn incense like Yan Shenggong."

"But even though they refuse to change, it does not mean that this era will not change. Humans will sooner or later build steam engines, and their tenants will be taken away and become workers sooner or later."

"Fortunately, I and my court did not tie the people to the land like them, nor did they ignore the people who went to sea, enlighten the people's wisdom and make science and technology come from China, so that they can annex the world, restore the great cause of Qin, and capture the wealth of the world!"

"However, because it is the emperor and the court that dominates all this, the phenomenon that follows is that the official industry has made rapid progress, the world's wealth is concentrated in the national treasury, cutting-edge technology is also concentrated in the official factories, and senior technical talents are also concentrated in the official business. The private business is becoming weaker and weaker. There is no competition in technology, no competition in funds, and no influence in the official world can be compared!"

"It can be said that from the moment they were selfish and had no national and national concepts, it was inevitable that the country would be strong and they would be weak now!"

"It is indeed not true that the common people only know how to live their own life!"

Zhang Daodi said and asked, "But the court is like his parents, why not be more polite and benefit the people of the world and make the people in the world richer?"

"Didn't the Ming Dynasty gave them enough favorable treatment?"

"In the past, gentry was exempted from regulations. Even now, those who are willing to operate industries in a solid manner and develop technology with peace of mind, when did the imperial court invest millions or tens of millions of taels of silver? But what was the result? Until now, few well-known private manufacturing giants have appeared. They only know how to use money to speculate and make quick money, but they didn't think about investing more money in technology research and development! Now, they still think that the imperial court does not give enough money, and they think that the imperial court cannot settle accounts. Regardless of whether it is cost-effective or not, they will build bridges and roads everywhere!"

"It's ridiculous! This money was earned by the court, what does it have to do with them."

Zhu Youxiao said that, then looked at Min Xuancheng again: "Min Xuancheng, tell your masters that they are greedy for the national treasury, so they can directly pull up an army to grab it! Otherwise, they will not be able to make the decision if the national treasury is spent!"

"Your Majesty! I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty, not a lackey. Your Majesty's words make me feel ashamed! Woo woo!"

Min Xuancheng started crying.

Zhu Youxiao ignored Min Xuancheng anymore and left the hall directly.

As for how to deal with people like Min Xuancheng, naturally there is no need for the emperor, as he, to take action personally.

...

"He really said that?"

Zuo Jingzu, a wealthy businessman in Suzhou, asked Wu Nandai who came to see him in disappointment.

Wu Nandai nodded and said, "The emperor not only rejected your ideas, but also sent you to the wrong ones."

"Can we blame us?!"

"How could we think of any way to get more wealth without relying on land? We don't know that there can be greater benefits without tying those untiety to the land!"

Zuo Jingzu was furious and frustrated.

"That's it! The foolish people are a skill that has been tried and tested in all dynasties! Using this technique can exchange for a hundred or even two hundred years of peace. This is a fact recorded in history. We did not expect that the foolish people will make ourselves stupid and conservative in the end!"

Hu Tan, a wealthy businessman in Suzhou, also argued.

Zuo Jingzu continued to ask, "What else did he say?"

"He said that it has actually helped you a lot, but you are not good at it. You just want to speculate and make quick money, and you are unwilling to work hard on scientific research. Now you deserve it if you compete in the official business! You are really greedy for the national treasury and can directly pull up an army to grab it."

Wu Nandai replied.

Zuo Jingzu was quite depressed after hearing this.

"Listen, this is like something said by a decent person? It's simply a messy word, so chaotic that it can't be more messy!"

Hu Tan also clenched his fists and shouted, "If we have the ability to rob it clearly, do you still need to teach us?"

"Scientific research, scientific research, and scientific research!"

"If it weren't for him, how could he have been able to enter the great hall of elegance and become the most admired knowledge for the time being!"

"First it was a steam engine and then an internal combustion engine. He was not satisfied. Now he spent a lot of money to build a better plane! How much does he have to develop technology to be satisfied!"

"It can be said that the failure to control the people with the art of fooling people is because of him!"

"The ancestors were afraid that they were not as knowledgeable as him, and they did not know the consequences of opening the sea to develop science and technology. They just didn't want to break the noble status of Confucian scholars because of this. What's hateful is that the ancestors could not stop him back then, so that today's Ming Dynasty is not ours."

Zuo Jingzu also started to complain.

"It's useless to say this now. There's so much money. I heard that gold is worth 100 million taels. How can I see them turning into railways, roads and bridges? I still have to find a way to keep this wealth hidden among the people!"

Wu Nandai couldn't help but say something.

Zuo Jingzu and Hu Dan and other wealthy Suzhou businessmen nodded.

"In my opinion, I can only start from him, but I can't try to convince him anymore, but we should let him be controlled mentally!"

Suddenly, Zuo Jingzu had a clever inspiration.

Hu Dan and Wu Nandai asked in unison: "How to control it."

"I know a chemistry master. He made a water agent that is extremely pleasant after injection but also produces a very serious dependency! We can find a way to inject this water agent into him, so that he can indulge in this medicine from now on and control it for us!"

Zuo Jingzu said.

"This is a solution. The question is, how can I inject it into him? He is the 195th Lord. It is difficult for ordinary people to get close to him, let alone get an injection on him."

Wu Nandai replied.

"I thought of a way."

Hu said at this time.

Zuo Jingzu and Wu Nandai both looked at him.

Hu Tan asked in a low voice: "You must know Master Hua from Wuxi?"

Zuo Jingzu and Wu Nandai both nodded.

"It just so happened that I met the third young master from Taishi Hua's mansion. Since Your Majesty has come to Jiangnan, I must go and see Taishi Hua's."

Hu Dan replied.

"you mean?"

Wu Nandai suddenly realized and asked half a question.

"That's right!"

Hu Tan has understood what he meant.

"Then do this! And you have to hurry up and control Master Hua first!"

Zuo Jingzu also understood and said.

"Well, it is still hard to say whether this matter will be successful or not. The key is whether you can control the third master of Hua first and make him willing to give the Grand Master Hua. If this can be done, this matter will become three points; if the Grand Master Hua is successfully given, this matter will become five points; if the Grand Master Hua is controlled by us and is willing to obey our mercy, it will become seven points."

When Wu Nandai said this, Zuo Jingzu added: "If Master Hua is willing to use needles on the emperor, he will be eighty-point sure."

“Worth a try!”

Wu Nandai slapped the table and replied.

"Well, if the last two points fail, it is nothing more than the emperor who does not trust Tai Shi Hua. He doesn't know what the water agent is, Tai Shi Hua must not dare to admit it."

Zuo Jingzu replied.

...

"Your Majesty, where are you going next? I will make arrangements."

Humble Administrator's Garden.

Du Yinxi came to Zhu Youxiao to inquire about this day.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "Go to Wuxi."

"Your Majesty is going to see Master Hua?"

Du Yinxi quickly understood and confirmed it.

Zhu Youxiao ordered his head.

The older you are, the more nostalgic you are.

Zhu Youxiao is no exception.

He now is willing and want to meet the ministers who chose to support him when he was young and would rather be called treacherous by people of the same class, and those elderly ministers who have now had to retire because they are older than him.

These people are also considered like-minded friends for Zhu Youxiao.

People have a need for friendship.

Even if Zhu Youxiao was the emperor, he could not avoid the common people.

And he wanted to meet Hua Yuncheng even if he came to this world, one of the few "old friends".

Zhu Youxiao naturally wanted to meet him.

Of course, regardless of personal friendship, Zhu Youxiao also needs to see him as the heavy industry base located in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which is now located in the world's first heavy industry base and has millions of heavy industry technical talents.

Zhu Youxiao knew that although scholars and officials read books of sages since childhood, it was difficult to truly serve the country and the people.

Therefore, he has always been generous in rewarding what he really did.

It was probably a first-rank official title like the Taishi who could only be granted a title after his death.

When he was the emperor, as long as he made great contributions, he could get the first-rank official title during his lifetime.

But civil officials basically only received such a rare honor as the Grand Tutor after resignation.
