Prince of Chaos

Chapter 264 Zhu Changluo's Bottom Line
The bustling cement patent bidding activity has finally begun.

At this time, Zhu Changluo has retired, and he doesn't need to participate in all aspects of this matter.He has already started this matter, and the rest can be left to his subordinates.

The important thing is that he can keep abreast of the latest trends in this matter and keep the overall method unchanged.

After finishing this matter, Zhu Changluo had more important things to do. He first went to the cabinet and the chief assistant of the cabinet, Shen Shixing, to chat about his thoughts.

Now Shen Shixing almost unconditionally supports all of Zhu Changluo's ideas, because he understands that the biggest reason why he can return to the position of chief assistant is because of the acquiescence and support of the crown prince.

Otherwise, even if Emperor Wanli thought about him again, he would still be kicked out in the end.

"Mr. Shen, Chang Luo has an immature idea and wants to chat with you."

After Zhu Changluo saw Shen Shixing, the two took advantage of their lunch break to talk in the ear room next to the cabinet.

Shen Shixing sat opposite Zhu Changluo, and he said with a little respect: "Please speak, Your Highness."

Zhu Changluo said: "What does Mr. Shen think of this cooperation between the Palace and the Ministry of Industry?"

Shen Shixing thought for a while, and then said: "The pen is a stroke of genius, and the old minister admires it."

Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "Mr. Shen praised and killed Chang Luo. These are the wise decisions of the father, and Chang Luo has the opportunity."

Shen Shixing said along the way: "My emperor is a holy man. Since the emperor came to the throne, Daming has been a image of Zhongxing. I see it in my eyes and feel happy in my heart. It is my luck to be able to contribute to the emperor and His Royal Highness. It is my honor."

Listening to Shen Shixing's words was tiring, and there was no nutritious sentence after going around a lot. However, after thinking about Shen Shixing's ups and downs in office for decades, it is understandable to develop this kind of speaking problem.After all, Zhu Changluo has almost developed this habit over the years, and he likes to talk around corners.

Thinking of this, Zhu Changluo felt that he should kill this trend.Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time to talk about the problem without talking about the essence in the future?
It was better when Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu were in their prime. They wrote imperial edicts almost entirely in vernacular, so straightforward.

Although, it was sprayed as uneducated and muddy legs by the useless literati of later generations.However, when people are in power, they always get things done.What's more, they are still arbitrarily determined, and no one dares to shake them in the slightest.

Zhu Changluo is really envious of this. If he also has such prestige, then when he does things, he will definitely not be so timid and compromise.

After expressing all these, Zhu Changluo said: "Mr. Shen, this time I decided to release the cement formula of Xishan Huangzhuang in the form of a patent, considering the future cement demand of Ming Dynasty. I am the prince, the prince, and do things. You can't only care about your own gains and losses. However, after releasing the cement formula, Bengong is faced with another problem."

Shen Shixing listened to Zhu Changluo's words, and he also nodded secretly.Indeed, to announce such a hugely profitable unique business to the public, Shen Shixing asked himself, he didn't have the courage.Even Shen Shixing thought that even Emperor Wanli would not have such courage.

The only one who can have such boldness is the crown prince in front of him who cares about the world, who is neither happy with things nor sad with himself.

Thinking of this, Shen Shixing felt that having this prince was a blessing to Ming Dynasty!

Shen Shixing said: "If your Highness has any problems, if you need a veteran, I will do my best to serve Your Highness and die."

Zhu Changluo looked at Shen Shixing who was so serious, and Zhu Changluo said: "Mr. Shen is serious. I just thought of the growing capital and Xishan Huangzhuang. Although they seem to be prosperous, the problems are actually very serious. Among them, the largest The problem is the lack of manpower.”

"If the cement industrial park is officially launched, according to the conditions set by the palace, it is estimated that there will be forty cement workshops in the industrial park, each of which needs to hire 3000 workers. These forty factories, each with 3000 workers People, that is, 12 people. If, after counting each worker, there is a family of five, it means that Xishan Huangzhuang needs 60 people to meet the current employment needs. However, the palace from the imperial court According to the information obtained by Heshuntian Mansion, there are only a million people in the capital. The million people are really too few. Therefore, I hope that the cabinet will come forward to this matter, and then send an order to North Zhili, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places , to allow the landless people and the anonymous households to come to the capital with their families to supplement the population of the capital. Of course, this cannot be done overnight, but it needs to be done step by step. I don’t know if Mr. Shen can help the palace to enrich Capital?"

Zhu Changluo really thought about this population migration plan for a long time. Although Beijing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the population here is really too small.

Although the problem of anonymous households in Daming is very serious, no matter how many anonymous households there are, there must be a number.Just like the anonymous households near Beijing, according to Zhu Changluo's investigations and estimates over the years, there are about three to four million people.

Even if all these 400 million people are mobilized, it is still a drop in the bucket for a large city that is about to develop.Moreover, it is impossible for these populations to fully enrich the capital, and most of them still have to be scattered in various places around the capital. Otherwise, in the end, when there are too many people in the capital, the surrounding area of ​​the capital will decline.

Zhu Changluo still didn't want to see this.

Shen Shixing didn't expect Zhu Changluo's question to be so big.The population issue has always been an issue that Daming dare not open up, because the intertwined interests are too great.

In particular, the existence of anonymous households is the lifeblood of landlords and powerful landlords everywhere, and it is precisely because of the existence of these anonymous households that they can indulge in extravagance and wantonly squeeze the poor productivity of ordinary people at the bottom.

However, now, if the capital wants to develop, this is an unstoppable trend. Whoever dares to oppose it will be the enemy of the nobles of the capital.Therefore, Shen Shihang had to struggle with this issue for a while.

Shen Shixing took a sip of tea silently, and then said: "Mr. Rong thinks about it. This matter is of great importance. I don't dare to take it lightly. How about replying to Your Highness after discussing with the other two elders?"

Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "Everything depends on what Mr. Shen wants."

Looking at Shen Shixing who was so preoccupied and immediately, Zhu Changluo shook his head slightly and sighed, "Our good man still doesn't have enough courage. If Zhang Taiyue was around, they would definitely take action immediately. However, these two people are too strong It’s too personal, it’s not as easy to use as Shen Shihang.”

This is Zhu Changluo's current evaluation of Shen Shixing. Although his ability is not as good as that of Zhang Juzheng Gaogong, he is obedient!Based on this alone, Shen Shixing is ten thousand times stronger than Zhang Juzheng.

After all, Zhu Changluo is also a very controlling person, he doesn't need another person to stand up and express his ideas.If there is such a person, either he can know how to hide his edge, or he can only blame him for being born at the wrong time.

There is no way to get to this point, and it's not that Zhu Changluo can't tolerate others.It is because, if a country wants to develop well and have a bright future, it must only have one core, one helmsman.

The rest of the people can offer opinions and suggestions, but they cannot make decisions. This is Zhu Changluo's bottom line!
