Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Liu Bowen smiled and said nothing.

Chu Ze walked over and sat down next to Liu Bowen.

As soon as he sat down, Chu Ze began to complain.

"Master Liu, you don't know, the emperor has posed a big problem for us."

Liu Bowen asked: "What is the problem? If the prince is relieved, why not tell him and see if we can help the prince share his worries."

Chu Ze didn't know if Liu Bowen was just being polite.

But his words immediately inspired Chu Ze.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen was stunned by him.

"what happened?"

Is there anything wrong with what he said?

Liu Bowen subconsciously thought about what he had just said.

no problem.

At least Liu Bowen didn't realize anything was wrong.

But Chu Ze's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Then we won't be polite."

He got up, ran to Liu Bowen with a chair, sat down next to him, and told Liu Bowen again the difficult problem Zhu Yuanzhang had posed for him: "You also know that we proposed to build trains and railways in the court, but were rejected by the Minister of Household Affairs. Refuted. The emperor told us that if we want the plan to go in successfully, we must have money."

When Chu Ze said this, Liu Bowen had already roughly guessed something.

It's nothing more than letting Chu Ze make money.

But how does Chuze get money?

For such a big project, even if Chu Ze himself is sold, it won't be enough, right?

Chu Ze continued: "The emperor asked us to think of ways to fill the empty treasury. As long as the treasury has money, building railways and building trains is not a problem."

Liu Bowen said "Oh" and realized that he had thought wrong.

He thought he was asking Chu Ze to come up with the money.

It turned out that Chu Ze was asked to find a way to make money.

The emperor's treatment of Chu Ze is really extraordinary.

Even though it was like this, I didn't even think about asking Chu Ze, a corrupt official, to take out the money.

Liu Bowen didn't like corrupt officials.

Chu Ze is an exception.

Other corrupt officials are greedy and bad.

Chu Ze is greedy, but not bad.

He still works hard for the country and the people every day.

This also makes his tolerance for Chu Ze much higher than other corrupt officials.

This is also the reason why he is willing to associate with Chu Ze.

How could Chu Ze know that Liu Bowen had thought so much just for a moment.

All he knew was that when he told the difficult problem, Liu Bowen just said "oh" and said nothing more...

How can this work?
"Master Liu, you have always been known as the smartest person in the Ming Dynasty. Please think of a way to deal with this matter." Chu Ze asked.

Liu Bowen came to his senses from deep thought.

He glanced at Chu Ze, thought for a while, and said: "Well... there are not no ways."

"Then tell me quickly."

Chu Ze showed an expression asking for advice.

Liu Bowen said: "Actually, for this matter, as long as the prince sells a few of the things he makes. For example, iron boats, bicycles, amusement parks, attractions, etc., as time goes by, these will begin Profitability and filling the national treasury is not a problem. In addition, there are inventions, and those inventions cost a lot of money. If we can’t afford this money, we can let others do it.”

At this point, the thin film in Chu Ze's mind was suddenly opened.

Inspiration flows out like a fountain.

He interrupted Liu Bowen, clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, Mr. Liu is right, we can definitely sponsor."

If there is a shortfall in research and development, then we can raise it from the private sector.

Adding up many inventions will naturally cost a lot.

But if the same thing is separated, it will be much less.

There are also wealthy people among the people. He discouraged these people and asked them to use their money to provide scientific research.

The money is not free.

As long as it is successful, the name of the person who contributed the money will be written in the R&D sponsorship column.

Let the other person experience the feeling of turning back with glory.

In this way, the money for research and development does not have to come out of the national treasury, research and development will not be affected, and the person who paid the money will still have a good reputation.

Simply kill three birds with one stone.

In this way, a lot of money in the treasury can be saved.

"But it's still not enough." Chu Zegang was happy for a while, then frowned again, "Whether it's building a train or laying a railway, it will require a lot of investment in the early stage. This money is simply not enough to support it." Even if the national treasury has just been filled, once the After a few actions, it will be empty again.

Liu Bowen also thought of it.

He said: "Haven't we done all our business overseas? How about we do business on a bigger scale and do business in the name of the country? Our Ming Dynasty is rich in resources and people, and we have many specialties, so we can sell these things. Isn’t it another big source of money?”

When Chu Ze heard this, he burst into laughter.

Liu Bowen was so confused by his laughter.

"Why, doesn't this method work?" Liu Bowen asked.

Chu Ze smiled and waved his hand: "It's not impossible, we just think you are too conservative."

Since you want to do business, you have to go big.

What's the point of selling some specialties?
Chu Ze has already thought of what to sell.

But he did not tell Liu Bowen, but smiled mysteriously: "Buddha said, it cannot be said."

Liu Bowen: "..." That's not what you said when you asked us about our idea just now.

But Chu Ze didn’t say anything, and Liu Bowen didn’t force it.

He took the initiative to change the topic.

"The prince asked us to come to the house after the court. Is there something wrong?"

Chu Ze was about to speak when he spotted the butler returning from the corner of his eye.

He signaled Liu Bowen to wait.

"Come in," he said to the butler.

The housekeeper immediately walked to Chu Ze.

"Sir, we've found the thing. Do you think it's this?" The housekeeper handed a small box to Chu Ze.

It was the small box with red and black floral patterns that Chu Ze asked him to find.

Chu Ze took it and opened it to take a look.

"Yes, that's it. You go down." After sending the butler away, Chu Ze handed the box to Liu Bowen. He didn't even close the lid and handed it over directly, "Look, what is this."

Liu Bowen's heart was full of questions.

Why was Chu Ze thinking about bringing him something?

It seems that his relationship with Chu Ze is not close yet, right?

Regardless, he decided to see what it was.

Liu Bowen took the box.

The box was not the gold and silver jewelry that Liu Bowen thought, but a layer of thin, round seeds.

The seeds are dark brown with some spots on them.

"what is this?"

Liu Bowen picked up one, but didn't see what it was.

Chu Ze sat back in his chair proudly, smiling beamingly: "What does Mr. Liu want to get most recently?"

What you want most?

Liu Bowen thought for a while and immediately thought: "Mandala!"

"Smart!" Chu Ze almost applauded Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen looked at the seeds in his hand with surprise on his face and felt incredible in his heart.

He said he wanted mandala seeds last time, but he didn't expect Chu Ze to find them for him so quickly.

The corners of Liu Bowen's mouth couldn't stop rising.

After a while, he asked: "Your Majesty, where did you find this thing?" He had been looking for it for a long time, looking everywhere he could, but couldn't find it. (End of chapter)
