So the money went around in circles, being used to build schools and clinics, and eventually returned to the imperial court in the form of tuition and medical fees. The money itself remained the same, and perhaps it could have even earned more.

But things have been done, development has been achieved, and good infrastructure has been provided for the people. Isn't that wonderful?

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized.

He understood Zhu Yunwen's meaning, and then spoke:

"So our floral water and bicycle industry are just selling things, just providing some help for people's travel and daily life.

Even this kind of help isn't the most important thing. You mean we should spend the money on the most important areas like education and healthcare, which would not only bring some return?

It also ensures that these two things are available to ordinary people. It improves overall healthcare and education levels, right?

Zhu Yunwen said with a smile:

"Grandpa Emperor understands immediately. That's exactly what I meant. For a country to become strong, education is indispensable."

And healthcare is absolutely the most fundamental and crucial element. If these two things are in place, perhaps nothing else matters.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought it over carefully before saying:

"The idea is good, but it may not be easy to implement. Of course, it's not a big problem if it's only implemented in the capital, but it's a long way to go if it's to be promoted nationwide."

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said:

“That’s good. Then let’s use the capital as a pilot site and set up the school and medical clinic we just mentioned here. If it’s successful, we can expand it to the whole country. If it fails, there won’t be any major losses.”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen, then said seriously:

"If Yunwen wants to do it, then do it. Your Majesty, I have no objections."

Zhu Yunwen smiled and nodded, then took a deep breath.

Yes, there are many things in this world that are difficult to do, but how can we do them without trying?

Now that he has become the crown prince, the future Ming Dynasty will belong to him.

Building up the Ming Dynasty was quite an accomplishment.
