"I leave all matters at sea to you!" Zhu Di entrusted Zheng He with an important task.
Zheng He's eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
After comforting Zheng He, Zhu Di turned his gaze to Zhu Gaochi beside him.
After learning that he had missed a good opportunity by stopping the project of sailing to the West, Zhu Gaochi received his father's "careful care". Now, feeling his father's gaze, he lowered his head and curled up into a round ball.
The key point is that he really thinks this Western project is too expensive!
But he was unwilling to miss such an era of navigation.
distressed.
Zhu Di quickly looked away, not wanting to look at this annoying son.
"Firearms were already being used quite frequently during the Yuan and Ming dynasties. With further improvements and development, your navy's strength will basically be no problem.
Of course, this Yuan Dynasty is limited to the period of Kublai Khan, so forget about the ones after that.”
Yongle Emperor Zhu Di: [What about the Air Force?]
He also envied the fighter planes flying in the sky in later generations.
"Your Majesty, Yongle, have you completed the heavy factory? Then you should think about the air force. Things that fly in the sky have extremely high requirements, whether it is the precision of the instruments or the selection of personnel.
It's easier to build a navy if you have the foundation and the talent in place, but the air force has to be built from scratch. You can make preparations first, and then develop it generation by generation. Ultimately, it still comes down to various talents and spending money on research.
Yes, a reminder, any research you do will burn money, especially money. Even if I could just give you a backdoor and throw blueprints at you, it would still burn money. If you have nothing, it would burn even more money. Different situations in different dynasties require different plans."
All dynasties had prepared for the issue of burning money, and Zhou Jia's emphasis on it made them feel uneasy again.
While they were pondering, Zhou Jia muttered to himself, "Your dynasty has quite a lot of talents, but it might be a bit late to talk about them. I'll make a list for you later and you can find people yourself. We'll talk about the details later."
Qin Shi Huangdi: [How much money do you invest every year?]
Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: [I just want to know how much money your treasury has now.]
"That's too much. The 22-year funding report for various types of funds has exceeded 3 trillion yuan, including enterprises, universities, various institutions, etc. I remember that this year, the 2024 budget for military spending is 1.66 trillion yuan, and the navy, army, and air force are crying poor again.
As for the national treasury, the economy hasn't been doing well in recent years due to the pandemic, but it's been recovering. I looked at the revenue and expenditure figures for the first quarter of 2024, and basically all aspects are showing growth...
Our current money is different from your silver. If we really want to compare, we have to exchange it for the same. Don't compare with us. Our various industries are flourishing and we earn a lot. If you earn more, you can also use more."
The comments exploded again.
Chinese
Liu Che thought he might be out of his mind. Why was he asking such a question and humiliating himself?
Although the currency is different, the number still makes me feel sour when I hear it.
Trillion.
Trillion!
He didn't even dare to think about ten thousand, let alone one trillion.
How much money would that be?
Sang Hongyang was so excited that he almost cried. He really wanted to rush in and shake Zhou Jia to ask how they made so much money!
bright
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi and immediately put on a smile, "Boss——"
Zhu Pangpang's chubby body trembled, and he stammered, "Dad, Dad, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly... You're so scary."
The two younger brothers behind him also nodded slightly and took a step back together.
His father called him the eldest, not the second or third.
It's none of their business.
Zhu Zhanji, who stood beside Zhu Di with a well-behaved face, said: ...
Zhu Di put away his smile, returned to his usual expressionless look, and spoke sternly.
"Look at what you, the crown prince, have become! Lose some weight while you have time.
You heard what Zhou Jia said, right? Your father, I don't want you to do the same as later generations with trillions. Just drop the word "billion" and "ten thousand" will do. It would be best if we could double Zhou Jia's number."
Zhu Gaochi staggered, this was going to cost him his life!
Zhu Di quickly said, "Big Brother, I trust you. The second and third brothers are not capable of this, so you have to do it!"
For the first time, Zhu Gaochi's two annoying brothers nodded at the same time.
right.
The boss still has to come!
Only their father could come up with such a crazy number.
However, emperors like Liu Che were more curious about the virus that Zhou Jia mentioned.
【Virus? 】
Zhou Jia briefly explained the severity of the situation in the past few years, but did not explain to them how united everyone was.
The people sighed.
It turns out that even a wealthy country like the later generations also faced such crises. However, the later generations were obviously luckier than them. Their strong infrastructure was enough for them to deal with various emergencies, but they obviously cannot do so now.
"As I said, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. The most basic things still need to be done, and they must be done well. Don't think that those things are just a waste of money. The benefits they will bring you later will far exceed your imagination!"
Zhou Jia's words naturally made Ying Zheng think of Zheng State. Zheng State was ordered to build a canal to weaken Qin State, but the King of Qin still ordered him to build the Zhengguo Canal. It was completed after ten years and irrigated the granary. Since then, Guanzhong has been fertile.
The construction of Zhengguo Canal consumed a lot of manpower and financial resources, and there were complaints from all walks of life in Qin State, but now everyone praises it.
The most important thing is not how much food and money he has consumed at the moment, but how much profit these things can bring in the future. This is the most important thing. If he only cares about the small profits in front of him, he is destined to go nowhere.
