Ming Dynasty: The army is forcing the palace, you say that Lao Zhu faked his death

The captives are all living by grass and water, where do they know how to build dams and other delicate work?

Zhu Quan thinks that it doesn't matter, he can't learn.

Under the pressure of life and death, human potential can still learn a lot.

As for the craftsmen, that's even easier to find.

A random craftsman from the city can teach them.

He didn't even need to work hard, he remembered that there were many craftsmen in Zhu Di's house, and he could use them directly.

The money used by these people can be filled with the small treasury that Zhu Di has secretly hidden.

Zhu Di has saved a lot of money in recent years in order to rebel.

In addition to this money, Zhu Quan also captured all the cattle and sheep of the Warat and Tatar tribes~.

Those cattle and sheep alone are a huge fortune, even if they are made into rations, they can be fed by Zhu Quan's people for a year or two.

As soon as Zhu Quan gave the order, those soldiers acted vigorously and resolutely, and directly sent those prisoners and craftsmen to the Tonghui River.

In fact, there was originally a lock and dam near the Tonghui River, but it was in disrepair and not very effective.

So, they need to repair and reinforce those dilapidated places.

The work was not difficult, and the captives listened to the instructions of the craftsmen and mastered the work in only two days.

Zhu Quan also met a craftsman named Ma Jie through this incident.

This person had built a dam before, and it was originally recruited by Zhu Di to build a dam.

Unexpectedly, I didn't wait for the treasury to allocate money, and I didn't start work without money.

So the matter was put on hold.

I didn't expect to wait and wait, I didn't wait for Zhu Di to give an order, but waited for Zhu Quan.

Zhu Quan saw that Na Majie was capable, and directly handed over the matter of the dam to him to arrange.

He took the excavators to the downstream river and continued to dredge.

Of course, those puppets work very consciously and do not need to be supervised at all.

For Zhu Quan, he followed the past, not just to keep track of the progress of the project.

More importantly, it is necessary to clean up those corrupt officials along the road.

And then there are the other vassal brothers who are ready to move.

Zhu Quan has not forgotten that in addition to Zhu Di, the king of Yan, there are also those vassal kings that Zhu Yunwen cleaned up before, and there are other vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Quan had already intended to remove the power of these vassal kings.

However, as soon as it comes up, it is necessary to take a few people to catch the typical.

Now is a great time.

So, Zhu Quan went all the way south, accompanied by the vassal kings everywhere all the way to the horse.

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, and it is already the season of early summer.

The river along the road has been almost trimmed, and more than half of the Grand Canal is navigable.

The rest is the finishing touches.

Even so, this speed is already a god speed!

You must know that in ancient times, it took hundreds of thousands of people to build a river, and it would take several years to build it.

And now, such a short period of time has passed, and the people used by Zhu Quan are not even a thousand, let alone the treasury money, and the river has been repaired!

How can this not be shocking?!

When the news reached Ying Tianfu, those ministers almost dropped their jaws one by one!

"Master Guan, you just said that the Grand Canal has been repaired?"

"Is this a mistake in the news you received? It's only been two months, and it will take at least ten years for the river to be completed!"

In the face of the doubts of the ministers, Guan Zhong also felt helpless.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have carefully confirmed with His Royal Highness King Ning, there is no so-called mistake, His Royal Highness King Ning has indeed completed the dredging of most of the river. "

"The dredged river is even navigable. "

Guan Zhong took out the folds sent by officials from various places and handed them to the ministers.

The ministers were shocked, and one by one they followed the folds and looked through them.

Because Zhu Quan was in the process of dredging the river, many corrupt officials were found along the road. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Zhu Quan, who has always been the master of the same, should behead them.

As a result, officials everywhere are now much more honest.

After Zhu Quan's request, the folds sent were exempted from many redundant words and described more serious things.

Most of the things told in those thick stacks revolve around one thing.

That's the river channel that was recently dredged.

Since the river was repaired by Zhu Quan, the traffic between the north and the south has been much easier.

Originally, it took three or four days to travel by land, but it can be reached in less than a day by water.

This made the merchants of the north and south simply crazy!

With such a fast speed, doesn't it make their business better?

0 begging for flowers

Merchants are eager to make two more trips on the water to make their goods faster!

Now, things that were originally only produced in the south or north can be quickly distributed to various places by water.

The economy has been revitalized all at once!

And this waterway Zhu Quan is not for them to use in vain.

Zhu Quan set up official signs at various wharves and ports. []

Anyone who wants to enter the wharf to dock must pay a waterway fee once.

The amount of the waterway fee depends on the amount of goods.

The more goods, the more waterway fees.

However, on the whole, this is not much compared to the money saved by switching from land to water.

Most of the merchants paid obediently.

There are a few people who want to take advantage of loopholes, and Zhu Quan will not get used to them.

Zhu Quan set up a heavy garrison at every port and wharf.

As long as you find other ships that do not dock through the regular docks, they will attack directly with artillery!

It doesn't matter what cargo is on board, and it doesn't matter who owns the ship.

Those cannons are very powerful.

At the beginning, he was able to punch a hole in the city wall with one shot, let alone hit the ship.

Basically, it can sink a ship with a single shot!

At the beginning, there was a big boat that tried to go ashore from somewhere else to get through the customs in a foolish way, but after being discovered by Zhu Quan's soldiers, no matter what flag they hung on the bow of the ship, they directly pierced the huge hull with one shot!

Seeing that the situation was not right, the people on the boat immediately jumped into the water like dumplings.

In a panic, he wanted to swim to the shore.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Quan's soldiers on the shore used weapons to stop them, claiming that they had to pay a head fee before they could go ashore.

The capitation fee, of course, is paid by the owner of the ship, and if the owner of the ship does not pay, then the rich man on the ship will pay.

Otherwise, you can only wait to drown in the water.

In the end, the owner of the ship lost a shipload of goods, not to mention a large amount of money.

This living example immediately dissuaded those businessmen who wanted to fish in troubled waters.

Many merchants also regarded this as an important rule, and passed it on to other merchants.

Now, except for those who don't know the rules, no businessman dares to risk his life, and they all obediently pay the waterway fee.
