Zhu Yuanzhang laughed inexplicably when he heard this, which made Zhu Biao confused! "We have already written to discuss with the old fourteen before!"

"Lao Fourteen also replied, as long as the court is willing to pay, he can give as much as he wants, and the price is absolutely cheap!".

"With the current financial resources of the state treasury, there is no problem in building a few cement roads!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao's puzzled look, and explained with a smile.

"So you have already discussed it with the old fourteen?"

Zhu Biao couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, he didn't expect that the old man hadn't gone to Ganzhou yet, and he had secretly been in contact with Lao Fourteen from time to time! "It's just a few letters!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said noncommittally.

"If there is enough cement supply in Ganzhou, there is no problem in building roads, the only thing to consider is how to persuade the household department to pay for it!"

Zhu Biao looked at the old man and reminded slowly.

After all, Zhang Zhen, the head of the household, is a well-known iron rooster, and sometimes even if Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, wants to use money, he has to agree to it! Not to mention the cost of building a cement road, even if Lao Fourteen gives a cheap price of 24, it is definitely a very huge number, and it will definitely not be less!"

"In addition to building roads, the output of rubber must be increased, not only to pave all official roads into cement roads in the future, but more importantly, rubber tires, at least the court and the army, must all be replaced!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly, obviously he had made up his mind to pretend to be this matter!

As for the matter of rubber planting, Zhu Yuanzhang also wrote to Zhu Ao to mention that he wanted to expand the scale of planting, but according to Lao Fourteen's reply, this thing can only be planted in the tropical areas of the south!

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to promote it in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and he could only find a way to plant a little more over there! So Zhu Yuanzhang simply regarded all the islands in Qiongzhou as a planting base for rubber trees, and personally ordered that the whole island of Qiongzhou be mainly responsible for planting rubber trees!

Hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang already had an idea, Zhu Biao did not continue to dwell on this issue.

He knew that the old man's decision was right, whether it was to build cement roads or promote rubber, it was a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people!

The only thing he's worried about is that he's taking too big a step and it's easy to pull the egg!

But at present, it seems that there should be no worries about this, I believe that the old man should also be measured! The most important thing is that the household department is in charge of the money bags of the imperial court, even if the old man wants to mess around, it is impossible! "By the way, Dad, it is about to enter autumn, except for the old fourteenth, several vassal kings in the border have sent excerpts......

Zhu Biao suddenly changed his words at this time, and he didn't finish the rest of his words, but he believed that Zhu Yuanzhang must know what it meant! Every year at this time, several vassal kings in Biansai will invariably give a discount to the imperial court, of course, the old fourteen is an exception!

Because the autumn harvest is imminent, and those Tartars in Mobei have to face the pressure of food shortage after winter, there are always some Tartars who are not afraid of death, and the Tartars with iron heads go south in groups to 'hit the grass valley'!

Although they are basically small-scale teams, with hundreds of people in number and dozens of people at the least, the villages and towns in the border areas that are attacked by these Tartars do not have the ability to resist these Tartars!

At this time, it is necessary for the army of the imperial court or the vassal king to stand up and clean up these Tartars who dare to violate the border!

Fighting a war must require money and food, so every year at this time, most of the border vassal kings will cry poor with the imperial court, shouting for the imperial court to give money and food, so as to deal with the threat of the Mobei Tartars!

As soon as Zhu Biao spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang understood what was going on, or he had already gotten used to it!

"Follow the old rules!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, which meant that Zhu Biao should deal with it according to the practice of previous years!

In fact, did these vassal kings really send this little money and food from the imperial court? It's just an excuse made by these sons, and even if they don't give it, it won't affect anything!

"Uh...... Everything else is easy to say, but the fourth over there is a bit more this year!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Huh?"

"How much does this kid want to speak?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately frowned.

"It was said that it would cost 1 million taels of silver and 200,000 stone grains and grass!"

Zhu Biao reported the number of applications on Zhu Di's fold directly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"This fourth child, is it really our money and food that are blown by the wind?"

"1 million taels of silver and 200,000 stones of grain and grass, he really dares to speak!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he was obviously angry by Zhu Di's sudden lion opening!

In previous years, at most, 100,000 or 200,000 taels of silver would be given as food, and 100,000 taels of silver could be used to pay 50,000 soldiers for several months! What's more, Zhu Di's own personal guards were only more than 10,000, and the rest were all imperial court troops, and the food and salaries were all directly allocated by the household department!

"Then let's give it to him directly according to last year's standards?"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's angry appearance and said with a wry smile.

"Don't give it!"

"All the vassal kings won't give it this year, so if we have this money, we might as well use it to build roads!"

"Lao Fourteen also raises so many people, and once they asked us for a tael of silver? Why don't they learn from Lao Fourteen?"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately changed his mind, not only did Zhu Di's food and salary go to waste, but also made his 903 other vassal king's food and salary directly go down the drain??

And this account has to be directly counted on the fourth child, let Zhu Di take the blame! If you want to blame Zhu Di, blame Zhu Di!" "Okay, we know!"

Zhu Biao sighed helplessly, and he was also wondering in his heart, what kind of madness is the fourth child smoking? If you want to say that you are going to fight a big battle, you are going to send an army to the Northern Expedition or something, and it is reasonable to ask for so much money and food!

But even if you want to go on a northern expedition, you have to agree with the old man! Unless you can be like the fourteenth, you dare to lead the army deep into Mobei without asking the old man for a penny!

Where is the need to supply so much silver, grain and grass for ordinary border defense?

As for whether these vassal kings will be able to hold the border after not being paid, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang will not be too worried about this!

At present, the situation in the northwest is relatively stable, and the Mobei Tartars do not dare to go south to the northwest of the Ming Dynasty at will, but the situation in the grasslands is complicated, and there will still be some small tribes who will take risks to survive the winter and invade the border of the Ming Dynasty from Shanxi or Hebei!

Fortunately, these Tartars still know how to measure themselves and only grab grain, and they dare not kill people indiscriminately!

If there are a large number of casualties among the common people, if other vassal kings don't say it, King Su will definitely investigate it to the end, and they will definitely not be able to provoke it!

For example, here in Shanxi or Hebei, there will be no massacre of Tartars entering the village!.
