Ming Dynasty: I, Zhu Gaoyun, inherited the command of Ju Ling.

40: When you have money, the first thing you need to do is to build a cement road!

For Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Gaoxian still respects him very much!

In the final analysis, it is also his imperial grandfather, and aside from the grandson relationship between the two, just because he started a bowl, expelled the Tartars, and established the Ming Dynasty, it was enough to make Zhu Gaoxian respect!

If other people ask about these things, if Zhu Gaoxian is not happy, he will directly ignore you!

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's questions, Zhu Gaoxian has always been answered!

"Grandpa Huang, this rubber tree itself is just a tree, but its stem will secrete a milky white liquid called natural rubber!"

"This kind of natural rubber is very useful for grandchildren!".

"My grandson said that this rubber tree is good for the country and the people, but there is no exaggeration!"

Zhu Gaoxian explained to Zhu Yuanzhang very seriously.

"Is it natural rubber? Is it a natural treasure? Do we still think that this rubber tree is a high-yield grain that can solve the problem of food and clothing for the common people!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more surprised when he heard this.

Zhu Gaoxian said that this rubber tree is beneficial to the country and the people, and the first thing he thought of was that this thing should be edible, and it must be highly productive!

But listening to the meaning of Zhu Gaoxian's words, all he needs is the natural rubber liquid secreted by this rubber tree!

"High-yielding crops, grandchildren will get them soon, don't worry!"

"But after this rubber tree is planted, it will take at least five or six years to start harvesting the rubber, and my grandson is also preparing for the future!"

Zhu Gaoxian explained with a smile.

For a long time, the food problem was the biggest problem at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

The harvest year is fine, but once something happens to natural and man-made disasters, there are countless people who starve to death!

He can also understand Zhu Yuanzhang, after all, a porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, and Emperor Hongwu's thrift on weekdays is also famous!

Especially in terms of food, at least Zhu Yuanzhang himself never wastes food, and what he hates the most is to waste extravagance and waste food!

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang is not too strict with his children and grandchildren, he is just strict with himself!

As long as the children and grandchildren don't deliberately waste food and eat something good on weekdays, that's okay!

However, what Zhu Yuanzhang is most worried about in his heart must be the food problem of Daming!

Especially the drought in Shandong, in the final analysis, is also because of the drought caused by the grain harvest, and the people can't eat enough!

Zhu Yuanzhang would be so anxious, and that is reasonable!

"Then tell us, what do you want this natural rubber for?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked noncommittally.

When the other emperor souls heard this, they also pricked up their ears one by one and listened carefully.

"This natural rubber is very useful!"

"If my grandson talks about it in detail, I'm afraid that he will definitely not be able to finish it for a while, and you won't understand it!"

"Grandson, for example, let's talk about the role of this rubber tire..."

Zhu Gaoxian directly took the rubber tires he wanted to produce as an example and told Zhu Yuanzhang about the benefits of rubber tires.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the other emperor souls were all shocked when they heard that Zhu Gaoxian could still be an artifact like a tire!

According to Zhu Gaoxian, this rubber tire is not only more wear-resistant than ordinary carriage wheels, but also has better passability and is more labor-saving to run!

"So you want this rubber tree so that you can make this kind of rubber tire that is specially used to make wheels in the future?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang probably understood what Zhu Gaoxian meant, he was somewhat speechless.

"That's pretty much what it means!".

"However, once this rubber tire is introduced, it must be matched with a cement paved road to give full play to the best effect!"

Zhu Gaoxian explained with a smile.

"What is this cement?".

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned again when he heard this.

"It is the most basic industrial building material, low cost, and has a wide range of applications and great effects!"

"When you get the cement out of your grandson, you'll understand!"

Zhu Gaoxian hurriedly stopped talking about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang kept asking, and he didn't know when he was going to write this letter!

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ask something, but was directly stopped by Ying Zheng.

"Old Zhu, don't bother your good grandson to do business!"

"If you have any questions, it's not too late to ask them when he's free!".

Li Shimin also spoke at this time.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, although he was still full of curiosity, he saw that Zhu Gaoxian began to write the letter seriously again, and he was too embarrassed to bother again!

Soon, Zhu Gaoxian finished writing the letter, and then called Zhao Jian, one of the thousand households of the Qi King's guards, over.

"You pick a clever person, quickly send this letter from this king back to Tianfu as quickly as possible, this is a token of this king, let him go directly to the palace and hand this letter into the hands of His Majesty in person, do you know?"

Zhu Gaoxian directly handed over the token that he had entered and exited the palace to Zhao Jian.

"Obey the order!".

When Zhao Jian heard this, after receiving the letter and token, he immediately followed Zhu Gaoxian's instructions.

Regarding the matter of rubber trees, Zhu Gaoxian still attaches great importance to it!

Now that the salt fields in the fiefdom have been built, after the New Year, Zhu Gaoxian is ready to officially start the salt business!

When the refined salt is manufactured next year, Yantai will inevitably become an important salt-producing town in the north, and there will definitely be more and more salt merchants coming and going!

After earning the first pot of gold, Zhu Gaoxian will definitely build the road as soon as possible!

If you want to get rich, build roads first!

Zhu Gaoxian knows very well that he really wants to develop his fiefdom and build a new more spacious and flat cement road, which is imperative!

And this goes hand in hand with trade!

There are more salt merchants, and the business is done, so there will be money to build roads!

And the road construction is also to be able to do business better in the future, and then it will not only be the salt industry, but also more new industries, which will rise in Yantai Prefecture!

Just like the cement business, the red brick business, the glass business, the porcelain business, the tea business, etc., in fact, there are many businesses that Zhu Gaoxian can choose!

But first of all, it is necessary to improve the business environment of Yantai Prefecture, and the most important thing is to solve the problem of transportation

And if you want to build a road, this is also a big project, and in other areas of the Ming Dynasty, he Zhu Gaoxian can't take care of it for the time being!

Even if all the state capitals of Daming are connected by cement roads, it is estimated that it will be impossible to do it for decades!

But if you want to build the main road between the state capitals in Shandong in a short period of time, it is completely possible!
