Chapter 131: 2, but not 200 million

Zhu Di suddenly became extremely imposing and looked like he was ready to start scolding.

Zhu Yuanzhang retreated again and again.

"That's it, that's it!"

Zhu Di's expression was filled with grief and indignation. He was acting, but also felt really sad. He said:
"Dad, oh dad! You have such a cruel heart!"

"I just want to be an idle prince."

"I have never thought about starting a rebellion."

"If there is still one person in this world who is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, it is me, Zhu Di!"

"I never expected that your will would ask Yun Wen to kill me and his fourth uncle!"

"It's just that I do know a little bit about fighting."

"It may be due to some other reasons that Zhu Yunwen failed in his attempt to reduce the power of the feudal lords."

"I did it to survive! What have I done wrong?"

Zhu Di was so angry that he took off his hat.

"Okay, okay, aren't you just afraid that I will seize power?"

"Isn't it because you're afraid that the young Zhu Yunwen can't control me, your fourth uncle?"

"Now my eldest brother is still alive and well, and I have decided to give up my status as a prince!"

"Can't I just be a commoner?"

"Is this okay?"

Zhu Di became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and all the depression and fear that had been suppressed in his heart for some time was swept away!

Zhu Yuanzhang was at a loss for a moment when he looked at the contents on the skylight.

It was a rare moment of shortness of breath.

Only after Zhu Di spoke for a long time did Zhu Yuanzhang sigh.

"Oh, the sky, the sky."

"Sometimes, I really don't know what you are talking about. Which parts are real history and which parts are just jokes?"

“But now I understand.”

“Whether the contents of the sky dome are true or false, we cannot judge what might happen in the future based solely on the sky dome.”

"For the governance of the country, for the handling of household affairs."

"I still have to follow my own heart."

"The sky dome can only be used as a reference."

Zhu Yuanzhang regained his composure and his tone became unquestionable again.

"Okay, Old Four, stop talking."

"The content on the sky screen just now is obviously just a TV drama from later times, and it is definitely not real history."

"Don't blame me because of the TV series"

Zhu Di also knew when to stop, and after venting his emotions, he just stood there obediently and stopped talking.

Instead, he listened carefully to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions.

"From today on, I will withdraw the Jinyiwei outside. You should read more books and learn more from Tianmu in the palace."

"Hey, go back to the palace!"

……

Zhu Yuanzhang, heartbroken, left Zhu Di's palace.

However, after leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang had never known how to continue treating Zhu Di.

And now, after Tianmu said something that was obviously a parody of unofficial history.

Instead, he spoke out.

He also took this opportunity to decide to lift the surveillance and control over Zhu Di.

Although I don't dare to continue using him for the time being.

But there is no need to continue to be harsh on him.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang was so confused that he even forgot to watch the new sky screen video.

But the sky screen video will not stop just because an emperor or general does not want to watch it or is too lazy to watch it.

Still playing.

[Do you know what the most dangerous job on a construction site is? ] [Construction site water ghost! ]

[As long as you can make it out alive, you will be paid 20,000 on the spot for this job! ]

[If you come up, I will give you 20,000. If you don’t come up, I will give you 2 million! ]

【This is the construction site water ghost! 】

[So what is so dangerous about this job, and why does it pay so much? ]

[As we all know, many construction projects require piling and drilling, and piling requires a drill. ]

[During the operation, drill bits will occasionally become damaged, fall off, or get lost in the drill hole.]

[This requires someone to go into the well and find the drill bit and fix it again. ]

[Because if it is not fished out, the valuable drill bit will be wasted, and the hole previously drilled will be unusable, and another hole will need to be drilled, which will have a very adverse impact on the entire project. ]

[Even if one pile hole is adjusted, all pile holes will be adjusted together! ]

[The construction cost has skyrocketed! ]

[So in most cases, people will choose to fish out the fallen drill bit. ]

[The holes are often filled with mud.]

[The mud hole at the construction site is very dangerous! It is equivalent to a well full of sewage, slag and construction materials on the construction site. ]

[Diving into a sewage well several dozen meters deep to find a heavy drill and put it back on is extremely dangerous.]

【So this job must pay extremely high wages. 】

[On average, it costs at least 20,000 yuan to retrieve a drill bit, and if it goes down and cannot come out, the compensation is 2 million yuan.]

……

Jin Dynasty.

Sima Zhong looked at the introduction of this profession and became curious about the value of its compensation.

"My dear ministers, can anyone tell me how much these 20,000 yuan would be worth in the future and what could it buy?"

"How much is two million worth?"

Although this passage does not directly explain what 20,000 is equivalent to in ancient times.

But after watching the sky dome for such a period of time.

Many people were analyzing the situation seriously while watching the sky curtain.

Among the ministers present, many are the top elites of this era.

There are many smart people.

Ji Shao, who was standing next to Sima Zhong, said:

"Your Majesty, according to my speculation, twenty thousand is equivalent to three to six months' salary of an ordinary worker in the future."

"And if they are elderly or disabled, they may need to work for a year or even longer to earn 20,000 yuan."

Sima Zhong nodded.

"Oh, that's equivalent to several months' income for an ordinary citizen!"

"That 20,000 yuan is indeed not a small sum. It can allow the people to have several meals of meat porridge, right?"

Jia Nanfeng, who was standing by, felt upset.

He walked over quickly and said fiercely:
"Ah, yes, yes, twenty thousand yuan is not a small number, two million is even more, which is equivalent to letting the common people eat meat porridge for a lifetime. Your Majesty, do you understand?"

Sima Zhong was a little afraid of Jia Nanfeng, so he nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

……

And in the late Ming Dynasty.

Li Laiheng, a subordinate of Li Zicheng, looked at the compensation amount on the sky curtain and said with some envy:
"Whether successful or not, the reward is not low."

"If you work hard, you'll get paid. If you die, you'll get a lot of money!"

"It's worth it!"

"If the present imperial court could be as secure as it will be in later times, the world would not be in this state."

Li Zicheng also agreed:
"Indeed, I was originally a small soldier of the Ming Dynasty."

"If I hadn't been unable to survive, I wouldn't have started a rebellion."

……

As for the very unpopular profession of construction site water ghost.

Most netizens heard about it for the first time and expressed their questions out of curiosity.
