Daming: The county magistrate cried poorly and Zhu Yuanzhang exploded in anger

People from both parties argued endlessly about this matter, so they could only write a memorial and submit it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang soon received the memorial from Zhang Song and the memorial from the Ministry of Industry.

"Why? Waiting for your matter to fall to me, hasn't Zhang Song been approved to build a reservoir?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly: "What do you think of Biaoer?"

Zhu Biao who was on the side said: "Father, I don't know what to say. We can only say that Zhang Song's thinking has seriously exceeded our cognition."

"Beyond your understanding?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "That's not acceptable, we can't understand your subordinates, it's going to be a big deal."

"I've said it many times, father, Zhang Song can be absolutely trusted!"

"Absolutely believe it? You're not talking strange things, are you?" In his opinion, this kind of thing needs to be done carefully, and one cannot blindly trust an outsider.

Old Zhu is still suspicious.

For someone whose surname is not Zhu, it is impossible for him to trust him.

Unless this Zhang Song is renamed Zhu Song.

"Steelmaking! Steel is a controlled item in our Ming Dynasty! The widespread use of steelmaking will cause serious consequences!"

Since Qin Shihuang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, collected all the weapons from all over the world, and cast twelve golden men, all dynasties have strictly controlled iron products.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty had looser control over ironware than the Yuan Dynasty.

Only ten households in the Yuan Dynasty were allowed to have a kitchen knife.

These ten households have an organization that manages kitchen knives.

Although the Ming Dynasty was not as strict, it did not allow the existence of a large number of ironware among the people.

This is something absolutely taboo in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Song felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's actions were overkill.

Although he did not state what he meant above, in the memorandum he already said that Lao Zhu is an emperor who sticks to the old rules.

This is why hospitalization is so annoying.

Zhu Yuanzhang handed the memorial to Zhu Biao.

After Zhu Biao saw it, he smashed it and said with his tongue: "Father, this... is actually not a big deal. In the future, we will be equipped with firearms in large quantities in Ming Dynasty. Cold weapons have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history."

"Firearms? What kind of firearms? We used them in wars. That kind of firearms are only auxiliary things, and they can't be very powerful in front of cold weapons."

Zhu Biao was surprised when he saw that his father didn't know about the firearm developed by Zhang Song.

He turned to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Father, my minister has many weapons, all of which were made by Zhang Song. How about showing you the power of the firearms he researched."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Go and get it, we really want to see the so-called firearm of that kid."

Zhu Biao then returned to the East Palace.

Get the firearm.

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he showed Zhang Song's matchlock gun.

This kind of matchlock gun is more than twice as good as the muskets and firecrackers traditionally used by the Ming army.

The speed of loading ammunition of traditional firearms and firecrackers is very slow.

It can't be compared with the matchlock gun at all.

"Zhang Song said that this musket is a primitive firearm. When he has time, he will develop even more powerful weapons. By then, our Ming Dynasty will dominate the world and no one can match it."

The more Zhu Biao talked, the more excited he became.

Hearing Zhu Biao say this, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy.

So he swiped his pen and said, "Alright then, I approve it!"

After Zhu Biao saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had become enlightened, the stone hanging in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

Immediately after Zhang Song received Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, intensive preparations began.

First select the location of the reservoir embankment, and then draw the blueprint.

How much earthwork, manpower, and financial resources are needed have already been calculated. Well, the first step is to build a dam with Tutu, the second is to pour concrete, and to build flood drainage and flood discharge facilities like modern reservoirs.

Of course, the reservoir can be built to generate hydroelectric power.

Zhang Song can only buy hydroelectric generators from the system.

If we talk about direct research, it will take a long process. First solve the current difficulties, and then lead the daimyo to the overall industrial process like a hen hatching chicks.

Zhang Song did some calculations during this process, and it will be successful when his beard turns gray.

In the process of repairing dams, a crucial problem must be solved, that is, steelmaking.

Zhang Song spent a thousand systems, and only purchased the blueprint of the entire process of the steelmaking furnace from the system.

From putting iron ore into the furnace to finally smelting it into steel rods.

That is to say to ensure the steel for the construction of reservoir dams.

The whole process was carried out in an orderly manner, and Zhang Song admired his masterpiece very much.

After Hu Weiyong was killed, the Lu family and other big families in Jinling no longer dared to gossip about Zhang Song.

They were all silent for the moment.

Don't dare to say anything.

If you want to talk more, you will definitely die without a burial place.

Zhang Song handed over the task of supervising the construction of the embankment to Du Jingde.

He went to practice steel himself.

Ancient iron ore was mostly mined in the open pit.

In ancient times, there were not as many uses for bodies as in modern industry, so an iron mine can still be mined for 1000 or 2000 years.

Zhang Song went straight to the place where there was iron ore.

Of course, the closer this place is to his Shihe line, the better, which is convenient for transportation.

Du Jingde is fully responsible for the project in Shihe County.

Zhang Song left Shihe County and went straight to places with iron ore.

Danyang County.

This is the purpose of this trip.

There is a famous iron mine in Danyang County.

Generally speaking, such resources do not belong to Daming, but belong to the landlord.

On whose territory there is the landlord to develop.

After Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, he found the owner of the iron ore, but the owner said he would not sell it, saying that even if it was a golden mountain, he would not sell his ancestral property.

The owner of this iron ore is named Li Dewei.

He is in his 50s and has a gray beard.He looks very good, so he looks like he is 50 or 43 years old in his [-]s.

It can be seen how moist the life of the rich is, and they live very well completely.

"Master Zhang, even with the emperor's order, my Li family will not sell this mine."

Even though Zhang Song had already told his story, the other party was still unmoved.

In their eyes, interests are above all else. As for national interests, they can only say haha...

"I want to ask you a question, if Daming no longer exists, do you think your Li family still exists?"

"Our Li family's mine can be passed on for hundreds of years, which proves that our Li family still exists even if the dynasty is arable land. The next emperor will still need the support of our big family, so it will definitely not treat us big The family did it."

Li Dewei smiled proudly.

"You're digging your own grave. Let's put the ugly words first, you big families will soon come to an end."

Talking to such a person, Zhang Song felt that his mouth was about to froth.
