Chongzhen Undergraduates

"Brother Chaozong, I think it's not enough for us scholars to make trouble, we still need foreign aid." Jia Kaizong's fox-mindedness became more and more exposed.

"Don't mention Qian Qianyi and them, I don't think you can count on them." Hou Fangyu is angry when he mentions Qian Qianyi now, although the other party is enough to be his elder.

"No, I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about Marshal Zuo of Wuchang. Chaozong, think about it, what did Ma Shiying rely on to get the position? Isn't it those vulgar warriors in Jiangbei! If we can invite Zuo Da Handsome, how can this matter not be possible?"

Everyone knew that Hou Fangyu's father was Zuo Liangyu's supporter, and the Hou family had a great influence on Zuo Liangyu.Moreover, Zuo Liangyu claimed to have an army of 30, and even the entire Jiangbei might not be able to contend against Zuo Liangyu.

"Is there too much movement?" Hou Fangyu was a little hesitant, which was tantamount to admonition.If this kind of thing is done, it is a powerful minister; if it fails, it is treason.

"Okay my brother Chaozong, the national weapon is here and I'm not with him. Small size is not a gentleman, non-toxic is not a husband."

Jia Kaizong's heart is already in his throat, the key to this matter depends on Hou Fangyu's courage, if Hou Fangyu shrinks back at this time, then his end may not be good.

"It's done." Hou Fangyu is also a thoughtful person, and the courage of the second generation of officials is not ordinary.

"I'm going to Wuchang right away, and you guys will stay in Nanjing and contact other people. If we want to do it, we can do it with a big ticket!"

Chapter 1: A moment of intimacy and estrangement

During the five-day holiday of the first lunar month, Zhu Youjian spent all the rest of the time at Jiangjun Mountain, discussing matters with Fang Yizhi and Song Yingxing, except that the discussion was over on the first day of the first lunar month and he accompanied the prince and Chen Yuanyuan.

Technological progress has never been an easy task, unless the traverser enters the scene with technicians, drawings and materials like "Lingao Qiming".

Only responsible for construction, of course it will be very fast, otherwise, the development of any technology will be a difficult journey.

In the era of Daming, the Polytechnic Institute under the control of Fang Yizhi produced the only scientific and technological achievement in just two months, that is: cement!And it's earthen cement.

This is the easiest material to break through among Daming's existing technical means.Because the Ming Dynasty is a big country of porcelain and has a full understanding of firing kilns.

The kiln workers in Jingdezhen, together with the formula given by Zhu Youjian, made the clay cement very quickly.Moreover, Daming did not lack the technology of burning lime.

Don't underestimate this little bit of technological progress. It has increased the infrastructure construction speed of many projects in the Institute of Technology several times.

It took two hundred people half a month to build a large platform in the ironworks, but after using cement, it only took one hundred craftsmen to complete it in seven days.

"Have you dug out the coal in Huainan?"

Zhu Youjian was in a hurry, time was running out.There is no shortage of iron ore around Nanjing, but the only thing that is lacking is high-quality coal.Coke is used in ironmaking, but high-quality coal has a great influence on ironmaking.

"The coal has been dug out, but it can't be transported. The road is too far!" Song Yingxing is mainly responsible for the follow-up of large projects. The few large mines pointed out by Zhu Youjian are easy to find.It's a pity that the distance between coal and iron is a pity.

"I can't wait any longer. The iron ore should be excavated in Liuhe first. Only the best charcoal can be used for ironmaking."

Zhu Youjian remembers reading in the materials that South America is also short of coal, and Brazil has always used charcoal to make iron.The advantage of coke is that it has good skeleton support, and if hard charcoal is used, it may be able to do so.

The best iron materials in Ming Dynasty are not produced in the north, but in Guangdong and Guangxi.The reason for this is that coal is used for ironmaking in the north, and the coal is not coked and has a high sulfur content.However, charcoal is used in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the quality of refined iron is much better.

"However, the amount of charcoal used is too large, and it is difficult to buy." According to Zhu Youjian's demand for refined iron, using charcoal may be a huge number.

"Cut down the mountain on the opposite side." Zhu Youjian was really anxious, even though the three warlords in Jiangbei had been integrated, but the army's equipment was seriously aging.

The war is about to start, and all the warehouses of the Nanjing Military Department are full of rusty equipment, even Yongle Nian's weapons.

Rather than repairing these broken pieces, it is better to go back to the furnace and make new ones.

Just when Zhu Youjian was in a state of desperation, Wang Chengen quietly came to the door and glanced into the room. Seeing that Zhu Youjian was busy, he didn't bother him, and quietly stepped aside.

Zhu Youjian had seen Wang Chengen from Yu Guangli and knew something important was going on.

"That's it, come here today, tell the monkey cubs, it's the same sentence, don't feel bad about money."

After Fang Yizhi and Song Yingxing left, Wang Chengen slipped in like a shadow.

"Old man, why do you walk without making a sound?" Zhu Youjian found that Wang Chengen was becoming more and more like a spy chief. He walked without making a sound and liked to stand in the darkest places.

"The old slave is old, and he doesn't have much flesh on his body, so he walks quietly." Wang Chengen was exhausted in the past few months, and it was not easy to form a new spy agency.

"Is your body important? Do you want me to reward you with a few court ladies? You won't have no food in the palace, right?"

If this sentence was said by ordinary people, Wang Chengen would probably remember it for the rest of his life.However, he has seen Zhu Youjian's ruffian for a long time, and knows that Zhu Youjian is joking with him.

"There are scholars gathered in Nanjing again, and some people are concentrating on disrupting the situation. There are rumors that they will force Lord Long Live to start a course."

"Well, it's better than last time. If you can find out earlier, your subordinates will be more and more reliable."

Regarding the attack on the Institute of Technology last time, Wang Chengen still seemed to blame himself. At that time, there were so many people making troubles, and the factory guards didn't know about it, which can be regarded as a serious dereliction of duty.

"It's too difficult. I have been thinking about the stories you told for a long time. This old bone may not be able to complete the task."

Wang Chengen was a little sad. Zhu Youjian instilled in him some espionage methods hundreds of years later.

Obviously, this is beyond the knowledge of Wang Chengen, the head of the traditional factory guard, on espionage warfare.

"Old guy, it's up to you, I can't trust anyone else."

"Gao Qi is lurking in Jiangbei, why don't you find him first and help the old slave?"

Gao Qiqian was highly valued by Chongzhen when he was in the capital, and he was always known as a soldier. Many tasks of supervising the army in Chongzhen were entrusted to him.

Although the emperor is different now, Wang Chengen should remember this person based on his understanding of Zhu Youjian.

"Who? Who did you just say?"

"Go high and dive." Wang Cheng'en was puzzled, Zhu Youjian's reaction was a bit overreacted, and he almost jumped to ask.

"Damn it, did you take that kid's money?" As a star fan, there is no one who doesn't know Gao Qiqian, because the person involved with him is Lu Xiangsheng who is famous.

Among bright fans, Lu Xiangsheng is almost the least controversial one.It's a pity that he was killed by Gao Qi in the end.Many people thought that Gao Qiqian should be damned, but in fact, Gao Qiqian had guessed what Chongzhen was thinking.

The Hou Jin army was just outside the capital city, and Lu Xiangsheng fought hard, but Chongzhen himself wanted to negotiate a peace.There was a conflict between the peacemaker faction and the main war faction, and Gao Qiqian was actually Chongzhen's scapegoat.

However, Gao Qiqian, the so-called Zhibing, is also nonsense, he knows that the emperor's thoughts are true.

Zhu Youjian didn't want this person, such an unfaithful courtier, rich as a thief, just like a fattened pig waiting to be killed for the New Year.

"You have stolen all my money, and now I live in the palace. In Nanjing, I didn't even buy a firewood house." Wang Chengen glared at Zhu Youjian. Since the capital, he has been completely single. .

"I know, I know. When you retire, I will give you a pension, and I promise to find a bunch of old women to take care of you every day. Haha."

Seeing that Zhu Youjian had no interest in Gao Qiqian at all, Wang Chengen planned to leave.According to Zhu Youjian's habit, if he is interested in a person, he must keep asking.

"That kid Gao Qiqian, let's keep an eye on him first. That kid is a traitor!" Zhu Youjian said lightly.

"Ah!" Wang Chengen was totally surprised, he never expected Zhu Youjian to say that.Back then in the capital, Gao Qiqian and he were both popular people around Zhu Youjian.

"Ah, what, touch his root, and take it together. I will give you all the money you copied out. I guess there will be a lot of it? Hehe."

The job of supervising the army is itself a fat job.Gao Qiqian has been working for many years and has accumulated a lot.In addition, he didn't escape all the way, and he continued to hang out in the army. Of course, Wang Chengen knew that Gao Qiqian was rich.
