My Daming New Empire

For this reason, Zhu Zhanji provided Ma Di with the strictest protection and the most favorable conditions. All the secret volumes in the ten research institutes were open to him, which was unmatched by anyone else.

If you want money for money, and money for money, Zhu Zhanji just wants to backfire and figure out basic physics.

Ma Di also lived up to his expectations. Now that he has carried out in-depth research on the principle of universal gravitation and leverage, the equations he has come up with have gradually formed a complete system.

Everyone knows that Zhu Zhanji attaches great importance to Ma Di, but no one knows that in Zhu Zhanji's eyes, one Ma Di is more important than ten Liu Sheng.

The two chatted until Haishi, when Zhu Zhanji asked someone to arrange a guest room for him to stay in, and came to Ma Xin's room by himself.

The Hot Spring Bieyuan here is a garden-style building in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition to the original buildings, Zhu Zhanji had someone build a large park.

In this park, hot spring water was brought in, and dozens of small wooden houses were built with logs. His wives and concubines each had one, and each house had its own soup pool.

After the other courtyard was repaired, Zhu Zhanji hadn't been here yet, so Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi each brought their concubines here for vacation.

Seeing these chic cabins, Zhu Di didn't even live in the former hall, enjoying some wild fun.

And Zhu Gaochi felt that Zhu Zhanji would enjoy it, and made the layout here wild and moving.

"Is Your Highness still in the hot spring today?"

Although he was only fourteen years old, Ma Xin helped Zhu Zhanji take off his robe like a virtuous wife.Leaving only the close-fitting little clothes, she sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his waist, and nestled in his arms.

Zhu Zhanji teased her delicate face, and said with a smile, "You can soak with me..."

Ma Xinxia flew her cheeks and twisted her body in Zhu Zhanji's arms. "It's embarrassing."

Although he refused to say it, the small arms around Zhu Zhanji's waist became tighter.Like a poor kitten, afraid of being abandoned.

The two lingered for a while before Zhu Zhanji hugged Ma Xin, who was already afraid to open his eyes, and entered the hot spring pool with only walls and no roof.

Because she is still young, she doesn't have so many complicated thoughts. Even if her mother and the magistrate's wife must have said something to make her turn around today, she didn't tell Zhu Zhanji about it.

With her, Zhu Zhanji also felt very relaxed.

On the second day, Zhu Zhanji returned to the capital from the hot spring under the guard of Habayashi.

However, he did not directly start the preparations for the bank, but first came to Jiajiang Industrial Zone for inspection.

Due to the limitation of power sources, today's industrial area is not a large area, but a line along the river, and each factory has multiple water trucks on the river.

Now someone has proposed to build a super large wooden platform with concrete piers and wooden boards on the Jiajiang River between Jiangxin Island and the river bank, so that more factories can be built.

But Zhu Zhanji vetoed this suggestion. If there is a fire, it will all be over at once.

Because Zhu Zhanji vetoed the proposal, everyone could only focus on technological innovation.

Nowadays, the interlocking devices of waterwheels are becoming more and more complicated. It has become common practice for one waterwheel to drive several lathes, or even multiple lathes.

This in turn requires the bearing to be bigger and bigger, and the waterwheel to be bigger and bigger.

After the foundry and the Ministry of Industry ordered a super-large waterwheel with a diameter of more than 20 meters and a width of more than three meters, with an iron structure and wooden accessories.

At Neiku Textile Factory, they dismantled all their water wheels and replaced them with this super water wheel.

And the power of this kind of waterwheel, one can drive a group of dozens of textile wheels to rotate, so that the first batch of assembly line female workers appeared in Daming.

The Ministry of Industry, which was originally the last of the six ministries, is now building the country's first concrete road network because of the advent of cement.Because of the appearance of the waterwheel, the craftsmen who controlled the world became a yamen fatter than the Ministry of Households.

The current two Ministers of the Household Department, Song Li and Wu Zhong, are fawned upon wherever they go.

Those local officials used to ignore the Ministry of Industry, but now it's different. In order to repair the concrete road as soon as possible, let alone the minister, even the head of the Ministry of Industry who went out to survey, was given generous gifts by them.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. People hundreds of years ago still understood this truth.

In just one year, Daming built nearly a hundred cement plants.If the imperial court had not strictly controlled the number of factories, I am afraid that every county would want to build a cement factory of its own.

The stones all over the mountains and plains can be turned into silver when fired, and there is no need to worry about selling them.Today's Ming Dynasty has a huge demand for cement, and the court has money, so the competition is fierce.

For these changes, Zhu Zhanji is happy to see the results.The rejuvenation of the country by industry and commerce is not just talk.

As for the cement plant, although the impact on industrial development is not as great as that of waterwheels, it can improve the entire basic environment and become a huge foundation for leveraging industrial development.

In fact, in this process, the imperial court spent very little money.The biggest expense is the cost of labor, as well as the business tax withheld by the local government.

In addition to the cement factory, the car factory is the most constructed in Daming now.

The production of a cart is actually very simple, and a carpenter who has just graduated can do it.The only thing that is a bit technical is the production of wooden wheels and the production of bearings.

This point is firmly controlled by the Ministry of Industry. Only when the Ministry of Industry participates in the stock can it provide ready-made bearings to various manufacturers.

The sharp increase in demand for carts is inseparable from the production of cement, and also inseparable from the emergence of concrete roads.

The original carts are not in great demand because of the small cargo capacity, uneven roads, and lack of livestock.

In many villages, a wheelbarrow can meet the needs of farmers.

But what if the road is leveled?This kind of road has very little wear on the wheels, and the cargo capacity is greatly increased, so the advantage of the cart is that the unicycle cannot compare.

Road construction needs to transport sand and gravel, and cement needs to be transported, all of which need to be transported by carts.Therefore, wherever concrete roads are repaired, the demand for carts will increase greatly.

Many merchants have already seen these business opportunities, and started various businesses following the road construction team of the Ministry of Industry.

The road construction team was originally peasant households who served corvee, but after a few months, these peasant households gradually withdrew from the stage of history, because Zhu Di accepted Zhu Zhanji's suggestion and handed over this task to the guards from all over the country. Soldiers.

Although the soldiers in the guards haven't been corrupted yet, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are now clean and bright. Although the world cannot be said to be peaceful, at least there have been no more wars in the Central Plains.

The reason why there are not many is because there are still two places that are not peaceful. One is Tang Sai'er from the White Lotus Sect in Shandong who still makes troubles from time to time, and the other is where Liu Zijin, a citizen of Guangling County in Shanxi, gathers with Liu Xing, Yu Gui and others The turmoil of the incident had just subsided.

Liu Zijin said that he met a Taoist in Shitiling and got different skills. He proclaimed himself an official position, and under the name of Zaobai Banner, he captured the post horse of Taibai Wangjiazhuang and killed the guards of Datong.

On the 14th day of the first lunar month in the [-]th year of Yongle, Zhu Di ordered Jin Yu, the governor of the Chinese army, to be the commander-in-chief and Cai Fu to be the deputy commander-in-chief to lead the army to conquer.

In May, 130 people including Liu Zijin were sent to Beijing by force.Cheng Zu ordered his leader to be beheaded to show the public, and the rest were sent to Jiaozhi to exile.

As for the White Lotus Sect, because there was no riot, all the leaders are now hiding among the people, so they haven't taken action against them yet.

Zhu Zhanji first came to the firearms field and inspected the production of muskets.

The current muskets are relatively simple, the most important thing is the barrel.The barrel problem was solved, and the other wooden butts, flintlocks, and fittings didn't take too much trouble.

Today, [-] muskets can be assembled every day. In a few years, Ming soldiers, including patrolmen, will be able to replace with long and short muskets.

Later, Zhu Zhanji came to the foundry, which is currently the most heavily guarded workshop in Ming Dynasty, because gold, silver and copper coins are produced here.

If you want to start a bank, the most important thing is the currency reserve.Now is not the credit society of later generations, paper money and electronic numbers can become currency.

To be recognized by the common people, it must be a bright gold or silver coin.If the bank wants to be recognized, it does not have enough reserves of gold and silver coins, and if it cannot withdraw gold and silver with a gold and silver ticket, it will be over in an instant, and no one will recognize it again.
