"Pingshen, why are you so scared?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the trembling Kuai Xiang strangely.

Who is Kuai Xiang?

A small man from Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province, was born in a craftsman family. He followed Emperor Taizong Wen and Emperor Zhu Di to the north and was responsible for the construction of the capital. The entire palace and the entire capital were all designed by him and he supervised the construction.

When Shi Pu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, recommended candidates, the first thing he thought of was Kuai Xiang, who was also a craftsman in the Ming Dynasty who became an official by virtue of his craftsmanship.

He was the general manager of Shijing Factory, and Zhu Qiyu was extremely reassured. Kuai Xiang was the person with the most say in large-scale projects in the Ming Dynasty.

"I have not... failed to complete your majesty's errands, and have delayed the construction period. I have asked your majesty to mobilize the capital camp. I am frightened and guilty." Kuai Xiang lay on the ground, shaking even more.

Yesterday, Sun Boring brought people to Shijingchang. Although he was very polite, Kuai Xiang was always worried. In addition, there were many rumors that His Majesty was fond of killing people.

Kuai Xiang was able to build the entire Daming Palace. Although the Shijing Factory was new, the problem was not big.

The main reason is that he has no one, and the people in the capital are not able to support him, so he is actually a little unable to do what he wants.

But the mission assigned by the emperor has not been completed. What's the use of giving so many reasons?

He thought that His Majesty was here to raise an army to investigate.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head. He probably had both good and bad reputations. On the one hand, he was rumored to be the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu, and on the other hand, he was a murderous demon.

He shook his head and said: "Get up and reply. I knew you were in trouble, so I asked the engineer battalion of the 12th Regiment Battalion to come and help."

"Take me to visit this Shijing Factory."

Zhu Qiyu walked with his hands behind his back. The factory area he built was very large, about 700,000 square meters, about the same size as the Forbidden City, but it was all factory buildings.

Xu Siqi, Chen Qingyi, Huang Xuchi, and Liu Yiyong were all called over to accompany His Majesty as he inspected the entire Shijing Factory.

The Steel Department has eighteen Jingtai furnaces, steel frames such as scaffolding for loading materials, and a huge factory building for making sand molds.

"Your Majesty, stop." Xu Siqi endured it again and again, and finally stopped His Majesty's progress and said: "Construction has started, and molten steel is splashing inside. It is still too dangerous. A few days ago, the ladle overturned, and three people died.

personal."

Whether Xu Siqi was trying to stop His Majesty or murdering his father, he still chose to stop His Majesty.

The furnace of Wang Gong Factory is really too small, and the Jingtai furnace of Shijing Factory is really pouring molten steel, and everyone in his family has to fit in it.

Zhu Qiyu stopped in his tracks. He came to see his precious factory, not to cause trouble for Shijing Factory. If this affected the production, it would actually cause trouble.

Seeing that His Majesty was not angry, Xu Siqi breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty is still the same Majesty and has never been anxious towards the craftsmen.

He bowed his head and said: "If your Majesty wants to take a look, you can take a look at the steel silo. It is full of finished products and there is no danger."

Zhu Qiyu was shocked several times when he came to Ming Dynasty.

The first time was the vast collection of books in the Ancient and Modern Tongji Library, the second time was when Yu Qian reported on the armaments of the Ming Dynasty Arsenal, and the third time was the countless gold, silver, and horny corals in the inner transport warehouse and the shining treasures

, the fourth time was the Red Scarf Song sung by the people of the capital to send the newly formed capital camp out of the city to resist the enemy.

These shocks all told Zhu Qiyu how powerful the Ming Dynasty was!

However, the Ming Dynasty, which was so powerful, lost all the elites in Tumubao and almost fell into the disaster of relocation.

This time, he once again saw the power of the craftsmen. They just lacked a systematic summary and a systematic system to guide them, so they were just like a mess.

After possessing the craftsmanship and vocational and technical colleges, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty once again exploded with their steel-like strength.

When the steel warehouse was opened, there was a smell of rust. The steel ingots were neatly stacked in the corner of the huge warehouse. The production speed had exceeded the consumption speed of Jingying.

Now the Iron and Steel Department has also begun to be responsible for building some civilian agricultural tools to cooperate with the ongoing farm laws.

"Okay, very good!" Zhu Qiyu walked with his hands behind his back and strolled in the steel warehouse. There were iron ingots sent to the armor factory to prepare armor, steel sheets sent to the arsenal department to make long and short soldiers, and steel ingots responsible for making armor.

White cast iron for farm implements and tripod steel.

There are also many ordnance companies who use round steel to defraud military expenditures.

Zhu Qiyu also saw a lot of steel drills, which were used to make tools for digging and paving roads for the engineering battalion.

There are so many varieties, it can be said that a hundred flowers bloom.

"Very good!" Zhu Qiyu looked at the huge steel silo and once again affirmed the value of Xu Siqi's existence.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and said: "At the end of the year, each of the four divisions of the Shijing Factory will select a craftsman who has made significant improvements in production and award him a Qi Gong Medal. His merit is equivalent to going into battle to capture the flag."

"Select one hundred craftsmen who have made outstanding contributions and give them top merit cards, which is equivalent to the first level of Xiaoshou."

"In the end, a thousand strong laborers were selected, one thousand people in each department, and they were given Qili cards."

Xing'an had a look of pain on his face. His Majesty's handing out merit cards was equivalent to taking money out of the internal transport treasury. The Ming Dynasty had clear distinctions between internal funds and national funds. If he hadn't managed it well, Your Majesty would have gone bankrupt if he had spent so much money!

But Xing'an can't stop His Majesty from spending money, right?

Zhu Qiyu then said: "Wanggong Factory, Taiji Factory, Hongluo Factory, Xing'an, please go back and write a memorial, calculate the number of merit medals in proportion, and award them together at the end of the year."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Xu Siqi knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The Merit Reward Plaque was extremely in demand in the Ming Dynasty because it was widely rumored that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu, so the Merit Reward Plaque could be used to secure a house and settle down a family!

It is a great honor to have such a brand in your home, even if it is a Qili brand.

"Okay!" Zhu Qiyu said okay again. Looking at the huge steel factory, he was quite convinced that he had made the right move.

The Ming Dynasty has the largest number of craftsmen in the world, the most sophisticated, and the most skilled in production. The Ming Dynasty is vast and rich in resources, and there are enough mineral deposits. As long as you are determined to do it, if it doesn't work in ten years, it will take twenty years! If it doesn't work in twenty years, it will take thirty years!

After all, we must push Ming Dynasty's productivity to another level before the dam built by Xu Youzhen breaks!

Zhu Qiyu was not able to visit the Futan Department as he wished. It was too hot here. The weather had become hot, and it was even hotter in the Futan Department. If Zhu Qiyu's regular clothes were broken, it would be enough for the Futan Department to burn the furnace for three days.

Mainly it's also dangerous.

The Iron and Steel Department has been fully put into use, while the Charcoal Department has only fifteen kilns in use, and the other half are still under construction, and the craftsmen are working day and night.

"That construction site over there is under construction, what is it?" Zhu Qiyu asked curiously.

That's not the Jiabu Division. The Jiabu Division is on the left hand side of Zhu Qiyu. Inside is where the eunuchs of the Taiji Factory and the Ministry of Industry work.

To his right is a construction site under construction.

"The Gunpowder Department is under preparation." Kuai Xiang said quickly: "Yu Shaobao said that with the expansion of the salt boiling camp, Wang Gong's factory had limited space, so he put the preparation of wood and sulfur outside the capital, and waited until it was ground into powder.

The powder is sent to Wang Gong Factory, where the final medicine is stored."

Zhu Qiyu naturally knew about this, but he didn't expect the scale to be so large.

The division of labor in the Ming Dynasty is taking shape. Firstly, it can improve the proficiency of craftsmen. Secondly, it can reduce the time wasted by craftsmen when changing jobs. Thirdly, craftsmen can invent and create tools that facilitate and simplify labor.

Yu Qian and the Ming Emperor have maintained a high degree of inertia on the issue of sustainable fishing.

As for whether Wang Gong Factory will explode...at least, Zhu Qiyu cannot live in the palace. Tai'an Palace is still three squares and one palace away from Wang Gong Factory.

He arrived at the foot of Shijing Mountain, stopped everyone, and ran towards the Coal Well Division again.

The Coal Wells Department is in Xishan. Except for the area near the imperial mausoleum, all the private kilns in other places have been reorganized. This is also the main reason for the delay.

Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian had minor differences regarding farm laws, such as the treatment of lazy people.

He advocated death by starvation, and a loving father would starve a lazy man to death.

Yu Qian advocates education. In the eyes of scholar-bureaucrats like Yu Qian, people are inherently good by nature, but they just don't get the right education, so they become lazy.

At this time, the beggars who were active in Shijing Factory were working very hard.

It was Zhu Qiyu who lost, but Zhu Qiyu lost very happily.

This group of beggars had been in the engineering camp for three months, and finally they had grown up.

They worked very hard, digging wells to collect water, building toilets, work sheds, and factory areas. They were all there.

The most important thing is that they are different from the beggars Zhu Qiyu saw in the past. Their backs are straightened, their eyes are clear, their bodies have become much stronger, and they have more energy.

They are not the walking zombies like before, who do nothing all day long, forcibly begging from passers-by, and even join forces and go to shops, just like robbing, and live in the shops of the capital.

Sure enough, the people of Ming Dynasty were hardworking.

They use their own hands to create wealth and live very well.

It's just that there is a lack of guidance and education, so I don't know how to work hard with both hands.

Sun Bor asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, is this engineering camp okay? If not, practice harder."

Sun Boring was afraid that His Majesty would be dissatisfied.

This matter involves the future life and death of those lazy people in various farms.

Yu Qian specifically told Sun Boring that he must do his best to train beggars.

"Okay, very good!" Zhu Qiyu affirmed Sun Boring's work. These were also the words he said most today.

From the Siwu Regiment Camp outside Dongzhimen, to the Shijing Factory, and finally to the Coal Well Division, Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied. Everything was prosperous, full of vitality, and everything was in full swing.

Zhu Qiyu said very proudly: "The current training intensity is enough. For the sake of Yu Shaobao and Jin Shangshu, they sent the lazy people back to make a sample and serve as a reference."

"Just as Yu Shaobao said, all the lazy guys in the village should be sent to Beijing Camp to practice. Just practice."

Yu Qian's remonstrance was successful again. Although this time the remonstration took a very long time, Yu Qian's remonstration this time was a great success in persuading benevolence and forgiveness!

I don’t know how much better it is than Chen Xun’s recitation of the Sutra.

"Huang Xuchi, tell me, what are the difficulties in the Coal Well Department?" Zhu Qiyu asked with emotion as he looked at the places where wells were drilled to draw water all over the mountains and plains.

There must be problems that the General Office and the General Office cannot solve, otherwise the progress of the Coal Mine Division would not be so slow.

Huang Xuchi said hesitantly: "It is the Tianshou Mountain Orthodox Mausoleum. The Tianshou Mountain Orthodox Mausoleum has been built, but it has blocked the mining road."

The orthodox mausoleum in Tianshou Mountain was built by Zhu Qizhen for himself. It was supervised by Huichang Bo Sunzhong and took a total of twelve years to complete.
Chapter completed!
