Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Yong Ming pursed his lips, raised his head, and looked at Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun, "Dad, mother, can my child go with you?"

"What are you going to do?" Zhu Di asked with a smile. ░▒▓█►─══─◄█▓▒░

Yong Ming rolled his eyes reservedly.

Isn’t this asking questions knowingly?

But who said that dad is the father and he is the son.

"My child knows that my father and mother are filial piety, and I also want to go."

"Mom, there's me too!" Xiao Qihua hid behind Yong Ming and stuck out her little head to request.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun looked at the two little guys, smiled at each other, turned around and walked forward. At the same time, they said angrily: "Follow me, I won't see you washing my and your mother's feet!"

When Yong Ming and Qi Hua heard that Zhu Di agreed, they held hands, jumped up and down, and followed happily.

After hearing the second part of the sentence, the two little guys looked at each other and murmured in a low voice: "The golden beans have been thrown to Aunt Wuyun. We just thought that even if we have a mother, it's not our turn."

…

Zhu Di listened to the whispers of the two little things behind him, turned his head and looked at Xu Miaoyun with a smile.

The tips of Xu Miaoyun's ears turned red, which was really pretty.

Sensing Zhu Di's gaze, her pretty face turned red and she glared in anger, as if to warn: If you dare to sing along with two little things, I will... I will...

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, speeding up his pace slightly.

Bang bang bang...

Came outside Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying's house.

Little Qihua jumped up and knocked on the door first: "Grandfather, Grandmother, my father, mother, and I have come to see you, please open the door soon..."

Squeak!

The door opens.

The moment Cai Lv opened the door, he saw Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun each holding a wooden basin for washing feet, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Master, Mistress..."

"Senior sister, where are your grandfather and grandmother?" Xiao Qihua couldn't wait to poke her head inside the door.

Ha ha……

Hearty laughter came.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying just walked out of the inner hall. Seeing little Qihua's little head, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled heartily and waved: "Come on, our eldest granddaughter, come in quickly!"

Xiao Qihua slipped in quickly.

Zhu Di held the basin with one hand, patted the top of Cai Lu's hair with the other, and whispered: "Go home and spend the night with your family. The carriage is already waiting outside the palace, and Dongxu and the others are also outside. I’m waiting for you, the master and mistress are here today.”

Cai's big green eyes turned red instantly, "Master..."

A nasal choking sound sounded.

Zhu Di stared.

The big-eyed girl held back tears and nodded with a smile.

After visually picking the green leaves.

Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun and his wife walked in with Yong Ming.

Zhu Yuanzhang held Xiao Qihua's hand and stood near the door of the inner hall. When he saw the basins in the hands of Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun, the smile on his lips disappeared, and then he said with a straight face, "What are you doing?"

Ma Xiuying rolled her eyes helplessly, this tough-tongued man! Now he's becoming hypocritical!

Zhu Di rolled his eyes and said as he walked in: "Father, please stop holding it. Haven't you been talking to your mother about wanting me to wash your feet..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's lips twitched.

Feelings are a chore!

It’s not from the heart!

Angrily, he walked to the stool next to the table in the outer hall and sat down, waving his hands, "Who said that? Xiuying, did we say this to you? Don't slander us! Fourth child, go back, there are so many people around us Serving, do you still need me?"

"Mom, since my father doesn't want to wash it, Hai'er and Miaoyun will wash it for Mom. In the past, when the baby went out, Mom would make clothes for the baby. From now on, the baby might not be able to fulfill his filial piety in front of Mom's knees, so let the baby and Miao Yun wash it for Mom. Miaoyun, give me mother, please wash your feet again."

Zhu Di said, winking at Ma Xiuying with a smile.

Xu Miaoyun suppressed laughter and lowered her head.

Ma Xiuying smiled and glared, glancing at Zhu Yuanzhang who kept glancing this way out of the corner of his eye, obviously unable to sit still but desperate to save face.

He responded with a smile: "Okay."

After saying that, he turned around first, took Xiao Qihua's hand, and headed back to the dormitory.

Xu Miaoyun raised her head and asked with her lips: "You really don't care about your father anymore?"

Zhu Di smiled and walked straight into the bedroom.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the young couple, he really didn't care about him, and his eyes widened suddenly.

When Xiao Yongming was about to speak but stopped looking, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head instantly to prevent Xiao Yongming from seeing his true emotions.

Why……

Xiao Yongming looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and shook his head like a young adult. The emperor's grandfather was too concerned about face, which always put him at a disadvantage.

He also felt some sympathy for his father and envied his father.

Look how much the royal grandmother cooperates with my father.

He was certain.

In the future, if he is like his father, he will deliberately make his grandfather angry and his father angry.

My mother will definitely not cooperate with my father and him like the imperial grandmother.

There is a high probability that if he dares to anger his father, his mother will teach him a lesson first without him taking action.

From the corner of his eye, Zhu Yuanzhang watched Yong Ming shake his head, sigh and leave, with the corners of his lips twitching fiercely.

Just...don't care about him?

In the sleeping hall.

Ma Xiuying sat on the edge of the couch. Xu Miaoyun helped Ma Xiuying take off her boots. Zhu Di put the basin on the ground, tiptoed, and quietly observed Zhu Yuanzhang.

The old man twitched his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and tickled irritably. It was really funny.

Xiao Qihua stood in front of Zhu Di, imitating Zhu Di's example, leaning her neck to observe, raising her head and saying softly: "Dad, you really don't care about the emperor's grandfather?"

Zhu Di lowered his head and winked at Yong Ming who was standing aside, "You brat, what should you do, do you want me to teach you?"

Yong Ming smiled, took Xiao Qihua's hand, and ran out.

When he came to Zhu Yuanzhang, he took Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and said, "Grandfather, you love your grandson so much. If your grandson can't always fulfill his filial piety in front of you in the future, just give him a chance."

"Grandpa Huang, and little Qihua!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two little guys with a smile that couldn't be concealed.

He glanced inside, stood up, and said loudly: "Okay, we are here to give face to our grandchildren!"

Zhu Di secretly watched Zhu Yuanzhang coming from the outer hall being pulled by the two little guys. He hurriedly came to the couch, rolled up his sleeves, tested the water temperature, and pretended to be presentable.

So, when Zhu Yuanzhang came in, he saw that his daughter-in-law Miaoyun had already started washing Xiuying's feet.

Damn fourth child!

He was squatting in front of another basin to get ready.

"Grandfather, hurry up, or the water will get cold." Xiao Qihua pulled Zhu Yuanzhang to the couch and asked Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying to sit side by side on the couch.

Then he squatted next to Xu Miaoyun and washed Ma Xiuying's feet together. He raised his head and looked at Ma Xiuying with his beautiful big black eyes, "Royal Grandma, does it feel comfortable for Xiao Qihua?"

"Comfortable!"

Ma Xiuying couldn't hide her happiness, she smiled and stroked the top of Xiao Qihua's hair.

Xiao Qihua bowed her head happily and massaged Ma Xiuying seriously.

After Zhu Di and Xiao Yongming, father and son, helped Zhu Yuanzhang take off his boots and socks, they began to warm and massage Zhu Yuanzhang's feet seriously.

For a while.

The bedroom is extremely quiet and warm.

Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two adults and two children and silently helped them wash their feet.

Feeling relieved and happy.

They looked at each other and realized that each other's eyes were red.

Ma Xiuying breathed silently and wiped her eyes quietly.

Chongba deliberately found fault with him, and Lao Si deliberately disobeyed Chongba.

This pair of living treasures, father and son, actually use their own way to resolve the emotions of separation.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at a pair of big hands and a pair of small hands washing his feet, raised his hands, wiped his eyes carelessly with his sleeves, endured the discomfort, and asked: "Give the imperial court the blast furnace, the vertical pedal machine, and the accompanying technical instructors." , are you all ready?"

"Um."

Zhu Di lowered his head, carefully washed Zhu Yuanzhang's feet, and said softly: "Three sets of blast furnaces, according to the court's requirements, including two sets of one-ton blast furnaces and one set of two-ton blast furnaces... have all been packed and shipped, and the technical instructors, It’s also ready and ready to go at any time.”

"When the competitive competition you envision is held, if your mother and I are still alive, remember to invite us."

"Well, my father and mother will definitely live to be a hundred years old! The Jilongyu Shipyard and the shipyard invested and built by Yilan Fujia are currently working on special ships that are more suitable for riding and more comfortable. When the time comes, My father and mother will definitely not have to suffer."

…

"I heard from Cai Lu that after Yu Jing comes back with you this time, he will take a group of people to go to sea on the largest ship in your navy to explore deeper into the southern sea?"

"Well, the navy is now able to gallop across the world, all due to its technological advantages and the efforts of its soldiers. Unlike the army, the navy has not yet cultivated the military soul and soul of the navy. I want Yu Jing to bring a group of experience to the most advanced Good young people, go out and work out, exercise, and find their own naval soul, and at the same time, see what else is there in the depths of the vast, deep blue sea."

…

Soon, Ma Xiuying was also attracted by the questions and answers of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and his son.

Ask a question or two every now and then.

After a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his feet and said, "Stop washing. Are you two, father and son, one old and one young, fulfilling your filial piety, or are you deliberately tormenting us? Your feet are almost bare from being rubbed."

Zhu Di lowered his head and smiled, wiping Zhu Yuanzhang's feet.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand, pulled Yong Ming and Qihua to stand up, and looked at the two little guys.

Laosi and Miaoyun taught well!

What happens next is unclear.

At least now, his grandchildren are excellent.

"Grandfather and grandmother are leaving tomorrow. Don't cry. Why are you crying? It's not like you won't be able to see us. If you want us to come back more often..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, seeing that the eyes of the two little guys were red, he reached out and touched their faces lovingly, "When you were young, your parents were omnipotent in your eyes. As you grow up, you will have your own Your abilities will also increase in terms of ideas, and may even surpass those of your parents. At this time, some of the words your father and mother said may seem rotten to you. You can have your own ideas, but don’t let them get you wrong. Dislike them, no matter what, they love you. Sometimes, they know that they have done something wrong, and they will feel sorry for you in their hearts, but they will not say it out..."

Zhu Di lowered his head, and the tip of his nose felt a little sore.

Ma Xiuying turned her head to the side and endured the discomfort.

Chongba is teaching Yongming and Qihua.

But at the same time, he also apologized to the fourth child.

Finally, I expressed my guilt towards my fourth child in this way.

"Grandfather, we remember!"

…

That night, Zhu Yuanzhang, Ma Xiuying and Zhu Di's family of four talked a lot.

Very late, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun left with Yong Ming and Qihua.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the door, looking at the family of four, holding a lantern, and disappeared from sight.

He raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes, turned his head, and smiled at Ma Xiuying: "We have to work hard to live for at least five more years. The fourth child said that he can build Dongfan and Luzon in five years. When the time comes, let's come back Take a look, come back and have a look, we can leave with peace of mind!"

On that agreement.

Regarding maintaining the status quo of business and trade, Biaoer insisted on only signing the contract for ten years.

Actually he understands.

Ten years later.

If there is an irreconcilable conflict between the two parties.

Biao'er must have launched a political or military attack on Lao Si in order to protect the interests of Ming Dynasty and his own interests.

He believed that Biao'er would definitely not kill Lao Si.

At most, it is to stand from the king's point of view and weaken the fourth child.

But once the war starts, it is difficult to stop it.

Especially in the Ming Dynasty, Biao'er was surrounded by a group of people who wanted to put Lao Si to death.

If the fourth Yan Fan can develop successfully during this period.

Then, he can rest assured.

As long as Lao Si develops, relying on Lao Si's martial arts skills, he will definitely be very tenacious.

Therefore, he must come to see it again.

After another look, he felt relieved even though he was gone.

…

The next day.

Jilongyu Pier is crowded with people.

The Imperial Guards have completed boarding the ship.

After Zhu Di and Zhu Biao finished speaking, they came to a group of brothers Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu and said with a smile: "Second brother, third brother, please do your filial piety for me in front of my father and mother..."

A group of brothers couldn't help but feel sore in their eyes.

Of course they knew that Fourth Brother could no longer return to Daming often.

Zhu Xiang raised his hand and hammered Zhu Di's shoulder in an angry manner. He and Zhu Xi held Zhu Di's shoulders on the left and right, and said angrily: "We can only fulfill our filial piety, and you should do it yourself!"

"Fourth brother, if you dare to just leave like this, when you establish a country and become king, and third brother comes to Yan Fan again, third brother will definitely beat you!"

"Fourth brother, you must come back often, what are you afraid of! Wherever you go, you are my father's son! Let me see which bastard dares to be rude to fourth brother!"

…

The emotional voices of a group of princes attracted the glances of the officials not far away.

Zhu Di glared at Lao Shisan, who shouted the most fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

This old Thirteen, who was originally his brother-in-law, may be specially targeted in the future because of this relationship, and he is still losing his temper right now.

After suppressing the excitement of several young brothers with one sentence, Zhu Di hurriedly changed the subject, "In a month or two, the central Luzon area should be stable. At that time, I will allocate three training groups and dispatch them Return to the Ming Dynasty and help you train the vassal guards. During this period, firecrackers and artillery will also be sent to you one after another."

…

After a while.

Zhu Xi patted Zhu Di on the shoulder, "Okay, don't worry, you must stabilize your stall first, go and kowtow to your father and mother with little sister Miaoyun."

Zhu Di nodded and walked in the direction of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying.

Xu Miaoyun was talking to a group of sisters-in-law, Princess Chang, Princess Qin Guanyinnu, and Princess Xie of Jin. When she saw Zhu Di going to Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, she also hurriedly ended the conversation.

Went over with the children.

A family of five was just about to kneel down.

He was supported by Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying. Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Di and said, "Save it for later. Select the personnel of the Resettlement Office as soon as possible. My father will arrange it for you. You don't need to consider the office buildings of the Resettlement Office. When your father returns, he will send Li Shanchang to help you choose a site in the coastal provinces..."

Zhu Di nodded with a smile.

My father asked Li Shanchang to handle this matter, and he will definitely do it well.

He talked for a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang forced himself to end the conversation, "Okay, it's getting late, we should go."

After saying that, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the refitted ship that Zhu Di sent him.

new igh.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Di's family of five carefully, as if she was afraid of forgetting, and then turned around and boarded the ship.

Zhu Biao walked up to Zhu Di, patted Zhu Di on the shoulder, nodded, and led Zhu Yunwen into the boat.

Zhu Cang, Zhu 㭎, Crown Princess, Guanyin Nu...

After everyone said hello, they boarded the ship one after another.

Lan Yu walked up to Zhu Di, looked at him, and said with a smile: "Before we say goodbye, let me call you Zhu Laosi..."

Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh.

"When I was hostile to you before, I called you Zhu Silang in private. Later, I started calling you Zhu Laosi in private..."

As he said this, Lan Yu suddenly stopped talking.

He just bowed solemnly, turned around and strode away.

Zhu Laosi was kind to him.

If it weren't for Zhu Laosi, I'm afraid he would have become Feng Sheng and turned into a pile of bones.

Or become Hu Weiyong.

Was kicked out of the court.

Fang Xiaoru stayed at the end, walked up to Zhu Di, and bowed solemnly, "Your Majesty has great grace for all the people in the Central Plains. Your Majesty also proposed a way to govern the world that the sages have never thought of. I firmly believe that no matter this, Whether this road can be successfully implemented in the Central Plains will have a profound impact on ordinary people in the next thousands of years. I wish the prince to take advantage of the wind of the world and soar. I also look forward to hearing more about it in the Central Plains. The legend of the prince across the four seas, and the new fashion!”

Zhu Di looked at Fang Xiaoru.

This guy was among the ten tribes barbarized by ‘other’ people in history.

What will happen next, I can’t say.

But he really never thought that there could be such a kind of sympathy between each other.

He smiled and said, "You, Fang Xizhi, have changed a lot over the years by going deep into the countryside. Before leaving, I would like to give you a message: study. I believe that it is better not to study. I hope that you, Fang Xizhi, can become a mainstay in the reform of the Central Plains and bring benefits to you." Be admired by all people and be famous for generations to come!”

Fang Xiaoru looked up and nodded with a smile, "The prince has expectations for Xi Zhi. Xi Zhi has remembered it and will definitely work hard in this regard."

After bowing again, Fang Xiaoru turned and left.

…

snort!

On the big ship where all the officials were sitting, Lu Ben watched Fang Xiaoru and Zhu Di laughing and chatting, snorted slightly and whispered: "This Fang Xi is walking too fast and too far!"

…

Royal ship.

Xu Xianchang came to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to set off?"

His fleet escorted His Majesty and the Crown Prince back north.

At the same time, according to the prince's request, after the escort fleet returns to the Ming Dynasty, fifty warships will be handed over to the Ming Navy.

At the same time, they must stay in the Daming Navy and help train the Daming Navy.

Then take the warships and merchant ships that transferred prisoners back to Jilong Island.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked in the direction of Zhu Di's family of five and nodded, "Let's go."

Woo woo woo...

Not long after Xu Xianchang took the order and left.

The horns sounded one after another.

The sail slowly rose.

A convoy of fifty warships slowly sailed out of the bay.

"Long live your majesty!"

The people bid farewell and shouted long live.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun waved to Yu Chuan.

"Grandfather! Grandma!" Xiao Qihua ran to the edge of the pier and shouted at the imperial ship.

…

On the royal ship.

Zhu Yunwen stood at the stern of the boat, holding on to the railing, looking at Xiao Qihua who was shouting, and couldn't help but smile.

So what if this crazy girl is especially loved by the emperor's grandfather.

From now on, she won't be able to see her imperial grandfather often!

As time goes by, the emperor's grandfather's love will inevitably fade!

Just when Zhu Yunwen was happy.

Seeing the thick smoke billowing into the sky from the depths of Jilong Island, the smile gradually disappeared.

There, the impact and vibration given to him were too great.

To this day, he still remembers it clearly.

'So what, now my father also has these technologies. Hu Weiyong and grandpa both said that the Ming Dynasty has endless manpower and material resources. As long as it gets these technologies, it will soon completely surpass the fourth uncle's Yan Fan. I will come to Yan Fan again in the future. Not only is he a prince, but he is also a prince of the Ming Dynasty who surpasses Yan Fan in all technologies! ’

…

Zhu Yuanzhang left.

Jilong Island gradually calmed down.

A few days later.

The day before Zhu Di left for Luzon again.

Including Zhu Di's flagship, and five newly built, animal-powered, medium-sized warships are also ready to set off.

Yu Jing led the bravest group of soldiers in the navy who wanted to take risks, as well as several students of Zhu Di, led by Wang Jinmi.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun came to see him off in person.

On the flagship.

Zhu Di looked at Yu Jing and asked with a smile: "Aren't you really afraid?"

Yu Jing shook his head with a smile, "General, I know the prince's intention. If our Yanfan navy wants to become a true blue water navy, we cannot just confine ourselves to the footbath in the South China Sea. We must go out and go deep into the blue water. We will face the wind and waves, and in the wind and waves, we will hone our will and shape our military souls. All brothers who choose to sail away are not afraid..."

…

Zhu Di patted Yu Jing's shoulder and warned: "This is indeed my intention, but I am not telling you not to cherish your life. This time, I will set a goal for you. Treat it as a voyage adaptation training, and try your best. But don’t be brave, if you can’t find the island and land within two months, and you can’t get fresh water food to supplement it, just go back north..."

This time, Yu Jing’s expedition team.

Bringing four months' worth of living necessities.

Fresh water, various pickled dishes, canned fruits sealed with beeswax and packed in large vats, medicines...

Within two months, if supplies cannot be found, they must return north.

"Remember, we must have a plan for everything we do, especially this kind of exploration. When you find the land and islands, get supplies, and set off again in two months, the supplies on the ship must be enough for you to return to this supply point. .”

…

"Your Majesty's teachings will always be kept in mind!"

…

Finally, Zhu Di came to several children.

He reached out and rubbed the little guys' heads, "Are you afraid? Just say it if you are afraid. Don't worry about losing face. When the master was your age, he did many embarrassing things. Your master even took off his pants and left him naked. It’s a slap in the ass!”

These children, headed by Jin Mi, are the most naughty and mischievous of all the children.

active.

He supports them.

It's really a critical moment.

He hoped that the children would say they were afraid and did not want to go.

That way, he'd get the kids off the boat right away!

Let them do something safer.

He Zhu Di, the dignified leader of the Yan vassal, still has the right to take care of his disciples and give his disciples a little preference.

But the children didn't bring it up.

If he forcibly stops her, what's the difference between his father forcibly planning his life for him?

Wang Jinmi and the other children shook their heads, "Master, we are not afraid. We want to go out and have a try."

Zhu Di sighed helplessly and pretended to be happy: "Okay! The master supports you and is proud of your bravery. But before leaving, the master is a little more verbose. You must remember that bravery is okay. This is the excellence of a person." Quality, but never show off! Be reckless! Be brave!”

"Master, we will keep this in mind."

…

On this day, Zhu Di sent a group of brave naval officers and several of his outstanding students.

Embark on an unknown journey.

…

At the end of the nineteenth year of Hongwu.

It took two years.

Nearly two thousand ships were used.

Hundreds of thousands of captives from the Northern Expedition, and their families, all moved to Dongfan and Luzon areas under the rule of Yan Fan.

…

It started in the 20th year of Hongwu.

After several years of cultivation and development, Liu Bowen, the left prime minister, worked hard on the planning.

The Ming Dynasty, after finally cultivating enough practical officials of rural village communities, started the vigorous and comprehensive process of rural village communities.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the full opening of the sea and the complete lifting of the sea ban!

For a time, merchants from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei, and Shandong, who could no longer restrain themselves, began vigorous overseas trade.

During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Li Shanchang to take charge and supervise him.

Comprehensively connect with the resettlement offices established by Zhu Diyan Fan in various coastal provinces.

Groups of people who had completely lost their land brought their families, dozens or hundreds of people, or took advantage of the merchant ships that frequently traveled to the Ming Dynasty.

Or Zhu Di came to pick up the people's warships and transport ships and take them out to sea.

He traveled across the ocean and gradually moved to Manila.

…

At the end of the 20th year of Hongwu.

Jinling Industrial Zone.

It is located outside Wudingmen, on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

"Meet the prince!"

Outside the industrial zone, a group of officials who managed the industrial zone, led by Lu Ben's son Lu Zhao, knelt down to pay homage when Zhu Biao arrived.

Zhu Biao brought Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yunwen, Lan Yu, Fang Xiaoru and others...

After Zhu Biao ordered the officials to retreat, a group of people walked into the industrial zone.

Lu Zhao accompanied Zhu Biao, bending down slightly, with a hint of excitement and flattery, and asked with a smile: "Prince, where should we start our visit first?"

"Let's go see the blast furnace first."

The group of people came to the five blast furnaces. Thick smoke rose from the blast furnaces. Zhu Biao looked up at the two-foot-high blast furnaces.

This is a standard blast furnace capable of producing more than two tons of iron or cement.

It was still the nineteenth year of Hongwu.

It was built under the guidance of the craftsmen sent back by Lao Si.

"I heard that the blast furnace of the fourth Yan Fan has been built. It can produce iron and ten tons of cement at a time. Do we have the technical strength now?"

The smile on Lu Zhao's face could not help but freeze slightly.

His father lost his legs during the Northern Expedition of the Prince, and could no longer serve as an official, so he stayed at home.

After the prince returned with the emperor, he began to guide the construction of Jinling Industrial Zone.

A group of young people were mobilized.

He is one of them.

Because of the guidance of his father and Hu Weiyong, as well as the experience of visiting Yan Fan, and his positive performance, he quickly stood out.

Appointed as the officer-in-charge of the industrial area.

The official position is not high.

Just a seventh grader.

Not even as good as a county magistrate.

If he hadn't failed the examination, he would have really despised this official in charge.

However, my father, Hu Weiyong and others said so.

It may not be impossible to build an industrial zone and be granted the title of a prince or a prime minister.

Moreover, doing a good job in the industrial zone is also related to defeating Zhu Silang in the future and avenging the Lu family.

He has really worked hard in this position.

Can……

"Why, you still can't make it?" Zhu Biao frowned slightly as he looked at Lu Zhao who was hesitating and silent.

"Prince, we don't need to pursue such a large production capacity. If we have more, we won't be able to sell it, and it will be a waste..."

hehe……

Lan Yu sneered and looked at the official who spoke, "Waste? As a martial artist, I know that in mass production, the greater the output, the lower the cost can be reduced..."

Zhu Laosi’s Jilongyu Industrial Zone is also government-run.

But the management, craftsmen, and workers inside are all pregnant.

It stands to reason that the cost should be very high.

But in recent years.

The iron produced by Zhu Laosi Jilong Island was transported to Daming one by one.

To meet the demand for iron in the vigorous promotion of rural village communities in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Laosi Yanfan's iron includes raw material costs, labor costs, and sea freight. Even so, the price is the same as the selling price of Daming!

He even doubted it.

At this price, Zhu Laosi's profit is still huge.

The reason is that the price is the same as that of Daming.

In fact, I don’t want to compete too much with the imperial court and leave a way for these blast furnaces of the imperial court to survive!

From here, it can be seen.

The cost of mass smelting and production of Zhu Laosi's ten-ton blast furnace must be very low!

A group of officials in charge of the industrial zone were stunned by Lan Yu and fell into silence for a while.

Zhu Biao looked at the group of people disappointedly.

It is still unclear what the situation of the fourth Yan Fan is.

But according to Ming Dynasty statistics.

Half of the private pig iron consumption in the Ming Dynasty was occupied by the fourth Yan clan!

That’s not all yet.

The fourth child provided the iron for cannons and muskets to the second child, third child and the feudal guards.

"Tell me about the technical difficulties you encountered."

After saying that, Zhu Biao glanced at Lu Zhao. If Lu Zhao hadn't been so busy, he would have lost weight. Moreover, he sent Ji Gang and Jin Yiwei to conduct a secret investigation to confirm that there was no corruption among the officials of the industrial zone under Lu Zhao's leadership.

He really couldn't hold back his anger.

"Prince, it's mainly iron sheets. The ten-ton blast furnace uses the narrow iron sheet used to build the two-ton blast furnace. It's not strong enough under high temperatures. We added rivets, but it still doesn't work. After firing for thirty or forty furnaces at most, bulging and cracks will appear. Waiting for the situation..."

"We guess that Yan Fan has mastered the technology of making larger iron sheets!"

…

Why was Yan Fan able to break through this technology.

Moreover, Yan Fan, the fourth child, not only broke through in this one technology.

Earlier, the cannons provided to the second and third sons were bronze cannons.

But by the end of this year, it was said that the artillery sent back to Lao Wu was already an iron cannon with a weight similar to that of a copper cannon and a range similar to that of a copper cannon!

According to Jin Yiwei's report.

The craftsmen of the fourth Yan clan mastered the technology of small-scale smelting of steel.

He didn't know what steel was.

But it is said that this kind of iron, which was called steel by the fourth Yan Fan, does not need to be forged and can be directly used to cast iron rods for cannons and firecrackers.

Why, Laosi Yanfan’s technological breakthrough was so fast.

Daming is so slow?

…

I haven’t finished writing the detailed outline today, so I won’t write it in too much detail in the next five or ten years.

I won’t let everyone feel the water. I’m ten minutes late today.

Sorry sorry...
