Chapter 116 Power comes out of the barrel of a gun! ! !

Hu Shanxiang nodded when she heard the words, she knew that the person Zhu Zhanji was talking about should be the maid who arranged for her.

Some thoughts flashed in his mind, and Hu Shanxiang also became a little curious about this maid who hadn't met yet.

After all, if it is an ordinary maid, it is impossible to mention it in person as the grandson, at most it is an order

The door was pushed open, and the candle was already lit in the room, and Sun Ruowei was swallowing a few pieces of snacks.

Hearing the movement, Sun Ruowei turned her head subconsciously, and was choked when she saw Zhu Zhanji, and then she looked angry:
"Cough cough..."

"Where did you go? Throw me here, those people can't see you, and they ignore me when I speak..."

Zhu Zhanji saw that Sun Ruowei still had some crumbs of snacks on the corner of his mouth, and walked over with some amusement, sat casually opposite Sun Ruowei, and then gave way to Hu Shanxiang behind him.

Naturally, it was impossible for Sun Ruowei to turn a blind eye to the extra living person here, and after a pause in the chatter, he subconsciously looked over.

Hu Shanxiang also paused when he saw Sun Ruowei.

Sun Ruowei looked at Hu Shanxiang without blinking, but still couldn't hold back, and asked curiously:
"who are you?"

Hu Shanxiang hesitated for a moment, looked at Sun Ruowei and then at Zhu Zhanji.

Seeing the reaction of the two women, Zhu Zhanji raised his mouth, picked up a piece of snack, walked to Hu Shanxiang and said with a smile:

"Her name is Yao Zijin. I brought her back from outside the palace. She doesn't know much about the rules in the palace. You can teach her more in the future. From now on, she will be your servant girl. You can tell her to do anything you want." .”

"I………"

When Sun Ruowei heard the word "servant", she subconsciously showed a bit of anger, but the next second she suddenly remembered what Zhu Zhanji had told her before, asking her to be her sister's maid, and opened her mouth, leaving The words immediately stuck in his throat.

Zhu Zhanji didn't introduce Hu Shanxiang to Sun Ruowei. Seeing that Sun Ruowei was stunned and didn't bother to disturb the reunion of the two sisters, he smiled and said, "Okay, things are almost done. I still have things to deal with here. You should familiarize yourself first." one time."

"Slave servants respectfully send His Royal Highness Grandson!"

When Hu Shanxiang saw that Zhu Zhanji was leaving, he immediately sent him off respectfully.

When Zhu Zhanji walked out, he got up, and when he looked at Sun Ruowei, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face and said:
"I've heard His Highness the Grandson talk about bringing someone into the Prince's Mansion. It must be you. My name is Hu Shanxiang."

Hu Shanxiang walked up to Sun Ruowei while talking, and pulled Sun Ruowei back to his seat.

Sun Ruowei just looked at Hu Shanxiang blankly, a voice in her heart kept telling her that this was her sister, but she was also a little scared, afraid that Zhu Zhanji just found someone to lie to her.

Being dragged by Hu Shanxiang to sit on the seat, Sun Ruowei came back to her senses. Looking at Hu Shanxiang who was so close in front of her, she couldn't help but opened her mouth and closed it again. She wanted to ask something impulsively several times, but Zhu Zhanji The words told her in the imperial prison made her dare not ask and try.

She was afraid that if the Hu Shanxiang in front of her was really her sister, if she tried to inquire and her identity would be exposed, she would implicate her sister.

Zhu Zhanji's departure made Hu Shanxiang relax a little bit, and her nature recovered a bit. Looking at Sun Ruowei who was staring at her with a complicated face, she couldn't help but tilt her head to look at it, and said with a smile on her face:
"Your name is Yao Zijin, right? I think His Royal Highness seems to be a little special to you. Can you talk to me about how you met His Royal Highness?"

Hearing Hu Shanxiang's question, Sun Ruowei took a few deep breaths, restrained his mood, and squeezed out a smile on his face:
"It was in my father's antique shop. He rushed in with a few guards in brocade clothes, and arrested me without any explanation."

"Caught you?"

Hu Shanxiang was stunned when he heard the words, with a look of incredulity on his face. In her opinion, the grandson has always been gentle, gentle and polite. Except that he sometimes likes to do some bold things in private, he has never bullied others.

How come this "Yao Zijin" in front of him seems to be a dandy who robs civilian women?

She didn't suspect that Sun Ruowei was lying to her. Although she had just met, she grew up in the palace and had her own way of judging people.

Hearing such a different Zhu Zhanji, Hu Shanxiang couldn't help showing a little curiosity on his face: "Then what happened afterwards?"

"later……"

Seeing Hu Shanxiang's curious face, Sun Ruowei subconsciously let go of his defenses. Thinking of how Zhu Zhanji arrested him, he couldn't help showing a bit of annoyance on his face:

"Later, he sent me to the Imperial Prison and asked me to live in the Imperial Prison for free for a period of time."

"Still living in prison for a while?"

Hearing Sun Ruowei's words, Hu Shanxiang was even more surprised.

I feel that none of the picture books I read quietly before seem to have such a plot?

"This matter...is really new..."

.........

"Minister Zhou Chen sees His Royal Highness Taisun!"

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhanji called Zhou Chen into the Qianqing Palace.

These days, Zhou Chen has been in charge of experimenting with the new buildings of the Ming Dynasty.

Calculating the time, it has been almost half a month.

"sit down!"

Indicated that the little snot gave Zhou Chen a seat.

Zhu Zhanji then asked:
"How's the new building experiment going?"

Zhou Chen first thanked him for sitting down, and after sitting down, he cupped his hands and said, "Return to His Royal Highness, the new building is now fully in charge of the design team of the construction company, and four sets of plans have been designed, and I have asked people to choose a place." I started to try to build it, and I think that after the beginning of next year, the first building will be completed."

Zhu Zhanji heard the words: "The construction company is different from the department of the imperial court, and various rules and regulations have to be reconsidered. If the craftsmen in the design team have achieved results, don't be stingy with rewards. I will let Shen Wendu do that in a few days." I will transfer 100 million taels of silver to you first."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Your minister receives the decree!"

Zhu Zhanji continued: "In addition, I have arranged for someone to take over from you to take charge of Huangzhuang's affairs. This person's name is Yu Qian, and he lives in the alley of Dongsi Street. You can send someone to take him to get acquainted with it. , and then you will also hand over to him.”

Zhu Zhanji on Yu Qian's side had an agreement with him yesterday.

Handing over Huangzhuang to Yu Qian can increase Yu Qian's qualifications and make it easier to use in the future.

The second is to help Zhou Chen reduce the burden.

Zhou Chen was not surprised when he heard Zhu Zhanji's words. Zhu Zhanji didn't arrange this matter. In fact, he would find an opportunity to tell Zhu Zhanji about it.

After all, while he is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, he is also concerned with the formation of the Daming First Construction Group Company, greenhouses and new buildings.
All kinds of things are added up, and the production of glass and wool has to be taken care of. In addition, several things are not together. Even if Zhou Chen is busy all day long, sometimes he can't finish these places.

Therefore, he has no objection to handing over the production of glass and wool to others.

Zhu Zhanji paused and said: "There will be more and more things in the future, and you can't be responsible for all of them yourself. You should pay more attention to the Ministry of Industry. If there are suitable talents, you can Let me recommend you, and those craftsmen, I have told you about the importance of craftsmen before, I don’t care what the former Ministry of Industry did to these craftsmen, I hope that after the Ministry of Industry is in your hands, it will pay more attention to craftsmen.”

Increased emphasis on craftsmen is mainly to prepare for improving the status of craftsmen in the future.

The importance of craftsmen is self-evident.

No matter whether we are engaged in scientific research or construction in the future, we cannot do without these craftsmen.

Now that Zhou Chen has mastered the Ministry of Industry and the matter of improving the status of craftsmen, he naturally has to start making some preparations.

However, Zhu Zhanji didn't intend to make a drastic move immediately.

After all, the current class solidification of "scholars, peasants, businessmen and commerce" cannot be changed overnight, including the restrictive household registration system, which affects the whole body.

If he hadn't mastered the Ministry of Industry now, Zhu Zhanji would not easily say things like making people value craftsmen.

Zhou Chen didn't understand Zhu Zhanji's ultimate goal. He only paid attention to Zhu Zhanji's need for craftsmen, so he just nodded when he heard Zhu Zhanji's words.

And Zhu Zhanji didn't intend to explain this to Zhou Chen. After all, things like improving the status of craftsmen can be done quietly by entering the village. When all the dust settles, it will be a natural thing. Know how to make enemies everywhere.

Zhu Zhanji thought about these things, and said: "There is nothing else, even the emperor asked me to form a young army recently, and it is time to make some preliminary preparations. I plan to build the young army barracks at that time. And hand it over to the construction company. I will send some details to you later. After you go down, let the craftsmen of the design team think of ways based on the things I gave. It is best that the military camp can also use it. Concrete construction."

"The minister leads the order!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chen hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji nodded.

The formation of the young army must begin preparations as soon as possible.

There will be more and more things to come, and it is imminent for Zhu Zhanji to have an armed force of his own.

After all, what Zhu Zhanji is doing now will inevitably touch the interests of some people. If he wants to change something completely, even if Zhu Zhanji has been working steadily and steadily along the way, in all likelihood, there will be some problems that need to be resolved by force in the future. matter.

Didn’t the great men of later generations say that power comes out of the barrel of a gun.

To have power, you must have a gun.

Thinking of guns, his heart moved, and he suddenly asked Zhou Chen: "By the way, how many craftsmen are there in the Ministry of Industry who can make firearms?"

After my grandfather ascended the throne, the production management of firearms was still very strict.

The production of firearms has basically been banned locally, and only Jiubian can produce them in small quantities.

Now the main production department of firearms is the Military Weapons Bureau set up by the imperial court in the 13th year of Hongwu to produce various military supplies and weapons.

Later, the functions of the Military Arms Bureau were divided, and it became a department specializing in the production of firearms and weapons, directly under the central government.

In the 28th year of Hongwu, another military bureau was added, which was a department that only produced firearms and belonged to the inner government.

The Bingzhan Bureau belongs to the inner government and is the eunuch's office, which is in charge of the palm print eunuch personally arranged by Zhu Di, and Zhu Zhanji has no chance to intervene.

However, the Military Weapons Bureau belongs to the Ministry of Industry, and now Zhou Chen is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, so the Military Weapons Bureau can naturally be regarded as in the hands of Zhu Zhanji.

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and said: "Reporting to His Majesty, the Armament Bureau currently has more than [-] craftsmen, including more than [-] apprentices, and more than [-] people who can make firearms. They can produce all kinds of firearms every month. There are more than a thousand firearms."

Zhou Chen knew that His Highness the grandson attached great importance to the Ministry of Industry, so he also learned a lot about the Ministry of Industry during this period of time.

So when Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth, he just thought for a while, and then said it out.

Zhu Zhanji is not very interested in the firearms output of the Military Weapons Bureau. Although Daming's firearms lead the world in this era, it is undeniable that firearms are still very backward.

Even in the face of cold weapons, they can't maintain their advantage. Once the distance is shortened, or the weather is bad, they will even fall into an absolute disadvantage.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanji ordered: "After you go down, select [-] experienced craftsmen from among these craftsmen, and then send them to the Prince's Mansion. I have other arrangements."

Zhou Chen didn't agree immediately when he heard the words, but looked at Zhu Zhanji hesitantly and said worriedly: "Grandson, firearms craftsmen are different from other craftsmen, should we report this matter to the emperor first?"

Zhou Chen was thinking about Zhu Zhanji. Zhu Zhanji wanted to mobilize the craftsmen who made firearms. He knew without guessing that His Royal Highness was planning to make firearms himself.

Although making a small amount of firearms is not a big deal for His Majesty the grandson, if the quasi-students mobilized a group of firearms craftsmen into the palace, if the news of this matter reached the ears of the emperor, they would inevitably not think too much about it.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will report this matter to the emperor!"

The purpose of mobilizing some craftsmen is that Zhu Zhanji intends to form a firearms research team.

Although compared to that great-grandfather, my grandfather's views on firearms are somewhat fearful.

However, the research on firearms has never been banned. It is only inclined to secrecy and control of technology. In order to stabilize the rule, this prohibits the local production of firearms.

Zhu Zhanji believes that if he really develops some advanced firearm technology, as long as the technology is not leaked, Zhu Di, a war madman, can only be happy.

And this is also a very beneficial thing for Zhu Zhanji.

Although due to the rules, it is impossible for him to use firearms to equip a large number of young troops, but it is not a problem to produce some for training, or to form a small number of elite troops.

Zhou Chen saw that Zhu Zhanji knew the stakes here, and knew that he was worried too much, so he laughed and said, "If that's the case, I'm worrying too much!"

"It's a good thing to worry too much. Don't be afraid to say the wrong thing here, as long as what you say is justified!"

Zhu Zhanji smiled, then picked up the tea bowl and said:
"There's nothing else to do, go get busy!"

Seeing Zhu Zhanji serving tea off to the guests, Zhou Chen immediately saluted and said:
"I retire!"

Seeing Zhou Chen leave, Zhu Zhanji put down the tea bowl.

Now he has more and more things in his hands. With the mastery of the Ministry of Industry, many things can be put on the agenda.

From the successful production of cement, the construction of the two imperial academies in the Ming Dynasty, and the writing of Xie Jin’s enlightenment books on the side of the prison, as well as glass, wool, etc.,

If you add the formation of the young army, there are newspapers, greenhouses and so on.

Especially for cement and colleges, when Zhou Chen has almost done the research on cement, then the infrastructure construction from Yingtian can almost officially start.

There is also the matter of the academies. The two Royal Academies have been established for a long time, and may not see results in a short time.

But as long as Xie Jin finishes the enlightenment books, Zhu Zhanji can directly popularize and promote education on the basis of sociology.
