Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 513 Romanov Dynasty
"Your Majesty, Mr. Gu has talent in foreign affairs. It's a pity to stay in the Ministry of War. The Martial Arts Hall just lacks talents in this field. Why don't you..." Liu Hongjian glanced at the expressionless Chongzhen and said.

Talents who understand foreign affairs but are not rigidly attached to the idea of ​​heaven and earth are rare. Zheng Sen is one of them, but he is too young after all, and it is impossible for him to come to the capital due to family problems.

There are some officials in the Ministry of Rites who specialize in receiving foreign guests who know a little about foreign feudal affairs, but these old men have been soaked in Confucianism for a long time, even if Liu Hongjian went to the lectures himself, he would not let these old men harm others.

"You son of a bitch! There is no shadow of the school yet, so you have started poaching corners here." Although Chongzhen said he was not happy, he didn't have much resistance in his heart.

After all, Ming Dynasty has never been short of alternate officials, and the seats in the imperial court are full of radishes and pits. I don’t know how many people are thinking about someone falling from the top, so that they can climb up.

After finalizing the matter of the engineering college and the martial arts hall, Liu Hongjian no longer cared about the trivial affairs of the government, and quickly became a full-time contractor.

The twelfth lunar month rolled by, and Liu Hongjian didn't even have time to lament that he was one year older, and devoted himself to the vigorous mass production movement.

The construction team composed of more than 6000 migrant workers was divided into three waves. One wave was in charge of the two camps, one wave was in charge of the engineering college, and the other wave was in charge of the reconstruction of Xishan.

In winter, many fallow lands in the north were hit by drought again. In order to make use of free strong labor while distributing disaster relief food, with the approval of Chongzhen and the presidency of the Ministry of Industry, a vigorous trench digging campaign began across the north.

Chongzhen has only one purpose. If the drought continues in the coming year, it is bound to allow the canal to irrigate the entire north.

This is also a super project, with mass production of cement, red bricks, and concrete. The cement workshop in Zhendingfu has been expanded again and again, and it has faintly become the primary industry of Zhendingfu in just a few months.

Since all the industries of the Ordnance Institute are privately owned, at best Chongzhen is regarded as the controlling shareholder, and various raw materials provided by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households are sold to the Ordnance Institute at a low price of [-]%.

After the cement and red bricks are produced, an additional [-]% profit is added to sell them to the Ministry of Industry. Although it is only [-]% profit, the Ordnance Institute still makes a lot of money due to the huge shipments.

A lot of money was spent, and it was all spent on the heads of the people, but what they did was to benefit the country and the people, and the court dared not say much.

Anyway, the disaster victims need to be rescued, and there are plenty of well-fed people everywhere. The only thing they can give is their strength.

The money flowed back into the Ordnance Institute, and was then spent by Liu Hongjian on the reconstruction of the two schools and the Western Hills.

The engineering college covers an area of ​​[-] mu. The red brick wall about two feet high was the first to be built. The concrete building of the Ordnance Institute was very successful. Liu Hongjian stubbornly changed part of the engineering college buildings into concrete buildings.

Especially the landmark building in the middle of the College of Engineering - a six-storey concrete building standing in the middle of the College of Engineering, towering over the entire College of Engineering.

Although a six-story building is nothing in later generations, it is already a skyscraper in the flat Shuntian Mansion. Standing on the top of the building, you can almost have a panoramic view of the entire capital.

Although the appearance is slightly weird, the craftsmen are all proud of it. On the other hand, Gu Jia, who is in charge of the construction work of the martial arts hall, is not very interested in concrete buildings.

Gu Jia's temper is a bit serious, except for leaving a place for Liu Hongjian to build his own residence, all other buildings are typical Ming-style buildings.

"Tian Gong Zuo Mei" has not snowed all winter, and in the first month, the projects of the two colleges have been half completed.

In addition to controlling the overall progress, Liu Hongjian has already started discussing with Song Yingxing about the subjects of the Engineering College.

Civil engineering, water conservancy engineering, textile engineering, metal materials, firearms engineering, naval engineering...everything that the two think is important is included.

When it was over, Liu Hongjian added two more items to the list—physics and chemistry. Song Yingxing had never heard of these two items, but out of trust in Liu Hongjian, he didn't ask too much.

The former textbooks were all provided by the Ordnance Institute. As early as the establishment of the Ordnance Institute, under Liu Hongjian's initiative, the craftsmen of the Ordnance Institute began to sum up their experience.

Nowadays, the experience summed up by various craftsmen, and then classified by Song Yingxing to remove the dross, has become a natural textbook.

In addition to Liu Hongjian's technical support based on various basic sciences in the ring, elementary physics and chemistry were also fiddled with by Liu Hongjian.

At the same time, Xishan also started to rebuild. More than [-] construction workers were fully fired, and various research institutes were built on the slightly flat east side of Xishan.

The top of Xishan was not spared either. Liu Hongjian built rows of wooden pavilions. This will be Liu Hongjian's new home. Considering the feelings of the family members, except for the necessary protective walls and foundations, all All wooden construction.

A flat bluestone step connects the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. There are several outposts for garrisoning troops on the mountainside. Each outpost houses a hundred households and is responsible for the security of the entire Western Mountain.

In the middle of the first lunar month, Polochi, the prime minister of the Chahar Khanate, visited Daming in person. After a short period of expansion, the Chahar Khanate finally met its opponents, the emerging Romanov dynasty and the Russian bear!

The founder of the Romanov dynasty, the first Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov died of illness in July 18th year of Chongzhen, and his son Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov succeeded him. bit.

After a brief reshuffle, the second generation of tsars regrouped and started the long-cherished wish of the Romanov dynasty for 300 years - to find an outlet to the sea.

The Tsar went south and Chahar went north. The two countries met at Lake Baikal. Despite the severe cold of tens of degrees below zero, they fought a protracted war in the Siberian wasteland, and both sides suffered losses.

Po Luochi's good words were approved by Chongzhen, and he bought more than [-] second-hand guns of the first generation who had retired from the frontier army from the ordnance store at a high price.

At the end of the first month, Chongzhen was seriously ill again, and he had to announce that the prince Zhu Cihong would continue to supervise the country, but he did not announce his illness to the outside world.

Liu Hongjian took great risks to perform another surgical operation for Chongzhen, cutting off the lesion on his left shoulder, but the disease had already tortured Chongzhen into a skinny old man.

Before, his hair was still gray and white, but now even gray hair is rare. He is 36 years old but looks as old as 60 years old.

After resting in the deep palace for more than half a month, when Chongzhen came to the court again, all the officials were shocked. Chongzhen coughed no less than five times in the early morning, and finally had to leave the court early.

Many officials didn't know what kind of disease Chongzhen was suffering from, and the elders who knew the inside story and the imperial hospital were silent. Many courtiers began to consider what happened to Chongzhen.

Since ancient times, the replacement of emperors has been a major event in the celestial dynasty, and all officials understand the truth of one emperor and one courtier.

A strange atmosphere filled the court, and the entire capital became panic-stricken.

"A bunch of bastards! I'm not dead yet!" Chongzhen was furious and threw the celadon tea bowl in his hand to pieces.
