Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 663
It turns out that the 'internship' mentioned by Mr. Shanchang means a job test!Song Yingxing thought.

In the Ming Dynasty, even if he became a Jinshi and became a quasi-county magistrate, there was still a one-year probationary period, which was called a trial position in Ming Dynasty. The crown prince had to study for a period of time before he ascended the throne. Of course, the emperor did not have a probationary period. In the Ming Dynasty, it was called Guanzheng.

It's also true that Mr. Shanchang came here to take a walk to digest food, and it turned out that he was really thinking about these students, which is commendable, commendable!

Uncle Song has always had relatively low expectations of Liu Hongjian, a young prince. Anyway, whether it is the Engineering College or the Ordnance Institute, it is his own one-third of an acre of land.

He didn't expect Liu Hongjian to really do it himself and forge the future for Daming. As long as he didn't have high targets and ordered blindly, he and Brother Xu would help.

Uncle Song didn't think it was a bad idea for all the students proposed by Mr. Shan Chang to go out for a job test. After all, after finishing the courses of the college, could it be possible that they will spend the next year in the college eating and drinking?

It's just... Uncle Song turned his head and glanced at Uncle Xu. He saw the same question in Uncle Xu's eyes.

"My lord, mining department..." Uncle Song frowned slightly, as if he couldn't bear to speak.

He didn't want to discourage Mr. Shanchang who was enthusiastically cheering up the students, but civil engineering, water conservancy, and even smelting were all okay, at most, he would say hello to the Ministry of Industry and follow the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to the workshop to observe.

But the Mining Division is going to prospect for mines, and most of the miners are in deep mountains and old forests, and if prospecting is so easy, how can Daming fall into financial difficulties?
Whenever gold, silver, and copper mines were found in any place in the Ming Dynasty, it was a time for the imperial court, including the Holy One, to drink and cheer. Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it has been dragged down by the lack of silver. suffering.

It's not that the Ministry of Industry didn't work hard. Every year, the Ministry of Industry sent many people to search for ore in various places, but with little success.

Experienced craftsmen are not good enough, and the Mining Department of the Engineering College is full of teenagers in their [-]s, [-]s, [-]s, so how can they take on this important task?

"Mr. Song, don't worry, Mr. Benshan has considered this issue." Liu Hongjian turned his head and smiled slightly, indicating that he would explain to him later.

Just kidding, he is a traveler who came here with a mineral distribution map. Although the place names at this time are quite different from the maps of later generations, it doesn't matter!

The Ministry of War has a detailed map of the Ming Dynasty. Although the scale is not accurate enough, it can match the ancient and modern place names one by one. The students of the excavation department only need to find out the map.

Liu Hongjian only regretted that the mineral distribution map was too general. He only indicated on the map that there were iron mines in Qian'an, Hebei, Ma'anshan, Anhui, and Panzhihua, Sichuan, and drew a solid triangle.

Nope...that's too succinct.

There is no way, the sky will send a great mission to the people, and they must first make them explore the mines. Although the journey is more difficult, and it is not easy to climb mountains to explore the mines, but someone still needs to do the work.

What he can do is to point out to these students what mines are in a certain place in a certain province, and then give these students their own way in the name of Anguo County King, so that they can get some government support when they pass by a certain place.

Compared with the frowning Uncle Song and Uncle Xu, the students of the engineering college are young people who don't know how to feel sad, and they are all gearing up, thinking that they can finally go out of the college to show their skills.

Although there is no salary for going out to practice, you can still learn experience by taking care of food and housing. This is not a problem for the poor children who are used to hardship. After all, even if you ask a skilled master, you have to work for the master for three years. of.

"The head of the mountain has high hopes for you, especially the students of the mining department. The journey is long and the mountain road is rough. The head of the mountain allows you to go home and reunite with your parents. You should not hide the prospecting from your family.

If you don't want to go, or if your family members don't let you go, the head of the mountain will not force you, but the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak. If you succeed in prospecting, the head of the mountain will definitely use it, so let's go! "

Liu Hongjian waved his hand and dismissed the excited students.

Industrial take-off doesn’t just take off, it requires a huge investment in scientific research funds, a large number of Ming craftsmen and a friendly working environment for craftsmen, all of which will take time.

The students of the engineering college have to do physical training for half an hour every morning, in order to cope with the physical labor that will definitely occur in the future. After all, no matter what they do, the body is the capital of the revolution.

Liu Hongjian's announcement that all the students went out to practice was not a temporary idea, but after careful consideration.

Daming is a country with a large population, but it can't be called a country with a lot of resources, and he is very clear about places with a lot of overseas resources. Let these students go to prospecting and experience first, which is also to prepare for the future.

Daming's mineral resources cannot be exhausted. The era of great voyages was an era of robbery. Daming's mineral resources should still be reserved for future generations to use. Now he can grab as many as he can while he is young.

Another reason is smelting, and the most important thing is the problem of firearm shell casings. Although paper bullet casings are a very mature technology in the ordnance institute, paper bullet casings are easy to be affected by moisture. Many terrains and bad weather conditions Cannot be cast down.

The rear-loading gun must replace the paper cartridge case with a metal cartridge case, and the metal cartridge case does not have the problem of primer, and there is also the problem of cartridge case.

The most suitable raw material for bullet casings is brass, which has good stretchability. It was still an important raw material for manufacturing bullet casings in many countries until the 70s and [-]s.

It’s just that Ming Dynasty was a copper-deficient country, and many big countries in later generations also suffered from the lack of more brass to make bullet casings due to frequent wars, and then there were various alloy bullet casings, including copper-clad steel, lead, zinc, tin, aluminum, etc. Use as an alternative to full brass.

The Ordnance Institute has mastered the technology of converter coking and steelmaking, which also means that Daming already has the basis for refining alloys. Some materials with relatively high melting points, such as tungsten, can be refined with converters.

This group of students from the School of Engineering will be of great use in the future.

After leaving the engineering college, Liu Hongjian returned to Xishan again, and he did not forget to say hello to Uncle Song, don't forget the medicinal wine.

In the next few days, he stayed honestly in Xishan Bieyuan, teasing his children and walking the dog for nothing, but Le Shulu, a first-year student of the martial arts hall, took a day off to visit his younger sister Qiqige in Xishan Bieyuan.

The fully enclosed system implemented in the martial arts hall, in addition to teaching tactics, strategies, weapons, etc., physical training is also carried out simultaneously.

Le Shulu has been studying in the martial arts hall for nearly a year, and he is no longer the rough guy who didn't even know a few big characters when he first came. Although he is as tall and tall as his father Babara, his manner and conversation are better than before. How many.

Although the reason was to visit his sister, in fact he still wanted to see Liu Hongjian. After all, his father Babara had told him when he came from the Ujumqin Prairie that he had to spend more time with the prince when he came to the capital.

Babara seemed reckless, but he was clear in his heart. If he wanted to lead the army well in the Ming Dynasty, he must have a thigh in the court, and Liu Hongjian was that thigh.

Le Shulu stood there for a long time without thinking of how to flatter Liu Hongjian. This feeling was worse than letting him charge into battle.

After finally mustering up the courage to speak, unexpectedly, a father-in-law came to the door at this time.

"My lord, my lord called you into the palace!" It was Da Pang Hai, the supervisor of ceremonies, who came. After experiencing the last turmoil, this guy dared not neglect Liu Hongjian at all.

"Oh? What is the Holy Majesty calling me to do? I wonder if my father-in-law can show me?" Liu Hongjian said bluntly.

If ordinary courtiers wanted to ask why they were named, they would have to give them a red envelope, but Liu Hongjian had no intention of giving it at all.

"The imperial concubine gave birth to a prince." Pang Dahai was not annoyed, and said softly with a smile.

The imperial concubine gave birth to a son, why call me the king?

　Thanks to book friend Zhu Youjian, Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, Drunken Lights Looking at the Axe, Dragon Scale Feiyu for the reward of 100 taels, and book friend AsukaRan for the reward of 2000 taels.
