Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1840 Wedding

The eldest lady of the Li family married into the Chu residence, and it was rare for Chu Yun to hold a banquet in the military master's residence and invite a group of people to come over for a wedding banquet.Firecrackers were set off in front of the gate of the Military Lord's Mansion, and the firecrackers crackled all over the place.

Li Jinde put on the silk dress that he thought was the most decent. As the woman's parent, he was fortunate to marry Chu Yun, so he naturally paid attention to appearance.Although he has a rich family now, he still feels honored to sit at the same table with Chu Yun.

His great success in business is based on the international order and industrial progress created by Chu Yun.

"We Imperial Chemicals have developed the electrolysis method for aluminum production and the production of hard aluminum alloys. I want to give the above technology to the government for free as a dowry, and there is also a dowry of 20 taels to show my heart." Li Jinde said.

This guy is really rich, so he directly took 20 taels of silver as a dowry.How much money has Imperial Chemicals made in the past few years?

Chu Yun didn't have much opinion on Li Jinde's Li's Chemicals and Imperial Chemicals' opening up the market. It's better to say that his chemical factories made up for the gaps in some government factories.

Government-run factories can't cover everything, they can only focus on some important places, and if we really want to compare economic benefits, maybe private factories are more profitable, because businessmen are profit-oriented.

Chu Yun shook his head: "I have accepted the aluminum-making technology and the hard aluminum alloy technology, but there is no need for the 20 taels of silver dowry."

Chu Yun is still very greedy for aluminum technology and duralumin technology.

Li Jinde is not just making money, or in order to make more money, he has to let employees research new technologies and form technical barriers.

This is equivalent to indirectly helping Chu Yun improve the technology in the chemical industry, and Chu Yun can devote part of his manpower and energy to research in other fields.

In fact, many industrial technologies should not be discovered by the government, but developed by scholars and private factories.The main reason is that the industrial technology started before, and there was a lack of any industrial technology foundation in the 17th century. Chu Yun had to take over all aspects. Now that private factories have their own technology, it is a good thing.

Seeing that Chu Yun was unwilling to ask for 20 taels of silver, Li Jinde probably didn't want to get involved in the evolution factory, so he didn't insist. In any case, if Chu Yun wanted to come down with the aluminum-making technology and duralumin alloy, it could be regarded as letting himself down a bit. In the future, my daughter will have a bit of confidence in the Chu Mansion.

"I heard that the value of Li's Chemicals' shares in the Beijing Stock Exchange has changed from 20 taels of silver at the beginning to 100 million taels of silver. The value of Imperial Chemicals should be several times that of Li's Chemicals. The branch in England." Chu Yun obviously investigated the details of this in-law.

"It is thanks to the Jingshi University established by your lord that has provided us with a large number of talents for Imperial Chemicals and Li's Chemicals. Our factory has recruited a group of outstanding graduates from the School of Chemistry, so that we can independently develop chemical technology." Li Jinde said, "Now we The factory is planning to transport several shipments of fertilizers to Europe and sell them at several times the price. In addition, it has also invested in a New England company. It is said that there are many rivers and plains in North America, and a large amount of fertilizers should be needed in the future. I think that in the future, North America may become a large and fertile farm, providing us with a lot of food, and we can monopolize industry."

Turning North America into big farms?Chu Yun also had such thoughts.The European side has been controlled through ironclad ships, electric wires, railways and other means, and there are also countries of the Holy Alliance monitoring the European continent.

Maybe Chu Yun will strengthen his control over North America and South America in the future to prevent the emergence of a powerful country in North America and South America.

Anyway, there can only be China as a big country in the world, and at least it must be one or two generations ahead of other civilizations in the world in technology.

"I will plan for the next 20 years in North America. North America has vast plains, numerous rivers and lakes, and will become China's granary along with the Indian peninsula," Chu Yun said.

Both the Indian peninsula and the North American plains have huge agricultural potential. Turning them into large granaries can at least double the population of China.

Well, let the people in North America and India concentrate on farming in the future, and then export grain to China, and Huaxia produces mid-to-high-end industrial products and sells them in exchange for grain.

In this way, the local industrial development can be suppressed, and the local land potential can be brought into play.

Chu Yun set up a few tables of wine in the mansion. Ling'er, who was the groom's official, and Miss Li, the bride, had to be persuaded to drink because of the festive atmosphere.

Seeing the increasing number of family members, Chu Yun felt a little sad, and drank a few more glasses with Li Jinde.

Ling'er had a relationship with Chen Yuanyuan. At this time, the two were relieved, and Chen Yuanyuan toasted Ling'er.

"Are they living in the Military Lord's Mansion? Or do they want to live outside? If they live outside, I can pay for the house." Li Jinde was also drunk and said to Chu Yun.

He now has an eldest daughter and a young son, and the family property of millions of taels will definitely be left to them in the future. Buying a mansion in the capital for his daughter is a trivial matter for him.

"Stay in the Military Lord's Mansion for the time being, and at least live outside after having a grandson." Chu Yun issued an order.

Even though the youngest daughter, Princess Victoria, Chu Weier is only in her early ten years, Chu Yun wants to have a grandson now.

"That's right, it's best to have ten or eight children, and we can also have grandsons and granddaughters in our Li residence." Li Jinde also wanted to have a grandson.

Li Yinger married to the Chu Mansion, and if she had a son or daughter, she would usually live in the Chu Mansion.

Ling'er and Li Yinger took turns to toast. Seeing that they couldn't stand it, Chu Yun said, "They are tired too, let them go to rest quickly. I also want to hug my grandson quickly."

Hearing what Chu Yun said, everyone couldn't help chuckling for a while.

Ling'er and Li Yinger blushed, "Fathers, then we'll go back to the side room."

Chu Yun waved his hand and said, "Go quickly. The rest of the people can't wait until they have a bridal chamber, and they won't go home until they're drunk!"

Several female relatives were at the same table, Da Yu'er said: "Your Excellency still keeps saying the same thing, but he has a lot of preference for Ling'er and Ying'er, so don't think about making trouble in the bridal chamber this time, Your Excellency also wants to hug a grandson quickly. "

Chu Xue'er pouted and said, "Brother Ling'er is dating Brother Ying'er, and when she has a child, isn't Xue'er going to become an old aunt?"

"You are still an old aunt, so how can we be so embarrassed? Sister Dayuer, I know the family of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and their son is a young talent. How about letting Xueer go on a blind date?" Liu Rushi said to Dayuer.

Chu Xueer was always teased by Liu Rushi, so she hurriedly said: "I'm just talking casually, I still want to work in the household department in the future, so I don't want to get married so soon."

The women asked: "It seems that you want to be a female official?"

Xue'er curled her lips: "Of course."

Everyone didn't take it seriously at this time, but Chu Xue'er really became one of the top high-ranking officials after a few years, provoked economic wars from time to time, and made many kingdoms frightened, this is another story.
