People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 280 Everyone in the court was shocked! The first batch of graduates from the academy are all at level seven or above! If you want to be rich, build roads first

But after the three of them joked for a while,

King Gu said: "Although this matter about Third Brother is funny, we can't take him seriously yet. We still have to do business."

Zhao Huaide also said hurriedly: "Your Highness, it is true that although the Duke of the country gave us half a year to lay the foundations of the two cities,

But the twelfth lunar month of winter is about to enter. Once the twelfth lunar month of winter enters, the Tatars in the north will never show mercy.

If they have no food to eat, they will go south to plunder. We don't have much time. "

After hearing what they said, King Jin knew that the most important thing now was to complete the construction of the city.

So King Jin spread the map he drew on the table, "Put the maps you drew together."

Gu Wang and Zhao Huaide put the maps they had made together. After putting the three maps together, they found that they could be connected together.

This is the area that each of the three of them is responsible for.

King Jin pointed to the key pass at Feihukou that he had selected, "The reason why we chose this place to build the city is because

Look at Feihukou, with mountains and cliffs on both sides.

Only the middle road formed a valley. We built on the south side of the two peaks and built the first city station named Feihu City.

Feihu City spans two high mountains, relying on the mountain pass as the city gate. The steep mountains form a strong protection.

We plan to build this city to accommodate at least 200,000 people.

Taking Feihukou as the starting point and heading eastward is a difficult point we are mainly trying to overcome now. "

King Gu said: "Third brother, your starting point is Feihukou, and my starting point is Jingning Fort.

There are more than 400 miles between us. What I mean is to build a small bridge-like town between Feihukou and Jingningbao.

Since large and small markets are to be formed between Datong and Xuanfu, it is very reasonable to set up a large market between Feihukou and Jingningbao, which is a hundred miles away.

The big market is actually a smaller walled city. It connects Feihukou and Jingning Fort according to the cement pavement standards set by the Grand Duke.

Although it is four hundred miles long, once the cement road is paved, the round trip between the two places will only take half a day.

There are large markets dotted in the middle, and five hundred to one thousand troops are arranged to support each large market.

I think this large section is enough to ensure safety. In the future, after the cities of Feihukou and Jingningbao are completed, the big market in the middle will be completed one by one. What do you think, third brother? "

Zhao Huaide also looked at King Jin at the same time.

King Jin frowned and looked at the distance of four hundred miles between the two places.

There are many mountain peaks stretching in the middle. Although they are not high, he has visited the border once and knows that it is really difficult to build roads in some places.

King Jin did not express his opinion, but looked at Zhao Huaide.

Zhao Huaide then said: "Besides Xuanfu, we have also selected several towns to connect with each other.

At the same time, we also intend to build a batch of large markets between Jingningbao and Xuanfu, and eventually connect all the large markets with cement pavements.

This is of great significance for our mutual contact, and it can be implemented not only in Datong, but also in Pingliang Prefecture and Ningxia under the jurisdiction of King Su and King Qing.

In this case, it will be a huge project. "

The King of Jin said: "Now, sir, we have been granted 10 million Guan banknotes. In addition, from the hands of these twenty-two Shanxi merchants, we have obtained another 2.2 million Guan banknotes and the property confiscated from the Zhang family." How much does it add up to more than 1.1 million yuan in banknotes?

That is more than 13 million yuan. This money is our current capital, which is our capital to build the entire northwest barrier.

With this capital, we can even directly recruit 10,000 migrant workers and pay them every month so that these migrant workers can work down-to-earth.

With these 10,000 migrant workers working on the construction site, how many traders will be driven into the business of eating, drinking and eating?

Not to mention that our business in Xuanfu and Datong will be stimulated, how many businessmen from the mainland will come here to do business after hearing the news?

Folks, this is big business.

As the Duke of Guo said, never limit your sights to one place, but also look to the world. "

King Gu and Zhao Huaide were also excited to hear this.

While they were talking, someone came from outside to report, "Your Highness, students from the Daming Institute of Engineering from the capital have arrived at the residence. Do you want to invite them to meet them?"

The King of Jin was overjoyed: "Did you see that? Did you see that? Some time ago, my husband just sent me a letter, saying that he would send a team of twenty talents to each of our two places to guide us. Now they are here, of course. If you want, invite them over immediately!”

Both Gu Wang and Zhao Huaide were very surprised.

Although they have not seen with their own eyes how the cement factory and the red brick factory are built, but now that these students trained by Chen Han's Daming Engineering College are here to provide personal guidance, their own people will definitely be able to successfully imitate those factories in the capital in the future.

Thinking of this, the two people suddenly felt excited.

This is the prelude to doing great things.

Especially Gu Wang, he was so excited that his palms became sweaty.

He once thought that he could only be a vassal king waiting to die.

In this life, he may only be able to sit at the border fortress, and his most active activity is to lead troops and horses, and cooperate with the brothers at the border to resist the Tatars heading south.

But they didn't expect that after Chen Han arrived, they would be able to use them again.

What a great honor it is to be able to personally participate in such a magnificent project.

This is much better than being a prince who only eats and waits for death all day long.

This is both a challenge and an opportunity for them.

It's better than just watching your life go by all day long.

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside.

Then twenty young people came in under the leadership of the steward of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Each of these twenty young people is wearing uniform clothing.

On their chests, they all wear the school emblem of Daming Engineering College.

King Jin and King Gu had visited Daming Engineering College and knew their uniform attire and their school emblem.

As soon as they saw these two people, they were immediately delighted.

After those students came up, they immediately presented themselves to King Jin and King Gu.

King Jin and King Gu were even more surprised when they saw the visitor, "Are you Zhou Dazhu?"

Zhou Dazhu, who was leading the team, smiled and said: "I didn't expect that your two highnesses would still remember me?"

King Jin was overjoyed: "When we visited Daming Engineering College last time, you introduced us to it. Even Mr. Chen said that you were the elite among the first batch of students."

Zhou Dazhu was not a scholar by birth. He was a carpenter before, but now he has become a phoenix.

He can directly lead the team to guide the prince.

They are the first batch of talents who have studied at Daming Engineering College for a year and a half. They have personally built various factories, so they are sent to various places to personally guide the construction of factories in various places. Daming Engineering College, under the leadership of Chen Han, has completed several groups of talent dispatches like this.

In addition to coming to the northwest, they were sent to Beiping, Liaodong, and even Jiangnan, Lingnan, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places under Yan King Zhu Di.

A total of 200 people, ten such teams, were dispatched.

Taking the various data and drawings given by Chen Han and the knowledge they learned from Daming Engineering College, they went to Quantian to guide the construction of local factories.

The purpose is to speed up the replication of factories in Beijing all over the world.

It is worth mentioning that at least half of each team sent out has obtained the certificate of qualification from Daming Institute of Engineering.

When they graduated, their grades were very good, and Zhou Dazhu was exceptionally promoted to the rank of head of the Ministry of Industry of the sixth rank.

This time, ten of the students he led passed the examination.

The other nine people were interns who were brought in to participate in practical operations.

Among the eleven people including him, except for him who is the principal of the sixth grade, the rest of the graduates are all ministers of the Ministry of Industry of the seventh grade.

Among their team of 200 people, more than 100 were Yuanwailang of the seventh rank.

Also because they were the first batch to graduate and obtain official positions, they received the most rigorous teaching.

This is also the first batch of officials trained by Daming Engineering College.

When they all obtained official positions and truly entered the officialdom, they were personally received by His Majesty the Emperor and conferred titles by His Majesty the Crown Prince himself.

The scene at that time frightened both civil and military officials.

At first they thought what Chen Han said, 'After graduating from Daming Engineering College, you will be able to obtain official positions' was a joke, but they didn't expect that it really happened.

According to Chen Han's plan, he had to complete four years of academic tasks.

They have achieved academic success in only one and a half years now because Chen Han not only strengthened their studies, but also strengthened their practical abilities.

Because they have been involved in the entire factory construction process from scratch.

They personally designed various factories of Daming Engineering College and personally participated in the transformation of various assembly line machinery.

Their experience is so rich that it can be said that they have worked hard from scratch.

Because of this, they were able to graduate early.

After the latter group of students entered school, they did not have as many opportunities for them to practice as their seniors did, so they needed more time to train.

After Zhou Dazhu arrived, he gave a courtesy to King Jin and King Gu. King Jin and King Gu looked at the twenty of them and said with great joy, "Sir, sending you here is the greatest support for us. You If you have any requirements, just ask us, and we will fully cooperate with you to set up the factory."

Zhou Dazhu also smiled and said: "Your Highnesses, your Majesty told us before we set off that when we arrived at the place, we must obey your Highnesses' instructions. Our main purpose is to build the cement factory first and help the northwest area clear the road first." Paved.

Our husband has a good saying, if you want to get rich, build roads first, and then do other construction after paving the roads, you will get twice the result with half the effort. "

Zhou Dazhu, the King of Jin Valley and Heavenly King, burst out laughing after his words: "Sir, you are right, you are right, if you want to be rich, you must first build roads. This sentence happened to be what we were discussing just now.

Now that we have the money in hand, we just need to start construction. How will you arrange it? How many people are needed? We will do our best to arrange as much stone as you need. "

Zhou Dazhu did not pretend to be pretentious and asked directly: "I wonder where His Highness the King of Jin is going to choose a better place to build a cement plant."

Said Zhou Dazhu. A large pile of information was piled on the table.

Then there are various project construction requirements spread out.

He pointed to the requirements of the cement plant and said to King Jin: "This is the standard for building a cement plant. It lists how many stones are needed? How much water is needed? The required environmental requirements, etc."

After looking at it, the King of Jin said: "This is very simple. We can choose several places in Taiyuan Prefecture. Now that the Western Branch of the Ming Dynasty Chamber of Commerce has been established, fifty or sixty Shanxi merchants have joined it. When the time comes, they will fund the construction.

As for the arrangement of migrant workers, I have just discussed it with Gu Wang Zhao Huaide and others. We will directly hire migrant workers and pay them as the teacher said at the time. We must let those migrant workers see remuneration, let the surrounding people see benefits, and let businessmen from all over the place see the benefits. Only when we can see business opportunities can we meet our requirements for large-scale projects. "

Zhou Dazhu nodded: "Indeed, this is also the experience taught to us by Mr.

According to what Mr. Wang said, we must go through the local economy for road construction.

As for which road to build first, let’s build the cement plant first.

Without further ado, I would like to ask His Highness King Jin to arrange the accommodation for us people. We will start working tomorrow. We really can’t wait. "

King Jin and King Gu were even more impressed when they saw how motivated Zhou Dazhu and the team members behind him were.

"No wonder sir would send you to guide us. We admire your drive."

Zhou Dazhu laughed: "Your Highnesses, to be honest with you, we are just craftsmen.

With the gift of my husband, I entered the Daming Engineering College to study, and now I was directly promoted to an official of the Ministry of Industry as soon as I came out. This is something our ancestors never dared to think about in their lifetimes.

With such grace, and being personally summoned by His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is the opportunity that we have only when the smoke comes out from the tombs of our eight generations of ancestors. You said that we have such an opportunity, if we don’t repay the court well, don’t repay sir well, we will Is he still a human being? "

These words were very candid and made King Jin and King Gu believe that Zhou Dazhu would do his best to guide their work.

There is nothing fake about it, this is a person who does real things.

Because just like what he said, without Chen Han's support, they would not have the glory they have today in this life, so they can't wait to do something great.

King Jin and King Gu looked at each other with admiration for Zhou Dazhu in their eyes.

"Okay, sir, you are indeed an unparalleled scholar in the country. He has trained all the best among people. There are not many people in this world who are so grateful like you.

The fact that you can find so many things at once is just your ability.

We will immediately cooperate with you to mobilize migrant workers and Shanxi businessmen to build the cement factory first, then build roads first, and then build other factories.

Only in this way can we complete this major project of our northwest barrier. "

After speaking, King Jin directly ordered the butler, "These twenty adults are the treasures of our Western Branch of the Daming Chamber of Commerce. You must entertain them according to the highest standards and never let them be dissatisfied in the slightest.

If I hear any of you complaining when you receive them, it will be disrespectful to me. Don't blame me for turning against you when the time comes. Do you understand? "

The housekeeper nodded immediately, "Your Highness, please rest assured. For the great cause of our northwest barrier, even if I try my best, I will not let these twenty adults suffer the slightest injustice."
