People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 310 The Ming Dynasty’s first naval base was completed in Annan! The first step of colonization has been taken!

When Lan Yu saw the ministers of Annan Kingdom, there was no resistance at all at this time, and everyone seemed to acquiesce.

The fact that they could establish a Ming Navy base in their country finally put a huge stone in my heart.

To be honest, when he came to Annan Country to negotiate this matter, he also hoped that it could be implemented as soon as possible.

Now that Hu Jiyou has agreed, the others have nothing to say.

After some negotiation, everyone was happy.

It seemed like everything was planned just as they hoped.

Then Hu Jiyou and General Lan Yu signed a cooperation agreement together.

These terms and treaties are stamped with the seals of both countries, the official seal of Chen Han as the chief admiral of the Ming Navy and the seal of Lan Yu, the governor of the Ming Navy.

Annan Kingdom directly covered their jade seal.

After this, it’s a done deal.

After Lan Yu completed these things, he also made some verbal promises for future cooperation.

Although he may not be able to meet such requirements.

But for today's Annan Kingdom, it is already quite good.

Therefore, the king of Annan and these ministers did not say much at this time.

Then it's easy.

The navy of the Ming Dynasty immediately made the credentials in triplicate, got two copies, kept one for themselves, and hurried to the Ming Dynasty with the other.

It was to be delivered to Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Soon, these matters were settled.

Chen Han also responded very happily.

Then it was very logical that twenty students from Daming Engineering College set sail from the capital to Annan Kingdom with these technologies.

After another month of turmoil, when these engineers arrived in Annan, the foundation laying work of the Ming Naval Base had been completed.

The first base of the Ming Navy was planned in Jing'an Prefecture.

This place is very close to the Chief Secretary of Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty.

It is also the closest place to the south where a port will be opened by the Chief Secretary of Guangxi in the future. After choosing this place, large-scale construction was immediately carried out.

The Daming Naval Base occupies a total of more than 1,300 acres of land, and this is only temporary.

It is said that Hu Jishen is also thinking of giving higher land so that the Ming Dynasty Naval Base can be built very beautiful and brilliant, showing their strength and giving a good explanation to the Ming Dynasty.

Then during the construction of the Ming Naval Base, Hu Jishen personally came to the construction site of the Ming Naval Base and personally urged his craftsmen to help the construction of the Ming Naval Base with the best standards.

Although they don't have red bricks or cement here, the basic work can still be done quickly.

When Lan Yu sent them to Nanyang to plan to build a Ming naval base, Lan Yu gave them some schematic diagrams for building cement plants and steel plants.

So although Lan Yu and the others don't know how to produce these things, it is still very convenient to build factories.

Hu Jiyou also fully supported this time.

Not only did they allocate 4,000 craftsmen to help the construction of the Ming Naval Base, they also gave people money to complete the requirements for building various factories next to the naval base.

So when twenty students from the School of Engineering arrived at the naval base with their various planning drawings.

The factory building here has been roughly completed.

The next step is how to get these things out of the equipment.

Just start from scratch.

So these engineers have studied at Daming Engineering College for two years, and now they are put to use. The engineers first took the craftsmen from Annan to the place where the clay was produced, and first selected the clay that could be used to make red bricks.

Then the brick kiln was built.

These things can be made out of thin air, no special materials are needed, only special skills are required.

These engineers strictly kept secrets and did not let Annanguo craftsmen see how they proportioned the ingredients of red bricks and built the brick kiln.

After the brick kiln was completed, firing of red bricks began immediately.

After the furnaces of red bricks are burned, they are smashed, then ground, and then cement is made.

Red bricks and cement just appeared out of thin air.

Although the craftsmen of Annan Kingdom also received orders from their king Hu Jisao, they said they wanted to learn some skills secretly.

But if there are no specialized people to teach them how to distinguish these technologies, they will not be able to understand them at all.

Especially these craftsmen don't understand why they want to smash such hard red bricks.

They even don't understand why adding a little white powder can make these powders stick together with water.

It's even better than the glutinous rice paste they use to bind it together.

They don't understand these things.

Moreover, the construction of the blast furnace is even more confusing to craftsmen like them.

Why must the chimney be made so high?

They only know how to work, and they only know how to be commanded by Ming Dynasty engineers.

Daming's engineers seemed to have nothing to hide from them, but all the key steps were completed secretly.

When four thousand craftsmen completed the construction of the blast furnace amid intense work, they saw a scene that shocked them.

It turns out that after the blast furnace was built, the red brick firing process became faster.

The next step is to build a grinding mill on the edge of the Red River.

They discovered it when machines were placed on the bank of the Red River, using water to stir and crush the red bricks.

Why people can complete industry so quickly is because they are smart.

People know how to use hydraulic screens, mills, blast furnaces, and cement mixers.

After four thousand craftsmen worked day and night, the factory buildings were built one after another in another month and a half, and the entire frame was filled with red bricks and cement.

These craftsmen in Annan Kingdom are almost visible to the naked eye, watching these things being slowly completed, but they know nothing about it.

Like coolies, they have no way of getting to the core.

They felt incredible watching all this.

Even if Lan Yu comes from the capital.

Even though he saw so many red brick and cement houses popping up like spring water after the rain in the capital.

But when he saw the step-by-step construction process from scratch to one, he was stunned and stunned.

For the first time, he felt the power of knowledge.

In the past, he looked down upon those intellectuals and felt that those babbling people were of no use at all.

But when they saw the Ming Dynasty engineers commanding more than 4,000 Annan craftsmen at the naval base to complete the construction of these factories, their perceptions changed instantly...
