Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 230 Uncle
  "Get up!"

Zhu Xuan is very satisfied with their performance.

After all the workers got up, Guo Ze waved his hand and a large number of soldiers came to separate Zhu Xuan from the workers to prevent someone who did not understand the rules from bumping into His Highness.

When Xu Miaojin and Mu Yuanjun saw this, they couldn't tell how proud they were. These were all done by their future husbands, and they did a great job. In the entire Ming Dynasty, no one could compare with their husbands.

"Is the factory okay?"

Joo Hyun asked about it first.

Guo Ze briefly reported what happened in the factory, and then said: "Everything in the factory is fine, there are no problems. In addition, we tried to expand the scale of overseas trade and made a lot of money, which is enough to pay workers, and we can also increase investment in R&D.”

Zhu Xuan said: "Go to the factory and have a look."

The atmosphere in the entire factory is still very lively.

All the machines are running at this time, and the thermal power station next to it is also continuously supplying power to the factory. There is also a factory dedicated to textiles, which produces a lot of cheap cloth.

These cloths are very popular in overseas markets.

Hemp, used for low-end cloth, is easy to find locally and easy to grow.

There are relatively few better cloths made of cotton. There are not many cotton growers in Central and South Asia. They go to Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, or other places to purchase them, and then concentrate on weaving them in textile factories.

The textile industry is a labor-intensive industry, but with the spinning jenny machine, the number of workers can be reduced a lot, and the output will not be too low.

This is their factory's current only source of income. This alone is enough to cover expenses, and there is also a lot of pure profit.

If the profit is not enough, go mining.

Gold and silver mines are all controlled by Zhu Xuan, and he can dig as much as he wants.

"The silver coins we launched have become the only currency for external transactions. Many overseas countries are recasting their currencies in our style to facilitate transactions with us." Guo Ze added.

It's a nice change, too.

In the future, overseas gold and silver can flow into the Ming Dynasty better.

Zhu Xuan said with satisfaction: "It's done well. Is our second big ship ready to go to sea?"

"it is ready."

When mentioning the second warship, Guo Ze was a little excited and said: "We will wait for His Highness to come back to arrange and name it. There are three other ships that are under construction. The fastest one will be able to go to sea smoothly in two months. Your Highness The wages given are enough, and the Annan people are very motivated. As long as the money is in place, they can do anything they want."

This salary is very low in Ming Dynasty.

However, the consumption in Annan is not high, and the income from factory wages is considered to be at the level of the local middle and upper class.

This is how the employment relationship came into being.

"The second big ship is called Hongwu Ship, and I am going to give it to Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Xuan thought for a while, decided on the name, and then asked: "How is the development of other technologies?"

Guo Ze continued to report: "The research and development of insulating materials has entered the final stage. The electricity storage technology is currently only batteries, and there are no breakthroughs in other directions. We have not yet achieved results on train and rail technology. I don't know what Yingtian will do." How about the side."

These are the focus directions of their current research.

When Zhu Xuan came to Annan for the first time, he took away most of the technical staff in the factory and set up a research institute to provide them with enough money, food, clothing, housing and transportation to satisfy them as much as possible.

They don't need to worry about other things, they can just concentrate on scientific research.

The personnel of the institute are all from the Ming Dynasty, and Annan people are not yet eligible to enter.

They mainly help Zhu Xuan research the three major technologies Guo Ze mentioned just now, as well as the improvement of weapons.

These people are the core of Zhu Xuan and can get the best protection and enjoy more benefits, but there will also be many restrictions to prevent them from leaking their technology.

"There is no progress on Yingtian's side either."

"But I have brought a group of technical staff this time. You will arrange for them to rest later." "Next, I will bring them all back to Guangzhou, and the research institute will also move to Guangzhou."

"In addition, research and development cannot stop."

Zhu Xuan warned.

Ying Tian's side mainly teaches theories or assembles weapons. From now on, the research institute in Guangzhou will be where they come for internship.

However, Zhu Xuan is also planning to set up an assembly factory in Annan to be responsible for assembling a small number of weapons. A large number of weapons are still assembled in Yingtian.

Those who can enter the assembly plant for the time being can only be the group of technicians he brought.

After asking about the situation, Zhu Xuan went to the institute and expressed some ideas such as train tracks.

He didn't understand the technology, but he could provide direction and let them adjust their research methods.

The two young wives followed him, curious about everything in the factory and looking around.

They had almost finished seeing it, when another person came to the factory.

"I've seen the consort!"

Guo Ze paid his respects.

"Consort?"

Zhu Xuan looked at the other party.

Which Ming Dynasty consort is this?

The man who came laughed and said, "You must be Xiao Yunxuan, and I am your uncle Mei Yin. It seems that we haven't met yet."

Commander-in-Chief Prince Consort, Mei Yin, Duke of Rongguo.

Zhu Xuan knew this person and married Princess Ningguo, the second daughter of old Zhu.

When the three pavilion elders received the order, they discussed who should be sent to Annan. As Annan's ambassador, the three pavilion elders did not want to offend the civil servant group. After much deliberation, they recommended Mei Yin together.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally thought about it, and also considered that it would be better to let his own family go to bring convenience to Zhu Xuan's factory, so he agreed.

Zhu Xuan has traveled so long and has never met Mei Yin. Although they live together in Yingtian, there are almost no opportunities to meet him. However, he has met his aunt Princess Ningguo several times and listened to Mei Yin's self-introduction. He quickly said: "It turns out to be my uncle. My nephew has met my uncle."

"You're welcome, little Yunxuan!"

Mei Yin returned the favor.

Zhu Xuan asked curiously: "Why is my uncle in Annan?"

Mei Yin said: "Your Majesty said that Xiao Yunxuan's factory is the future of our Ming Dynasty. Annan needs our old Zhu family to manage it and take care of the factory. So he ordered me to be Annan's comfort envoy and asked me to assimilate to Annan." People, win over the people, merge Annan into Guangxi as soon as possible, and set up Annan Prefecture in the future."

It turned out to be the case.

The process of setting up Annan Mansion is not easy.

Once the setting is successful, Annan will truly become a part of the Ming Dynasty. As long as he can control it, he will not be able to leave in the future.

Zhu Xuan said: "The relationship between Grandpa Huang and uncle has become smaller."

Mei Yin asked curiously: "What did Xiao Yunxuan say?"

Zhu Xuan said: "When my nephew's place is all taken down, I think we can set up one, Zhongnan Chengxuan Chief Secretary."

"Ha ha……"

Mei Yin smiled and said: "This is a good idea. If Xiao Yunxuan can win here, I will definitely report to His Majesty and establish a new Chief Secretary."

Zhu Xuan said confidently: "I can definitely do it."
