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

Chapter 380 Chamber of Commerce and Factory

Finished the inspection of water conservancy.

Zhu Xuan and the others returned to the trading port and asked Xu Qi to go back to the government office first. He wanted to take a look at the trading port.

"Your Highness!"

Wu Yongfeng and Cen Jing came out to greet them at the same time. Everyone walked into the trading port together. They could still see the excitement and prosperity in the trading port, the merchants from various countries coming and going, and the port outside was full of merchant ships.

The water surface of the Pearl River is almost occupied by merchant ships.

"go in!"

After looking around, Zhu Xuan came to the innermost building of the trading port.

This is the office building he planned. Cen Jing and Wu Yongfeng currently work in this building. After entering, they first delivered various account books.

Zhu Xuan came mainly to check the accounts and understand the situation.

There are a lot of ledgers, but it is not difficult to check them. What we need to look at is not the results of various data, but whether the data is falsified and whether it is logical.

With Zhu Xuan's mathematical skills, it is easy to tell whether there is any fraud.

After confirming that there was no problem, Zhu Xuan put down the account book and looked at the number of people who had joined the Panyu Chamber of Commerce. It had risen to more than fifty people. The money was recovered, and all that was needed was Zhu Xuan's signature to confirm their membership.

Zhu Xuan asked them to send over the membership application and sign their names.

"Tell us what's going on."

Zhu Xuan said.

The two of them began to report work.

There is nothing wrong with the trade port either, they are well done and the returns are detailed.

After listening to the report, Zhu Xuan asked again: "Do those foreign businessmen come frequently?"

Wu Yongfeng said: "It's very high. Most of them are foreign businessmen from Nanyang and the West. However, European businessmen from the west have not been here for the time being. They travel a long distance. The goods and catering features from Europe now are all from Zhengzhou before." And brought back.”

I don’t know how the Suez Canal is being dug now.

If the excavation is successful, Adelaide and the others will definitely come. There is no one there yet, probably because it is inconvenient to come.

"Well done."

Zhu Xuan said a few encouraging words and then said: "Continue to maintain the status quo, and the trading port will basically have no problems."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Wu Yongfeng and Cen Jing said at the same time.

Without Zhu Xuan's leadership, they would not be able to do so much and would not have such opportunities.

Especially Wu Yongfeng, without Zhu Xuan, he would have gone bankrupt long ago.

In the Guangzhou industry, everything is going well.

Zhu Xuan didn't have much to deal with when he came back. He briefly chatted with them and left the trading port. When he returned to the mansion, Guo Ze happened to be here, so he called him over to learn about the situation in the factory.

The factory is also operating normally.

The work of steelmaking has not stopped.

Cloth in textile mills is also constantly being produced in preparation for the next overseas trade.

Small countries such as Burma and Siam are now very cooperative. They sent coal mines, iron ore, etc. to Mu Bang without causing any special troubles.

"We have completed two more large ships and are temporarily docked at the Annan factory. We have another two large ships under construction and are expected to be completed in the second half of the year."

"We are also improving weapons such as rifles."

"The range and power are better than before, and the recoil is smaller, as is the artillery."

"We have also made new progress on the train issue that is of greatest concern to His Majesty."

Guo Ze reported the situation. Hearing that the train was making progress, Zhu Xuan immediately asked: "How is the progress?"

Guo Ze said: "The Prince Consort found a flat place in Annan and built a railway of almost five miles. The train he made can walk on it normally and can control the speed. According to the description of the technical staff, it basically has the manufacturing capabilities Railway conditions, but there is another difficulty.”

The railway can basically be manufactured. This is the best news Zhu Xuan got when he returned to Panyu.

So much money invested in research and development has not been wasted.

Zhu Xuan asked: "Where is the difficulty?"

"The problem is the lack of data."

Guo Zeru Shihui reported: "Building railways on flat plains is not a big problem, and we have enough money to build them. However, railways cannot always encounter flat roads, but also encounter mountain roads, rivers, etc. How to build in mountainous areas There is no data on railways, how to build strong bridges across rivers, etc., and it requires on-site inspections and calculations."

Not only is there no data, there is absolutely no precedent.

What can be done now is entirely up to them to figure out. In fact, there are many difficulties, not just data.

Zhu Xuan said: "Transfer the train technicians to Guangzhou and let them build the first real railway in Guangzhou. On-site inspections will also start near Guangzhou. All data must be saved..."

Guo Ze listened and recorded.

He could also see that trains were definitely one of the epoch-making things.

They are making history.

After giving the instructions, Zhu Xuan asked Guo Ze to go down, but he didn't need to leave immediately. He could rest in Panyu for a few days, and then they would go to Annan together.

Zhu Xuan also wanted to send Mu Yuanjun back to Kunming.

After waiting at home for a while, Zhu Xuan finally saw the three girls coming back.

As girls, they naturally like to go shopping. Yan Guan and other Jin Yiwei helped them move a lot of things, and they almost couldn't carry them.

"You bought so many things?"

Zhu Xuan asked with a smile.

Mu Yuanjun said: "Actually, there is no need to buy it. When we walked around the trading port, many merchants knew us and took the initiative to give us things. We didn't want to don't want it, but we couldn't hold back our enthusiasm, so we had to take it."

Xu Miaojin said happily: "Because my brother has a high prestige in the trading port, many people want to curry favor with us, but does this count as accepting bribes?"

"Of course not!"

Zhu Xuan didn't care about the flattery of those merchants and said: "We will go to Kunming in two days. Will Sister Miaojin come with us?"

"Okay!"

Xu Miaojin said excitedly: "I haven't been to sister Yuan Jun's house yet, let's go together."

Cen Hua also wants to play with them.

But when I think about going to those princes' mansions, it doesn't seem appropriate for me to be just an ordinary woman from a chieftain's family.

Mu Yuanjun said happily: "Thank you brother, but it would be better if he sent us to Annan. We will take the boat back to Mubang by ourselves, and then have someone protect us to go north. We can't delay my brother's business. By the way, there are also those cosmetics. My brother gave me some so I can sell them in Kunming and open up new markets."

She was also very considerate and didn’t want to waste Zhu Xuan’s time.

After all, when you want to go somewhere, you spend most of your time on the road.

Zhu Xuan took Mu Yuanjun's hand and said softly: "It won't take long to go to Kunming. How can I not accompany Sister Yuanjun back to see Uncle Mu?"

Mu Yuanjun smiled happily and fell into Zhu Xuan's arms.

After getting along for so many years, we have a deep affection for each other.

They just need a wedding ceremony and need to grow up slowly.

Grandpa Huang was already thinking anxiously about how to arrange for them to get married, but he was not young enough and had to wait a few more years.

Zhu Xuan is not impatient. With them by his side, it doesn't matter whether they get married or not.
