Zhu Yuanzhang was called to dinner by Empress Ma at noon. There was a letter from the village about the Ming Navy.
He hurriedly arrived home, took the envelope, pulled out a piece of paper, read, read, read, and gritted his teeth after reading, "Why use such a big piece of paper for just such a sentence?"
The meaning is easy to understand. In the future, the navy will go out to find food by himself, without the court paying for it.
He just needs to find reliable people to lead the navy. Like Zhu Wentian, the first thing he thought of was Fu Youde.
Fu Youde is very good at fighting. He has participated in wars again and again, with great achievements and high official titles. He is not at home now, so he went to fight Ming Yuzhen's son.
"I'm afraid I need to find someone who can do it, so we can form an army this year."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he would first find someone who knew how to fight in water, mainly who knew how to build ships and seas. For ships, build smaller sea-going ships first, which are faster to build.
He knows the difference between sea boats and river boats. One has a protruding bottom and the other has a flat bottom. River boats can easily capsize in the sea.
Since we rely on trade to support our troops, we should quickly send out a group of soldiers to exchange for things, slowly exchange them, and the extra money will be used to build bigger ships and recruit more sailors.
"Biao'er is getting married, let's tell him and see what his plans are."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about the naval affairs for a while, and then thought about the marriage of his elder son. , during the winter wheat harvest month.
"I wrote a letter when the team returned this afternoon. Since we have arranged for some people to form an army first, it is better to use the ships confiscated in the forbidden sea for first use."
Zhu Biao suggested, There are still ready-made ships, they are just not big enough. There was maritime trade in the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhang Shicheng used to make money from overseas trade to fight wars, but was later caught and died.
Fang Guozhen was even more powerful. He gathered thousands of people to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, robbed the shipping grain, and then surrendered, rebelled, surrendered again, and rebelled again
They had ships outside, so they could always hide there On the island, otherwise there is no way why the Yuan Dynasty court could accept Fang Guozhen's submission after he rebelled again and again.
While Fang Guozhen is still alive, Zhu Yuanzhang will never let him command the navy. His current official position is Zuocheng of Guangxi Province, so he stays in Nanjing in name only.
"It's a good idea to write a letter and ask if the buildings in the village can be used to build palaces."
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, first use the old ships, build new ones, and slowly build bigger ones. , the wood used to build Zhongdu was used first.
Didn’t Xiaqiu Village come up with new things to build houses and save wood? Let’s see if they can be used in the construction of Zhongdu.
By the way, let me test the expert to see if he is opposed to the establishment of Zhongdu or has other thoughts. What is wrong with Zhongdu?
Zhu Wentian didn’t know that someone wanted to test him. Busy rolling steel wire, rolling it into sheets, rolling steel with tools like pressing sugar cane juice.
First heat the steel wire and then roll it, otherwise you will waste that small equipment.
To make a music box, he needs a clockwork spring, and a gear inside it to rotate, and when it hits the pronunciation piece, it will make a sound.
ThisIf things are complicated, you can choose songs, and there are several songs in each.
Zhu Wentian doesn’t have that much time to do it, it’s too cumbersome, just one song is enough, not a cylinder, a box with a little figure.
The villains are two people in ancient costumes. They are presented to the prince and the princess, both of whom are poor people.
Zhu Wentian has a small converter for steelmaking, which can hold more than a hundred kilograms of material at a time. The material comes from the iron he smelt.
In conjunction with the small converter, there is a small iron smelting furnace with a height of 2.6 meters. It is very compact. It is difficult to operate and useless when it is built.
It is so small that the village can produce whatever it needs, and the villagers have to dig the ore.
There used to be no blacksmith in the village, but now there are four people who specialize in making farm tools and knives.
When you encounter a place where you don’t know how to do it, go to the blacksmith shop in the county to learn. If you pay enough, people will be willing to teach, and you will directly learn the practical skills when teaching.
If you don’t learn the technology of forging steel, which is passed down from one person to another, from one person to another, Zhu Wentian can solve the steel problem.
“Actually, if you can make this into a watch, the technical requirements are high. It is relatively easier to make a desk clock than a watch. That way we don’t have to look at the sun and stars to compare the time, and we also save hourglasses and water leaks. ”
Zhu Wentian and his friends handled the materials as if they were playing a game, explaining the purpose of the spring and just adding an escapement. This kind of design has been around for a long time, and the ancients were very powerful.
It’s just not used to make a universally usable clock, otherwise daily life would be more convenient.
"Brother Hanhan, what else can I use it for?" The little girl has become carefree now. The family even discussed marrying her the year before last.
Everyone gets married early. Zhu Yuanzhang’s daughters, who are thirteen or fourteen years old, are all getting married. Zhu Biao and the Crown Princess, who are getting married, were both born in 15 years. This year, 1371, sixteen .
Zhu Wentian came, and he did not agree with the people in the village continuing to get married early, whether it was a man or a woman.
You are a child yourself, and if you start having children soon, you will be involved in it for the rest of your life. The key is to give birth to a child, which is dangerous.
When the village has money, it is not so anxious about it and can always find something satisfactory.
People who are not married are now working hard to learn to read, write, and do arithmetic. Not only Zhu Wentian's friends, but also the villagers take time to learn.
Singles study harder and miss the scholarly family outside.
For example, when recruiting a son-in-law, see which family has a scholar but is poor. If the son-in-law is of good quality and good at studying, he will be willing to pay more.
After being recruited to the village, let the other party take the imperial examination. If he passes the examination, he will be immediately changed to a live-in son-in-law and become a normal son-in-law.
If you don’t pass the exam, you can help in the village, learn slowly, and you can continue to take the exam. The exam comes every three years. If you have children, you should raise them.
If you want to marry a daughter-in-law, choose someone from a family who is an official, and also observe the quality. If you get married, you will be given generous gifts. The money for being an official is not much, unless you are corrupt, don't look for that..
Both the village chief and the village elder feel that the people in their village are worthy of anyone. With Hanhan here, no matter how powerful outsiders are, they can compare to Hanhan
Hanhan gives The accounting method that came out was learned by the imperial court. The big profitable business in the village was sent to the palace. The prince wrote a letter asking how to build the Ming Dynasty Navy.
Under such circumstances, the little girl was not in a hurry to get married. She had an extra frog in her hand, which was made of paper and jumped with every click.
"After making the music box, I will make a winding frog for you. Twist it a few times and jump around on your own."
Zhu Wentian knows how to use a clockwork, an iron frog, this kind of frog. There is no need for the blacksmith to slowly hammer it, make a mold, put the iron piece on it, and use a hammer to make half a frog. Install the spring and other small parts, put the two pieces together, and rivet it with rivets.
Early the next morning, just before dinner time, a boat coming back from Nanjing arrived at the village, bringing with it two boatloads of good iron ore.
The villagers moved over, and Zhu Taiyi washed his hands and face. "The palace knew that after the village smelted its own iron, it was afraid that good ore would be hard to find, so it sent some. In addition, people from Zhou She came to see if there were any. Is there anything I can do to help?"
Zhou Zong came with ten of his men, who had just finished moving the iron ore. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
