Tall buildings rise from the ground!
In front of Zhang Cong, Xi Shu, Jin Yiwei, and soldiers from the Beijing camp, a steel factory was built like this, directly outside the suburbs of Beijing.
The majestic factory like a steel monster really surprised Zhang Cong. He stared at the factory in front of him in stunned silence. He was speechless for a moment, and the Jin Yiwei and Beijing soldiers around him were also stunned. It was breathtaking, like seeing a miracle!
No.
It’s not like seeing a miracle, but actually seeing a miracle!
Can ordinary people build a building with such a majestic area by waving their sleeves so lightly?
Although they didn't know what this building was for, there was still excitement and curiosity in their eyes, and they even started whispering.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
Zhang Cong just recovered from the surprise and said tremblingly: "I am stupid, I have never seen such a building before. This is the residence of some god..."
Zhang Cong knew that Zhu Houcong was destined to lead the Ming Dynasty's army and suddenly disappear.
He also saw the turmoil surrounding Zhu Houcong when he was canonizing the spirits of the fallen soldiers as gods of Hebo Mountain.
However, he never imagined that tall buildings could really rise from the ground. In just the blink of an eye, under the brilliant light, it was completed!
"It is not the abode of gods, but a place where iron is smelted."
Zhu Houcong shook his head, then smiled and said: "Bring all the iron smelting craftsmen in the capital, and at the same time, order Zunhua to mobilize a thousand craftsmen to smelt iron with new technologies!"
The iron smelting technology of the Ming Dynasty was considered to be the most advanced in the world. The most advanced iron smelting plant in the entire Ming Dynasty was located in Zunhua, Tangshan today.
The main reason why the iron smelting plant is located in Zunhua, Tangshan is because it is close to raw materials. The iron ore mines in Tangshan and Handan account for most of the iron ore mines in Hebei.
And Zhu Houcong located the iron smelting plant in the suburbs of Beijing this time. Naturally, in order to keep the iron smelting plant under his nose, even more transportation is worth it.
After all, the technological development of the iron smelting plant obtained through the mission reward will definitely lag all the steel plants at the same time. What if the internal and external channels are opened and the new iron is transported away?
In Beijing, there are many imperial guards. Although this situation may happen, the possibility of Zhu Houcong will be greatly reduced.
"yes!"
After Zhang Cong heard Zhu Houcong's words, he was overjoyed and immediately resigned and went to convene.
Steel is the core of the lifeblood of a country. Whether it is military or people's livelihood, iron plays a huge role.
The building transformed by His Majesty turned out to be an ironworks. How wonderful, how wonderful!
Suddenly, everyone was beaming with joy.
Zhu Houcong smiled slightly, then went in with his hands behind his hands and started to visit the ironworks.
Although it was his own mission reward, Zhu Houcong really didn't know what was going on inside.
As soon as he entered, a group message reminder appeared in front of Zhu Houcong.
[This is a mission reward place. Due to time constraints, group leader Zhu Houcong, you can select five hundred craftsmen, and the factory operating methods will be automatically implanted in your memory so that they can operate without hindrance. 】
Seeing the group message reminder in front of him, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but be stunned.
"Lu Bing!"
Zhu Houcong immediately shouted: "Check the details of the craftsmen. We are looking for 500 craftsmen with clean backgrounds across the country. They must have families. Then they will be sent here quickly and their families, wives and daughters will be placed in the capital." Within, the reward will be distributed."
After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Lu Bing did not hesitate at all and immediately took the order to leave.
As the ministers around him all left, Zhu Houcong took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the ironworks.
With the fine iron, once Chongzhen's mission is completed, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration will be in its hands.
However, for safety reasons, Zhu Houcong did not want to place the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration in Jiangnan: What a joke, Jiangnan is still here to oppose my policy!
He thought for a moment and decided to locate the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration in Tianjin.
In the same way, Tianjin is close to the sea and close to Zhu Houcong.
At that time, it may be necessary to send heavyweight ministers to Tianjin and arrange a governor in Tianjin.
Zhu Houcong thought in his heart.
But at this moment, Zhu Houcong suddenly received a message in front of him, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
[You have a new group message, do you want to check it? 】
Seeing this scene, Zhu Houcong chose to check without even thinking about it.
[Received a follow-up request for help from group member 'Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian'. Do you accept this assistance? 】
[This assistance belongs to the same category as the previous assistance, so no group points will be awarded. 】
[You have a message from group member 'Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian'. 】
Seeing this scene, Zhu Houcong nodded, and then chose to check.
"Emperor Sejong, could you please come here? I still have a lot of questions about the implementation of the policy. I dare not make it rashly. I still need the help of my ancestors..."
No, what about your hosting?
Zhu Houcong was a little numb. Aren't there three other group members: Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Qiyu? If you don't look for them, then look for me.
Zhu Houcong wanted to politely refuse, but soon he saw the message below.
"It doesn't matter if Grandpa Gao comes without troops. The King of Zhongshan is still here, and Grandpa Taizu sent the first King of Qin here. I don't have high prestige and can't suppress him, so I can only ask Grandpa Gao for help. I am willing to pay two hundred silver dollars." Ten thousand taels, 300,000 shi of grain, 25 red cannons of Xiaoflangji, 500 Kunlun slaves and white slaves, to thank His Majesty Emperor Shizong, and I hope Grandpa Gao can help me."
Seeing this, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but nodded.
Why is this grandson's grandson so polite? Give me so much money.
However, it can be seen from the side that Zhu Youjian is really rich now. Who knows where he has confiscated so much money from in the past few days? After paying military pay and providing disaster relief, he can still spend two million taels. Come treat yourself.
However, the silver is not very important. What is important is the red cannon and the five hundred slaves. It seems that they are a mixed version of the Kunlun slaves and the white slaves.
I’ve agreed in advance that I won’t want it if I haven’t done it before!
Just in time, let's go to the Chongzhen Dynasty again and solve the tasks of the Chongzhen Dynasty so that the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration can get it, so that they can open up colonies on the sea by themselves without buying slaves at all.
At this thought, Zhu Houcong nodded with satisfaction, and after some calculation, he planned to ask Fubo Camp to make one or two corrections, and just let Yu Dayou and the Liwei and Shenwei Battalions of the Beijing Camp go out with him.
But soon, Zhu Houcong felt that he had forgotten something before.
"By the way, Jian Nu! Why did I forget this!"
Zhu Houcong blamed himself very much, and planned to call Lu Bing, but found that Lu Bing had gone to do something for him, so he looked at Luo An, who had been a little depressed these days, and said with a smile: "Luo Qing, didn't you just give birth to an unworthy descendant? ? No problem, this dynasty is different from the Chongzhen dynasty. As long as you have a few more children, isn't it enough?"
"Okay, now go do some work for me. Find someone to go to the cabinet and ask them to write a memorial to the Liaodong governor's office and order them to annihilate the Haixi Jurchen tribe! Tell them that as long as the Jurchen tribe is annihilated, I will not hesitate to reward them. , it’s not a problem to be granted the title of marquis or prime minister. If you dare to support the bandits, come back to me and kowtow in front of the heroic inscription to apologize!"
