Lao Zhu's bedroom has floor heating and other heating measures, making it as warm as spring inside.
As soon as I sat here, all the fatigue disappeared immediately.
As if wrapped in a warm ocean, I don't know how comfortable and cozy it is.
Had a great meal.
Zhu Xuan told Lao Zhu about his departure this time.
When he heard about the reservoir dam, Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise: "Is this thing made by Guaisun really that powerful?"
"Of course!"
Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "The reservoir can regulate droughts and floods. During droughts, the gates are opened to release water for people to irrigate. During floods, it can intercept the water flow and regulate the flow of the river as much as possible. The reservoir is really good, but it takes a long time to build. , the investment is relatively high.”
What Zhu Yuanzhang liked most was these things for the people.
Especially for farmers, it can bring direct benefits to farmers and people.
"If possible, Guaisun will be built all over the country."
Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.
Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "Actually, my grandson thinks so too, but the current conditions are still lacking. When the project in Guangzhou is completed, my grandson will let the construction teams go north. But the reservoir first appeared in the Ming Dynasty. Everyone will definitely accept it.”
Even if the court accepts it and sees the benefits, the people below may not be able to accept it.
If they want to object, they are worried about the destruction of their farmland and do not want to lose their homes, there is actually nothing they can do.
"We all know!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Even if we are not accepted, we should do something to be worthy of the people of the world. We cannot sit in this position in vain."
Zhu Xuan praised: "Grandpa Huang is the greatest!"
Lao Zhu laughed, he was really dedicated to the people.
As an emperor who came from the poor, Lao Zhu knew the sufferings of the people best and wanted to serve the people the most.
"Grandpa Huang, do you still remember the electricity and generators from our factory outside the city?"
Zhu Xuan said again.
Zhu Yuanzhang certainly remembered that those things called electricity amazed him and said, "What else do you want to do, my dear grandson?"
Zhu Xuan said: "My grandson's electricity can finally be used normally by civilians. The insulation technology of wires has made great progress, and electricity storage technology has also made breakthroughs. Electricity can be sent to the palace, but it will still take time for it to be fully used by civilians."
"Grandpa Huang, do you want to experience the feeling of using electricity?"
He looked at Lao Zhu expectantly.
Using electricity across the board, it sounds pretty good.
When Zhu Yuanzhang went to the factory for the first time, he was shocked by the things inside.
However, things like light bulbs can provide lighting without fire, which really amazed him, and he admired his good grandson's skills.
"It won't waste people and money, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
He still looked at the electricity critically from the perspective of frugality.
"of course not."
Zhu Xuan nodded affirmatively and said: "If our Ming Dynasty wants to develop and make people's lives better in the future, we still need this electricity. Ming Dynasty cannot rest on its laurels. As new technologies become available, they must be used."
Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking is indeed very limited, and he cannot understand how useful science will be in the future.
However, he believed that Zhu Xuan's words were correct.
Daming’s technology leads the world.
Those overseas people who want to get it have not yet had this opportunity. Jinyiwei often catches people who want to sneak into the Science Pavilion to learn technology secretly, but these people are unable to succeed.
"Then do as my dear grandson says."
Zhu Yuanzhang said directly: "Let us also experience what it feels like to use electricity."
With Grandpa Huang's consent, Zhu Xuan's electricity began to be truly used outside the factory.
It will be easier to use it commercially in the future.
After a big meal, it was already evening.
Zhu Yuanzhang still had some memorials that he had not finished reading, so he left Zhu Xuan to read them together. The two of them, grandfather and grandson, handled government affairs together.
But when reading the memorial, Zhu Xuan found a memorial from Jin Yiwei.
There was something written on it about Lan Yu, but he didn't have time to read what was written.
"My dear grandson, let us handle Jin Yiwei's memorial."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There are some things that you can't see."
Zhu Xuan had no choice but to send the memorial, and at the same time he was thinking, wouldn't Grandpa Huang want to attack Lan Yu?
In fact, the group of people in Huaixi don't pose much of a threat now.
Those old things were aged and died one after another by Grandpa Huang.
Even if Lan Yu wants to rebel, not many people dare to respond, and they are not afraid that Lan Yu can do whatever he wants.
However, Zhu Xuan did not interfere. Grandpa Huang had his own arrangements regarding Lan Yu, but he still had the idea of regaining the Huaixi military generals. Although those veteran generals were too old to move, their descendants and nephews were still there. .
Those sons and nephews occupy a certain position in the Ming Dynasty's noble group, and they can be used if they are trained.
Still can't underestimate them.
In the future, if Zhu Xuan wants to do something, reform the Ming Dynasty, or regain the land, those nobles will have control of most of the fertile land in the Ming Dynasty, and they must handle the relationship well.
But these are things for later, and it is too far away to achieve this.
"Look at these memorials."
Zhu Yuanzhang brought a few memorials and said: "Here are some chief secretaries who want to get the fertilizers from Guaisun, or if there is a drought, you can handle it."
Now potatoes and other seeds have long been spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Many people have gradually changed their farming methods on their fields.
In addition to growing grains, potatoes also began to occupy an important part.
Grains can be used as the staple food, and potatoes can also be used. For many pasta areas, potatoes and sweet potatoes can also be ground into powder, and the noodles made have a different flavor.
Chemical fertilizers can increase land fertility and increase food production.
In some relatively poor counties, the chief secretaries above them had experienced the benefits of chemical fertilizers and petitioned the court to request for them.
Zhu Xuan read the relevant memorial and said: "The people who requested fertilizers were all from relatively remote counties in the Ming Dynasty. Our trains have not yet been built, so it is not easy to transport a large amount of fertilizers there. The cost of transportation will lead to the loss of fertilizers." Price increase.”
This is why there are relatively few chemical fertilizers in those areas.
What officials in those areas hoped most was to have free sex and have the court give them fertilizers.
Of course there is no problem in delivering it, but delivering it across the country costs a lot, not only the cost of manufacturing fertilizers, but also the freight on the road, which is not a small sum.
"Good Sun's train is a huge project and will take a long time to build!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also considered the cost. He never approved the memorial and waited for his grandson to come back to see if he had any ideas.
Today's railways are still in the process of building cross-river bridges.
It is still extremely difficult to build this bridge and it will take a long time.
Without train transportation, it would be difficult to transport many materials in Ming Dynasty.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson has two ideas."
After reading the memorial, Zhu Xuan said: "The first is, let's not worry about the cost first and deliver a batch of fertilizers to the Chief Secretary who asked for fertilizers. The second is, set up our fertilizer factories in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. In the future, What do you think of reducing the transportation cost of fertilizers?"
