The new army camp was almost visited in a short time.
Zhu Xuan asked Geng Xuan to accompany him, and had lunch with the army soldiers in the canteen before going back.
The soldiers were so excited when they heard that His Royal Highness the Young Emperor came to eat with them in the dining hall and ate the same food as themselves. Their morale was high.
There is a feeling that I can conquer the whole world for Zhu Xuan.
After being taught to love the Ming Dynasty for so long, the soldiers respected Zhu Xuan very much.
Left the camp.
Geng Xuan saw him off.
"The food in the canteen is good, with a good mix of meat and vegetables, and it tastes delicious. Have you studied the dishes in the canteen?" Zhu Xuan asked.
Geng Xuan said: "We went to the hospital to find Director Liu and asked him to make suggestions on how to prepare the food in the canteen. Director Liu said that by eating this way, the soldiers' physical fitness can be higher."
I see.
Zhu Xuan thought that he had not been to the hospital for a long time. Liu Chun had now become the chief medical expert in Ming Dynasty and the first person in the medical field in Ming Dynasty. Yingtian People's Hospital was the best hospital in Ming Dynasty.
But now in Ming Dynasty, there is only one hospital like this.
Of course it's the best.
"With Liu Chun here, there will be no problem."
Zhu Xuan is still very relieved about Liu Chun.
Liu Chun helped Grandpa Huang maintain his health and took medicated diet. At such an old age, Grandpa Huang was still in good health and could drink several jars of wine. He did not have the posture of an ordinary old man, but he was very energetic.
"Although the food is not the most delicious, it is the most reasonable."
Geng Xuan continued: "But our military expenditure is also the largest. In the entire Ming Dynasty, only His Highness can afford to support such an army."
The investment in meat alone is already a huge sum of money.
Not to mention the salary for soldiers, if they were unfortunately killed in battle, they would have to pay pensions every year, etc. Lao Zhu couldn't do this.
"Elite soldiers should be raised like this. As long as the money is used where needed, there is no need to save it for me. If it is not enough, you can always ask me for it." Zhu Xuan said solemnly.
What he wants to cultivate is professional soldiers.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness!" Geng Xuan said.
If Zhu Xuan had not trusted him, he would not have handed over this important task to Geng Xuan.
As long as the new army develops, it will be much easier to expand in the future. Gods will kill gods if they block them, and Buddhas will kill Buddhas if they block them.
"Okay, brother-in-law, there's no need to send it away anymore, let's go back!"
Zhu Xuan added: "I still have to go to the factory for a walk."
"yes!"
Geng Xuan responded.
Zhu Xuan left the New Army camp and sat on the carriage.
Not long after, Hou Xian's voice came from outside: "Your Highness, the factory has arrived."
Zhu Xuan came to the factory mainly to take a look at the wires, when they could be connected to the palace to use electricity for Grandpa Huang, and by the way to see how the power storage equipment was being prepared.
Went to the factory and walked around.
The wires are ready.
Transformers and other tools are also installed in the power station.
Some workers began to connect the wires. They were indeed following Zhu Xuan's instructions and were preparing to connect them into the imperial city.
The cables currently connected are still underground, buried in the earth, and then poured with cement to prevent damage. After all, electricity has not yet been commercially used in large quantities, and it is impossible to make too many telephone poles and high-voltage power frames.
Only a small part of the land is buried underground and extends into the city, so that no space is wasted.
"You guys continue!"
Zhu Xuan observed it for a while, but found that it was beyond his ability and he couldn't give much advice.
The advice he can give is probably about the appearance of some electrical appliances, their functions, and their appearance design, etc. Beyond this scope, the experts in the Science Pavilion are much more professional than him.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, it's getting better and better now."
Hou Xian did not miss this great opportunity to flatter him and happily praised him.
Zhu Xuan said: "How can you learn to be like Eunuch Yun, you know how to flatter me."
Hou Xian laughed and said: "Eunuch Yun is my foster father. Of course I have learned a lot from my foster father."
Only then did Zhu Xuan remember that Hou Xian was really Yun Qi's adoptive father, but he didn't take it to heart and left the factory to go to the construction site of the cross-river bridge.
I saw that it was very busy here.
Mechanized production gradually appeared in Ming Dynasty.
Various large machines roared and operated on the shore to help build the bridge across the river.
Bridge piers appear one after another in the Yangtze River and extend to the north bank.
Those large cranes lifted countless building materials to the bridge piers, and there were countless large and small ships coming and going, which was very lively.
The train station on the shore is also under construction, and several rail tracks and platforms are beginning to appear next to the train station.
As soon as the cross-river bridge is completed, someone will immediately send the train over and connect the tracks.
It won’t be long before trains are launched in Daming.
"It's all good!"
When Zhu Xuan was inspecting, he was accompanied by several civil engineering experts.
They took out the drawings and explained various techniques to Zhu Xuan and how to build the bridge.
Zhu Xuan could still understand these. After a simple judgment and combined with mathematical model analysis, he felt that their design and technology were fine, so he put them aside for the time being.
Currently it is up to them to play freely.
Yan Guan said with admiration: "When the cross-river bridge is completed, it will be another symbol of great significance for the Ming Dynasty. Your Highness is really amazing!"
His admiration comes from the bottom of his heart.
I have never seen a prince or grandson as powerful as Zhu Xuan.
Zhu Xuan said: "This is the Ming Dynasty, the arrival of another era."
"And there are those electrics!"
Hou Xian agreed and said: "Although I don't know very well what the future of electricity will be like, I feel that the emergence of electricity can definitely change an era."
I don’t know if he is deliberately flattering or if he has such a forward-looking vision.
After hearing this, Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "You are all right. I call this the Industrial Revolution."
Industrial Revolution?
After hearing this, Hou Xian, Yan Guan, and Lei Gang nodded slightly in understanding.
Anyway, as His Highness said, it is very powerful.
"Let's go back to the palace."
Zhu Xuan said.
The carriage went quickly and entered the city gate.
After passing the palace gate and reaching certain palace passages, he could no longer ride the carriage and had to get down and walk. When he was about to go back to rest, he saw Fang Xiaoru coming.
"Your Highness, Duke Yansheng is looking for you everywhere."
Fang Xiaoru said helplessly: "He knows that Your Highness did not accompany the feudal princes today, but went to the New Army camp to get close to the military, and then to the factory to get close to the magic skills, so he wants to take His Highness back to give lectures."
Zhu Xuan: "..."
Is this Duke Yan Sheng still finished?
I have already asked for leave, and I still have to study by myself.
Zhu Xuan had no choice but to go to Dabentang to find Kong Gongjian.
"Your Highness!"
When Kong Gongjian saw Zhu Xuan coming back, he deliberately kept a straight face and said solemnly: "It's not okay for Your Highness to be like this! Your Highness is the future of the Ming Dynasty. You can't use this kind of trick to deceive ministers, ignore your studies, and walk around outside. What will happen in the future?" To govern the country?”
"I am not opposed to fancy skills and military affairs, but Your Highness really needs to be careful not to get too close, which is not conducive to running the country!"
Now, no matter what he says, he has to mention the word "governing the country".
As soon as these two words come out, it can raise the height of learning, show his loyalty, and allow historians to record his contribution to the Ming Dynasty.
