In addition to saving lives and healing the wounded, the hospital was originally a place to make money, but now it can no longer make money. Not only can it not make money, but it has to continue to make money.
Just over a thousand wounded soldiers was a big burden. Fortunately, when dividing the cake with Accountant Li before, it only included the silver reward and did not involve the wounded soldiers.
The medical expenses for these more than 8,000 people have to be paid by the Ministry of Household Affairs. This is something that Accountant Li will never deny. If he wants to deny it again, then let him take the blame for the Taicang borer case.
After finally getting out, I couldn't go back so soon. I had to at least go to the Academy of Sciences for a walk. This was the yamen that a certain prince valued most.
Even if the rubbish unit of the Ministry of Household Affairs is demolished, the Academy of Sciences will be treated like a giant panda. After the mine is almost mined, if you want to make a fortune, you will have to rely on the Academy of Sciences.
"Your Majesty Song Yingxing..."
"That's all, that's all. No formalities, no need to be restrained. I'm just here to see what's going on at the Academy of Sciences."
Not long ago, Donglu was besieging the city. Although the Academy of Sciences was not an arsenal, it was better than an arsenal. From the academicians to the craftsmen, everyone was busy. Some were busy making airships and some were forging firearms.
In fact, in addition to the latest bronze gun technology, the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences can basically master the craftsmanship of the arsenal, but they generally do not let the craftsmen forge gun barrels.
When the Academy of Sciences learned that the city defense was in critical condition, they hurriedly forged thousands of gun barrels and transported them to the arsenal for assembly into finished muskets.
Although it is a small effort, it can be regarded as a contribution to the efforts of everyone in the hospital. The focus is still on the unique and large project of the airship.
Almost all the airship troops were dispatched, and several of them were shot down the second time. This also shocked the self-respecting academicians and craftsmen, who also realized that there was still room for improvement in this magical weapon.
"I'm here today. Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to the Academy of Sciences for their outstanding contributions. Your contribution to repelling the Donglu is also due to you. Secondly, I want to warn you that there is a long way to go and you must not take credit for yourself."
"On behalf of all the members of the Academy of Sciences, I would like to thank you for your holy grace. I will definitely live up to His Highness's instructions. In the future, you will be modest, prudent, conscientious, and never dare to cause trouble arbitrarily!"
It was a great blessing that Song Yingxing was promoted to the position of dean, and the Crown Prince kept his word, which was indeed based on the considerable support of the Academy of Sciences.
The annual salary of the craftsmen alone is as high as one hundred taels, which is much higher than the market price. The annual salary of the academicians reaches one thousand taels.
As a result, everyone had a good life and their families had no worries about food and clothing. How could they not shed tears of gratitude? They all regarded the tasks assigned by the Crown Prince as top priority and did not dare to be perfunctory at all.
"According to the prisoner's confession, after Donglu shot down the airship, he sent a crashed and unburned airship out of the city. In other words, after Donglu disassembled and analyzed the parts of the airship and copied it, he also It is possible to build an airship similar to our Ming Dynasty. I think this is very likely to happen, although I do not want to see a similar situation. The Academy of Sciences must be mentally prepared for this and start developing airships that can carry out air combat. Airship. Air combat weapons are various firearms, including small artillery, rockets, etc. At first, there is no need to let the airship take off. Simulation experiments can be carried out on the ground. The firearms hit the air bag a hundred meters away. You can also choose to use it in windy weather Tests were carried out below to simulate the harsh environment in which high-altitude airflow is turbulent and affects the use of firearms. You all know the structure of the airship, and you must also know that if you get the physical sample and study it with concentration, it is not difficult to imitate it. It is nothing more than my own Imperial Oil also controls the fuel of the airship, which is a link that is difficult for Donglu to imitate in a short time. However, I cannot guarantee whether Donglu can obtain the airship fuel through bribery. Once the situation is repaired, Donglu's airship will be destroyed. Then you can quickly take off. By then both the Ming and Qing Dynasties will have airships, and our Ming Dynasty's all-powerful troops will have to accept the challenge of Donglu!"
First of all, I would like to give a warning to the scientists who are working on it, and give them a vaccination, lest they really see the braided airship rushing towards them, and if a group of people catch them blind, a lot of money spent every year will be wasted.
Since the intelligence system in the braid-controlled area had just been established and was still being improved, a certain prince could not allow intelligence personnel to spy on the secret department of the braid in a big way.
If not, not only will you not get valuable information, but it will arouse the other party's suspicion and vigilance, and even be uprooted by the extremely cunning Emperor Taiji, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
A certain prince's request for the agents lurking outside the customs, especially in Shenyang City, was very simple. If it was not a major military situation, there was no need to send letters by flying pigeons to avoid exposing their identities.
Notifying the braided army to come out in full force this time is already a great achievement. When they return to the capital, a certain prince will definitely reward the meritorious officials.
As for Braid's scientific research capabilities, a certain prince currently only knows that they can produce large quantities of red barbarian cannons, not to mention various small cannons and blunderbuss.
After getting the actual airship, we dismantled it. For experienced craftsmen, this thing may seem overwhelming, but in fact, the parts are almost not difficult to copy.
The three main parts are the air bag, hanging basket and burner. A full-scale replica can be made within a year or even half a year.
It's just that this thing has no fuel and will never fly. If it burns coal...
A certain prince didn't know whether Huang Taiji was happy or not. Anyway, the airship would definitely not be happy to eat this stuff!
Ordinary crude oil can also be used as fuel, but the heat energy provided by combustion is far less than that of refined refined oil.
Since he was unable to stop Braid from imitating the airship, a certain prince could only temporarily use fuel to jam Huang Taiji's neck.
We can delay it as long as we can, but we can't wait any longer.
The most indispensable thing for Huangtai Chicken is the cow and sheep skin needed to make the airbag, but the larger the airbag is, the more hot air is needed for liftoff.
This is not just a matter of lighting some firewood and burning some pulverized coal to lift the airship off the ground. Back then, the Academy of Sciences had gone to great lengths to create a hand-cranked and pedal-operated blowtorch burner.
However, it would also be a good thing for Ming Dynasty if Huang Taiji tilted its limited resources towards airships.
No matter how low the cost of the airship is, even if it is mass-produced, the cost of one airship cannot be less than two thousand taels of silver, and ten ships are twenty thousand taels. After all, there are so many cows and sheepskins there.
Ten thousand taels of silver can support a hundred cavalry at least, which is equivalent to the cost of building up to five airships. One more airship can save at least twenty cavalry.
For the Ming Dynasty King's Division, the braided cavalry were brave and good at fighting, but it was difficult to fight in the field. However, with the rich experience of the forerunners, it was not difficult to shoot down the opponent's airship.
If a fight really breaks out, it is estimated that in half an hour at most, the Ming Air Force will be able to destroy the airship force that Huang Taiji spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to form.
When it comes to fighting a ground war, a certain prince admitted that the Ming Dynasty King's Master had no other option in the near future except Gou or Gou.
But if you engage in air combat, you can beat the braided air force into pieces!
At the very least, the Ming Dynasty Air Force already has actual combat experience, and the braided Air Force has not yet been revealed.
Unless Huang Taiji mobilized troops to besiege Jinzhou after forming an air force, there would be no hope for the airship to gain valuable practical experience.
The reason why actual combat experience is valuable is because the party that dispatches the airship has to bear losses in personnel, weapons, and funds. Only in this way can actual combat experience be gained.
The airship is lying on the ground and you still want to gain practical experience. Isn't this a daydream? ? ?
"Hiss... please rest assured, Your Highness, the Academy of Sciences will work hard day and night to study airship air combat strategies."
The prince's words made Song Yingxing take a breath of air. If Donglu really imitated the airship, it would be extremely detrimental to the Ming Dynasty.
The Academy of Sciences is the first to bear the brunt of airship air combat and has unshirkable responsibility. If the Academy of Sciences, which gathers elites, cannot come up with countermeasures, other yamen will be even less able.
Not only Song Yingxing, but also Xiong Renlin, the vice president in charge of the airship project, and Bo Jue, the academician, were stunned for a long time. Donglu's creation of an airship was something they had never thought of.
According to what the prince said, Donglu will have this fairy weapon that can dominate the sky within a year or even half a year at most.
"I came here in person to explain the situation, so as not to directly send an order and put too much pressure on the Academy of Sciences. At the moment, we still need to work step by step and advance each project in an orderly manner. We must not forget to sleep and eat, which will affect our rest. . Good health is equally important to the Academy of Sciences. Without a good body, how can we engage in scientific research in the future? I feel it is necessary to conduct regular physical examinations for all members of the Academy of Sciences. For those who are diagnosed with physical diseases, their work will be suspended until they recover! "
A certain prince is so overbearing and unreasonable, and there is no need to be unreasonable about certain things. This is a truth that everyone knows. Anyone who pretends to be stupid can be sent to mine.
"Then we need to pay attention to a balanced diet, so that the body can absorb various nutrients. For example, everyone in the Academy of Sciences must eat sea salt, so as to reduce the possibility of big neck disease. If even people in the Academy of Sciences can get this disease, then it's terrible You will really be laughed at. Furthermore, you should be strict about eating raw fish and meat, and be careful to prevent the parasites in the fish from directly entering the body. Drinking raw water must also be avoided. Now all the Wang divisions are not allowed to drink raw water. The Academy of Sciences must set an example. In the future, all scientific and reasonable working and catering methods must be promoted and implemented in the Academy of Sciences. Anyone who dares to refuse to obey is disobeying the decree and disrespecting it!"
Isn't this a big joke that a scientist died because he ate something unclean?
A certain prince has arranged relevant personnel for the Academy of Sciences to provide catering services, so that everyone can have three meals without leaving the hospital.
"Today I am having a meal in the courtyard. Everyone is eating too much, so I am eating too much to see how it tastes. If the chef does well, he will be rewarded. If he does not do well, then don't do it. Go and dig. . I don’t have time to waste on this matter, and I will solve the problem when I find it. If the food is not good, change the food, and if the person is not good, change the person!"
The food expenses of the Academy of Sciences are comparable to those of officers in the army. If it is not as expected by a certain prince, then there must be something wrong or a big problem.
A certain prince came here just to see who dared to cause problems, so he was calling his number.
Don't worry, we will move to Dongchang, the home of a certain prince, later!
"Dean Song, what are the current dining standards of the Academy of Sciences?"
"Back to Your Highness, each meal for craftsmen costs forty cents, for apprentices sixty cents per meal, for students one hundred cents per meal, and for academicians one hundred and fifty cents per meal!"
"Yeah! That's okay!"
A bowl of beef ramen without much meat on the market only costs 20 yuan. Even according to this standard, it is enough for each craftsman to eat two bowls of ramen, although beef is considered a controlled food and is temporarily unavailable.
"Thank you, President Song sent someone to tell the kitchen that I have left, so just cook as usual. After Zhou Dynasty, just leave a few dozen people. The others have withdrawn from the Academy of Sciences and are waiting around, so as not to disturb the people."
"Your Highness, this..."
"The Academy of Sciences itself is also protected by factory guards. If something happens to me here, it will happen in the East Palace as well. Please go ahead!"
"yes!"
It's really troublesome to have to make arrangements first to get a meal.
A certain prince was not afraid that the chef would poison his food if he knew he wanted to eat.
The chefs who can work at the Academy of Sciences must have family members as guarantors, otherwise something may happen.
Even so, they have to be reviewed before they can come to work. If something goes wrong, their family members will be implicated, which makes the chefs wary.
A certain prince dined with Dean Song and others, and the quality of the food was naturally not low.
Although there are only four dishes and one soup, it is very balanced, one fish, one chicken, one roasted cabbage, and one stewed potatoes.
Egg soup can warm you up, and it should be very delicious when cooked with rice.
As a connoisseur, a certain prince tasted it a little and knew the skill of the cook.
It's not that I don't want to eat it, or that I'm afraid of being poisoned, but I want to see what the people below have eaten.
A certain prince asked someone to find a piece of coarse cloth and cover it with his dragon robe, and then asked his subordinates to do the same. Li Jizhou also put away his fly whisk so that no flaws could be exposed.
After disguising themselves, the guards did not openly carry a knife, but they had a flexible soft knife on their waists. Since they were all masters, they could still take out lives when necessary.
Dean Song and Vice Dean Xiong had too high goals, so they asked Bo Dacaizi to lead the way. A certain prince and his entourage arrived at the canteen where the craftsmen ate.
After entering the house, a certain prince saw the problem at a glance.
As far as the eye can see, there is no meat in the bowls of all the craftsmen!
Not only that, but when I walked to the place where the food was served, I also found something like this, then...
The price of a meal is as high as fifty yuan. Even if you go to a restaurant outside, you can still eat a few pieces of meat, right?
The results of it?
There is no meat or fish to be seen here!
But don’t tell me that all the pigs that wanted to eat have run away, all the fish have escaped, and all the chickens and ducks have flown away!
This incognito private interviewer is really angry!
Under his own feet, he was still the yamen established by himself. It had only been a while before this kind of problem appeared.
"Call the person in charge! Be polite!"
"yes!"
When the person in charge came, he was almost looking at the person through his nostrils because he was invited very politely.
"Who are you? You look very angry. You're not from the courtyard, are you? If you want to eat, it's fifty cents per person!"
Without his master's permission, Li Jizhou could only hold back his anger. He dared to be so arrogant to the prince. He was really tired of living.
"Haha, spending fifty dollars to eat pig food???"
A certain prince smiled instead of being angry. This dog's ability to rely on human power is quite reasonable!
"You child, if you like to eat, you will leave if you don't!"
The manager walked away on his back, as if he didn't want to make more money at all.
"You are an interesting person. I...can't eat meat for 50 yuan, but your attitude is quite arrogant!"
"What's wrong? We are the stewards here. You are not a member of the courtyard. No one invites you over to eat!"
"It's good to say that I... came uninvited. However, there is a reason why I came uninvited!"
"Hmph~! We don't care where you come from, don't cause trouble. Seeing that you are a child, I don't want to pay attention to you. If you don't want to eat, leave as soon as possible! Academician Bo, you brought this child, right? Take it away quickly! "
"..."
"Okay, you can let me... leave, but I have to take someone with me!"
"Ah? Who to take?"
"bring you!"
