Chapter 154, Someone Raised the Price of Food

Tianjin cement workshop here, Liu Jin at this time to a construction drawings to Sun Xin admonished: "This cement workshop is very important, must be processed, add points to build first, only burn out the cement, we can do many things more quickly and smoothly." ”

"The first blast furnace for firing cement had to be built in ten days, and within half a month we were going to have the first batch of cement."

"Yes, the subordinates will definitely live up to the son's entrustment."

Sun Xin nodded very solemnly and said.

He is now promoted again, and was promoted by Liu Jin to become the chief manager of the Tianjin Cement Workshop, responsible for preparing for the Tianjin Cement Workshop.

"Well, do a good job, if you don't understand anything, come and ask me."

Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction, then patted Sun Xin on the shoulder and said.

This Sun Xin, a homeless person last year, was originally called Sun Ergou, and in just a few months, the whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes.

He is very good at learning, and he is very willing to work hard, he is very careful in his work, and he can think of many aspects, so Liu Jin also appreciates him very much, constantly promotes him, and now lets him take charge of himself.

"Yes, Childe."

Sun Xin was very excited, and now he was able to stand alone, this was Liu Jin's trust in him, and he secretly swore that he must make this Tianjin cement workshop beautiful.

"Lao Liu, Lao Liu~"

Just when Liu Jin was about to rush to the Maritime Academy, Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin to find him.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince~"

Liu Jin and Sun Xin hurriedly said respectfully.

"Excuse me, excuse me."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to show that there was no need to be polite, and then said to Liu Jin: "Old Liu, when will we go to sea to hunt whales?" ”

"I've been in Tianjin for a few days, and I'm impatient to wait."

Zhu Houzhao is really not a peaceful person, on the way to Tianjin and Liu Jin talked, he knew that there is a giant sea fish in the ocean - whale, the whole person shouted every day to go to sea to hunt whales, hunt this legendary North Underworld fish, its name is Kun, Kun is so big, I don't know thousands of miles, soaring up to 90,000 miles into a magical animal of Peng Bird.

"My Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you see where I have time to go to sea to hunt whales now, now I am exhausted, I am busy all day long, and I don't have time at all."

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately smiled helplessly and said with a wry smile, this is the truth, Liu Jin is very busy now, very busy.

Because the stall was spread too big all of a sudden, it was a maritime college, a cement workshop, a shipbuilding workshop, etc., and there were so many things that needed to be busy, so that Liu Jin never slept lazy after arriving in Tianjin.

Moreover, Liu Jin didn't dare to take Zhu Houzhao to the sea to whaling even if he had nine heads, if he had three longs and two shorts, if something happened, Liu Jin would definitely be wiped out by the nine clans.

Just look at Liu Jin next to Zhu Houzhao, the whole person is in a hurry, but there is no way to take Zhu Houzhao, he can only keep giving Liu Jin a look.

"Then when will the academy of the Maritime Academy go to sea for training?"

"They have all come to Tianjin, so they should also go to maritime training, right?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was immediately unhappy, thought about it and asked again.

"The students of the Maritime Academy did not go to maritime training so quickly, and now there is nothing here in Tianjin, and they still have to build their own academy with their own hands."

"In addition, this shipbuilding workshop has not yet been built, and there is no way to overhaul and transform the ship, so it will not go to sea for the time being."

Liu Jin thought about it and said, now he can only use procrastination.

"Can't you go to sea now?"

"Even if it's just a walk around the neighborhood, I've never sailed on a boat."

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips, and the whole person suddenly became listless.

On the way here, I heard Liu Jin talk about too much, too many things in the ocean, and the whole person is also very yearning for the ocean, and he even said that he wanted to go to the ocean to be a pirate and experience the feeling of robbery.

"No, this sea is very dangerous, you need to train step by step, only after passing the rigorous training, can you become a qualified sailor, can you go to sea."

"Your Highness, you don't even know how to swim, you don't know the basic knowledge of the sea, naturally you can't go to the sea, after all, you are the prince, you are a daughter, everything about you is related to the future of our Ming Dynasty, I don't dare to take risks."

Seeing Zhu Hou like this, he didn't give up if he didn't get to the Yellow River, there was no way, Liu Jin could only say this after thinking about it.

"Yes, yes, Lao Liu, you're right."

"The cadets of this maritime academy have all been studied and trained and have the qualifications to become sailors, and it is indeed too risky for me to go to sea without any study and training."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao not only did not get angry, but thought about it and said very seriously: "I have decided, I will enter the Maritime Academy from today to study, and I must become a qualified sailor." ”

“……”

Liu Jin and Liu Jin glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes, this Zhu Houzhao was so unexpected, no one could guess what his next move would be.

"It's okay, in history, Emperor Zhengde died soon after falling into the water, maybe learn it here at the Maritime Academy, be familiar with the water, maybe this will not happen in the future."

Liu Jin knew that he had no way to change Zhu Houzhao's mind, and he could only comfort himself in his heart.

"Teacher, it's not good, it's not good, something big is wrong."

At this moment, someone hurriedly walked over, and said anxiously without having time to catch his breath.

The person who came was Tong Yuan, one of Liu Jin's cheap apprentices, because he was very good at mathematics, so Liu Jin also asked him to help with logistics management and support.

"What's wrong?"

"So flustered, didn't you see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?"

Liu Jin said in an old-fashioned manner, quite a bit of a teacher.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When Tong Yuan heard this, he also hurriedly saluted Zhu Houzhao.

"Excuse me, what's going on?"

Zhu Houzhao also hurriedly asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, teacher, today I went to purchase grain to know that the grain in the whole Tianjin has begun to skyrocket, originally because of the famine, this grain has risen to 15 Wen a catty, and now it has risen to 30 Wen a catty, and these grains in Tianjin City have begun to be restricted, unwilling to sell grain to us on a large scale, it seems that they are still waiting for the famine to spread, so as to continue to raise the price of grain."

Tong Yuan said very anxiously: "We have now recruited several construction sites to start construction at the same time, recruited thousands of people, and need tens of thousands of catties of food every day, what can we do now?" ”
