The General Administration of Beiping Machinery began to build high-pressure steam at the fastest speed, and there was no need to worry about the affairs of Tianjin, and then we had to wait for Zhu Yu to use the high-pressure steam engine to control the drought in Tianjin.

In this way, he can take away the two words of Quanzhi and officially become the governor of Tianjin.

The industrial faction can not only win the base of a prefecture again, but also provide the most powerful backing and backing for the first modern port of the Ming Dynasty that is about to be built.

Zhu Shun's attention to this Tianjin prefect has even surpassed that of Shuntian Mansion and the oldest and most stable industrial base.

Because Tianjin Mansion is the window of the industrial faction to the world in the future, and it is also the strategic starting point of the industrial faction to export industrial products to the West, there must be no slight difference.

After the drought was controlled, the prefect of Tianjin Prefecture got his hands on it, so that the establishment of Tianjin Port became a logical step.

With this window for exporting industrial products to the West, in order to develop in the early stage of the industrial revolution, all kinds of steam factories that were scattered without any rules and regulations had to be sorted out.

The center of heavy industry, the center of light industry, and the center of chemical industry, which is only a prototype, were formally established.

Zhu Shun sat in the workers' hall in the industrial city, signed one document after another, and ordered the bookkeepers of the strategy department to rush to the homes of the various factory owners and call them all.

When Zhu Shun was preparing to establish Tianjin Port, he already had the idea of establishing a heavy industry center, a light industry center, and a chemical industry center.

He sent a letter to the princes of various feudal lords in Nanyang.

The future Ming Dynasty is responsible for the production of various industrial products, and these vicious dogs raised by the Ming Dynasty are responsible for dumping industrial products and plundering the resources of countries around the world.

A rising empire will gradually be established, which is also the most effective strategy that England has spent more than a hundred years exploring with blood and tears when establishing an empire in the future.

Zhu Shun used it directly, and brought the good things that England had groped out with the lives of countless English people, and he didn't have any burden in his heart at all.

When Zhu Shun finished signing the last document, the crown prince Zhu Cilang walked in in a hurry, looking at his anxious appearance, it was estimated that his mouth would be blistering if he continued like this.

Zhu Shun personally poured a cup of tea for the crown prince Zhu Cihong, examined it a few times and asked, "What is going on here, so anxious." ”

The crown prince Zhu Cihong drank the tea in his hand in one gulp, wiped his mouth a little uncharacteristically, and revealed a bitter gourd face: "Sir, the student has come to you to complain." ”

Grumble? Zhu Shun nodded and motioned to the crown prince Zhu Cihong to continue.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong poured another cup of tea and poured another sip, as if he wanted to use the tea to suppress the anger in his heart: "The student is short of silver." ”

"I didn't care about it before, and I didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive."

"Sir also knows that after we came back from Miyun County, we established a people's army."

"But even this people's army of 3,000 people has squeezed out almost all the taxes in Miyun County, so there is still a big gap."

There is a lot of land in Miyun County, and there is no concealment or trickery, all of which have been measured and clarified and handed over to the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

For the sake of the people in the birthplace of land reform, the tax collected has reached an outrageously low tenth, but there is also a lot of grain that can be collected every year.

After all, this tax of one out of ten is charged on the basis of 1,000 catties of hybrid rice and potatoes with a higher yield.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong saw Mr.'s question, made a bitter face, and began to calculate an account: "First of all, this issue of military salary. ”

"The army is fighting desperately with the enemy in front, and we can save any money, but we can't save this silver."

"The infantry salary of the People's Army, the students were finalized together with Mr., and it was four taels of silver per month."

"At the end of the year, it is forty-eight taels of silver, and counting the reward of two taels of silver at the end of the year, it is a total of fifty taels of silver."

There is really nothing to find fault with the salaries of the infantry of the People's Army, and it is Zhu Shun who has contributed to the improvement of the treatment of the soldiers.

After talking about the salaries of the militia infantry, the crown prince Zhu Cihong seemed to be in no mood to continue, and took out a mulberry paper account book and handed it to Zhu Shun.

Zhu Shun opened the account book and looked at it carefully.

In order to improve the combat capability of the people's army, and also to sweat more in peacetime and shed less blood in wartime, the people's army conducts 100 live firing every month in addition to normal drills.

The service life of the Doumi rifle is 200 rounds, which means that a Doumi rifle can be used for two months, and six Doumi rifles in a year.

The price of the Daming Arms Company for the Doumi rifle is ten taels of silver, which is the price for the princes of the feudal lords.

After all, Zhu Cilang, the crown prince who established the People's Army, was his own man and one of the leaders of the Industrial Revolution, and the price was cut in half.

As long as five taels of silver each, in this way, the annual consumption of the doumi rifle is thirty taels of silver.

In addition to consuming doumi rifles, the people's army also consumes a great deal of gunpowder and lead bullet in the live-fire exercises.

Gunpowder made of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal can be used about ten times per catty, and each catty is one cent-and-a-four cents of silver.

The gunpowder consumed by a doumi rifle is two coins and eight cents of silver, and one or two or six cents and eight cents of silver in a year.

A pound of lead bullet can be used about twelve or three times, and the price of a pound is three cents and three cents of silver, and the consumption of a bucket rice rifle is five dollars and two cents and eight cents of silver.

Over the course of a year, the consumption of lead bullet is three taels and one cents of silver.

The total consumption of gunpowder and lead bullet is about five taels of silver per year.

In addition to these, the people's army's military jackets, oil, salt, firewood, etc., were consumed in fifteen taels of silver.

Finally, there is another large part of consumption, and that is food.

A normal person can eat about 15 stone of grain every year, and the ration of the people's army is 18 stone, and the grain is self-produced and sold.

Although it is self-produced and self-sold, which greatly reduces the cost, the infantry of the People's Army cannot only eat grain and not eat meat and vegetables, which is not conducive to their high-intensity physical training.

With the addition of meat and vegetables, as well as wine rewards at certain times, the annual food consumption of a civilian infantry is twenty taels of silver.

Zhu Shun flipped this mulberry paper ledger to the end and saw the final amount, the annual cost of raising an infantry in the civilian army was one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

The total number of people in the civilian army is 3,000, not counting the training and silver investment of the officers and soldiers of the army's martial arts hall, these lowest-level infantry alone need 360,000 taels of silver every year.

When Zhu Shun saw the final amount, he finally understood why the prince had such a bitter gourd face, and it was indeed not enough to rely on the taxes of Miyun County.
