Inside the City of Industry.

After Zhu Shun entered the industrial city, the dirt road under his feet was finally replaced with a concrete floor.

After learning a news that I don't know if it was good news, the Donglin Party, which was eager to behead everyone in the industrial faction, uncharacteristically agreed to Zhu Shun's younger brother Zhu Yu to serve as the prefect of Tianjin Mansion.

Inside the workers' hall.

Zhu Shun sat on the official hat chair, dealing with a bunch of affairs that had been backlogged during this period of time, and many things had been handled in advance by several senior talents in the Strategy Department.

But there are still some things that need to be signed by Zhu Shun, the leader of the industrial school, without his signature, many things cannot be carried out.

The highest-level controlled arms trading of the Daming Arms Company, the highest-level new machinery of the Beiping Machinery Bureau, and the selection of the showmen of the Jingshi University Hall, etc.

Only after Zhu Shun's signature can these highest-level industrial products and talent selection be decided whether to sell or not, and how to select them.

Zhu Shun had just finished dealing with a bunch of affairs, and the housekeepers of the princes of the clan couldn't wait for a long time, so they hurriedly went to the Daming Arms Company with the documents to grab those new firearms that money couldn't buy.

Before putting down the brush in his right hand, Cao Wenyao walked in in with a wheelchair and said about Zhu Yu's appointment as the prefect of Tianjin Prefecture.

The first thing that puzzled Zhu Shun was that it was not how the Donglin Party became so kind, but this Tianjin Mansion.

Before he went to Miyun County, Daming did not have Tianjin Mansion, only one Tianjin Sanwei.

That is to say, there is only one guard, and Tianjin did not become an independent state capital, but was subordinate to Hejian Province.

What the industrial faction wanted to do most next was to make Tianjin Sanwei become Tianjin Mansion, but I didn't expect it to come true.

Cao Wenyao knew that Zhu Shun would have this question, so he took out the latest map of Beizhili, and said tepidly: "This Tianjin Mansion has just been divided in the past half a month. ”

"It was a large piece of land that was divided from Shuntianfu and Hejian Mansion and divided into Tianjin Mansion."

Cao Wenyao's words were tepid, and Zhu Shun took over the latest map of Beizhili, and he was indeed a little shocked.

This Tianjin Prefecture is equivalent to a municipality directly under the central government in later generations, and how difficult it is to establish a municipality directly under the central government in later generations, so many provinces and cities have a total of four municipalities directly under the central government.

One is the national capital, the other is the national capital, the other is the leader of the national economy, and the other is to develop the southwest economy.

In order to finalize these municipalities, I don't know how many years of consultation, I don't know how many people participated in the decision-making.

It only took half a month for the Donglin Party to divide a mansion, and this ability to manipulate the government really made Zhu Shun a little frightened.

After Zhu Shun finished reading the map in his hand, Song Yingsheng and Huang Zongxi, two great talents in the strategic department, also walked into the head of the public house together.

When a few people sat on the official hat chairs on the left and right rows, Zhu Shun asked: "What do you think about this?" ”

Cao Wenyao, as a military attache from Liaodong, inevitably has a trace of military style in his style, but he is tepid in his mouth but more decisive than anyone else in his heart: "Why don't you agree, how can you not eat the fat meat in your mouth." ”

"Since the Donglin Party wants to give us this fat shortage, then let's eat the Tianjin Governor's Mansion."

Song Yingsheng, who has always been relatively gentle, said a different opinion: "Although it is a piece of fat, it is obviously a piece of fat stained with arsenic. ”

"The Donglin Party will throw such a big bait, it must be mixed with deep calculations."

"It's not that you can't eat it, it's just that before you eat this piece of fat, you have to jump out of the arsenic, let's see what the Donglin Party has planned."

"If you can crack this calculation, of course there is no problem in eating this Tianjin Mansion, but if you eat arsenic, it will hurt Zhu Yu."

"It is even possible to implicate ten friends and let the Donglin Party completely destroy the industrial revolution that is finally in the middle of the year."

Every time it comes to strategic issues, Cao Wenyao's tepidness will turn into a reason, and he said without giving an inch: "Even if it's arsenic, you can see the move when the time comes." ”

"If you miss this opportunity, and you don't know when you will be able to take Tianjin Mansion, you must be clear about the importance of Tianjin Mansion."

"We had thought about taking the power of Tianjin Sanwei before, but Tianjin Sanwei is only a health center after all, and it is obviously very weak in terms of population, economy, and politics."

"It is completely impossible to provide a strong guarantee for the future Tianjin Port, or a backer, and now the Donglin Party has rarely turned Tianjin Sanwei into Tianjin Mansion."

"Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must grasp it in your hands, and Cao Mou will not believe it when you eat what you have in your mouth, and you can still spit it out."

The industrial faction and such a behemoth as the Donglin Party had to be cautious at every step, and the slightest carelessness could lead to heavy losses.

It was because Song Yingsheng knew the importance of Tianjin Mansion to Tianjin Port, and understood the importance of the Industrial Revolution to the Ming Dynasty and the whole nation, that he felt that this matter should be more secure.

When it comes to the issue of the country and the nation, Song Yingsheng's moderation has also become an inch.

However, Song Yingsheng's words have not yet been spoken.

Huang Zongxi took out a Xuande furnace and lit a furnace of incense.

A wisp of incense curls.

The room, which was full of gunpowder, quickly calmed down, and there was a bit more quiet and peaceful.

Huang Zongxi stopped the quarrel between Cao Wenyao and Song Yingsheng, and set his eyes on Zhu Shun, and Zhu Shun finally had to make the decision.

No matter how fierce their quarrel was, they just hoped that Zhu Shun could consider the pros and cons from all their ideas and pick out the most useful strategy.

In the end, it was decided whether to take the prefect of Tianjin Prefecture, whether to take it or not, and the Strategy Department and the entire industrial faction all supported Zhu Shun's decision.

Because only Zhu Shun's decision can convince everyone.

Zhu Shun spread out the existing situation in his hand, the Donglin Party had only one condition, that is, only ten Daming steam engines were allowed to go to Tianjin Mansion.

The only way to manage the drought in Tianjin is to rely on the pumping capacity of the steam engine, which takes a long time to build.

It will take two or three years to say the least, and judging from the drought situation in Tianjin, this reservoir will not be needed in a short time.

In other words, the steam engine can only irrigate 50,000 acres of fields at most, and can only treat 50,000 acres of drought.

However, long before Zhu Shun returned, the Strategy Department had already carried out abacus of the fish scales of each county in Tianjin Prefecture, and the fields reported by the houses in each county were about 100,000 mu.

In other words, ten Daming steam engines are far from enough, and twenty are needed.

According to the meaning of the Donglin Party, only by controlling the drought in Tianjin Mansion can it be possible to remove Zhu Yu, the prefect of Tianjin Prefecture, with the word "Quanzhi" in front of him.
