It was all the way to the scope of the Jiajiang Industrial Zone, Zhu Zhanji finally let go of An Xiaohu, who was already out of breath after him.

He finally discovered that although this An Xiaohu has a ruffian, he is not a bad guy. On the contrary, he knows better than anyone else about some of the unspoken rules of today's business, and he is also good at using them.

For example, today's Yingtianfu Silk Weaving Association has the shadow of their Anyuan Silk Association. Of course, it's not him who is in charge, but his father.

This guild was not as formal as in later generations, because all policies are now controlled by the internal supervisors, how dare the merchants blatantly organize guilds to fight with the internal supervisors.

They just took advantage of the regional advantages, followed behind the internal prison to play for the tiger, and then unified the price and bullied the merchants from other places.

In the past, the head of the Lan family was still there, and the relationship with this side was still there, and Lan Yan's father was flexible, so he would not be subjected to unnecessary trouble.

But now that she has changed to blue smoke, this chick doesn't understand anything, she just thinks that Shu brocade is of good quality, and she won't worry about selling it when she arrives in Beijing. But she didn't want the price of silk to plummet now, and she didn't know the market, but she had a dull mind and didn't want to let it go at all, so she was naturally resisted by the Jingshi.

She found the right one for An Xiaohu, but unfortunately she can talk on paper, but she can't do business enough.

I couldn't stand the grievances at all, and when I heard that the grandson was going to pass downstairs, I directly turned over the big trump card.

An Xiaohu may have a weak tongue, but this time doing business has become a catastrophe of family ruin, and An Xiaohu is also wronged!

Fortunately, Zhu Zhanji didn't want to worry about him, otherwise, just by offending Taisun Liangdi and being touched by Taisun, ten lives would not be enough for Zhu Zhanji.

"Your Royal Highness, in order to apologize slightly, Lan Liangdi's two ships of Shu brocade, I'll accept them at the original price."

"Now that I know about this, will I let her show up? Since it is the best Shu brocade, I have my own place to go, so I won't bother you. Young Eunuch Li, write down his address, if I have something to find him in the future, I can find someone. ”

After sending An Xiaohu away, Zhu Zhanji thought about using cotton planting and sheep raising to lead the merchants to the grassland and to the northwest. This plan came out of nowhere, has not been fully considered, and needs to be considered in the long term.

At least, he also has to go back to have a good understanding of the current situation of Daming's textile industry, and know Daming's cotton production today, so that he can make unified arrangements.

Entering the scope of the Jiajiang Industrial Zone, the most downstream is the grain processing zone more than a mile long, which is close to the mouth of the Qinhuai River, and there are countless flat boats pulling grain docked on the bank, and people come and go.

Upstream are more than a dozen workshops specializing in jade, gold and silver jewelry, which are smaller in scale and less complicated in staff.

Then there was a large area enclosed by the internal supervisors, and they had a lot of money, and they asked for a two-mile embankment and installed nearly 100 waterwheels.

All the factories are built along the river, with blue brick walls, a bit like the state-owned factories built in the fifties and sixties in the later generations.

Further upstream is the forbidden area, and the entry and exit are guarded by the soldiers of the sailor, and here is mainly the waterwheel research center of the Ministry of Industry. Today's watermills have not yet fully developed their functions, and the Ministry of Works, which has tasted the sweetness, has arranged for at least hundreds of craftsmen to do various research here.

In Zhu Zhanji's plan, this place will be developed into an industrial zone in the future, and the real research should be placed on Jiangxin Island.

There are sailors stationed there, and no one dares to go to the island at will.

There is still a waiting for cement production, and the production of cement is currently in short supply, so the curing of the embankment is progressing slowly.

However, Zhu Zhanji is not in a hurry about this matter, as long as he has promoted the development foundation of the entire industry, he doesn't need to worry about it later.

Because they see the benefits, everyone has enough motivation.

All he needs to do is lead the way, and then occasionally guide the progress of some new technologies.

The forging and casting plant are located downstream of the research center of the Ministry of Industry and belong to the industry of internal supervision. Here are eight large warehouses tens of meters long. Next to the river is the workshop, and then there is a large courtyard, which is full of smelted coke transported from Huaibei.

There is only one furnace for steelmaking, which is still experimental, and the rest are all furnaces for alchemy and silver.

Countless pieces of loose silver would be smelted here and turned into silver ingots of five taels or fifty taels, which would then be supplied to the imperial court for circulation or reward.

At a time when gold and silver coins had not yet been developed, these casting tasks could not be stopped.

Because it is too close to the capital, there is no iron-making furnace here. The iron ore in Ma'anshan has not yet been discovered, and Zhu Zhanji has no intention of developing it.

At present, the iron used here is all smelted into iron ingots in Daye. It then travels down the Yangtze River and is transported directly here for secondary steelmaking or testing of other high-strength steels.

Manganese steel, with a ratio of more than 13 percent, was tested here, and then little by little, craftsmen used wax etching, files, and grinding tools to create a money fan.

All the Qian Fan was made by many people at the beginning, but the last step of polishing was all polished by an old craftsman named Meng Shuangquan, who is 51 years old this year.

At present, four manganese steel coins have been made, each with two sides on the top and bottom, and four silver coins can be forged at the same time.

The obverse of the coin is a clear profile portrait of Zhu Di, with the Ming Empire on the top and the Yellow Emperor on the bottom, with ears of wheat on the left and ears of rice on the right, and a circle of serrations around it.

The image on the reverse side is the sun on the left and the moon on the right, one convex and one concave, combined into a Tai Chi pattern. There is also a dragon around the perimeter, which is circled, and between the dragon's head and the dragon's tail, there are one or two capitals.

Forging is actually the same as casting, all need exhaust holes, according to the design, the exhaust holes are in the position of the back faucet, which is just a longan exposed.

After Zhu Zhanji made the first dollar, he first forged out 40 silver coins by manpower, using "sterling silver" in circulation.

The forged silver coins are actually less than one tael, but the difference is very little, and the difference is a little because it is now "pure silver".

When it is forged on a large scale in the future, the composition of the silver will only be retained to ninety percent, and the remaining one-percent will be an alloy of copper, nickel and lead.

Of course, this is because of the cost, but more because silver is relatively soft and easy to wear, and the addition of alloy can enhance hardness and toughness, longer service life, and can also prevent rust.

After the sample money was manufactured, Zhu Zhanji gave it to Zhu Di to finalize the version.

Seeing that his profile face was printed on a silver dollar, not to mention how happy Zhu Di was. Because of the little anger caused by his private heaven, it dissipated, and he greatly praised Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Di was quite satisfied with the overall design of the silver coin, especially the idea of using sawtooth to prevent wear, and Zhu Di praised Zhu Zhanji very much.

Only for the Yellow Emperor calendar, he felt a little unhappy, because he felt that he should print his own era name.

However, Zhu Zhanji still persuaded him with the theory of orthodoxy, in fact, in his heart, he wanted to promote the commemoration of the Yellow Emperor calendar and break the Western commemoration of Jesus.

It was because the chronology in the East was too confusing that the whole world later used the Jesus chronology, which was actually the biggest suppression in the East.

Of course, the current Zhu Zhanji does not want this situation to continue to occur, so he decided to start comprehensively promoting the Yellow Emperor calendar from now on. And as long as this date is printed on the coin, the whole Asian country will recognize this year in the future.

Although Zhu Di was very satisfied with the design of the silver coin, he also volunteered to ask for the design right of the gold coin and prepared to design a set of gold coins by himself.

However, due to design problems with hydraulic forging presses, mass production has not been possible until now.

In this, the biggest remaining problem is the procedure of lifting and forging hammering, which is actually the question of whether the force of hydraulic power can be accumulated.

Unlike the steam engine, hydraulic power can accumulate power, which also results in a smooth output of hydraulic power, but there is a maximum force limit.

The power can be solved by the gear output ratio, but how to make the forging hammer work continuously one by one, the key is still a transmission problem.

Before coming, Zhu Zhanji thought of a solution, which is actually very simple, that is, a crankshaft transmission method.

In later generations, whether it was a four-cylinder engine or a six-cylinder engine, it was actually a crankshaft. But this one crankshaft can drive four and six cylinders.

If the piston is regarded as a forging hammer, two forging hammers up, two down, so that the rotation alternates up and down, which can not only solve the problem of stable power, but also solve the problem of transmission.

I just don't know if today's water power can drive such a large force.

Because under the test of the craftsmen, if the working range of the hammer is one meter high, in order to forge the silver coin with the most suitable force, the weight of the hammer needs to be 80 kilograms.

When Zhu Zhanji explained his sketches and solutions in detail to a group of people in the Ministry of Engineering, they felt that it was feasible just by seeing the drawings.

Many times, the invention is just a layer of window paper, and when it is broken, everything becomes clear.

Now, the key is to cast the crankshaft model out of clay and then polish it. Even if there are a group of people with the strongest skills in the whole Ming Dynasty, this process may take at least half a month.

After arranging these tasks, Zhu Zhanji can ignore it again, he is ready to take Lan Yan to Jiangxin Island to have a round.

finally had the opportunity to meet a beautiful woman, this is also their first date, it would be a pity to waste this opportunity.

Lan Yan, a stupid girl, finally opened her mind a little, it may be that everything that happened today made her see her fate clearly. So after coming to the industrial zone, I refused to show my head again.

However, in order not to bear Zhu Zhanji's disappointment, he agreed to take a boat with him to Jiangxin Island to play around.

In the palace opposite the city, Zhu Di also knew what Zhu Zhanji was doing today, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "This bastard boy doesn't understand etiquette at all." Even if he is unmarried, he shouldn't be hugging on the street, what kind of body has become. ”
