From the moment the navy was decided, Zhu Di set aside an area on the south side of Chang'an Avenue and the garrison of the avant-garde of the government army to build a new naval governor's mansion.

Although the construction was also carried out overtime during the Chinese New Year, the Governor's Mansion was still not completed until the first month.

This is equivalent to saying that although the formation of the navy was established on the first day of the first lunar month, it still does not have its own headquarters.

And Zhu Zhanji, the commander of the navy, is still a bare-bones commander.

This is not that he has no troops available now, since the news of the formation of the navy by the naval division at the end of the year came out, the military department has mobilized more than hundreds of officials at or above the garrison level from all over the country to Beijing.

Almost every sailor, more than half of the officials, and only a few mobile fleets along the coast, did not come to the capital because of the search for the Japanese invaders.

However, with so many people gathered in the capital, Zhu Zhanji could only have a primary liaison through the military headquarters at present, and did not form his own communication system.

At the court meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Zhu Zhanji received the order, he proposed to transfer Liu Jiang to the post of Zuo Du of the Navy Headquarters to assist him in forming the navy.

Zhu Di agreed to the transfer of Liu Jiang, but the holy decree was issued, and it would take at least a month for Liu Jiang to rush to the capital, so at present, Zhu Zhanji is still hanging those naval generals.

He didn't mean to snub those officers, in fact, he, the highest-ranking naval officer, had to establish a buffer link with the admirals under the tree.

This is not war, he cannot go into battle shirtless. Otherwise, if he encounters a little problem, it will damage his prestige as a grandson and a naval commander and a naval governor.

Therefore, taking advantage of the time when Liu Jiang had not yet arrived in Beijing, he was ready to build the framework for the establishment of the Academy of Sciences and the establishment of the industrial zone.

The framework for the establishment of the Daming Academy of Sciences is the craftsmen drawn from the Ministry of Industry, so this is just a framework, it is impossible to expect them to independently develop, and in the early development period, Zhu Zhanji must show them the direction of development.

China's ancient inventions were basically only practical, not logical.

An invention is often invented for a certain purpose, but after it is invented, it lacks the malleability of its function.

Just like a waterwheel, ancient China had a variety of waterwheels when the Netherlands did not have it, but for thousands of years, the use of hydraulic resources for grinding noodles has never been studied, only the simple function of watering.

Confucianism's imprisonment of people's thoughts can only be compared with religion in history, especially now that Zhu Yuanzhang has limited the scientific examination to the scope of Baguwen, this kind of examination-oriented education is a serious castration of thought.

If Zhu Zhanji had not given guidance, he could have imagined that in the near future, this organization would become a retreat organization dedicated to serving the leadership, and there would be countless such units in the future.

If you want to produce research results, you must set a clear research direction for them at the beginning. With the ancient wisdom of the Chinese people, as long as you really want to do something, there is almost nothing you can't do.

From the beginning, the use of administrative orders to force research and development, Zhu Zhanji, the order of the grandson, can also be listened to as a holy decree.

The research and development of textile machines, waterwheels, and transmission systems are all technologies that can be developed in this era.

Then there is the use of science and technology, when the merchant or the court tastes the sweetness, at this time there is no need for Zhu Zhanji's guidance little by little.

Finally, there are various reward and punishment mechanisms, which are not only material, but also honorable.

This is still an era of simple heart, and the rewards of honor and social recognition can move people's hearts more than material rewards.

In this way, the gradual improvement of the mechanism can allow an institution to play a more active role, and only then can people have a higher enthusiasm for research and development, and promote social progress.

The location of Xiamaqiao Farm is too small, in Zhu Zhanji's concept, this will be the future research center of the Ming Dynasty, and the industrial zone can only be located on the riverside not far from the Yangtze River, and the continuous flow of Yangtze River water power will be an important engine for the development of the industrial zone.

Early in the morning of the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Zhu Zhanji moved off the bridge with his escort, and the Ma family from Suzhou was already waiting at the farm.

They can be regarded as a family voter now, although they are not Zhu Zhanji's retainers, but the honor and disgrace of the whole family are tied to Zhu Zhanji.

So when they met this time, they all bowed one after another, knelt down on the ground in a proper manner, and kowtowed three times.

Ma Di is already familiar with Zhu Zhanji, and he doesn't have so many etiquettes on weekdays, and when he saw that his parents were paying a big salute, he quickly knelt down.

In addition to Ma Di, Zhu Zhanji also noticed a delicate girl, who was secretly looking at him curiously at this time.

Zhu Zhanji smiled at her, she immediately lowered her head shyly, and the roots of her ears were blushing.

The woman in the water town has a unique style, although she is still young, but she is indeed a rare beauty.

Zhu Zhanji's heart moved, and he looked at Ma Di and Ma Zhicai again, and had already decided to take this little beauty into the harem.

Ma Zhicai has three brothers, he is an official, and the second brother inherited the family heirloom jade shop, but he didn't come over this time.

And the third brother Ma Zhide inherited some living money, built a glazed kiln by himself, and now he is also doing a business in the Ministry of Industry, which can be said to be a good mix.

However, he, like Ma Zhicai, has been smoothed out by life. In their bodies, including the other descendants of the Ma family, Zhu Zhanji did not find the aura that Ma Di possessed.

A scientific and technological worker, of course, needs rich accumulation, but the pioneering spirit is more important.

Otherwise, you will never be an engineer, not a scientist.

After they finished kowtowing three heads, Zhu Zhanji stepped forward to help Ma Zhide and said with a smile: "Master Ma Kiln doesn't need to be polite, Brother Ru is now an official under me, and Ma Di is also doing things with me now, so they will be more casual with each other in the future." As long as you work hard, I will ensure that your Ma family will be prosperous and prosperous in the future, and enjoy inexhaustible. ”

Although Ma Zhide is a few years younger than Ma Zhicai, he obviously suffered a lot when he was young, and he looks older than Ma Zhicai, but his body is strong.

He didn't dare to let Zhu Zhanji personally come to help, so he got up quickly. His eyes didn't dare to look at Zhu Zhanji, he only dared to look at the hem of his clothes and said: "Xiaomin's family was originally a grass people, and it is really a blessing to be favored by His Royal Highness." In the future, I will work together as a family to serve His Highness. ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and asked, "Has the official office ever served the exoneration document?" ”

At this time, Ma Zhicai said: "His Royal Highness Lao is worried, Weichen returned to Suzhou a year ago, and this matter has been dealt with." ”

"He has been taken away. After the fifteenth year, the concubine selection mission will be sent to various parts of the Ming Dynasty. Suzhou is a place of outstanding people, and naturally there will be missions. I think Ling Ai is now of marriage age, have you ever married? ”

Ma Zhide was a little dumbfounded and looked at his eldest brother. Ma Zhicai immediately said: "My niece Xin is now thirteen years old, and because of her nationality as a criminal in previous years, she has not yet said that she is married. ”

Zhu Zhanji said shamelessly: "Ma Xin...... Good name. Lone fell in love at first sight today, but he didn't want her to marry someone else. ”

Ma Zhicai pulled Ma Zhide's shirt, he reacted, and immediately knelt down and said: "Little girl Pu Liu's posture, Your Highness can see the glory of my Ma family, Xiaomin will immediately arrange for Da'er to send her back to Suzhou to run for election." ”

Ma Di was still a little confused, he looked at Zhu Zhanji, then at his father, and finally fixed his eyes on his sister.

He couldn't figure it out, in such a short period of time, Zhu Zhanji, the grandson, was going to become his brother-in-law.

Except for him, the rest of the Ma family was overjoyed. can marry his daughter to his grandson, as long as Ma Xin can be named Liangdi, and Zhu Zhanji will ascend the throne in the future, a concubine will be indispensable.

And Ma Xin can be a concubine, then Ma Zhide is an earl.

This is a real step to the sky, and it is also the main reason why the common families of the Ming Dynasty are so enthusiastic about the royal family's choice of concubines.

Today's Ming officials and noble classes are separated, even if you have an official residence, you may not be able to be knighted, but for the concubine's family, knighthood is just a matter of course.

The Ma family is a family of craftsmen, because a daughter can enter the aristocratic class, which is really a pie from heaven for the Ma family.

Only Ma Xinru fell into a dream, and he couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy. This incident was so sudden, just a glance, my life was decided.

She also had a good impression of Zhu Zhanji, she didn't dare to take a closer look just now, she only remembered that he was very tall. The thought of becoming one of his wives in the future made her a little scared, a little expectant, and couldn't help but feel numb.

She's only thirteen years old after all!

Zhu Zhanji turned his head to look at it and instructed Liu Wan to say, "You take two little eunuchs and use the internal prison boat to escort Miss Ma back to Suzhou." ”

Liu Wan bowed and said, "Yes!" ”

Zhu Zhanji said to Li Liang again: "You go and find out who the envoy in Suzhou is, and explain this matter to them." ”

This is the so-called internal decision, since it is Zhu Zhanji's own choice of concubine, as long as he applies for the election, he can directly omit most of the procedures, and he does not have to go through the first five levels.

Ma Zhide doesn't understand this, but Ma Zhicai knows this very well. His niece no longer has to go through the selection of eunuchs and palace maids, and directly faces the selection of the concubine and the emperor, as well as Zhu Zhanji.

He knew that there was now a Sun family in the palace, and that was the candidate for the concubine Sun determined by the royal family. However, since Xin'er is the grandson himself, even if she can't be the princess, Liangdi will at least be a good lady of the fourth grade.

He took the lead in kneeling down and said: "Weichen represents the twenty-six members of the Ma family, thank Your Highness for your grace." ”

As soon as he knelt down, everyone also knelt down, and Zhu Zhanji helped them up one by one. "It doesn't have to be like this, we'll be a family from now on......"

He took the opportunity to look at Ma Xin with a shy face, this little girl is delicate and lovely, not only can she enjoy all the blessings after accepting her, but also make the Ma family grateful, work hard, how can you not lose!
