Chapter 1484: Scientific Experiment Base
By the time Zhu Youzhen realized that the joke he had just made was inappropriate, Anna had already run away. Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt that his old face was hot, and he thought that although Anna had a lively personality, she was an ambassador of a country after all, and she was a Portuguese princess, with a noble status, and she was the right-hand man of his brother João IV. The friendly cooperation between the Ming Dynasty and Portugal is very important at the moment, and this princess cannot be offended because of temporary indiscretion. Portugal and England could have cooperated, but the discord between Portugal and Britain was due to Anna's hatred of King Charlie, and this lesson can be learned.
Sun Qiu Yuanke is a ghost, and Sun Hate is the lonely master
But when Zhu Youzhen caught up with Anna out of breath, they were chatting and laughing with several imperial concubines, as if nothing had happened just now. In front of so many people, Zhu Youzhen also felt embarrassed, so he had to divert the topic and introduce the renovation project of Changchun Garden to the women.
It turned out that as early as last autumn, the Tartars had just retreated, and Zhu Youzhen began to renovate Changchun Garden. However, he is not building a palace, but to transform this place into a scientific experiment base.
The purpose of this was that he did not want to put many important scientific experiments in the Jingshi City, after all, there were many people there, and on the other hand, he would be regarded as "deviant" by old-fashioned officials and obstructed them; On the other hand, secrecy was also difficult, and he didn't want the Manchu or other spies to steal these cutting-edge contemporary technologies.
Second, Zhu Youzhen should improve the treatment and living conditions of scientific research personnel, so that they can devote themselves to research and development. Changchun Garden is a royal garden, and the conditions are naturally not to be said; Zhu Youzhen is also not interested in monopolizing the beautiful scenery by himself, which is a great waste of resources for him.
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen ordered a drastic reconstruction of Changchun Garden, in addition to retaining the two lakes before and after and part of the palace, most of the flat land was opened up as farmland, as a crop breeding base and experimental field; A number of new buildings have also been built along the lake for scientific researchers to live in or to recuperate.
Song Yingxing was one of the first batch of scientific researchers to move in, because of the urgency of the counterinsurgency war, all the steel was transferred to the military factory, and the railway project was forced to be temporarily suspended.
As for the glass greenhouse, Zhu Youzhen was inspired by the "plastic greenhouse" in his previous life. In the previous life, plastic greenhouses were widely used in agricultural planting, especially in the north where the temperature was low, basically there were greenhouses in every village, and the economic benefits were much higher than that of ordinary cultivated land. Now that we are in the "Xiaoice River" period, the effect of greenhouses is definitely more significant.
But in this day and space, there is no technology for oil extraction and refining, let alone plastics. Zhu Youzhen had to use glass instead of plastic, and in his previous life, the cost of glass was much higher than plastic, so glass greenhouses were much less than plastic greenhouses. But glass greenhouses also have advantages, such as being more durable and more transparent than plastic greenhouses.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Youzhen resolutely decided to promote glass greenhouses. Of course, this requires a long process, and the cost must be high at the beginning, but the cost will slowly decrease later, and the long-term rate is still very high. When chatting with Anna just now, Zhu Youzhen learned that the Netherlands already has a glass greenhouse, which strengthened his confidence in promoting glass greenhouses.
It was almost dusk, and Herzhe had prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone. During this period, in order to be the general manager, Herzhe did her best, in addition to arranging the work and life of scientific research personnel in accordance with Zhu Youzhen's will, in order to cope with the biggest problem of food shortage, she often went hunting in the mountains outside with the officers and soldiers stationed in the park.
When it comes to hunting, Herzhe is an expert. The East China Sea Jurchen made a living by fishing and hunting, she was just over a year old, her father and the clansmen took her into the mountains to hunt, since she was a child, she had been trained to be an excellent hunter. Although the officers and soldiers of the five military camps were all first-class soldiers, they did not know how to hunt at first, and could only use bows and arrows and birds. Wild animals are much more vigilant than humans, and they can flee faster, and the warriors shoot indiscriminately and harvest very little prey.
Herzhe told them that different animals should be hunted differently. For example, to catch birds, use a dipping net; hunting dogs for rabbits and pheasants; To catch deer, use a trap; To catch a snake, use bait. To deal with large and ferocious animals, such as wild boars, bears, leopards and tigers, you have to use more complex tools such as traps. Of course, accurate and decisive shooting is also essential.
At today's dinner, there are wild chickens, wild boars, hares and other wild foods that have just been raised, and they are the traditional method of the East China Sea Jurchen: roasted directly on the fire, which tastes unique, and makes Anna, who is accustomed to eating refined food from European aristocratic families, amazed.
Rui'er Chen Yuanyuan and others, who prefer vegetarian food, prefer greenhouse-grown New World ingredients, and others also find these foods so fresh that boiled corn and fried potatoes and old vinegared peanuts have become the most popular dishes at banquets. Zhu Youzhen was used to eating these things in his previous life, and he didn't feel sorry when he saw this.
But before she finished eating, the red lady hurried over. During the time when Zhu Youzhen was stationed in Changchun Garden, she needed to go back and forth between Beijing and Changchun Garden every day, and sent urgent flying pigeon books in time, mainly military information. As for the Cabinet Bill, it is presented by the Cabinet Minister on duty once a day in the morning. If Zhu Youzhen wants to summon any minister, he can also send a decree at any time.
As soon as the military situation arrived, Zhu Youzhen didn't have the heart to eat. He let the red lady sit at the table, everyone continued to feast, and he came to the "study" Qingxi Book House, which specializes in handling government affairs, and read the books in turn.
The first is the recital of the new supervisor Zhou Yanru. After being away from Beijing for so many days, Zhou Yanru has only arrived in Jingcheng now, and plans to enter Shaanxi by way of Shanxi. According to his way of walking, I am afraid that he will not be able to reach Xi'an for a month.
Zhou Yanru first reported on the situation of the thieves in Shaanxi. Due to the focus of the official army on defending Tongguan and Xi'an, Li Zicheng's army did not dare to attack Tongguan from the east, but crossed the Bear's Ear Mountain from Lushi County, and after a brief meeting with Zhang Xianzhong in Luonan, it penetrated northward from the gap between Tongguan and Xi'an, and captured Pucheng Baishui and other prefectures and counties in Tongzhou, and had entered northern Shaanxi.
After the enemy, the enemy hated the war, and the feather side of the war
Zhang Xianzhong's "Great Western Army" was still entrenched in southern Shaanxi, recruiting troops and preparing to attack Hanzhong.
"Hanzhong Jianmen, Shu Road, Mianyang... Zhang Xianzhong still wants to enter Sichuan! Zhu Youzhen muttered to himself while comparing himself to the map. His gaze stayed in the area of Jianmen Pass for a long time, he bit his lips purple, and finally slammed his fist on the map, "I had to lose the car to protect the handsome, Jianmen Shu Dao, destroy it!" ”
