Chapter 300: The King of Technology

The two queens were worried about the personal safety of Yan Tienan and Tang Tiantian, but Zhu Jian felt that it was nothing, the two women's martial arts were powerful, especially Tang Tiantian, who was a bit BT, and her gentle and sweet appearance confused many people, and the person who wanted to fight her idea didn't know how to die, she was simply a BT-level cold-blooded killer.

Yan Tienan's wisdom and calmness beyond ordinary people, Tang Tiantian's ruthlessness and extremely powerful skills, it is simply a perfect pair, coupled with the identity of the princess and the relationship with the major noble families, he is really not worried at all.

After the children of the boy camp were confiscated, Yan Tienan actually remembered that after Lu Zhangwang and other families were confiscated, the property was confiscated, but a small half of it was charged into the treasury, and most of it flowed into his small treasury, which made him very happy, and what made him happiest was Yan Tienan's treatment of the confiscated fields and displaced people.

There are a total of eight local tyrants who took the lead in making trouble, violently resisting taxes and being raided, there are nearly 100,000 hectares of land alone, and nearly 5,000 displaced people who have not been registered and naturalized.

This way of dealing with it is the most correct, and it is also what Zhu Jian wants to do the most, a large amount of land is in the hands of the landlords, the gentry and the powerful, and there are a large number of homeless people who have not registered for naturalization, not to mention that the population cannot be accurately counted, and there are still certain hidden dangers.

There is no real stability within the empire, the innovation is in the period of alternating between the old and the new, the people's food and clothing have not yet been solved, and the Jin army outside the border is looking at the delay, he now does not dare to liquidate these gentry and heroes, clean up the land, and liberate a large number of laborers, so he can only take a small step and take it slowly, and it is still the development of people's livelihood and science and technology industry before the task.

Yan Tienan's ability is undoubted, but he is still too young, his experience is not enough, and he still needs a certain amount of time to temper, but Zhu Jian still decided to give her more power, it is not possible to promote the official position, the qualifications are too shallow, it is difficult to convince the public, and it is very likely to cause the dissatisfaction of many officers, but it is still feasible to give her a special official position of acting inspector.

Acting patrol, as the name suggests, is to inspect on behalf of the Son of Heaven, the function is similar to the Son of Heaven's hand-picked ministers, inspectors, this appointment is a bit hasty and capricious, if the Donglin Party is still there, he will be scolded to the blood, the body is incomplete, but the Donglin Party is a thing of the past, the power of the dynasty is now controlled by the imperial party and Ruan Dacheng's Jiangnan faction, Ruan Dacheng wants to sit firmly in his cabinet position as the first assistant to have to cooperate obediently, without the constraints of the Donglin Party, Zhu Jian is now getting stronger and stronger, and it is not too much to say that it is an independent dynasty.

In just a few months, Zhu Jian and the ministers couldn't help but grin at the tax data reported by various localities, and the people really had countless trenches, according to this momentum, at most three or five years, the treasury would inevitably be full, and there would be no more headaches due to lack of finance, and all kinds of new policy measures would be compressed or postponed due to insufficient financial resources, and even had to be temporarily canceled and considered later.

During the recuperation period of the Ming Empire, Huang Taiji launched two more attacks on the border of Liaodong, the soldiers of the nine sides fought bloodily, firmly held the city and the fort without losing, so that the Jin army suffered heavy losses, seeing that winter was coming, Huang Taiji had to choose to retreat, and the border pass rarely obtained a short period of peace.

Repeated defeats on the border, unable to grab anything, coupled with the border gate strengthened the inventory, strictly prohibiting the flow of grain, iron ore and other military materials out of the border, the life of the clan outside the border is a little sad, Huang Taiji had to temporarily sting, first through the long cold winter and then find another way.

The tribes inhabiting the prairie have complaints, thinking that they will live better than before when they take refuge in the powerful Dajin, but it backfires, and the days are harder than before, not to mention, because the Ming Dynasty sealed the border, the lack of materials, and the elusive wolf thief group attacked everywhere, Lu Hongniang's Phoenix Legion and Li Xin's Shenji Battalion went out of the customs from time to time for actual combat training, and all the tribes of the grassland did not dare to approach the border pass of the Ming Dynasty to live and graze, so they could only move to the depths of the grassland. A serious outbreak of war between tribes, not to mention the casualties of many people, the material losses are more serious, and the more difficult life becomes.

This is an excellent opportunity for the Ming Empire to seize the time to recuperate, the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau takes advantage of the contradictions between the various tribes in the grassland, cuts the dirt and blames the trouble, and pulls over the division, in short, everything is used, and the more chaotic the prairie, the better.

The tribes on the Horqin prairie are chaotic into a pot of porridge, and the Ming Dynasty is recuperating with peace of mind, and in a blink of an eye, it will enter the winter, the snow is flying, and the sky and the earth are white.

Zhu Jian is still busy as a dog every day, not to mention dealing with national affairs, and he has to take time to run the boy boy camp, the Royal Academy, the Royal Military Academy and other places, to give the children and students all kinds of advanced things, all kinds of brainwashing, and he has to run the Imperial Institute of Science and Technology, open the golden finger, open a new skylight for the imperial scientific research elites, and guide the correct direction of research.

At noon today, after lunch, Zhu Jian went to the Imperial Scientific Research Institute, where he squatted to watch the scientific research elites tinkering with the first experimental small steam engine of the Ming Dynasty.

The working principle of the steam engine is nothing more than to convert the thermal energy of the fuel into mechanical energy, and the thermal energy after the combustion of the fuel is turned into high temperature and high pressure water vapor through the boiler, and the water vapor enters the cylinder to promote the piston to move up and down, and then the piston moves up and down into the circular motion of the crankshaft through the crank connecting rod mechanism.

The role of the steam engine is not much to say, Zhu Jian opened the hanging, the purpose is to open a new skylight for the scientific research elites of these empires, stimulate their imagination, and carry out various research and development, even if the research has not been used for the time being, but this is accumulation, the more accumulation, the better, the so-called accumulation, science and technology to rejuvenate the country is the current slogan.

In fact, design theories such as copper bullet casings and firing pin guns have long appeared on the design drawings, but they are locked in the important database of the scientific research institute, these designs are still too advanced science and technology for the time being for the Ming Empire, and there are many key details or before the East and East have not been solved, these advanced designs have not been put into practice, but they have opened the door to magical thinking for the scientific research elites.

The arsenal of the Ming Empire is still mainly based on mass production of rear-loading rifle guns, with longer range and higher accuracy rifled guns due to production technology, equipment and other reasons, only a small amount of production, and only the sniper equipment of the hunter battalion, which is currently unique.

It is relatively easy to produce high-lethal melee weapons such as thunderbolts and explosives packs, and they have been in mass production, and they have been sent to front-line troops such as Liaodong in batches, but in Zhu Jian's view, the power of the explosion of black powder in the Ming Dynasty is still too scum, and it is necessary to continue to study and test, and the chemical research team responsible for the study of gunpowder is busy testing picric acid gunpowder in another room.
