The word royal, according to Zhu Jian's understanding, is the royal family, the royal relatives and relatives, they are all considered a family, these relatives enjoy the benefits of the royal family at the same time, they also have to bear the relevant obligations and responsibilities, and they have the strength to contribute, and they can contribute if they are not strong. Moreover, it's not just that there is no benefit to paying money, but there are also benefits to hanging the title of honorary consultant Shenma, at least you can brush up your reputation.

Furthermore, those nobles are also so-so and so-so people from the imperial party, because the interests of the shipping business have been tied together, not to mention saving help, and it is also appropriate to spend some money to buy the title of honorary adviser Shenma.

Zhu Jian's speed of defeat was too fast, and the gold and silver mountains were not enough for him to squander, and he always lacked silver, so he had to fight these relatives and nobles again, dictated by him, ghostwritten by the gunman, and a letter full of enthusiasm and describing the royal family affection was soon sent to the hands of the kings of Fan, as for what those imperial uncles, brothers, and brothers had ideas, he really didn't think much about it, just send the silver.

Of course, he didn't borrow money this time, but really cashed in the benefits, the letter of appointment of the royal honorary advisor was enclosed in an envelope, and the silver given was yours, although the royal academy had not yet been officially established, but it was definitely not a blank check, and it was a puppy to deceive you.

Zhu Jian didn't want to get started, but for various reasons, he didn't have the time and energy to get it in the short term, he just threw the idea of the business development of a modern bank and many related details to his advisory group to get busy.

The Royal Advisory Group is newly established, similar to today's staff group, helping the proprietor boss to come up with ideas and solve troubles, but the functions of the Royal Advisory Group are extremely extensive, involving many aspects, although there is no real power, but it is definitely a confidant who often wanders around the Son of Heaven.

The head of the royal advisory group is concurrently served by Song Xiance, the imperial military division, and there are two deputy heads in charge of the work, and then the team leader and team members, with a scale of more than 20 people, basically all of whom are poor students who have never met talents, recommended by Song Xiance, Li Jingbai, Li Xin and other members of the imperial party, and can only be hired after relevant assessments.

There are also a few children of families with good backgrounds in the royal advisory group, they are talented and learned, but for some reason they did not enter the office, and some even resigned after entering the office, indulging in the mountains and rivers, Song Xiance spent a lot of saliva to persuade them to enter the advisory group to test the waters, which can be understood as those families are releasing goodwill to the Son of Heaven, or testing the mind of the Son of Heaven.

Song Xiance had a sly smile on his face, and his thumb rubbed lightly on his middle index finger a few times.

Zhu Jian comprehended in his heart, and sold several letters of appointment from the honorary advisors of the Royal Academy to those family members at three times the usual price, this is a lion with his mouth wide open, and the appearance is very ugly, but the heads and elders of those families breathed a sigh of relief, they originally wanted to smash the silver and hold the dragon's legs, but they were afraid that the Son of Heaven did not understand their thoughts, and now they can finally rest assured, the Son of Heaven has a master around him to guide them.

There is black money from various channels, with the enthusiastic support of the emperor's uncles and brothers, and the strong support of the nobles and the families who want to hold the dragon's legs, the funds for the opening of the royal academy will be solved at once, and there are a lot of surpluses, these silvers are not from the Ming Empire, so they are all stored in Zhu Jian's small treasury.

Zhu Jian's plan was to merge the five military battalions and three thousand battalions of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division into the Royal Guards Regiment, which consisted of ten battalions with 500 people each.

Soldiers, of course, are recruited as all peasant children, and after a series of systematic and formal training, they can be put into the battlefield in Liaodong, but there are too few talents available, so they can only draw some high-performing veterans from Lu Hongniang's Phoenix Legion, Li Xin's Shenji Battalion and Cao Bianjiao's Wolf Battalion to serve as grassroots backbones and set up the shelves first.

The Royal Guards Regiment was reorganized on the basis of the five military battalions and the three thousand battalions, and the military expenses came from the imperial treasury, and the excess was all paid by Zhu Jian out of his own pocket, plus brainwashing the soldiers from time to time, properly washing the Royal Guards into a fanatical imperial guard.

While preparing for the reorganization of the Royal Guards, Zhu Jian also issued orders to Lu Hongniang, Li Xin, and Cao Bianjiao respectively, allowing them to expand the army to a strength of 5,000 soldiers.

Speaking of equipment, Zhu Jian, who has always been in the direction of rejuvenating the country through science and technology, of course, kept an eye on the scientific research departments and military workshops of the empire, and now the small and medium-sized steelmaking furnaces have been mass-produced and put into use, and the streamlined production line has not only improved the production efficiency, but also greatly improved the quality of the steel, and the quality of the guns created is also better than before.

With the production and use of various machine tool drilling machines, the production efficiency of guns has also been improved, but Zhu Jian is still not satisfied, continue to increase the investment in scientific research departments, rifled guns are currently one of the main research directions, I believe that it will not take much time, those scientific research elites will bring him surprising good news.

In addition to scientific research and military research, people's livelihood is also a top priority, how to let the people have something to eat in the era of natural and man-made disasters, so as not to rebel against him, he is also racking his brains to find a way, building roads, bridges, water conservancy and other projects for the benefit of the people are slowly being implemented, a large number of potato sprouts have been planted, the growth is quite good, and a bumper harvest will be available in a few months.

God also gave face, there were a few heavy rains, some areas with serious drought were alleviated, the people were simple, they had hope in their hearts, and they would not leave their hometowns to flee the famine and beg, and follow Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others to kill officials and make his Zhu family rebel.

The most gratifying thing is that the uprising was quickly defeated, and the situation in Shaanxi and other hard-hit areas was within a controllable range, and it was not beaten to pieces like the original time and space, and it spread to the whole empire, causing a series of vicious reactions.

Zhu Jian was very busy, so busy that he lacked skills, but even if he was busy dying, he didn't dare to forget the major events of people's livelihood, and when the royal academy was in an uproar, boxes and boxes of printed pamphlets were quietly distributed to the top hands of the state capitals, counties and towns in various places, and then they were distributed to the towns and villages, and the literate people explained to the people.

The booklet is printed with some content related to aquaculture, which is similar to the booklet for Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, except that one is marine aquaculture and the other is freshwater aquaculture.

Modern rural areas are engaged in three-dimensional aquaculture, which has improved the economic income of the common people to a certain extent, and the pig lodge is built on the pond, and the pig eats the pig and falls into the pond, which happens to be used as food for fish.

The function of pond water storage is for irrigation, and at the same time can also raise fish, fish are not casually stocked, divided into upper, middle and lower water fish, such as silver carp and other fish in the upper waters of aquatic weeds, plankton for food, herring, grass carp like to live in the middle and lower waters, carp and other lower waters, all aspects of the waters are taken into account, this is the scientific fish farming method that has been demonstrated.

Next to the pond, you can build a fence to raise some chickens and ducks, and the manure can be used as fertilizer for crops, which is natural and green, environmentally friendly and increases income. Of course, the poor people can not afford to play this three-dimensional breeding method, only the rich landlords can afford to play, although it is to teach them to make a fortune, but fish, chickens and ducks or something more, the price is naturally cheap.

The real method suitable for the poor people is to raise fish in rice fields and fish cages, fish eat insects in rice fields, and manure is turned into fertilizer in rice fields, each with its own benefits, and the common people can also eat some fish and meat while farming, even if they don't save and don't eat, they can also take it to the market to sell, in exchange for copper money and silver to buy other things.

Cage fish farming can be woven into a box with bamboo branch skin, put on the self-woven fish net, you can also have several joint ventures, contribute people, harvest when a few are evenly divided OK, in order to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, Zhu Jian is really very troubled, but also heartbroken.

In the blink of an eye, winter is coming.
