When the offensive and defensive battle of Jinzhou Jiancheng was raging, Zhu Jian was squatting on the snow, holding a steamed bun in one hand and a porcelain bowl in the other, which was filled with steaming and fragrant mutton bone soup, smiling and chatting with a group of scientific research elites sitting around him.

Yes, you read that right, the dignified Son of Heaven is really like this, without a little bit of the majesty of the Son of Heaven and the spirit of the Eight Kings who reign over the world, it is really cordial and down-to-earth, and it has won the respect of all scientific research elites.

Zhu Jian is crazy with a golden finger, desperately promoting the development of science and technology, but having a golden finger is not omnipotent, he is a liberal arts student, studying history, mathematics, physics and chemistry is not very strong, just know some relevant theoretical knowledge, the specific details of the operation can not be played, can only open a magical skylight for the scientific research elites, point them out a correct direction, specific experimental operations can only be handed over to these scientific research elites to achieve.

Considering the instability of picric acid gunpowder, the cost of transportation and other reasons, the arsenal of the Beijing division produced picric acid gunpowder, and some scientific research elites were transferred to Liaodong to assist and supervise the production of picric acid gunpowder by the arsenal there, which saved transportation costs and also reduced the risk of accidental explosion caused by improper transportation.

The internal worries of the Ming Dynasty have now been eliminated, only about the big foreign enemy of the external race, Liaodong is the front line, and it is normal and convenient to mass-produce weapons and ammunition there.

More advanced machine tools, drilling machines and other important things have also come out, may be mass production of simple rifled guns, but it is still purely manual operation, the most advanced is only hydrodynamic, the output is still low, copper cartridge shells and firing pin guns have also been put on the agenda, scientific research elites are working hard to develop, it is estimated that it will take some time.

But Zhu Jian couldn't wait any longer, just now, he put the novelty of electricity on the table, and opened a magical skylight for the scientific research elites of the empire.

Like thermal power generation, Zhu Jian still knows the general working principle, first of all, he has to have three major equipment: boiler, steam turbine and generator, and the chemical energy of coal burning is converted into steam energy, then converted into the kinetic energy of steam turbine, and finally converted into electric energy of generator. He also knows the simplest working principle of the generator, the coil does the cutting of the magnetic field line movement, the coil generates voltage, the coil circuit is closed, and the current is generated.

But theory is theory, the relevant details of the operation or something really can't, there is only so much he can do, the rest is up to the scientific research elite to explore, of course, the various uses of electricity are so many that the toes are too many to count, and there are some hazards and preventive measures are also said, in case he accidentally electrocutes the research elite, he will be in pain.

The elites of the scientific research institute, as well as Wang Chengen and Song Xiance who accompanied him, are used to seeing it, the emperor is almost omniscient, the gods can no longer be gods, they are the gods sent down by the heavens to save the Ming Dynasty, some unexplained Dongdong, the ancients will associate with that aspect, the Son of Heaven is originally the Ninety-Five Supreme, the incarnation of the dragon.

Zhu Jian stayed in the scientific research institute until the evening before returning to the palace, although he was the shopkeeper, and many things were left to Song Xiance and a group of henchmen to deal with, but he was still busy as a dog, and there were too many big facts to deal with, no, the Royal Bank will open tomorrow, and there are still many details to deal with, not only he has to work overtime, but even those bigwigs and nobles in the court stay in the palace to work overtime.

The Royal Bank has been preparing for a while, the bank building has already been renovated, and the standard three-story reinforced concrete ocean building was designed by Zhu Jian himself, and he was also present to supervise and guide the construction process.

The Western-style western-style western-style building of the Royal Bank is a unique scenery in the Jingshi City, which has caused a sensation in the whole city, and many people have come to watch the excitement, all kinds of discussions, criticisms, and opinions.

After the renovation was completed, the signboard of the Royal Bank was also hung out early for people to see, plus the professional trustees intentionally or unintentionally spread the news, newspaper publicity, etc., not to mention the entire capital, even the entire Ming Dynasty knew that there was such a thing, and it once became the headline of the Daming hot discussion list.

In fact, some important cities around the country have built branches of the Royal Bank, such as Liaodong such a border town, the branch has to undertake the border army's military expenses and military salaries and other payment business, but also built three branches in one go, are also three-storey western-style buildings, also caused a sensation in the local area, some rich families like this Western-style building, also with the cottage imitation building, the cement produced by cement factories in various places is in short supply, workers have to work overtime to catch up.

In short, the sales volume of cement was so good that the shareholders who held the shares of the cement plant were so happy that they could not close their mouths, and once wrote to suggest that Zhu Jian build more cement plants, but Zhu Jian flatly refused.

At present, cement and steel are still luxuries, the poor can't afford to use them, the houses built with cement are all moats, fashionable and show status, the family did not build a small reinforced concrete western-style building, you are embarrassed to say that you have money and status, the moat is so capricious, Zhu Jian accurately grasps the psychology of these moats, and plays hunger marketing, which is scarce and expensive, and the most important thing is to make money from the moat.

Some people think that the emperor is safe and reliable in opening a bank, and he is not afraid of closing down, and the money is stored in it at ease, because the royal bank represents the face and credibility of the heavenly family. Abdicate early to make way for Xian.

No matter what the East and the East, some people support it and some people oppose it, some people think that the Son of Heaven is competing with the people for profit, and most of the people who oppose it are the middle class, although the vast majority of them do not open a bank, but who dares to guarantee that the emperor only opens a bank and does not do other business? In short, the pressure is high.

However, it is useless to oppose it, if the Donglin Party still controls the court, Zhu Jian will be scolded to the point that he will be spurted with blood, his body is incomplete, and all kinds of spitting and death advice will force him to compromise, but the Donglin Party has been wiped out by Zhu Jian, and there is no constraint, the officials and nobles of the DPRK and China are all shareholders of the Royal Bank, who dares to cut off their financial routes, and guarantee that they will be invited to the edict of Jinyiwei to drink tea on trumped-up charges, and drink until you doubt your life.

The night was already very deep, but a certain palace in the palace was still brightly lit, and bursts of laughter were heard from time to time, and all the court bigwigs seemed to be as excited as chicken blood, and they all seemed to have excess energy and did not have the slightest tiredness.

The operation of the money bank is to save money to lend or invest, earn interest profits, the money is not strong enough to have the risk of bankruptcy, the private money bank is basically a few or more than a dozen wealthy family joint ventures, common wealth, such as the royal bank this semi-official and semi-private bank, the shareholders are the most powerful and wealthy group of people in the Ming Dynasty, and the royal golden signboard, there is no risk of bankruptcy, steady profit and no loss, tomorrow will open a big business, as a shareholder of the investment, who is not happy? In this world, no one will be afraid of money.

Moreover, although the emperor has raised a lot of salaries for all officials according to their official ranks, which has increased several times compared with before, he has also carried out strict investigations on corruption, and dealt with one by one.

These bigwigs tossed in the palace for most of the night, and only went home at dawn, closed their eyes and rested a little, got up to shower and change clothes, and went to attend the opening ceremony of the Royal Bank after breakfast.

There were a lot of people near the Royal Bank, and the Zhige armor soldiers surrounded layer after layer, surrounded the Son of Heaven and the civil and military officials in the middle, crackling firecrackers sounded, Zhu Jian cut the red silk ribbon with gold scissors, and in the warm applause, the Royal Bank officially opened.
