"The Father! Do you want to check the previous ones?" The crown prince asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Don't, if you really were the equipment left by his grandfather at that time, you wouldn't be able to find out if you checked it like this, are you talking about these things that he later had!" The old emperor said.
"Good father, after Zhu Lei got the original equipment, he began to rebuild the industrial machine of their factory, and built ten at a time, in the process of building the industrial machine he also used the unique ultra-high hardness alloy materials in their factory, and came up with the idea of using these materials as external armor for armored vehicles, and successfully won the approval of the military, which is also the first product of their factory.
And then I think you also know the emperor, in less than a year after the external armor came out, a lot of new products appeared in his factory, such as gold batteries, electromagnetic railguns, power armor, plasma thrusters and a series of new concept weapons and ideas, as well as several new metallurgical formulas in their factory.
After our detailed investigation, we determined that most of these new products, new formulas and new ideas have his shadow, especially the electromagnetic railgun, gold essence battery and those new metallurgical formulas, which were fundamentally invented by him, because these things have not appeared in the world before.
In addition to these products that have come out, their factory is still carrying out several secret scientific research experiments, and data recommendations, these experiments and data speculation have not yet been out of the laboratory, so we can't know yet, but there is no doubt that these scientific research projects and data speculation are of extraordinary significance to our Ming Empire. The crown prince replied.
"Hmmm! Emperor, you have investigated very carefully, you must pay attention to Zhu Lei's fief and factory, especially his personal safety, our royal family has finally appeared a person who picks the beam, Da Ming finally came out with a scientific and technological genius, I don't want him to die halfway.
There is also those domestic aerospace related manufacturers must fully cooperate, our Ming Empire's aerospace project, if someone drags behind, then don't be polite, no matter who it is.
For those families who want to fight Zhu Lei's idea, you can also warn you, Zhu Lei is not something they can move, if you don't listen, then don't be polite, this is no longer a family business, but has risen to the entire human race and our entire nation, so Zhu Lei must not have any mistakes. After listening to the crown prince's words, the old emperor thought for a while and instructed the crown prince.
"Okay! Father," replied the crown prince.
"Emperor! Zhu Lei doesn't seem to have the qualifications to operate civilian products! The old emperor thought for a moment and suddenly replied.
"Yes! Father! They do not have the qualifications to operate civilian products, especially in heavy industry, except for the royal family, all the royal families do not operate all the products closely related to the people's livelihood, and most of the other royal families are engaged in luxury jewelry and arms sales industry, only a small part of the production of some manufacturers that have little to do with the people's livelihood, this is because in the entire Ming Dynasty, only the royal family has the right to operate luxury jewelry and arms materials.
This is an agreement signed with the cabinet just after the implementation of the virtual monarchy, and even some provisions are written in the constitution of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the military industry, except for this military factory in Zhu Lei's fiefdom, the other royal families are not qualified for military production. Even the royal family's military factories are only qualified to produce light weapons, not heavy weapons. The crown prince replied.
In fact, these old emperors themselves are very clear, but he casually asked the crown prince.
"Then the emperor, I think that many of the products in Zhu Lei's factory have great value in civilian use, but because he is not qualified to operate and produce civilian products, these products are not used for anything other than military use.
And he is now beginning to develop in the high-end direction of aerospace, so the funds needed in the future are also very much, even astronomical is not an exaggeration, even if a medium-sized country wants to develop aerospace, it often needs to devote the whole country's efforts, it can be said that the direction he chose is a bottomless pit, and it needs to continue to invest huge amounts of money to develop.
Even if his ancestors left more wealth, it would not be enough for him to fill it, and the little orders from the military now have nothing to do with the overall situation, after all, these projects are too expensive, even if there is a government grant.
So the emperor, I want you to discuss with the cabinet to see if you can give him the right to produce and operate civilian products, if it really can't work, there will be our royal family to take the lead and Zhu Lei and various domestic families and nobles to create a new company.
All the products with civilian value produced by Zhu Lei's factory must be purchased from this company, and Zhu Lei must have an absolute controlling stake in this company.
After all, the money earned by the company was used to finance his development in the aerospace industry, and the new company was run by both the royal family and the cabinet. The old emperor thought for a while and then said to the crown prince.
"Okay! Father, can the cabinet agree to this? The crown prince said with some doubts.
"It is very difficult to directly give the power of production and operation, after all, the Ming Constitution is there, but it is very likely that the cabinet will agree to the establishment of a new company and everyone." The old emperor said.
"Okay! Father, do you have any other orders? If not, I'll go down first. Seeing that the old emperor had stopped talking after speaking, he asked.
The old emperor waved his hand and said, "No, you go down!" Don't forget what I told you. ”
At the same time, the same meeting was going on in the cabinet of the Ming Empire, but the cabinet of the meeting was much the same, and they were more concerned about Zhu Lei's security, and they also issued notices to various families in the country, including the royal family.
After the crown prince and the old emperor finished discussing, they immediately walked towards the cabinet building after leaving the Forbidden City.
When he came to the Cabinet Building, the Cabinet meeting had just ended, and the crown prince saw that the cabinet personnel were all there, and knew that they must have just finished the meeting, and he could guess the content.
At that moment, he told the cabinet about what he had discussed with the old emperor. He first helped Zhu Lei ask for the right to produce and sell civilian products, but was rejected by the cabinet.
What are you kidding, no one in the cabinet will agree to the crown prince's proposal, because this is a matter of the Ming Constitution, and it is absolutely impossible.
After that, the crown prince threw out a second method, and then these cabinet members were stumped, after all, such a company can no longer be said to be Zhu Lei's personal enterprise, but a joint enterprise between the official and the royal family and the aristocracy, and Zhu Lei just owns the controlling stake in this company, which has perfectly bypassed the original constitution, not to mention that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the company's ability to make money in the future is definitely leveraged.
If they don't let it pass, then today's matter is revealed, and tomorrow they will definitely be pushed down by the crazy nobles and big families. So they didn't give the crown prince an answer right away. Instead, they said that they would discuss it with the ministers, and this matter was too much for him to decide, even if they were cabinet ministers.
