New Caofeidian.

Royal 2nd Shipyard, Conference Room.

Although there is no shortage of ports in Daming, Xinji and Xinhu are two excellent ports, but in terms of geographical superiority and reliability of defense, there is still no place that can compare with the Xinjin-Xincaofeidian area.

This was proved by the U.S. military in later generations, and this is an impenetrable port that can berth more than five aircraft carriers at the same time and is tightly fortified.

Whether it was the Judchi Line on land, or the forts along the coast and on the outlying islands, the Ming Dynasty invested a lot of resources here.

As a result, not only the Royal Navy Headquarters and the Royal Naval University Hall are located here, but the First Royal Shipyard is also located in Xinjin.

And at the end of last year, the second shipyard, which is larger than the first shipyard, was also completed and put into operation on the new Caofeidian Island.

Whether it is a ship or a second ship, their importance is obviously higher than that of royal units such as Xinfeng Royal Watch Factory and Xinfeng Royal Bicycle Factory.

The directors and royal inspectors of the latter two factories have only seven grades of administrative ranks, which is equivalent to the county level.

The factory directors and imperial governors of the first and second ships are as high as the third grade, which is equivalent to the hall level.

It can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to the shipbuilding industry.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that after the publication of the "Ming Emperor's Edict to All Nations", the grades of all officials within the Ming Dynasty have been improved.

Once the "Edict of the Ming Emperor to All Nations" was published, it meant that the Ming Dynasty no longer concealed his identity to the world.

This means that it is also possible that the puppet Qing court will also know about the existence of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Fugui's understanding of the puppet Qing court in the 1860s showed that most of their nerves were about to slow down the world by half a beat, it was only a matter of time before they came back to their senses.

Therefore, whether they are willing or not, sooner or later, the generals of the Ming Dynasty will have to come into contact with the puppet Qing court and be known to the people of the homeland.

At this time, it is not a good thing that the grade of the Ming officials is too low, and it will appear that the court is unkind.

Although the officials inside the Ming Dynasty don't think so, they all know how fragrant the Ming Dynasty's Yulu is, but the officials and people in the homeland of China don't know it!

The Chinese people still like to be officials, and they also have a certain yearning for official residences.

As soon as I heard that all the members of the Ming Dynasty had five or six grades, it would definitely not be conducive to the work of the united front.

Of course, it's too much.

Indiscriminate rewards will also cause the depreciation of officials, giving people the feeling of a grass platform.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a typical example of the opposite.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has a land of 800,000, it is at least equal to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it is also reasonable to appropriately improve the order of officials.

For example, Wang Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is the second product according to the Ming system.

Zuo Lang Geng Junhua is from the second grade.

Therefore, it belongs to the Ministry of Industry, and the order of the leaders of one ship and two ships has reached from three products, which is quite extraordinary.

Of course, Wang Shangshu, who is the second grade, was originally a master who hammered firearms for the Hubei generals, and these high-ranking officials at the deputy department level of the Ming Dynasty were also not from a lofty background.

For example, the royal inspector of the second boat is His Majesty Zhu Fugui's original driver, Jiang Ye, who was born in Jinyiwei, is now just a young man in his early 20s.

After three months of training in the Guozijian cadre class, he parachuted into the Royal No. 2 Shipyard to supervise the production of the factory on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

Although he doesn't know how to produce, Jiang Ye has specially trained the relevant abilities of political work and discipline inspection.

In addition to supervising the integrity of the factory, it is more important for him to directly publicize the benevolence of the Son of Heaven in the factory, train the armed team, and be ready to defend Zhu Dashuai at any time.

At the same time, Jiang Ye also needs to enter the capital every three months, report to the Lord Wansui on relevant work, and accept the latest and highest instructions.

And Jiang Ye's partner, the director of the Royal Second Shipyard, is a technical backbone transferred from a ship, a shipbuilder in his thirties.

And this Master Guo was a carpenter building fishing boats on the shores of Taihu Lake two years ago.

Let's talk about it in general...... Although my Ming ministers are in place, they are still quite down-to-earth.

At this time, several high-ranking officials of the two royal shipyards were listening respectfully to the angelic edict.

"Long live the Lord said a number - 980,000!"

Ito Hirofumi held the document in his hand, stood in front of the leadership team of the first ship and the second shipyard, and said in as standard Chinese as possible: "Before August, the goal of the total population of Daming must exceed 980,000!" Ladies and gentlemen, this is the expectation of long live and the grand plan of the empire! ”

In the end, it is the historical Far East Bismarck, since Ito Hirobumi became a secretary, Zhu Fugui has handled government affairs much easier.

In the previous big reward, Ito Hirobumi finally got a formal establishment like the Yellow Gate Order.

Just as Mrs. Ru is not a lady, and Tongjinshi is not a Jinshi, such as the Yellow Gate Order is also not a Yellow Gate Order.

Otherwise, Zhu Fugui would have to cut off Ito Hirofumi's 3 cm ugly object.

After all, Huangmen Ling was a chamberlain in the palace during the Han Dynasty and a eunuch close to the emperor.

The Yellow Gate Order is only 600 stones, which is equivalent to a petty official of the seventh grade.

But since ancient times, the status of the emperor's close ministers and rivers and lakes is naturally not a direct reflection of the supply level.

For example, after the Yellow Gate ordered Ito Hirobumi to read out the dictation of the Long Live Lord, the four people in the shipyard hurriedly invited him to take a seat in the conference room.

Gu Laoqi, the director of the First Shipyard, is the oldest among the four and the backbone of everyone, and he said cautiously:

"Mr. Ito, there are now three and a half fleets of ships traveling back and forth in the Pacific Ocean, and we will be able to bring back 40,000 people in a month, and in the month of Pull, that will be six months.

Forty-six twenty-four, plus the 300,000 people in the Ming Dynasty today, it is 540,000, and there is still a gap of 440,000.

In my estimation, if we want to fill this gap, we will have to build ten more fleets one after another...... This...... How can this be done? ”

After Director Gu finished speaking, Guo Yun, the director of the second shipyard, also nodded again and again, obviously agreeing with the old director's statement.

"Don't worry!"

Ito Hirofumi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Long live the lord of the world, how can he make the old brothers be that riceless woman?" Long live the Lord has ordered the household department to pay enough money and staff to fill the posts of your two factories, use those idle docks, and greatly expand production capacity! ”

"Oh, I see!"

Gu and Guo hurriedly pinched their fingers and calculated, and then both shook their heads, "No, Mr. Ito, even if you use all the docks enough, you can't meet the needs."

Now the construction of Xinlu is in the ascendant, Xinsu has just been incorporated into the territory, a hundred wastes to be rebuilt, seeing that the new Zhejiang, new Fujian, and new Guangdong are also about to become the land of the Ming Dynasty, these places to build, must build offshore ships.

Counting these orders, there will still be a big gap! ”

Ito Hirofumi shook his head again and said: "It's okay, you don't need to worry about these miscellaneous things, Long Live Lord has already made arrangements, you just need to work hard to do a good job of the order of the water master yamen!" ”
