However, he also knows very well that at the moment, it is the Ming Dynasty who is reasoning with the Zhancheng State, if this reason is not clear, the iron lumps of the Ming Dynasty are still outside.

There wasn't much time left for Zhanba's Lai, he looked at Wang Sun and nodded, "Two generals, if we want to send someone to Daming, we need to pass through Annan ......."

"Your Majesty the King, we will stay in Annam temporarily, from Annam to Champang, for our vehicles, it will only be a few days, ten days later, we will wait for you at the border of Annam, I hope that at that time, there will be about 100,000 migrant workers to go to my Daming."

"One hundred thousand?"

"Not bad!" Zhang Fu ignored Zhanba's shock, and said in a slow voice, "Let's go 100,000 in advance, enter my Ming border, and you must not bring any equipment, otherwise you will be killed." But if I am dedicated to building for my Ming, I will treat me as a friend. “

Zhang Fu did not say for the time being that if he worked in Daming for more than three years and was willing to stay in Daming, he would get Daming's household registration. He was worried that the time would prevent the people of Champa from entering the Ming Dynasty to work.

After all, no one in power wants to see their people run out.

The next day, go to Daming to work, three meals a day, there are clothes to wear all year round, and there are five cents a day, and the news of five cents a day will be spread out from the capital of the city, many people are moved, three cents a day, a month is ninety cents, a year, can have more than one or two silver.

In the royal palace of Champang, Sheyang should have just returned from the house of Daban Guabunong, and with him was the imperial doctor who treated Daban Guabunong.

Lai Zheng of Zhanba and several ministers were discussing the requirements put forward by Zhang Fu and others, one is to send laborers to Daming to repair roads, and the other is to plant rubber, these two things seem to be good things for Zhancheng, but they are proposed by other countries, how can the monarchs and ministers of Zhancheng rest assured?

"How? What is the extent of Aban Ghubun's injuries? ”

The physician knelt on the ground, holding a white cloth in both hands, on which was a golden bullet, "Your Majesty, this is something called a bullet that was taken from the body of Taban Ghubnon. ”

She Yang said, "Grandfather, it was my grandson who asked the Ming Army and knew that it was a bullet." They said that it was fortunate that their general's personal guard did not aim their guns at the head of Tabanguabnon, otherwise he would have gone to serve Lord Shiva. ”

Lai took the bullet with a trembling hand, he looked at the light for a long time, not understanding how the bullet had escaped into the human body, and then he handed the bullet to several ministers, let them see it, and asked, "You say, how strong is the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"I heard that the Ming Dynasty only sent 6,000 troops this time, and their general Zhengyi and deputy general each led 3,000 respectively, and they were invincible all the way and occupied Annam. All of Annan's troops were brought by them to Daming to help them build roads. ”

A total of 300,000 troops, how dare they bring it to their own country, what kind of domineering is this?

Even if these 300,000 troops are bare-handed, as long as they dare to rebel, they are still a huge army! Could it be that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not afraid of these rebellions?

She Yang seemed to know what his grandfather was thinking, and he said, "Grandfather, their guns are called submachine guns, and they are very powerful, and they can shoot in bursts all the time, making people unguardable. Their vehicles are called armored vehicles, and they are equipped with artillery with a range of one or two miles, and there are machine guns on them, and the range of the machine guns is even farther than that of submachine guns. ”

The minister, who was holding the bullet, heard this, his hand shook, and the bullet fell to the ground and rolled far away.

The minister trembled and picked up the bullet, and accidentally fell on the ground.

Zhanba's Lai was also in a bad mood, and at this point, it seemed useless to discuss, and he said to his courtiers pitifully, "I hope that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can be merciful and look down on a small country like my Zhancheng." ”

She Yang should have wanted to go to Daming, and he prayed, "Grandfather, let your grandson go to Daming!" Sun Er brought these 100,000 people over, I heard that His Royal Highness the Four Princes of the Ming Dynasty is wise and martial, and he is a very great prince, Sun Er wants to see it, if he can make friends with the four princes, he may be able to bring a glimmer of life and hope to my Zhancheng. ”

At this point, Zhanba's Lai had no choice but to agree, saying, "You prepare gifts well, grandfather will prepare these 100,000 people for you, and set off as soon as possible!" ”

Ten days later, Sheyang should have used ten carriages to carry a lot of gifts, and he rode a bicycle to follow behind the carriage, and behind him, there were a huge number of 100,000 migrant workers, some of whom were eliminated from the army, and were sent to Daming.

Zhang was already the governor of Annam, and he sent people to receive the 100,000 people, according to the plan, these 100,000 people in the city will be sent to the south to build roads, and the road will be built as soon as possible, and the next thing to be repaired is the railroad tracks.

Sheyang should have crossed the border of Annan with 100,000 people of Zhancheng and entered the territory of Daming from Siming Mansion.

The Ming Dynasty is building roads everywhere, and the imperial court has issued an order, if the local road is built, the annual tax can be reduced by fifty percent, so how can there be no road?

The road from Beijing City to Zhigu is a good asphalt road, Zhu Di's car set off from Beijing City, and arrived at the Zhigu warship base in less than a day.

Zhu Gaoxu heard that his father was coming, he rushed down from the warship, he was excited, and after asking for peace, he said, "Dad, my son will accompany you to the warship to go around, my son saw this big guy for the first time, and my son was also shocked. ”

"This, this, all made of iron?" Zhu Di was shocked, his eyes were about to fall, he only heard about wooden ships, when his father Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang were fighting, he had suffered the loss of Chen Youliang's warship.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang won and captured many warships of Chen Youliang's army.

Not to mention the turret on the warship, just that if his father Zhu Yuanzhang had such a warship back then, and crashed into Chen Youliang's wooden ship, he would be able to smash the other party to pieces.

"It's not going to fall into the sea, is it?" Zhu Di, who didn't know who Archimedes was, was inevitably worried.

Zhu Gaoxu laughed, "Dad, isn't this warship just floating on the water right now?" It's just that you haven't gone to the deep sea yet, have you seen it fall? ”

"Reincarnation Paradise"

Zhu Di had already seen his youngest son's ability, and when he heard the second child ridicule himself like this, he kicked at him, "Dog, you have seen two more days than Lao Tzu, and you will go to heaven?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to hide, he was kicked on the ass by his father, he jumped and patted his buttocks, "Dad, my son will accompany you up to take a look, these days, my son is eating on the warship, sleeping on the warship, and he has never gone down." ”

The silt on the shore has been cleared, the steel plate is more than ten zhang away, Zhu Di's boots stepped on the steel plate, steadily, he walked like flying, walked to the side of the warship, the board extended out, to his feet.

He took two steps, turned his head to look at his younger son, and saw that the younger son was talking to the worker, and he decided to wait a while.

Zhu Gaoxian walked over quickly, holding his father's other arm with one hand, and pointing to the northeast with the other, "Dad, the opposite side is North Korea, I heard that the girl in North Korea is very gentle, and my son will take you to North Korea to personally select you?" ”

Zhu Di smiled and kicked at his son, "Where did you learn this nonsense?" Besides, I'll tell your mother to go! ”

"Dad, my son doesn't dare, my son is joking with my father." Zhu Gaoxian jumped out of the way.

"Can you make this joke?" Zhu Di straightened his face, but there was still an endless smile in his eyes.

Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "Didn't my son look at the Li Dynasty of North Korea, and send the girl to Beijing twice in three days, so as to save him trouble?" ”

Zhu Di really couldn't be cheeky and followed his son who was not stingy to say this, pointing to the sea area, "Can you go out and try it?" ”

"Not yet, my son needs to check it out!"

accompanied his father up and down, mainly due to Zhu Gaoxu's introduction, although he came late, more than half a year, but he has already understood the functions and uses of the warship inside and out.

Zhu Gaoxu corresponds to the Yingjun Mansion in Tianfu, I am afraid he is not so familiar, he led Zhu Di to his room on the second floor, so narrow that it is difficult for two people to turn around side by side, but it is a single room.

"Dad, sit down, my son will pour you a glass of water."

Zhu Di didn't want to sit here, so he waved his hand, "Don't be busy, you just live here?" ”

He looked up and down, but he didn't want to be suffocated here.

"Yes, Dad, my son sleeps here every night, listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the side of the boat, and he thinks it sounds so good, and he falls asleep after a while." As he spoke, he turned on an exhaust fan, which made it much more comfortable in the narrow space.

"Dad, don't adapt to it, there's no way, the space of the ship is so big, the powertrain is at the bottom, and there are turrets and the like on top, and there is a bar on the first floor, some leisure places, and there are not many places to live. The one occupied by the son is still a single room, and the other sergeants live in bunk beds. ”

Zhu Di sat down, looked around, met with the sergeant in the ship, and went to the deck.

The sea breeze in the bay is not strong, the cool breeze blows in the habit, and the sound of the waves crashing against the side of the ship and the shore in my ears, mixed with the sizzling sound of the welding gun, still can't soothe Zhu Di's turbulent mood, surging like the huge waves blown by the wind in the sea, like the mountain peaks.

He held on to the side of the ship and couldn't help but think, where is his Ming going and what kind of height will he stand at in this world?

Daming's armored vehicles are rampaging on land, and this ironclad ship will be full of the glory of Daming, crisscrossing the waves, crossing the distant ocean, and reaching a distance he can't imagine.

Zhu Di turned around and saw that the golden sunlight sprinkled a layer of gold dust on the golden dragon flag embroidered with the words "Ming" and "Yongle".

On the deck of the second floor, Zhu Gaoxian swept the warship with his fiery eyes, pointed out several weak points in welding, and the welding craftsmen were so frightened that they were not possessed, Zhu Gaoxian comforted, "Welding is originally a key process, if you have to carry out inspection, you can only be tested through some destructive means, this is not your fault." ”

The craftsmen were a little calmer, and Zhu Gaoxian said, "However, you still have to learn the craft." ”

He called Ma Sanbao again, "Order, the welder's workload shall not exceed four hours a day, and he shall not work with illness, and all the skilled welders who participated in the welding of this warship will have their wages increased by 10%." ”

All the welders knelt down to thank them, and Zhu Gaoxian helped them up one by one, "Welding is a very tiring job, although you have protection when welding, but staring at the fire for a long time, it still hurts your eyes, and we can't do it with machines to weld at the moment, only hard work!" ”

"To do things for the Fourth Highness, Xiaomin is not hard!"

Zhu Gaoxian nodded and said with a smile, "The emperor is here today, I will give you more food in a while, this month's salary will be doubled, and when the other two ships are completed, I will give you half a month's vacation, how about it?" ”

The craftsmen cheered, and one of them said, "Fourth Highness, the half-month vacation is too short, and the little one still wants to go back to see his mother-in-law!" ”

"What do you see? Bring your mother-in-law here and settle down in Zhigu, what's the matter, do you plan to go back to farming in the future? Don't go back, sons of your family, which one is more careful, take him out, and do it for me for the rest of my life, I promise that I won't be able to treat you badly! ”

"Okay!" This man, who was about thirty years old, jumped for joy when he heard this.

Zhu Gaoxian said to Ma Sanbao, "Just around here, pick a good place and let people build more houses." Settle them well. ”

Ma Sanbao now also knows how important it is to be skilled carpenters when making wooden ships, and at present, how important it is to weld welders for this kind of ironclad ship.

"Yes, Your Highness, your subordinates will do it!"

When the craftsmen heard this, their eyes moistened. In Zhu Gaoxian's eyes, they are all skilled workers, but in their own eyes, they are just lowly craftsmen, if Zhu Gaoxian didn't use them, they could only rely on these hands to exchange for cheap grain from Hukou.

Shi farmers and businessmen, in the Ming Dynasty, they are the lowest group.

The man who had just asked Zhu Gaoxian for a long vacation couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, do you want money for the house you gave us, or do you not want money?" ”

Ma Sanbao also wanted to ask this question.

Zhu Gaoxian glanced at these people, "Don't want money?" I want to be beautiful, but if you are willing to sign a contract with the military construction base of Daming for more than 15 years, the house is free to live in, if you work here until you are sixty years old, I will raise you! “

And such a good thing?

Everyone's eyes lit up, looking at Zhu Gaoxian like a god.

Zhu Gaoxian smiled, "Work hard, the future can be expected!" ”

It's so promising! Ma Sanbaoxin said.

He waved his arms, "Do a good job, there are two ships, the work is done, everyone has a holiday, no deduction of wages, you are ready to prepare, move your home, if you don't go home, help build a house!" ”

"Okay!"

The sound was deafening, Zhu Di heard it on the third floor, looked down, saw that his youngest son was in high spirits, and he didn't know what good things he promised.

Zhu Gaoxian smiled, turned around and entered the cabin, he came to the power room, found several power problems, one involved precision size matching, Zhu Gaoxian had to do it himself, after repairing, he asked Ma Sanbao to find this size measurement method, said, "With this measurement method must not be accurate, the size here will be deviated, you go back to recruit craftsmen, I will talk to them about this principle." ”

Ma Sanbao responded and quickly found someone.

The craftsman was honestly afraid, but Zhu Gaoxian didn't see it, and patiently told the person about the measurement method in this place, "You use a rectangular ruler to measure, one side sticks here, and see if there is a fit between the other side and the measured surface?" “

As soon as Zhu Gaoxian said, the craftsman understood, he was like a mouthful, and he was not nervous, his heart was full of joy of learning a hand, he asked a lot of questions by the way, and Zhu Gaoxian was very patient to help him solve his doubts.

After asking, the craftsman remembered that the person in front of him was a prince, not an ordinary person, and suddenly, he was frightened again, and knelt in front of Zhu Gaoxian with a puff, so frightened that he couldn't say a word.

Zhu Gaoxian was also a little stunned, which one is this? Did he say something wrong? Zhu Gaoxian looked at Ma Sanbao blankly.

Ma Sanbao can understand the mood of these little people very well, because he also grew up from a small person, and in front of Zhu Di's father and son, he is also a little person.

Ma Sanbao stepped forward and patted this person on the shoulder, "Don't thank you yet!" “

"The little one thanked His Royal Highness for his guidance, and the little one got carried away and offended the Fourth Highness, and asked His Highness for forgiveness!"

Only then did Zhu Gaoxian come to his senses, and he also patted this person's shoulder, "What's this, you are so studious, it's too late for me to be happy!" This shipbuilding is no better than anything else, if there is negligence, do not know how to pretend to understand, fool around, bury hidden dangers, then it is a bad thing! ”

This person's heart was full of gratitude, he kowtowed three times, and when Zhu Gaoxian walked away, he stood up, looking at the few places where Zhu Gaoxian patiently and carefully taught him, he only felt that his eye sockets were hot, and tears were about to flow out.

He could feel that in the eyes and hearts of the Four Highnesses, they were all the same people, they were human beings, not anything else.

Twelve heavy oil high-pressure boilers, the main engine is a turbine steam engine, the output power is about 150,000 horsepower, in just two years, the main ship can be built, it can only be said that the construction capacity of the Ming Dynasty is too strong.

Ma Sanbao accompanied Zhu Gaoxian to the third floor, Zhu Gaoxian climbed the narrow staircase and said, "This month's salary will be doubled first, and after my father presides over the launching ceremony, you will ask for money to be processed for the craftsmen in front of the civil and military officials and all the craftsmen, and I will make it clear to my father in advance that grace must be gracious." ”

"What kind of grace do you want your father to give? Have you not been gracious enough? Zhu Di walked over, although his tone was full of blame, but his eyebrows were full of smiles, and even when Zhu Gaoxian stepped on the last step, he reached out and pulled his son.

After Ma Sanbao came up, he gave Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu a salute, and then stood aside, he was a very cautious and well-behaved person.

"The son said that during the launching ceremony, my father would give grace to these craftsmen in the warship base and give them bonuses. Wouldn't it be good for the son to pay for it and the father to get the name? ”

Zhu Di's two sword eyebrows were raised, "Do you dislike your father for being poor, and you don't even have the money to give grace to these craftsmen?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian was busy with his legs weak, holding his father's arm and making a gesture to kneel, "Dad, my son didn't mean this, Dad, don't get me wrong." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said on the side, "Dad, my son has no money, if my father has money, give some money to my son." ”

Zhu Di pulled up his youngest son and said to his second son with disgust, "How old are you, you are married, not to mention honoring your Lao Tzu a little bit every year, and asking Lao Tzu for money." What's the use of Lao Tzu raising you this loser? ”

Seeing that the second brother successfully led the flames of war over, Zhu Gaoxian breathed a sigh of relief and discussed with Ma Sanbao, "You go back and apply to the household department, and let the household department set up a special department to manage these craftsmen and rate the craftsmen, but if they reach what level, they will issue certificates." In this way, it can be regarded as a guarantee for these craftsmen, and they will be able to easily find work in the future with this certificate. ”

As soon as Zhu Di heard that this was a serious matter, he pricked up his ears to listen, and Zhu Gaoxian said to his father, "Dad, like the Academy of Sciences, for those special crafts and craftsmanship that are particularly outstanding, my father can ask the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of Industry to issue a special level certificate to this kind of person and enjoy the imperial court allowance." But for all special talents, we must not only give them a way to rise, but also let them be guaranteed, so that their hearts and our Ming will always be together. ”

As the supreme ruler of the country, we must establish a mechanism to protect these talents, so that they can have no worries, so that they can be used by the country and contribute all their light and heat to the development of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di nodded solemnly and instructed Ma Sanbao, "To pass on my will to Tianfu, civil and military officials of the second rank and above have come to Zhigu, and half a month later, I will announce a new national policy here and hold a water test ceremony for this warship, after that, I will take this warship and take the sea route to respond to Tianfu." ”

This will was given too suddenly, Zhu Gaoxian was caught off guard, but his mind turned quickly, from this side, through the Bohai Sea, to the Yellow Sea, all sailing in the coastal waters, and the two escort ships were almost completed, and there was no problem at all to send his father back to Tianfu.

During this season, there are few storms at sea and it is very safe.

Ma Sanbao did not receive the order immediately, but looked at Zhu Gaoxian, and Zhu Di was not angry.

After Zhu Gaoxian nodded, Ma Sanbao received the decree and said, "Yes, the minister obeys the order!" Only then did he go down and arrange for people to send his will to Tianfu.

In order to quickly send the will to Ying Tianfu here, Jin Zhong transported it by car, because the Chi Dao was almost repaired, and the will arrived in five days, which can be bitter for the officials above the second grade on the side of Ying Tianfu, and rushed to Zhigu within ten days, is this a little too difficult?

Fortunately, there were a total of ten cars to send the decree, and Zhu Gaochi arranged several tractors, plus the decree did not say that the prince and the prince of the county would go, so all the civil and military generals who went to Ying Tianfu were second-grade and above, and they could also be arranged.

Half a month has passed, and the other two escort ships have been completed, and the three warships are very crowded in this bay.

Zhu Di has been resting on the warship for the past few days, and Xu has also come, although she is not used to living in such a narrow space, but at night, she is very happy to take a dip on the deck, talk with her husband and two sons, like an ordinary family.

"Dad, when we go back, let's make a U-turn near Kaesong, Dad can look at North Korea from there, and maybe say hello to Li Fangyuan!"

Zhu Di's mood has always been surging, and Zhu Di is very satisfied when he hears his son's words so considerate. He leaned on the railing with his hand and eagerly waited for the arrival of the civil and military officials, who were going to lead his civil and military officials to drive this warship to see the outside world.

On the 14th day of August in the third year of Yongle, there was only one day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all the civil and military officials who came from Yingtianfu were transported to the steel dock of the Zhigu warship base.

"Come down, look at my warship, look at my Ming warship!"

As Zhu Di's voice sounded on the dock through the loudspeaker, the civil and military officials who were summoned to come got down from the car like puppets, they were attracted by the ironclad ship, and couldn't help but run wildly on the dock.

Fortunately, the edge was stopped with iron cables, otherwise these officials who were so excited that they couldn't help themselves would have rushed into the sea to feed Wang Ba.

"This, this is a warship? Made of iron? Xia Yuanji knelt down, touched the board of the warship extending to the dock with both hands, tears welled up in his eyes, he was religious, raised his head, and was already in tears, "This is my Ming warship?" ”

Ru Yu was so excited that he couldn't help himself, he didn't speak, and his tears were like the river that burst the embankment, and after a while, he laughed again, "I have an armored car in Daming, and now I have an ironclad ship, hahaha, I am mighty!" ”

"Da Ming is mighty!"

The generals knelt down at the dock and bowed down to Zhu Di, who was standing on the third floor, "Congratulations to the emperor on having a magic weapon again, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

Zhu Di wore a black gauze winged crown, wore a yellow Tuanlong narrow-sleeved round-necked robe, held the railing with both hands, looked at the civil and military officials below, full of pride, and raised his hand slightly, "Fellow ministers, calm down, this is my Ming Dynasty's magic weapon, today, the warship is testing the water, I have fun with you!" ”

When the civil and military officials got up, Zhu Di paced on the deck, and by the way, calmed down his mood at this time, his voice was a little trembling, "Ladies and gentlemen, this warship under my feet is the first ironclad ship of my Ming Dynasty, with a total length of seventy-five zhang and a width of twelve zhang, with a draft of more than three zhang when fully loaded, and a displacement of up to 50,000 tons. ”

Hearing this, there was a lot of discussion on the dock, and it was impossible not to be shocked by such data, whether it was an insider or a layman.

Zhu Di's voice raised, "The most important thing is that everyone, this warship is all made of steel, I dare to say, this is the first in the world, I want to invite all my ministers to feel the great power of this warship with me!" ”

"This ......" Some people began to be afraid, this is all made of iron, won't he sink?

But Xia Yuanji and the others had already knelt down to thank him, and after Zhu Di leveled him again, he smiled and said, "Let me tell you again, this battleship is loaded with four main guns, eight secondary guns, and thirty-two machine guns, this is the overlord of the sea, and it will be invincible!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu took the opportunity to step forward, he was dressed in armor, knelt down on one knee, and arched his hand, "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to give this battleship a name!" ”

"Please give the emperor a name!"

The civil and military officials were also very eye-catching, and knelt down with them.

Zhu Di laughed, the momentum of the emperor in the world at this moment, like a wave in all directions, the whole bay can hear his laughter, after a long time, I heard Zhu Di say, "I give this warship the name 'Mingwei', Mingwei will be on the sea, raise my Ming national prestige!" ”

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" The civil and military officials were all excited, and their voices trembled slightly!

Zhu Di's eyes fell on the craftsmen kneeling behind the civil and military officials, and he looked at these humble people, "Although this warship has the four princes and the merits of the Ming Imperial Academy, but without you craftsmen, it is difficult for them to achieve it alone, if you talk about merit, you also have great contributions!" ”

"Xiaomin don't dare!"

Ma Sanbao took the opportunity to step forward, "Your Majesty, there are many skilled people among these craftsmen, and I implore the emperor to reward them!" “

Zhu Di nodded, this was originally a rehearsal project, and said, "I have already had this intention, and Sanbao will help you put it forward, which is very good!" I will allocate a portion of the silver from my vault, and all those involved in the battleship project will be rewarded with twelve months' wages. ”

This is the youngest son's idea to help him, Zhu Di didn't know how to reward at first, Zhu Gaoxian said that it is common to give some money and give an extra year's salary as a bonus, Zhu Di did not hesitate to adopt this method.

At this time, the cheers came, Zhu Di was very satisfied, he smiled slightly, looked at the craftsmen grateful, his face was full of smiles, he also felt that today's sunshine seemed to be much brighter, and the breath from the sea breeze was also refreshing.

"In addition, I decided to establish an Academy of Sciences, and Wang Ji, Zhang Ying, Guo Xuan and Zhou Chen, who have made significant contributions to the warship project of the Ming Imperial Academy, will be awarded the title of academician and enjoy the imperial court allowance for life."

This is to give them honor in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, which is not the same as a few people before them, and the emperor's grace is not the same, it is the importance and affirmation of them.

Wang Ji and others knelt on the ground, already in tears, leaving a name in history, and their fame shocked the world, and it was today.

Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "There is no doubt that you have this ability, the four of you and your team are the pillars of my Ming Dynasty." In your team, the list will be reported, the academician is the professor, the professor is the associate professor, and then the teaching assistant lecturer, one level at a time, this will be my Ming scientific research personnel rating system. Rated for researchers who have graduated from the Ming Imperial Academy. ”

This is the national focus.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and Ma Sanbao also took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, your subordinates have an idea!" ”

Zhu Di knew that it was a matter of evaluating the ability of the craftsmen, and he cooperated, "Say, as long as it makes sense, I will agree!" ”

Ma Sanbao looked at the craftsmen who had fallen into the dust, his voice was low, and he said slowly, "My subordinates think that time has passed, and it is not only those scholars and farmers who support my Ming Dynasty today, but also craftsmen, whether it is automobiles, galloping roads, railroad tracks, thermal power plants, armored vehicles or today's warships, they all have their merits, and my subordinates want to ask for a favor for them and ask for the emperor's permission!" ”

All the craftsmen looked up in astonishment, and for a moment there was a light in their eyes, converging into a single ray of light, more dazzling than the most blazing sun.

"Speak!"

Zhu Di looked around, at this moment, even if all the civil and military generals wanted to object, in the face of the warship at Zhu Di's feet, they couldn't say anything against it, they all knew very well that it was the Fourth Highness who stood behind the craftsmen.

"The subordinates asked the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry to jointly issue grade certificates to these craftsmen, one to facilitate management, and the other to stimulate them to strive for excellence and obtain higher grade certificates, which is convenient for employers and agencies, and also for them to have better judgments on their own strength and pursue more outstanding abilities."

In fact, the biggest advantage is to let the imperial court recognize their identity and value.

No one is a fool, and he understands that this is a mutually beneficial thing for the court and the craftsmen.

Zhu Di had to admit that his youngest son was very flexible, and it sounded like he was thinking about the court, but the real benefits also fell on the craftsmen, and he asked Jian Yi and Song Li, "What do you think?" ”

Jian Yi and Song Li glanced at each other, and both of them said, "The minister thinks it's very good!" ”

Who would have thought that in the past, the lowest-class craftsmen also had the time to turn over and become a master, and in the future, with a grade certificate recognized by the imperial court in their hands, they could find a job in the workshops all over the street, and they would be much richer than the farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky?

However, Jian Yi and Song Li had to agree, now the Ming Dynasty needs more craftsmen to do things, people are needed in the workshop, and there are not enough people everywhere, if they oppose it, the emperor and the officials can eat them.

Xia Yuanji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the imperial court needs to restrict artisan households, and if there are ordinary people from Annan or Zhancheng who want to enter my Ming household registration in the future, they can only be farmers, not artisan households." ”

This is to prevent the outflow of Daming's technology, which is the right way.

Zhu Di thought so, "But if someone passes on the skills in his hand to other people, it is not my Ming people, and the three clans will be punished!" ”

The craftsmen are not stupid, they understand the powerful relationship between this, and they are busy saying, "Xiaomin and others don't dare!" ”

Although Zhu Gaoxian felt that there was no need for this at all, because the development of industry is the development of the entire industrial chain, not a certain point of technological innovation, but it is also a good thing that his father and the subjects of the Ming Dynasty can do it without the outflow of technology.

When the water test ceremony arrived, three gun salutes were fired, the ship's planks were set up on the pier, all the civil and military officials boarded the ship, and the car was driven onto the warship and parked smoothly on the deck.

With Zhu Di's order, the main ship slowly sailed away from the dock, the waves rolled, the blue sea was so vast, not far away, North Korea loomed, and several uninhabited islands appeared in everyone's sight.
