Zhu Jianji is ready to go to the Military Research Institute.

Before leaving, he told Wang Yue: "Regarding the ideological and political work of the young army, and the work of establishing the faith of my Ming Xiongshi, it is a long way to go, and it is related to whether my Ming can stand on the top of the world for hundreds of years. ”

Wang Yue received the decree.

Only then did Zhu Jianji leave the Young Army camp and go to the Military Research Institute.

Donggong Military Research Institute, under the influence of Li Gunaha's theft technology, is now more and more heavily defended, and the territory has expanded more than three times, and the Donggong Military Research Institute has spent a lot of money to build a four-sided city wall to enclose the entire Military Research Institute.

Every 300 paces of the quadrangular wall, there is a sentry post.

The young army will send people on duty.

It's almost a city.

Even Jinyiwei directly set up a guard station in the market near the Donggong Military Research Institute, with a total of 1,000 people, who were specifically responsible for the secrecy and security work of the Military Research Institute.

Institutional reform was also carried out within the Donggong Military Research Institute.

Most importantly, accountability is clarified.

In the future, if any technology leaks, once the technology-related production line and design and R&D department are verified, the price paid will be exile at least or beheaded at worst.

There are no light penalties.

For these things, there are not many complaints within the Military Research Institute.

After all, the treatment is very good.

No one has a hard time with money.

In particular, there was one thing that surprised the people of the Donggong Military Research Institute: the will of His Royal Highness the Prince, the descendants of those who worked in the Donggong Military Research Institute, can enjoy extra care when they participate in the imperial examination in the future.

For this reason, Zhu Jianji also asked Shi Xin to set up an official school and establish a medical institute to ensure that the people of the Donggong Military Research Institute could solve most of the things in their lives even if they didn't have to go out of the city.

As a result, many of the staff's family files were also moved into the interior of the Donggong Military Research Institute.

This reduces the turnover of people.

In this situation, the Donggong Military Research Institute gradually formed the prototype of the city.

Zhu Jianji walked on the street of the city of the Donggong Military Research Institute, looked at the bluestone slab on the ground, and said to Shi Xin, who was following him: "Is the cement already in mass production?" ”

Shi Xin replied: "Yes, but the current output is not high, and we need to continue to expand the production equipment." ”

Zhu Jianji asked: "The cement production base is also in the Military Research Institute?" ”

Shi Xin said: "No, although the territory of the Donggong Military Research Institute has expanded several times, there are too many ongoing projects, and the current territory is still a little stretched, and cement is not as important as firearms and steam engines after all, so the cement production base is established in the downstream of the North Canal along the Donggong Military Research Institute." ”

Zhu Jianji hummed, "The cement base is also an important weapon of the country, and its production process cannot be known to foreigners for the time being. ”

Shi Xin was surprised, "The important weapon of the country? ”

Isn't cement just for cultivating official roads, and it is also regarded as an important weapon of the country?

Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "Don't look at it, it seems that it can only be used to build official roads and buildings now, but when we are satisfied with self-sufficiency and the output is saturated, we can sell it to foreign countries, this is money, of course we have to protect it." ”

Unlike Dongfeng firearms, Dongfeng firearms will not be sold at present or even for a long time in the future.

But sooner or later, cement will have to be sold.

Shi Xin was stunned.

Zhu Jianji continued: "Since the cement has begun to be produced, and the construction of Jingguang Road is still in the preliminary survey, the preparations are still starting, and the construction will not start for the time being, and the cement produced will give priority to meeting the needs of the Donggong Military Research Institute. ”

Shi Xin thought for a while, "But at present, the only people who can master the practical methods of cement are the personnel of cement research and development." ”

Zhu Jianji was silent for a while, "The method of use is not a secret, and the construction of official roads requires a large number of technical and practical personnel, so the orphan will inform Hang Min of the Ministry of Industry, and let the official road construction workers recruited by the Road Traffic Department send some young, intelligent and even literate people to come over, and the cement research and development personnel will teach them how to use cement, and use the roadway construction of the Donggong Military Research Institute as an experiment to lay the foundation for the construction of Jingguang Road." ”

Shi Xin smiled, "Your Highness Shengming! ”

It's a really good idea.

Kill more than one stone.

Zhu Jianji said to Shi Xin again: "In addition, let the people of the cement research and development department think about how to use cement and steel to build a barrage dam on the North Canal next to the Donggong Military Research Institute." ”

The steam engine has not yet been developed, and the current power is mainly based on hydropower, and although the North Canal is not suitable for building a power station, it is possible to build a dam or two in a suitable place.

There is a drop of three to five meters, mainly to provide power for hydraulic equipment.

After a pause, "This is also an attempt, once it succeeds and has experience, the Lone Club will have a big move to promote my entire Ming Dynasty to become a city that never sleeps." ”

Dams like the Three Gorges, I don't want to.

But small hydroelectric dams, you can still try, there are no large ones, Lao Tzu used the number to make up, and finally built the entire Ming Dynasty into a heavenly kingdom that never sleeps.

Shi Xin was confused, but he understood something, His Highness was going to forcibly raise a section of the North Canal to power the hydraulic equipment.

Meddlesome!

If this is done, the use of equipment involving hydraulic power in the future can save a lot of trouble in site selection.

Immediately said: "Do you want to hand this matter over to the Road Traffic Division?" ”

Zhu Jianji thought about it, "The suggestion is feasible." ”

It seems that in the next day or two, I have to discuss it with my uncle.

Now Daming is on the road to industrialization.

Responsibilities of the Ministry of Works......

It can be said that it is heavier than the military department!

It's also hard for this uncle, Hang Min has become old visibly in recent years, he is only in his forties, and he already has two temples, but he has no complaints.

This is a qualified relative.

After thinking about it, "In this way, the cement production base will be allocated to the Ministry of Industry, and in the future, it will be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, what can you do?" ”

If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely feel uncomfortable.

After all, one less department has less power.

But Shi Xin didn't care.

A person who can stay in the Qingshui Yamen like the Ordnance Supervisor for many years, how can he care about this, he laughed when he heard this, "That relationship is good, but I am worried that Hang Shangshu will not be happy." ”

The task of the Ministry of Industry is indeed too heavy.

An engineering academy has kept Hang Min so busy that he doesn't touch his heels, and later he jointly established a national military research institute with the Ministry of War, which is even busier......

That's going to be busy.
