Yu Qian suddenly straightened up and saluted: "The old minister risked his death, Your Majesty will only turn twenty-two years old in August this year."

Zhu Jianji was stunned.

What kind of death-defying exhortation is this?

I thought about it for a while before I reacted.

Yu Qian means that he is still very young, there is no need to be so aggressive, before the Ming Dynasty fought on two or even three fronts, it was a last resort, but fortunately, they all won the final victory.

But there is no need for a two-front battle now, and it can be fought steadily.

And he is young.

There is time to conquer Mobei.

And Yu Qian deliberately mentioned that he was twenty-two years old, because in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, when Zhu Qizhen went north to conquer Wara, he was also twenty-two years old......

As the Son of Heaven, it was said that he might become the next Castle Sect, and Yu Qian did risk death to advise.

I didn't get angry.

Good advice can be hard to swallow.

And this is Yu Shaobao's advice.

There was silence for a while, "Yu Shaobao's consideration is also reasonable, my idea is indeed too idealistic, I should slowly figure it out, solve Annan first, and then make every effort to solve the Mongolian tribes in Mobei."

This is to appease Yu Qian.

As a matter of fact...... Zhu Jianji's heart was not shaken, but he didn't want to have a stalemate with Yu Qian, so the matter of fighting on two fronts would be raised after the successful restructuring of the Jinge Group Army.

He said: "Then this matter will be discussed again, but at present, I plan to hand over the restructuring of the Jinge Group Army to Yu Shaobao and Wang Yue in charge, and in March at the latest, the Jinge Group Army will enter the state of combat training, and Yu Shaobao can be confident?" If I am willing to take on this errand, I will order the young army and the regimental camp today."

Yu Qian knelt down to receive the order, "The old minister receives the order!"

Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "Yu Shaobao, I still have various things to discuss with the Ministry of Industry, and the will will be conveyed to the young army and regimental camp later, and I also ask Yu Shaobao to go to Wang Yue to communicate and communicate."

Yu Qian got up, "The old minister retired."

Zhu Jianji said to Dai Yi, "Send Yu Shaobao and invite Hang Shangshu over."

A moment later, Hang Min entered and saluted.

Zhu Jianji got up and personally helped Hang Min up.

Hang Min was flattered.

Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "After all these years of hard work, I still remember that when I was still the prince and needed money, my uncle and grandfather even sold their fields and real estate to support them."

This is the real relative.

Hang Min smiled and said that this was the duty of the minister.

Zhu Jianji did not continue to be hypocritical, and Hang's relatives are not bad now, Zhu Jianji gave Hang's relatives for free when he sold his maritime trade qualifications before opening the sea.

After the opening of the sea, it gave great support to Hang's relatives.

Now Hang's relatives are also among the top local tyrants in the Ming Dynasty, rich and powerful.

Well, the right is not the right of authoritarianism.

Zhu Jianji sat down again and said to Hang Min: "Let's probably talk about the progress of the various projects on the Ministry of Industry, although the expansion of the Ming Dynasty is my wish in this life, but what I care about most is actually the various projects of the Ministry of Industry."

Expansion is the removal of external problems.

The development of industry is the long-term solution, and it is the foundation of China's position at the top of the world.

Hang Min said: "First of all, the steam engine research and development institute that Your Majesty is most concerned about, since the second Taishan Feng Zen last year, Your Majesty asked the household department to increase the project investment and allocation of the steam engine research and development institute, so the progress in the past six months has been remarkable, the problems have been overcome one after another, the principle has formed a set of systems, and borrowed an idle Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy to compile a book on the principles of the steam engine, which is still being compiled, after the book is compiled, it can train more talents for the research and development and production of the steam engine."

Zhu Jianji was surprised, "Who came up with this idea?"

Hang Min said with a smile: "Xiao Kaiyou, a member of the Ministry of Industry, at a regular meeting of the Ministry of Industry, this staff member said that many projects of the Ministry of Industry need talents are overstretched, and the use of projects to cultivate talents is too slow, and it should be cultivated in advance in education, and said that theoretical books can be edited in advance in other projects. If formed

A large number of theoretical books can be promoted to the Guozijian and Fuxue in the future, and can even become a compulsory subject for all subjects."

Zhu Jianji slapped the table suddenly, "This person is good!"

Hang Min said: "At present, the Ministry of Industry has set up a principle group, which is in charge of Xiao Kaiyou, and has assigned personnel to be responsible for the principle research and editing of R&D products and related derivatives of various projects of the Ministry of Industry, but ...... Your Majesty, you know, the Ministry of Industry is already short of manpower, so Wechen also asked His Majesty to issue an order to use some new Jinshi."

Zhu Jianji thought for a while, "The Emperor Taishang is in charge of the officials, you go to the Qianqing Palace to find him later, just say what I said, let him quickly transfer the new branch jinshi to the principle group, at least thirty or fifty jinshi must be prepared to be responsible for this matter, huh...... You can't write a theory book behind closed doors, you have to tell Xiao Kaiyou and others, try your best to find those craftsmen to understand clearly, if you really don't understand, you can also ask me in person...... Spread my will, Xiao Kaiyou can go to the Wenhua Hall to ask for a meeting!"

Suddenly, Xiao Kaiyou went straight to the clouds.

A member of the Ministry of Labor......

In ordinary times, who is qualified to see the Son of Heaven.

Hang Min commanded.

He continued: "The research and development of the steam engine not only solves the theoretical problems, but also solves a lot of process problems, in fact, the research and development of the steam engine involves the most process problems, the most is the performance of the steel demand, in the end, it is the problem of the steelmaking process, and according to our previous experience and His Majesty's instructions, different materials need to be added to the steel with different demand performance, this is the problem of the chemical group, but the progress of the chemical group is worrying."

The chemical team is in charge of Yu Qian's son Yu Kang.

In fact, the chemical industry in this era is really hard to say, but it is just alchemy, and so far, the focus of the chemical group has always been black oil and rubber.

Black Oil Daming also has it, but not much.

Rubber......

I also found it, but the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of the Ministry of Agriculture is still developing planting things, and there is no way to promote it on a large scale, and the utensils needed for chemical industry, such as glass, steel, precision instruments, etc., are still in the initial stage of research and development.

Therefore, the chemical industry group is actually difficult to cook without rice.

This can't be helped, after all, it is necessary to build a complete industrial system involving physics, chemical engineering, mathematics and other aspects from scratch, and these projects affect each other.

The development is very slow, this is the reality, after all, industry does not rely on Yiyin.

It's okay to be slow.

It's better to know that something is better than nothing.

Just when Zhu Jianji thought that it was difficult to achieve results in the research and development of the steam engine in a short period of time, Hang Min's next sentence made him happy, and Hang Min said: "Despite this, the steam engine research and development institute has also continued to overcome problems, and with the cooperation of the steel mill, it is possible to find solutions as much as possible, and at all costs, Weichen estimates that it will take about half a year at most, and the steam engine will be tested."

Problems that arise in the R&D progress, such as a crank connecting rod that requires a certain toughness of steel properties to be forged, are currently unable to make steelmakers with such toughness.

How to fix it?

The pouring method is directly adopted, although the cost is large and the mass production is slow, but after all, it is solved.

Say so and that......

Zhu Jianji smiled like a fool, "Half a year......

Not bad.

Half a year later, once the steam engine came out, it was a glorious moment that shocked the world, and it will mark the Ming Dynasty's entry into the steam age.
