Chapter 441: The Superiority of the Imperial Merchant

Lv Chunjing said: "The Royal Power Company does not have an official establishment, steel and cement, all need to be purchased from the government department, the amount needed before is small, and it is relatively easy to operate, this time to repair the barrage dam, the consumption is huge, Your Majesty, you see ......"

Zhu Jianji was happy, "It's not what it used to be, brother-in-law!" ”

Lv Chunjing: "......"

A little uncomfortable.

As the Son of Heaven, talking to the courtiers so inseparably, Lu Chunjing is full of poetry and books, and he really hasn't seen a few Sons of Heaven like his brother-in-law, and he was suddenly surprised.

Father Lu Yuan's evaluation was right.

His Majesty is a contradictory man who can never be fathomed.

There seem to be two personalities in him.

Zhu Jianji doesn't care about other people's opinions, he hasn't hidden his two personalities for so many years, even if he tells the world that I, Zhu Jianji, am from the next generation, no one will believe it.

And with his identity, no one can help him.

continued: "Cement and steel, it is not a matter to buy from the government department all the time, after all, we are doing business, the primary purpose is to make money, and buying will lead to an increase in costs, so you can prepare after you go down, recruit a little manpower, choose a good address, and the Royal Power Company will set up two subordinate companies, a cement plant and a steel plant." ”

We are royal merchants.

It is necessary to make full use of the advantages of the imperial merchants, and the technology of cement production and steel smelting, the decree of the Son of Heaven is that the Ministry of Industry will not give it.

Don't forget that Hang Min, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is still the uncle of the country.

Lu Chunjing spread his hands, "No money!" ”

Zhu Jianji crossed his hands on his waist: "It's not bad for money!" ”

Lu Chunjing smiled but did not speak.

Zhu Jianji asked Dai Yi, "How much money is in the account of the East Palace?" ”

The inner carrier library is still Lao Zhu's, Zhu Jianji lives in the East Palace, and he doesn't need to be responsible for the expenses of the entire harem, so his enthronement is really just a throne, and his status has been upgraded by a notch.

Dai Yi said: "Your Majesty, there are more than 10 million taels. ”

Although His Majesty has spent a lot of money on the young army in recent years, the Fujian Commercial Bank in charge of Bai Xiu is also an imperial merchant and has a huge advantage in maritime trade.

At present, it is the largest maritime trade firm in Daming.

Well......

The name has been changed a long time ago.

It was changed to Daming Royal Four Seas Foreign Trade Group.

With the name of the imperial merchant, it is easy to make money, so there has been more and more money in the account of the East Palace over the years, and more than 10 million taels is still Dai Yi's conservative statement.

Zhu Jianji said: "Allocate five million taels to Lu Chunjing." He turned to Lu Chunjing and said: "Quickly prepare the address and manpower of the cement plant and the steel plant, and in terms of technology, I will notify the Ministry of Industry, and then you will send someone to the cement base and steel mill of the Ministry of Industry to study." ”

Lu Chunjing said slowly: "But this is a bit of a delay in progress." ”

Zhu Jianji nodded, "Indeed, it's ...... like this."

said to Dai Yi: "Go, go, hurry up and chase Hang Shangshu back." ”

It's better to buy a little first.

After Hang Min was called back, it was inexplicable, Zhu Jianji said this and that, but Hang Min disagreed, saying that the output of the cement base and the steel mill was not large, and it was necessary to ensure the use of Heijing Road, and if it was sold to the Royal Power Company, the road would be overstretched.

No matter whether Zhu Jianji is soft and hard, Hang Min just won't let go.

It was embarrassing to make Zhu Jianji so embarrassed.

There was no choice but to exchange interests.

He said that as long as the Ministry of Industry sells cement and steel to ensure the early use of the Daming Electric Power Company, the Daming Royal Electric Power Company will be able to lay power lines and install equipment for the whole city of Beijing free of charge in the future.

Hang Min was tempted at that time.

This actually has little to do with him personally, it is mainly a matter of rules, and the demand for Heijing Road is really great.

He groaned and said that this matter should be agreed upon at the small court meeting.

Zhu Jianji bowed.

knew that Hang Min didn't want to be poked by a full house of civil and military forces.

So I decided angrily, and tomorrow the small court will discuss the matter.

However, Hang Min had no objection to the Royal Power Company sending people to learn cement production and steelmaking technology, and asked Lu Chunjing to organize people as soon as possible, and after the preparations were completed, he went directly to the Ministry of Industry to find him.

Immediately, Hang Min said weakly, "Your Majesty, steelmaking and cement are both national strategic materials, and if your power company is to be established, should it be discussed at the Xiaochao Association?" ”

Imperial merchants are also merchants.

As soon as this precedent is set, the officials below will go up and down, and the rules will be disrupted.

Zhu Jianji waved his hand angrily, "I know, let's go." ”

Call your uncle to come back and discuss.

You're here to block me!

After Hang Min saluted, he crossed his hands behind his back and walked away with a smile.

Very happy.

In fact, if Zhu Jianji gave an order directly, he could only accept it, but His Majesty did not, but discussed it with him, which means that Emperor Guang'an of the Ming Dynasty is not a dictator.

Such an emperor is a blessing for the family and the country.

After Hang Min left, Zhu Jianji said to Lu Chunjing: "You don't have to worry about these things, I can solve Jiuqing at the small court meeting tomorrow, and our chips are also very sincere." ”

Lu Chunjing said with a smile: "This is the best, by the way, whether the magnet production base in Leizhou needs to be regularized, scaled, and increased in production, Weichen has a hunch that magnets will be more useful." ”

Zhu Jianji hummed, "Regularization, large-scale can be, production does not need to increase, only need to ensure the use of the Royal Power Company, at present, we have prepared a lot of bright artifacts, and after a while, after the whole city of Beijing is electrified, we will sell it all over the country!" ”

At that time, the customers who will sell will not only be Jiuqing.

As long as you have money, you can buy it.

At that time, a wave of harvest was at least tens of millions of taels - now the economy of Daming is getting better and better, and there are more and more wealthy people in the people, especially in coastal port cities.

I suddenly remembered one thing - to strengthen the control of the place, the telegraph or radio seems to be able to do it, although it is very difficult, but it can be tried.

And to engage in these points, magnets are indeed indispensable.

You can start thinking about it.

Otherwise, if the navy is sent to overseas expeditions in the future, the war report will be received only in the year of the monkey, and it is easy to have a situation where the foreign monarch will not give it, and if the radio is developed, the army can be remotely controlled.

Moreover, the emergence of radio stations, combined with a complete set of supervision system, it is possible to completely solve the hidden dangers of local military generals!

Well, take the time to imagine the principle of the radio.

Then let's do it!

To Lu Chunjing, he said: "The Royal Power Company can start with all its might, prepare to build a barrage dam in Guanting, and use water power to generate electricity." ”

Lu Chunjing, "The problem is solved?" ”

Zhu Jianji, "???? ”

What's the problem?

Lu Chunjing said: "The official hall is a little far from Gyeonggi, is it still a porcelain pipe for the protection of wires along the way?" Moreover, Weichen found through experiments that if a huge hydropower is used to generate electricity, the power generated is too strong, and the bulb will be burned directly. ”

Zhu Jianji was suddenly a headache!

There are also two roadblocks.

Rubber.

Transformer!
