Zhu Jianji led his ministers, under the guidance of Lu Chunjing, from two or three hundred positions downstream of the dam, through the wide cement road on the bank of the river, to the bottom of the dam.

The place is heavily guarded.

At this time, it was Jinyiwei.

On weekdays, 300 troops will be transferred in turn to defend the construction of the entire dam, and according to Zhu Jianji's will, when the Guanting Reservoir is completed and put into operation, troops will still be deployed to defend the normal operation of the reservoir.

Especially at the bottom of the dam, there are twelve hour shifts.

Never give anyone a chance to destroy the dam.

Of course, it's not the people of the Ming Dynasty.

It is the meticulous work of the remnants of Annam, the Mongol tribes of Mobei and the Japanese Japanese pirates.

The Annan Li clan was exterminated, and there was a position to retaliate.

And the Mongol tribes have a better position.

As for the Wakos......

Anyway, Zhu Jianji didn't have a good impression of them.

At the bottom of the dam, a huge gate was closed at the moment, and the feeling of heavy steel made the central ministers who followed Zhu Jianji to observe the artifact feel pressured.

Because there were too many people, it was Zhu Jianji who took the central ministers to visit the first batch.

After that, Lu Chunjing led the team and took other courtiers to visit.

Seeing that the great tomorrow was coming, the technicians of the dam hydroelectric power station guarding both sides of the gate, after being exempted from salutation, immediately opened the heavy steel gate with the cooperation of the Jinyi guards.

A chill came over the surface.

Dai Yi hurriedly stepped forward and added a fox fur coat to Zhu Jianji.

And the rest of the ministers also added their garments.

Lu Chunjing made a gesture of please: "Your Majesty, everyone, please!" ”

Zhu Jianji led the people in.

After everyone walked into the gate, they looked at the huge enclosed space in front of them, and they were more and more shocked, they didn't expect that there could be such a large hollow space at the bottom of this dam.

But is the dam still strong?

Lu Chunjing explained with a smile, "This space is actually only a small part of the dam as a whole, and haven't you noticed that this space is actually attached to the main body of the dam, and it is not the internal space of the main body of the dam, that is to say, its existence does not have any hidden dangers to the main body of the dam." ”

The military department Shangshu immediately turned around and walked out of the gate, looked at it carefully before coming back, and said to everyone: "Indeed, as President Lu Chunjing said, the location where we are now is not in the main body of the dam. ”

Zhu Jianji laughed, "That's not the point, that's the point." ”

After speaking, he pointed to a huge water pipe hanging down from the top in the distance, "Maybe the Qing family has guessed, that's right, this water pipe has the same function as the bright artifact in the moat of the imperial city, but the siphon principle used by that system has too high and too high requirements for equipment sealing, so the power system of the imperial city is often paralyzed, and power outages are commonplace." ”

After a pause, "But the equipment here is different!" ”

Seals are also required.

But if the seal is not good, it is a leakage of water, and there is a potential safety hazard.

looked at Lu Chunjing.

Lu Chunjing immediately said to the ministers: "If I remember correctly, all of you Jiuqing's mansions have the bright artifact purchased from Your Majesty back then, in fact, the pipeline you see now, and the huge machine under the pipe, is actually an enlarged bright artifact, its principle is the same as the bright artifact, it uses the rotation of the impeller to drive the copper wire coil around a huge magnet to rotate regularly and steadily, so as to produce continuous, stable, and huge electricity, It will then be delivered to Gyeonggi via an electric power line, and the power station of the government office alone will be able to secure the electric lighting needs of the entire Gyeonggi city. ”

The ministers were lonely when they heard it.

They don't understand.

There were a lot of discussions, but they all said some useless words, and the smarter people simply didn't speak, so as not to fall behind, but it was Dong Fang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Lu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who stood together, with a somewhat angry expression, but the light was not good, and no one found out.

Lv Chunjing continued: "Before because the funds are not in place, so only this one unit was installed, yesterday after His Majesty allocated funds, will be installed in place within three months, at the same time, as long as the chemical group of the Academy of Engineering and Sciences will establish the streamline production of rubber, after the Ministry of Industry is put into operation, the Royal Power Company will be able to lay all the new roads before the end of the year, and carry out network testing, if nothing else, during the Spring Festival, my Ming Gyeonggi will be like the imperial city, become the first city that never sleeps between the universe, still flourishing in Chang'an that year. ”

The city that never sleeps?

Can the entire Forbidden City be like an imperial palace?

Everyone talked about it, and they all felt incredible, because this was something they had never thought of, originally the mansion was open all night long, only the imperial city and the Jiuqing could enjoy it, and it was a symbol of status and status.

I didn't expect the people of Gyeonggi to be able to enjoy it, His Majesty Emperor Gwangan's move is too broad-minded!

Dong Fang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, suddenly asked: "Dare to ask President Lu, how much does the reservoir cost of the Xiuguan Hall, plus this monster-like huge machine, and the machine that will be installed in the future, how much will it cost?" ”

Lu Chunjing smiled, "You have been blessed with Your Majesty's grace before, and Your Majesty is also sympathetic to you, the price of the light artifacts sold to the Jiuqing in limited quantities is only twenty or thirty thousand taels, which is really incrediblely cheap, let's put it this way, the Guanting Reservoir has cost tens of millions of taels of silver, and this Guanting power station has invested millions of taels at present, and then successively completed the unit, and laid the interconnection line, it is estimated that it will cost one or two million silver, Your Majesty in order to let the people of Gyeonggi also enjoy the convenience of the light that never sleeps, it can be said that the price is huge!" ”

Everyone gasped.

In other words, the entire Guanting Reservoir and the Guanting Power Station cost nearly 20 million taels of silver, and this is still the case of a large number of cheap Jiaozhi people.

20 million taels of silver is 20% of the income of the Ming treasury this year.

This price is really expensive.

Is it worth it?

To build Gyeonggi into a city that never sleeps, a face-saving project, so consuming national strength, His Majesty Emperor Gwangan never thought about it, is it cost-effective to work so hard and waste money?

No wonder His Majesty would say something like that before coming to the official hall: It is really a good act!

Sure enough.

Dong Fang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said loudly: "Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty is now hundreds of thousands of lions, and it has been fighting in the south of the Indochina Peninsula, and there are more than 100,000 border troops and 100,000 Jinge group army towns in the north, and the consumption is huge, it is necessary to save money to ensure the smooth operation of the war in the south and the tranquility of the northern border. ”

This is said very politely and unkindly.

Because of the use of the words "labor and money".

And the Guanting power station is operated by Zhu Jianji.

Other words......

Dong Fang was bombarding Zhu Jianji, thinking that he was good and had done such an irrational thing for the sake of face.
