The early dynasty of the sixth day of the first month ended quickly, but after the next dynasty, the various yamen were busy and crazy.

It's not just that each department is busy on its own, but under the coordination of the cabinet, multiple departments are working together in coordination.

For example, the Invalides Academy, theoretically, was the order of the Ministry of War and the Taichang Temple in charge of the martyrs, but this matter could not be done without the finance, engineering, and land related departments.

The relevant tasks of the Labor Bureau, the holy decree was sent to the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate at the same time, requiring the head of the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to verify, but it was obvious that the opinions of the relevant departments of the project had to be consulted.

The most important thing should be regarded as the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and it should be led by the cabinet, and all departments should cooperate collectively, including the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces and the Imperial Foundation.

It seems that the most leisurely thing seems to be the Honglu Temple, which should have been busy, waiting for the detailed rules and scope of the withdrawal of the feudal domain to be determined, and the corresponding feudal kingdom can be deleted.

It's just that the princes and ministers who attended yesterday's imperial meeting know that Honglu Temple is the leading department that is now the driving force behind this reform.

Zhu Jianyan took his son to the early court, and instinctively drove out of the palace to Honglu Temple, ready to go back to teach his son how to negotiate.

The car exited Chengtianmen, turned left into East Chang'an Street, and on the side of the street were the central yamen.

The original central government offices of the Ming Dynasty were concentrated on both sides of the thousand-step corridor outside the Chengtian Gate, with civil officials on the left and military attachés on the right, and the total area was not as large as the Forbidden City.

The working conditions were really not very good, and the rapid expansion of the central institutions of the empire after modernization, it soon could not meet the daily office needs.

After the re-establishment of the Sejo, the Wenhua Hall was rebuilt, and the cabinet moved from the small courtyard under the south wall of the palace to the annex building of the Wenhua Palace, and the cabinet office conditions went up at once.

The Central Government Office outside the Forbidden City has also been rebuilt and expanded as a whole.

Now the entire south side of Chang'an Street, from Chongwenmen to Xuanwumen, is all the office area or reserved office area of each yamen.

They are all buildings with traditional oriental appearance and brick and concrete structure, and later they were connected to water, electricity and heating, and now they are also equipped with electric fans like the palace, and the office conditions are much better than before.

The headquarters compound of the Imperial Family Consortium and the headquarters of the Royal Bank, which serves as the central bank, are located on the north side of the west end of West Chang'an Avenue.

That is, the depression in the southwest corner of Xiyuan Palace, which belongs to the place of Yongfang Street, so it is very convenient to contact the palace and various government offices.

Zhu Jianyan's car was on the way to Honglu Temple, when it was close to the entrance of the office area of the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Jingyuan suddenly opened his mouth and shouted to stop:

"The driver stops the car, Father, I'll go to the Ministry of Works."

No matter what the driver wants to do for His Royal Highness, all in all, pull over slowly to ensure safety.

Zhu Jianyan looked at his son and asked very confusedly:

"What are you going to do at this time? Your top priority now is to hurry up and follow me to Honglu Temple to study while you still have some time. ”

Zhu Jingyuan explained in a serious manner:

"Father, according to our discussion before the last court, in order to create pressure on the enemy, we must let the court announce reform measures and plan military operations at the same time.

"Now that the reform measures are in place, the momentum must be very huge, but there is no military action yet, and I went to the Ministry of Industry for this purpose."

Zhu Jianyan listened to his son's words and was even more confused:

"Since it is for the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with the army, why don't you go to the Governor's Mansion or the Military Aircraft Department first, why do you want to go to the Ministry of Industry?"

Zhu Jingyuan suddenly realized that he had just finished speaking, and his father could not have thought that he was going to engage in ordnance:

"Ordnance design and warship construction are under the control of the Ministry of Industry, and I now have a few ideas for weapons and warship design, and I am going to go to the Ministry of Industry to find craftsmen to verify them."

Zhu Jianyan understood his son's purpose, but his doubts were even more, and he couldn't help but remind and ask his son:

"Emperor Sejo once said that ordnance design is a highly specialized job, which must be handled by a full-time master craftsman, and a layman must not arbitrarily interfere.

"It is said that in the early years, officials did not think so, but in recent decades the machinery has become more and more complex, and it is really difficult for part-time craftsmen to intervene.

"Jingyuan, when did you learn weapon design? I remember that in the curriculum of the children of the royal family, there was only the most basic principled content. ”

"I ......"

Zhu Jingyuan felt that Emperor Shizu's rules were good, but now it has become an obstacle for him to exert his ability as a traverser.

The traverser must invent and create, and what is a traverser if he does not invent and create:

"I didn't specialize in ordnance design, and I'm not going to interfere directly with it, I'm going to come up with some ...... Conceptual and creative in nature – envisioned......

"Yes, it is creativity and imagination, how to realize the specific function, and the detailed design of the specific physical object, must be handed over to the craftsmen to complete.

"Emperor Shizu nominally invented so many things, but in fact most of them were done like this, right? So interfering and providing ideas are two different things.

"I went directly to the craftsmen under the Ministry of Works, most of them would not listen to the opinions of a layman like me, so I had to use the holy decree to act cheaply to go to the officials of the Ministry of Works to arrange."

Zhu Jianyan finally figured out the consequences, and then his expression became very serious, frowning and thinking.

Zhu Jianyan was a little worried, whether his son was rewarded by the prince, booked a future top official position, and got huge power, and then began to be complacent.

I was already going to participate in the peace talks as a representative of the Ming Dynasty, but instead of hurrying to learn the knowledge of negotiations, I had to toss some weapons and equipment.

The education received by the princes and grandchildren was mainly political, economic, and military, and other subjects were common-sense.

Zhu Jingyuan's participation in the reform meeting and his opinions, and even his participation in the peace talks are understandable behaviors, and they can be regarded as some kind of exercise and practical training.

But the ordnance design is really out of line, and people who have not really learned professional knowledge can have any reasonable ideas and plans for highly specialized ordnance design?

Zhu Jianyan was a little angry that iron could not become steel, and subconsciously wanted to forcibly pull his son to Honglu Temple to study.

But I am worried that if my smartest baby son really has a genius idea in weapons, it will be a loss for the court if he is not allowed to try.

Although the probability is certainly low, it cannot be said that it is completely non-existent.

Considering that it shouldn't take much time and cost to find some craftsmen to do some engineering tests.

In addition, he can supervise on the spot to avoid him messing around, and let the craftsman complete the specific work, so this kid can give advice on the side.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Jianyan finally put on the most serious expression possible, and reminded his son with a straight face:

"Well, you can try, but remember that you can't do it willy.

"Your grandfather gave you the right to act cheaply, for the sake of the cooperation and negotiation of the yamen, not for you to serve the court officials to satisfy their selfish desires!

"The Ministry of Works must be very busy right now, and I will accompany you to watch it, lest you have a conflict with the officials of the Ministry of Works......

"You carefully explain your ideas to the Great Sikong and the craftsmen, and be sure not to put up a shelf for the prince."

Zhu Jingyuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that his father would not let him go to the Ministry of Industry, and he would be really troublesome.

As for the warning that followed, I didn't pay attention to it at all.

His own ideas have been verified by history, are absolutely epoch-making, and can even change the design of the mode of war.

It is even more desirable for his father to be able to follow him and help him deal with the officials of the Ministry of Works:

"Father, don't worry, I'm definitely not messing around, my idea will definitely be of great use, you'll know when you make it......"

Zhu Jianyan didn't believe it very much in his heart, and patiently accompanied his son to the compound.

Zhu Jingyuan stopped at the gate of the courtyard of the Ministry of Industry, looked up at the surrounding "Ming-style" brick and concrete buildings, and said with emotion in his heart:

"I may have to deal with the Ministry of Industry a lot in the future, so I will start with the Ship Department of the Ministry of Industry in the future......

After recovering the memory of his previous life, Zhu Jingyuan analyzed the current weapon system of the Ming Empire and believed that Emperor Shizu did not understand modern weapons and equipment.

Now that the industrial and scientific level of the Ming Dynasty is close to that of the pre-World War I earth, the technology required for dreadnoughts has been formed.

However, this kind of battleship design, which is very important in modern history and can be divided into warship categories, did not appear in the navy of the Ming Empire.

The empire's current technological capabilities should have been able to make early aircraft, but the official and royal families have not moved.

The early tanks should also be able to be made, but I haven't seen any news myself.

Therefore, the "idea" that Zhu Jingyuan is ready to come up with is tanks, airplanes, and dreadnoughts, the core equipment of the navy, land and air force in the new era.
