Chapter 304: New Tianfu City and Sanqing City
After the sales plan was almost discussed, Zhu Jingyuan and the two staff members rested for a while and digested for a while.
After drinking some water to moisten their throats, Zhu Jingyuan asked about the situation of the two staff members:
"What do the two gentlemen think?
"Continue to be my staff and follow me to Yinzhou.
"Or stay in the Great Food Country and continue to be responsible for managing the affairs of Meng County.
"Or transfer to the Ming Dynasty, and now there is a real shortage everywhere."
When the two staff members heard this question, they immediately became a little entangled.
The first stage of Zhu Jingyuan's practical training is coming to an end, and the careers of Lin Zexu and Niu Jian's two staff members have also reached a critical juncture.
The identities of the two in the Ming official system are the staff of Zhu Jingyuan, the prince.
In Da Shiguo, according to the appointment of Zhu Jingyuan, the king, he served as a supervisor similar to Wang Zhuang in Mengxian County.
The nature of the staff is a secretary, and the rank and treatment themselves follow the Hanlin system, and the end point of promotion in the system is the cabinet scholar.
After the Renmu Dynasty, the Hanlin system was also greatly transformed into a staff or secretary system.
The key is that it is completely isolated from the system of foreign court officials, and cannot be directly transferred to foreign court officials above the county order.
No matter how high the grade is in the Hanlin system, even if he has become the highest level of bachelor, he can only be a county commander when he turns to a foreign court.
Therefore, a unique rule was derived, and the staff could follow the prince for practical training.
The promotion cycle of other foreign court officials is different from the prince's training cycle, and there is no way to promote them simultaneously.
Even if the cycle is synchronized, it is not allowed to follow the prince to the same place.
But the staff can, not only can they be promoted, but they can also follow into Beijing.
Because the staff secretary is not a substantive official.
If you're lucky, your staff can follow the prince until he ascends the throne, and then he will be promoted to a scholar.
If unfortunately, the prince who followed did not ascend the throne, this staff member would either serve as a staff member for the prince for life, or transfer to the outer court and start from scratch.
Under normal circumstances, the probability of misfortune is much greater than the probability of luck......
After all, there are many princes and grandchildren, and there is only one person who can ascend the throne.
The vast majority of the staff members followed the chief officer for a cycle or two, and after accumulating administrative experience, they were transferred to serve in foreign courts.
Of course, there are also those who don't like to be in charge, so they are ready to be a staff member for life.
If Lin Zexu and Niu Jian want to turn to foreign dynasties, now is the most suitable time.
Zhu Jingyuan's recommendation, coupled with the fact that there is a shortage of people everywhere now, they have the opportunity to directly serve as the county magistrate.
If the two of them were following other princes, they would basically turn to the court to become officials without hesitation.
In fact, when the average prince is training, he will not get the top potential staff directly arranged by the emperor.
But Zhu Jingyuan is different.
Lin Zexu and Niu Jian, as staff members, know Zhu Jingyuan's status better than anyone else.
Both of them were the former emperor and the current emperor, and Zhu Zhongliang personally arranged it.
The power that Zhu Jingyuan can use now, the trust he actually gets now, and the things he actually does in ordinary times are difficult for even Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen in the early Ming Dynasty, to match.
At the beginning, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang supervised the work of the crown prince Zhu Biao.
The current Emperor Taishang and the emperor have a feeling that they are watching what Zhu Jingyuan wants to do.
Not to mention the other princes.
Now it's basically the prince who has been tacitly accepted but not made public.
At the same time, the character of Zhu Jingyuan, a prince, is completely different from other princes.
Not easy to get along with, but especially easy to get along with.
There is no innate arrogance common to the children of the royal family of the general close branch.
When discussing things, making suggestions and requests, you don't have to worry about anything at all, you can say whatever you want.
Working with him is working, you don't have to think about scheming, figuring out your intentions, in short, you are very down-to-earth and at ease.
The key is that both of them can feel that Zhu Jingyuan's trust in himself is very high.
The high is a bit incomprehensible.
He seemed to think he could do anything.
It is conceivable that the two of them continue to follow him as staff, as long as they don't make big mistakes, their default future is to be a university scholar.
The two of them are Zhu Jingyuan's earliest staff, and even if there are latecomers to join in the future, they will have to stand behind in terms of seniority.
The number of university scholars is not one or two, and there is no limit to the number after the Renwu Dynasty.
As long as the two play normally, there will definitely be a place.
At that time, both of them will be exactly thirty-five years old, and they will directly get the treatment of Shangshu.
After the Renwu Dynasty, the status of scholars declined, and the real power was lower than that of Shangshu, but they enjoyed the same status and treatment.
At the age of thirty-five, he can directly become a supreme minister, and after another thirty years, he will retire as a university scholar.
The future is really bright.
Instead, he turned to the outer court, and after leaving Zhu Jingyuan's side, the future was full of uncertainty.
In Zhu Jingyuan's more than ten years of practical training, will he recruit staff and courtiers who make him more trusted?
At the same time, the two of them had a more special choice, which the other princes' aides did not have, that is, to officially serve as officials of the Great Food Country.

At the time of the training, he was already the prince of the vassal king, and Zhu Jingyuan was such a person since the Renwu Dynasty.
The two of them can be promoted in the system of the Great Food Country according to Zhu Jingyuan's order.
If the Great Food Kingdom withdraws from the feudal domain in the future, they will most likely be able to transfer to the official system of the Ming Dynasty.
The speed of promotion in a big country was greatly influenced by Zhu Jingyuan.
The key is that if Zhu Jingyuan ascends the throne as emperor in the future, there is a high probability that the Great Food Kingdom will withdraw its feudal domain at the same time.
Serving in the Great Food Country is equivalent to a fast track to promotion.
It's just that no matter how you take the fast lane, you don't lie down directly to the university faster.
Even, if you really want to be a scholar, you can choose to lie down to a university scholar first, and then go to a foreign court to become an official.
After all, he was only thirty-five years old at that time, and it was not too late to start his promotion from the county order.
As the emperor's trusted staff, he will definitely be able to be promoted quickly.
After more than ten years, it is estimated that when he is in his early fifties, he may really become a scholar, which is still not too late.
Because of this, choosing this path directly will make Zhu Jingyuan feel unmotivated......
To be honest, Zhu Jingyuan himself was a little worried that the two of them had run away.
Zhu Jingyuan knows what the situation is in the Ming officialdom now, and there is a great shortage of people everywhere.
It's not easy to find a few reliable officials.
In particular, these two are people who have been proven by history to be useful.
In the past two years, I have personally confirmed that both of them are indeed capable people.
Lin Zexu is now twenty-two years old, and he has taken care of the matter of immigrating from multiple feudal states at the same time and building a large industrial park.
Niu Jian was in charge of all the messy things in his logistics, and he never made any major mistakes.
Seeing that the two seemed to be a little entangled, Zhu Jingyuan directly opened his mouth to stay:
"If the two gentlemen haven't made a decision, you might as well follow me to continue to Yinzhou first.
"Honestly, there is a shortage of people everywhere right now, and I hope the two gentlemen can continue to help me."
Since Zhu Jingyuan said so, the two people who were already familiar with Zhu Jingyuan's character no longer hesitated.
The two stood up together and bowed:
"Dare to disobey."
Zhu Jingyuan also smiled and arched his hand:
"Then inform Mr. Pan and let him come over as soon as possible and take over the affairs of Meng County."
The two staff members agreed again.
Then the three of them sat down again and continued to discuss the details of all sides, the details that might come to mind.
Early the next morning, Zhu Jingyuan got up as usual, put on the training uniform he invented, and went to the shooting range with his grandfather.
When he arrived at the place, Zhu Zhongliang first picked up a magazine, and while pressing the bullet into it, he said to Zhu Jingyuan:
"Write a suggestion to your dad...... Well, I'm painted, I don't need to write it to him, I'm in charge of the internal affairs of the royal family.
"I will make a decree that in the future, the daily training and assessment of the children of the royal family will be changed to the assault rifles and submachine guns you invented.
"Bullet pressing is listed as a compulsory practice and compulsory test.
"At the same time, we can start building a production line for this so-called power-reducing bullet.
"In Xintianfu, we will also directly start construction of sufficient firearms and bullet production lines, and gradually replace firearms for the Xintianfu troops."
Zhu Jingyuan has no opinion on this.
Assault rifles instead of bolt-action rifles can be regarded as a future trend, so just nod in agreement:
"Then let's build it, and replace the guns should also be, but at the same time, we must comprehensively improve the logistics capacity.
"It's going to have to build roads, airports, trucks, and planes, and it's not something that can be done overnight......"
Zhu Jingyuan asked the Ministry of Industry to design a corresponding bullet pressing tool, but it was used in the rear and logistics.
When a soldier goes to the front, it is impossible to carry a bullet pressing tool that takes up space with him.
The magazines you carry with you are empty, and if the battle is not over, you will have to manually press the bullets inside.
Zhu Jingyuan himself began to suppress the bullet, and at the same time asked Zhu Zhongliang's opinion on what he was thinking about recently:
"Grandpa, can you give me some advice, what things and facilities should I bring with me when I go to Yinzhou......
Zhu Zhongliang said without hesitation:
"Take everything you can with you, especially your few labs, you won't be able to come back before you retire anyway."
Zhu Jingyuan was going to discuss it with his grandfather and ask him to give some detailed advice to help him decide how to choose.
It turned out that this old man was good, this idea was really too simple and crude.
After leaving the Great Food Country this time, he may not be able to come back until he retires.
It seems that this is indeed the case:
"You make so much sense that I can't even refute it......"
Zhu Zhongliang had already pressed the bullet of a magazine, and immediately loaded it onto the assault rifle next to him:
"To establish a sound industrial system in Xintianfu, of course, it must also include these new industries that you have created.
"Rather, it's about your new industry.
"For example, in the petrochemical industry, doesn't Nanyinzhou also have oil?
"The point is that the environment around the oil producing area over there is much better than in the bay of the big food country you are now.
"The petrochemical base over there, the petrochemical product textile base, can be built directly next to the oil field, and they can all be put together.
"A few of your laboratories can be moved to Xintianfu as a whole, and the environment is much better than that of Quicksand City.
"The great craftsmen who are engaged in research must have a comfortable environment in order to play a better role.
"In Quicksand City, most of the energy is spent fighting the harsh environment.
"Around these laboratories, the aviation and automotive industry chain will be built in Xintianfu.
"There is also large-scale shipbuilding, plus the atomic industry.
"Together, these industries can complete the final, most powerful aircraft carrier construction."
Zhu Jingyuan listened and said with some astonishment:
"You're thinking about nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and the direction can indeed be this direction.
"However, the shipyard of this large warship is afraid that it can't be placed in New Tianfu City.
"A ship of several thousand tons is okay, but tens of thousands of tons is estimated to be fine."
When Zhu Jingyuan said this, Zhu Zhongliang also nodded with a little regret:
"Everything around New Tianfu City is good, but there is no natural harbor.
"Although New Tianfu City is a coastal city, the surrounding bays are relatively shallow.
"It's at least 200 kilometers from a sea area with a depth of 10 meters, and it's almost 300 kilometers from a sea area with a depth of 20 meters.
"Sanqing City is slightly better, more than 20 kilometers away from the 10-meter sea area, and more than 70 kilometers away from the 20-meter water depth.
"Now the naval base of Xintianfu is in Sanqing City, and the follow-up large shipyard can only be placed in Sanqing City.
"Dredging a fifteen-meter-deep channel to get out......"
The three words "New Tianfu", before the World War, generally referred to all the imperial villages of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyinzhou.
After the World War, it now refers to the whole of South Yinzhou, and sometimes the Central Yinzhou Islands.
New Tianfu City is Buenos Aires, the historical capital of Argentina.
Sanqing City is Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay.
Sanqing City was originally going to be named New Chongqing, but some people realized that "Chongqing" means Zaiqing and Erqing.
So the new Chongqing became "Sanqing".
New Tianfu City and Sanqing City are the two largest cities in New Tianfu.
They are located on the north and south sides of the Milky Way estuary bay.
The Milky Way is the River de la Plata, and the original meaning of "River de la Plata" is "River of Silver".
Tianfu has the Milky Way, and the painting style is completely in line with it.
The mouth of the Yinhe River is very wide, and its flow ranks fourth in the world, second only to the Amazon River, the Congo River, and the Yangtze River.
Purely considering the land and climate, the plain area around this estuary is basically the best place in the whole of Nanyinzhou.
Especially for the agricultural people, it is the best place in the world.
It's like turning Gangnam into a plain.
However, the shortcomings of the impact plain also appeared, and the coast here is similar to that of the southeast of North Yinzhou, lacking a natural harbor.
The water depth in most of the interior of the White Galaxy estuary is only about five meters deep.
After continuous dredging treatment, there is now an eight-meter-deep channel.
However, the follow-up ships of 40,000 tons or even 80,000 tons are still completely insufficient.
If you want to find a good natural port, you can only go north along the coast, under the Brazilian plateau, between the plateau and the Atlantic Ocean, there are better ports, such as Rio de Janeiro.
However, the topography of Nanyinzhou is high and low in the middle, and most of the rivers on the Brazilian plateau flow from the outside to the inside.
There are few large rivers on the narrow coastal plain between the Brazilian plateau and the Atlantic Ocean.
The port of Rio de Janeiro is close to having no hinterland at all.
The point is that these places have been occupied by Portuguese immigrants for a long time, and at the moment the Tessie immigrants have not been completely emptied.
The local Yin people have been brainwashed by the Portuguese for two hundred years, and it will take many years to re-wash the Ming culture.
These places are still not familiar to the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to directly plan key industries in such places.
Continuing north along the coastline, after crossing the Yajiang River (Amazon), there are also some natural harbors with relatively good conditions around the Caribbean Sea in the north of Nanyinzhou.
But the situation there is similar to Rio de Janeiro, which originally belonged to the Spaniards.
The Tessie immigrants were also not completely emptied, and a large number of Yin and mixed-race Yin were Catholics.
These sites are also not familiar land for the Ming Dynasty.
As for the west coast of Nanyinzhou, the eastern coastal area of the eastern Ming Ocean, separated by the Andes Mountains, is also a place without any hinterland.
Therefore, in a comprehensive assessment, the most suitable place to build a large shipyard and a military port is still near Sanqing City.
