After returning to the bookcase and sitting down, Lao Zhu looked at the microscope placed in the corner of the table, and wanted to continue to explore the microscopic world, but finally restrained his thoughts.

There are many things to deal with, and you can't be discouraged by playthings.

It's a long time coming.

Re-summoned Wen Zao, who was sent by him to lunch before, Lao Zhu opened the letters and logs sent by his precious twenty-third grandson this time, and asked Wen Zao Mingzhou about various things.

In addition to the biggest surprise of the microscope, Zhu Yuan's handwritten letters and recent journals discussed various things once again made Lao Zhu's thinking divergent, and unconsciously drew inferences from each other.

It's like the heart-attacking tactics against the pirates.

The greatest possible way to surrender the army without a fight is completely in line with Lao Zhu's personal military thinking.

After reading Zhu Yuan's plan, Lao Zhu even felt that if the child was not too weak, this cautious and thoughtful character would definitely be a good seedling for the leader if he cultivated it.

What a pity!

Then what attracted Lao Zhu was the bearing.

Zhu Yuan came with a physical object, as well as some artwork and a half-inch caliper for accurate measurements.

Bearings, which are commonplace mechanical parts after a few hundred years, appear in almost all modern machines that people can think of because they can greatly reduce the coefficient of friction and speed up the operation efficiency of mechanical equipment.

Its importance to industrial society can be imagined by just looking at its name as an 'industrial joint'.

Because it is important, because it is indispensable, it seems so 'commonplace'.

Lao Zhu read Zhu Yuan's explanation, and also looked at the artwork and samples sent together, and asked Wen Zao to talk in detail about the hydraulic saw platform on the bank of the Yongjiang River. In the end, after a little consideration, he summoned Shan Anren, the secretary of the general, and planned to let the general be selected as soon as possible to mass-produce this mechanical part.

Because even without Zhu Yuan's explanations, Lao Zhu can also see that such a mechanical part, whether it is used on a car or a ship, can make some operations twice as effective.

As for Zhu Yuan's statement that limited to the current industrial conditions, he can only use softer and expensive copper to make bearings, and cannot use relatively cheap iron, which is not a problem at all.

Copper can be used in these things, and Lao Zhu thinks it is the right way.

In comparison, Lao Zhu has never cared much about the copper coin casting of the Baoyuan Bureau. Jinling's Baoyuan Bureau has been established for many years, and before that, it had minted 10 or 20 million new coins every year. However, it is made of copper to create arrow clusters and the like, and Lao Zhu never hesitates.

Then, there is the market revenue.

Zhu Yuan sent a copy of Yinghai Division's recent tax bills, and talked to Lao Zhu about his next plans.

After Lao Zhu saw it, he felt that it was no wonder that he was a businessman who could accumulate a net worth of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in his previous life, and he was really unheard of by the means.

Therefore, there is no intention to interfere.

I also feel that Zhu Yuan has reported these things too carefully, and since he has been given the right to act cheaply, there is no need to bother to speak.

Thinking of this, I decided to tell you when I wrote back later.

Immediately after that, Lao Zhu cheered up again.

Zhu Yuan wanted to set up a maritime academy in Dinghai to teach all kinds of knowledge related to navigation.

Lao Zhu's first reaction ......

I have to admit, as well as reflect, he wants to cherish himself again.

Thinking about Zhu Yuan's idea of opening up the ocean, it is indeed as the kid said before, how can it be done without thousands of specialized navigation talents?

Therefore, this is also a must-have maritime academy.

It is...... Always be cautious.

Continuing to read, Lao Zhu felt that he was too worried.

Zhu Yuan specifically stated that the Maritime Academy only involves civil affairs.

For example, shipbuilding will only involve civilian ships, and will not be related to warships. When it comes to maps, they will only teach map reading, not cartography.

And so much else.

In short, it should be kept secret, and the Maritime Academy will definitely be cautious.

In the end, Zhu Yuan also proposed that if Lao Zhu was interested, in the next few years, a naval academy could be opened in Jinling, which would be directly controlled by the center to cultivate deeper naval talents.

Tut......

What a thoughtful thing this kid is!

How could the ancestors object?

Lao Zhu, who didn't plan to say more, thought so, and quickly read a series of logs and letters.

Finally, a small thing was noted.

Zhu Yuan mentioned in yesterday's diary that his birthday is February 22, that is, the day after tomorrow, and he plans to take the next day as his 14th birthday, which can be regarded as a new beginning.

Lao Zhu understood.

The 22nd day of the second month of the lunar calendar should be the birthday of the child's previous life.

It's good to start at the age of 14 again.

Indeed, do not always think about past lives.

Since the child has a birthday, the ancestor always has to express it.

The mansion in Houhu is already under construction.

What kind of fountain pen was purchased to cheer for Zhu Yuan...... He also asked again because he had to accumulate some inventory and would not open until next month.

Other, gold play treasures?

That kid is not uncommon.

Well......

Lao Zhu suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday, a group of criminal officials and their families in Fujian were escorted to Jinling, and they were also going to be distributed to various nobles as slaves and maids.

It just so happened that the kid liked pretty women.

Chromophobia also.

With that child's indifferent temperament, it was not easy to have a preference, so he recruited an attendant and gave an order, asking to select the most outstanding group of women from that group of captives, and planned to let Wen Zao send them to Mingzhou as soon as possible, and they must arrive on February 22.

If it's late, what is it called?

It is...... Even if you know that the child has enough self-control, you still have to remind you to be temperate.

You can't hurt yourself.

instructed someone to do this, Lao Zhu began to reply to Zhu Yuan, and was writing, Shan Anren, the secretary of the secretary, arrived.

Lao Zhu handed over the bearing-related information to Shan Anren, and casually asked a few words about the construction of the mansion on Zhu Yuan Lake, and sent him away.

The letter was also written quickly.

handed it over to Wen Zao, and gave a few more words, and sent away this Gong Wei Si Baihu, and Lao Zhu began to deal with other movements.

Before you know it, another day is coming to an end.

The attendant quietly came in and lit the candles, and Lao Zhu realized that it was evening.

His gaze fell on the microscope in the corner of the table again.

After a little hesitation, he smiled self-deprecatingly, he still cherished himself, so he asked people to call Sun Shouzhen, the left envoy of the Tai Hospital, and planned to transfer this thing to the Tai Hospital.

After all, that's where it really works.

Sun Shouzhen arrived quickly, heard Lao Zhu say a few words, and then looked at the microscope, and the old lady doctor with an excited expression couldn't wait to pounce directly.

Lao Zhu then remembered that this old man probably didn't know how to use it.

After all, even if he had seen the whole operation of Wenzao, he hadn't actually seen it.

However, I didn't say much when I thought about it.

I groped for it, changed the topic, asked about Houhu Medical College, and learned that the first batch of 500 students from the affiliated primary school had been selected, aged between 8 and 12 years old, half male and half female, temporarily in a private house under the Red Mountain in Houhubei.

When the attached primary school building is completed, it can be transferred.

Lao Zhu was very satisfied, and asked Sun Shouzhen if he had any other needs.

No!

Sun Shouzhen shook his head directly.

His Majesty the Emperor has really invested a lot of money in this Houhu Medical College, and said that these 500 students will not only not be charged a penny, but will also be responsible for accommodation and three meals a day.

Three meals a day.

As long as these children are angry, it will be ten years.

In the future, if you learn a skill, even if you can't be a medical officer, you won't have to worry about food and clothing in this life.

It's just this condition, not to mention those civilian children who meet the standards in the near future, even some court officials are trying to send their children over to occupy the quota, so that Sun Shouzhen is overwhelmed.

In general, His Majesty the Emperor's support for Houhu Medical College was only better than that of Guozixue, which made everyone a little panicked. After all, behind the great support, it also means great expectations. If everyone fails to meet His Majesty's expectations in the future, then the result is unthinkable.

Sun Shouzhen also thought of Zhu Yuan because of this.

That kid, the dignified right envoy of Tai Hospital, the vice president of Houhu Medical College, just made a start for everyone, but he ran to Mingzhou, which is really unreasonable!
