There is no plan to go out today, and I don't know if it is the first meal of breakfast or lunch, Zhu Yuan came to the study of the main house and began to deal with some simple business.

First of all, I wrote an official document that I planned to send to the Shosaku.

Regarding the abacus that I showed to Lao Zhu yesterday, I saw it by chance on the day of the imperial examination at the end of September, and then it was arranged to be built by the division. In this era when there are no computers, the abacus is basically the strongest auxiliary calculation tool.

Therefore, not only Jinling University, which was initially considered, but also other colleges and universities that were being prepared, as well as various departments of the imperial court, had to be distributed.

The reason why I am so concerned is that I want to talk about the 'study of economics'.

In the future, one of the foundations that will support the study of economics is data, a large amount of data, and if you want to get a large amount of data, without a computer, the abacus is the best choice.

As for the abacus formula, Zhu Yuan only remembered one 'three under five divided by two', and forgot everything else, this time he didn't bother with it personally, and he didn't let the women in the house ponder, but planned to hand it over to the mathematics major of Jinling University to perfect it.

It's not just addition and subtraction, it's not just multiplication and division, in the future, it's necessary to study the way out.

Then, the women finally finished the simplified dictionary.

Zhu Yuan has been following up personally, initially a pinyin dictionary, referring to "Shuowen Jie Zi", and then a simplified word, at the moment, a thick hand-copied dictionary, a total of more than 10,000 words.

I probably flipped through it, and then attached a simple piece of music about my thoughts, planning to send it to Lao Zhu later.

Pinyin and simplified characters must be promoted as soon as possible.

Zhu Yuan's suggestion to Lao Zhu was to print tens of thousands of copies first, just like "Daming Monthly", distribute them to all states and counties, and promote them semi-compulsorily.

This matter has also been identified as a theme in the next issue of "Daming Monthly", mainly to explain the necessity of promoting 'pinyin' and 'simplified characters', and also to show the attitude of the imperial court, you can not learn, just like ...... You can also have no future.

In addition, "Daming Monthly" will gradually be simplified in the future.

After these two incidents, he began to read and deal with some official documents sent by various yamen.

There are quite a few of them, and there are only two important ones.

The first one is from Minnesota Minnesotens.

The winter fishing, which officially started at the end of September, is about two to three months long according to the flood season, and it is now halfway through.

The official document of the Mingzhou Yinghai Division was sent on the tenth day of the first month of winter, and from the official start of fishing on September 29, a total of one month and ten years.

During this time, the Zhoushan sea area has fortunately been calm, Yinghai Division has harvested about 370,000 quintals of hairtail fish, and if this can be the case in the second half, it is expected that the entire fishing flood will end, and the total amount of winter fishing will reach about 800,000 quintals.

Far more than the initial conservative estimate of 500,000 quintals.

On the one hand, God gives face, no wind and no rain, and the fishing has not been interrupted, on the other hand, it is also the gradual maturity of the means of fishing hairtail, after all, the 6,000 quintals of harvest on the first day of fishing, when I received the news, Zhu Yuan is not too little, and I am worried that there will be quick success, and I will do my best to fish, but at the same time, it is not too much.

At present, the daily output is about 10,000 quintals, which is qualified.

In addition to sea fishing, the document also mentions that taking advantage of the north wind in winter, the sea trade ships going to Goryeo, Japan and other countries in the summer have begun to return one after another, and some data has been given, and the income is very good.

Also taking advantage of the north wind, there were also some merchant ships heading south from Mingzhou.

In addition, there are other trivialities, such as guano island, duck farming industry chain, tree planting plan for next year, and so on.

After reading Mingzhou's documents, Zhu Yuan replied as usual, mainly for this winter fishing, and still tirelessly told that to be sustainable, we can't fish with all our might.

The second was sent by the Firearms Division.

This is a thick stack of firearms illustrated books, mainly the types of firearms that the Ming army currently has.

The last time I met with Firearms Shirou in China and South Korea, I was shocked to find that a large amount of gunpowder was hoarded in Jinling City, and immediately ran to Lao Zhu to talk about relocation, and then I didn't have time to talk about more, but just passed the word and asked for these materials.

There is also deliberation in private.

Before returning from Mingzhou, he talked with Huagao about the development direction of the Ming Navy, which should focus on long-range strikes, and promised to personally keep an eye on the corresponding firearms research and development here.

However, the current situation is that it is still necessary to take it one step at a time.

Relatively speaking, because of the understanding of the fundamentals, the Ming Dynasty has been able to produce a considerable amount of black powder, but, further, the conditions for the kind of automatic or semi-automatic firearms are still too far behind.

Like what...... Lack of machine tools.

If it's just casting, it's primitive after all.

In addition, if you want better gunpowder, or other aids, chemistry has to go a little further.

There is also the issue of raw materials.

During this time, I also learned that the three main raw materials, the demand for large quantities, is no longer tens of thousands of catties and hundreds of thousands of catties per year, so carbon is not a problem, sulfur ...... In this era, it was originally possible to refine pyrite, so it was not a problem, and the final nitrate, there were some problems, and the key was to explore more nitrate.

None of this can be done in a short period of time.

What Zhu Yuan can think of is to do as much as possible under the existing conditions, and it should be practiced.

More...... Wait a few years.

Looking through the illustrated book now, I can't help but sigh that the ideas that can be had in a few hundred years, artillery, muskets, mines, and even mines, etc., are actually all in this era. However, they are also quite rough.

Still have to wait.

Zhu Yuan finished the illustrated book and added the piece to Lao Zhu again.

Now firearms can be used, so Zhu Yuan hopes to use them as much as possible, mainly ...... First of all, a large number of soldiers who are good at firearms will be trained for the future.

Except for these two, some other official documents are simply annotated and put aside.

For example, another one, about Daming Ceramics Group.

This project is important.

As we all know, in this era, China's ceramic trade, both internally and externally, both in volume and profit, can be called huge.

Therefore, Zhu Yuan is very much in favor of Lao Zhu to establish Daming Ceramics Group.

However, for this project, Zhu Yuan plans to shrink his hand.

After all, you have to give others room to play, right?

What's more, whether internally or externally, this business has lasted for thousands of years, and there are many people who know it, but Zhu Yuan is a layman.

Just don't touch it.

So I just wrote some ideas roughly according to the model of other 'groups', probably that is, there must be a concept of technical protection, and there must be a sense of creating a brand, and the rest, Lao Zhu himself looked at the arrangement, and Zhu Yuan didn't even recommend manpower.

After working like this for more than half an hour, everything that should be processed has been processed, and the official documents that should be sent have been sent, and there is nothing else for the time being. When I came to the East Garden, I watched the progress of the women's various textbooks for a while, and news came from the porter.

Deng Yu sent his family to post over, hoping to make an appointment to visit and discuss the matter of Jinling Military University.

also said that it was Lao Zhu's advice.

This can't be refused, reply directly, you can do it now.

Because I got up too late today, I didn't plan to take a nap, and the afternoon was just right.

After replying, Deng Yu quickly arrived.

Zhu Yuan greeted him in front of the main hall of the Second Courtyard, and looked at a burly figure in civilian clothes who was tall and had an obvious military atmosphere, and was very envious.

Once reborn, why didn't you get such a good body?

Well......

If you want to choose, "Rebirth often meets spring, opening the road of the Ming God of War".

All right.

Immediately noticed that Deng Yu was followed by a young man who was at most twenty years old, who was also tall, and his aura was not as obvious as Deng Yue's, but he also felt that he was close to the army.

After the two sides met and exchanged a few words, Zhu Yuan looked at the young man who came with Deng Yu: "This is ......"

"Pingzhang, you must know the name when you hear it......" As soon as Deng Yu opened his mouth, he lost his fierce aura, and it was more of a gentle feeling when he saw it for the first time at Longwan Wharf: "This ...... It was Pingzhang who presided over Zheng Xun who published the article in the "Daming Monthly". Oh, speaking of "Daming Monthly", I recently read it and felt a lot. ”

Zhu Yuan was stunned.

The ten points of the strategy are all military strategy candidates, at that time, the test paper had not been opened, Zhu Yuan ordered to post the search for people, and the author was determined, but he didn't deliberately learn more, and he never thought that he would be taken by Deng Yu today.

I remembered that I did suggest that Lao Zhu let him enter Jinling Military University that day.

Lao Zhu is good again.

Deng Yu introduced here, and a young man named Zheng Xun followed and saluted Zhu Yuan: "Zheng Xun pays a visit to Lord Pingzhang. ”

"Get up," Zhu Yuan held his arms and said, "I am also deeply impressed by your article, and I hope you can practice it in the future, not just on paper." ”

Zheng Xun got up, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly bowed his hand: "Listen to the teachings of adults." ”

With the rise of this talk, He Xuan on the side had to step forward, bowed down and whispered: "My lord, general, come into the house and talk, it's windy outside today." ”

Although it was still sunny, there was a north wind again today.

Deng Yu suddenly remembered the weak body of the young man in front of him, nodded hurriedly, and stretched out his hand to help Zhu Yuan: "Pingzhang, let's go into the house." ”

Zhu Yuan nodded and turned around.

The small conference room ordered the day before yesterday has been set up.

This time, the conference table was smaller, one zhang long and three feet wide.

Zhu Yuan did not sit down, but sat opposite Deng Yu, Zheng Xun originally refused to sit down, spread out a few documents he brought on the table, and listened to Zhu Yuan say that he was responsible for recording, so he carefully sat down in the bottom position.

He Xuan handed over tea and pen and paper and quietly retreated.

Taking advantage of Zhu Yuan's time between flipping through those documents, Deng Yu talked about it just now: "Pingzhang is afraid that he doesn't know, after Zheng Xun is still a loyal martyr, his father Zheng Ensui raised troops in Tongling that year, and then voted for the lord, and died in Poyang Lake five years ago. When the lord heard of his identity, he specially summoned him a few days ago, and awarded him the post of a thousand households of the Zhengwupin Gongwei Division, and asked him to prepare for the establishment of Jinling Military University with me. ”

"Poyang Lake, although I haven't experienced it, I also know the danger and tragedy of that battle," Zhu Yuan sighed when he heard it, 600,000 troops fought in Poyang Lake, not to mention the era of cold weapons, even in the era of thermal weapons hundreds of years later, there were not many such large-scale water battles, and turned to Zheng Xun: "You have this origin, but you must work hard, whether it is your ancestor or your father, you must not let it down." ”

Zheng Xun thought of the past because of the conversation between the two, and there were already some tears in the blink of an eye, and when he heard the words, he got up and respectfully agreed again: "Keep in mind your job." ”

Zhu Yuan noticed Zheng Xun's self-claim this time, as well as Deng Yu's introduction just now.

Gong Wei Si Qianhu, this is considered a military position.

Zhu Yuan's previous suggestion was to let Zheng Xun join the military department, but the military department was still planning, and ...... Arch Guard.

Lao Zhu probably had other ideas.

Zhu Yuan also remembered it again, and almost forgot about the change of the name of the Gongwei Division to Jinyiwei.

The name Jinyiwei is domineering!

There's no rush to this.

Thinking of the article that was very much in line with his taste, coupled with Zheng Xun's qualifications, Zhu Yuan also had a few more questions about this young man. However, there is no more performance at the moment, and it is still necessary to discuss the right thing.
