In ancient Rome more than 1,000 years ago in the West, the bricks used for the construction of large buildings were produced by brick kilns, and the stone was processed by quarries and stonemasons according to the rules of columns and the requirements of architects.

They are connected by concrete made of natural volcanic ash to form a complete building.

Therefore, if you look at Roman architecture, you can use it as a prefabricated masonry and assembly of masonry parts on site.

Most of China's extinct volcanoes cannot be sourced locally, and they are concentrated in the northeast, grasslands, western regions, and Yunnan.

But ancient Chinese craftsmen still solved unsolvable puzzles.

The glutinous rice mortar invented in the Qin and Han dynasties was an excellent binder in the Ming Dynasty by a combination of lime, clay and sand, or a triad of earth, hydrated lime and sand.

In order to solve the bottleneck problem encountered in the scale-up production of coke refineries, the R&D Department is fully committed to the research of these two technologies.

"This is the change brought about by the factory, the scale of the traditional workshop, which can never be afforded." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

At the new meeting, Mr. Zhu instilled in the stewards that efficiency was more important than money.

"The difference between roadside food stalls and restaurants in Beiping City, and with the increase in scale, the difference will become more and more huge."

"Time is money."

The stewards approved of the little prince's proposal.

The first to adopt the steel frame technology was adopted.

Miyun Iron Works received an order from a coke refinery for external requirements and strength requirements for new components.

Because it is a new attempt, it is necessary to open a new mold, so the quotation is not low.

However, the coke refinery with deep pockets did not refuse, and the only requirement was speed, and the production problem was solved as soon as possible.

The benefits of building a water tower sooner are far more cost-effective than the cost paid.

In Zhu Gaochi's office.

Huo Zhen, a Mongolian, looked around curiously.

"The little prince is really different."

"Yes, the more you get in touch with the little prince, the more incredible his behavior will be." Li Biao on the side was amazed.

Huo Zhen fidgeted and couldn't help asking, "The little prince called us, do you know what the matter is?" ”

There were many Mongols in the Ming Dynasty, and they had the same status as the Han Chinese, and finally integrated into the Ming Dynasty and became the Ming people.

For example, when the last emperor Chongzhen died, many Mongolian nobles in the capital rested with the country.

The same is true in the military.

With the size of the Han population and the superiority of agricultural civilization, the tolerance brought by it is definitely not comparable to that of the rest of the group.

Li Biao was accustomed to Huo Zhen's awkward official words, and shook his head, he didn't know.

"I heard that you got acquainted with the little prince very early."

"At Zhu Neng's house." Li Biao's answer was very simple.

"Zhu Neng." Huo Zhen showed envious eyes, this person is a celebrity in the palace at the moment.

"Little Lord."

Hearing the sound outside, the two hurriedly got up.

"Sit down."

Zhu Gaochi greeted with a smile, walked straight to the back of the desk, and looked at Huo Zhen and Li Biao respectively.

Li Biao is not among the heroes of the martyrdom, which does not mean that this person is incapable.

As for the fire really.

He ranked ninth among the heroes of the martyrdom.

"I invite the two in the future today, I want to hire two, I don't know if the two are willing to do things for us."

Huo Zhen and Li Biao glanced at each other, then got up and clenched their fists.

"I am willing to die for the little prince."

The character of the old Zhu family has spread.

The saint is to the crown prince, the king of Yan is to the eldest prince, in short, loyalty to the eldest prince is loyalty to the king of Yan, and no one will miss this opportunity.

Zhu Gaochi had no accident and smiled lovely.

If only a year ago, he wouldn't have had that confidence.

"Father asked us to form a guard, let's think about it, I want to ask Li Biao to be our guard commander, I don't know what Li Biao wants?"

Li Biao hurriedly stepped forward to salute, speechless with excitement.

He is a hundred households, and being able to become the commander of the eldest prince's guards is indeed a great opportunity, and ordinary people cannot find it.

Huo Zhen glanced at Li Biao enviously, this person couldn't run away from decades of wealth, and couldn't help but breathe more, not knowing how the little prince would settle himself.

Zhu Gaochi appeased Li Biao and looked at Huo Zhen, who had a warm gaze, this person's straightforward personality and thoughts were unobstructed.

It's reassuring to deal with this kind of person.

"Qiu Fu, the original of the railway engineering team, was transferred to the stone box camp, and we want to ask Huo Zhen to replace Qiu Fu and take charge of his original affairs."

"Mark yes."

As soon as Zhu Gaochi's words fell, Huo Zhen agreed, and he already regarded himself as a subordinate.

The railway engineering team is a child of 10,000 military households.

Military households practice every day in the railway engineering team, even if it is only for half an hour, and the training time is more than in the guard station.

Moreover, Qiu Fu was in charge of 3,000 people, far exceeding the scale of the actual number of troops led by 1,000 households, and in comparison, it was already the level of the commander of the guard.

A radish and a pit, Huo really didn't expect to become a commander, but it was not bad to control the real power first.

The annual salary of each child of the railway engineering team is as high as 18 taels of silver, which ordinary people dare to think.

And the food and shelter are not heavy.

For this treatment, who would dare to disobey the children of the three thousand military households?

After discussing the matter, the two walked out of the office, looking excited, met Zhou Shifeng, the big shopkeeper of the factory, nodded to the two, and walked into Zhu Gaochi's office.

There were still a few people waiting in the outer library, and the two of them only felt incredible, this place seemed to be like a palace.

The number of workers of Chung Hwa Heavy Industries, excluding the railway engineering team and the engineering team, exceeded 2,000, and the foundation of the original iron smelting plant was fully tripled.

"It is said that the China Heavy Industry run by the little prince is amazing, and it is well-known to see it today." Li Biao sighed.

Huo Zhen nodded, touched the back of his head, and said with the same admiration: "I also know why the prince supports the little prince so much." ”

As far as the little prince's ability is concerned, who will not be taken seriously.

As it should be.

The entire China Heavy Industry, with all the scale of employment, is actually 10,000 people, not counting the honeycomb coal workshop and the military household economic cooperative.

The population of the entire territory of Beiping is only 2.6 million.

China Heavy Industries has become a giant.

No matter how much Zhu Gaochi delegated power, the affairs of the palace and the affairs of China Heavy Industry were already one after another.

"Cultivating a shopkeeper plan from the outer cabinet."

Zhu Gaochi's brows moved, he never expected that Zhou Shifeng thought of a better idea.

With the strength of China Heavy Industry on its own, it is not as good as the participation of non-governmental forces, which can promote the effect of all walks of life.

The more goods there are, the more they promote consumption.

However, with the current production environment and the difficult battle he will face in the next few years, it is difficult to choose.

In the monopoly production chain, the foundries that belong to the downstream end will have more control over the royal government, but the development will slow down, and the productivity of Beiping will weaken.

Without a monopoly on the foundry, the control of the royal government will decline, but the development will increase, and the productivity of Beiping will increase.

And the productivity of Beiping is closely related to the strength of the palace, so there are pros and cons in both ways, which makes Zhu Gaochi hesitate.

"The stewards of the outer cabinet are rushing in a lot, and there is a higher demand for social status, and they can be cultivated."

"As Xiao Wang Ye said before, it is necessary to fully volatilize the initiative of craftsmen and promote more technological development."

In Zhou Shifeng's capable eyes, there was a hint of meaningful intention.

China Heavy Industry is bound to the little prince.

The honor and disgrace of these people are even more tied to the little prince.

Dealing with all aspects of Beiping Mansion, Zhou Shifeng's vision has changed considerably, and he sees higher and farther.

The battle between the royal palace and the three divisions in Beiping was no longer a secret to him.

So he wanted to stabilize the position of the palace in Beiping.

He is white, he eats the food of the palace and serves the bowl of the palace, not only to repay the kindness of the encounter, but also for himself.

"Last time, on the railway to Miyun, the little prince's economic theory is really high, and the more his subordinates think about it, the more they admire."

"So the way I came up was to also fully volatilize the initiative of the cabinet managers and let them promote more foundries."

"For example, if you build a foundry that specializes in making agricultural tools, whoever has the best plan can become the treasurer and be responsible for setting up such a foundry."

"Brainstorming and blossoming in full swing."

Zhu Gaochi listened to Zhou Shifeng's words and carefully looked at the charter in his hand.

The deeper the combination of China Heavy Industry and Wangfu, the more the two promote each other, and each also integrates some of the habits of the other.

Zhou Shifeng no longer claimed to be a small citizen, and changed his subordinates, because he was influenced by the palace.

What does that mean?

He has ambitions, he doesn't want to be an ordinary person, he wants to change his status.

The palace is the only place where he can fulfill his wish.

The government is the most scientific, if there is no fame, Zhou Shifeng will never be able to change his class.

It's not that the imperial examination is bad.

The imperial examination has great advantages, but it also has limitations.

Talents like Jin Zhong and Zhou Shifeng, who are talented, but who do not have the ability to learn from science, are forced to a dead end.

"Shopkeeper Zhou's proposal is very good, follow your ideas." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

Exterior cabinets.

All stewards returned to the convention.

Zhou Shifeng personally presided over the shopkeeper training plan.

"Any ideas?"

"Yes."

After listening to the introduction, the stewards of the conference hall were all excited.

They go south and north, see and develop, have courage, experience, and hard work, and do not have these advantages, they cannot gain a foothold in the outer cabinet.

"No matter what factory you want to run, even if you want to run an oil umbrella factory, the fan factory can submit the plan."

Zhou Shifeng is the big shopkeeper of China Heavy Industry, with a factory scale of more than 10,000 people, and he has a sense of temperament, and under the mobilization of a few words, he can't wait to jump on the table with the provocation of the managers of the outer cabinet.

Who doesn't want to be a shopkeeper and be in charge of a factory.

"In the future, I won't be called the shopkeeper, I will be called the factory director!"

"The hand is fast, but the hand is slow."

"Whoever has the most feasible plan wins, the opportunity is in front of you, and if you miss it, you miss it."

Zhou Shifeng said firmly.

With the heritage of China Heavy Industries, the established factories are incomparably competitive, even if there are latecomers, they cannot compete with the branches of China Heavy Industries.

Not to mention the rest, China Heavy Industries controlled the railways.

Who has fought for China Heavy Industries?
