My Daming New Empire

Now he can't rely on others, and can only recall the development of steelmaking technology in the history of steel development by himself.

He only knew about crucible steelmaking, bottom-blowing converter steelmaking, and Thomas' basic bottom-blowing converter steelmaking, which used lime to increase the basic molecules in molten steel, and later developed into the top-blowing converter steelmaking method.

Crucible, open hearth furnace, blast furnace, converter, he knows all these principles, but he doesn't know anything about technology.

Therefore, he has no practical help in the development of science and technology, and at most he can lead the correct development direction.

From the [-]th to the fifth day of the new year, Zhu Di was very busy with sacrifices, court meetings, and banquets for officials from all walks of life in batches.

Zhu Zhanji will participate in some activities, such as Taimiao sacrifices, which he, the grandson, must also participate in.Now that he is not familiar with the procedure, he will be at a loss when he becomes emperor.

But he turned down most of the banquets, and even if he attended, he didn't drink.

It wasn't until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year that Zhu Di had a little leisure time, and then came to Xingqing Palace to read the strategy plan written by Zhu Zhanji.

This plan is Zhu Zhanji's first formal participation in state affairs. Not only does he attach great importance to it, but even Zhu Di also attaches great importance to it.

But when he saw the plan, Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then continued to read as if nothing had happened.

Because of the adoption of vernacular and punctuation marks, and Zhu Zhanji completely changed the ambiguous habit of official documents in the past, and made all the data accurate, and even made some charts with charcoal pencils.

As a result, in the eyes of ordinary people, things that can be written clearly in two to three thousand words, Zhu Zhanji wrote more than ten thousand.

However, this is just an outline, because there is not enough time. If there is enough time, he can write a proposal of 30 to [-] words.

In the future, the implementation of a national plan and policy will require millions of words, and even a house cannot fit the words written. However, in this era, Zhu Zhanji has already shocked Zhu Di by writing so many words for a plan.

In particular, he used vernacular Chinese, wrote horizontally, and then added punctuation marks, which made Zhu Di feel fresh.

Zhu Zhanji has been sitting quietly on the side, not in a hurry, waiting for him to finish reading.

After finally reading the last page, Zhu Di raised his head and asked, "Why did you write it in vernacular?"

"Grandson's plan is not only for Grandpa Huang, but also for everyone involved in the plan. Even if the other party is illiterate, he can understand what he is going to do after hearing it."

"You have arranged everything, so the people below have no flexible scope of work?"

"The grandson wants to let everyone know what they need to do and what they can't do. If they do well, they will be rewarded, and if they don't, they will be punished."

"Why are so many craftsmen and blacksmiths needed?"

"Develop the Shilu Mine."

"Why do you need so many imperial physicians?"

"Climates vary from place to place, and miasma is rampant. Only doctors can guarantee the safety of soldiers."

"..."

"..."

It took half an hour for the grandfather and grandson to ask and answer questions before Zhu Di fully satisfied his curiosity.

Before leaving, he finally showed a gratified smile: "Jieer's move is very good, and I am relieved."

Chapter 28 Ji Gang

After the eighth day of the lunar new year, preparations began in the palace.

Going out now is not like the later generations. You can just bring your toiletries, and you can even start with bare clothes, and you can buy everything.

It was the first time for Zhu Zhanji to travel far away, and the princess wanted to take all the palace with her. She packed twenty boxes for him just for the clothes.

Clothes, shoes, hats, accessories, armor, swords, silver beans for rewards when going out, favorite condiments, basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation, almost everything must be prepared.

The army was about to set off after the Lantern Festival, and Zhu Zhanji had to follow the custom and bid farewell to Xu's house and his uncle's house.

Zhang Chang also prepared a personal inner armor for Zhu Zhanji, which was made of steel wire and was very valuable.

In this era, both steel wire and iron wire need to be punched out manually, then weaved, quenched, and a piece of steel wire inner armor can be exchanged for silver of the same weight.

Because ordinary people don't have this skill at all, not only does it need to be made by a master craftsman, but the scrap rate is also high.

Xu's family is Empress Xu's natal family. Wei Guogong Xu Huizu's family was disliked by Zhu Di because Xu Huizu had fought against Zhu Di, and was imprisoned until his death in Yongle for five years.

His son, Xu Qin Chengjue, is of average ability and a second-generation playboy, and he is not liked by Zhu Di either.

Xu Qin's age is not far from Zhu Zhanji, and he once wanted to curry favor with Zhu Zhanji.However, Zhu Zhanji only values ​​talents, and incompetent people simply ignore him.

So now he has no relationship with Xu Huizu's family.

Zhu Di had the best relationship with Xu Zengshou, the fourth younger brother of Empress Xu, but Xu Zengshou was killed by Emperor Jianwen because of his heart for Zhu Di during the battle of Zhu Di's Jingnan.

Because of this, Zhu Di pursued Xu Zengshou's family twice, and hereditary Duke Ding.

However, Zhu Zhanji also looked down on Xu Jingchang, the current Dingguo Duke, because of Zhu Di's relationship, it was just a matter of face.

When he said goodbye, he only went to Duke Dingguo's mansion.

Xu Jingchang wanted to curry favor with Zhu Zhanji, who was deeply loved by Zhu Di, but Zhu Zhanji didn't give him this opportunity. After entering the mansion for a short greeting, he got up and said goodbye.

Xu Jingchang sent Zhu Zhanji outside the gate all the way, but when he came out, he saw Ji Gang, the commander of Jin Yiwei, guarding the gate with a dozen people.

Although Ji Gang's position level is not high, but in the entire capital, except the emperor, who would dare to let him wait outside the door!

If it weren't for Zhu Zhanji's presence, Xu Jingchang would almost have sat down on the ground.For a moment, he thought that Ji Gang was going to attack him!

Seeing Zhu Zhanji coming out, Ji Gang led the crowd to greet him and knelt down on one knee to salute. "The commander of Chen Jinyiwei pays a visit to His Royal Highness Taisun."

Zhu Zhanji and Ji Gang are just familiar faces. Although the two had a little conflict about Xie Jin's matter, Xie Jin was released smoothly, so he didn't take it to heart.

Although Ji Gang was not highly evaluated in history, Zhu Zhanji actually admired him very much.Because beside the emperor, such a vicious dog is needed to frighten everyone.

Don't you see that Chongzhen was fooled by a group of literati to withdraw from Jinyiwei, and then became the king of subjugation.

"Commander Ji is exempt from courtesy, you are my grandfather's capable minister, but you dare not be so generous as the Commander. Is the Commander looking for something with Mr. Xu?"

Zhu Zhanji made a gesture to help, and Ji Gang stood up, and a group of Jinyiwei behind him also stood up together.Only then did Zhu Zhanji see Yang Zhangde in the crowd, and he understood in his heart.

"I'm here to see His Royal Highness."

When Xu Jingchang heard this, he immediately relaxed and became much more at ease. "This is not a suitable place, His Royal Highness and Commander-in-Chief might as well go in and discuss it in detail."

Ji Gang looked at Zhu Zhanji, and said tentatively: "The minister has prepared a banquet in the restaurant in front, I wonder what your Highness would like?"

If you want to attack the outside world, you can't do without Jin Yiwei's support, so Zhu Zhanji is not displeased. He also wants to get in touch with this ruthless man who left his name in history!

"Your Commander is highly valued by the emperor's grandfather, and Gu has admired him for a long time. How can he live up to his kindness? Let's lead the way."
