"I think it's time to harvest now."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were solemn: "After the Jinke Palace Examination, the Ministry of Jinli will be admitted to the Wenhua Palace as bachelors, and the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War will be merged. This matter must be arranged in advance."

The topic seemed to be suddenly drawn from the distant Taiping Mansion back to Yingtian Chaotang.

Zhu Biao looked sideways at the old man and nodded: "The Ministry of Rites has already announced that this year we will recruit students from all over the world for the emperor to become his disciples."

"Since ancient times, rare things have been valued." Zhu Yuanzhang muttered softly, and suddenly chuckled: "How can all living beings be noble or low outside of my family."

The emperor's body of thousands of chariots and tens of thousands of gold is of course indescribably precious.

Zhu Biao looked solemn and then said: "It's time to discuss matters with the six ministries."

Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry. He turned around and his voice reached the prince's ears.

"I issued an edict to reprimand the King of Qin for his ineffectiveness in handling affairs and delaying the development of the country. He was fined three years' salary."

Be quick.

Be steady.

While you still have breath and can still shock the world, you must do everything that needs to be done and lay the foundation for your children and grandchildren.

Zhu Biao smiled silently.

The old man has been so strong all his life.

You can never change it in your lifetime.

……

"You probably won't be able to do your job of walking around the Wenhua Palace for a few more years."

There are three poles in the sun, hanging high above your head.

Zhu Yunxi, who had been driving all morning, finally slowed down, looked at Jie Jin beside him, and said lightly.

Jie Jin turned his head in confusion, with curiosity and suspicion on his face.

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly: "It has been twenty years since the Ming Dynasty. Zhan Hui and his gang can be regarded as capable ministers who have carried forward the past and made them stable. However, they have been in charge of the center of the court for many years, or they are old, or have problems with

If the development of the government is inconsistent with the development of the government, honor and retirement will come step by step."

I was still thinking about what would happen when I took my grandson to see the steam engine.

Xie Jin was stunned when he heard this.

Will the Ming Dynasty begin to replace the old with the new again?

When was the last time?

After thinking about it for a while, Xie Jin trembled all over.

The last change of power in the court resulted in bloodshed in Yingtian City.

The position of prime minister became history in the hands of the Ming Emperor. In those years, there were countless incidents, and the emperor's authority truly reached its peak, and he completely controlled the entire Central Plains.

Zhu Yunxi stared at Xie Jin silently and said quietly: "It's not as scary as you think. Ming Dynasty is very kind now. The old man has been strong for a lifetime. Although he is old now, his spirit is stronger than before. No one dares to touch it."

Touch the old man’s brow.”

Xie Jin frowned and thought again.

It seems that there has indeed been less killing in Yingtian City in the past two years. In other words, in the 24th and 25th years of Hongwu, there have been some twists and turns in Yingtian City.

But soon, with things such as conquering the Japanese country in the east, going south to Jiaozhi, and working as farmers, the atmosphere in the court gradually changed a lot.

Xie Jin was about to speak.

There was already a sound of gongs and drums coming from the front.

Along with this, groups of people with red faces and colorful faces came from all around.

"I see His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun."

They are the officials and miner leaders in the Taipingfu mining area, as well as the general supervisors, officials and craftsmen who work at the research institute here.

With just one glance, Zhu Yunxi, who was riding on horseback, saw the eighth-grade official Zhang craftsman in the crowd, whose face was as red as a red lantern.

"You have worked hard here and are alone in this imperial court. I thank you."

After getting off the horse, Zhu Yunxi clasped his hands together and bowed in the direction of Yingtian City.

In front of you, everyone is bowing here.

"The ministers/commons, serving the imperial court, are responsible for their responsibilities. They will not give up even if they die, and they dare not talk about their hard work."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and waved to everyone to get up.

And he is looking at the mining area behind everyone.

Countless officers and soldiers of the Taiping Prefecture's Jianyang Guards were walking up and down the mountain. In the mining area, there was a Japanese miner with a cloth wrapped around his crotch, naked upper body, dark complexion, and holding a pickaxe, spade, and drill.

The Minjin miner leaders who came here without hearing the news held long whips in their hands and whipped them in the air from time to time, making sharp sounds, which scared the Japanese miners who did not dare to retain any strength to mine the ore.

.

In the distance, in a whole area of ​​workshops, there are countless chimneys spewing black smoke.

The coal transported from Zhongdu provides a steady stream of energy to melt the ore and smelt the mineral water, which is screened and turned into a pure metal solution.

A mining area already contains the most advanced steel industry technology in Ming Dynasty.

Removing sulfur from coal, smelting and screening of ore.

Even behind the smelting workshop, there is a steel production workshop for ordnance and farm tools that makes constant noise.

And in the most secluded and secluded place, it is also the place where Jianyang Guards are most heavily guarded.

Zhu Yunxi said nothing and waved to Craftsman Zhang: "That's the research institute over there? Take me to see the steam engine first."

When the grandson spoke, the group of people naturally did not dare to say anything, nor did they dare to say that they wanted to help the grandson first.

A crowd of people arrived outside the institute.

Most of the people were blocked outside by the officers and soldiers of Jianyang Guard. Except for a few people with official status, the only ones who could enter were those who would serve as prisoners.

Craftsman Zhang’s face is glowing today.

Ever since he became the first craftsman in the Ming Dynasty to become an official craftsman because of an agreement, he felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

But don’t think, that’s just the beginning.

Now I am about to reach a new peak.

Craftsman Zhang's voice was trembling with joy, and he led Zhu Yunxi into a heavily surrounded house: "Your Highness... this... this, this, this... this is a steam engine."

Zhu Yunxi smiled helplessly and stretched out his hand: "Slow down first and watch by yourself for a while."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi ignored these people and walked straight to the huge steel beast that was the only one in the room.

As the first successful steam engine in the Ming Dynasty.

The one currently placed in front of Zhu Yunxi is much taller than him, with a wider arm and a length of ten feet.

With just one glance, Zhu Yunxi determined that this thing must weigh at least several tons.

Transportation is a big problem!

Feeling a little solemn in his heart, Zhu Yunxi continued to look at it.

The drawings of the steam engine were originally given to Craftsman Zhang by myself.

Combustion chamber, water chamber, air outlet pipe, power chamber, work shaft, etc.

The thermal energy is converted into steam pressure by boiling water, and then enters the power chamber and passes through the working shaft to be output as kinetic energy.

It sounds complicated.

But a simple steam engine can do enough as long as it solves this energy conversion process.

Looking at the huge pipes connected by rivets, Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and said softly: "Let's light it up."

As soon as the general supervisor at the other end was about to light the coal in the combustion chamber, Zhang Jiangguan jumped out from the side and snatched the job.

In a short time, a raging fire broke out in the huge combustion chamber.

Zhu Yunxi was not anxious, so those present did not dare to speak out.

When the water chamber made the sound of gurgling cold water turning into boiling water, Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up.

Bursts of noise came from this primitive steam engine.

That's the sound of energy moving.

Then, there was a squeaking sound, followed by wisps of white water vapor squeezed out from the rivet-welded pipe connections.

Finally, the work shaft in the power room began to make a roaring sound. At the power output position outside, a rotating shaft began to rotate slowly, driving a huge stone mill to move.

There is no problem with energy production.

There is no problem with energy conversion.
