Chapter 283 Progress of the Sky Garden (Please subscribe!)

After returning to Chengtian Mansion after a long absence, Zhu Kezang immediately went to inspect the construction site of the Hanging Garden.

"Labor is the source of happiness!"

"Work sets me free!"

Looking at the hard-working Burmese and Siamese from a distance, Zhu Kezang felt that it was right for him to attack Nanyang first.

How comfortable it is to exploit so much cheap labor!

Zhu Kezang saw the laborers happy, and the fanatical Ministry of Industry Minister Lu Fan next to him was even more happy, because the progress of the hanging garden project was visibly fast, this is the speed of the Ming Dynasty!

Lu Fan is brainwashed by Zhu Kezang every day. His biggest wish now is to create a world-famous work of art, and the Hanging Garden undoubtedly allows Lu Fan to see this possibility.

What a beautiful building!

After seeing the drawings, Lu Fan almost stayed up and slept on the construction site even at night, because for him, he already had the power, and what he lacked now was a work that could prove that he would be immortal.

Good guy, in order to facilitate his own miracles, a Confucian scholar was trained by Zhu Kezang to become a technocrat.

Zhu Kezang's second stop was naturally the Ming Dynasty Royal Manufacturing Administration, the most important and most heavily defended place in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Su Laocheng on the side took out a hammer, walked over, and hammered the cement on the left hard, about five or six times, and the solidified cement block cracked.

Everyone couldn't help but worry: "Your Majesty..."

The Ming Dynasty is eternal, the Ming Dynasty is eternal!

Good, good, good!

Zhu Kezang unconsciously stepped harder, whistling like wind around each factory!

In the distance, under the leadership of the tireless Ming Dynasty supervisors, the Burmese and Siamese people who worked were still enthusiastic. Slogans such as "Work hard and become Ming people!" were often heard among these coolies.

.

When Zhu Kezang saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up: Bicycle!

"I know this, so it's okay. Just go and apply for the budget according to the planned cement road. You don't have to worry about money. You don't have to worry about people. Take my instructions and go to the Naturalization Department of the Ministry of Household to ask for people.

The natives of Nanyang are abundant in labor force, and only the General Administration of Manufacturing needs them, so they can hire as many people as they want."

Seeing that the layout was almost complete, Zhu Kezang was about to go home from get off work and rest, but Su Laocheng said mysteriously: "Your Majesty, don't leave yet, there is something else I would like you to take a look at."

"What the Emperor said is absolutely true!"

Zhu Kezang was so happy that he didn't even bother to say anything and just rode happily in the empty factory area!

The others looked at his posture and saw that they were all smart people. They didn't know the purpose of the bicycle and its importance to the Ming Dynasty. They all clapped their hands so hard that their palms turned red!

Some of the craftsmen had already known about the research and invention of bicycles, and the bicycle that Zhu Kezang rode was already a mass-produced model, that is, a model that could be sold on a large scale.

To be able to manufacture bicycles, in addition to the equipment of the steel mill, the most important thing is the batch of rubber trees exchanged by Zhu Kezang, otherwise the tires will be a big problem.

Zhu Kezang rushed over quickly and sat on it.

So far, only flintlock and grenade factories have been established in Guangzhou. Other equipment is highly classified and cannot be moved there so quickly.

In fact, it was ready to be produced last month, but the craftsman Su Laocheng refused to let it be born, saying that he had to wait until the emperor came back. This is the emperor's car, the emperor's hard work, and only the emperor can make it come out!

The car logo is a circle with a portrait of the car on the top, "Da Ming Eternal" in the middle, and the year 1683 below!

I hammered the cement on the right again, about a dozen times, before cracks appeared.

These two people were happy, but the old eunuch Li Zhongjie next to them looked sad.

The production of flintlock muskets, electric rifles, shotguns, various steel artillery, rockets, grenades and other military equipment is all here.

Don't underestimate the people of the Ming Dynasty Royal Manufacturing Bureau. Influenced by Zhu Kezang, they are considered the strongest technological brains of this era.

Seeing the emperor coming to inspect the work, they quickly came over with two samples of cement.

"It doesn't matter."

While riding and observing the world's first bicycle, Zhu Kezang discovered that it even had a logo on it.

I saw people below carrying a car up.

Zhu Kezang took a deep breath. It seems that cement is also making progress!

"Including food for the coolies, a total of more than 30,000 Shenwu Tongbao has been spent this month alone!" After Zhu Kezang walked around the construction site, the old eunuch said with a pained face.

By the way, the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty were full of energy and improved the cement formula.

Zhu Kezang remembered that a few months ago, he gave the sketch of the bicycle to the Royal Manufacturing Bureau of the Ming Dynasty and asked the craftsmen to study it on their own. He did not expect that it would actually be made.

Moreover, was there someone who was deceived by Ma Hetai from the Qing Dynasty to hunt for high-skilled craftsmen?

He kicked his feet on the ground a few times, and the bicycle began to move. Everyone watched with horror.

“Don’t always think about how much money you can save, think more about ideas for making money.”

You cannot save money on building roads. If you want to be rich, you must build roads first!

Among the crowd, Su Laocheng was surprised and surprised because the two-wheeled bicycle would fall to the ground without putting the pedals on and was very unstable. Most people have never learned to ride a bicycle, so it is difficult to find the right balance. They must practice it.

After sitting on it, Zhu Kezang felt as if he had returned to the 21st century.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Kezang couldn't help but sigh to Lu Fan, the Minister of Industry beside him: "Building wonders is really a happy thing. Look how happy they are."

Relying on Zhu Kezang's scrawled sketch, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty Royal Manufacturing Company polished the bicycle amidst the discussion.

Su Laocheng said: "Your Majesty, the hardness of the improved cement is already very good, but the biggest problem now is the excavation of raw materials. First, it requires a lot of manpower, and second, it requires a lot of money for support."

As they looked around, they didn't notice that it was already noon, and the sun was shining warmly in the sky.

"You only waste 30,000 Shenwu Tongbao in a month. Lao Li, you can control the cost."

"Alas!" Looking at the two monarchs and ministers in front of them, Lao Li sighed quietly.

Zhu Kezang said rather heartlessly.

Hearing this, the old eunuch was speechless for a moment. Indeed, the new Ming Dynasty could reach this point only by relying on Emperor Zhu Kezang's various whimsical ideas to make money, otherwise this broken ship would have capsized long ago.

No wonder he worked so hard, it turned out that he was trying to get the "green card" from Ming Dynasty.

Like Zhu Kezang, he stepped on it and walked away, so flexible and free that he didn't have to worry about falling to the ground.

It seemed like he had been riding for who knows how long.

It took Su Laocheng two or three days of practice before he could completely master the riding technique. He could only explain this situation by saying that the emperor was extremely talented and an unusual person.

Of course he didn't know that Zhu Kezang had ridden various sports bicycles in later generations, and his soul had long been bound to bicycles.
