Chapter 113 Arrival
In the next few days, Zhu Di would occasionally inform Qin Feng of all suggestions on all aspects of Qin Feng's trip to Peking.
Zhu Di would not only listen to Qin Feng's opinions on this issue, but he was afraid he had asked for advice from many aspects.
After taking Zhu Di’s salary, he would still have to help others share their worries.
For Zhu Di’s problem, you just need to tell the truth.
One is the population problem of Peking. Just migrate the population from other places and have a livelihood to do. In more than ten years, Peking will no longer be troubled by population and labor.
Since the Hongwu period, there have been several large-scale population migrations.
People are unwilling to be migrated, and they are out of the local complex. They are also worried about illness, injuries, or even death caused by various reasons along the way. After all, there was no means of transportation at that time. No matter how far they migrate, they could only rely on hiking.
Therefore, based on various reasons, the further away the migrating place, the more intense people's resistance will be.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of migration and to ensure that these people can quickly join the construction of Peiping after migration to Peiping, they must migrate from around Peiping.
The most important prerequisite for migration is that the local population must be full.
If you are satisfied with these two conditions, the only place you can migrate is Shanxi.
There is Luliang Mountain in the west and Taihang Mountain in the east. It is the least affected by the wars at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Compared with Shandong, Henan and Hebei, there are less than 2 million people, while Shanxi has a total of more than 4 million.
The most important thing is that since the Hongwu period, Emperor Taizu Gao had moved from Jinzhong to southern Jin Dynasty to Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places.
Until this time, the migration of the people was not completed.
The additional migrants in Peiping will be more acceptable than starting from a new beginning.
After Qin Feng's sensible analysis, Zhu Di did not comment and did not show it on the spot.
But after Qin Feng said this, Zhu Di arranged for the inner servant to add tea to Qin Feng.
As for whether I am satisfied with Qin Feng’s suggestion, it is unknown.
The second question Zhu Di asked was about Zhigu.
If Peking is just a frontier fortress, then Zhigu's function is to transport some food, grass and military soldiers.
If the capital is moved, then Peking will be the center of politics, economy, military and cultural.
Taxation and silver, promotion of officials, imperial examinations, etc., must be carried out in Peking.
Therefore, it is necessary to be able to fully communicate with the north and south.
At present, waterways are the most convenient mode of transportation, and Zhigu, as an important channel for waterways to enter Beijing, must have the strength to support the capital.
In fact, the construction of Zhigu is only two points in summary.
First, public security is reliable.
In order to improve public security, in addition to being honest and upright officials at all levels, they also have to be guarded by heavy troops.
Therefore, it is necessary to add a garage station in Zhigu.
The increase in garrisons is also convenient for the rapid deployment of troops to reinforce Peiping after the war begins.
The second is to build a place to stock up.
If the goods transported to Zhigu, if you want to transport them to Peiping, you can only use a small boat.
Compared with sea boats transporting goods, small boats are just dropping a drop in the bucket.
I want to use a small boat to transport all the cargo of the big boat to Peiping, I am afraid it will take at least half a month.
During this half month, these goods have to be found to be stored.
As long as these two items can be completed, Zhigu, as an important waterway hub connecting the southern part of Peking, will be achieved.
After saying all the suggestions that could be considered, Qin Feng began to be responsible for the construction of the ordnance.
If Zhu Di did not hand over the improvement of the firearms to him, he might be able to watch the development of the future.
Now that Zhu Di has handed over this matter to him, even if he is a monk and hits a bell for a day, he has to take this matter seriously and responsibly.
This is not only fulfilling the promise to Zhu Di, but also responsible for the rise of hot weapons in later generations.
After all, even if he only invented the flintlock rifle in advance, future generations could improve the technology of the flintlock rifle earlier.
Just as Qin Feng led several students from the Science School and brought a craftsman to study the structure of the flintlock rifle, the court's report came directly.
The ordnance is also a government office affiliated with the court, and the court will have their own payment when distributing the receipt.
This report was sent by Zhu Di after he issued the imperial edict.
There are only two things above the report, and these two things were made by Qin Feng before.
First, we moved 10,000 households in Taiyuan, Pingyang, Zezhou, Luzhou, Qinzhou, and Fenzhou in Shanxi to Beijing.
Second, Tianjin Guards were established and Zhigu was stationed. At the same time, 1,400 Lutou stations were established in Zhigu to save goods.
After Qin Feng read the deposit report first, he handed the deposit report to Zeng Qi and several other disciples.
After several disciples passed the report, Zeng Qi took the lead and said, "Since his mentor returned to Beijing, His Majesty has repeatedly summoned the ministers of Jie Sect and several Wenyuan Pavilion to inquire about issues related to Peking. The ministers of Jie Sect and several ministers of Jie Sect and only these two kinds of proposals."
It is very unlikely that all the ministers of Wenyuan Pavilion all support the move of the capital to Peiping, but if the capital is to be appointed as the capital for advice, the results will still be similar.
Qin Feng smiled slightly, without much bragging, and replied indifferently: "Your Majesty has also asked me, and this is almost the same as my answer."
The idea that the emperor can adopt it at least means that it can be thought of as much as the emperor.
Qin Feng spoke, and Zeng Qi and his disciples would not have any doubts except to admire him.
As the few people flattered, Qin Feng smiled and raised his hand to stop him, "Okay, there is a dedicated person to take charge of the matters in Peking. We just need to do our part."
Although Zeng Qi and his friends were active in a central organization like Wenyuan Pavilion, Qin Feng usually communicated with them about science and never communicated privately about the affairs of the court.
Even if we have to communicate, it is when the court sends a report and results are achieved.
This is also a kind of protection for them. If they cannot even keep secrets in such a confidential position, they will easily ruin their political career.
Qin Feng spoke, and the few people stopped talking too much about this.
They were just learning in Wenyuan Pavilion. If they had questions they didn’t understand, they could also ask Xie Jin and those who didn’t understand.
In addition to Xie Jin and the others, they are not disgusted with science, and occasionally they have scientific questions to ask Zeng Qi and the others.
Moreover, as the best among the new scholars, Zeng Qi and others have an unlimited future in the future. If you get along well with Zeng Qi and others, it will be much better than many enemies.
After letting go of the report, Qin Feng focused on explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the mecha-rope and the flintlock rifle he planned.
"The flint gun needs to ignite the flint to ignite the flint, and the lead bullet inside is fired through the flint, and the flint gun relies directly on the flint on the hammer to generate sparks to achieve the same effect as the flint ignition. The benefits are self-evident."
The firing speed is fast, so it is carried and not affected by the weather. These benefits are both from craftsmen from the military bureau and from Zeng Shi and several scientific students.
The most urgent thing now is to consider how to create a flintlock rifle.
Qin Feng spoke, Zeng Qi then spoke, saying: "The theory mentioned by the teacher is not a problem. The only thing that needs to be considered is how to make the flintlock hammer that the teacher said can hit the flint. Whether it is the distance from the hammer to the flint or the distance from the flint to the gunpowder, there is only one problem, and it cannot successfully fire the lead bullet."
This is indeed a key factor in the successful manufacturing of flintlock rifles.
However, Qin Feng has been traveling through time for more than two years.
In the past two years, although he has not really made the flintlock rifle, he has deduced countless formulas and has really considered the problems Zeng Qi mentioned.
After living for a lifetime, he did not have the confidence to successfully rebel here, but he must at least always grasp some things that are ahead of the present.
This can be regarded as his confidence.
Once anything beyond his control occurs, he can use these things to continue to dominate the overall situation.
As a time traveler, he cannot continue to be led by others.
Qin Feng smiled slightly and first praised Zeng Qi's thinking-minded personality.
A disciple of science must be able to think.
Afterwards, Qin Feng asked a question and asked: "What formulas do you think you need to calculate when you create this flintlock rifle?"
In the end, no matter whether you want to do it or not, you must at least know how to do it.
On this rigorous issue, even Zhou Mengjian, who has always been talking, dared not speak rashly.
After a pause for a while, Zeng Qi, who has always been learning more solidly, then he replied first: "We should consider some problems in mechanics, how big a hammer can hit the flint, and how big a gunpowder can shoot at how far apart. In addition, we should also consider the length of the barrel, what material barrel is not easy to explode, and what kind of barrel can be fired multiple times without any problems caused by untimely heat dissipation."
It is not easy to consider so many issues when you first come into contact with a firearm.
Zeng Qi said everything he should say, and the others were left with all their support.
"Do you guys still have something to add?"
In his science, what he advocates most is to speak freely.
Even if it is illogical and the words are not right, as long as you dare to say it.
Science is about creating miracles, and it can ensure that something that is illogical now will not be realized one day in the future.
Qin Feng said that after several students of science were silent for a moment, Zhou Mengjian took the lead and said: "Mr., students have learned the best in physics. Students volunteer to calculate these and will calculate all the data of the flintlock within half a month."
It would be quite good if you could calculate these within half a month.
Qin Feng calculated the thank you data, which took almost a year.
After several calculations, I found that the calculation could not be returned, so I could only recalculate it.
It took almost a year to go back and forth several times.
