Chapter 173
Chapter 0173 Yan King Zhu Di played, and it was all Han King Zhu Di who played the rest!!
Zhu Huan also knew that his cavalry was a little unable to hold his hand, and looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's lack of interest, his face also looked a little embarrassed.
But there is no way, he is not Lao Jiu, there is no way to let all the members of the Hanzhong Army wear armor!
"Lao Jiu, didn't you prepare a gift for Lao San? Take it out! "
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile at this time.
Zhu Li smiled when he heard this, and then waved his big hand, and saw Geng Qing with a small group of people and horses, escorting a carriage directly to him.
"This..."
Zhu looked at the carriage in front of him, his face full of strange expressions.
Could it be that this was given by Lao Jiu to him when he was preparing for the Northern Expedition?
"Third brother, the first time my junior brother came to Taiyuan Mansion, there was nothing to get his hands on, and this carriage prepared a hundred sets of cavalry armor and equipment, which should be a meeting gift for the third brother!"
Zhu Li explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhu Huan's jaw was about to drop!
Boy!
Are the armor and equipment of a hundred sets of cavalry the same as those cavalry of the Hanzhong Army?
If it is true, with this hundred sets of armor and equipment, he can directly improve the combat effectiveness of these eight thousand cavalry under his command by several levels!
Although the number is a little less, there is no way to equip all the personnel, but as long as the main generals can wear it, then the combat effectiveness is definitely not the same!
"Really... It's really a nail stomach and a blunt instrument! "
Zhu stepped forward with excitement on his face, opened the curtain of the carriage and looked in, and all those who came into his eyes were the kind of armor and equipment worn by the Han Zhongjun, and he was overjoyed
"Is the third brother still satisfied with this meeting gift?"
Zhu Li asked with a smile.
"Satisfied... This is simply a blessing in disguise! "
"Ninth brother, the third brother owes you a big favor!"
Zhu Huan nodded hurriedly and said, these words are out of Xia's heart!
"Third brother shouldn't be satisfied with this, right? What if Brother Chen can provide you with more such stomachs and equipment in the future? "
Zhu Li asked with a smile.
"This... Ninth brother, what do you mean by this? "
When Zhu Hui heard this, he was directly stunned on the spot!
"This hundred sets of armor stomach and equipment are not only a meeting gift, but also a sample"
"The courtier has obtained the consent of the emperor, and the stomach and blunt instruments of the Hanzhong production can be sold to the lord of the clan!"
"If the third brother is interested, he can directly place an order for Hanzhong Mansion in the future, as long as the money is in place, other issues are easy to discuss!"
Zhu Li's explanation shocked Zhu Tong even more, and his eyes looked directly at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was laughing 26 on the side without speaking!
Good fellow, it is already a felony for the clan king to privately manufacture weapons, and this kid Lao Jiu actually has to do business with himself in this regard in front of the old man!
And listening to this tone, it was still allowed by the old man!
That's incredible, isn't it?
"What are you doing watching us? As far as your cavalry equipment is concerned, it is indeed time to change."
"When the Northern Expedition is over, you and Lao Jiu will build two arsenals in Xi'an and Taiyuan Provinces, and in the future, we will specially cast armor and weapons for the soldiers of Daming!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words made Zhu Wei even more stunned!
"This... Why did the father choose his sons? "
Zhu Huan's brain is still buzzing!
The old man actually dared to entrust such an important matter to him?
To put it mildly, if the clan king can control the armor stomach and equipment source of the entire imperial court, there will be a possibility of rebellion at that time!
"Only you and Lao Jiu are suitable for this matter!"
"Lao Jiu has technology, you kid has coal!"
"If you want to make good steel, you must burn coal, and there are coal mines in Shaanxi, but they are mainly supplied to the private sector and power plants!"
"You have more coal mines in Shanxi, and it is most suitable to directly create armor weapons"
Zhu Yuanzhang explained with a smile.
"So it is!"
When Zhu Hui heard this, he suddenly showed his expression!
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li can completely find a way to control all the coal mines in Shanxi, but there is no need for that!
First of all, Daming's army does need more armor and weapons, not only the clan kings in various places, but also the imperial court army must be equipped in large quantities!
Therefore, the kind of output of three hundred sets per month in the Hanzhong Military Factory is obviously far from enough!
"Then your kid just said that he wanted to do business with us, and asked us to order your Hanzhong Army's armor and equipment?"
Zhu Huan, who had returned to his senses, turned to Zhu Li again and asked.
"Brother Chen is just giving the third brother a sample! When you turn back to the fourth brother and the seventeenth brother, wouldn't it be better for you to follow what the junior brother just said, and let them place an order for you?" "
"In the future, you and I will each take a percentage of the income of this military factory!"
Zhu Li explained with a smile.
"Oh... Why Issei? "
Zhu Hui was stunned again.
"Third brother, you are a little greedy! The remaining eighty percent are from the imperial court! "
Zhu Li reminded with a smile.
Only then did Zhu Wenyan react, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yuanzhang!
Yes, although the military factories are in their respective fiefdoms, they must nominally belong to the imperial court, and the interests must also be taken by the imperial court!
It is already a great thing that he can manage a military factory and get 10% of the profits!
More importantly, the armor and equipment produced, he can also be used to equip the cavalry under his command!
But soon, Zhu Feng pondered again!
It seems that Zhu Que only accounts for one percent like himself, but it is equivalent to Zhu Que accounting for ninety percent!
If this imperial throne is really given to Lao Jiu in the future, won't the eighty percent of the imperial court be equal to his?
That is to say, among the many clan kings, only his Jin King Zhu Tong can be in charge of the military factory for a long time and produce these armor stomach equipment, and this old nine is already counted!
The old man is now directly using him as a prince to cultivate!
In fact, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li dared to let Zhu Hui participate in the production of nails and equipment was entirely because of the birth of firearms and equipment!
These armor stomachs and equipment are an absolute nightmare for the enemy, but in the face of powerful and sharp firearms, it is not enough to see!
Therefore, neither of them would worry that Zhu Hui dared to have any other thoughts!
This is the crushing of strength!
The part handed over to Zhu Hui for production is just defensive equipment or cold weapons, as long as the hot weapon is controlled by Zhu Li himself, other problems are not a problem!
And Zhu Li just took advantage of this opportunity to win over Zhu, and at the same time, he could also get the support of this third prince!
As long as Zhu gets on this boat, he will be the staunchest supporter of his Han King Zhu Li from now on, and he can't run away from this!
This is also the result that Zhu Yuanzhang hopes to see!
"That's not right! If this military factory belongs to the imperial court, how else can we collect money, Zhu quickly found the contradiction again, and asked in surprise. "
This is like those armored weapons created by the Ministry of Engineering, they are all the industries of the imperial court, even if they are provided to the imperial army or the army of the lord, they are directly transferred and sent, how can the army pay for it?
"Third brother, you are wrong again!"
"Although the military factory is under the control of the imperial court, it is also an independent enterprise. Since it is a business, it needs to be profitable! "
"That is to say, it is also a department of the imperial court, and those who should give money still have to give money, even if the imperial court army wants equipment, it must pay to the account of the military factory!"
"The same is true of the clan king!"
Zhu Li explained with a smile.
"And this?"
Zhu Hui was directly dumbfounded when he heard this!
"In the future, industries such as steel mills, coal plants, and military factories will be designated as state-owned enterprises!"
"These state-owned enterprises are all state enterprises, although they give priority to serving the imperial court and the military, they also need to generate profits to ensure the benign development of enterprises!"
Zhu Li explained with a serious face.
This set of theories was also told to Zhu Yuanzhang when he was in Hanzhong Mansion!
After understanding the advantages of doing so, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally nodded and agreed that the business of the previous country was basically controlled by Hubu, but because it was a small-scale peasant economy, there was actually not much to manage!
But if the industry develops in the future, there will definitely be problems with the management of the household department alone!
Let these industries become separate individuals, also controlled by the state, but able to operate independently, so as to ensure the long-term and stable development of these enterprises
"Old San, don't ask so much, listen to Lao Jiu in the future, he will let you do what you want!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand at this time and reminded Zhu Huan.
"Children obey the order!"
When Zhu Hui heard this, his heart was cold again, and he hurriedly agreed.
Next, Zhu Hui happily accepted this hundred sets of armor and equipment, and directly distributed them to the generals under his command.
Tomorrow is about to go on a campaign, and the eight thousand cavalry he has on hand is simply impossible to hold compared to Zhu Di and Zhu Quan's side!
But with this hundred sets of equipment, it's different!
Even if the old four's 20,000 cavalry, Zhu Ke has the guts to face a rigid front!
In this way, the father and son spent the night in the Jin King Mansion, and early the next morning, Zhu's eight thousand cavalry were also ready to go!
Before leaving, Zhu Hui arranged the affairs of the royal palace and said goodbye to his family, and then followed Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li's army and set off for Beiping Mansion!
From Taiyuan Province to Beiping Province, it is also all the way to the northeast!
It's a thousand miles or so, but because there is no cement road, the march will definitely be slower!
It took five days for the army to come outside Beiping Mansion!
However, what Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li did not expect was that a cement road was also built on the side of Beiping Mansion!
You must know that cement has always been something that only existed in Hanzhong and Xi'an Prefectures before, even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to build roads, cement had to be purchased from the northwest!
This Yan King Zhu Di has not bought cement from the northwest, where did this cement road come from?
The group even saw several cement plants directly in Beiping Province!
That's kind of incredible!
"Lao Jiu, did you tell Lao Si how to make cement?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Li with some surprise.
"Nothing, son-in-law, he doesn't know what's going on!"
Zhu Li shook his head, to be honest, he was still quite shocked in his heart!
How could Zhu Di make cement?
Could it be that he, like the old man, got a system?
Isn't this nonsense?
Zhu Li immediately stopped the carriage, and then went down to the road to carefully look at the cement road under his feet!
Soon, Zhu Li found that such a cement road was much worse than the cement road in his northwest, which should be caused by too many cement impurities or blocking the production substandard!
This made Zhu Li even more surprised!
After he returned to the car, he directly told Zhu Yuanzhang what he had found.
"It seems that this question has to be known after seeing the fourth elder ask!"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said thoughtfully.
Peking Province.
Ning King Zhu Quan and Yan King Zhu Di had already assembled their soldiers and horses, and they were waiting for the arrival of Zhu Yuanzhang's army under the city tower!
After Zhu Quan got Zhu Yuanzhang's letter, he immediately dispatched 60,000 Yan Sanwei and went straight to Beiping Mansion, first joining the Yan King Zhu Di!
"Fourth brother, why are all cement roads in your Beiping Mansion? Brother Chen remembers that this cement should be produced in the northwest, right? "
"Did you also buy this cement from Ninth Brother?"
Zhu Quan was Zhu Li's little disguise, and after he took office, he sent people to Hanzhong Mansion to buy cement, and also built cement roads in Daning Mansion.
In his opinion, the reason why Zhu Di was able to build a cement road should also be because he went to the northwest to buy it!
"Haha, you're wrong! These cements are all produced by the fourth brother himself! "
"What his old nine can come up with, Fourth Brother can also get it!"
When Zhu Di heard this, his heart was proud!
To talk about this cement, you still have to thank Yao Guangxiao!
This monk really had the ability, just got some cement from other places, and after studying it for a while, he really let him study the method of making this cement!
The main thing is that as long as there is a heart for cement, it is not difficult to study it, and it is easier to produce!
Yao Guangxiao found that the cement produced by Zhu Que, such as lime powder or volcanic ash, was much easier to mix!
It took him a few months to actually mix cement.
Although it is not as good as the Hanzhong side in terms of grade, it is still no problem to meet the use of paved roads!
This is also why Zhu Di is so proud.
At this moment, smoke and dust rose in front, and tens of thousands of cavalry soon appeared in the sight of Zhu Di and Zhu Quan 203!
I saw tens of thousands of iron cavalry troops of the Hanzhong army advancing neatly towards Beiping City, and when they were about to approach, a large number of cavalry separated left and right, and a luxurious carriage drove towards Zhu Di and Zhu Quan!
"All officials and generals, follow King Ben!"
"Seventeenth brother, greet the holy driver!"
Zhu Di said to everyone at this time, and took the lead to greet him!
When Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the luxurious carriage, everyone knelt down one after another to greet the holy driver!
"Let's all be disrespectful!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand!
Then Geng Qing, who was in charge of catching the carriage, directly lowered the pedal in front of the carriage, and a cavalry soldier turned over and dismounted, spreading the folded splint to the ground!
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang take Zhu Li and Zhu Hui down from the carriage.
Mainly because of this northern expedition, Zhu Li deliberately raised the chassis of this carriage a lot, and also installed a spring shock absorber, so that the carriage will not feel too bumpy when traveling!
The last time he went to the west, it was because of the bumps that made Zhu Yuanzhang's whole person tired a lot, and even his appetite decreased, and Zhu Li naturally had to make sufficient preparations this time!
It's not a matter of always giving the old man the Gu Pill, after all, it always feels uncomfortable!
After all, not everywhere has such a smooth road as the northwest!
"Children see the emperor of the father!"
Zhu Di and Zhu Quan had already come to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time, and the two brothers looked at Zhu Yuanzhang at the same time and paid homage again!
"Okay, no need to be polite!"
"Fourth, we just arrived in Beiping Mansion and saw that there are many cement roads outside your city, as well as factories that produce cement!"
"Where did you come from this cement production recipe?"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and then directly asked Zhu Di the question he was most concerned about!
He wondered if it was Lao Si, the kid, who sent someone to Hanzhong Mansion to steal Lao Jiu's technology, right?
"Sons dare not hide it, this cement was obtained by the Daoyan Institute of the Wanshou Temple!"
Zhu Di couldn't help but explain to Zhu Yuanzhang with a proud look about Yao Guangxiao's research on cement.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Hui looked at each other when they heard this, and their eyes couldn't help but focus directly on Zhu Li.
Zhu Li's face did not change much, but he was still surprised that Yao Guangxiao was really smart enough!
He can actually draw the gourd like this, and really let him mix the formula of cement!
Although it is a little shoddy, at least the direction is indeed right, as long as he is given a little more time, maybe he can really mix cement like Hanzhong!
This old monk is also a talent, and he really deserves to be a famous black-clothed prime minister in history!
It's a pity that there are no patent rights in this era, and since this cement was researched by Yao Guangxiao, he didn't have much to say!
However, this also sounded a wake-up call for Zhu Li.
He had never underestimated the wisdom of the ancients, but he still underestimated Yao Guang!
Fortunately, cement, the simplest technology, even if Zhu Di learns it, it is not a big deal.
Reinforced concrete, Beiping Fu is always gone, right?
To put it bluntly, Zhu Di is also playing the rest of his Han King!
