My Daming New Empire

So he didn't want his time this year to be wasted, and wanted to arrange him into the formation of his engineering school.

Because of the new ideas brought by Zhu Zhanji, Xie Zhenqi will not become a corrupt Confucian after the period.But Zhu Zhanji hopes that he can be exposed to more influences from different disciplines in the process of establishing the university.

Only ministers who have been exposed to the influence of new thinking will be reused by Zhu Zhanji in the future.

After leaving Xie's house, Zhu Zhanji came to the Xiyi Research Institute at Xiamaqiao Farm.

This research institute has just been established, and it belongs to a hodgepodge of research institutes.

Zhu Zhanji will not give these people the opportunity to form a group together. Their most important task now is to learn Chinese well and then prepare lessons. Of course, everyone is assigned to different research institutes by Zhu Zhanji according to their different specialties.

Among them, the Institute of Shipbuilding, the Institute of Chemistry, the Institute of Gewu, and the Institute of Architecture have the most people.

And these people, as long as they enter the research institute, they will be on a thief ship, and they will never have the chance to get off the ship.

Zhu Zhanji will never allow them to learn the technology of Ming Dynasty and have the opportunity to return to Europe.

And the new technologies and thinking brought by them will also bring new brainstorms to these researchers in Daming.

The Renaissance, let’s start with Daming!

Carl Soli has been full of energy in recent days. He was appointed by Zhu Zhanji as the chief planner of the Royal Academy of Engineering and the arena.

Participating in the construction of a new university or designing an arena for 10 people will be the most glorious moment of his life.

However, his design was severely restricted by Zhu Zhanji from the very beginning, because Zhu Zhanji absolutely did not allow him to build a completely Western-style arena.

Moreover, the arena that Zhu Zhanji wants to build is completely different from the Roman arena. That arena is used for fighting and killing animals, so naturally it does not need a large venue.

However, Zhu Zhanji requested that not only a football field measuring 100 meters by 66 meters flow out from the center of the field, but also that eight running tracks should be set aside outside the football field.

In addition to the size limit, Zhu Zhanji also asked him to strictly follow the design advantages of the Roman Colosseum, and design no less than [-] entrances and exits for the stadium.

The design concept of the Roman Colosseum is very advanced, and the design concepts of the large stadiums of later generations are basically inherited from it.

An arena with 9 people has 10 entrances, and it can be emptied in [-] minutes, which is unmatched by many gymnasiums in later generations.

In addition to these hardware requirements, in other aspects, Zhu Zhanji handed over to Carl Soli to play by himself.He also arranged for architectural experts from Daming to work with him to design a style that combines the East and the West.

As for the school, Zhu Zhanji is also planning to adopt double-layer and three-story buildings with concrete structures. There will definitely be more and more students in this school in the future. It is necessary to design a huge capacity first, otherwise, it will be more difficult to expand in the future. difficult.

The entire south of Zhongshan is the imperial mausoleum area, and only after passing through the Linggu Temple can civil engineering be built.

Today's Yingtianfu center is in the west of the city, but when this school develops, there will be more and more people here in the future.

Except for the imperial mausoleum, Zhu Zhanji is going to build an education center for the entire Ming Dynasty around Zhongshan. Such a treasure land of geomantic omen cannot be wasted.

When returning to the palace from the Xiamaqiao Farm, it was already sunset. As soon as the convoy entered the Chaoyang Gate, they met Zhu Gaochi's close eunuch He Chun riding a horse, and hurried out of the city with only four guards.

Zhu Gaochi was deeply influenced by Confucianism, and he didn't pay much attention to his servants. Although He Chun was his close eunuch, but because he didn't pay much attention to him, and because he didn't have a high status in the palace, He Chun was far worse than his side Li. Liang, let alone Jin Kuo, one of the twelve eunuchs.

He Chun was thin and thin, and his horse was precarious. When he saw Zhu Zhanji's convoy, he quickly reined in his horse, trotted over, and said happily: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness has urgent inquiries, and I specially ordered my servants to find His Highness."

Seeing him sweating profusely, Zhu Zhanji asked, "Do you know why?"

He Chun looked at the servants and guards around Zhu Zhanji, and said softly: "His Royal Highness just received news that His Highness sent people to detain several major grain merchants, and later discussed with Master Yang, and came to find His Highness. "

Zhu Zhanji smiled, what should come will always come.Although he is a dead-headed person, as a son, he always obeys him no matter what.

Even if he forces himself to do what he doesn't want to do, he can push it to Zhu Di.

"Li Liang, give He Shaojian four silver coins, and the remaining four will give each of them two silver coins."

He Chun and the four guards behind him hurriedly saluted and thanked Zhu Zhanji for his horse. When Zhu Zhanji's horse passed by, the four of them put the silver coins into their arms and got on the horse as well.

Nowadays, the purchasing power of silver is still very high, the young eunuchs in the palace only have two or three silver coins a month, and they still have to honor their master.

Li Liang was a young eunuch, and their salary was only seven taels of silver, that is, seven silver coins. For a big eunuch like Jin Kuo, it was less than 20 taels a month.

Of course, most of them don't rely on their salaries to live on. In the palace, all board and lodging expenses are covered, and they still have a lot of money on weekdays.

But like He Chun, the grandma doesn't love his uncle, and there are few people who respect him, so four silver coins are not too little.

After entering Donghua Gate, Zhu Zhanji didn't go back to the palace to change clothes, but came to Wenhua Palace in riding clothes.

Wenhua Hall and Wenyuan Pavilion belonged to the front palace, civil servants and guards who had palace badges could still enter, but there were many restrictions, so Zhu Gaochi still liked to meet his subjects at Zhanshi Mansion most of the time.

When Zhu Zhanji came to the main hall in front of him, several young eunuchs were busy passing the number. "His Royal Highness is here..."

He Chun trotted over and led Zhu Zhanji into the side hall.

This place has also been rebuilt a long time ago, and the layout inside is similar to the reception room in the great hall of later generations.Except for the sofa in the main seat, there is a sofa and a coffee table on both sides below. The cotton stuffed inside the fabric sofa is very comfortable to sit on.

In addition to Zhu Zhanji, there were Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu sitting inside, and when they saw Zhu Zhanji, they got up to say hello.

Zhu Zhanji returned a half salute, and then saluted Zhu Gaochi above: "I have seen my father."

Zhu Gaochi seemed indignant, he just waved his hand and said, "Do you still remember that I am your father?"

Zhu Zhanji knelt down with a plop. "I don't know what the child did wrong, which made the father furious, and I ask the father to rest assured."

Although Zhu Gaochi was angry, he was shocked when he saw Zhu Zhanji like this. He stood up quickly and wanted to help him up. "What are you doing? I...don't blame you..."

Zhu Zhanji didn't dare to ask him to help him, so he quickly got up by himself, and helped him sit on the sofa, and couldn't help laughing secretly.

This Zhu Gaochi is a good old man, a nerd, although he has some opinions on his son, but the father and son are connected, and he still really loves him.

Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu were also taken aback when they saw Zhu Zhanji's actions.Although the prince is the father of the grandson, if the grandson is punished without reason, the emperor will never forgive the prince lightly.

But when Zhu Zhanji took advantage of the situation to get up and staged a harmonious father-son show with Zhu Gaochi, the two of them looked at each other and couldn't help sighing.

The grandson's kneeling directly dispelled the prince's arrogance that had been brewing for a long time.Before the matter was dealt with, the prince was discouraged. One can imagine the result.

This grandson is really hard to deal with!He used tricks against his own father, and it would be very difficult to change his mind.

Let Zhu Zhanji sit in the first position on the left hand, and Zhu Gaochi's rapid heartbeat calmed down.

In any case, the person in front of him is his favorite son, how can he hurt the relationship between father and son because of outsiders?

With this thought in mind, Zhu Gaochi's tone became much gentler. "Zhan Ji, I just heard today that because of Ma Qi's corruption of food, you actually sent people to arrest all the merchants who cooperated with him in the food business."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Father, you may not know that this is not a cooperative food business, but a trade in stolen goods. And it is not ordinary stolen goods, but life-saving food for the people of Shandong. How can I be so devoid of conscience? Please spare them!"

Zhu Gaochi froze for a moment, then said again: "Life-saving food... Where do you start with this?"

"Father should know that in 15 years, the Yellow River took the Daqing River into the sea, and half of Shandong was flooded, right?"

"Of course I know. I lived in Beiping that year. The flood did not disappear until autumn and winter. I also waited for the flood to disappear before I came back from Peiping. It has been more than two years, and it has been restored long ago. lost the prosperity of the past?"
