Lu Chensheng nodded again and again, Wang Tianxun was still very reliable in his work.

"That's the plan, but the Ministry of Industry doesn't have much money left, and I hope the Ministry of Households can allocate another two or three million yuan."

After finishing speaking, Wang Tianxun mentioned the matter of money smoothly.

Li Daifu jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on.

"Well, you bastard, you are already leaving 800 million taels of silver this year, and you still want more money! Are you shameless?"

Now asking for 200 million taels of silver, the other party has already asked for 1000 million taels of silver this year!

If this was done in the past, the Xinghan Empire's annual income would not be able to fill this hole!

"You can see all the money the old man spent! You don't even look at how many people and cement are needed to build these dams!"

When Wang Tianxun heard this, he also said excitedly.

"Manpower? Don't those Tartars have so many captives, what kind of manpower do you need?"

These captives, how much money is left over!

You just need to take care of some food. Although it still costs money, it can save a lot of money anyway.

"How many captives are there? Now it needs a place to start construction together. Otherwise, if the dam is built before next summer, how can it be built?"

When Wang Tianxun heard this, he immediately responded angrily.

Isn't this nonsense!

The manpower of Tartar is only tens of thousands. He wants to start construction in several places at the same time, and the water storage capacity exceeds one billion cubic meters. Such a project is even more huge and abnormal.

There are some huge stones that have to be pulled over, which is also very expensive!

"Okay, okay, isn't there still a lot of money in the household department, let's allocate 200 million."

Lu Chensheng rubbed his forehead, interrupting the quarrel between the two.

Li Daifu was a little dissatisfied, and gave Wang Tianxun a hard look.

Wang Tianxun didn't care too much, he won anyway? The 200 million taels of silver got it? He can spend another period of time with peace of mind.

"This year's population is not bad? But it's still a bit too small? People from the Ministry of Households are going to issue an edict to let the people have more births, right?"

Lu Chensheng thought for a while, and then said something.

Counting the time, those girls who were not able to get married? Now it's time to get married.

In addition to the current tax exemption? It is still quite friendly to the common people? Adding new varieties of grain?

The common people have more children? If they can help cultivate the land? The area of ​​cultivated land will increase a lot, at least there will be no children starving to death.

Where is the hospital? The medical books compiled by those doctors are almost the same now.

Now it has spread to various medical clinics? It allows doctors to learn, and adds a lot of treatment methods for illnesses.

If there is no disease and you can eat enough? It is not a problem to have more children.

Li Daifu naturally had no objection.

The Xinghan Empire is vast and abundant? This population is really too small.

"Okay, if there is nothing else important? Let's stop here today."

"Retreat!"

The guards looked around and saw that the ministers were not playing? After the loud announcement, Lu Chensheng left Chengtian Palace.

After leaving, Lu Chensheng got on Long Huan and went all the way back to the harem.

There are not many memorials today, so Lu Chensheng can rest for a while.

The three daughters of Qiongyue were teasing the children, and the two daughters were studying etiquette at the Supervisor of Rituals.

As the weather gradually cooled down, Lu Chensheng's body was quite strong, and he could withstand the cold current.

"Husband, my son can speak today!"

Seeing Lu Chensheng coming back, Qiong Yue said to Lu Chensheng in surprise.

She has been teaching the child to speak, but today she really heard her son stammering a little.

This made her very happy.

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng picked up his son, and when he saw Lu Chensheng, Canning immediately grabbed and grabbed his son with a smile on his face.

"Come on, call."

Lu Chensheng teased Canning and said.

Upon hearing this, Canning opened her mouth and called out, "Mother, mother"

Lu Chensheng's face darkened when he heard this, and when he turned his head, he saw Qiong Yue covering her mouth and laughing.

Lu Chensheng looked at the two Linyu girls, looking at the son in their arms, "Did you both learn to call me mother first?"

Lin Yu pouted, "This is the concubine's first child. Naturally, I have to call her mother first. If the husband doesn't teach the child himself, then I don't blame the concubine."

Bai Yi's face was calm, "Yi'er learned it directly after listening to the voices of the two of them who have been teaching."

Lu Chensheng was helpless, and simply didn't care, anyway, he had already learned it, so he couldn't let his son learn it again, and call his father first?

"My husband, why didn't you go directly to the imperial study to deal with the memorial today?"

Qiong Yue waited for Lu Chensheng to hug her for a while, then hugged her back again, and said with some doubts.

"There's not much going on today, so you can relax for a while."

Lu Chensheng replied, the ecology is quite relaxed, "The manufacturing progress of the steam engine is good, and now it has been used in many places, and after it is improved in the future, it can be directly used on ships.

Our trade with overseas can be increased frequently, and the money earned will increase, and the treasury will be rich. In addition, with such ships, we can build a navy.

Our coastline is too long, and it is really difficult to defend. With this ship, the situation will be much better. Those guys who harass my coastline will have nowhere to run after they encounter us. "

Lu Chensheng said one by one.

The research institute has already been studying data such as density buoyancy, and the current technology is just not enough. Otherwise, the steel giant can already be built and then launched into the sea.

But this problem is not too big. Of course, it can't be a steel behemoth right now, but it is still no problem to use some iron sheets.

The ship is built stronger, and when it encounters those pirates, it can directly hit and sink the other party.

Chapter 794 Development

Shumu reminds you: ask for collection () after reading, and it is more convenient to read again.

After the autumn harvest, the weather suddenly became extremely cold.

The leaves in the city began to rustle, and before the common people could appreciate the beauty of the yellow leaves falling all over the ground, they saw that all the leaves had fallen and not a single leaf was left.

"It's getting cold so fast."

Lu Chensheng wrapped the cloak around his body, a little speechless.

"Didn't my husband say that during the Little Ice Age, the weather was colder?"

Qiong Yue wrapped the child's clothes tightly, and then echoed.

Both of them were outside the palace, so they naturally felt a little cold. If they were inside the palace, they wouldn't feel so cold.

"That's what I said, it's just that the weather is changing too fast, and it's difficult for people to adapt."

But fortunately, the palace has already started to heat up, so there is no chill at all.

After leaving the palace, it will be fine to pay attention.

"My lady, go back to the palace, don't freeze, go out to the research institute for your husband."

Seeing that the weather was really cold, Lu Chensheng urged Qiong Yue to go back to the palace to warm up.

Seeing this, Qiongyue hesitated for a moment and asked the maid beside her to fetch the cloak.

"Husband, please put on the cloak, this cloak is a bit cold."

As he spoke, he handed the child to the maid at the side, and put it on for Lu Chensheng himself.

Sure enough, after changing the cloak, he did feel much warmer.

With a smile on Lu Chensheng's face, he waved his hands, "Go back quickly."

Qiong Yue nodded, and carried the child back to the palace.

Lu Chensheng got into the sedan chair, Gu Zhifang called some Jinyi guards to guard around, and followed them out of the palace.

The area on the research institute side is a confidential place.

Lu Chensheng hasn't come to see it for a long time. Now that he has this steam engine, he puts most of his attention on this area.

The outermost one belongs to the dyeing workshop, which is actually not a secret at all.

Compared to other places, the colors in this dyeing workshop are much brighter, and there are many kinds of colors.

But in the end it's just some money-making business, and it doesn't deserve more attention.

But in the early days, this was the place where it was built, and it was directly protected.

Compared with when Lu Chensheng came here before, the dyeing workshop is much bigger.

Many of the fabrics in the palace are dyed from here, and then the selected high-quality goods are sent to the palace.

There are also the official uniforms of the hundreds of officials, which also come from here.

Lu Chensheng just took a look outside and had no intention of going in.

The one in the front is the blacksmith shop? This one belongs to various metals? Better metals are smelted.

This place is a classified place. There are soldiers taking turns standing guard outside? No outsiders are allowed to enter.

The equipment of the soldiers is up to now? It is time to start upgrading again.

Lu Chensheng came here this time because of this matter.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

In the blacksmith's shop? Seeing the visitor wearing a yellow robe, all the blacksmiths hurriedly bowed to greet him.

Lu Chensheng waved his hand? Signaling all the blacksmiths to stand up? "There is no need to be formal, just stand."

After finishing speaking, Lu Chensheng began to inspect the blacksmith shop. The place here is huge? It is said to be a blacksmith shop? But it is actually a workshop.

Old craftsmen have their own positions, which are filled with various metals and smelting tools.

"I heard that the metal you have recently researched has been improved and is stronger and more durable than the previous Kraken?"

Lu Chensheng asked.

When the craftsmen heard this question, they immediately showed a look of pride on their faces.

"Returning to the Holy Spirit, this is actually the third time we have improved it? The first two improvements were not very obvious, so the subordinates did not intend to use this metal? But this time the improvement is great.

Whether it is the strength of the metal, or the flexibility of the metal? It completely surpasses the previous generation? So this time I want to use metal in the equipment of the soldiers. "

Lu Chensheng was quite satisfied when he heard this.

Every time the craftsmen here do research? It can drive the strength of the Xinghan Empire.

"It's a good job, but this time, don't use it to make previous equipment."

The craftsmen were stunned, this time the progress was very different, if the equipment was improved again, it would definitely improve the strength of the soldiers, why not?

"This time, coming here requires you to create a brand new weapon. With this weapon, the battlefield will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future. You need to create such equipment as soon as possible."

Lu Chensheng handed out the drawings he had drawn, which were flintlock guns.

Based on the current industrial skills of the Xinghan Empire, it is already possible to produce such a gun.

In fact, the development of this could have started at a time before.

It's just that for the previous industry, even if it is developed, it will have great disadvantages in terms of power and production quantity.

Lu Chensheng is only developing the foundation of industry, allowing craftsmen to smelt better metals.

Now everything has come to fruition and can be developed.

With the existence of steam engines, all this will become much simpler. In his drawings, there are also simple machine tools.

Once it is put into production, the equipment will have an assembly line and will be produced continuously.
