Chapter 422 Current Situation of Xishan
In the past few days of relaxing in Xishan, Zhu Zaijing also went to the Xishan lime field.
Now Teng Xiang has also been promoted and appointed as the eunuch guarding Xishan and the admiral of Xishan Artifact Camp. He is no less generous than Bingbi, the cheese ceremonial supervisor.
The so-called Xishan Divine Weapon Camp is the new camp in the suburbs of Beijing that evolved from the guards of the Xishan Divine Medicine Palace.
This new camp directly belongs to Emperor Jiajing, but Emperor Jiajing does not often interfere with matters here, so the final leader of the Xishan Artifact Camp is Zhu Zaijing, who single-handedly promoted the construction of the Divine Medicine Palace.
Now that his master was here again, Teng Xiang was overjoyed and quickly brought the people in charge of various fields in Xishan to welcome Zhu Zaijing's arrival.
Zhu Zaijing looked at Teng Xiang, who was still strong, and said with a smile: "You did a good job in Xishan. Feng Bao and the others have slacked off in Shunyi. They are as fat as a ball. Ben Wang Zhen is worried that one day if they continue to mount the horse, they will crush the horse to death. "
Teng Xiang accompanied him and said with a smile: "Xishan is different from Shunyi. The slaves are the eunuchs guarding Xishan. The servants have to run to see it in person, and they have to be responsible for the affairs of the Divine Medicine Palace, so they can’t gain weight.”
Zhu Zaijing laughed and said, “Thank you for your hard work, but even so. I still can't transfer you back, because Shunyi is not even a bit worse than here, especially the Divine Medicine Palace, which is a top priority. If you are not a trustworthy and considerate person, I will not. I will keep you here for so long.”
Teng Xiang was very moved when he heard Zhu Zaijing’s words.
He is also very aware of the importance of the Divine Medicine Palace, especially the miracle medicines derived from the Divine Medicine Palace in recent years. They are even more terrifying and can shake the earth if you are not careful!
Teng Xiangguang has gone there so many times over the years to send people to build houses. Every time he goes there and sees the original house blown to pieces, Teng Xiang can’t help but feel frightened. This is really too shocking. Terrible.
What is even more frightening for Teng Xiang is that the inventor of the magic medicine, Leidezi, was blown into a cripple during an experiment. Now he only has two normal hands and one leg.
But this Taoist master is still crazy on the front line of the application test of magic medicine, and he has the most disciples.
After this Taoist master’s painstaking experiments, the magic medicine in the Divine Medicine Palace has finally found a formula that can stabilize its potency.
That's why the Xishan Artifact Battalion emerged. In addition to daily patrols of the Divine Medicine Palace, the current officers and soldiers of the Xishan Artifact Battalion are familiar with the use of this new explosive.
It can be said that as long as these people are released and use the explosives from the Divine Medicine Palace in their hands to attack the city, they can knock down a city wall that could have been called impregnable in minutes!
So the current Xishan Artifact Battalion is like a hidden and peerless magic weapon, just waiting to be unsheathed one day and shock the world!
But this day is still far away, because Xishan has not yet manufactured an artillery that can withstand the explosives of the Divine Medicine Palace. Once an artillery that can withstand the explosives of the Divine Medicine Palace is manufactured, there is no need for Zhu Zaijing to talk nonsense, Jiajing The emperor can't wait to announce this secret team to the public, so that the world can see the Ming Dynasty's abundant martial virtue again!
Zhu Zaijing said: "This time I came here just to take a look. How is it at the machinery field?"
Hearing Zhu Zaijing ask about Xishan Mechanical Field, Teng Xiang couldn't help but feel happy.
Xishan Machinery Plant is the latest independent manufacturing plant. It is different from the previous coal field, lime field and cement field.
It is a professional workshop specializing in manufacturing and researching steam machines.
Now that Zhu Zaijing has further liberalized cement patents, many people have the secret recipe for making cement.
But the manufacturing of cement requires more precise and stable force to provide a steady stream of power.
So those big players who bought the secret recipe for cement now have to look grim to buy Xishan’s steam equipment.
Therefore, in order to meet the needs of these people for steam equipment and to further deduce the progress of steam engines, Zhu Zaijing transferred many workers specializing in equipment manufacturing from various fields in Shunyi and Xishan to come here. At the same time, Zhu Zaijing was also consciously cultivating the next generation of literate mechanical workers, and also recruiting research talents who were literate but with average imperial examination skills to come to Xishan.
It’s a pity that this kind of people are thin-skinned and unwilling to take off their scholar’s shirt and become research-oriented talents. They would rather deceive themselves and others and pretend to study at home, secretly studying something they like. I don’t want to come to Xishan Machinery Factory if I don’t have tools.
So the current Xishan Machinery Factory is just a grassroots team with no truly professional technical talents.
Therefore, many key technological advances are prone to being stuck.
But these are not important, as long as these steam engines can move, they are good machines.
And there are only a few large buyers of steam engines from Xishan Machinery Factory. Since these people dare to spend a lot of money to buy them, they will definitely not always be willing to spend money to buy them again.
They will also arrange their own skilled talents to explore and experiment. Maybe they will also make some progress in some key technologies of steam engines.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing also promised that whoever can improve the performance of the steam engine and increase the working efficiency of the steam engine. Zhu Zaijing also recognized their inventions and creations, and whoever wanted to use their new inventions would have to pay them corresponding patent fees.
Therefore, the current situation is that only Xishan Machinery Factory specializes in steam engine research.
But in fact, every time Xishan Machinery Factory makes a deal with a customer, it means there is an additional research group, and the addition of a research group means that it has a new idea.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing encourages competition, and is divided into several teams within Xishan Machinery Factory, and these teams are also competing with each other.
As long as there are achievements, Zhu Zaijing will not be lenient in rewards.
Whoever can come up with an invention that makes Zhu Zaijing feel happy and excited will be rewarded with a hereditary official who will be passed down from generation to generation. Zhu Zaijing will have a way to give it.
After all, this kind of official doesn't hinder anything, and it doesn't cost a lot of money, so it's just a given.
But for many craftsmen, it is already an incredible gift.
So in Xishan Machinery Field, the competition between the teams is also in full swing.
Teng Xiang knew that Zhu Zaijing was very concerned about Xishan Mechanical Field, so in normal times, as long as there was nothing going on at the Divine Medicine Palace, Teng Xiang almost always worked at the Mechanical Field.
Teng Xiang said: "Your Majesty, a craftsman named Zhanwa has recently made an interesting new modification, which has increased the capacity of the steam equipment manufactured by their group by about 30%. The slave is thinking I’m here to tell you the good news.”
Zhu Zaijing smiled in surprise: "Okay, then take me to see it."
