Here in the Tianjin Cement Workshop, Liu Jin was looking at a construction drawing and told Sun Xin: "This cement workshop is of great importance and must be processed. The additions must be built first. Only by burning the cement, we will have many things to do later.
Only then can it proceed more quickly and smoothly.”
"The first cement-burning blast furnace must be built within ten days, and we will bake the first batch of cement within half a month."
"Yes, I will definitely live up to your master's instructions."
Sun Xin nodded very solemnly and said.
Now he has been promoted again. He was promoted by Liu Jin to become the general manager of Tianjin Cement Workshop, responsible for the preparation of Tianjin Cement Workshop related matters.
"Well, do your best and ask me if you don't understand anything."
Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction, then patted Sun Xin on the shoulder and said.
This Sun Xin, a refugee from last year, was originally named Sun Ergou. In just a few months, his whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes.
He is very good at learning and is very willing to study. He is very careful in doing things and can think of many aspects. Therefore, Liu Jin also appreciates him very much and constantly promotes him. Now he is allowed to take charge of his own affairs.
"Yes, sir."
Sun Xin was very excited. Being able to stand alone now was Liu Jin's trust in him. He secretly vowed to make this Tianjin cement workshop beautiful.
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu~"
Just when Liu Jin was about to rush to the Maritime Academy, Zhu Houzhao came over with Liu Jin.
"I have met His Royal Highness~"
Liu Jin and Sun Xin quickly said respectfully.
"No need, no need."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to show that there was no need to be polite, and then said to Liu Jin: "Old Liu, when are we going to sea to hunt whales?"
"I've been in Tianjin for several days now, and everyone is impatient to wait."
Zhu Houzhao was really not a peaceful person. He talked with Liu Jin on the way to Tianjin. After he learned that there was a giant sea fish whale in the ocean, he clamored to go out to sea to hunt whales every day. Hunting and killing such legendary whales
There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that it cannot be known how many thousands of miles away it is, and it soars up to ninety thousand miles away and turns into a magical animal like a roc.
"My Royal Highness, look at how I have no time to go out to sea and hunt whales now. I am so busy all day long that I have no time at all."
When Liu Jin heard this, he smiled helplessly and said, "This is the truth. Liu Jin is very busy now, very busy."
Because the stall was too big at once, there was a maritime academy, a cement workshop, a shipbuilding workshop, etc., there were so many things that needed to be busy, that Liu Jin never had any work after arriving in Tianjin.
Have slept in.
Furthermore, even if Liu Jin had nine heads, he would not dare to take Zhu Houzhao to the sea to hunt whales. If something happened to him, Liu Jin would definitely be exterminated.
Just look at Liu Jin next to Zhu Houzhao. He was all anxious, but there was nothing he could do about Zhu Houzhao. He could only keep giving Liu Jin looks.
"When will the Maritime Academy's academy go out to sea for training?"
"They have all come to Tianjin, so they should go to maritime training, right?"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately became unhappy. He thought about it and asked again.
"Students at the Maritime Academy are not so quick to go to maritime training. Now there is nothing here in Tianjin, and they have to build their own academy."
"In addition, the shipbuilding workshop has not been built yet, and there is no way to repair or modify the ship, so it will not go to sea for the time being."
Liu Jin thought for a while and said, now the only option is to use drag.
"Can't we go to sea now?"
"Even if it's just a casual stroll around the area, I've never been on a boat to go to sea."
Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and suddenly became listless.
On the way here, I heard Liu Jin talk too much about things in the ocean. He was very yearning for the ocean. He even said that he would go to the ocean to become a pirate and experience the feeling of robbery.
"No, it's very dangerous to go to sea. You need to train step by step. Only after passing strict training can you become a qualified sailor and be able to go to sea."
"Your Highness, you can't even swim and don't understand basic sea knowledge. Naturally, you can't go into the sea. After all, you are a prince and a rich man. Everything about you is related to the future of our Ming Dynasty. I don't dare to take risks."
Seeing Zhu Houzhao like this, he didn't give up until he reached the Yellow River. There was no other way. Liu Jin could only say this after thinking about it.
"Yes, yes, Lao Liu, you are right."
"The students at this maritime academy have all studied and trained and are qualified to become sailors. It is really too risky for me to go to sea without studying or training."
After hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao was not angry. Instead, he thought about it and said seriously: "I have decided that I will enter the Maritime Academy starting from today. I must become a qualified sailor."
"..."
Liu Jin and Liu Jin looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. This Zhu Houzhao was so unexpected that no one could guess what his next move would be.
"Well, in history, Emperor Zhengde died soon after falling into the water. Maybe he can learn from the Maritime Academy and become familiar with water properties. Maybe such a thing will not happen in the future."
Liu Jin knew that he could not change Zhu Houzhao's mind, so he could only comfort himself in this way.
"Teacher, it's not good, it's not good, something big has happened."
Just at this moment, someone came over in a hurry and said anxiously without even having time to take a breath.
The person who came was none other than Tong Yuan, one of Liu Jin's cheap apprentices. Because he was very good at mathematics, Liu Jin also asked him to help with logistics management and security.
"What happened?"
"In such a panic, didn't you see His Highness the Crown Prince here?"
Liu Jin said in an old-fashioned way, feeling a bit like he was setting an example to others.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
When Tong Yuan heard this, he quickly saluted Zhu Houzhao.
"No, what happened?"
Zhu Houzhao also asked quickly.
"Reporting to Your Highness, Teacher, I went to buy food today and found out that the food supply in Tianjin has started to skyrocket. Originally, due to the famine, the food price has increased to 15 Wen per pound, and now it has suddenly increased to 30 Wen per pound.
Jin, and the sales of these grains in Tianjin have begun to be restricted, and they are unwilling to sell grains to us on a large scale. They seem to be waiting for the famine to spread in order to continue to raise grain prices."
Tong Yuan said anxiously: "Now we have recruited several construction sites to start construction at the same time. We have recruited thousands of people and need tens of thousands of kilograms of food every day. What should we do now?"
