Chapter 64 Birthday Present
After returning to the desk and sitting down, Lao Zhu looked at the microscope on the corner of the table, wanting to continue exploring the microcosm, but finally restrained his thoughts.

You have a lot of business to deal with, so you can't be too lazy.

There is ample time.

Wen Zao, who was sent by him to have lunch before resuming, Lao Zhu opened the letters and diaries sent by his precious 23rd generation grandson this time, and asked Wen Zao about all kinds of knowledge in Mingzhou.

In addition to the biggest surprise of the microscope, Zhu Yuan's personal letters and the various things discussed in the recent diary once again made Lao Zhu's thinking diverge, and unconsciously drew inferences.

Just like the heart attack tactics against the pirates.

The greatest possibility is to defeat others without fighting, which is completely in line with Lao Zhu's personal military thinking.

After reading Zhu Yuan's plan, Lao Zhu even felt that if the child was not too weak, with such a cautious and considerate personality, he would definitely be a good seed for the leader after some training.

such a pity!
Then it was the bearing that attracted Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yuan comes with a real object, some drawings, and a half-inch caliper for precise measurements.

Bearings, a common mechanical part after hundreds of years, appear in almost all modern machinery that people can think of because they can greatly reduce the friction coefficient and speed up the operation efficiency of mechanical equipment.

Its importance to industrial society can be imagined just by looking at its title of "industrial joint".

Because it is important and indispensable, it seems so 'commonplace'.

Lao Zhu had read Zhu Yuan's explanation, had seen the drawings and samples sent along with him, and asked Wen Zao to explain in detail the hydraulic sawing platform by the Yongjiang River.In the end, after a little deliberation, someone summoned General Secretary Shan Anren, intending to let General Secretary choose manpower to mass-produce this mechanical part as soon as possible.

Because even without Zhu Yuan's various explanations, Lao Zhu can see that such a mechanical part, no matter it is used on a car or a boat, can make some operations more efficient with half the effort.

As for Zhu Yuan's statement that due to the current manufacturing conditions, only soft and expensive copper materials can be used to make bearings, and relatively cheap iron materials cannot be used. This is not a problem at all.

Old Zhu thinks that copper material can be used for these things is the right way.

In comparison, Lao Zhu has never paid much attention to the casting of copper coins in Baoyuan Bureau.Jinling's Baoyuan Bureau has been established for many years, and before that, it only minted 2000 million new coins every year.But Lao Zhu never hesitated to use copper materials to make arrow clusters and the like.

Then, there is Shibo income.

Zhu Yuan sent a copy of the latest tax bill of Yinghai Division, and talked with Lao Zhu about the next plan.

After Lao Zhu saw it, he thought, no wonder he was a businessman who had accumulated a net worth of tens of thousands of taels of silver in his previous life, and his methods were unheard of.

So no intention to interfere.

I also feel that Zhu Yuan reported these matters too carefully. Since he has been given the right to act cheaply, there is no need to waste more words.

Thinking of this, I decided to remind me when I wrote back later.

The next thing happened, Lao Zhu cheered up again.

Zhu Yuan wanted to set up a maritime school in Dinghai to teach various knowledge related to navigation.

Lao Zhu's first reaction...

He had to admit, and reflect on himself, that he wanted to cherish himself again.

Thinking about Zhu Yuan's idea of ​​developing the ocean, it is indeed as the child said before, how can it be done without thousands of specialized sailing talents?
Therefore, this kind of maritime school is also necessary.

Just... always be cautious.

Continuing to read, Lao Zhu felt that he was worrying too much.

Zhu Yuan specifically stated that the Maritime Academy only involves civil matters.

For example, shipbuilding will only involve civilian ships, not warships.Besides maps, they only teach map recognition, not cartography.

There are other kinds.

In short, the Maritime School will definitely be cautious about what should be kept secret.

Finally, Zhu Yuan also proposed that if Lao Zhu wanted to, in the next few years, a naval academy could be established in Jinling, which would be directly controlled by the center to train more advanced naval talents.

tsk...

How thoughtful this kid is!
How could the ancestors object?
Lao Zhu, who didn't intend to say more, thought so, and quickly read a series of diaries and letters.

One last thing I noticed.

Zhu Yuan mentioned in yesterday's diary that his birthday is February 22, which is the day after tomorrow, and he intends to make the following day his 14th birthday, which is a new beginning.

Old Zhu understands.

The 22nd of February in the lunar calendar should be the birthday of the child in his previous life.

It's not bad to start again at the age of 14.

It is true that you cannot always think about your past life.

Since the child celebrates his birthday, the ancestors always have to express it.

The mansion in Houhu is already under construction.

What kind of fountain pens should I buy to support Zhu Yuan... What about Zhiyongzhai, he asked again, because he needs to accumulate some stocks and will not open until next month.

Others, gold playing treasures?
That kid is not rare.

Ok……

Lao Zhu suddenly remembered that a group of family members of criminal officials from Fujian were escorted to Jinling the day before yesterday, and they planned to distribute them as slaves to nobles.

It so happened that the child liked pretty women.

Food color also.

Given that child's indifferent nature, it was not easy to have a favorite, so he recruited attendants and ordered them to select the most outstanding women from the group of captives. He planned to send Wen Zao to Mingzhou as soon as possible. Arrived on the 22nd.

If it's too late, can it still be called a birthday gift?

That's... even if you know that the child has enough self-control, I still need to remind you that you must exercise self-control.

Can not hurt the body.

After ordering someone to handle this matter, Lao Zhu began to write back to Zhu Yuan, writing that he was about to arrive, Secretary Shan Anren.

Lao Zhu handed over the bearing-related information here to Shan Anren, and casually asked about the construction of Zhu Yuan's mansion on the lake, and sent him away.

The letter was written soon.

Handed it over to Wen Zao, and gave a few more instructions to send away the hundred households of the arch guard, and then Lao Zhu started to deal with other memorials.

Before you know it, another day is coming to an end.

The attendants came in quietly and lit the candles, only then did Lao Zhu realize that it was already evening.

His eyes fell on the microscope at the corner of the table again.

After hesitating for a while, he laughed at himself, thinking he should cherish his own broom, so he asked people to call Sun Shouzhen, the left envoy of the Imperial Hospital, and planned to transfer this thing to the Imperial Hospital.

After all, that's where it can really work.

Sun Shouzhen arrived quickly. Hearing a few words from Old Zhu and looking at the microscope, the old doctor with an excited expression wanted to jump on him.

It was only then that Lao Zhu remembered that the old man probably didn't know how to use it.

After all, even if he had watched Wenzao's entire operation, he hadn't actually watched it.

However, I didn't say anything after thinking about it.

Feel for yourself, then changed the subject, asked about Houhu Medical College, and learned that the first batch of 500 students of the affiliated primary school has been selected, aged between 8 and 12 years old, half male and half female, temporarily in Houhu Hubei Red Kaimeng, a private house at the foot of the mountain.

After the attached primary school building is completed, it can be transferred there.

Lao Zhu was very satisfied, and asked Sun Shouzhen if he had any other needs.

No!

Sun Shouzhen shook his head directly.

His Majesty the Emperor really paid a lot of money for the Houhu Medical College. He said that the 500 students will not only not receive a penny for Shu Xiu, but will also be responsible for accommodation and three meals a day.

Three meals a day.

As long as these children live up to their spirits, it will last ten years.

In the future, if you learn all the skills, even if you don't become a medical officer, you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life.

It's just this condition, not to mention those civilian children who meet the standards, even some court officials have changed their ways to send their children to occupy the quota, which makes Sun Shou really disturbed.

In general, His Majesty the Emperor's support for Houhu Medical College is more than that of Na Guozixue, which makes everyone a little panicked.After all, behind the huge support, it also means huge expectations.If everyone fails to meet His Majesty's expectations in the future, I dare not think about the outcome.

Sun Shouzhen also thought of Zhu Yuan because of this.

That kid, the majestic right-hand envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital and the vice-president of Houhu Medical College, just gave everyone a start, but he went to Mingzhou by himself, it is really unreasonable!
