Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 713 Grand Planning and Small Details

Taichang has indeed presided over the construction of several super cities, but every time he presides over the overall situation.

The so-called presiding over the overall situation is to delineate the size and scope of the city, roughly plan what functions to be realized, and then invest how much manpower and material resources and so on.

These are actually the general direction, he has not taken care of the specific details, and the details are basically taken care of by the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

This time, he had no choice but to participate in the whole process, taking care of the big and small. He was in control of the general direction, and he was also in charge of the details.

As a result, there were a lot of problems with the details, which really made him a little bit burnt out.

No way, at the beginning, there were no officials from the Ministry of Industry around him, so he could only go into battle himself.

Fortunately, Peng Bin rushed over with more than ten directors of the Ministry of Industry, and he was finally able to hand over the details to these professionals.

He took a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry around the construction site, and then took Peng Bin back to the Emperor, took out the planning map of the entire Xinma City, and introduced it in detail.

This has always been the case in the past, he made the general plan, and officials from the Ministry of Industry came to implement it.

This feeling is so familiar.

Taichang spoke more and more vigorously, but Peng Bin's expression became more and more solemn.

Because Taichang's plan is too ambitious, it is too difficult to implement it.

Your majesty, do you think this is the mainland of Ming Dynasty!

Of course, Peng Bin dared not say that.

After he listened carefully to Taichang's introduction, he carefully asked: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, the area that is nearly a hundred miles long and fifty miles wide is included to build a super big city?"

Taichang nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, this will be the center of the South American continent in the future, and all the herbs, spices, wood, and even fruits, dried fruits, leather goods, etc. produced by the Indian tribal alliance here will be shipped here for processing. For transshipment, the civilian ships used in the entire Amazon River Basin and even the entire Americas will also be produced and constructed here.”

Uh, there is also an Indian tribal alliance here?
Peng Bin asked carefully again: "Your Majesty, how many Indian tribal alliances do you estimate will be formed here, and how many cities will need to be built?"

Of course I have considered this.

Taichang said without hesitation: "There are more Indian tribes here, and the population is larger than that in North America. I estimate that at least [-] Indian tribe alliances should be formed. As for cities, at least hundreds of them should be built."

My God, hundreds of cities?
How much reinforced concrete wood does this need!
Peng Bin was speechless secretly, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, you said that a large shipyard is going to be built here, roughly how big is the shipyard, and how many civilian ships are produced and built in a year?"

Of course I have considered this.

Taichang still said without hesitation: "There is no shortage of wood here, so I plan to build a super large shipyard here. There must be at least one hundred waterways in the dock, and at least two thousand large and small ships can be produced and built every year."

what?
When Peng Bin heard this, his jaw almost dropped.

Your majesty, building a ship is not that simple. It’s not enough to dig a channel and build a dock, and there are many mechanical equipment in it.

There is also labor, how many skilled craftsmen are needed to build [-] large and small ships a year!

He couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask you, why are you building so many civilian ships?"

Taichang calculated with his fingers: "Think about it, how many ships are needed by the more than [-] tribal alliances in South America, and how many ships are needed by the twenty tribal alliances in North America?
Especially in the tribal alliance in the Amazon River Basin, bridges cannot be built in many places here, and it is even more difficult to build railways. They can only be connected by waterways.

A tribal alliance with 40 million people needs at least [-] to [-] large and small ships, right?

This is still under the condition that they have not developed. When they develop, the population will start to grow rapidly. At that time, it is estimated that a thousand ships for each tribal alliance will not be enough.

The twenty tribal alliances in North America count less, and each tribal alliance always needs two or three hundred ships, right?
Calculated in this way, nearly [-] ships are needed for the development of more than [-] tribal alliances here.

How long does it take for them to develop?

As long as we strongly support it, ten years is enough, right?
Calculated in this way, the output of [-] ships a year is not much, right?

What's more, the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, including Dongyang Chengxuan's Political Envoy Division, Nanyang Chengxuan's Political Envoy Division, and Nanyang Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, all need a large number of civilian ships, and in the Ming Dynasty, a Jinling Shipyard is building civilian ships. Can't keep up with demand at all.

If we can build more points here, we can in turn support the Ming Dynasty, Dongyang Chengxuan Political Commissioner, Nanyang Chengxuan Political Commissioner, and Nanyang Chengxuan Political Commissioner. "

Well, with such a big demand, it is really not many to build [-] ships a year.

Peng Bin thought for a while, and then asked: "Your Majesty, what about the mines here? Are there many? Do we need to make mining machines to mine?"

There are plenty of mines here.

Taichang said without hesitation: "There are the world's largest iron ore and the world's largest copper mine here. In the early stage, we may only need to develop the iron ore. In the later stage, the copper mine may also need a lot of mining machinery.

This can be built in New Liaoyang City, and then pulled over by ships after it is built.

By the way, I also want to build a batch of ships dedicated to pulling that kind of large machinery and heavy machinery.

This can also be built in the shipyard here. When the people from the shipyard come over, you can discuss it with them. "

My God, here is the world's largest iron mine and the world's largest copper mine!

Peng Bin thought about it carefully, and then asked: "Your Majesty, are the daily necessities of the Indian Tribal Alliance here shipped from Daming, or are they directly produced in Xinma City?"

Uh, I haven't really considered this.

Taichang was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then estimated: "It depends on the specific items, such as porcelain, cloth and tea, etc. The local production capacity of Daming is still very strong, and these things don't take up much space. You can come here.

For other things, if they take up too much space or are inconvenient to transport, we still have to find a way to produce some here. "

Well, that again requires a whole bunch of steam machines.

Peng Bin thought about it carefully, and then asked carefully: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for asking again, have you ever calculated how many steam engines are needed to build so many ships and mining machines?

Also, how much cement, steel and wood are needed to build so many cities?

How many steam locomotives are needed to process so much cement, steel and wood?
In addition, the production of daily necessities also requires a lot of steam machine tools. How many steam engines do these steam machine tools need? "

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help being dumbfounded.

He really didn't think about it.

However, this is not difficult to calculate, he can figure it out with a little calculation.

Ships need a lot of steam engines. A Spike warship or a large civilian water transport ship needs at least four steam engines.

It's not just about building large water transport ships here, but there must also be some merchant ships.

In other words, the shipyard alone needs at least tens of thousands of steam engines a year.

If everything else is counted, I am afraid that the steam machine needed here will reach about [-] units a year.

With such a sudden demand, the steam engine factory will definitely not be able to supply it without a substantial increase in production.

Taichang couldn't help but said embarrassingly: "I really forgot this. There is a sudden increase in demand in a year. I will send an order quickly so that the steam engine factory must increase production."

Unexpectedly, Peng Bin was confused: "Your Majesty, there is a saying that I don't know if I should say it or not."

Taichang said without hesitation: "If there is anything our monarchs and ministers can't say, we can say it."

Hearing this, Peng Bin explained in detail: "Your Majesty, I encountered an incident in New Liaoyang City.

This matter is also related to this side, that is, the problem of transforming the machines that specialize in felling trees.

Because you want to add new functions and install two saw discs next to it, there will be [-] mining machines over there that must stop production, and wait at least half a year.

If you add the 120 trees and logging machines you need, then another [-] mining machines must be shut down, waiting at least half a year.

This has already had a big impact on mining over there. "

Ah!
And such a thing?
Taichang couldn't help asking: "Why do we have to stop production for at least half a year?"

Peng Bin continued to explain: "Because there is no steam engine production place in New Liaoyang City, including the whole of America, only the local Ming Dynasty has it.

Moreover, the demand for steam engines in the Ming Dynasty is quite large at the moment.

No matter how many steam engines are needed here in New Liaoyang City, the official documents have to be sent back half a year in advance, and the local side of the Ming Dynasty will send ships to send them over.

Because the steam engine was stolen last time, the number of this steam engine is quite strictly controlled, and there is not even one more in Xinliaoyang City.

Therefore, you need to use 120 steam engines, and there are 120 mining machines that must be shut down for more than half a year. "

Uh, there isn't a single extra steam engine here?

Want to replenish the steam engine and have to wait half a year?

This is too late!
