Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 759 The biggest plan ever
Ships gathered at Xinmacheng Wharf, and the local fleet of Ming Dynasty finally arrived.

Du Linzheng, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, led the team and brought a dreadnought, [-] Aegis ships, [-] Spike warships, two new fast ships, and a full [-] ships of goods.

Of course, the goods they brought were not food and food, nor were they daily necessities.

Except for porcelain, cloth and tea, the goods they brought were basically building materials and various processing machinery.

The speedboat has been developed, and the shipyard over at Wubei City has also begun to upgrade. They just brought over dozens of shipbuilding machinery.

There are also those who make cement, those who process steel, and those who make paper, etc., and there are dozens of ships.

There are also cement and steel for dozens of ships, thousands of steam engines and boilers, and shipbuilding materials such as steel nails, rivets, waterproof glue, etc., as well as kerosene and candles, etc., and even brought two hot air balloon.

Of course, this hot air balloon was not brought over in an inflated state.

If this latest type of hot air balloon is filled with hot air and inflated, it will be forty to fifty feet long, and the Emperor will not even be able to fit it!

Looking at the dense list and hundreds of officials and thousands of artisans neatly arranged in front of him, Taichang couldn't help nodding and said: "Everyone has worked hard. Everyone spent this New Year's Eve at sea. It is really not easy. There are so many I won't talk about it, I will order someone to give you 100 taels for each of you later.

It's just a bank note. There's not much cash here, and you may have to wait half a year or even a year to exchange it. "

His precious son, Xin Wang, was also messing around. This kid was probably afraid that he would not have enough money, so he even printed 1000 million taels of silver notes and [-] million taels of gold notes for him and asked Du Linzheng to bring them over.

Can the silver and gold tickets be printed indiscriminately?

Although it is not a big problem for the Daming Bank to print hundreds of millions of taels of silver notes and tens of millions of taels of gold notes at this moment, they have to be exchanged at any time in the mainland of Daming!

Where did so much cash and silver come from South America right now?
No way, he can only use it to reward and pay for the North American Indian tribe.

After all, these officials and craftsmen knew that the banknotes must be redeemable.

The Daming Bank in North America has also opened. If the Indian tribe wants to exchange a large amount of cash and silver, they only need to wait a few months for the Daming Bank to deploy the cash and silver.

It's different here.

Not to mention the sub-colon of Daming Bank, there is not even a shop here.

The people in the primitive tribe here don't even know what money is. What's the use of holding so many gold and silver tickets?

His generous act really moved the officials and artisans present.

This is a few 10 taels, the emperor really has nothing to say to the people below.

They just floated on the sea for a few months, and spent another year at sea. Their salaries and wages were still the same, and the emperor even rewarded each of them with an extra 100 taels, which is really great.

Everyone hurriedly cupped their hands and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Taichang nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's go, let's go and have a rest first, and wait for the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion to come over, and then help them look after the goods, and don't get confused when unloading." .”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly bowed their hands and bid farewell.

Taichang patted Du Linzheng on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, Bozheng, first follow me to see the planning map of Xinma City."

After all, he should go to the emperor first.

Du Linzheng hurriedly followed.

After the two came to a study room on the top floor of the Emperor, Taichang personally dug out the planning map of Xinma City, placed it on the desk, and asked, "Bozheng, take a look, which area is better for us to build first."

When Du Linzheng saw the planning map of Xinma City, he couldn't help but secretly stunned.

My God, such a big super city!
All areas of this super city have been planned on this planning map.

The westernmost row is the wharf and the pharmaceutical factory. This area seems to have been completed. The densely packed factories, roads, and residential areas have been drawn in detail. This is the sign of completion.

If it is not finished, it will definitely not be drawn in such detail, because it will be troublesome to change it.

Next to the pharmaceutical factory is the shipyard, and the waterways have also been drawn, and it is estimated that it is almost completed.

Next to the shipyard are neat rows of warehouses and densely packed roads. The wood storage area is marked on it, which is estimated to be almost completed.

Next to the timber storage area is a daily necessities processing factory, but at the moment the planning map is just a vague plan, and it is estimated that construction has not yet started.

Next to the daily necessities processing factory is a residential area, but the above is also a vague plan, and it is estimated that construction has not yet started.

Next to the residential area is a trading area, which is also just a vague plan.

There is still a residential area next to the trading area, and there is only a vague plan.

Then there are steel storage area, iron ingot storage area, steel factory, smelter, ore storage area, cement factory, cement storage area, large drill field, barracks, military port and so on.

At the northernmost point is a long row of charcoal processing factories with a length of hundreds of miles.

To be honest, this is the first time Du Linzheng has seen such a grand plan, and even the Wubei City is not as large as the Xinma City.

After all, Wubei City is only built in the area of ​​five or six miles on both sides of the main trunk of the Haihe River, which is equivalent to a city with a length of more than ten miles and a width of more than 100 miles.

Here is a city fifty miles wide and hundreds of miles long, which is more than double the size of the entire Wubei City in terms of area.

This is probably the largest city construction plan in history, and he was shocked when he saw it.

I don't know what the emperor thinks, why build such a big city in this foreign land.

Of course, this is not what he should ask, nor what he should think about.

He is an official of the Ministry of Industry, and his duty is to build this super city and fulfill the emperor's plan.

Du Linzheng looked carefully for a while, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, is there a shortage of ships here?"

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Yes, the rivers here are criss-crossed, and they are several miles or even tens of miles wide at every turn. There is no way to connect them by land, only by water."

Du Linzheng thought about it again, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, I see that this side is almost full of jungles. The wood here should be inexhaustible, right?"

Is this still a question?

Taichang nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, as long as we harvest and plant at the same time, the wood here can never be used up.

Moreover, because of the planning of building the city here and the planning of building cities and roads in other places, we have already cut down a lot of wood, and now we are pulling it into the wood storage area by category. "

Du Linzheng nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, how much wood have we cut down, and how much is suitable for shipbuilding?"

Uh, this question really stumped Taichang, because the method of calculating the amount of wood now is different from that of later generations!

At this moment, the calculation of wood is all materials, for example, four hundred materials for the wheels, eight hundred materials for water transport ships, one thousand materials for blessing ships and so on.

To be honest, he didn't know much about this material.

He can only make a rough estimate. One cubic meter is roughly equivalent to about twenty ingredients.

They have cut down at least [-] square kilometers of wood, one square kilometer is [-] mu, and one mu has at least [-] square meters of wood.

How much does that add up to?
Taichang calculated silently in his heart for a while, and then estimated: "We have roughly cut down more than 7000 million pieces of wood. As for the wood suitable for shipbuilding, there are more teak and mahogany here, as well as iron wood and so on. Not less.

Because there are too many mahogany here, in order not to disturb the price of mahogany in Daming, we will only choose mahogany that is thicker than the waist and of better quality to sell, and the rest can be used to build ship decks.

In this way, there are at least 3000 million materials suitable for shipbuilding. "

My God, 3000 million materials!

This means that only [-] merchant ships can be built for [-] ships.

Also, is there so much precious mahogany that it can be used to make decks?

It seems that there is enough wood for shipbuilding.

Du Linzheng thought for a while, then asked again: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask again, do you know if there are coal mines, iron mines and lime mines here?"

Well, I just came here, and I still have a dark eye for this place. It is normal to have more questions.

After all, people can't mess around, and if they don't ask about the situation, they don't know how to do it.

Taichang replied patiently: "It seems that a little lime mine has been found here, but the coal mine has not been detected yet.

As for the iron mine, there should be the largest iron mine in the world here, but it is not yet in our control area.

It is estimated that the iron ore here will have to wait several months before it can be mined in large quantities. "

Well, the general situation is almost understood.

Obviously, only ships can be built at this moment.

Du Linzheng thought about it again, and then explained in detail: "Your Majesty, if we want to build a smelter and a steel plant, we will need a lot of coal and iron ore, and there is no such thing here right now.

Therefore, we can only wait for materials to build smelters and steel plants.

There is also a cement factory, the main raw materials are limestone and clay, a little limestone is definitely not enough, this requires more efforts to explore to find enough limestone.

Therefore, we have to wait for materials to build the cement plant.

Now, it seems that there are enough materials for shipbuilding, and looking at the planning map, more than a hundred waterways seem to have been dug.

We only need to build a dock and a wood processing factory to build a ship directly.

Therefore, Wei Chen thought that we should build the shipyard first. "

Well, it seems that Peng Bin thought the same way, no wonder this guy was in a hurry to take people to dig the water channel.

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Well, you and Yan Ru can discuss it. Right now, he happens to be directing people to dig waterways at the shipyard. You can go over and discuss it with him."

It turned out that Peng Bin was directing people to dig the water channel on the other side of the river, no wonder he didn't see anyone.

They are very good friends, and they haven't seen each other for several years. To be honest, he really misses this guy a little bit.

When Du Linzheng heard this, he cupped his hands without hesitation and said, "I understand."
