Emperor’s Battlefield: I, Zhu Houzhao, like to push horizontally

Chapter 107 Reforming the Ming Dynasty starts with [-] workers!
"Baby, are you here? Have you bought the equipment I asked you to buy?"

In the Imperial Space, Zhu Houzhao, who was selecting production equipment in the mall, received a private message from Lao Zhu.

"Great Grandfather, have you finished handling Liu Bang's affairs?"

Seeing that it was Lao Zhu, Zhu Houzhao placed an order for the selected equipment, and an idea came to the lounge.

"It's not that simple."

"Those rats are scattered all over the Han Dynasty. In the past half month, not even 1/10 of them have been eliminated. I am about to enter the battlefield, so I came back early."

Lao Zhu, who had just returned to the Ming Dynasty with his ministers, replied to Zhu Houzhao while considering the deployment of combat forces.

"That's terrible. If I remember correctly, Liu Xiu and Uncle Shihuang will soon enter the battlefield."

Knowing that he couldn't even get 1/10, Zhu Houzhao felt sympathy for Lao Liu.

There are so many rats in the Han world, and it will definitely be enough for him until the overall strength of the world improves.

Lao Zhu also shook his head, "That's not true. When he learned that we were leaving, Liu Bang was so anxious that he didn't eat for several days."

"Oh, that's all I can help you with. Are you ready for my equipment?"

"It's been prepared a long time ago." Zhu Houzhao replied, then went to the storage warehouse, packed the purchased weapons and ammunition, paid a transmission fee, and sent it to Lao Zhu.

This transfer function can only be used between groups, and the fee is not low.

If Lao Zhu hadn't promised to bear the freight, Zhu Houzhao would not only have made no money from this transaction, but would have also lost a lot of money.

Lao Zhu was overjoyed when he received the goods. He didn't talk to Zhu Houzhao much. He traded the spent luck points to Zhu Houzhao and hurriedly made preparations.

In a battle between emperors, no one can guarantee victory, and no one can be too cautious.

After taking a look at the still quiet chat group, Zhu Houzhao returned to the mall and continued to purchase production equipment and promote himself to the engineer branch.

In order to build his initial base, Zhu Houzhao invested a lot of money.

For more than half a month, except for part of the luck points earned by the clone, which were invested in Tiger Guard, almost all the rest were spent on these equipments.

The first major equipment Zhu Houzhao bought was steelmaking and turning chemical equipment.

Guns and ammunition are said to be mysterious, but in actual operation, they are not that complicated.

As long as you have good steel materials and drawings, some hardware processing factories can make it for you.

"How long will it take to put it into production?"

After buying the equipment on the list, Zhu Houzhao opened the door to the new world. While asking the armored division to help transport it, he asked the officer next to him with the hammer and wrench logo on his shoulder.

This is a newly formed unit called the Production and Construction Corps, which is composed entirely of mechanical engineers and maintenance engineers.

These people are not professional scientific researchers, and their research and development capabilities may not be good, but based on the knowledge in their minds, they can produce it without any problem.

I don’t know if it’s because people are playing tricks on their brains, so the price is relatively high, or what?

The price of promotion for these mechanical engineers and maintenance soldiers is very high.

For the cost of promoting 100 soldiers, only one person can be promoted.

In order to cultivate this team of [-] engineers, Zhu Houzhao spent all his last luck points.

If there hadn't been a clone to take orders and make money, Zhu Houzhao would have fought with all his strength in the next imperial battle.

"Two months!"

Technical people are not good at communicating. Faced with Zhu Houzhao's inquiry, the person in charge of the Production and Construction Corps stated the time in a dull manner.

"so long?"

Zhu Houzhao frowned, obviously unable to accept it.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was not satisfied with this, the person in charge of the Production Corps was silent for a while and said: "Although we have discovered coal and steel mines, excavation and refining will take time, as well as factory equipment. For installation and construction, and more importantly, we need to train workers, two months is already the fastest time.”

Looking at the person in charge of the production corps who looked embarrassed, Zhu Houzhao also understood that he was impatient.

But he couldn't help it. His time was too tight and there wasn't that much time for him to wait.

In the novice protection period of the emperor's battle, he can guarantee a perfect victory with a crushing attitude.

But after the group stage, we have to face foreign enemies.

I heard from Uncle Shihuang that the scale of the battle will gradually expand.

With the strength of one armored division under his command, it is simply not enough to face a difficult opponent.

But promoting a large number of troops is also an unrealistic problem.

The expenses of the army are displayed there. Zhu Houzhao seems to have made a lot of money by helping others to be promoted to soldiers, but the expenses are also very huge.

Zhu Houzhao needed a large number of soldiers with combat experience to cope with large-scale battles in the future.

After discussing with Xu Da, Xu Da gave a solution.That is to make their own weapons and equipment, and then train the actual army as a reserve army to deal with future emergencies.

For this reason, Xu Da decided not to enter the battlefield with Zhu Houzhao before the group battle, but to devote all his efforts to cultivating the real army and build it into a legion with modern firepower.

The actual formation of an army is not a number of 1000 to 2000.

In the initial plan of the two people, the first batch was to reach a scale of [-].

Just by buying it, Zhu Houzhao couldn't afford it even if he went bankrupt.

Zhu Houzhao could only count on the production base to be put into use as soon as possible to manufacture batches of weapons and equip them for the real army, so that under the leadership of Xu Da, they could attack the surrounding small countries and sum up the combat experience of new weapons.

As for the so-called non-conquest countries around him, Xu Da didn't care at all.

With him, Xu Da, there is no country in the world that cannot be conquered.

"As soon as possible. If you have any problems or needs that can't be solved, just come to me. I will do my best to solve it for you."

Seeing that the equipment was almost delivered, Zhu Houzhao took a picture of the person in charge of the production corps, and then returned to reality to see if all the things he asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to collect were collected.

"Your Majesty, I have a need now."

However, before Zhu Houzhao even lifted his foot, the person in charge of the corps directly expressed his need.

Zhu Houzhao twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at the other party.

"We need workers, a lot of workers, all kinds of transportation equipment, and people who have a certain understanding of chemistry, and this is the list below."

Ignoring Zhu Houzhao's gaze, the person in charge of the corps took out a notebook from his bag and handed it to Zhu Houzhao with an expectant look on his face.

He took the small book and flipped through it.

Even though Zhu Houzhao was prepared in his heart, his eyelids couldn't help but tremble.

There are at least [-] ordinary basic workers, at least [-] people with chemical experience, and at least [-] vehicles of all kinds of transportation.

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to curse.

There is no problem with 10 workers. With Zhu Houzhao's appeal in the Ming Dynasty, it would be easy to recruit 10 laborers.

These workers have been working for a long time and must know a lot about machinery. Let the mechanical engineers and engineering soldiers work hard and run night classes.

With continuous education, these [-] workers will become the core backbone of the research and production base in the future.

Then use the old to bring the new and train the next generation of workers.

Once the base is large, it is not impossible to develop one or two research talents.

In this way, not only will there be production power, but all aspects of Ming Dynasty will also undergo earth-shaking changes under their leadership.

Zhu Houzhao planned very well for the future, but the problem was that all of it was just an assumption.

Now how to do?Where can we get so many talents?

As far as the era of Ming Dynasty was concerned, let alone those with chemistry experience, those who could read were all high-class people. So where could he find these people with chemistry experience?

Zhu Houzhao bought a large number of books and asked people to educate those specially adopted orphans.

But learning this thing can't be done in a day or two. Without more than ten years of training, it will be of no use at all.

Those scholars who have knowledge and experience are indeed good targets. However, many scholars have been influenced by Confucian culture for a long time, and they are very repulsive to the books on ancient things, thinking that they are all deviant and cunning, and cannot be put on the table.

In addition, their characters have been stereotyped. With these stubborn nerds, Zhu Houzhao would rather wait a few years for those [-] simple workers to grow up.

As for transportation tools, one or two can easily solve the problem.

Thousands of cars, damn it, another huge expense.

"Your Majesty, I know it's a bit difficult, but we have too few manpower and the equipment is not automated."

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was silent while holding the book, the person in charge of the Corps explained: "Without these personnel and equipment, just the soldiers under my command, let alone two months to start production, just debugging and assembling these machines would take more than this time." .”

Zhu Houzhao didn't understand. He stretched out his hand to stop what the other party was about to say, and gritted his teeth and said: "I will help you solve it within half a month, but when these workers come, you must teach them well and let them grow up as soon as possible."

After saying that, Zhu Houzhao was afraid that the other party would make other demands, so he didn't even go to the resting place.

With a sudden thought, I went to the Sky Garden, intending to see how the base construction was going?

The scenery in front of him slowly emerged. Just as Zhu Houzhao was about to call the little girl over, his eyes accidentally turned to the scenery outside the open palace door.

Snow...a lot of snow...

The whole world was completely white, and Zhu Houzhao could still smell a faint smell of decay in the air.

"Is he here?"

Such a scenery and such a smell made Zhu Houzhao feel a little familiar, and his mind unconsciously recalled the scene of heavy snowfall and stiff corpses moving forward.
