Chapter 661: The Heavenly General Descends on the Si People

It turns out that the 'internship' mentioned by Mr. Yama means a job trial! Song Yingxing said in his heart.

In the Ming Dynasty, even if the Jinshi became a quasi-county order, there was still a one-year probationary period, which was called a trial in the Ming Dynasty, and the prince had to study for a period of time before ascending the throne, of course, the emperor did not have a probationary period, and the Ming Dynasty called it Guanzheng.

It's also that the mountain growers came to eat for a walk, and it turned out that they were really thinking about these students, which is commendable, commendable!

Uncle Song has always had relatively low requirements for Liu Hongji, a young prince, anyway, whether it is an engineering college or an ordnance institute, it is all his own one-third of an acre.

He doesn't expect Liu Hongjian to really do it himself, casting the future for the Ming Dynasty, as long as the indicators are not high and the command is blind, he and Brother Xu will come to Zhang Luo.

Uncle Song didn't think it was a bad idea for all the students to go out for a job trial proposed by Elder Shan, after all, the courses of the college were finished, could it be that he would eat and drink in the college for the next year?

It's just that...... Uncle Song turned his head and glanced at Uncle Xu, and he saw the same question in Uncle Xu's eyes.

"My lord, the ...... of the Mining Division" Uncle Song frowned slightly, as if he couldn't bear to speak.

He didn't want to discourage the mountain elders who were cheering up the students with great interest, but the civil engineering, water conservancy and even smelting departments were all okay, and it was a big deal to say hello to the Ministry of Industry and follow the craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering to the workshop to observe.

But the mining department is going to prospect, and the miners are mostly in the deep mountains and old forests, and if prospecting is so easy, how can Daming fall into the dilemma of financial constraints?

But where the Ming Dynasty finds gold, silver, and copper mines, it is a moment of joy and encouragement for the imperial court, including the saints, since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it has been dragged down by the lack of silver, and the silver circulating in the market is too little, so that the prices of the people are also suffering.

Every year, the Ministry of Industry sends many people to various places to look for minerals, but with little success.

Experienced craftsmen are not enough, and the mining department of the College of Engineering is all fifteen, sixteen, seventeen or eighteen teenagers, how can they be worthy of this important task?

"Elder Song doesn't have to worry, Benshan Chang has already considered this aspect of the problem." Liu Hong gradually turned his head and chuckled, signaling to turn around and explain to him.

Joke, he is a traveler who came with a mineral distribution map, although the place name at this time is very different from the map of later generations, but it doesn't matter!

The military department has a detailed map of the Ming Dynasty, although the scale is not accurate enough, but it can also make do with the ancient and modern place names one by one, and the students of the mining department only need to follow the map.

Liu Hongchuan only regretted that the mineral distribution map was too general, but marked on the map that there were iron ores in Qian'an, Hebei, Ma'anshan, Anhui, and Panzhihua, Sichuan, and drew a solid triangle.

Gone...... That's too concise to put it mildly.

There is no way, the sky will descend on the Si people, and they must first make it prospecting, although the journey is hard, and it is not easy to climb the mountain for prospecting, but the work still has to be done.

All he could do was to point out to these students what mines were in a certain province and a certain place, and then in the name of the king of Anguo County, he would open a good road for each of these students, so that they could get some government care when they passed by a certain place.

Compared with Uncle Song and Uncle Xu, who were frowning, the students of the College of Engineering did not know what it was like to be a teenager, and they were all gearing up, thinking that they could finally go out of the academy to show their skills.

Although there is no salary for going out to practice, but you can still learn from the experience of eating and living, which is not a problem at all for the poor children who are used to suffering, after all, even if you worship a skilled master, you have to work for the master for three years in vain.

"The chief of the mountain has high hopes for you, especially the students of the mining department, the road is long and the mountain road is rugged, the chief of the mountain allows you to go home and reunite with your parents, and the prospecting should not be hidden from your family.

If you don't want to go, or your family doesn't let you go, the mountain chief does not force it, but the infinite scenery is in the dangerous peak, but if the prospecting is successful, the mountain chief will be reused, and disperse! ”

Liu Hong gradually waved his hand and dismissed the students who were already excited.

Industrial take-off is not just flying, which requires a large amount of investment in scientific research, a large number of craftsmen and a craftsman-friendly working environment, which takes time.

The students of the Faculty of Engineering have to do half an hour of physical training every morning in order to cope with the inevitable physical labor in the future, after all, no matter what they do, the body is the capital of the revolution.

Liu Hong's announcement that all the students went out to experience training was not a temporary idea, but a deliberate one.

Daming is a country with a large population, but it is not a big country with resources, and where there are many overseas resources, he knows that he is clear, and let these students go to prospecting and experience first, which is also to prepare for the future.

The mineral resources of the Ming Dynasty can not be exhausted and fished, the Age of Exploration is the era of robbery, the minerals of the Ming Dynasty are still left to the children and grandchildren to use, he is now taking advantage of the youth to grab more points.

Another reason is smelting, and the most important thing is the problem of gun cartridge shells, although paper cartridge shells are already a very mature technology in the ordnance institute, but paper cartridge shells are easy to get damp, and many terrain and weather conditions can not be used.

Rear loading guns inevitably have to replace paper cartridge shells with metal cartridge shells, and metal cartridge shells abandon the problem of primer, and there is also the problem of cartridge shells.

The most suitable raw material for the shell is brass, which has the right stretch and is still an important raw material for the manufacture of shells in many countries until the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty is a copper-deficient country, and many large countries in later generations also suffered from the lack of more brass to make bullet shells because of frequent wars, and then there were various alloy shells, among which copper-clad steel, lead, zinc, tin, aluminum, etc. can be used as a substitute for all brass.

The Ordnance Institute has mastered the technology of converter coking and steelmaking, which also means that Daming already has the basis for refining alloys, and some tungsten with relatively high melting points such as tungsten can be refined by converters.

This group of students from the School of Engineering will be of great use in the future.

After leaving the College of Engineering, Liu Hong gradually returned to Xishan, and did not forget to say hello to Uncle Song, don't forget the medicinal wine.

In the next few days, he honestly stayed in Xishan Villa, nothing to tease his children and walk the dog, but Le Shulu, a student of the first phase of the martial arts, took a day off to visit his sister Qiqige in Xishan Villa.

In addition to teaching tactics, strategy, and combat weapons, physical training is also carried out simultaneously.

Le Shulu has been studying in the martial arts hall for nearly a year, and he is no longer a rough man who doesn't even know a few big characters when he first came, although he is as tall as his father Babala, but his manners and conversation are much better than before.

Although he came to visit his sister, he actually wanted to meet Liu Hongji, after all, when he came to the Wuzhumuqin Prairie, his father Baba had an explanation, and he must walk around with the prince more when he came to the capital.

Baba seems to be reckless but has a clear heart in his heart, if he wants to lead the army well in the Ming Dynasty, there must be a thigh in the court, and Liu Hongchuan is that thigh.

Le Shulu stood for a long time and didn't think about how to shoot Liu Hongji's ass, which felt more uncomfortable than letting him charge.

I finally mustered up the courage to speak, but I didn't expect that a father-in-law came to the door at this time.

"Lord Wang, the Emperor summoned you to the palace!" It was the huge sea of the celebrant who came, and since the last turmoil, this guy did not dare to slack off on Liu Hong.

"Oh? What is the matter of the Holy Lord's call, I wonder if my father-in-law can show it? Liu Hong gradually said bluntly.

If an ordinary courtier wanted to ask the reason for the name, he had to hand it over to a red envelope, but Liu Hong gradually didn't mean to give it at all.

"The concubine gave birth to a prince." The huge sea was not annoyed, and said softly with a smile.

The concubine gave birth to a son, what did she call this king to do?
