Building a thermal power station is also something Chu Yun wants to do very much. Recently, he is also using the industrial revolution system and the technology needed by existing power experts to prepare thermal power stations. With the expansion of the sphere of influence of the Jiuzhou Army and the improvement of science and technology, Chu Yun deeply feels that the existing industrial foundation is becoming increasingly difficult to meet his expectations.

Now the generators of Jiuzhou Jun can only maintain the power supply of a certain street or telegraph line, which is far from the power supply of the whole city. If the power supply capacity is to be enhanced, special power supply power stations are indispensable.

In the early stages of the telephone, such as the telephone, it is not that Chu Yun is not civilized enough to open it, but that it is limited by infrastructure! There is no wire network throughout the country and no sufficiently powerful thermal power stations. What can the telephone technology be after it comes out? At most, it can only be able to communicate between important institutions in the city, which is better than nothing.

"Add to the orders." said a group of officials from the power bureau.

Their words were filled with joy. The Electric Power Bureau was going to split out the Telegraph Bureau, which means that nearly half of these Electric Power Bureau officials were about to be promoted! Now the industrial foundation of each provincial government is almost zero. This year, Chu Yun established various industrial institutions, specializing in industrial construction. Whether it is the Telegraph Bureau, Textile Bureau, or Power Bureau, they will be the first pioneers at the beginning of the construction of the Chinese industrial system!

Chu Yun later talked with the officials about the general plan for telegram construction. If it is implemented, it will take several months to prepare personnel and materials, and a advance team will be sent to explore appropriate routes. In short, there may be tens of thousands of workers and hundreds of officials to devote themselves to this major project.

Chen Ting, who was in charge of civil affairs, felt aching when he saw another piece of silver flowing into the national treasury. These were several major projects that Chu Yun unified inside and outside the pass.

This kind of infrastructure project has a large investment and a long recycling cycle. If it weren't for the future of civilization, even Chu Yun wouldn't want to invest. Military operations are different. At least, it can quickly recover costs. For example, the Japanese Expeditionary Force led by Zheng Zhilong is expected to bring back one million taels of compensation.

"Oh, we have to build railways from Beijing to Jinan and Nanjing, and we have to connect the Mongolian Railway, the two Beijing Railways, and the Liaodong Railway. Now we have to build a national telegraph system, and no amount of money is enough. Not to mention that our capital has sent out the Xuanzheng envoys to reform the provincial governments and various governors, and every place has to spend money." Chen Ting stared at the general ledger book, as if he was afraid that the two sessions of the two sessions recorded in it would fly away with their wings.

"Old Chen, don't we still have tens of millions of taels of silver seized by Li Zicheng when we entered the capital? And the income obtained from maritime trade is continuously put into storage. It should not lead to financial collapse in a while, right?" A pretty woman came in with a stack of documents.

"Da Yu'er, you just entered the core of the Ministry of Revenue, and you can't experience a lot of pressure." Chen Ting reluctantly put down the general ledger and sighed, "I used to be a down-and-out small official. Fortunately, the military commander valued it, so he has the status today. I should work diligently and die before I die. But our military commander is good at everything, but there is one shortcoming, that is, if you don't take charge of your family, you don't know how expensive it is. Moreover, the military commander has a vision that is beyond ordinary people. Every huge project is a matter of benefiting the people, but our finances are tight."

Chen Ting has been calling for lack of money, and it is not the first time he calls from southern Liaoning to Liaodong. Because of the rapid expansion of the Jiuzhou Army in five or six years, the Jiuzhou Army has achieved very little savings. The few savings are also used to produce firearms, train new-style troops, and invest in factories. It can be said that they are invincible.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand why Chu Yun is sometimes forced to produce relatively backward arms exports overseas to support wars in other countries. Because the huge profits in arms can effectively alleviate the dilemma of the Jiuzhou Army's financial difficulties.

"But Mr. Chen, you think that the things we built will bring long-term benefits in the future. After a few years, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe, and then the annual fiscal revenue will be 100 million taels of silver. There are so many silver ingots in the national treasury that Mr. Chen can't count them. If you don't dream of laughing at that time?" Da Yuer smiled after putting down the document.

After Chu Yun captured the capital, he temporarily transitioned according to the model of the Six Ministry, but these Six Ministry were in name only. In fact, the Ministry of Revenue is similar to the Ministry of Finance and has the work of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, with the Ministry of Finance, the Civil Affairs Bureau, the Audit Office and other institutions. The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Justice were personally led by Chu Yun, the Ministry of Rites was the Academy of Sciences, and the Ministry of Industry was led by industrial construction institutions such as the Electric Power Bureau and the Engineering Bureau. Because it was only a transitional stage, the power was a bit concentrated and it would definitely be split in the future.

Because many old officials of the Ming Dynasty died in the turmoil of Li Zicheng, and a large number of officials were dissatisfied with the Jiuzhou Army or the pedantic ones, they were not qualified to serve in the new six ministries established by the Jiuzhou Army, so there was a large number of official gaps. Therefore, Chu Yun activated a group of young officials, and some even held multiple positions. For example, Da Yuer, who came from a famous family and was the first batch of outstanding students of the Academy of Sciences, was arranged to the busiest Ministry of Revenue, which is currently the busiest Ministry of Revenue. Because many public security envoys were sent by the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Revenue staff were in short supply!

Although Da Yuer is only an ordinary documentary in the Ministry of Revenue, she is currently in office at the Ministry of Revenue, which has the most say in the Ministry of Revenue except the Ministry of War, and some very important information must be passed through her hands. No one would believe that the little princess of the Korqin tribe in Mongolia would always hold a documentary position. This position was obviously established by the superiors to train young officials.

"Come on, then I will retire and return home and enjoy family happiness. How many people can be the Minister of Revenue in the past dynasties? It's enough. I still think about the smooth transition in the past few years." Chen Ting shook his head.

Following Chu Yun to the present, Chen Ting, who was already old, has entered his sixties.

"I see you. You keep the military leader talking all day long and dare not let go. Now the military leader is thinking about abolishing arranged marriages and free love, etc.? You little girl should practice it. I have lived to be old. I used to recite the Four Books and Five Classics and was complacent about it. I also wrote gossip articles like a pedantic literati. It was not until I followed the military leader to this day that I understood a truth..." Chen Ting said.

"What's the reason?" asked Da Yu'er.

"Go to the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues." Chen Tingyun said silly and gently, picking up the teacup at the corner of the table and drinking it as if he didn't take it seriously.
