Although the increase in population was a good thing.
However, this time, the population had more than doubled.
Zhu Shengkai was both happy and troubled.
There weren't that many houses in the new capital.
The wooden houses that had been built previously could only accommodate less than 10,000 people.
Now, there were 10,000 new people.
Including the original number, there were fourteen thousand people.
Zhu Shengkai couldn't possibly let the four thousand extra people sleep in the open, right?
These were all his people.
Zhu Shengkai had no choice but to order a batch of canvas from the textile mill to be used to build tents for four thousand people next to the new capital.
Fortunately, they had enough cloth like canvas to produce enough clothes to sell to California and the other states of the United States.
It shouldn't rain tonight, so it was enough to use a canvas to block the wind.
Zhu Shengkai also distributed enough coal and firewood for heating at night.
There wasn't enough housing at the moment, so they could only suffer for the time being.
Regarding this, the newly joined people of Great Ming did not have any complaints.
"Tonight, we will unify the population and conduct a population survey. Then tomorrow, we will send people to pull over the wreckage of the six treasured ships by the coast.”
"They are all high-grade wood. We can also use those wood to build some houses.”
Zhu Shengkai thought.
In the future, the new capital would be like this. They would collect data and arrange jobs for the 10,000 new people to build their own houses.
"Patriarch, these newcomers are all Han people who share the same roots as us Yin people, right?”
On the streets of the new capital, a Yin woman said as she looked at the Han people who were building houses. There were obviously two to three times more people in the new capital and they were working in full swing.
She looked at the Han people's faces, looks, and skin. They were all very similar to the Yin people, so she felt very close to them.
"I've already said, don't call me Clan Leader anymore. We're all people of Great Ming, you should call me Empress.”
Spirit Cat glanced at the Yin woman and said.
"Yes, Empress."
The Yin woman was obviously not familiar with the Han language, so she said the Han word somewhat stiffly.
"Let's go find His Majesty. His Majesty probably hasn't had lunch yet.”
The Spirit Cat was holding a wooden lunch box. There was a wooden handle on the top of the lunch box. It was divided into several layers and could be taken out separately.
It was a traditional Chinese product.
Every day when Zhu Shengkai dealt with government affairs and did not have time to eat, it was the spirit cat, who was a concubine, who sent it to Zhu Shengkai.
Today, Zhu Shengkai was not in his usual office.
The Spirit Cat found it strange and asked an officer on duty at the door,""Where did His Majesty go?"
The officer quickly bowed and stood up straight.""Replying to Civet Concubine, His Majesty is currently inspecting a new batch of medicine in the laboratory.”
Zhu Shengkai had a laboratory in Xindu.
They were all using equipment from this era.
In the middle of the 19th century, although it was not as advanced as the later generations, there were still some glass test tubes and chemical experiment equipment.
There were not many medical talents in Xindu City, so Zhu Shengkai had to do the experiment on Quinvanamin and Penicilin himself.
At the same time, he would personally conduct experiments and production. At the same time, he would teach a group of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty the process of producing Kunphanamin and Penicilin.
Even Zhu Shengkai felt a little emotional.
The current Da Ming, no matter what, had to be a talent in the army.
But this was something that couldn't be helped. After all, all of Da Ming's high-quality talents were in the army.
When the spirit cat arrived at the laboratory, the Ming soldiers guarding the door did not let the spirit cat in."Concubine niangniang, His Majesty is currently busy, please come back later.”
"When will Your Majesty finish? Be careful not to tire him out."
The Spirit Cat felt sorry for her husband and asked with great concern.
"There should be a result today."
the soldier said.
Spirit Cat felt sorry for Zhu Shengkai, but it was unwilling to leave. It just waited at the door.
At this moment, Wei Xian walked over. As soon as he saw the Spirit Cat, he quickly turned around and went to find Zhu Shengkai's cloak.
Then, he quickly ran over and put it on the Spirit Cat, saying in a panic,"Aiyo, consort niangniang, the weather is cold. Be careful of your body. If you are sick, His Majesty will definitely blame you.”
"It's fine. I'll wait for His Majesty to come out."
The civet cat wrapped itself in Zhu Shengkai's cloak, still holding the lunchbox in its hand.
"Niangniang, you should go back and rest. If there's anything, just leave it to this servant.”
"What this servant does is to serve people.”
Wei Xian said as he took the lunch box from Spirit Cat.
"Wei Xian, you must remind His Majesty to eat and not starve.”
After Wei Xian's repeated persuasion, the Spirit Cat handed the lunch box to him and said something before leaving.
"Niangniang, don't worry. The weather is cold. If you are sick, then if His Majesty blames you, this servant will not be able to bear it.”
Wei Xian let out a sigh of relief after sending the Spirit Cat.
On such a cold day, the concubines had to personally deliver food to the Emperor.
That would be terrible.
Wei Xian waited at the door. Not long after, the laboratory door opened. A group of soldiers and officers surrounded the young and handsome Ming Emperor and walked out.
As the young emperor walked, he said to the soldiers and officers beside him,""Have you all memorized the steps just now?”
"I've remembered everything, Your Majesty."
The officers and soldiers around answered.
"Mm, that's good. We can't make any mistakes in the production of this medicine.”
"In the future, the lives of many people in our Great Ming will all depend on this medicine.”
Zhu Shengkai nodded slightly and then saw Wei Xian.
Wei Xian quickly walked up with the lunch box in his hand and said to Zhu Shengkai,""Lord Wansui, the Spirit Cat Concubine came over just now and wanted to deliver food to you.”
"This servant was worried about the concubine niangniang, afraid that she would catch a cold, so I took the meal and waited for you here.”
Zhu Shengkai heard this and said,"The Spirit Cat has gone back to rest now, right?"”
