This has a great regulating effect on the atmosphere of the entire officialdom.

At least it is more difficult to get to the top through pure flattery.

For the sake of future career development, grassroots officials must make some achievements, even if they are trying to show off, otherwise there will be no possibility of moving up the ranks.

Just doing this seems simple, but for today's Ming Dynasty, it is already good news for the people.

In most places, they don't even bother to show off, and the whole sky is completely dark.

On Zhu Yuanzhang's side, he quite recognized Sun's desire to enhance and radiate the influence of the Ming Dynasty.

I am also extremely satisfied with the current development of Ming Dynasty.

When I am bored, I will go to various military camps to see how soldiers are training. I always smile when I see the orderly and solemn troops.

But just when everything was going smoothly.

A piece of news came back from the Japanese country, which made Zhu Yuanzhang immediately furious.

Zhu Ying happened to be in the Gunpowder Department that day, checking on the latest modifications to the matchlock gun.

The production of flintlock guns is already on the agenda according to the current level.

If the flintlock gun can be developed, then the entire Ming army will be completely improved in terms of individual combat capabilities.

However, the flintlock gun sounds simple to say, but in fact it is not difficult to actually make it. What is difficult is the stability.

This involves an extremely precise structure.

Nowadays, some skilled craftsmen can make relatively stable flintlock guns, but the cost is too high, almost all of them are polished by hand, and it still cannot achieve the point of a gun.

From a comprehensive consideration, it is not as good as the flintlock gun that is now a mature industry.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty Taisun, skilled craftsmen from all over the country have been summoned here to start thinking about the flintlock gun. I believe that it will not take too long to reach the preliminary production."

In the Gunpowder Department, Zhao Xiangxi said seriously.

Although Zhao Xiangxi now has the title of concubine of the grandson, she has not stayed in Kunning Palace for a long time. She is still responsible for the production control of the entire Gunpowder Department and the research of flintlock guns.

At this point, although some people secretly complained, Zhu Ying never cared about these opinions.

Zhu Ying has never practiced the saying that it is a virtue for a woman to have no talent.

Being able to get things done, both men and women can do it.

Besides, Zhao Xiangxi was one of his own now. Zhu Ying was really worried about entrusting such an important place as the Gunpowder Department to eunuchs who were not very knowledgeable.

As for this technical leak, it doesn't mean much.

A complete industrial system does not mean that one or two people can completely imitate it. The manpower, material and financial resources required here are huge.

Regarding firearms, Zhu Ying followed some regulations from his previous life. Any imitation or other forms of private production found among the people would be a serious crime.

With the current development of firearms, even though they are widely used in the army, they are still very unfamiliar to the common people.

"There is no need to worry too much about the flintlock gun. We have plenty of time. The main thing is to improve our current smelting level and make better refined iron and steel."

"Excavation has begun in many areas around the mineral deposits. I have also sent orders to maritime merchants to make more acquisitions to lay the foundation for subsequent production."

Zhao Xiangxi nodded and said, "I understand."

At this time, a eunuch from the palace hurried over: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has an order to urgently summon His Highness back to the palace."

Zhu Ying frowned.

Generally speaking, the old man would not recruit him back like this, there must be something going on.

Asked: "Do you know what it is?"
