Chapter 108 The new era of Ming Dynasty has begun!(2/2)

Zhu Yunzhen nodded with satisfaction.

Is there no talented people in China?

However, it has not been properly utilized and the talents have been buried.

This led to later falling behind the West in the wave of the Industrial Revolution.

Now, he has pointed out the direction for the development of technology, and there is no need to explore the way. He also encourages people to make full use of their talents and expertise. I believe that it will not take long before the results will be seen.

Immediately, Zhu Yunxuan proposed a new idea.

Make cannons.

That is, the Fran cannon, which is also a rapid-fire cannon.

Compared to breech-loading guns, although the Folan cannon is huge, its mechanism is much simpler.

But this kind of gun has many advantages over the guns currently used by the Ming army.

The first is rapid fire.

Secondly, it has fast heat dissipation and strong continuous shooting ability, which also greatly reduces the possibility of natural gunpowder.

Furthermore, the capacity of the sub-cannon is determined and the amount of ammunition loaded is constant, so there will be no explosion accidents due to overloading.

"This cannon is called the Invincible General Cannon. It was designed by Gu and must be manufactured as soon as possible."

Zhu Yunxuan handed the drawings and instructions written by himself to the officials in charge of Shibafang.

He also ordered: "Gu is just a preliminary idea. If the craftsmen find any problems during manufacturing or have better ideas, they can send someone to report to Gu and make improvements."

"If the suggestions for improvement are truly useful, I will be greatly rewarded."

To be honest, he had no idea.

There is always a gap between theory and practice. Although this gun is not very complicated, he is also worried that he has missed something.

Ma He had been watching from the side and was filled with admiration when he saw the invincible general cannon designed by Zhu Yunzhen.

From Ma He's perspective, he could naturally see how extraordinary this cannon was.

Compared with the big guns used by the Ming Dynasty, they are much higher.

You know, at this time, even the Hongyi cannon was not equipped.

Before that, the Ming army only had a few simple types of firecrackers.

This is the result of Zhu Yuanzhang attaching great importance to development.

But Zhu Yuanxu suddenly proposed to manufacture a very advanced invincible general cannon, and also gave a specific manufacturing plan.

How could it not be shocking?

The more I know about the emperor's grandson, the more unfathomable he becomes.

Literary ability can shock the world by writing poems, and wisdom can enter the court to stabilize the country and stabilize the country.

It is unbelievable that he is only a seven-year-old child.

Ma He had always admired Zhu Di, King of Yan, and felt that there was no more hero in the world than King Yan.

But since he met Zhu Yunzhen, he really saw what a genius in the world is!

When he thought of his latent mission, Ma He felt confused again.

Do you want to be his enemy?

Not right either.

Dao Yan's explanation seems to have something else in mind.

Zhu Yunxuan was still busy with his own affairs. After drawing the design drawings of the invincible general cannon and writing the instructions, he delivered a speech to the craftsmen.

"The Ming court placed you in Jinling not as a punishment for you, but to reuse you."

These were the first words he spoke.

Zhu Yunzhen knew that many craftsmen were dissatisfied with the imperial court's move of them to Jinling City.

People in this era attach great importance to their hometown and nostalgia.

Unless absolutely necessary, no one is willing to leave their hometown.

Ming Dynasty migration was compulsory, but not voluntary.

However, it would be different if you are a candidate for examination, become a Jinshi, or enter the court as an official.

What does it mean to leave your hometown in order to get ahead?

"You are all outstanding craftsmen, able to make all kinds of utensils needed by the court and the people."

"The development of Ming Dynasty cannot be separated from your efforts. The future of Ming Dynasty rests on your shoulders."

"Anyone among you who has any inventions or ideas that are beneficial to the court, the people, or the country can submit them to Gu."

"If you adopt it, I will definitely reward you generously."

"Soon after, I will set up a Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau, and select outstanding ones from among you to join, and be given official status and receive royal salary."

"If you can make outstanding contributions, it is not impossible to be granted a title of marquis or knight in the future."

"I hope that all of you can work together to benefit the Ming Dynasty, the people, and the world."

"And create a great future for yourself and your descendants."

When Zhu Yunxuan said this, he actually bent down and bowed: "Please!"

Below, countless craftsmen were stunned and in disbelief.

The country values ​​scholars and talents.

It is not unprecedented for a superior to treat the virtuous and the corporal with extremely high courtesy.

But those they respect and worship must be great Confucians and scholars.

When will it be the turn of these lowly and humble craftsmen?

Only His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun would do this.

At this moment, all the craftsmen were so excited that they could hardly contain themselves.

Have we also become talents of the Ming Dynasty?

How could we be treated with such courtesy by His Royal Highness the Emperor?

They couldn't believe their eyes, all of them were glazed over, as if they were petrified.

After a long while, someone shouted loudly: "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor. We will work hard for the people, the Ming Dynasty, and the world until death."

A craftsman who had read many books was the first to kneel down.

Only then did all the craftsmen come to their senses and knelt down one after another.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor. We will work hard for the people, the Ming Dynasty, and the world until death."

"For the people, for the Ming Dynasty, for the world, I will devote myself to it until death."

One cry after another, one wave after another.

Among the shouts, many were in tears.

They are just the humblest craftsmen, but they are treated like this by the majestic grandson.

For every dog-slaughtering person who is righteous, there are many scholars who are unfaithful.

Most of these craftsmen do not read much and can only know a few words and can read drawings.

But they know how to repay kindness better than those scholars who talk about benevolence, righteousness, morality, and the poems of Confucius all day long.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, has been sincere to me, and I will repay you with sincerity.

Not to mention, there are also generous rewards from high-ranking officials, generous salaries, and titles.

Then what else is there to think about.

Fight.

Many of them also make some toys or various tools out of hobbies, but they are often shelved.

Now, His Highness the Emperor Sun made a heavy promise and placed high hopes on them, which immediately ignited the fire of hope in their hearts.

Zhu Yunzhen did not expect that his speech and actions today would have such a big effect.
