Chapter 172: Holding the Sky with One Hand

Zhu Cihong's heart moved, and he led Zhao Shiyao to continue watching.

The military area of Qiming City was the first to be completed. It is completely set up from the smelting workshop, the mechanical workshop, the armor workshop, the fire hammer workshop, the artillery workshop, the ordnance workshop to the military auxiliary equipment workshop.

However, the workshop in the military area occupies a larger area than the entire Qiming City.

Here, there are all kinds of brick and stone buildings, people come and go, and they are full of vitality. If it weren't for the soldiers patrolling along the way, it would not be inferior to Kaifeng City.

When Zhu Cihong walked in, Li Jun, who was in charge of the military research and development in Zhu Cihong's hands, came. There was also a young man with smart eyebrows and delicate appearance beside Li Jun, Zhu Cihong remembered this person.

Coupled with a few administrative officials who had a sparse impression of Zhu Cihong, the group hurriedly ran over and saluted Zhu Cihong from afar.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong suddenly felt a little helpless in his heart. When the identity of the imperial prince was not announced, there was not so much red tape here, Zhu Cihong came to watch it, said it when he saw it, and listened to the person in charge or defended it. In the end, there is no delay in such a process, and the work is vigorous and resolute.

But now, such a courtesy is something that no one would rather delay than ignore it.

"No courtesy. I'll come over today and take a look. Speaking of which, I have an impression of this young man. Zhu Cihong smiled and eased the atmosphere: "Yueqing Zhao, Mr. Houhu's little grandson?" Zhao Zhenhui? ”

"Yes! It is a great honor for the students to be remembered by His Royal Highness. Zhao Zhenhui looked excited.

Zhu Cihong bowed slightly, he could know this stubble, but it was also the ability of Zhang Zhen and Yang Wenyue. Zhu Cihong specially gave Zhang Zhen a task to collect skilled craftsmen from all over the world. asked a question every three or five times, which made Zhang Zhen extremely concerned.

Speaking of which. has such a hard military feat of defeating Li Zicheng, and behind it is the name of the crown prince. Coupled with the generosity of Zhang Zhen's subordinates, there were more and more skilled craftsmen under Li Jun for a while. And the R&D strength in Zhu Cihong's hands has also begun to grow rapidly.

In the private letters to and from the Beijing Division, Si Qi all joked that the craftsmen who could be used by the Beijing Military War Bureau had been hollowed out, and now the idea of those fugitive masters has been raised.

However, although ordinary craftsmen have a low status, as long as they are promised benefits and trusted, they can be dug up with little effort. But there are too few masters who can make Zhu Cihong have an impression and leave their names in the history books.

Zhao Shizhen. is a person Zhu Cihong remembers deeply.

As for the reason, it is also simple, the rocket slip, the Lu Mi gun and even the electric gun are all written by this person.

It's just that this firearm with both civil and military skills and great ambitions has been ruined all his life, and there are no talents among his children, but after some investigation, he found that there is a little grandson who is particularly fond of the suicide note left by Zhao Shizhen. The books left by Zhao Shizhen, "Artifact Spectrum" and "Beibian Tuntian Gun", were all turned over, and he even had his own firecracker at hand, which undoubtedly made Zhu Cihong very happy.

It's just that studying and taking the Jinshi exam in this era is the right way. No matter how high Zhang Zhen is, when he hears that he wants to be a craftsman, he will not be looked down upon. In the end, it was Yang Wenyue who came out. The letter was sent to Zhejiang in the same year that he served as the envoy, which offset the resistance of the Zhao clan and finally invited the descendants of the firearms master.

"Mr. Houhu's ability. Lone is understood. It is a cause that benefits the present and merits the future. It's just that the time is short-lived. Firearms cannot be made important. So far, he has deeply felt the importance of firearms and military industry. So. Lone has a plan, you as the Yueqing Zhao family, listen to it today, if you can, I will take Mr. Houhu's name and use it! Zhu Cihong said softly, although it was a joke, he couldn't hide the vast pattern in his chest.

When Zhao Zhenhui heard this, it was too late to rejoice, where did he dare to put his beak, but his chest was full of joy...... Fortunately, I was bored with reading back then, and I turned over my grandfather's collection of books and started playing with ordnance one by one, otherwise, how could I have the trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today? With the trust of this great man in front of him, as long as he doesn't die, it will be the future of turning over and making a fortune!

"But please speak up, the student will bear the objections within the clan here, and it will be handled for His Highness" Zhao Zhenhui was so excited that he couldn't wait to dissect his heart.

Zhu Cihong called someone to get a pen and paper, and the pen walked and wrote down four strong and powerful characters: "Zhao Shizhen Award." ”

In the future, Hengxin Commercial Bank will make a special budget to select the Zhao Shizhen Award every six months in the first three years. Reward those who come up with brilliant ideas and design excellent construction methods in military research and development. I can reveal to you first that the reward will be as high as 10,000 taels of silver! Zhu Cihong chuckled, looked around at the master craftsmen who quietly gathered around, listened to the hissing sound everywhere, and understood that these people were all gasping and were shocked.

As if he was not satisfied, Zhu Cihong said leisurely: "Not only that, but in this Qiming City. Any artisan who is duly registered will be exempt from forced labor. After the formal establishment of Qiming City, the orphan society will officially write and set up an eight-level work system. Craftsmen who have been rated can get the opportunity to study in the Qiming branch of Guozijian and get the treatment of a prisoner. As for the eighth-level worker, I will even hire him to serve as a supervisor of the country. ”

The implication is that the official body has a chance!

How can this not make the craftsmen who have been used to being lowly all their lives, not being cherished, and not being looked at squarely in an uproar. Several old craftsmen even rushed over and desperately asked Zhu Cihong about the details of the eighth-level labor system.

After Zhu Cihong revealed the general direction of literacy and hyphenation requirements and process assessment, he threw the problem to Chang Zhilang, who rushed over, and then quietly entered the workshop area with Zhao Shiyao, who was stunned on the side.

"I wonder why I value craftsmen so much, right?" Zhu Cihong walked forward.

Zhao Shiyao didn't react a little, and guessed that Zhu Cihong had great confidence with her intelligence. But this concept of transcending the ages is indeed beyond the scope of her little head: "Your Highness...... This will be terrifying to the people of the world. ”

Zhu Cihong just didn't say anything.

Along the way, Zhu Cihong took a few people who were familiar with the workshop area into the workshop.

Soon, even Zhu Cihong couldn't recognize the standard workpieces, windows, and tools that were introduced by trembling craftsmen.

Li Jun demonstrated the construction of the firecracker, the master from Beijing demonstrated the pouring of the artillery, and the small blast furnace from Fujian practiced the molten iron one furnace after another.

Along the way, Zhu Cihong was surprisingly silent.

Only when Zhu Cihong led Zhao Shiyao to an extremely large and extremely heavily guarded area, and even Ning Wei had entered the area several times, Zhao Shiyao slightly understood.

"Three thousand steel long knives. Eighty pairs of steel plate armor, 1,500 cotton armor, 2,000 guns, 20 Fulang cannons, and 5 Hongyi cannons. 300 carts. Guess what, how long is this production in common sense? Zhu Cihong turned around and held his hands behind his back: "This is the confidence of my one hand to support the sky!" (To be continued.) )
