Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Naturally, he was not afraid of being blamed by Zhu Yunhuan.

Muskets and flintlock rifles were no secret to them, and the two sides even had areas of cooperation, so it was not an act of presumption to just watch the fun.

After saying this, Zhang Yuqing congratulated Zhu Yunhuan again: "Your Majesty, I congratulate you on obtaining another divine artifact. The Ming Dynasty will surely prosper day by day."

It's just the way he looks.

This also made Wu Zhenhai and Kang Yunxiang next to them stunned again and again.

Although they were rough warriors trained in martial arts, they were likely to have read a few books to reach their positions and were familiar with Zhang Yuqing's etiquette. Not only was this disciple etiquette, but they also heard Zhang Yuqing, a renowned figure in the Zhengyi Sect, repeatedly calling himself "disciple"?

The two exchanged stunned shock, feeling that this scene was bizarre no matter how they looked at it: a Taoist master calling himself a "disciple" to a teenage emperor...

They were truly bewildered and confused – what on earth had happened to this world? It was so strange, as if they had never been here before?

But they have seen quite a bit of the world now.

Finally, I wasn't as dizzy and blind as I was at the beginning, and soon I had a vague guess in my mind:

"Could it be that... that 'fireproof vest' that Taoist Master Zhang and Lord Wang handed over earlier was also Your Majesty's idea!?"

"Well, although this does sound a bit outrageous, since Your Majesty was able to single-handedly improve upon the flawed and ineffective muskets, creating the modern-day muskets and even flintlock rifles..."

"Thinking about it this way, coming up with a fireproof suit...seems reasonable."

"Anyway, no matter what it is, it doesn't look like something a normal person would do."

With their previous experience, Wu Zhenhai and Kang Yunxiang finally began to keep up with the times and guessed the tip of the iceberg.

And they soon confirmed this guess in their hearts.

Zhu Yunhuan, upon hearing what Zhang Yuqing reported, smiled with satisfaction and nodded, saying, "It's two or three days earlier than you expected. The capabilities and efficiency of your Chemistry Department have always reassured me."

Zhang Yuqing couldn't help but reveal an expression of flattered joy on his face.

He immediately bowed and humbly declined, "This is all thanks to your Majesty's guidance. Otherwise, this fireproof clothing would have been impossible to make. With your Majesty's advice, I just spent a little more time and effort."

Zhu Yunhuan chuckled, "If I hadn't had the tireless dedication of everyone in the Chemistry and Firearms departments, I don't know how much more effort I would have had to put in to achieve today's results. You don't have to refuse the credit. I will reward you all in the future, hahahaha!"

Zhu Yunhuan used the same trick again, painting a pie in the sky first to keep the enthusiasm of the employees.

Zhang Yuqing's eyes were filled with excitement. "This is Your Majesty's kindness and grace. I, your disciple, will never forget it!"

Wu Zhenhai and Kang Yunxiang on the side couldn't help but curl their lips when they heard this.

That's our guess.

I never thought that this matter was really done by Your Majesty...

Originally, they just saw Zhang Yuqing's outrageous behavior towards Zhu Yunhuan, so they started to make outrageous guesses in their hearts... But the facts turned out to be just as they guessed, and went in an outrageous direction.

What the hell is this?

The two of them were speechless and incredulous...

Zhu Yunhuan finished painting the pie, and he stopped talking to Zhang Yuqing. Instead, he looked back at the flintlock rifle in Wang Jinnian's hand. He seemed to be silent and thoughtful for a moment, and then slowly said:

"Flintlock rifles, the first batch of fireproof clothing... I came to the Alchemy Department today, it seems like a coincidence, these are all great things."

"Now that the flintlock rifle has been successfully developed and has passed inspection, the next step is of course to put it into production immediately. The sooner we do it, the more power our Ming Dynasty will gain. Wang Jinnian, I will leave this matter to you."

Zhu Yunhuan immediately made arrangements for the plan of the Firearms Department - the power that truly belonged to him, to Zhu Yunhuan, of course, the more the better.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Jinnian immediately accepted the order solemnly.

But then a hint of hesitation and doubt appeared on his face. He frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Zhu Yunhuan tentatively, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, will the production of the matchlock guns, which have been intensively ramped up, be stopped?"

Of course, this should be the case.

However, Wang Jinnian was a cautious, meticulous and serious person, so he still asked a question.

It was a good thing he asked this question.

Zhu Yunhuan immediately gave him a negative answer: "Stop production? Why stop production? Flintlock rifles must be put into production immediately, and the original matchlock rifles must continue to be produced."

Hearing Zhu Yunhuan's words that went against the grain.

Wang Jinnian and everyone else present had expressions of surprise, surprise, and bewilderment on their faces - of course, the stronger the weapon, the better. Compared to the original matchlock rifles that still needed to be ignited, the flintlock rifles were obviously much more effective... Why not devote all their efforts to producing flintlock rifles, but instead allocate production capacity to matchlock rifles?

"This..." Wang Jinnian hesitated and didn't accept the order immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and said solemnly, "The production of matchlock rifles will continue... Although I personally think this is unreasonable, I also know that Your Majesty's arrangements are always flawless and he must have his own considerations. I wonder if I am qualified to ask?"

Yes, at this point, even though he felt that Zhu Yunhuan's decision seemed unreasonable and problematic, Wang Jinnian also felt that he was not thinking high enough.

As a half-disciple of Zhu Yunhuan who had been influenced by the academic atmosphere of the Alchemy Department for many years, he was not afraid that asking questions would be inappropriate or would bring him trouble.

"what?"

Wu Zhenhai and Kang Yunxiang obviously do not understand Wang Jinnian's absolute trust now.

Looking at Wang Jinnian's confused face.

At the same time, he discovered that except for the two of them, everyone else was waiting for Zhu Yunhuan's answer with curiosity after Wang Jinnian finished speaking.

They felt…that something was wrong.

Why do these people in the Alchemy Department look like they've joined some kind of cult, like they've been completely brainwashed? They look downright weird! And the two of them just don't fit in.

Of course, they only secretly criticized it in their hearts.

At this time.

The smartest thing to do is to minimize your presence.

Zhu Yunhuan pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "I should let you know this."

"In terms of scientific research, innovation, and weapons manufacturing, you must always keep this theory in mind: 'Update one generation, develop one generation, and conduct pre-research one generation.' I will refer to this as the 'three generations.'"
