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

"Yes, Your Majesty! After your guidance, I have already figured out a lot about this."

"Your Majesty has commanded me to go through fire and water, even if it means death!"

This is the greatest encouragement and motivation for anyone.

Naturally, Wang Jinnian was eager to throw himself into it without sleep or food.

After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something, and said to Zhu Yunhuan: "Your Majesty, there is something I don't understand."

"Speak!" Zhu Yunhuan said concisely.

Wang Jinnian pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "The current matchlock rifle still needs my improvement, but as Your Majesty said, after the matchlock, there are even better flintlock rifles and even needle-percussion rifles... If I can debug the 'three-point-one-line shooting device' Your Majesty mentioned, should the Alchemy Department immediately start production?"

Development is one thing, and large-scale production is another. Of course, this matter still needs Zhu Yunhuan's approval.

His question is the most practical one.

Zhu Yunhuan smiled faintly and said without hesitation, "Of course we should produce them! The more the better! The matchlock gun has already achieved such an effect in your hands, so its practicality is there! Of course, there's no need to worry about it being useless!"

"The Ming Dynasty boasts millions of soldiers, but how many garrisons are there? The remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in northern Mobei, the Koreans in Liaodong, the chieftains in Yunnan... all present hidden dangers. With this opportunity, are we just going to sit around and wait? Of course, we're going to do whatever we can!"

Of course, Zhu Yunhuan himself had thought about this question.

Today's matchlock guns are completely different from those in history. The barrel material is already high-quality, and the gunpowder used is smokeless gunpowder instead of the previous black powder with many disadvantages...

Compared to the matchlock gun in history.

It is many times stronger.

The difference between it and a flintlock rifle is just the ignition point.

Zhu Yuanzhang had previously stipulated that "every hundred households should have ten muskets", but some garrisons could not keep up, not to mention that Zhu Yunhuan would definitely have to gradually complete the iteration from cold weapons to hot weapons in the army in the future.

As you can imagine, this demand gap is huge!

How many guns the Alchemy Bureau produces now will be used in the future!

and.

From the matchlock gun to the flintlock gun and then to the needle gun, the difficulty and complexity are increasing. Zhu Yunhuan can't tell when the next generation of finished products will be available. There is such a long time gap in between, and this production capacity should be wasted!

Nothing can be accomplished overnight or in one step.

Besides, what is my country's military tradition? Release one generation, keep it secret, then develop another. There has to be a trump card at all times, right?

Zhu Yunhuan probably had many considerations in mind. Although he only mentioned one of them, Wang Jinnian and the others understood it clearly. They immediately showed a look of enlightenment on their faces: "Yes! Your Majesty! It is my humble servant who is stupid!"

Zhu Yunhuan smiled faintly: "I have seen the effect today. It is already very perfect. In addition to Wang Jinnian's aiming device, you can start production directly after debugging it."

"It's rare for you to come up with such results in such a short time, and you have done a great deed! Once the final product is put into production, I will reward you according to your merits!" There has to be pressure, and of course motivation.

In most cases, no feelings or ideals or interests can be as real as real money.

If you want the horses to run, of course they have to be well fed. Zhu Yunhuan understood that there will always be brave men under great rewards, so he never hesitated to reward those who did things that were really important.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up - no one would refuse such a benefit.

Of course, they also knew their limits. Even though they felt itchy inside, they managed to control themselves and declined one after another:

"Your Majesty, you are too kind!"

"We are able to achieve today's results, all thanks to your Majesty's guidance. Without your guidance, how could we have come up with so many good ideas?"

"We, your humble servants, absolutely dare not take credit for anything!"

"That's right! Your Majesty is doing this for us, for the Ming Dynasty and its people. Everything we do here is what we should do!"

"..."

Zhu Yunhuan didn't say much about everyone's refusal. He just said lightly: "Any merit is a merit. I know the right and wrong of merits and demerits. I came here at the right time. I have seen everything and explained everything. You guys, continue to work hard."

Originally, he just wanted to come over to see what was going on, but he was actually quite surprised. However, now that the matter was over, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

Having said that, he prepared to go back.

But at this time.

A series of hurried footsteps could be heard from the doorway again. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound cautiously, only to see a Taoist priest in a gray robe approaching. "Master Liu? And Master Zhang, Master Ma, and Master Yuan?"

Everyone was in the Alchemy Department, so they naturally believed that the person who came was Liu Yuanran, the famous alchemist in the world. Following him were Zhang Yuqing, Ma Rui, and Yuan Gong.

Liu Yuanran walked over hurriedly.

He bowed to Zhu Yunhuan and said, "Disciple Liu Yuanran pays respect to Your Majesty! I have been confused recently and am delighted to hear that Your Majesty has come to the Alchemy Department. I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to give me some advice."

However, before Zhu Yunhuan could say anything.

Just then, another "boom" sound was heard...
