Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

The road, which was rolled back and forth by heavy trucks, was already as smooth as a cement floor.

The emperor's car arrived at the dock without any bumps.

After getting off the carriage, Zhu Youjian looked up and saw a big black guy standing on the shore on a special boat more than three feet long.

This is the steam engine ship built by Wang Zhengxin.

Looking at the steam engine ship in front of him that was still in its original state, Zhu Youjian wanted to look up to the sky and laugh.

The glory of China will surely be recaptured in my hands again!

When the emperor and his entourage arrived, the two brothers Wang Yongchun and Wang Yongshun were already ready.

After receiving the emperor's order, the two men filled the coal into the boiler with their own hands. Under the blowing of the blower, the thick smoke shot straight into the sky.

About an hour later, the boiler started boiling.

Wang Zheng bent down and said:

"Your Majesty, please inspect this ship!"

"good!"

Accompanied by Wang Zheng and others, Zhu Youjian got on the boat.

Wang Zheng manipulated the operating lever with his own hands and suddenly pulled the handle, and the paddle wheel was connected to the steam boiler.

"Bang bang bang!"

The heavy runner, driven by the crank, pushes the paddle wheel and stirs up waves.

The ship shook suddenly and rushed forward.

Like an arrow off the string.

The steam engine boiler designed by Wang Zheng is as tall as a person. Even if it is used to power a ship with three thousand materials, it can still be pushed.

A steam engine placed on such a ten-meter-long and three-meter-wide boat would be extremely powerful.

A white trail lay flat on the calm river surface.

The ripples turned into ripples and surged into the distance.

Zhu Youjian secretly estimated that the speed would be at least ten knots.

This is close to 18 kilometers per hour!

Although compared to later generations, this speed is comparable to a snail, and is only slightly faster than the economic sailing speed of a cargo ship.

However, you must know that this is the first generation steam engine, and even the paddles are paddle wheels.

If the propeller is replaced by a propeller, and the steam engine is improved to a multi-expansion steam engine, then...

All over the world, where can’t I go?

……

When the ship docked, Zhu Youjian was overjoyed and said immediately:

"Wang Zheng listens to the title!"

Wang Zheng and others hurriedly bent down and clasped their fists, waiting for the emperor's reward.

"Feng Wang Zheng is appointed as the Chancellor of the Imperial Heavy Weapons Bureau of the Ming Dynasty, and temporarily holds the title of Chief of the Third Grade. The rest are chief ministers, engaged, etc., and hold the title of Grade Five or below.

The king was given three thousand silver coins, and the rest were each given varying rewards.

In addition, I gave this thing the name steam engine, which is a secret that has not been passed down to me in China.

The Heavy Weapons Bureau is classified as an internal jurisdiction, and the Yulin Guards are responsible for guarding it. Anyone who peeks without my personal orders will be killed! "

"Thank you Lord Ron!"

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for this generous gift, our Emperor's holy grace."

Everyone hurriedly thanked him.

Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Chengen:

"Master Wang, please ask someone to come up with 20 silver dollars and give it to everyone according to their merits."

Everyone was shouting "Long Live the Mountain" again, and everyone was very excited.

Do your best for the country and do things as you should.

However, the emperor's affirmation and praise are the greatest recognition for them!

No matter how much the emperor's reward is, it is the greatest respect for them!

This is the biggest source of motivation for these researchers.

……

Wang Chengen hurriedly wrote it down.

Zhu Youjian waited for everyone to cheer for a while, then pressed down his hands. Soon, everyone fell into silence, quietly waiting for the emperor's next instruction.

"Everyone, the new capital has been built. I am busy with mundane affairs every day, so I don't have much time to come. I know that I have neglected you, so I will apologize to you here first."

Zhu Youjian's words only made everyone feel warm again in their eyes.

Your Majesty is so kind to us!

Your Majesty is so busy, but he still remembers us and apologizes to us dark craftsmen...

The emperor's grace is mighty!

Everyone hurriedly said that the emperor's words were serious.

Several older craftsmen couldn't help but wipe the corners of their eyes with their sleeves.

Damn the wind in the river was so strong that the sand got into my eyes.

Zhu Youjian looked around and said seriously:

“You are all craftsmen with superb skills, and all your works are important weapons for the military and state, and are the basis for the survival of the country!

On behalf of the soldiers who are fighting on the battlefield, I would like to thank you all! "

Zhu Youjian bent down slightly and saluted everyone.

Seeing the emperor salute them, everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly bent down to the ground and apologized incessantly.

Zhu Youjian paused and continued:

"The Royal Heavy Weapons Bureau is related to the future of our Ming Dynasty, and this matter cannot be taken lightly.

Just go about your work with peace of mind and leave all the trivial matters in life to me!

I will make a promise to you today. As long as you work hard, you will not be left with no shortage at home! "

Zhu Youjian turned to look at Wang Chengen:

"Your Majesty, Governor Wang, set aside a separate area for me in the outer city of the new capital, called the workshop area. It will be defended by city walls. You will dispatch a team of construction craftsmen to build houses.

Each of the smallest ones has three main rooms, four opposite side rooms, and a courtyard with a gate.

There are also courtyards with back gardens, courtyards with two entrances, courtyards with three entrances, and even mansions with six entrances! "

Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed.

As a minister, he is not afraid of the heavy responsibilities given by the emperor, but he is afraid that the emperor will not use him!

Being able to do things by yourself means that the emperor believes in himself.

Wang Chengen secretly thought that he must handle this matter personally, and there must be no mistakes at all!

Zhu Youjian looked at the expectant craftsmen and said with a smile:

"These houses are all given to you by me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the generous gift!"

The craftsmen cheered.

Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Zheng:

"Wang Qing, please come up with a set of rewards and punishments. Decide on nine levels of meritorious service. Those who have done the most meritorious deeds will not only receive free houses, but also obtain official status!

Even the lowest level of meritorious service must be rewarded with money and food! "

Wang Zheng hurriedly bent down:

"The minister obeys the order!"

"I would like to thank these craftsmen for your generous gifts!"

Zhu Youjian nodded, looked at the craftsmen, and said loudly:

"Everyone, don't be afraid that I can't get the reward. What you should worry about is whether you can get the highest reward!

I made it clear today that as long as I have made meritorious deeds, my rewards will not be capped!

If you can reach the level of Wang Zheng, I will not hesitate to give you the favor of the third grade high position! "

The craftsmen were excited and couldn't help cheering:

"Long live Your Majesty!

Long live Your Majesty!

"Long live Your Majesty!"

……

Dozens of carriages, escorted by soldiers, arrived at Wang Zheng's Heavy Equipment Bureau workshop.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand, and the soldiers opened the boxes one by one, revealing various supplies.

Wang Zheng had already organized the craftsmen to line up. At this time, everyone was eagerly looking at the materials on the carriage and excited.

Zhu Youjian stepped on the shaft of the car so that everyone could see him.

He took the tin trumpet from Wang Chengen and said loudly:

"Everyone, the rewards for your merits and achievements have not yet been calculated. These things are my thanks for your hard work these days. They are all allocated from my own funds to reward you."
