Hearing Yan Ling's words, the craftsman was stunned.
He had heard what Yan Ling just said, that was going to be mass-produced! And naming him after himself means that his name will become famous all over the world as the Luzon Army conquers the north and south!
He, a small craftsman, actually got the opportunity to leave his name in history!
He never dreamed that he would receive such an honor!
However, Yan Ling's rewards don't stop there.
"I think this year's Tiangong Award has already been awarded." Yan Ling looked at the craftsman and said with a smile.
When the craftsman heard this, his face turned redder and his breathing became very rapid, as if he had just run a thousand meters.
That’s a heavenly award! Since its establishment in the early years of Jiajing, it has been the highest award of Tiangong Institute. It is evaluated once a year. The winner will not only have huge reputation, but also receive a reward of 5,000 taels of silver. It is every craftsman’s dream award!
Seeing the excited expressions of the craftsmen, Yan Ling felt emotional in his heart. Now he was sure that they were already at the forefront of the times.
Who made Mahan, the inventor of the flintlock gun in history, refuse to come back with him? Even if the price is already high, he must be loyal to the French royal family.
Then he could only send the craftsman to sleep.
There is no such thing in Europe now!
The surrounding craftsmen, after seeing the treatment Tian Xiaode received, were filled with jealousy - the Tiangong Award was already very attractive, and now they can actually name the invention after themselves. This is Let craftsmen and inventions be famous forever!
This is also Yan Ling's little trick - in life, it is all about fame and fortune. If you grasp these two things, you can make a person work for you wholeheartedly. This old guy who has lived for two hundred years has no idea about all this. But it couldn’t be clearer.
It is conceivable that these craftsmen will definitely work harder to develop their own products in the future to stimulate the development of science and technology.
After arranging the flintlock matter, Yan Ling and Yan Shiyi left Tiangongyuan.
Although judging from the current level of science and technology, flintlock guns can only be rubbed by hand, and the cost and time of large-scale installation are very high, but what the Yan family is most indispensable for is money. After these years of development, the craftsmen have also developed a great With a large base, just like this, you can also equip the team.
As for concepts such as machine tools, he didn't know how to make them, but he had heard of them to some extent. The general direction had been given, and the Tiangong Institute had also established a relevant research team.
Yan Ling has also given orders for other things such as steam engines, waiting for the day when the craftsmen of Tiangongyuan can give him a surprise, and the seeds planted can blossom and bear fruit.
Since he really didn't know, Yan Ling had no choice but to prepare to steal some masters - such as steel-making methods. He spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in Europe just for this.
"I heard that Toyotomi Hideyoshi has put a large number of Japanese troops into the battlefield?" The two came to a secret room. Yan Ling sat down on a chair, took a sip of tea, and asked lightly, while Yan Shiyi stood aside, It wasn't until Yan Ling waved that he finally sat down on the chair next to him, with his butt only touching the chair a little.
He has always had infinite respect for this young man who has the power of an immortal and the wisdom that spans the ages.
After hearing Yan Ling's question, he quickly replied:
"This is indeed the case. Our spies detected that a large number of Japanese troops gathered on the coast from various places and then boarded ships to go to North Korea."
"As for Yi Sun-shin, who is so praised in North Korea." At this point, Yan Shiyi curled his lips visibly:
"The Japanese attacked several times, but were all defeated, with many casualties. Now they have stopped."
"A few turtle ships are blowing so loudly, but when it comes to a real large-scale fight...heh, it's incomparable to our 'Shiyi' type battleship!"
Every time Yan Shiyi mentioned the name of this battleship, he blushed a little, but he couldn't help being proud.
This "Shiyi" type battleship is the original Galenic battleship in history.
John Hawkins was not as stubborn as Mahan. After learning about the huge benefits provided by the Luzon Governor's Mansion, he was immediately moved. After the sent attendants responded that there was no danger, he immediately came to Luzon. After learning their requirements, he started designing drawings and spent more than a year creating this battleship.
After all, John is a foreigner, and it is really inappropriate to name him after him. Fortunately, John doesn't care much about this. He is very satisfied after being promoted, so in order to commend Yan Shiyi for his achievements in unifying Nanyang and conquering the sea during his tenure, This battleship was named "Shiyi".
And this warship is indeed powerful - the highest record is that two ship groups destroyed a pirate group with thirty warships, which shows its power.
Yan Shiyi's words are not wrong. Judging from the current level of the navy, Asahi is indeed a rookie.
"Well, that's what I said, but don't underestimate the enemy." Yan Ling gave a small reminder and then changed his tone:
"So, when do you plan to start the war?"
Yan Shiyi pondered for a while and said:
"It's best to wait... I've heard about Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang for a long time in Nanyang. Although I haven't heard about Li Rusong for a long time, judging from his current military exploits, he must be a good general."
"I estimate that the Japanese army should not be a match for the Ming army... But after all, the Ming army has a small number, and it will take time to completely defeat the Japanese army. I want to grasp that the Ming army and the Japanese army are fighting fiercely, and they have already fired real fire, and the Japanese army is completely unable to When they escape, they will launch a sudden attack on the Japanese mainland, making it impossible for them to return to the army, and turning the 200,000 Japanese soldiers into lonely ghosts."
"After all, it is difficult to completely block this huge ocean... and if the other party is desperate and attacks desperately, it will cause a lot of unnecessary losses, and Ming and North Korea can completely consume them."
"Furthermore, according to the information obtained by Hidden Dragon, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the guard of the house, may not be as honest as he appears on the surface. Perhaps it can be used."
"I am going to send another batch of aid to North Korea to make the intensity of the fierce fighting among the three countries even greater."
Yan Ling nodded with a smile and patted Yan Shiyi's shoulder. There was relief in his eyes. His plan was undoubtedly in line with the current situation.
"Okay, just do what you want."
"Okay, okay, with you here, why worry about the family not being happy!"
Yan Ling sighed softly.
Today's family is full of talents. As long as he can grasp the general direction, the family will move in the right direction in an orderly manner.
How could he not be happy?
