This is very important and can reassure people. Of course, confidentiality must also be maintained, but I won't mention this here.
After scanning the crowd, Zhu Youxiao continued, "You have made great contributions to research and development this time. Each of you will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver, and everyone's salary will be doubled from now on. Do a good job!"
"As for your official positions, I will reward you based on your merits after I have reviewed the things."
After hearing this, everyone became more excited and the smiles on their faces became brighter.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Now take me to see the results of your research."
Everyone agreed excitedly and surrounded Zhu Youxiao like stars surrounding the moon and went inside.
At this moment they were sincere. They wanted to be with Zhu Youxiao, wanted to hear Zhu Youxiao's praise of them, and wanted to hear Zhu Youxiao's recognition of them.
The news spread quickly, and throughout the Academy of Craftsmen, shouts of "Long live the emperor" were heard everywhere.
A group of people walked into the exhibition hall.
Everything here has been prepared long ago, and many things have been placed on an open space.
Bi Maokang smiled as he stayed by Zhu Youxiao's side. He was feeling happy both physically and mentally. Although he was still a little tired, he was mentally excited.
He took Zhu Youxiao to a row of flintlock rifles and said, "Your Majesty, this is the prototype of the first generation of flintlock rifles. It is still very crude and the rifling problem has not been solved yet."
"Also, the special bullets Your Majesty mentioned have not yet been successfully developed."
The special bullet Zhu Youxiao mentioned was, of course, the Minié bullet. However, it naturally didn't need to be called that in this life, because Zhu Youxiao hadn't thought of a new name yet.
"Although we have a finalized flintlock rifle, I don't think it should be mass-produced," Bi Maokang said. "I think there's still room for further research."
"Once the rifling and special bullets are finalized, perhaps that will be the best time for mass production."
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Bi Maokang and of course knew what he meant.
The rifled flintlock rifle is basically the pinnacle of muzzle-loading rifles.
The next peak was the breech-loading rifle that fired metal eggshells. The primary version was the Dresser rifle, model m1841.
What would happen if you had that rifle?
Zhu Youxiao didn't even dare to think about it, but it would definitely be a beautiful scene.
