But now his subordinates are very active, so he must go and take a look. Zhu Youxiao is very clear about this in his heart, and this is encouragement to his subordinates.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Maokang and said directly, "I will go with you."
After hearing this, Bi Maokang suddenly became excited and said quickly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"You go out and wait first, I'll get ready." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
"Yes." Bi Maokang agreed and turned to walk outside.
Bi Maokang left, and Zhu Youxiao was indeed going to the Academy of Craftsmen, but some things still needed to be arranged.
Zhu Youxiao then turned to look at Chen Hong and said directly, "Tell them to get ready and go to the Hundred Craftsmen's Academy. Also, prepare the necessary rewards, understand?"
Zhu Youxiao was very clear in his mind about his inspection. He had to do it well and must bring rewards and things with him. He could not go empty-handed, otherwise it would cause dissatisfaction among his subordinates.
Although he was the emperor, he could not fail to reward the meritorious service. Even in later times, when the leaders went to inspect the local areas, they would bring many preferential policies.
If you can't solve the problem and bring no benefits, what are you doing here? Looking for trouble?
No one welcomes such a leader.
Although Zhu Youxiao was the emperor, he had to follow this law.
This kind of thing was not the first time Chen Hong had done it, so she knew what she was doing. After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Chen Hong agreed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely get it done."
Since the emperor is going to leave the palace, the preparation time will naturally not be short.
As for security, there was no need for special preparations. Zhu Youxiao always had a team of guards. Besides, since this was in the capital, there was no need to make a big fuss.
By the time Zhu Youxiao changed his clothes and got ready, Qi Yuangong was already waiting outside.
Next to Qi Yuangong were Zhu Youxiao's guards. These people's equipment was different from that of ordinary guards. It was not as bright and fancy, but looked a little bloated.
That's because these people are fully equipped. Although there are only 300 of them, they are enough to fight a small war, and their firepower is sufficient.
The group left the palace and headed straight for the Baigongyuan.
The people in the Baigong Academy had naturally received the news long ago and were waiting at the door.
When they arrived at the Hundred Craftsmen's Academy, Zhu Youxiao looked at the people kneeling on the ground and said directly, "Please excuse the formalities."
After everyone stood up, Zhu Youxiao said, "I am very pleased that you have all worked hard at the Hundred Craftsmen's Academy and have accomplished its mission so well. I heard that you have some great things, so I came to see them."
"I have brought some wine and meat, you can enjoy yourselves. After I have looked at the food, I will reward you according to your merits."
Zhu Youxiao distributed the wine and meat he brought to the Hundred Craftsmen's Academy. You know, although they usually ate well, they were forbidden to drink alcohol.
Now that the emperor had arrived, the ban was naturally lifted. Furthermore, the meat the emperor brought was good, enough for the craftsmen to eat and drink.
"Long live His Majesty!"
"Long live!"
Shouts of "Long live" were heard all around.
After these people left, Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Maokang and said, "Take me to have a look. Since you invited me so sincerely, I think you have already made arrangements."
"Your Majesty, there is no one more wise than you." Bi Maokang said quickly.
Guards have been set up in various places in the Baigong Academy.
Bi Maokang led Zhu Youxiao inside. After passing through a corridor, Bi Maokang pointed to the courtyard in front and said, "Your Majesty, this is the Firearms Research Institute. The manufactured flintlock rifles are kept here."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said, "Then let's go in and take a look."
Zhu Youxiao was very interested in the flintlock rifle and liked it very much. After all, it was the most advanced firearm of the era.
Although revolver muskets existed, their failure rate was too high and their effectiveness was poor. Most importantly, they were expensive and could not be deployed on a large scale.
Under the guidance of Bi Maokang, Zhu Youxiao stepped into the Musketeer Academy and soon saw a group of people inside.
However, the only ones who could greet him here were the leaders of the Academy of Musketeers. They were waiting on the side, ready to be questioned by the emperor at any time.
Soon, someone brought out a box with an open lid, which contained the finished flintlock rifles.
Zhu Youxiao didn't wait for Chen Hong to move, but directly reached out and picked up a flintlock rifle.
The cold touch made Zhu Youxiao very satisfied.
After quickly looking through it, a smile appeared on Zhu Youxiao's face.
The flintlock rifle in front of him finally made Zhu Youxiao feel somewhat familiar. The only difference from the original flintlock rifle was that the clip under the front stock had not been designed yet. That was where the bayonet was hung.
After checking the trigger and looking at the muzzle, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction.
Turning to look at Bi Maokang, Zhu Youxiao said, "Take it to the shooting range later to test its power."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Bi Maokang quickly agreed with a smile.
His Majesty is satisfied with the research results, which is the greatest compliment to him. Bi Maokang's heart is filled with a sense of accomplishment.
"Is there anything else at the Musketeer Academy?" Zhu Youxiao asked Bi Maokang.
"Your Majesty, we have also developed a burst-firing pistol." Bi Maokang looked at Zhu Youxiao and said with some embarrassment, "But the research has just begun, and there are still many problems that have not been solved."
"Really? Bring it over and have a look." Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Maokang and asked with great interest, "Do you have any samples?"
