I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 276 New Superintendent
A small storm just passed away.

Li Tian first got an iron smelting workshop today, and then discovered how to make glass, which can be described as extra joy.

I almost forgot the purpose of coming to Tiangongyuan today.

After chatting with Zhou Zhen for half an hour, he just remembered that he hadn't done his business yet.

Take out the blueprint of the water forging hammer from Wang Fu.

Said to Zhou Zhen,
"This thing is of great use to me, you spend a month to perfect this thing!"

Although Zhou Zhen was also knowledgeable and talented, but he was not deep in the environment like the iron smelting workshop, so he didn't see what this thing was for for a while.

Li Tian didn't bother to explain to him, so he asked Wang Fu to explain to Zhou Zhen instead.

Wang Fu had just received a blow, and he was still a little sluggish at this moment.

Pointing at something on the drawing, making gestures and scribbling,
"Turn this way, you can drive this thing, and then this thing, you can drive it, a big hammer..."

What he said was simple, and he didn't specify what this thing was for.

Zhou Zhen still looked confused, and said with a bitter face,
"Director Wang, you should say a few more words, Zhou really didn't understand!"

Wang Fu had no choice but to say,
"Your Majesty's paintings are so clear, thanks to the fact that you are still a principal, you can't even understand this?"

"This is the wheel, this is the transmission rod, this is the hammer, the hammer for blacksmithing..."

As soon as blacksmithing was mentioned, Zhou Zhen understood everything in an instant.

After carefully looking at this thing again, he was immediately shocked.

Can't help but cry out loudly,
"This... this thing is simply a divine weapon. Could it be His Majesty's masterpiece again!"

Wang Fu drooped his face and said disdainfully,

"Otherwise, in the whole world, apart from His Majesty, who else can have such shocking wisdom."

Zhou Zhen is different from Wang Fu. Wang Fu just knows that this thing is very powerful, but he doesn't know exactly where it is so powerful, and what it has to promote the whole Ming Dynasty.

But Zhou Zhen is different. He has worked in the Ministry of Industry for many years and has a very deep understanding of various agricultural and military machinery.

Forging iron has been an extremely laborious work since ancient times.

However, the hydraulically driven forging hammer designed by Li Tian can be said to have opened a window to the sky for the entire iron smelting industry.

The iron smelting industry has not had any major breakthroughs for thousands of years.

Lack of talent is one of the main reasons.

Because blacksmiths belong to the cheap industry no matter what dynasty or generation, and people with a little bit of ability will not be engaged in this industry for a lifetime.

People with a little bit of knowledge all went to the imperial examination to become officials.

Only one person who is really willing to study and has the ability to study the efficiency of personal iron smelting may appear in hundreds or thousands of years.

The birth of the forging hammer meant that even frail scholars could participate in the business of smelting iron.

With the addition of these people, whether it is the innovation of weapons or the promotion of the entire industry, it will be a huge improvement.

Zhou Zhen couldn't imagine how much Li Tian had in his head, which was enough to change the thinking of the entire era.

But he knew that once the forging hammer came out, the entire iron smelting industry in Ming Dynasty would surely usher in a new era of huge and vigorous development.

Li Tian has heard enough compliments.

Zhou Zhen also knew that Li Tian did not lack his own admiration.

After being amazed, he began to improve Li Tian's drawings based on Daming's current craftsmanship.

Li Tian was idle and bored. After walking around the Tiangong Institute, he came back and found that Zhou Zhen was studying the improvement method of hydraulic forging hammer with a large group of people.

He didn't intend to disturb them at first.

But inadvertently discovered that Liu Baohe was also there.

It suddenly occurred to him that after Liu Baohe left the palace, he was arranged to work in the Tiangong Academy by himself, but he hadn't been given a formal position yet.

Someone called Zhou Zhen and Liu Baohe to the study room.

Just as Liu Baohe was about to kneel down to salute, Li Tian hurriedly interrupted him.

"Tiangongyuan is no more red tape than other places."

"Liu Shaojian, how is your stay at Tiangong Academy recently?"

Liu Baohe failed to kneel down, but still bowed his hands and saluted,
"Zhou Yuanzheng, takes good care of the servant, and the servant is very good here."

Li Tian smiled and said,
"I was negligent during this time, and I haven't officially accepted your fate yet!"

Liu Baohe just wanted to say, it doesn't matter.

Li Tian said directly,
"Today, I appointed Liu Baohe as the supervisor of Tiangong Academy, mainly to help Zhou Yuanzheng coordinate and manage various affairs of Tiangong Academy!"

When Liu Baohe heard this, he quickly bowed down,
"Slave Liu Baohe accepts the order!"

"Come on, I appointed you as the supervisor. In addition to these superficial duties, I actually have another important task, that is, you will take the lead, and use the method I entrusted to you to study how to improve the matchlock gun, and how to use it on a large scale. production problems.

Whether it is materials or who is needed, it is up to you to choose by yourself. "

"It's His Majesty, the slave accepts the order!"

Hearing that he is still a slave, Li Tian smiled and said,
"You are now a member of the Tiangong Academy, and you are no longer the inner eunuch of the palace. From now on, you will no longer be called a slave."

When Liu Baohe heard this, his eyes immediately turned red.

Others may not know that these people who are eunuchs are not clear about their mentality. No matter what achievements they have made, the identity of eunuchs will eventually accompany them.

And Li Tian's simple sentence seemed to make him change his mouth, but in fact he really regarded him as an ordinary person.

For an eunuch, this kind of recognition is more precious than 2 taels of gold.

"Slave... I understand, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness..."

He didn't say anything, but in fact, there was a huge wave in his heart. Li Tian was so sympathetic to him as an eunuch, how could he not be moved.

"Come on, you have to put your heart into handling the matter of the matchlock gun. If you encounter any problems, you can report to Zhou Yuanzheng. If Zhou Yuanzheng can't solve it, you can directly report to me."

Zhou Zhen and Liu Baohe said at the same time,
"The minister obeys the order!"

After dealing with these matters, Li Tian finally felt a little tired.

Turning around, he walked towards the palace with Wang Fu and others.

In less than seven or eight days, the bank opened, the match and soap workshops started one after another, the iron smelting workshop started, and the glass and muskets also started to work one after another.

Everything needs to be checked by him, and everything needs to be given great guidance and attention from him.

Although the next month or even months, he may be very tired.

But compared to reviewing those boring and boring memorials, he can see that there are constantly new things born in the land of Ming Dynasty. Even if he is a little tired, he still enjoys it.

"Soon, soon, the Daming of my dreams is coming."
