At this moment, when they saw the tens of thousands of tons of grain, the onlookers, like the old man, all regarded Yang Jing as a real god!
To be able to grow so much food in such a short period of time, what else could he be if not a god?!
The commoners knelt down around the granary and kowtowed to the pile of grain in front of them as if they were kowtowing to Yang Jing himself.
These grains allowed Yang Jing to gain the hearts of the people in the city. The people in the city wanted to immediately worship Yang Jing as the new master.
Because in this era of hunger, whoever could take out enough food to feed the people would be the highest leader in the hearts of these people!
From this moment on, Yang Jing had truly become the owner of this county.
Yang Jing, who was sitting in the county government office, did not know that the people in the city had already regarded him as a god-like figure.
Right now, all his attention was on the musket on the table.
At this moment, the system notification suddenly sounded in his mind and interrupted his thoughts.
"Ding! It has been detected that the host has successfully conquered Wuyuan County. The mission reward is now given to the host!”
"The host has received 500,000 taels of gold!”
"General Huo Qubing!"
"Advisor Wang Meng!"
" Firearm manufacturing related knowledge!"
Yang Jing suddenly received a system reward. He was pleasantly surprised and felt a little inexplicable. He had clearly taken down Wuyuan County last week. Why did the system only give him a siege reward today?
After thinking for a moment, he understood.
It was not a big deal to just get this piece of land. Only by taking back the hearts and minds of the people in the city could he truly take down this city!
He didn't expect the system's settings to be so humane. This way, it could prevent the host from becoming an inhumane killing machine that only knew how to attack cities and plunder land.
Yang Jing was very satisfied. What made him even more satisfied was the mission reward given to him by the system.
Five hundred thousand gold taels!
Yang Jing was worried about not having enough money to buy the blueprints for the flintlock and Armstrong cannon!
The system solved his urgent problem.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing, who was extremely happy, exchanged 200,000 taels of gold for the flintlock and Armstrong Cannon without hesitation.
The flintlock was the most advanced firearm that Yang Jing could mass-produce at this stage. It was first invented by the Europeans.
The flintlock was much safer than the muskets of the Divine Arms Battalion.
Although the muskets of the Divine Arms Battalion were firearms, due to the strong recoil and the poor workmanship, they could cause serious damage to the soldiers if they were not used properly.
On the contrary, it was not very lethal to the enemy. The musket could not even kill the enemy in one shot. On the battlefield, this musket that could not be fired continuously and did not have much lethality was simply a burden.
The flintlock had completely improved this fatal flaw.
Not only was flintlock safer to use, but it could also increase the firing rate and shooting accuracy. At the same time, the production cost was relatively low, making it easy to mass produce.
As for the Armstrong Cannon, it first appeared in Europe in the middle of the 19th century. It was many times more powerful than the most powerful Hong Yi Cannon!
Yang Jing had considered buying the relatively cheap blueprint of the Hongyi Cannon.
However, he considered that in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Wild Boar Skin had secretly learned the technology of the Great Ming Dynasty in western Liaoning. After a period of improvement, he had created the Mighty General Cannon, which was comparable to the Great Ming Dynasty's Hong Yi Cannon.
He used this cannon to heavily injure Da Ming, Li Zicheng, and later on, he even heavily injured Nan Ming and destroyed the Han Dynasty!
Ming's firearms were secretly learned by the enemy, and in the end, the enemy used their own firearms to destroy the country. What kind of humiliation was this!
As a result, whenever the Hong Yi Cannon was mentioned, Yang Jing would feel a strong sense of shame. At the same time, his hatred for the Manchu wild boar skin would also be ignited.
Therefore, Yang Jing did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy the blueprint of the Armstrong Cannon. He was determined to make this cannon perfect and crush the Qing soldiers in terms of firearm technology!
Speaking of the advantages of the Armstrong Cannon, it was the first rifled cannon in the world. It had the advantages that the Hongyi Cannon did not have.
For example, loading from the rear, with a perfect cannon port, it was easier and faster to load shells.
The inner wall of the cannon bore was engraved with spiral rifling, which could make the shell spin at high speed when fired, allowing the cannon to have higher accuracy and a longer range than the smooth-bore cannon.
All in all, it was a cannon that could crush the Hong Yi Cannon in terms of strength!
These two blueprint rewards made Yang Jing truly feel the system's thoughtfulness!
The second reward also surprised Yang Jing.
The famous general Huo Qubing was the heroic general he urgently needed.
Yang's military knowledge was relatively lacking.
He could casually deploy and command the soldiers to fight a meaningless crushing battle, but if tens of thousands of people were to fight on a real battlefield in the future, he would be a little powerless to command them.
He had thought of exchanging for an outstanding general to lead troops for him, but that would cost millions of taels of gold, or even more.
For example, Huo Qubing's price in the system store was two million gold taels.
This price was not something that the penniless Yang Jing could consider.
As for Advisor Wang Meng, this was the reward that surprised Yang Jing the most!
The famous Eastern Jin Dynasty's Wang Meng, who was known as the 'Sage of the Sage', was someone that Yang Jing worshipped in the modern world!
He was a very famous political strategist in history. Unfortunately, he died young at the age of 51.
He was born in the Sixteen Countries of the Five Hu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was an era where heroes fought for supremacy. He took advantage of the chaos to help Fu Jian rise to power and establish the former Qin Dynasty.
Under his rule, the small "Former Qin" looked down on the heroes and unified the north. He was a shocking genius in governing the country.
With his help, Yang Jing believed that he would definitely take down Big Ming soon!
Finally, knowledge related to firearm manufacturing was the reward that Yang Jing was most interested in.
He had his eyes on the flintlock and Armstrong Cannon, but he was worried that no one would be able to make them. If there was no craftsmanship and only blueprints, it would be meaningless.
In the entire Great Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong was probably the only person who could make flintlock guns on a one-to-one basis.
However, Sun Chengzong had died long ago. Yang Jing couldn't kill all the people in the underworld to drag him out.
It was better to rely on oneself than to rely on others. Fortunately, the system reward came in time. Otherwise, Yang Jing did not know how long it would take for his weaponsmiths to create a perfect firearm.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing couldn't sit still anymore. He put away the blueprints on the table and walked out of the yamen towards the weapons manufacturing factory.
He wanted to produce this batch of firearms as quickly as possible!
