Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the firearms masters could not help but sigh.
"Your Majesty, these guns and cannons are simply exquisite. I just don't know who made them.”
"We are all willing to be his disciples and learn how to forge these guns from him.”
After hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of pride. These things were all made by his grandson.
As expected of the descendant of my Zhu family.
However, he could not say these words out loud.
Zhu Yuanzhang said,
"You don't have to care who made it. We're just asking if you can make it!”
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, these craftsmen patted their chests and said,"
"Your Majesty, if you only have the blueprint or ask us to think of it out of thin air, perhaps we won't be able to create it.”
"But now that we have ready-made ones, we can definitely make them.”
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's faces lit up with excitement when they heard what the firearms masters said.
Although the structure of these Fran cannons was very simple, even an outsider like him could see it.
However, after all, there was a difference between different professions.
This kind of thing had to be left to professionals. This was why Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the firearms masters in the Baoyuan Bureau at the first moment.
But then, Zhu Yuanzhang heard the firearms masters from the Treasure Source Bureau say,
"However, we need to bring these two things back to the Treasure Source Bureau. After testing them, we can study them in detail before we can finally come to a conclusion.”
At this point, the firearms master from the Treasure Source Bureau hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying,
"Moreover, it's very likely that we need to saw these two things open to see the structure inside. Only then will it be easier to imitate them.”
Hearing the words of these firearms masters, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately revealed a trace of reluctance. This was something that his grandson had given him.
Such a good thing was actually going to be sawed open. It was really a little wasteful.
Zhu Di, who was standing at the side, looked even more distressed. This was his favorite flintlock, and these firearms masters actually said that they wanted to saw it open.
However, although he was distressed, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di could become the founding emperor and the second most powerful emperor of Ming Dynasty.
Naturally, he wasn't an ordinary person. He knew that just relying on this cannon and a spear wouldn't be of any use.
Only by replicating these Fran cannons and flintlocks in large numbers and forming a certain scale could they suppress the enemy.
Otherwise, these two things would only be left here as toys and would not be of any use.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had figured this out, was reluctant to part with the cannon, but he still said to the craftsmen,
"In that case, take this cannon and flintlock for research. You must replicate these two things for us.”
Zhu Di stood there without saying a word, afraid that he would leave the flintlock behind if he opened his mouth.
After the firearms masters received Zhu Yuanzhang's order, they immediately began to transport these things back to the Treasure Source Bureau.
Before he left, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered,"
"Go back and tell your manager that from now on, the entire Treasure Source Bureau should not do anything but focus on manufacturing flintlocks and Fran cannons. Moreover, they should be mass-produced, the more the better!”
The firearms masters obeyed the order and returned to the Treasure Origin Bureau with these things.
When they returned to the Treasure Origin Bureau, the curious manager immediately walked up and asked Zhu Yuanzhang why he had specially summoned these people.
"Why has His Majesty summoned you?”
The firearms master heard the words of the manager and quickly told the manager of the Treasure Source Bureau what he had seen and heard in the Imperial Palace, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang's orders.
After hearing the firearm master's words, the manager of the Treasure Source Bureau could not help but turn pale with fright. A person who could become the manager of the Treasure Source Bureau was definitely not an ordinary person.
Naturally, he could tell that these cannons were all expensive. Although he was the manager of the Treasure Origin Bureau, and the Treasure Origin Bureau was also the place where the world coined coins, he was still a person of great importance.
However, just because he could make coins did not mean that he was rich!
This cannon was not a joke. To put it bluntly, Da Ming's finances might not be able to support it.
At the thought of this, the Treasure Source Bureau felt that it was necessary to remind the emperor that it was not good to be overly ambitious.
Thus, the manager of the Treasure Source Bureau instructed,"
"You guys move these things in first. I'm going to attack the saint now. When I come back, I'll make a decision.”
Hearing the manager's words, although everyone looked at each other, they could only nod in agreement.
The manager of the Treasure Source Bureau did not dare to delay. He immediately changed into his court clothes and rushed into the palace.
"Your Majesty, the manager of the Treasure Source Bureau is requesting an audience outside the hall!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were discussing what to do next, a guard walked in and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Hearing the guard's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. Could it be that those firearms masters didn't make themselves clear?
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the guard,
"Let him in."
The manager of the Treasure Source Bureau, who had received the edict, walked in and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang. He said,
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked,"
"Is there something you want to talk to me about, dear minister?”
Zhu Di also looked at the manager of the Treasure Source Bureau in surprise.
The manager of the Treasure Source Bureau said,
"I have already seen the things that His Majesty asked the firearms masters to send back. They are indeed good weapons of the country. It is just that the cost of forging these things is huge.”
"This subject is worried that the finances of the Imperial Court cannot afford it.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's brows relaxed when he heard the manager of the Treasure Source Bureau. He thought it was something important, but he didn't expect it to be because of this. It seemed that he was also a good official who considered the country.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,
"You guys just focus on making them. You don't have to worry about money. I'll give you as much as you want. I only have one request, and that is to make these things as soon as possible.”
"After you build these things, our Big Ming won't be short of money.”
The manager of the Treasure Source Bureau was stunned, but he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind to make these cannons.
Zhu Yuanzhang's character was a man of his word. If he continued to persuade him, it would probably backfire and he would also get himself burned.
Thinking of this, the manager of the Treasure Source Bureau bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said,
"In that case, this subject will begin to manufacture these things according to Your Majesty's instructions.”
"This humble subject will take his leave!"
With that, he left the hall and returned to the Treasure Source Bureau.
After Zhu Di heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he couldn't help but feel excited. He had already begun to fantasize about the production of these Franc cannons on a large scale.
The scene of him leading his soldiers to attack the Japanese with these Franc cannons!
