Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer

"Uncle, of course there are stronger firearms."

Su Ran shrugged and said, "But there are few craftsmen used to make it.

The higher the level of firearms, the more sophisticated they are and the higher the requirements for craftsmen. "

When I saw Zhu Yuanzhang, I still couldn't believe it.

Su Ran walked directly to the archives office.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Su." The guard in charge looked businesslike.

"Please register and sign first."

Under the watchful eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife, Su Ran could only register the signature in a nonchalant manner.

Then take out the drawing of the fire gun.

"Do you have such strict management here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took the drawing and said with interest.

"I specifically told you that even if I want to take the drawings, I have to register them."

Su Ran said with some embarrassment and handed the drawing to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After receiving the drawings, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was full of confidence, immediately felt a little dizzy when he saw the dense patterns, symbols, materials, and specifications on them.

What are these?

"Is this the firearm blueprint?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face looked a little ugly.

"So, sir." Su Ran shrugged and handed the drawing back.

"Higher-end firearms are much more complicated than this.

Although these craftsmen can produce, they can't even understand the drawings. How can we expect them to produce? "

Su Ran shook his head and said, "Besides, those high-end firearms are very expensive.

Not to mention anything else, just researching and shaping would cost a lot of money.

Don't look at the muskets and grenades, just these little things.

Even if there is a map left by the elders of the sect,

Just the success of the experiment cost me over ten thousand dollars.

Do you know what the main ingredient is in the new gunpowder? "

"What is it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked involuntarily.

"It's just sugar!"

Su Ran rolled her eyes and said: "It's the white sugar on the market that is said to be one tael of white sugar and one tael of gold!"

With Zhu Yuanzhang's determination, he heard that white sugar was used.

I couldn’t help but gasp!

Because Zhu Yuanzhang was too frugal in his life, let alone sugar.

He has rarely tasted even brown sugar.

You use sugar, which is more precious than gold, for experiments. Are you not afraid of being struck by lightning?

When I think about it, these firearms will be filled with sugar in the future.

Lao Zhu's distressed face twitched.

Lao Zhu, who had been clamoring to support Su Rang's physics before, suddenly hesitated.

"So, sir."

Su Ran looked at Lao Zhu who had a wrong expression, shrugged and said: "Now we can only make money first.

Money is the foundation of everything. Only with money can you do things that cost money. "

"Boy."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of a question.

He reached out and grabbed his shoulders, and said suspiciously: "What kind of sect is your sect?

You told my fourth child before, is your family a Jingran economy?

Why is it still related to the Gewu lineage? "

"Uncle, calculation, arithmetic, and investigation are all cyclical."

Su Ran explained: “Jiranxue and arithmetic are operating within the existing structure.

Accurately deploy human and material resources in the current situation and make full use of them.

However, the existing layout resources are limited after all.

It's just like a basin of water. No matter how much you save, the capacity of the basin is limited.

But if you want to break this limitation, you have to rely on studying things! "

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

He seemed to feel as if a hazy window paper had been punctured.

There was light coming in.

But for a while, I couldn't figure it out.

"Nephew, please tell us carefully."

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to hold him down and said hurriedly: "Give me an example!"

"For example." Su Ran pointed to the land under his feet: "Let's take this land as an example.

Originally, slash-and-burn farming could not yield a few grains throughout the year.

But after improving innovative farm tools and improving seeds, the harvest soared!

When farmers have money, they will buy fabrics and other things, which directly stimulates commercial demand.

As commercial demand increases, industrial demand increases.

Doesn’t this break the overall limitations? "

After hearing this sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang showed no expression on the surface.

But there was already a storm in my heart.

If we continue to develop according to Su Ran's approach.

Ming Dynasty could also break the existing political structure.

It probably won't take long.

An unprecedented empire will rise!

The uncertain territory will far exceed the Mongolian and Yuan Empire established by Genghis Khan in the past!

And the empire established under such circumstances will surely be more stable and powerful than Genghis Khan's short-lived empire!

"...How much did you spend on this research? Please tell me later."

Zhu Yuanzhang still looked a little unhappy when he thought of the sugar in the grenade.

This is white sugar that is said to be worth every inch!

"But those white sugars..."

"Don't worry, uncle. I'll open a farm to grow sugar beets."

Su Ran said: “A workshop for refining white sugar is also being established.

The price of sugar produced by then will be very cheap, almost the same as table salt, so save it all. "

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief.

He was still able to accept using salt to make gunpowder.

If he really wanted to use sugar to make gunpowder, he would really jump at it.

From this point of view, high-tech gadgets are really expensive.

"By the way, uncle, I have something else to do."

Su Ran said: "You have time to talk to Master Hong Wu.

Take away the low status of these craftsmen, and they all produce such good things.

Isn't it a bit too much to not even give him a title? "

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said, "Then what do you want?"

"These craftsmen must be devalued no matter what."

Su Ran said: "Some highly skilled craftsmen even have to raise their status!"

"For example?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and he seemed to understand what he meant.
