Chapter 135 Rewards and Awards

"Okay! Very good!"

Looking at the big crater caused by the shell, Wang Chao could not help but nod and applaud.

Then, Dynasty looked at Zhou Tie again.

"Call the masters who make guns and cannons. I want to see them."

"yes!"

Zhou Tie nodded and gave instructions to Xiao Li beside him.

"Xiao Li, go and call Master Wu and Master Zhu."

After a short while, two old men in their fifties and sixties, with gray hair and gray faces, quickly followed Xiao Li.

After arriving in front of them, the two people immediately knelt down to the dynasty and shouted in unison.

"Wu Laoliu, the villain, pays homage to the leader."

"The villain Zhu Duoliang, please pay homage to the leader."

"Get up, we don't do kneeling and worshiping among our people's salvation army."

"yes!"

"This new rifle and artillery were developed and manufactured by you two."

"Yes, it was made by villains"

"Well, you guys did a great job!

In view of your performance, I decided to establish two additional departments under the Weapons Manufacturing Department. One is the Artillery Manufacturing Bureau, headed by Zhu Duoliang.

One is the Firearms Bureau, headed by Wu Laoliu

In addition, each of you will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver."

"Thank you, chief!"

"Thank you, chief!"

After hearing the dynasty's reward, the two men immediately showed uncontrollable excited smiles on their faces, and they performed a military salute in unison, a little clumsily.

After all, the leader said that the Salvation Army does not appreciate the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping.

This is five hundred taels of silver, enough for their family of more than ten people to spend a lifetime.

Five hundred taels of silver is roughly equivalent to half a million in later generations, and its purchasing power is even stronger. The reward is not too much, but it is by no means too small.

This is especially true for craftsmen in this era.

Especially those military craftsmen who know how to make guns and cannons. If you do well, that's what you should do.

There is no reward. It would be nice if the normal salary can be paid.

If you don't do it well, you might be beheaded.

When will their craftsmen receive such attention?

They just improved their muskets and artillery.

What's more, this was created based on the leader's suggestions and with the help of those who had mastered magical powers.

Unexpectedly, the leader generously rewarded them with five hundred taels of silver, which was a treatment they had never received before.

Although there were many rewards before, there were never that many.

Moreover, they also became the heads of the artillery-making bureau and the firearms bureau respectively.

They can be considered officials, right?

Unexpectedly, one day, craftsmen like them would become officials.

However, the rewards of the dynasty are not over yet.

"Well, I will give each of you another five hundred taels, and you will reward them to the craftsmen involved in the design and manufacture of guns based on your merits.

besides

Since you two are able to develop new firearms and artillery on your own, it means that your achievements in this area must have reached the pinnacle of the current era."

"Hey, it's all because of the leader's good teachings. We also based on what the leader said, so we have achieved some results."

"Haha, you are too modest. What I said is just a general idea. How to do it specifically depends mainly on your painstaking research."

The two people wanted to say something more, but Chao Chao waved his hand and stopped what they wanted to say.

"alright.

Since you two have reached the pinnacle of your skills in firearms and artillery, I will grant you the status of technician."

"Technician? Qualification of heaven and earth?"

Wu Laoliu and Wu Laoliu were a little confused, but vaguely, an idea emerged in their minds.

Could this be magical power?

This, this, this. Is this because the leader recognized their achievements, so he also wants to give them magical powers?

Involuntarily, the hearts in the chests of the two people began to beat violently. They looked at Wang Chao excitedly and nervously, and a hint of expectation appeared in their hearts.

"hehe."

And Dynasty did not disappoint.

I saw the dynasty stretching its hand upwards, and the four national fortunes suddenly fell, evolving into four heavenly statuses.

It is the natural qualifications of the directors of the Firearms Bureau and the Cannon Making Bureau, as well as the natural qualifications of the Firearms Technicians and Cannon Making Technicians.

After merging the qualities of heaven and earth, the two of them were stunned on the spot, and it took a long time before they came back to their senses.

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

In the next moment, both of them fell to their knees and kowtowed to the emperor.

"Thank you, thank you, chief!"

"Thank you, chief! Thank you, chief!"

This was an opportunity to master magical powers, and the leader actually rewarded them like this.

From now on, like other Salvation Army generals, they have mastered magical powers.

They couldn't be more excited and grateful.

"Well, get up!"

Looking at the two people who knelt down again, Wang Chao smiled but did not stop them.

Although the Life Saving Army does not perform the ritual of kneeling down, it is understandable to kneel down and express gratitude under the current circumstances.

Moreover, he can bear it!

After thanking each other again, Wu Laoliu and Zhu Duanliang stood up tremblingly, stood beside Wang Chao and rubbed their hands, they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.

Chao Chao smiled gently at the two of them, and then looked at Zhou Tie again.

"Master Zhou, steel is the foundation of everything. You and your father have developed iron-making and steel-making blast furnaces, which is a great achievement.

And if you have merit in managing the weapons manufacturing department, I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver and your father Zhou Yan with 500 taels of silver."

"Thank you, chief!"

Thank you for the surprise on Sunday.

Zhou Tie did not refuse the dynasty's reward.

He knew that the leader was always generous, and no matter who made a meritorious deed, he would be rewarded handsomely.

However, he also thought that his reward would be the same as that of Wu Laoliu and Wu Laoliu, five hundred taels of silver, or slightly more.

But unexpectedly, his reward doubled to one thousand taels of silver.

This represents the leader's recognition of him.

He secretly decided in his heart that he must work harder in the future, research better steel and materials, and make better weapons.

And that steam engine, they must research it as soon as possible.

While Zhou Tie's mind was spinning with thoughts and he was secretly making up his mind, Chao Chao continued to speak.

"In addition, I think your son seems to be very talented in this area. You should guide him in this area."

"Yes, leader!"

Zhou Tie's eyes flashed with joy. Didn't he mention his son in front of the leader earlier just to impress him in front of the leader?

Seeing that the territory of the Salvation Army is getting bigger and bigger, it is only a matter of time before it takes over the world. He plans for his son's future and can leave an impression in front of the leader, and his future development will definitely be smoother.

The most important thing is that when the Salvation Army selects officials, it doesn't matter whether you have read the Four Books and the Five Classics, but whether you have talents in a certain field.

Otherwise, he would definitely not mention it like this.

After all, his son's opinions were all about iron-making and casting.

If he were the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he probably wouldn't care about his son's cleverness at all.

"Well, it's a little early for him to become a blacksmith apprentice now.

He is now at the age where he should enter school

Let's do this. I have the status of a student who has evolved for the students in the territory, so I will give it to you in advance.

Although he is still unable to enter the spiritual space to learn magical powers.

However, the power of a student’s natural status can gradually refine his soul consciousness, develop his brain, and enhance his learning ability and efficiency.”

As he spoke, Chao Dynasty stretched out his hand, and a wisp of national destiny fell down, twisted into a card, and slowly fell into Zhou Tie's hand.

"When you go back, place it between your eyebrows, and it will naturally integrate into your consciousness."

"Thank you, chief! Thank you, chief!"

After hearing Chao Chao's words, Zhou Tie immediately thanked him excitedly.

This is a real surprise.

He originally just wanted the leader to have an impression of his son Zhou Jie.

Unexpectedly, the leader actually gave one that was suitable for his son's heavenly status.

Although according to the leader's wishes, in the future, all students who enroll should be able to obtain this heavenly status.

However, now only his son owns it. Doesn't this seize the opportunity and be a big step ahead of others?

"Well, I remember that your second brother Zhou Wen's family seems to have a child as well."

After handing Zhou Tie his status as a student, Wang Chao suddenly spoke again as if he had thought of something.

"Yes! My second brother has a daughter."

"In this case, then I will simply be a good person and do my best to the end, and I will give her a share of this student's worldly status."

The fate of the country is falling, and the status of heaven and earth is condensed.

After another inspection, Chao Chao left with satisfaction.

After Zhou Tie watched Wang Chao leave, he then looked at Wu Laoliu and Wu Laoliu with a smile.

"You have caught the eye of the leader and received a great reward. Don't let down the leader's respect in the future."

"Well! We must work harder to develop the weapons the leader mentioned."

"Yes, we will live up to the leader's expectations."

They were also very envious of the heavenly status granted to Zhou Tie's son by their leader.

It's a pity that their grandsons are already adults, but their great-grandson is still babbling.

Otherwise, they will ask for a heaven and earth qualification at any cost, even if they don't want any reward.

"Hahaha, yes, when we meet such a generous leader, he not only gives us money and food, but also gives us supernatural powers. Why don't we work hard?"

Looking at the direction in which Dynasty left, Zhou Tie smiled and sighed.

When they first went up the mountain, their family always thought about escaping.

It was only later that as the People's Salvation Army grew stronger, the leader paid more attention to them. He was the head of the Weapons Manufacturing Department. Because his father was too old, he served as the weapons manufacturing consultant of the Weapons Manufacturing Department. The second brother was a military veteran. Head of Department

In this way, their thoughts of leaving gradually faded, and finally they gave up completely.

Later, the leader gave them heavenly status and gave them the power to master supernatural powers.

In this way, they can be said to have completely returned home, focusing only on completing the tasks assigned by their leader, forging weapons, building blast furnaces, and properly managing the weapons manufacturing department.

Afterwards, Zhou Tie summoned all the craftsmen of the Weapons Manufacturing Department.

"At this time, you should all know that the People's Salvation Army and those who are officers in the People's Salvation Army all have magical powers."

When Zhou Tie said this, a swordsmith who was familiar with him couldn't help but smile enviously and said:

"How could we not know this?

Building iron and steel blast furnaces, making guns and cannons, all of which are participated by those staff officers and generals who have mastered magical powers. I wonder how much the manufacturing efficiency has been improved.

I have been thinking about it, but I don’t know if there is any magical power suitable for sword making.

It’s a pity.”

Listening to the envious words of the sword-making master, Zhou Tie couldn’t help but smile and said:

“Haha, if there is any magical power suitable for sword making, you need to find it yourself”

Hearing this, many craftsmen’s eyes lit up.

After Zhou Tie summoned them and told them about the magical power, they had already made some vague guesses.

It’s just that before they were sure, they didn’t dare to be sure.

And now, they have basically confirmed that they may also have the opportunity to master the magical power.

For a moment, everyone couldn’t help but feel excited, imagining the glory of mastering the magical power.
