Chapter 626: Northwest Blind Zone
Da Vinci asked very carefully, and there was no lack of temptation, but strictly speaking, it was also a very crucial question, because men without families will always have a feeling of wandering.
People are emotional animals, even if they want to let their families work for themselves, how can they not think about others at all?
So after Da Vinci finished speaking, Ye Xun smiled and said: "This is not a problem, and you can also write to tell your family that all the expenses along the way will be borne by the Ming court, not only that, but the duke will also order the official government to distribute the house and arable land to you, and those who have made outstanding contributions can also enter the court as an official, and heaven and earth are the proof, and the duke will never deceive you."
After listening to Ye Xun's words, the foreigners couldn't help but look at each other, in fact, what they wanted most was to go home, after all, they were not familiar with the place here, and no matter how good the treatment was, they had no sense of belonging, but they only understood after listening to the words of this Ye Gonggong that they were afraid that they would never want to go back.
Of course, it's not that there are no people who are willing to stay, at this time, most of the people in European countries are mixed like called Huazi, far less rich than the Ming Dynasty, especially those like them who risk their lives to go to sea to beg for a living, but they are living at the bottom of various countries, so if they can change a way of living in the Ming Dynasty, it is not a better choice for them, but after all, people who have this kind of thinking are a minority.
As soon as Ye Xun's words fell, another short and fat foreign devil said angrily: "Isn't Lord Ye going to let us go back?" ”
Ye Xun smiled again and said, "My father knows that everyone is very concerned about this issue, so today my father will relieve your confusion once and again."
Ye Xun said this and stretched out a slap in the face, and continued: "Five years, after five years of work, you will be restored to your free body, if you are willing to stay, the government will also give you naturalization, divide the house and land, and if you are not willing to stay, you will be given the money to go home."
"But then again, think about it yourself, is your hometown really better than Daming? As long as you pay hard, you will get the corresponding reward, it is better than you going back to those nobles as cattle and horses, right? ”
After Ye Xun's words were finished, the foreign devils were also silent, although there is a lot of adventurous spirit in the blood of the foreign devils, but as Ye Xun thought, who can be a sailor or a pirate, who is not forced by life? Who doesn't want a hot kang head for their wife and children?
Ye Xun was not in a hurry to ask them to answer, but he would definitely fulfill his promise and deliver these people's trust ocean-going cargo ships to their relatives.
With the arrival of European merchant ships, the transmission of information beyond the oceans became possible.
Later, under the guidance of Da Vinci, Ye Xun watched the fire oil he purified.
Not to mention, it is really much clearer, and it is also more flammable, although there are still flaws, but in terms of the current level of technology, it is already good.
Ye Xun immediately took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and handed them to Da Vinci, and ordered the prefect of Hanzhong to arrange a house for Da Vinci in the city.
Although Ye Xun's move is an invitation to buy people's hearts, it also expresses his importance to scientific and technological talents.
One thousand taels of silver is nothing to Ye Xun, but for a prisoner of war like Da Vinci, it is definitely a huge amount of money.
Sure enough, Ye Xun's move of buying a horse with a thousand dollars immediately mobilized the enthusiasm of the foreign devils, and the enthusiasm for work was also unprecedentedly high.
Ye Xun then called the foreign devil who said that he could make crystals from stones.
Who knew that when this guy saw Ye Xun let him show his unique skills, he was directly paralyzed, it turned out that he had only seen the glass made by others in his hometown, he didn't know it at all, and he thought that Mingren was easy to deceive, so he used this as a gimmick to run here to eat and drink.
Ye Xun and Zhang Danian glanced at each other, and the same thought flashed in their hearts, as expected, there are really people who are not afraid of death.
There is nothing to say about dealing with such a person, Zhang Danian immediately called the guards, and then cut off the head of this guy in front of all the foreign devils, and only after killing him did he read his crime.
Looking at the companions who separated the corpses, many foreign devils were so frightened that they screamed, and at a glance, they knew that these people were also indiscriminate.
According to Ye Xun's instructions, Zhang Danian did not kill them, but just told them that those who took the initiative to admit their mistakes were not to blame in the past, and they could still stay and work, but if they continued to conceal it, this person would be an example.
As soon as I heard the interpreter translate Zhang Danian's words, many foreign devils took the initiative to stand up, although the treatment of ordinary prisoners of war cannot be compared with that of technicians, but they can save their heads after all.
How to deal with the prisoners of war, Ye Xun will not follow him, he called Da Vinci and a few foreign devils who are really skilled.
The performance of slapping a sweet date is over, and it's time to talk to them about the technical aspects.
"You may not know, the guy who just got his head cut off said something, my father has seen it a long time ago, that thing is called glass, and it is indeed refined from stone and other things, now I give you a promise, if anyone can make glass, a reward of five thousand taels of silver"
"There is another kind of thing that is also made of stone, this thing is called cement, the general process is to grind the stone into powder, and then with clay, after firing, the finished product is powder, and water can be used to build houses and pave roads, strong and durable, much stronger than ordinary sand and gravel, the same way, who can develop this thing, the reward is also five thousand taels"
As soon as Ye Xun's words fell, a foreign devil named Daimler interjected: "The glass mentioned by the adults should be made by Italians, as far as I know, these people are imprisoned on an isolated island and cannot leave for life, and the person who was killed for deceiving the adults before is an Italian."
Ye Xun really didn't know that there was this episode, as far as the current level of science and technology is concerned, the greatest value of glass is still in business, when can it be mass-produced, in order to enter thousands of households.
"In fact, there is no real exclusive secret in this world, just to see if you have the intention to find out, since my father invited you here, I believe that you have this ability, once you succeed, you will find that the so-called nobles in your country are by no means comparable to your current life"
Let these foreign devils tinker with it first, and let the Han apprentices go to it almost at about the same time, and if they don't squeeze them dry, they will never be let go.
Ye Xun is here to popularize scientific knowledge for them today, after explaining these, he told them some principles of steam, not that they want to make cars and trains, but the power brought by steam, there are too many places to use, first tell them the principle, and the rest is something they slowly explore.
The day passed quickly, and by the time he left the arsenal, it was already completely dark, and as soon as he returned to his temporary quarters, a guard came to report that Bashik had asked to see him.
Hearing that it was Bashik who wanted to see him, Ye Xun couldn't help laughing, he knew that this old brother should have made a decision...
