Hearing Yan Ling's words, the craftsman was already stunned.

He listened to Yan Ling's words just now, and it was going to be mass-produced! And named after himself, this means that his name will be famous all over the world with the Luzon Army's southern and northern wars!

He, a small craftsman, actually got the opportunity to leave a name in history!

He never dreamed that he would be able to get such an honor!

However, Yan Ling's reward doesn't stop there.

"This year's Tiangong Award, I think it already has a home." Yan Ling looked at the craftsman and said with a smile.

When the craftsman heard this, his face swelled even redder, and his breathing was very rapid, as if he had just finished running a thousand meters.

That's a heavenly award! After the establishment of Jiajing in the early years, it has been the highest award of the Tiangong Academy, and once a year, the winner will not only have great prestige, but also have a reward of 5,000 taels of silver, which is the dream award of every craftsman!

Looking at the craftsman's excited expression, Yan Ling's heart was also emotional, and now he could be sure that they were already ahead of the times.

Who made Mahan, the inventor of the flintlock pistol in history, refuse to come back with him? Even if the price is already high, he has to be loyal to the French royal family.

Then he can only send this craftsman to sleep.

Now in Europe, there is no such thing!

And the surrounding craftsmen, after seeing the treatment of Tian Xiaode, were full of jealousy - the Tiangong Award was already very attractive, and now they can still use their own names to name the invention, which is to make the craftsman and the invention famous together!

This is also a little trick of Yan Ling - life in the world, that is, fame and fortune can't be let go, grasp these two, you can make a person work for you with all his heart, this old guy who has lived for two hundred years knows all this very well.

It is conceivable that these craftsmen will definitely work harder to develop their own products in order to stimulate the development of science and technology.

After arranging the flintlock pistol, Yan Ling and Yan Shiyi left the Tiangong Academy.

Although from the current level of science and technology, the flintlock pistol can only be rubbed by hand, and the cost and time of large-scale assembly are very high, but the Yan family is not short of money.

As for the concept of machine tools, he doesn't know how to make them, but he has heard of them, the general direction has been given, and the Tiangong Institute has also set up a relevant research team.

Other things such as steam engines, Yan Ling had already ordered them to go down, just waiting for the day when the craftsmen of the Tiangong Academy could surprise him, and the seeds planted could blossom and bear fruit.

It's really something he doesn't know, and Yan Ling can only prepare to steal the teacher - such as the steelmaking method, he threw hundreds of thousands of taels of silver into Europe, just for this.

"I've heard that Toyotomi Hideyoshi has thrown a large number of Japanese troops into the battlefield?" The two came to a secret room, Yan Ling sat down on the chair, took a sip of tea, and asked lightly, while Yan Shiyi stood aside, until Yan Ling waved his hand, he finally sat down on the chair on the side, and the chair with only a little butt touched.

For this young man who has the power of an immortal and the wisdom that transcends the times, he has always had infinite respect.

Hearing Yan Ling's question, he hurriedly replied:

"That's true, our spies detected that a large number of Japanese troops gathered along the coast from all over the country, and then boarded ships and headed for Korea."

"As for Yi Sunsin, who is being blown up in North Korea." Speaking of this, Yan Shiyi pouted obviously:

"Several attacks on the Japanese army, all of them were defeated, there were many casualties, and now they have stopped."

"A few turtle boats, blowing so loudly, but really fighting on a large scale...... Oh, there is no comparison with our 'Seyi' type battleships! ”

Every time Yan Shiyi mentioned the name of this battleship, he blushed a little, but he couldn't stop being proud.

This "Shiyi" type battleship is the Galen battleship in the original history.

John Hawkins was not as stubborn as Mahan, and when he learned of the great benefits offered by the Governor's Palace in Luzon, he was immediately moved, and after the attendants sent responded that there was no danger, he immediately came to Luzon, and after learning of their request, he began to design the drawings, and it took more than a year to create the battleship.

And John is a foreigner after all, it is really inappropriate to name him after him, but fortunately, John doesn't care much about these, he is already very satisfied after being promoted, so in recognition of Yan Shiyi's achievements in unifying the South Seas and conquering the sea during his tenure, this battleship was named "Shiyi".

And this warship is indeed powerful - the highest record, two ships destroyed a pirate group with thirty warships, which shows its strength.

Yan Shiyi's words are not wrong, judging from the current level of the navy, Asahi is indeed a rookie.

"Well, that's the way it is, but don't take the enemy lightly." Yan Ling reminded him slightly, and then changed his tone:

"So, when are you going to start the war?"

Yan Shiyi pondered for a while and said:

"It's better to wait...... I am in Nanyang, and I have heard the name of Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang for a long time, although Li Rusong has not heard of it for a long time, but judging from his current military exploits, he must also be a great general. ”

"I don't think the Japanese army will be the opponent of the Ming army...... But after all, the Ming army was small, and it would take time to completely defeat the Japanese army. I want to grasp the fierce battle between the Ming army and the Japanese army, and when the real fire has been fought and the Japanese army is completely unable to get out, I will attack the Japanese mainland again, so that they cannot return to the army, and let the 200,000 Japanese soldiers become lonely ghosts. ”

"After all, this huge ocean wants to be completely blocked...... It is also a little difficult, and if the other party dies and breaks the net, it will cause many unnecessary losses, and it is completely possible for the Ming and the Dynasty to consume them. ”

"Moreover, according to the information obtained by the hidden dragon, the guard of the guard, Tokugawa Ieyasu, may not be as honest as he appears on the surface, and he may be able to take advantage of it."

"I am ready to send another batch of aid to North Korea to make the fierce fighting between the three countries even greater."

Yan Ling smiled and nodded, patted Yan Shiyi's shoulder, there was relief in his eyes, his plan was undoubtedly very in line with the current situation.

"Okay, just do what you want."

"Okay, okay, with you here, why worry about the family's displeasure!"

Yan Ling sighed softly.

Today's family has a lot of talents, as long as he can grasp the general direction, then the family will move in the right direction in an orderly manner.

How could he not be happy?
