At this time, Wei Zheng decided decisively: "Since you can try it, then try it. After success, report it to me immediately..."

"In addition to these two, I would like to give another opinion. Although the round shell is easy to load, the stability of the shells flying after flying out of the barrel is very poor... I think you can refer to the Minnie bullet used for fixed ammunition by the flintlock rifle, and cast the flowering shell into the shape of the Minnie bullet..."

"In this way, the stability of the shell flight will be further enhanced, and the possibility of air leakage will be less. This, to a certain extent, increases the range and shooting accuracy of the shell..."

Wang Tiezhong, who benefited a lot in front of Wei Zheng, shouted: "Please rest assured that the Governor General, the subordinates will carry out transformation as soon as possible. As soon as there are results, report to the Governor General immediately..."

Wei Zheng nodded, and a smile of satisfaction appeared from the bottom of his heart on his serious face.

Then, he made a shocking decision again: "Mr. Wang, in order for the various advanced weapons equipped by the army to continue to develop, I decided to formulate a rule in the Equipment Department..."

"From now on, all the workers and craftsmen in the workshops under the Equipment Department can provide improvements to the weapons and ammunition that are now produced... As long as the opinions are reasonable, the Governor's Office will give different rewards of 10,000 taels of silver based on the size of the opinions..."

"Not only that, if someone can study a group of more advanced equipment, or make major improvements to existing weapons and equipment to enhance their power, the Governor's Office will directly appoint him as the head of the seventh rank of the Equipment Department, with an official position. The official will be promoted to two levels..."

The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were not only powerful, but also very powerful. Because every craftsman here has been passed down from his family for hundreds of years. The reason why this group of people has such exquisite craftsmanship but produces very bad weapons is no longer because of their decaying court in front of them.

The court looked down on them, the court's deduction of their limited food and salary, and even the deduction of raw materials... all resulted in them having no energy and foundation at all to create more advanced weapons and equipment.

As the director of the Equipment Department, Wang Tiezhong is very clear about the reason.

Therefore, after listening to Wei Zheng’s promise to the entire equipment department, Wang Tie Center’s first idea was that the spring of tens of thousands of craftsmen under his command was coming.

With these reward and punishment measures, Wang Tiezhong was sure that the craftsmen under his command would spend their entire lives studying new weapons for money and the official position that could shine brightly on their ancestors.

Although I had known for a long time that Wei Zheng attached great importance to craftsmen, and even took the risk of criticism from the court to arbitrarily improve the status of craftsmen in the Tiger and Leopard Army. However, Wang Tiezhong still knelt down on the ground again with a sigh on his face.

At this moment, not only Wang Tiezhong, but also dozens of other craftsmen around him, also knelt on the ground with excitement and expectation on his face.

Regardless of Wei Zheng's obstruction, he shouted gratefully: "Governor Xie..."

"Governor General, the senior officials represent the Equipment Department to guarantee that they will never let down the Governor General's love for us craftsmen, and will not let down the Governor General's cultivation for us..."

After the excited expressions on everyone's faces slowly subsided, Wei Zheng said again: "This matter is decided... As long as everyone works hard, no matter what kind of background, whether it is a waste of money, or the official position of everyone who can glorify their ancestors, I can give it to everyone..."

After saying that, Wei Zheng unexpectedly turned his gaze to the artilleryman who seemed to have been forgotten by everyone and said, "Brother of artillerymen, what's your name..."

I had just confronted Wei Zheng, and although Wei Zheng didn't say anything. However, as a small sergeant commander, although the artillery soldier had nothing on his face, his heart was full of worry, fearing that Wei Zheng would focus on him again.

So, when he heard Wei Zheng's words again, he knelt in front of Wei Zheng without thinking and said with a panic look on his face: "Please spare your life, the Governor General, please spare your life, Wang An, the artillery commander assigned to the Equipment Department. He just confronted the Governor General, it was an unintentional act of the Governor General, please spare your life..."

Seeing that the other party still remembered this, Wei Zheng waved his hand and said, "I have already said that it is not your fault for this..."

Then, he changed his tone and asked with a pointing look on his face: "However, I don't know if you still remember what I just said to you... You are not a good soldier, but you are a good gunner..."

"When you were in the army, the generals in the army should have said this to you. As a soldier, the most iron rule that you need to master is to obey orders and obey orders unconditionally... However, you just contradicted me and obviously did not do this, so I said, you are not a good soldier..."

"The reason you are a good gunner is that you can use your experience to come up with new ideas at any time, and even contradict yourself to Shangguan..."

Although the worry expression on Wang An's face disappeared, it was replaced by a hint of sadness.

Wei Zheng changed his words again and continued, "But, I just like your personality..."

"In my Tiger and Leopard Army, there are many qualified soldiers who unconditionally obey orders, but there are very few people like you who are good at discovering problems, bringing ideas, and even contradicting your Shangguan..."

"So, I decided to transfer you out of the army and to the Governor's Office to serve as a seventh-rank artillery senator, specializing in the equipment issues and combat methods of artillery. If you have any ideas, please come directly to me... How about it, you are still satisfied with my arrangement..."

In a blink of an eye, he jumped from an incomparable sergeant to a seventh-rank official, and he was also a seventh-rank official who stayed in the Governor's Office every day. For Wang An, this can definitely be called one on the earth and one on the sky...

With Wei Zheng's smile on his face, Wang An, who had a shocked expression on his face, quickly knelt in front of Wei Zheng under his smile, and shouted loudly under dozens of envious eyes around him.

"Governor Xie cultivates, the subordinates will definitely live up to the Governor's high expectations and be a good artillery senator..."

In less than two days, he not only got the mortar that he never dared to think about before, but also found a talented artillery senator in the Equipment Department... Faced with these two gains, Wei Zheng had only one sentence in his mind, that is, "This trip is worth it."
