Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 626 Popularizing Technology
Da Vinci asked very cautiously, and there was some sense of probing in it, but strictly speaking, this is also a very critical question, because a man without a family will always have a feeling of wandering.

Humans are emotional animals, even if they want others to work for them, 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 expenses along the way will be borne by the Ming court. Not only that, I will order the government to distribute it to you Houses and cultivated land, those who have made outstanding contributions can also enter the court as officials, as evidenced by heaven and earth, I will never deceive you."

After hearing Ye Xun's words, the foreigners couldn't help but look at each other. In fact, what they want most is to go home. After all, they are not familiar with the place here, and no matter how good the treatment is, they have no sense of belonging. Don't even think about going back.

Of course, it’s not that there are those who are willing to stay. At this time, most of the people in European countries are like beggars, far less prosperous than Ming Dynasty, especially those who risk their lives to go to sea to beg for a living. The lowest level of each country, so if they can change their way of life in Daming, it might be a better choice for them, but after all, there are only a small number of people who have this idea.

As soon as Ye Xun's words fell, another short and fat foreign devil said in a low voice: "Master Ye, isn't he going to let us go back?"

Ye Xun laughed again, and said: "I know that everyone is very concerned about this issue, so today I will solve your confusion once and for all."

Ye Xun stretched out a slap when he said this, and continued: "Five years, after five years of work, you will regain your freedom. If you are willing to stay, the government will also naturalize you and divide the house and land. If you don't want to stay Yes, to pay for the trip home"

"But having said that, think about it for yourself. Is your hometown really better than Daming? As long as you work hard, you will get the corresponding rewards. It's better than going back and serving as cattle and horses for those nobles, right?"

After Ye Xun finished speaking, the foreign devils also fell silent. Although the foreign devils have a lot of adventurous spirit in their blood, as Ye Xun thought, who can be a sailor or a pirate, who is not forced by life?Who doesn't want their wives and children to be hot on the kang?
Ye Xun is not in a hurry to ask them to answer, but he will definitely fulfill his promise and send these people's trusted ocean-going cargo ships to the hands of their relatives.

With the arrival of European merchant ships, the transmission of information beyond the ocean became possible.

Then Ye Xun, under Da Vinci's guidance, watched the kerosene he purified.

Not to mention, it is indeed much clearer and more flammable. Although there are still flaws, it is already considered good in terms of the current level of craftsmanship.

Ye Xun immediately took out 1000 taels of silver bills 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 emphasis on scientific and technological talents.

1000 taels of silver is nothing to Ye Xun, but to a prisoner of war like Da Vinci, it is definitely a huge sum of money.

Sure enough, Ye Xun's act of buying a horse with a thousand dollars immediately mobilized the enthusiasm of the foreign devils, and their enthusiasm for work was unprecedentedly high.

Ye Xun then called over the foreign devil who said he could make crystals out of stones.

Unexpectedly, when this guy saw Ye Xun asking him to show his unique skills, he was paralyzed with fright. It turned out that he had only seen glass made by others in his hometown, and he didn't know it at all. He thought Ming people were easy to deceive, so he ran away with this Come here to eat and drink.

Ye Xun and Zhang Danian looked at each other, and the same thought flashed through their minds, and as expected, they really are not afraid of death.

There is nothing to say about such a person. Zhang Danian immediately called the guards, and then beheaded this guy in front of all the foreign devils. After killing him, he read his crimes.

Seeing the corpses of their companions, many foreign devils screamed in fright, and they knew at a glance that these people were also just pretending to be numbers.

According to Ye Xun's instructions, Zhang Danian didn't kill them, but just told them that those who admit their mistakes and let them go, can still stay and work, but if they continue to hide, this person is a role model.

As soon as the translator translated 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, they can still keep their heads.

How to deal with the prisoners of war, Ye Xun would not join in, he called Da Vinci and a few foreign devils who were indeed skilled.

The performance of slapping a sweet date is over, and it's time to talk to them about technical matters.

"You may not know that what the guy whose head was cut off just now said, I have 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, who If you can make glass, you will be rewarded with 5000 taels of silver."

"There is another thing that is also made of stone. This thing is called cement. The general process is to grind stone into powder, mix it with clay, and fire it. The finished product is in powder form, and it can be used for building after mixing with water The house and pavement are sturdy and durable, much stronger than ordinary gravel. Similarly, whoever can develop this thing will be rewarded with 5000 taels of silver."

As soon as Ye Xun finished speaking, a foreign devil named Daimler interrupted: "The glass your lord is talking about should be made by Italians. As far as I know, these people are imprisoned on an isolated island and are not allowed to leave for life. The person who was killed for deceiving the adults before was an Italian."

Ye Xun really didn't know about this episode. As far as the current level of technology is concerned, the greatest value of glass is still in business. When will it be mass-produced before it can enter thousands of households.

"Actually, there is no real exclusive secret in this world. It just depends on whether you have found out with your heart. Since I invited you here, I believe that you have this ability. Once you succeed, you will find that your country Those so-called nobles are by no means comparable to your current life."

Let these foreign devils fiddle with it first, and then let the Han apprentices come in almost all the time. If they don't squeeze them dry, they will never be let go.

Ye Xun came here today to popularize scientific knowledge to them. After explaining this, he also explained some principles of steam to them. It is not to ask them to build cars and trains, but the power brought by steam can be used in too many places. Tell them the principle first, and the rest is for them to explore slowly.

The day passed quickly, and when we left the arsenal, it was completely dark. As soon as we returned to the temporary residence, a guard came to report that Bashik begged to see him.

Hearing that Bashik wanted to see him, Ye Xun couldn't help laughing, he knew that this old man must have made a decision.
