Zhang Feng immediately reacted.
Zhang Feng had been so focused on talking about how awesome this thing was that he had forgotten that these people had always advocated for peace. However, he did not care anymore.
Once this matter was dealt with, the matter on the other side would naturally be easier to deal with.
After all, he had already made it very clear.
If there was no peace at the border, who would be able to peacefully read the sage books in this bright academy?
However, when he saw Li Shimin put away the bayonet, he pretended not to see it. Then, he looked at Arkinnon and the others and said, "You all saw this thing, right?"
"This is the thing that I spent a lot of time researching. However, don't worry, this thing is only at the most basic level. As long as you want to use your own hands to turn the thing in my mind into reality, I, Zhang Feng, am willing to teach you. Furthermore, I will allow your names to appear on this weapon!"
Arkinnon and the others could not help but tremble when they heard this.
"Really?"
Zhang Feng nodded with certainty. "I'm sure!"
Arkinnon and the others were so moved that they knelt on the ground.
"Dean, for your great kindness, we can only …"
"What are you doing? Have you all forgotten what I said before? "
Zhang Feng's expression became serious. He said somewhat angrily, "I said before that a man should have a man's pride. If you don't have a man's pride and kneel when you see someone, then the things in your hands, no matter how good they are, will be trash!"
"Because he doesn't have a man's pride!"
"I know that you all were top blacksmiths and blacksmiths in the Western Regions. However, you all have seen this thing. If you really want to go further in this field, I, Zhang Feng, am willing to teach you all what you can learn. Not to mention firearms, even if it is something that can be fired directly from here to the Turkic Kingdom, as long as Lao Tzu thoroughly researched it, I will definitely teach you how to make it!"
"But … you should also understand the premise."
However, Zhang Feng's action made Li Shimin a little confused. After Zhang Feng finished delegating the matter, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask on the way back, "Feng Zi, there are so many craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty. Why did you …"
"Do you know the Toolman?"
Zhang Feng interrupted Li Shimin and pointed in the direction of the waterfall. "You may not understand even if I tell you. They are actually a group of lunatics. For something, they will spend their whole life trying to climb to the peak. Previously, we extinguished all their hopes and left a window for them."
"As long as they have gratitude in their hearts, under the constant stimulation and temptation in the future, they will definitely be much better than these top craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin was even more confused about Zhang Feng's idea.
Zhang Feng's idea was very simple. He wanted to cultivate these people as scientific lunatics. As long as he could cultivate these 30 people into scientific lunatics, his research institute would be truly established.
As for this matter, Zhang Feng already had a plan when he first saw these 30 people.
If he used people from the Tang Dynasty, would he treat them in this way?
"I believe you should know that, Lao Li. This is also why I don't need local craftsmen from the Tang Dynasty. First, these people are easy to control. They don't have so many entangled interests. In their hearts, no matter how good their lives are, they are still slaves. In order to get rid of this label and let their descendants truly raise their heads, they will only work harder to complete the tasks I assign."
Zhang Feng's words made Li Shimin's mind roar. As Zhang Feng said, this was exactly what he was worried about and hesitated to call the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works.
Or to recruit some smelting masters from the people.
But after thinking about it.
These people basically had a complicated network of relationships, and what Zhang Feng controlled could easily affect the rise and fall of a dynasty.
Therefore, Li Shimin just kept silent, but he somewhat understood Zhang Feng's approach.
Li Shimin smacked his lips, touched the Mitsubishi bayonet in his sleeve, and said, "Feng Zi, do you plan to make these things with these 30 people?"
"If so, when will we be able to …"
"Who said that?"
Zhang Feng turned around and looked at Arkinnon and the others, who were busy working excitedly, and said, "These people are all treasures. Now that the steel has been successfully refined, the next thing they need to do is to refine it. As for the later stages, you still need to find someone to do it, such as tempering and so on. As long as I'm done with the smelting, the rest is up to you. As for whether you can make a gun within a month, that's up to you."
Li Shimin heard this and could not help but smile bitterly, "You still want to set me up?"
But Li Shimin immediately understood Zhang Feng's intention, and nodded in agreement.
But when they reached the mountain gate, Li Shimin could not help but ask, "Then, this bayonet, you plan to …"
"When there is more coal, I will set up a steel factory on the mountain. I have already told you about this. Therefore, you can decide what to make in the future. My mountain is only in charge of the raw materials. As for the firearms, other than the precision parts, you only need to find someone to process them immediately. This thing doesn't require any technical skills, so even if the news of it spreads, it won't be a big deal."
Li Shimin's eyes flashed. He did not understand Zhang Feng.
Especially now, Zhang Feng's approach, he could not help but ask in surprise, "This … Isn't this a little too …?"
"What's that?"
Zhang Feng said with a smile, "This is a new business model. A group of people can drive a group of people. I think you, Lao Li, understand the principle of a group of people driving a group of people, right?"
"…"
