After hearing what Mo Zizai said, the hearts of the few people who had just calmed down immediately became very hot again.

Mo Zizai was right. Although the identity of the inventor has nothing to do with them, the glory of the first maker is enough to keep their name in history.

"As for the rewards from the court, I can't decide, so I don't care about him for now."

Mo Zizai looked at the three people who were already excited and continued, "What I can decide is that if the steam train is really created by a few people, I can give three people a reward of no less than 100,000 taels, and I hope the three adults can take their heart."

If one hundred thousand taels are calculated based on salary, it would be enough for them to work for decades, so even those of them who do not have much desire for money could be moved when they heard this number.

"One hundred thousand taels..."

Both fame and li Mo Zizai were given, which made Deng Zhi not know what to say. He smiled bitterly and said to Mo Zizai: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this. We are craftsmen in the court, so we don't need to give special rewards."

"Two things." Mo Zizai shook his head and said, "One hundred thousand taels are not too much for the ability of several people. If I hadn't been worried that the treasury would have no money at that time, I wouldn't be stingy even if I hadn't been worried about the treasury that the treasury would be out of money at that time."

What Mo Zizai said is sincere. The Imperial Supervision is the highest position in the Great Zhou craftsmen, and being able to become the first and second leaders of the Imperial Supervision shows that Deng Zhi and the other two forging abilities are the top in the Great Zhou.

In other words, if you only talk about forging ability, a few people are at the level of the Great Zhou Dynasty, that is the best in the world!

If it weren't for the times that restricted them, just relying on this hand forging ability, it would be no exaggeration for them to earn 100,000 taels a year.

Because of the low status of the craftsman, Deng Zhi thought Mo Zizai was just polite to him, so he had to say: "Don't worry, the emperor is willing to issue a military order and must get this steam train out."

Zhao Ran, who had been silent all the time, seemed to want to say something, and hesitated. It was not until Deng Zhi issued a military order that he asked tentatively: "Prince, is it better to build this steam train faster?"

"Of course."

Mo Zizai looked at Zhao Ran with a little strangeness, wondering why he asked this question, "The faster the steam train can be built, the faster it can be put into use."

Hearing Mo Zizai's answer, he made a fuss and asked directly: "Since that's the case, can the official invite a few friends to participate?"

"To be honest, if only our imperial prisoner is the one who wants to hit this big guy by hand alone, it will take at least one or two years, not to mention that the steam train and carriage need to be built, it will take longer to take."

"So I want to invite a few old friends to participate in this matter."

"Old friend?" Mo Zizai asked, "Are he a great craftsman?"

"That's right."

Zhao Ran nodded and explained: "Because some people are not willing to be bound, they have not joined the Imperial Prison. If the prince agrees, I am willing to convince these people to join the Imperial Prison."

The so-called great craftsman refers to the level of craftsmen. In the Great Zhou craftsmen are divided into three levels, namely craftsmen, craftsmen, and craftsmen.

If you want to reach the level of a master craftsman, in addition to the superb forging techniques, there is also the most basic threshold, that is, your cultivation must reach the seventh-grade bone forging realm.

Although this condition seems very harsh, it is also reasonable in one aspect. After all, there are many ores with extremely high hardness in this world. If you can't even beat the ore, how about casting?

Mo Zizai naturally would not refuse such a thing, "It is naturally no problem with this kind of thing. As long as he is a master, he will have no objection to the number of kings who come to him."

After hearing Mo Zizai's words, Deng Zhi and the others were also slightly moved. After all, birds of feathers gather together, so who doesn't have many friends with masters?

Because craftsmen are not valued, some people with a relatively arrogant temperament are not willing to become officials and receive anger. But now it is different. Mo Zizai's tone is to use their craftsmen, and they have also mentioned them to the same status as Oshiji.

What is the status of Yuzhishi? The imperial power is granted, and all officials can be killed first and then reported. Although the reputation is not very good, who dares to deny their status and be on an equal footing with them? This matter is very majestic.

What's more, there is still a temptation of a steam train now. If you spread this matter a little, you will ensure that those masters will definitely break their heads and squeeze into his imperial prison.

Deng Zhi told Mo Zizai about his thoughts, and Mo Zizai was immediately inspired.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is similar to the ancient times in the previous life, and is divided into four levels: scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Now the lowest-level merchants have counterattacked by money, but the status of craftsmen is still so low that they are not valued.

Like Deng Zhi and the other two, if they had an official position, even if they were masters, they would still be craftsmen.

If you can issue a recruitment order and use high treatment to recruit folk craftsmen, I think it will definitely attract a lot of people.

"No, not just craftsmen, many things can be solved with rewards."

For example, the high-yield grain that Mo Zizai has been looking for can also be issued a reward to find. Mo Zizai doesn’t believe it. In such a large Zhou, there is no high-yield crops similar to potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"General Deng, I will leave it to you for recruiting masters. After you write the list, I will also ask Your Majesty to issue a recruitment order to recruit masters from the Great Zhou Circle."

After Mo Zizai finished exposing the matter, he went back to Shangyang Palace to write two orders for recruitment and one order for reward.

The contents of the two recruitment orders are to recruit master craftsmen and managers, and the reward orders are to offer high-yield crops.

There is no need to say much about the conditions for recruiting masters, but the conditions for recruiting corporate farmers are more general. Mo Zizai doesn’t know what the criteria for measuring a good farmer is, so he simply and roughly wrote about people who can increase grain output by more than 50%.

As for the rewards for high-yield crops, Mo Zizai has no restrictions. Regardless of whether the things planted can be eaten, as long as the yield is higher than the current grain, Mo Zizai wants it.

You are not afraid of mistakes, but you are afraid of missing them. Anyway, this kind of reward is calculated by using a guaranteed minimum of ten taels, and a useful one of ten thousand taels. If you can't find something useful, it won't cost much money. Mo Zizai can collect as much as you come.

After Mo Zi finished writing, he gently blew the rice paper. No matter who wrote this thing, as long as it was covered with a jade seal, it would be an imperial edict and sent back to the cabinet. If the cabinet had no objection, these three decrees could be issued.

However, they should be able to tell that they wrote it themselves, but no one dared to have any objections.

As soon as Mo Zizai put down the rice paper, he heard Tang Weiyi's footsteps coming from outside.

"Hmm?" Mo Zizai looked at the sky with a little strange look. Tang Weiyi usually had to discuss matters in the cabinet until six o'clock. Now it's only four o'clock at most. Why did Tang Weiyi come back?
