I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 748 Commendation Summary Conference!

After the matter of the small steam engine came to an end, Li Tian began to formally deal with the purpose of coming to Tiangong Academy this time.

The achievements of Tiangong Academy in the past six months are obvious to all.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and summarizing the achievements of the past six months is one aspect.

The main purpose of Li Tian's visit this time is to reward meritorious craftsmen and technicians and encourage them to make persistent efforts in the next year.

Among the most important projects of Tiangongyuan at present.

The most outstanding achievements are actually those craftsmen in the mechanical department.

Among them, Zhou Zhen and Liu Baohe also contributed a lot.

With a wave of his hand, Li Tian directly took out 1 taels of silver to reward these craftsmen who made outstanding contributions.

Because Zhou Zhen and Liu Baohe were both the main developers and leaders, they each received a reward of 2000 taels of silver.

In addition to the Mechanical Department, Liu Baohe's arsenal is less credited.

On the surface, it doesn't look like they're doing anything great.

But in Li Tian's view, it is only due to the mass production of new rifles and the development of flat-fire guns and grenades that these guys should give a comment that they have contributed a lot.

It was also 1 taels of silver, but because Liu Baohe was the direct leader, he received 2000 taels again.

Then it was the craftsmen in the glass department who were so brilliant this year that the entire Tiangong Institute envied and hated them.

There are only a few craftsmen in this department, which can be regarded as the branch with the smallest number of people in Tiangongyuan.

But the value they create is unmatched by all others combined.

With the glass crafts they fired, Li Tian got 600 million taels of silver in one night.

Although they had already been rewarded once at that time, Li Tian still gave them a reward of 5000 taels of silver figuratively.

Even though the reward was less than half of that of other departments, but there were so few of them, it was distributed equally to everyone, and everyone got a generous reward of 800 taels of silver at least.

When those people came forward to receive the reward, everyone else in the audience couldn't help casting envious looks.

Then there is the chemistry department that has been engaged in soap soap innovation and helping Li Tian mass-produce milk tea and milk powder.

To be honest, the presence of their department is probably lower than those in the glass department.

But no matter what they say, they can be regarded as creating a lot of benefits for Li Tian.

It is still 5000 meanings.

In the end, there are dozens of craftsmen from the Ministry of Infrastructure that have been unknown but are still strong.

Speaking of which, they can be said to be the most wronged and helpless bunch of guys.

It is precisely because Li Tian wants to develop cement that Tiangongyuan ordered people to build it.

They can be regarded as the source of everything, but after the past six months, they have become the most neglected and least popular department in Tiangong Academy, and they have not yet achieved any outstanding results.

Other departments get rewards every now and then, but they have been working hard for half a year without any rewards.

It is impossible not to be discouraged.

But Li Tian didn't take them seriously because of their obscurity.

Without them, Daming might not be able to achieve mass production of cement.

Cement will definitely be the top priority of Daming Infrastructure in the future, and the moment when the giant wheel of Daming Industry starts to turn is when they will really shine.

To put it bluntly, in the future Tiangong Institute, except for the Mechanical Department, no one can compare to the guys from the Infrastructure Department.

When they make money, they are still growing.

In contrast, whether it is the glass division that makes the most money this year, or the chemical division that is second.

Future growth is very limited.

But the Ministry of Infrastructure is different. In the future, Daming will build tens of thousands of kilometers of roads and tens of thousands of high-rise buildings.

There are countless places where basic industrial materials such as cement are used.

No matter from the perspective of making money, or from the importance of promoting Daming industry, they are irreplaceable and cannot be acquired.

In order to encourage them, they continue to study and create more value.

Li Tian made an exception and gave some of them a reward of 2 taels.

After hearing such a high reward, everyone in Tiangongyuan was overwhelmed.

Someone said in a puzzled way,

"Why, they guys have been burning and burning all day long, and they haven't seen any results for half a year. Why do they get more bonuses than us!"

Of course, this kind of sound is only whispered in a small area.

They didn't dare to discuss loudly when Li Tian was still there.

But Li Tian still keenly felt the changes in everyone's emotions.

Just at this time, the rewards have been distributed.

So Li Tian stood at the highest point and said to all the craftsmen and civil servants of Tiangong Institute,
"The longest time you have joined Tiangong Academy is half a year, and the shortest time is at least half a month.

I believe you also know how important the existence of Tiangongyuan is to the future of my Daming! "

"Today's award is just the beginning, and this is only the first year. I hereby assure you that every year in the future, awarding will become a routine.

I will reward all branches or individuals who have made outstanding contributions in the next year.

Future rewards will only be higher than today, never less. "

As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of cheers from the audience.

Li Tian raised his hand to suppress the warm voice.

continued,

"There's an old saying that goes well, it's not enough to suffer from inequality.

Some of you may feel that one department gets more rewards and another department gets less.Even those who should not be rewarded have been rewarded. "

"But what I want to tell you is that scientific research does not necessarily have to produce obvious benefits to be considered successful.

Take the mechanical department as an example. They have been researching for so long and spent a lot of money, but the things they have created have not yet made money.

But can you say that the people in the mechanical department are all poor people, so it's useless! "

"In the long run, the value they can create in the future with what they have developed now is far beyond your imagination.

1 taels, I feel that I gave too little! "

The people from the Machinery Department and the Infrastructure Department lowered their heads in shame, and were about to accept Li Tian's reprimand.

But unexpectedly, Li Tian had such high expectations for them.

This made them raise their heads one by one, feeling a little bit of relief, and a little bit of pride overflowing from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Tian continued,

"The work of the Tiangongyuan does not distinguish between high or low, or seriousness. Even if it can only create a penny worth of value in the future, it is worth our pursuit.

This is the spirit of our Tiangongyuan, I hope you can keep it in mind in the future! "
