"Zhao Chen, I can agree to your conditions, but I want to see the bed crossbow you mentioned."
The craftsmen were still thinking that the emperor would definitely not agree to Zhao Chen's request.
Unexpectedly, the emperor nodded and agreed.
Although I wanted to see the crossbow that Zhao Chen mentioned, I finally agreed.
It is difficult for craftsmen to understand why the dignified emperor agreed to such an rude request.
"That money..."
"Funded by the Ministry of War." The emperor's tone seemed a little annoyed.
...
Zhao Chen didn't care whether the emperor was angry.
As long as the emperor promises to pay, nothing can be said.
If Hou Junji dared not give him a gift, Zhao Chen would dare to go to his house to shoot him.
Anyway, they are just tearing each other apart, so Zhao Chen doesn't mind letting Hou Junji have a good face.
The emperor was obviously unwilling to be deceived by Zhao Chen in just one sentence.
He forced Zhao Chen to show him the crossbow now.
Hou Junji hated him in his heart, and could not let Zhao Chen be fooled in front of the emperor.
Of course I won't rush to leave.
As for those folk craftsmen, they want to leave, but they dare to leave, but they dare not.
A completed crossbow was moved to the open space of the Military Art Supervision Square.
It is said to be a bed crossbow, but it is actually improved on the basis of a winch crossbow.
Still combining the two bows together.
This greatly strengthens the tension and strength of the crossbow.
However, this is extremely labor-intensive and without sufficient manpower, it is impossible to pull the crossbow.
This also leads to the lack of power of the bed crossbow developed by the military weapon supervisor.
If you can't pull the crossbow, where is the power of the crossbow arrow?
"What do you think?" The emperor couldn't help feeling unhappy when he saw that Zhao Chen was not moving.
I promised to give him 300,000 yuan, but this guy is not moving yet.
"It's very easy to solve your problem, you just need to add something."
"But your Majesty, do you want a more powerful crossbow? I can create it for you." Zhao Chen looked at the emperor with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty!" Hou Junji shouted to the emperor with a bitter face.
He is really afraid that the emperor will agree directly when his mind is hot.
What if Zhao Chen made a more powerful crossbow, what should the emperor ask his Ministry of War to pay?
He, Hou Junji, couldn't get so much money even if he sold his money!
The emperor wanted to agree, after all...
But when I saw Hou Junji's appearance, I still held it a little.
"You can prepare this thing for me first."
"If this is done, I will consider talking to you about the next one!" The emperor waved his hand and said to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen didn't care, so he waved his hand to call a guard and said a few words in his ear.
The guard nodded and left, and Zhao Chen found a sunny place in the square and sat down.
Old Li: "???"
The emperor was a little confused.
I was waiting here just to see Zhao Chen solve the problem of insufficient power of this crossbow.
But this guy actually sat down?
"Shangshu Hou, if you are fine, you can raise money first. I will visit you in person at this time tomorrow."
"If Hou Shangshu can't get the money out of the way, don't blame Zhao Chen for being merciless."
"You also know that the students in the academy are lawless people. If you accidentally break someone's leg, then..."
"Zhao Chen, you!" Hou Junji looked fierce.
Hou Junji still remembers that last time Zhao Chen took revenge on him one after another.
Not only did he smash his own glass shop, but he also broke all his children's legs.
Even himself was threatened by Zhao Chen's death.
Now Zhao Chen dares to mention this matter.
"What's wrong with me?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"I just kindly reminded Mr. Hou that I will prepare the money tomorrow morning."
"Of course, if Mr. Hou is not in a hurry, he can stay here and see it. Maybe I can't solve the problem of this crossbow!" Zhao Chen continued to talk to Hou Junji, completely ignoring that Hou Junji could kill people.
He stared at himself.
Hou Junji did not leave.
He really wanted to see how Zhao Chen solved the problem of insufficient power of this crossbow.
If it cannot be solved, he must let Zhao Chen have a good memory.
Zhao Chen sat in the sun, and Old Li frowned and did not speak, with a little annoyed on his face.
Hou Junji's face was even more angry.
Now I want to strangle Zhao Chen to death on the spot.
They didn't speak, but the craftsmen standing a little far away started to talk.
"You guys say, does this Zhao County Gong really have a way to solve the problem of insufficient power of this crossbow?" a craftsman asked.
"It should be, otherwise how dare he ask His Majesty for 300,000 yuan? Let's see how shocked His Majesty the Emperor!" Someone replied in a low voice.
"I think it's unlikely. Apart from a lot of manpower, who can easily pull the bow of this crossbow?"
"That's right. Even a person with natural divine power will find it difficult to pull the bow. This county lord is probably bragging."
"It's said that the Emperor's Majesty is spoiled by this Duke of Zhao County. It's really good. He is definitely the first one to ask for 300,000 yuan from His Majesty."
"So even if you fail, your Majesty will scold you at most and you won't do anything to him."
"Yes, we have been doing these things for many years, and at least for more than twenty years. Faced with such a problem, there is no way to do it."
"To put it bluntly, he is a young boy, why?"
After all, craftsmen don’t believe that Zhao Chen can solve the problem of this crossbow.
After waiting for almost an hour, the emperor's face became increasingly ugly.
He wasn't full.
But Zhao Chen gave him the feeling that he was just full and had nothing to do.
"Zhao Chen, an hour has passed, you're the best..."
"Sir, here we are here!" Li Ke and Fang Yi ran in with two sacks in his arms.
It interrupted the emperor's words.
"Clang--" The sack was thrown to the ground, making a sound of metal hitting.
The two of them were sweating profusely, obviously the things in the sack were not easy at all.
"What is this?" the emperor frowned and looked at Li Ke.
"The pulleys are all poured with cooked iron, which is much more solid than wood!" Li Ke explained.
Throw all the iron blocks in the sack to the ground.
There was a clanging sound.
Everyone's eyes were all looking at them.
They have never seen such a strange thing.
Hou Junji also saw that some small iron blocks can solve the problem of insufficient power of the bed crossbow?
Isn't this a fool?
Hou Junji felt disdainful, and it was much easier than before.
At least he didn't believe what the use of these rags could be.
The emperor frowned, and he felt that these things looked familiar.
It seems like I have seen this thing somewhere.
"Your Majesty, you forgot that sir had shown this pulley with us in the academy?"
"Mr. I rely on these things to lift up a thousand pounds of things." Fang Yizhi recalled to the emperor.
When the emperor heard this, he suddenly realized.
He realized that he had added this thing to the academy before.
That time, Zhao Chen said that he would lift a stone lock weighing thousands of pounds by himself, but everyone didn't believe it.
But the fact is that Zhao Chen really only used a few wooden pulleys and easily hung the stone locks in the air.
Chapter completed!
