Yi Mingxue raised her eyebrows.

He said in a clear voice: "You want this crossbow? Yes, you can..."

The young general's eyes lit up when he heard this.

This is more valuable than watermelon. I didn’t expect that Yi Mingxue could really get it.

His face was calm, but there was a hint of urgency in his tone: "As long as you can help me get more of these crossbows, the matter of this kid hurting my subordinates will be wiped out. Otherwise..."

The coercion in his tone was obvious.

Yi Mingxue, however, was not fooled by him and remained calm and decisive.

"If your subordinates don't want to embarrass my brothers and sisters, they won't be hurt. No matter where you go to argue this matter, I'm not afraid. If you really want to cooperate, you'd better show some sincerity."

Her tone was so firm that the young general was speechless for a moment, but there was a look of appreciation in his eyes.

He really didn't see many women with such a tenacious temperament.

Especially in this remote mountainous area, born into a poor peasant family.

After a while, he continued.

"Sure! I will charge you as much watermelon as you are willing to sell. As for these crossbows, you quote a price. The larger the quantity, the better."

The situation suddenly changed, and some of the villagers on the side, as well as the gang leaders who came out to purchase, failed to keep up.

But Yi Mingxue said calmly.

"I won't help you mass-produce crossbows, but I can get the drawings. Even...if necessary, I can upgrade and improve the drawings according to your requirements."

"Is this true?" The young general looked happy, but mostly in disbelief.

At first, he just thought that the woman knew some skilled craftsmen, and he just wanted to get more and go back to improve the armament.

Unexpectedly, she could even get the blueprints.

If there were blueprints, the imperial court would have many materials and craftsmen.

Wouldn’t it be a problem if everyone had one?

He was overjoyed and agreed very readily: "If you can have the drawings, that would be the best. You might as well make an offer."

Yi Mingxue said calmly, "It depends on whether you want to buy it out or not."

"What does it mean to buy out, and what does it mean to not buy out?" the young general asked quickly.

It has been firmly controlled by Yi Mingxue.

"Buyout means that I will only sell this drawing to you. Not buying out is of course also literal. As long as someone buys it, I will sell it."

The young general hesitated, "If it can really become a military weapon, this blueprint must be a high-level secret and must not be spread easily. Buy it out, I must buy it out!"

Yi Mingxue had already expected that he would choose this way.

"If you buy it out, the price won't be cheap."

The young general hesitated for a moment, his eyes lingering on the crossbow for a while.

There was a hint of caution in his tone: "How much do you want?"

"Five hundred taels." Yi Mingxue's expression did not change, and she said a number calmly.

Everyone present took a deep breath.

The villagers thought it was extremely ridiculous.

It's such an inconspicuous little crossbow that Yi Tianlei usually plays with.

Yi Daya dared to ask for five hundred taels.

The young general was also stunned and repeated: "Five hundred taels? That's too much!"

Yi Mingxue shrugged indifferently.

I had no idea what an astronomical figure I had said!

Her expression was indifferent, as if she didn't want to love her.

He said, "That's all. You can figure it out yourself if you want."

The young general gritted his teeth and looked hesitantly at the beautiful and powerful crossbow.

It took a long time before he replied: "The price is really too high. I need to take the physical object back to the military camp and discuss it with the generals before making a decision."

Yi Mingxue also knew that the matter could not be so simple.

He nodded and replied: "Okay. You think about it carefully. If you have made up your mind, come to me at any time. If I am not at home, I will be at the Yijia Automobile Dealership."

The young general nodded.

Although he secretly cursed Yi Mingxue as a black-hearted businessman.

But this crossbow looked really good to him.

In fact, the general has been worried recently about the obsolete and outdated weapons in the army.

But the imperial armament factory has not updated its armaments for a long time.

If a good weapon blueprint can be handed over in this matter, it will be a great achievement.

As for other issues such as the leakage of drawings, he is not worried at all.

The imperial military factory collected drawings from the private sector more than once or twice.

When a drawing like this is submitted, it will go through hundreds of skilled craftsmen discussions and make countless improvements before it can be put into production again.

By that time, the key points between the actual object and the drawings in Yi Mingxue's hands were already different.

…

After discussing this matter.

The young general then sent people to collect melons from the fields.

Seeing that the two of them had a smooth conversation in the end, Li Cong also called on the villagers who were watching the excitement to go into the field to help.

The villagers and soldiers worked together to collect eight hundred kilograms of melons in no time.

Soon someone came to report.

"General, general! All eight hundred kilograms of melons have been collected."

After hearing this, the young general looked up and saw a pile of round, hill-like melons not far away, all arranged neatly.

He frowned: "Why so little? This is not enough."

Their entire army numbered at least tens of thousands of people.

Eight hundred kilograms of melons were transported, which was not enough for the soldiers to fill their teeth.

The young general turned his eyes and looked at the green space next to Yi Ming's snow melon patch.

Yi Mingxue asked in confusion: "Where are these melons here? Why aren't they for sale?"

"Those are defective products." Yi Mingxue explained.

She rolled up her sleeves, walked to the nearest field, bent down and picked up a melon.

Using the palm of his hand as a knife, he split the melon open in front of everyone.

As Yi Mingxue said, this melon looks good.

It's a pity that the inside is not good, it's all pink and white pulp, only a little bit of pink core.

Yi Mingxue broke through a few more melons, and the condition of the melons was exactly the same as the one just now.

She said bluntly: "The quality of these melons is not good, with thick skin and little meat. They are not sweet at all, and there are too few places where they are available."

The young general looked at the melon field with some regret. As far as the eye could see, there were all these inferior melons.

However, although the quality is not superior, the quantity is sufficient.

He thought for a while and said to Yi Mingxue: "It doesn't matter. I can take them all together."

Yi Mingxue raised her eyebrows: "Are you sure?"

The young general nodded: "Although the quality of these melons is not good, we have a cook in the army, so we can let him peel and keep the core. As for whether it is sweet or not, it is just a bunch of rough men. As long as there are melons that can be eaten, it will be fine. No.

Will care so much."

Yi Mingxue heard what he said and stopped refuting for a while.

The surrounding villagers, who were all gathered around to watch the fun, were very excited when they heard this.

This was planted with the previous village chief Li.

Each family also lost a lot of seed money and labor.

Later it was discovered that the melons were all defective and had already been prepared to rot in the ground.

Unexpectedly, it was still sold today!

This is all thanks to Yi Daya.
