Chapter 685

"As for the pulley set, it is currently being tested on the No. 5 machine, and the effect is excellent. It only takes one person's strength to pull the bowstring to a fixed position. However, the wooden pulley can easily damage and crack, while the copper pulley is not effective."

"The craftsmen are now trying to make steel pulleys..." Zhao Xu nodded frequently with Zhao Ji's introduction. "Okay, it's quite good, but don't forget Wang Wushan's explanation, remember to keep it confidential."

"I know, but then again, our officials in the past were indeed too careless about this. After Mr. Wushan reminded me, I did find a lot of abnormalities, and I also caught a few spies. In addition, among the craftsmen, there were also many problems."

"After being interrogated by the imperial guards, most of them were from the Liao Kingdom, Xixia, and even the Japanese spies, which really scared my subordinates."

"My brother is thinking that if our ministers' newly developed weapons also fall into the hands of Northern Liao, it will definitely be a terrible thing for our Song Dynasty. Because the national strength of Northern Liao is similar to that of our Song Dynasty, they also have enough manpower and material resources..."

Zhao Xushen nodded with consent. "No, so tell the imperial guards that they will show me what to do, so don't have any problems. By the way, there is another good thing for brother, please come and have a look..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xu waved and signaled the eunuch next to him who had been holding a wooden box to walk closer, took the wooden box and handed it to Zhao Ji.

After Zhao Ji opened the wooden box with a lot of doubts, he exposed several artworks inside. Seeing the thin and straight lines and the familiar handwriting beside him, Zhao Ji couldn't help but say, "Is this presented by Mr. Wushan?"

"Well, look first. This is the siege machine invented by Mr. Wushan with a sudden inspiration on the battle formation... It can shoot a heavy object weighing 150 kilograms a hundred feet away."

"This, this was invented with a sudden inspiration..." Zhao Ji's face turned dark when he heard this. How could you stop working so hard, Mr. Wushan? I've been working here for several months before I got some results. As a result, you have an idea on the battlefield and invented and created things. Are you snatching my job?

Seeing Zhao Ji's frustrated look, Zhao Xu, the young emperor, couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Okay, you don't have to do this. Wang Wushan is not an extraordinary person after all. If you want to compete with him, it would be boring. Even if I am, I will be disappointed."

Zhao Ji nodded and began to look at Wang Yang's structural pattern of Yuanyou stone thrower seriously. He was soon immersed in it. The eyes behind the glasses were so bright that they were twitching. "This is... Hiss, it was originally this principle... amazing, it's really amazing..."

Zhao Ji looked at the structural patterns one by one, and even read the detailed explanation of the small words next to him carefully. After a long time, he felt relieved and shook his head with admiration.

"... Sure enough, Mr. Wushan is really a god. Such a simple but effective machine can be designed by extraordinary people."

"Yes, I specifically asked the messenger. The messenger said that at that time, the Prime Minister Han was also half-believing and half-doubted. However, after being bewitched by Wang Wushan, he finally sent a large number of wood and craftsmen from Hongzhou. As a result, four Yuanyou stone throwing machines were made in just a few days."

"It is these four platforms that can throw huge rocks weighing more than 100 kilograms a hundred feet away that can easily destroy the city walls and gates of the Wuyan ancient city, causing the Western Xia soldiers to lose the advantage of defending the city. Only then can our great Song Hu Ben break the Wuyan ancient city in a short time and win a great victory."

Zhao Ji, who was fascinated by his leisure, couldn't help but subconsciously complain. "Yuanyou stone throwing machine, it's true that this is the name again."

"Haha, yes, it's this name again. By the way, fortunately, I had not changed the year name when I came to power in the court. Otherwise, this Yuanyou stone thrower would have to change the name again." Zhao Xu couldn't help but laugh and was in a very happy mood.

But soon I saw Zhao Ji's sudden stunned look, and I couldn't help but stretch out my hand and patted Zhao Ji on the shoulder. "What's wrong with you, Shiyilang?"

"Officials, I am thinking that I have only known Mr. Wushan for more than a year, but so far, there are probably many things that have been invented and created by Mr. Wushan.

"If this happened, after ten or twenty years, I really don't know how many new things Mr. Wushan would have figuring out. At that time, wouldn't the world be full of Yuanyou and everyone knows Wang Wushan?"

"Everyone in the world is Yuanyou, and everyone knows Wangwushan?" Zhao Xu was also stunned, and then repeatedly chewed these two very appropriate words, and couldn't help laughing again. "What a world is Yuanyou, and everyone knows Wangwushan. Come, prepare to write down these two sentences and send them to Wangwushan."

"Ah, official, this is not good, right?" Zhao Ji couldn't help but be stunned. These two crooked poems were actually recorded by the official and given to Mr. Wushan. That would be too embarrassing, right?

"What's wrong with it? I just hope that Wang Wushan can invent and create thousands of Yuanyou things for my Song Dynasty. By that time, everyone in the world knew Wang Wushan, which was also the joy of my Song Dynasty and the glory of my Song Dynasty." Zhao Xu raised his pen with a happy face, and the dragon and phoenix danced without raising his head.

"...I decided that Yuanyou's year name will be used all the time. The year name is easier, but it is just a form. What is important is what I want to do and what I should do."

Looking at Zhao Xu, who was writing while expressing his thoughts, Zhao Ji was also shocked. He found that his image of the ninth brother seemed to have become taller and taller, and he was much more mature than before he met Wang Wushan.

After Zhao Xu wrote it, he also signed and sealed it. He asked someone to put it away first, and then sent it together when he wrote to Wang Yang.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom is here again, and they are also here with the envoys of the Western Xia." At this time, an eunuch hurried over and said in a low voice in Zhao Xu's ear.

"Who is the envoy of the Liao Kingdom?" Zhao Xu couldn't help frowning. "If I were still that idiot, I would feel that there was no need to meet."

"Your Majesty, it has been changed. This time, the person who came was Xiao Wuna, the envoy of Xuanwei of the Northern Court of the Liao Kingdom, and the envoy of the Western Xia was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Pochao Xinde."
