Lao Niutou would also send Zhao Chen a letter from time to time.
In addition to daily concerns and inquiries, there are also more serious expectations.
Lao Niutou didn't want Zhao Chen's abilities to be wasted in the peaceful land of Chang'an.
The bearded man in front of him seemed to have a pretty good relationship with Niu Jinda, otherwise Niu Jinda wouldn't have mentioned himself to him all the time.
"Old Wei, grab a chicken and come here." Zhao Chen and Wei Zheng shouted.
Old Wei had just sat down to rest for a while when he heard Zhao Chen calling him again. How could he feel happy?
With a dark face and an unhappy look on his face, he grabbed a chicken and walked to Zhao Chen's side.
"Our vice-dean is so incredible now that he actually caught the chicken himself."
"If word of this gets out, it will probably become a topic of conversation among people all over the world."
"Doctor Wei, as our admonishing official in the Tang Dynasty, can you do this?"
Seeing that Wei Zheng was so "hands-on", the people standing nearby who came to watch the trap started talking in low voices.
Many people even had strange expressions on their faces.
The emperor stood in front, listening to the discussions of the people behind him. He was in a surprisingly bad mood. He said to Empress Changsun beside him: "As an admonishing official, Wei Zheng is so incompetent. I am very annoyed."
"How can such behavior be worthy of the office of admonishing a high official?"
Empress Changsun didn't quite understand what Old Li Tou meant.
He didn't make any sound at the moment.
"Giggle--"
Wei Zheng drove the chicken away from the trap.
The rooster was frightened and ran forward with all his strength.
But it just touched the cotton thread on the ground.
In front of everyone's eyes, they saw crossbow arrows shooting out from the left and right towards the middle.
In just a moment, the rooster that rushed in was covered in blood as the arrows flew. It didn't even take a second step and was shattered into a puddle of rotten flesh.
"hiss--"
The bearded man standing next to Zhao Chen took a deep breath.
It's like having your teeth stuffed with cold water.
"This...this..." Wei Zheng was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
This was also the first time he saw the true power of this trap.
What's more important is that Zhao Chen didn't give him a warning.
If Wei Zheng drives the rooster forward, won't he himself become a sieve?
For a moment, Old Wei Tou even wondered if Zhao Chen wanted to kill someone and silence him because he took away 30% of his profits.
Not only Wei Zheng himself, but also the emperor and others watching from a distance were all smart.
"Is there really such a powerful trap in this world?"
"Before I came here, I was worried that these two money would be wasted, but I didn't expect that I was limited!"
"Zhao Chen is really capable. Only now do I understand what it means to influence the whole body by pulling one hair."
"Isn't that right? The rooster obviously only touched a piece of cotton thread, but twenty crossbows fired their crossbow arrows at the same time, turning it into meaty paste in a matter of seconds."
"If such a sophisticated thing is used on the battlefield, it will definitely catch you by surprise."
There was a sound of exclamation in the training ground, and everyone looked at Zhao Chen with the slightest admiration.
The people in the army focused more on the trap in that scene.
They heard that this trap can also automatically replenish arrows.
I don't know if it's true.
Just as they were thinking about it, they saw the bearded man next to Zhao Chen take out a money bag from his arms.
He grabbed a handful and threw it towards the trap ahead.
The copper coin fell to the ground, hit the cotton thread, and another round of arrows shot out.
The rooster carcass, which was already in pieces, was now rolling all over the ground, leaving a layer of blood on the ground.
"Okay, okay!" The bearded man's face was full of excitement, and he bowed deeply to Zhao Chen: "Mr. Zhao is a great talent, and I will respect him in the end."
"Mr. Zhao, can you teach this method to the army? The officers and soldiers in the army will be happy and excited." The bearded man held fists with Zhao Chen and said.
"this……"
Zhao Chen was a little hesitant.
Although this thing has been spread, there is no big problem.
After all, everyone is a member of the Tang Dynasty. As the strength of the army increases, he can also be cool in Chang'an City, right?
But hand it over for free...
"General Su, this is not possible. Zhao Chen is a gentleman from the academy. The academy also has a share of credit for the things he created."
"Just like the rooster just now, the rare thing that I have been raising for more than half a year was completely destroyed by this trap."
"The academy has suffered a huge loss." What Zhao Chen hadn't said yet was immediately spit out by Wei Zheng.
Zhao Chen was very satisfied with Wei Zheng's performance.
Good guy, this old Wei is like a roundworm in his stomach.
Before Zhao Chen was happy, he saw Wei Zheng and himself holding out three fingers.
The old guy actually wants three points of benefits again!
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun walked behind them at some unknown time.
Listening to Zhao Chen and Wei Zheng singing and asking for money from the bearded man, Li Shimin felt his head hurt.
The old and the young are so obsessed with money, right?
"Zhao Chen, do you think the design drawing of this crossbow machine will cost more?" Li Shimin and Zhao Chen asked.
"It depends on Old Wei's boss." Zhao Chen would not rush up to block Old Wei's gun at this time.
He just pushed Old Wei forward.
Wei Zheng was stunned. He didn't know that the emperor suddenly heard what he said.
The key is that this kid Zhao Chen did not hesitate to put the burden on himself.
"Your Majesty, minister..."
"Tell me about it, this thing must be taught in the army, I won't care." Li Shimin smiled at the corners of his eyes.
"Then... then a reward of 10,000 gold?" Wei Zheng said cautiously.
The more the emperor smiled, the more uneasy he felt.
After hearing Wei Zheng say that he only needed ten thousand gold, Zhao Chen wanted to kick him to death.
Ten thousand pieces of gold are worth only ten guan, why are you sending a beggar away like this?
"Okay, then I'll reward you with 10,000 gold!" Li Shimin nodded.
He turned and shouted loudly: "It is my decree that Wannian County Duke Zhao Chen is very capable and has won my heart. He was moved to Wannian County Magistrate. He took office two days later and admonished the officials. Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng has unparalleled loyalty and righteousness, so he was moved to Wannian County Magistrate."
"
"Give me ten thousand gold and a hundred bolts of silk."
This order given to the emperor in the originally noisy training ground was instantly silenced.
Everyone looked at Zhao Chen in surprise.
Zhao Chen looked at Empress Changsun and saw that she did not show any surprise, so he knew that this matter had been discussed by the emperor and empress.
It doesn't matter to Zhao Chen if he goes to Wannian County to be the county magistrate.
It is even possible to let him return to Wannian County in vain.
But why did Wei Zheng get fucked to the end all at once?
The admonishment officer of Yushitai is an official position of the third rank.
The county magistrate of Wannian County is no more than eight ranks.
This is such a blatant entrapment.
Zhao Chen clearly saw Wei Zheng shaking for two seconds.
After that, there was no anger in the meeting.
"May I ask your Majesty, why did Doctor Wei do anything wrong and was demoted to a mere county magistrate by your Majesty?" Zhao Chen was a little annoyed and asked the emperor.
"Are you questioning me?" Old Li Tou originally wanted to explain to Zhao Chen, but didn't want to hear Zhao Chen ask him this.
At that moment, I felt extremely annoyed.
"I don't have any questions. I just feel that His Majesty is being unfair." Zhao Chen looked at Old Li Tou without any fear at all.?
