Although glass beads look good, Nathan knows that glass beads cannot help the Black Tiger tribe get out of its current predicament.
Relatively speaking, he is more interested in hot air balloons.
Realizing that Li Didi was in a good mood at the moment, he asked tentatively: "Master Li, which factory are the hot air balloons made in?"
As a result, Li Didi shook his head and replied: "This is a secret, we can't say it!"
In fact, the hot air balloon factory is not a mystery. Li Didi said this not only because he wanted to increase the value of hot air balloons, but also because he didn't want to answer this question.
Although he arrived late, he also heard about Wei Laosan.
Because of the traitor Wei Laosan, Xihewan suffered heavy damage and was almost defeated by the hot air balloon formation commanded by Mr. Feng.
At that time, almost all thatched houses in the village were burned down.
Now if you look carefully from the hot air balloon, you can still see burn marks on the roofs of some brick houses in the village.
These traces were caused by the original battle.
Therefore, the villagers of Xihewan rarely mentioned Wei Laosan, nor did they discuss the hot air balloon factory.
Li Didi was also affected.
When Nathan saw that Li Didi was unwilling to talk about the hot air balloon, he changed the subject and asked, "Can you talk about the heavy crossbow? In which factory was it made?"
After the Black Tiger Tribe witnessed the hot air balloon battle between the Escorts and the Goshawk Tribe on the plateau, the most interesting thing was the hot air balloon, and the second was the heavy crossbow.
Because in that battle, the Goshawk Tribe's hot air balloon was unable to reach even the Escort Division's hot air balloon, and was shot down by a heavy crossbow several hundred meters away.
The leader of the Black Tiger tribe felt itchy.
After all, Nathan is the envoy from the Black Tiger tribe. He has just rejected him once, so it would be a bit uncomfortable to reject him a second time.
So Li Didi pointed to the wood factory and said: "No, the heavy crossbow was made in that factory!"
Although the main structure of the heavy crossbow is made of wood, the real core components are all metal, made in the iron smelting workshop.
But Li Didi didn’t want to tell Nathan.
"How many heavy crossbows can be produced every day?" Nathan asked again.
Things are always more valuable than anything else. If you talk too much, if Jin Feng agrees to trade heavy crossbows with the Black Tiger Tribe, it will be hard to ask for a price.
Based on Li Didi's understanding of Jin Feng, it is very likely that he will agree to trade the heavy crossbow.
So Li Didi replied: "The craftsmanship of the heavy crossbow is extremely complicated, and production is also very time-consuming. The entire wood factory has more than 300 workers and can make two heavy crossbows in one day!"
When Nathan heard this, his face couldn't help but fall.
He could sense that Li Didi was not telling the truth, but in Nathan's opinion, since Li Didi said so, it is estimated that the actual output of heavy crossbows will not be very high.
If you want to buy a heavy crossbow in the future, I'm afraid you'll have to spend a lot of money.
Nathan silently noted the location of the wood factory, preparing to visit how heavy crossbows are produced if there is a chance.
Nathan then asked about several other factories, and Li Didi also gave a brief introduction to them.
During the introduction, Li Didi inevitably exaggerated some facts, leaving Nathan stunned for a moment.

After introducing several factories in Changshegou, the airship also landed.
The officials sent by Tie Shixin hurriedly came forward, raised their hands towards Li Didi and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li. Under the orders of Mr. Tie, my subordinate Ma Wanlin came to greet Mr. Li!"
Li Didi asked: "Master Tie, do you have any instructions?"
In fact, Tie Shixin didn't say anything before asking Ma Wanlin to come. He just asked him to welcome Li Didi on behalf of the Privy Council.
Before Ma Wanlin came to Sichuan, he had served as a county magistrate in Jiangnan. Although he was dismissed because he had been unwilling to bribe his superiors, he had also experienced in officialdom. After a moment of confusion, he heard the meaning in Li Didi's words.
So he followed Li Didi's words and said: "Master Tie said that Master Li is back and asked Master Li to go to the Privy Council to hand over the documents."
"Okay, I get it!" Li Didi nodded with satisfaction, then pointed at Nathan and said: "This is Nathan, the envoy of the Black Tiger Tribe. Please arrange a place to live. Don't neglect it!"
"Yes!" Ma Wanlin nodded quickly.
Li Didi looked at Nathan again: "I'm going to the Privy Council to hand over some documents. How about you and Mr. Ma go to the inn to have a rest first?"
"Then when can I see the Master?" Nathan asked.
"The National Preceptor has a lot of things to do every day, and I can't see him easily. Where can I find him and when will he be free?"
Li Didi said: "But after I go to the Privy Council to hand over the documents, the Privy Council will definitely report it to the Imperial Preceptor. After the Imperial Preceptor takes the time, I estimate that he will see you in the next few days!"
After saying that, without waiting for Nathan's reply, he left with his entourage.
Nathan wanted to go with Li Didi, but seeing that he had already walked away, he could only take his entourage and follow Ma Wanlin to the inn.
Arriving at the duty room at the airport, Li Didi immediately asked someone to fetch a fast horse and ran straight towards the village.
Still more than ten meters away from Jin Feng's house, Li Didi saw Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess waiting at the door.
Li Didi quickly reined in the reins, jumped off the horse, and walked quickly towards Jin Feng.
When he was still several meters away from Jin Feng, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Young Master Li Didi of Honglu Temple is here to meet His Majesty and pay homage to Mr. Jin!"
"Get up! Get up!" Jin Feng took two steps forward and pulled Li Didi up: "Didn't I say that Dakang doesn't have the ritual of kneeling down? If you keep doing this, I will deduct your wages!"
"Your Majesty and your husband are waiting at the door in person. Didi is very grateful!" Li Didi said excitedly.
"You risked your life and death to go to the plateau to seek negotiations. You are a great contributor to our great prosperity. If Wuyang hadn't said that the plateau envoy was coming, it would be inappropriate for me to go to the airport. I would definitely go to the airport to pick you up!"
Jin Feng pulled Li Didi's shoulder and asked him to face him: "Come, let me see how your injury is doing?"
Jin Feng looked Li Didi up and down and frowned.
The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are strong, and Li Didi's face was very tanned.
Moreover, it must have been relatively cold when I first went to the plateau. There were a few patches of skin on my face that were different, obviously due to frostbite.
There were no wounds on his body. When Xiaoyu reported before, he said he had a bandage on his head, but it was gone now. It was probably removed on the way back.
But Jin Feng saw a piece of hair stuck together on his head, which should have been caused by blood coagulation.
There are also scratches on the left side of the face.
Li Didi was only a teenager, and to Jin Feng, she was still a child, but now she was like this,
