Here, Xie Yushu followed Emperor Qingyuan to the door of the imperial study, took the mahogany box containing the crossbow and followed him in, while Nan Xing was left waiting outside!
This was the first time that Xie Yushu had seen the emperor's study room in both time and space. After walking through several doors, there were two silent little eunuchs standing at each door.
Xie Yushu blindly guessed that either he had specially trained his breathing rate, or Qu Xiaodie said that his martial arts was unpredictable.
When she arrived at the emperor's desk, Xie Yushu was shocked.
There are six large nanmu tables in the room, and they are piled with rows and rows of half-person-high memorials. Behind the dragon chair in the middle is a plaque that says "diligence and care for the people." There are also half-approved memorials on the main table in front. According to the memorial, the other three walls of the study room are filled with bookshelves filled with books.
Um! Xie Yushu now believes what Han Zhongyu said, that the current Holy Master is Mingjun!
The emperor sat back at his desk. The memorial above almost blocked half of the emperor's face. Upon seeing this, Eunuch Liu moved the approved memorial away with a wink so that the emperor could look directly at Xie Yushu.
Xie Yushu came in and glanced at the surrounding environment out of habit, then lowered her head and waited for the emperor to ask questions.
Emperor Qingyuan saw her holding a big wooden box and couldn't help asking
"Just now I saw your little girl holding this wooden box, and now you are carrying it to the imperial study room. Why, is this a gift for me?"
Xie Yushu thought to herself that you had seen it, which made me hug you for such a long time, and she hurriedly replied
"Back to the Emperor, I formally intend to give you a gift!
Inside the box is a crossbow that I accidentally came up with in order to defend my small villa. After modification, it can fire continuously. I called it a repeating crossbow. I also asked a master to make one and showed it to Mr. Han. He said that it was a crossbow. It is extremely suitable for defending the city and should be dedicated to the imperial court to protect the safety of the people of Qi.
I felt that since it was useful, it should be owned by the emperor. When I came to Beijing this time, I brought it with me, along with the drawings, for the emperor to take a look at. "
"Oh? You, a little girl, can still come up with weapons! Eunuch Liu, come up here and let me see!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liu immediately took the mahogany box, took out the repeating crossbow, and presented it to Emperor Qingyuan.
Emperor Qingyuan also practiced riding and archery. At first glance, he saw that this thing was much more lethal than a bow and arrow, and he was immediately overjoyed.
"Haha! Well, what a Jingdexiang Lord, he is really my lucky star in Daqi!
Eunuch Liu, go and call me Ge Hongzhang, the leader of the Imperial Guard, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. They will all gather at the school grounds in two-quarters of an hour! "
Emperor Qingyuan tried it with the repeating crossbow, and then took out the blueprint and looked at it. He was extremely satisfied. He thought that if everyone in his army was equipped with a repeating crossbow, he would not be able to defeat the enemy.
If we get a few strong generals, we won't be able to unify the world!
Even if you don't go to expand the territory, defending the city is enough!
Emperor Qingyuan's face turned red with excitement. Xie Yushu was afraid that he would get overly excited, so she poured some cold water on him to cool him down.
"Back to the emperor, although this thing is excellent for defending the city, if you want to build it in large quantities, I am afraid that the demand for iron will not be available for a while. However, it is still possible to equip each border with an ace force to deter the four sides. We can still do the rest. Get it together slowly!"
Seeing how excited Emperor Qingyuan was, she was afraid that Emperor Qingyuan would directly order a mass production of repeating crossbows. When the iron was not enough, he would have to harvest wool from the people. She did not dare to underestimate an emperor's passion for unifying the world. If the officials asked the people to hand over their farm tools to use the crossbows, the people would not be able to survive!
You have to eat one bite at a time. If you take too big a step, haste makes waste, and it will still be the common people who will suffer!
Sure enough, after Xie Yushu finished speaking, Emperor Qingyuan also woke up. The output of Daqi Iron was not high, and mass production of continuous crossbows was indeed not enough!
But in the next moment, Emperor Qingyuan regained his health and became energetic again. It would be fine to equip each border with an ace army. At least he would be several years ahead of them. With this thing, Daqi would be able to surpass all other countries in terms of strength. Even Hulu, known as the prairie cavalry, can tie it.
Moreover, with the intimidation of Lian Nu, he also left ample room for development. He could send more manpower to search for iron ore and slowly expand his troops!
Thinking of this and having to mention money again, Emperor Qingyuan finally calmed down and continued with the original question.
"I think the glass you made is excellent, and I want to sell it to various places, even countries, as quickly as possible, so as to enrich the national treasury in the shortest time.
Not to mention anything else, armies in various places spend a lot of money every year. From time to time there are floods here and droughts there, and the national treasury does not have enough money!
I feel that the output of your small shabby villa is far from enough. How about I grant you a few more pieces of land and add a few more factories to do it together? "
No matter what, it's not my territory. How can the business be done easily? To the east is the Shen family, the richest man in Daqi, to the south is the Fan family, the first royal merchant, and to the west is the Zhao family, known as the little god of wealth. Go to other people's sites to make money without being swallowed up by them. It’s weird!
Even if her little shabby villa wants to develop, it still has to rely on cooperation with the Wen family!
But she thought so in her heart, but couldn't say it directly. Xie Yushu had to reply tactfully.
"The emperor's idea is naturally excellent, but I don't have many people under my command, and I'm not familiar with other places. I'm afraid I don't have that much ability. Why don't I dedicate the method of making glass to the imperial court and let the Ministry of Industry send someone to do it?" People go directly to the southeast and west to set up factories!”
Xie Yushu said this, and Emperor Qingyuan suddenly felt that his eating appearance was a bit ugly!
But for the sake of the national treasury, for the sake of his army, and for the sake of face, he has to do it or not!
So Emperor Qingyuan said shamelessly
"You understand the righteousness well, so it's okay to do this, but I won't treat you badly. If it's not the north, it will still belong to you. Moreover, I won't share the dividends with you. You can just give a part of it to Tai'an Mansion for tax deduction. , and you are still an imperial merchant!
The 30,000 taels I bought as a stock can be considered as buying your glass prescription! "
"The Emperor is wise, I obey the Emperor's arrangements!"
Xie Yushu understands the truth of biting off more than she can chew. She has a shallow foundation, and it is important to take root right now, not to expand, so it is a good deal to hand over the prescription and exchange the plate from the north!
It's enough if she can fully understand the north! After all, the richest man in Daqi doesn't dare to really spread his business all over the country, otherwise, he will be close to bankruptcy!
After the two agreed, the Ouchi leader and the Minister of Industry also arrived at the school grounds.
The emperor also went over with Lian Nu, and of course Xie Yushu also went with him.
The leader of the palace, Ge Hongzhang, and the Minister of Industry, Yu Shangshu, are both experts. At a glance, they knew that the serial crossbow held by the emperor was the king of weapons. They tried it and found that both accuracy and lethality were first-class. People tried it and congratulated Emperor Qingyuan with fists in their hands.
"I congratulate Your Majesty on obtaining this magical weapon. With this magical weapon, our Qi army will be invincible!"
