"Your Majesty is too humble. I wonder what this thing is used for, Your Majesty?"
Although this thing looks simple, it has a rigorous structure. It really takes a lot of effort to make it.
"I plan to use this material to process arrow shafts, what do you think?"
As the two walked out, Liu Deng talked about his thoughts.
"shaft?"
Cai Xin fell into deep thought. If he wanted to realize Liu Deng's idea, he needed to work hard on materials. The arrow shafts were generally made of hard wood such as pine and birch. The key parts that bear the force were The parts need to be made of copper or iron.
"Everything else is easy to talk about, but if these key gears are made of wood, they may not be able to withstand the strength and will break down over time..."
After hesitating for a moment, Cai Xin said carefully.
"The specific things will be left to you. How to implement them is your business. From today on, you will be the general of our country. This matter will be the first thing you do when you take office!"
The military crossbows Liu Deng has allocated from various places, plus the ones he got back this time, can almost meet the requirements of the new army.
However, with the crossbow, the number of arrows required for daily training has doubled.
Although Liu Qi also found a way to get a batch for Liu Deng, it was still far from enough to meet daily training and combat needs. It is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. Liu Deng still has to find a way as soon as possible to rectify the general prison.
"Your Majesty, Cai Xin is a merchant and cannot be an official by law..."
Although Cai Xin was also very moved, the king's laws were strict, so he hurriedly reminded Liu Deng.
"What's so difficult about this? I will write a letter right now and ask the Cai family to expel you from the court. Then you will become my disciple. Being my student shouldn't be an insult to you, right?"
Rules are dead, but people are alive. With an elevator like Liu Deng around, Cai Xin has no choice but to succeed in his career.
"Thank you for your promotion, your Majesty. Cai Xin will certainly live up to your Majesty's trust, even if it means your whole life is ruined, you will not hesitate!"
Cai Xin's eye circles immediately turned red. He had been suppressed since childhood, and this was the first time someone was so kind to him.
"Okay, let's get up first. It's getting late now, so let's go early and come back early!"
After being out for so long, Liu Deng really didn't know what the supervisor was like.
Liu Deng specially called Cai Xin into the carriage. As for the remaining Cai family children, they did not receive such good treatment.
They could only follow the guards on horseback, and a large group of people came to the general prison.
"See you, Your Majesty!"
After Wu Kaishan's incident, Liu Deng renamed the original weapons supervisor to general supervisor and asked the lieutenant to rectify the situation himself.
However, because of Liu Xian's matter, Liu Deng went directly to Chang'an City without having time to take a look, which also made the lieutenant breathe a long sigh of relief.
After so many days of busy work, the general supervisor finally started to look good.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant. I just emptied it out today and came here to take a look. I don't know how you are doing here!"
The previous Ordnance Supervisor was a bad debt. Officials were corrupt and had losses year after year. Everything was fucking rotten from top to bottom.
"Your Majesty, please look at this. This is the account book of the recent period. Although it is still unable to restore the old outlook, it has begun to improve. They have made up for all the previous deficits. Those who have made up for the emptiness can still stay in their original positions. Those who cannot make up for it can still stay in their original positions. Anyone with a deficit will be investigated and dealt with on the spot!"
Liu Deng did not pick up his account book, but just glanced at the lieutenant. It seemed that the lieutenant was really a protector. After such a big incident, he just made up for the shortfall.
"Lord Lieutenant, let me introduce you to someone. This person's name is Cai Xin. From today on, he will be the new general of our country. From today on, all the officials on your list will only be retained temporarily. , after three months, whether they can continue to be employed depends entirely on the will of the future master, and no one is allowed to interfere!"
Hearing what Liu Deng said, beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Wu Guoxiang's forehead. It seemed that the king was very dissatisfied with his behavior!
"My lord, I understand!"
Before Liu Deng even entered, it was as if all the officials had been dismissed from their posts. Now they were already anxious, and their hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
"These people following behind are all master craftsmen recruited by this king. From today on, these people will set up a separate institute, named the Mechanical Institute, to be responsible for manufacturing machinery!"
As he walked inside, Liu Deng gave casual instructions. He had already considered these things. What he lacks now is some skilled forging craftsmen. I wonder if any of these people in Dai Kingdom can be trained?
"promise!"
Wu Guoxiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly nodded in agreement.
The whole general prison, so many people parachuted out at once, which made all the officials feel chilled.
"I will leave all these things and people to you. I don't care what you do. I will give you ten days to rectify it. After ten days, at least give me 10,000 arrows every day. Is it possible for you to do it?"
Liu Deng did not look at the officials, but turned around and looked at Cai Xin next to him.
Cai Xin was very excited, and his eyes were starting to turn red. In this day and age, the status of businessmen is low, but today Liu Deng directly mentioned him to the position of being a great craftsman. Moreover, this can be Don't just trust him.
The entire decision-making of all the prison officials was actually handed over to him, a young man, which made him feel like crying.
"No! I am willing to issue a military order. If it fails, I am willing to raise my head to see you!"
Hearing what he said, even Wu Guoxiang felt his head hurt. After thinking about it, he just retracted the ledger in his hand.
After the reconstruction was completed, there were now only one hundred and twenty craftsmen in the general prison, and the rest were all empty wages.
This made him, the lieutenant, tremble with fear. Only then did he realize how courageous the bastard Wu Kaishan was. Fortunately, Liu Deng did not delve into his thoughts, otherwise, he would have no choice but to suffer along with him.
"Very good, here are some of my ideas. I'll leave them to you. Whether it can be done or not, you still need to find a master craftsman to try it yourself!"
After Liu Deng finished speaking, he patted Cai Xin on the shoulder, then turned around and left. He once again became the big shopkeeper. I just explained a little bit about the simplest native casting method that I learned online in my previous life.
However, with Cai Xin's own talent, Liu Deng believed that this kid should be able to surprise him.
After all, with his own talent, this kid has thought of even the most primitive shock absorption from scratch. Now that he has his own guidance, he can't even do basic casting.
