Zanwen party, you can start killing

******************************

All ten shields were placed on the city gate, and the emperor looked at them one by one.

This is not just a hole, as can be seen from the shape of the hole, the people behind it can really be shot.

The emperor's expression couldn't hide his excitement.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and the winding speed is so fast." A military general said excitedly, "Just now, this young general shot ten shots in a row, but he was panting and trembling. It's because it's easy to exert force when you step on it."

Hearing him mention the young general, the emperor turned his head to look.

Standing beside Fan Jianglin was a young man whose bow and crossbow had been removed and could not be brought before His Majesty.

"Whose family do you belong to?" asked the emperor.

Saturday Lang knelt down to salute.

"The six sons of my minister, Delang Zhou Yue, are now in the third class of Zhou Hao under Zhao Cheng's account of the Northwest Economic Strategy Department." He said loudly.

The young man is heroic and vigorous, and looks pleasing to the eye, the emperor nodded and smiled.

"Excellent archery, reward." He said, said a reward and then paused, "Jin You Shijin."

Tier [-]!

Zhou Liulang took a deep breath in his heart. He had killed enemies in the Northwest for two years, but he had only been promoted to one rank. Now, when he tried the bow and crossbow in front of the emperor, he was immediately promoted to the fourth rank!

Looking at the officials around, the military generals didn't respond. The military generals who could stand in front of the emperor were all very high-ranking. The emperor was dissatisfied with conferring titles and rewards so casually, but he also knew that he was in high spirits at this time, and there was no need to make fun of it.

Besides, it's just a military officer, if you try to be a civil servant, there will be those who dare to scold the emperor with a blushing face. "Thank you." The servant next to him quickly reminded.

Only then did Liu Lang come back to his senses and hurriedly shouted Xie En.

The emperor was not displeased with his gaffe, on the contrary, he praised him with a bit of joy.

Standing up, Saturday Lang felt a little complicated.

I ask you to do me a favor.

Do me a favor, do her a favor, and you will be promoted, who is helping whom?

He was still in a daze, and Fan Jianglin continued to speak here.

"Your Majesty, this bow and crossbow can also be verified by other people." He said.

The emperor smiled and shook his head.

"No need to try," he said, "I believe you."

Face? Was it hurt? Compared with the achievements of the Northwest, being refuted by a small woman's family is no big deal.

Little girl, she has a lot of pettiness.

Fan Jianglin knelt down and kowtowed upon hearing this.

The emperor had a smile on his face, and Gao Lingbo who was standing beside him also smiled, but this smile was a bit cold.

His eyes fell on Fan Jianglin, and then turned to the shield beside him.

"Sure enough, the weapon is about the same size as a heavy crossbow. It looks more sophisticated. Now it takes ten days for a bow and crossbow academy to make a heavy crossbow." He said, looking at Fan Jianglin with a smile on his face, "I don't know if you will use this one. how long?"

When these words came out, the stupefied Saturday Lang shivered suddenly, no good, Gao Lingbo's intentions are poisonous!

The law stipulates that folks are not allowed to hide crossbows privately, and those with five can be chopped off. If Fan Jianglin made this crossbow and kept it privately and did not report it, whether it was before entering Beijing or after entering Beijing, it would always be ten days and a half months. It's not right, although the emperor is happy now and won't think about it, but if he can't bear to be raised in the future, the emperor will definitely doubt his intentions.

He opened his mouth to grab the conversation, but it was still a step too late.

"This bow was made in a rough way, and Xiaomin rushed to work day and night. It took a full six days." Fan Jianglin said, with a bit of shame.

But my sister only took three days.

This is impossible!Gao Lingbo almost blurted out, but he clenched his teeth firmly to stop it.

And the other officials beside him have already shouted out loudly.

This is impossible!

The emperor, on the other hand, took a step forward excitedly.

"Six days?" he asked, "Really?"

Fan Jianglin nodded.

"Young people don't lie to His Majesty," he said.

"Are you alone?" the emperor asked again, his breathing a little short.

Fan Jianglin nodded again.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Hurry up, let the Bow and Crossbow Academy build it, call and deploy everyone, all craftsmen, and make a hundred within ten days! Send it to the northwest. Send it to the northwest! Somebody wants to give them a copy for your majesty." Great gift!" The general beside the emperor shouted a little frantically.

No censor came out to scold the general for his disrespect, because they were all stunned by these words.

It's impossible, it's impossible.

"Also, Your Majesty, Xiaomin's crossbow uses wooden feather arrows." Fan Jianglin added.

The shouting stopped suddenly.

and also……

The emperor felt that his breathing stopped for a moment.

"You don't need Lingyu..." he trembled.

"Yes, it's fine to use wood chips. Also, the crossbow body and arms don't use beef tendons or horns. Mountain wood is fine, plus hemp rope..."

and…..

Fan Jianglin's voice was still talking, but the emperor's ears seemed to be getting closer and further away.

The powerful lethality is surprising.But that's not the most surprising thing.

The key to heavy weapons is money.

Armament is the most expensive, and who doesn't want strong soldiers and sharp weapons.But as for the money, it’s not too much to throw in tens of thousands of dollars. The key is that the national treasury is really poor. There are so many abandoned houses in the palace that cannot be repaired. The emperor has already saved enough, but he still feels poor.

This is why there are always ministers who accuse belligerence of harming the country.

Now this problem is solved, this crossbow is not only a hundred times more lethal than a heavy crossbow.The cost is less than half of the heavy crossbow!

Looking out of the corner of the emperor's eyes, he saw a few courtiers who were frowning as if they had something to say, retracting their feet.

They obviously also know that they can't attack and refute in terms of cost.

What Fan Jianglin said was so good, one sentence saved him from tug-of-war with the ministers in court.

what does that mean?It means that it is not impossible for the whole army to be equipped with this kind of crossbow!

The whole army!The whole army!

"...wetting water does not absorb water... it's just that it wears out faster than lifting a heavy crossbow..."

Fan Jianglin's voice continued.The emperor's hands were shaking.

"Come on, come on, go and calculate for me, calculate, the whole army is equipped with...equipment..." He shouted, and in the middle of shouting, he remembered that he didn't know the name of this crossbow, and looked at Fan Jianglin, "What's its name?"

Fan Jianglin kowtowed again.

"Xiaomin hasn't given a name yet, please Your Majesty give it a name." He said.

The emperor looked down the city gate.The crossbow has been put away.

"Shen Bow...God...God Arm Bow...it's called God Arm Bow." He thought for a moment and said.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for getting this fetish." Gao Lingbo was the first to shout.

Although he hated to death in his heart, he was not confused when to say something.

Immediately, the people around knelt down and shouted, the people above the city gate shouted out, and the people below the city gate immediately followed suit, and the mountain shouts surged like waves.

The emperor couldn't help laughing again.

Okay, okay, this birthday is really a good one!

After accepting the congratulations from the people.The emperor turned around and drove back to the palace, and a group of ministers, relatives and relatives all followed to the banquet in the palace, including Fan Jianglin and Liu Liulang were also invited in.

"Fan Jianglin, I want to reward you, what do you want?" said the emperor, sitting on the dragon chair.The excitement has not yet dissipated, and there is a rare blush on his usually pale face.

Fan Jianglin kowtowed.

"Xiaomin just wants to kill the enemy and serve the country. Now that he is disabled and can't pull a bow and arrow, so Xiaomin wants to make bows and arrows so that others can kill the enemy. This can be regarded as Xiaomin's wish fulfilled." He said.

The emperor nodded with relief.

"I will make you the head of the Fangdu Army of the Yuqian Domain, and I will sentence you to be the military supervisor of the Gongnu Academy." He said. 【Note 1】

As soon as the words came out, there was a gasp in the hall.

If it is said that the promotion of Liu Liulang at the city gate just now is not slow, then compared with this time, even the military officers present are a little less calm.

"Your Majesty, should we discuss it with Zhongshu?" An official stood up and said.

The emperor's face darkened.

"Have you agreed on the Northwest War?" He asked without answering.

The court official was choked and had to retreat.

Anyway, although the official title is high.But in fact, he just went to the bow and crossbow academy to supervise the making of bows and crossbows, that's all, he was just a craftsman.

Thousands of dollars buy bones.Encouraging more people to offer ideas and offerings for the great benefit of the country has been used since ancient times, and it is also a normal thing to say in the past.

Fan Jianglin kowtowed to thank him.

"The one who made the horseshoe is also your brother?" the emperor asked what came to his mind.

Fan Jianglin responded yes.

"At that time, my sister sent the seven of us to the battlefield, and said that I would give a skill according to each of us's strengths and preferences. The fourth brother is good at raising horses, so my sister taught me the skill of horseshoes. Now that I am disabled, my sister gave it to me. Another skill to kill the enemy," he said.

As soon as this remark came out, the emperor's face changed immediately, and the faces of the people in the hall changed as well.

Jiang Wenyuan is finished.

Gao Lingbo closed his eyes slightly, only feeling a little dizzy.

From the lethality of the bow and crossbow to the fact that it is easy to manufacture and does not cost money, one knife after another was thrown out, until the last one was also the sharpest one that pierced the emperor's heart.

The seven brothers each gave a skill according to their own proficiency and preferences. Two of them have already chosen their own killing skills, and both of them can be called military weapons. If the remaining five are good at what they like and what they like What amazing skills to get?

No one knows anymore, because those five people are dead, they have no good skills and will no longer express their preferences....

Wrong country.

This is the wrong country.

As long as you think of this, you will think of these five people. When you think of these five people, you will think of their death. When you think of their death, the emperor will think of this incident.

With the accumulation of thoughts day by day, Jiang Wenyuan not only can't stay in the northwest, but he can't even think about being in the emperor's heart for the rest of his life.

Okay, okay, what a ruthless Jiangzhou fool!

Human calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations, but I didn't expect that there would be people who simply overwhelmed the calculations of heaven.

"Master, sir."

At this time, in the Chen family, Chen Shao, who was sitting in the courtyard playing chess and having tea with his father, was interrupted by the young boy.

The boy doesn't know what happened in the palace, but everyone can see what happened in front of the city gate, so the boy talked happily.

Chen Shao was very surprised when he heard that, he swung the boy back, and old master Chen dropped the chess piece in his hand.

"Jiang Wenyuan is finished." He said, looking at Chen Shao with a meaningful smile, "It turns out that she is really helping you."

Chen Shao nodded, his expression was still a little surprised, a little stunned, and a little sad.

"It turned out that she wanted me to urge the emperor to award the reward, in order to thank the emperor and offer a gift." He said slowly, "Because of offering this gift, the clouds and rains have turned upside down."

Divine Arm Bow!

What a killer!

"What to worry about, what to worry about, so what angering the emperor, so what if fame is tabooed and loathed by the emperor, it turns out that this is not what she relies on at all." He shook his head and sighed, "It turns out that what she relies on is strength, it's true. What people can't refuse is not the illusory strength of the fairy art."

With a mediocre status and no family support, the established prestige is like a castle in the air, but what if this prestige is solid and nationally beneficial?

"I can't see through, I can't see through." Chen Shao murmured.

Before the words fell, I heard another voice outside the door, "Master, Master".

"Husband, congratulations, master, congratulations, master." Two young servants ran in and kowtowed.

Congratulations? It is appropriate for the emperor to say congratulations at this time, but what gratification is there for Chen Shao who has resigned from the throne at home?

"My lord, the eighteenth lady's book was highly praised by the emperor, and she was sealed to write the book to the royal family. Please grant the book to the eldest prince." The little servant kowtowed and shouted.

what?

Chen Shao stood up in surprise, even Old Master Chen couldn't hide his surprise.

At the banquet in the palace, Chen Shibaniang was bowing her head to thank her, and turned around under the envy of countless eyes, holding the imperial edict bestowed by the emperor in her hand.

Although I have dreamed about it many times, but the moment when it becomes real, the feeling and mood can never be dreamed in a dream.

Chen Shibaniang walked down slowly, she didn't know if her expression was still the same, but her eyes were a little twinkling and she couldn't see the way clearly, but she raised her head and walked steadily.

"Today is the happiest day for me. This is the birthday gift I received the most and the biggest."

The emperor on the throne smiled and raised his wine glass.

All of a sudden, the hall was full of shouts of long live, the palace music sang together, dancers danced gracefully, ribbons and cloud dresses fluttered, as if in a fairyland on earth.

The remote Qing Palace was completely quiet, and the excitement over there could not be heard at all.

King Jin'an and King Qing also set up a banquet.Because King Qing was stupid, he rarely brought it to people, let alone embarrassing the emperor on such occasions.

"Come on, try this." King Jin'an said, feeding King Qing a mouthful of tea soup.

King Qing was really happy to eat the mutton with one hand, but he avoided it unhappy.

"Be careful of choking." Jin'an County King patiently persuaded, and finally fed half of it, and then looked at the servant standing in front of him, "So, there are three people who have received rewards? It seems that Your Majesty's birthday is really good. .”

The waiter smiled and nodded yes.

King Jin'an smiled slightly.

"Just be happy," he said.

The servant bowed his head and retreated out, glanced at the young man who was reclining in the room, holding a golden cup and drinking slowly, and closed the door.

At this time, passers-by on the main road outside the capital couldn't help but look curiously at a new tomb in the wasteland not far away. There stood a girl with a basket, and a woman in a cloak was sitting on the ground.

The autumn is breezy, and the sun shines through the mottled branches and leaves on this woman, blurring her description.

Cheng Jiaoniang stretched out her hand to support a tombstone, there were chisels and other tombstone carving tools scattered around her feet, after a while, she picked up the chisel and hammer from it, and began to beat slowly on the tombstone.

"Fan Stone."

"Xu Maoxiu"

"Xu Layue"

"Fan San Chou"

"Xu Bangchui"

My sister is here to put up a monument for you.

The new tomb, the ancient locust tree, the standing maidservant, and the charming lady sitting on the ground constitute a picture of walking in the wild, which stunned the few scholars passing by the road.

"It's a pity, such a beauty, but holding a hammer and chisel, if it is replaced by a fiddle, it will be perfect." One murmured.

In short, the rewards were so generous that the official position was not small. The ancient imperial courts were eager to seek talents for these magical and new technologies. (To be continued.
