Chapter 86: People are afraid of becoming famous Liu Dazhuang
After the business is over, there is no need to fight, a group of large and small nobles gather together to naturally drink and have fun, Shen Aojun clapped his hands The musician who had been prepared for a long time walked in, and the soldiers hurriedly removed the tea on the table and replaced it with wine and meat. These are all prepared by Shen Aojun first, he stood up with a wine glass and said: "Today I wanted to take a few cups for General Wang, but now that the war is over, then let's drink happily, this first cup of wine I will respect the general on behalf of the family and the people in the south, thank the general for ignoring his own safety and personally leading the army thousands of miles to help, I will do it first as a respect."
After speaking, Shen Aojun took the wine glass and drank it all, and the people in the south also looked at Wang Peng with the wine glass.
"Hahaha, okay, I'm done" Wang Pengdao picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, and drank the wine in his hand with everyone.
Seeing Wang Pengdao giving face like this, Shen Aojun was in a very good mood and said to everyone: "Let's have fun, everyone!" ”
Many of the nobles in the south are from the south, they are very familiar with each other, everyone has their own small circle, a few people get together to drink and chat, take this opportunity to vent the depression in their hearts these days, the whole handsome is not lively, only Liu Lei doesn't know anyone, sitting alone in the corner, but Liu Lei doesn't care at all, on the contrary, he is also happy to stop, in Qingfeng Town, these days the food is not good, and finally can beat his teeth and sacrifice the big fish and big meat to put his greedy eyes into the green light, without saying a word, just open the hug!
On the main seat, Shen Aojun, Wang Pengdao and several generals got together at some point, muttering something in a low voice, Shen Aojun said for a while and pointed to Liu Lei, several people looked up, and saw Liu Lei with his head down, holding a chicken leg in his left hand and chicken wings in his right hand, and his mouth was full of oil.
Wang Pengdao smiled and said, "Young people have a good appetite!" The people around him didn't take it seriously, and continued to listen to Shen Aojun's narration, Shen Aojun said something exciting after a while, and pointed at Liu Lei again, and several people subconsciously looked over again, only to see that this time Liu Lei was holding a big pig's trotter and gnawing on Zhenghuan.
"Ahem, young people have such a good appetite," Wang Peng said.
A group of people around me didn't know what to say, so they could only laugh awkwardly!
Everyone talked for a while, and then raised their heads at the same time with a very tacit understanding, Liu Lei was holding the plate with one hand, and pulling it inside his mouth with chopsticks with the other hand.
"I'm rubbing! Young people's appetites are really good" Wang Pengdao couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, the people around him didn't know what to say for a long time, and Liu Tianyu's face was even more pale.
"Go, call Liu Lei over to me," Wang Pengdao covered his forehead and ordered depressedly to the soldiers who were waiting on the side.
Liu Lei solved a plate of dishes and burped with satisfaction, just in time to see the soldiers coming towards him, he glanced at the few people who were watching him on the main seat, and frowned slightly.
"Young Master Liu, the general is invited," the soldier said respectfully.
Liu Lei hurriedly replied that he should wipe off the oil flowers in his mouth with his hand, and sighed quietly: "Alas! People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong! ”
The pro-soldier pretended not to hear, and brought Liu Lei to the main seat and said, "General, Liu Dazhuang...... Forehead...... No...... Young Master Liu is here."
Wang Pengdao beckoned to Liu Lei: "Come, come and sit down and talk"
Liu Lei lowered his head and sat on the chair handed over by his own soldiers next to him.
"Ha, don't be nervous, I'm an old friend with your father, I just called you over to hear you talk about the specific situation of defending the city this time"
Liu Lei nodded hurriedly, and explained in detail the previous guesses of himself and others and the process of defending the city, Wang Pengdao These people are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they can be distinguished from the real and the false, of course, there are some things that are deliberately ignored.
"Well, yes, it's said that since ancient times, heroes have been young people, thoughtful, and surprisingly winning, which is good," Wang Pengdao praised.
"yes, it's not easy."
"Young and promising!"
The people next to him also echoed, although Liu Tianyu didn't say anything on the side, his face softened a lot, and Liu Lei didn't get carried away when he heard these words, and he didn't even dare to say it.
Wang Pengdao smiled and said: "It's a good thing for young people to be modest, by the way, I heard that you used a new weapon when defending the city this time, which can quickly fire arrows, and the lethality is very great in close combat?" ”
Liu Lei's heart moved, came, and finally got to the point, of course these generals with heavy troops would not talk to him, even if he had just made a great contribution, these people must know about the Zhuge Repeater, these battle-hardened veterans have a very unique vision, as soon as they heard about the Zhuge Repeater, they knew the value of this thing on the battlefield, and the purpose of calling him here was naturally self-evident.
Liu Lei didn't intend to hide it at first, after all, almost everyone in Qingfeng Town knew about it, and judging from the post-war statistics, the army of the Storm City State was likely to have obtained the Zhuge Repeater, and it was not difficult for this thing to understand the principle at all, so Liu Lei didn't need to hide it at all, and he couldn't hide it.
"That's right, General Wang's weapon is called the Zhuge Repeater, I bought it from an explorer, the design is very ingenious, it can be loaded with ten arrows at a time, and it can be quickly fired by continuously pulling the plate, and it can shoot through the iron armor in close combat, but the range is limited and can only shoot thirty steps" Liu Lei said, of course, what he said was just an imitation made by a blacksmith, not a system that made the top one that can shoot twenty arrows in a row, with a range of seventy steps, so even if they are given good things, they can't be made. The industrial technology of this world could not even make the simplest steel bowstrings and springs in it, so they could only be replaced by animal tendons, and thirty steps was already the limit.
When everyone heard that Zhuge repeater could only shoot thirty steps, they couldn't help but feel a little sorry, it seems that this kind of repeater can only be used in close combat.
"Is it easy to make?" Wang Pengdao didn't care how Liu Lei got it, and directly asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
Liu Lei nodded: "Only if you understand the mechanism, it's very simple"
Call......
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that such a powerful weapon would be too cumbersome to make, which would mean that the cost would be high and it would not be possible to distribute it to the troops on a large scale.
After getting Liu Lei's answer, Wang Pengdao rubbed his hands and asked, "Xiao Lei, that one crossbow may be handed over to the City Lord's Mansion?" After saying that, I was still a little embarrassed, maybe I felt embarrassed to ask for children's things.
Liu Lei pretended to hesitate when he heard this, and Wang Pengdao hurriedly said when he saw this: "Eh...... You can rest assured, the City Lord's Mansion will not be in vain, how much money did you spend when you bought it at that time, ten times that for you, and you have also experienced this war, if our soldiers can have these weapons, how many fewer people can die, with this kind of weapon, maybe next time we will be able to defeat the Storm City-State, and then you will also be a great achievement" Wang Pengdao said to Liu Lei.
In Liu Lei's afterglow, Liu Tianyu also nodded at Liu Lei, signaling Liu Lei to agree, and the people next to him also looked at Liu Lei with an encouraging face, of course everyone wants such a good weapon, but the City Lord's Mansion has come forward, who can still eat alone, and the City Lord's Mansion can still drink some soup when everyone gets it.
Liu Lei didn't speak, pretended to lower his head and think, and after a while, he said as if he had made a big decision: "General Wang, I can hand over the production method of the Zhuge Repeater to the City Lord's Mansion, but I have a request in addition to ten times the compensation." ”
Wang Pengdao's face sank, and Liu Tianyu also shook his head lightly.
"And what do you want?" Wang Pengdao tried his best to maintain a caring look and said to Liu Lei.
"Lord Hui, my requirements are not high, after all, the weapon is still for our soldiers, when I bought this thing, I used 100 gold coins ten times that is 1000 gold coins, I don't want this money, I just want five percent of the profit from the sale of Zhuge Repeater" Liu Lei replied.
Listening to Liu Lei's words, Wang Pengdao's face suddenly changed, and he stared at Liu Lei for a while, and everyone else also knew the expression, at this moment, everyone really regarded Liu Lei as an adult, because Liu Lei's request was really scheming.
It seems that you don't want to lose a thousand gold coins, but everyone knows that in the future, in addition to the Zhuge crossbow produced by the city lord's mansion, this weapon will inevitably sell very well, in addition to selling to the lords inside the city-state, and even to other city-states, since ancient times, weapon dealers have been profiteering, and five percent of the profit may be a huge amount of money in the future, far more than 1000 gold coins.
Liu Lei has such a far-sighted vision, naturally he can't underestimate it, including Liu Tianyu, who feels that he doesn't know one of his sons.
"Five percent is not good, Xiao Lei, you also know that the production of repeaters will definitely require raw materials at that time, and you just provide technology, and I will give you three percent at most?"
Only technology? If you don't have the technology, you make a fart, Liu Lei scolded in his heart.
"Okay, yes, I'll send you the method and data for making the repeater when I go back tonight."
Wang Pengdao nodded, and Liu Lei retired.
"This little guy is not simple."
Looking at Liu Lei's back, a general involuntarily whispered.
The others nodded subconsciously when they heard this, at this time, whoever is treating Liu Lei as a child is a fool, Liu Tianyu looked at Liu Lei's figure with a complicated face, this smart and witty young man is not the same as the stupid son in his memory.
