Chapter 204: Making a Musket

"The king may have been too tired lately, and the dreams are all reversed, don't take it seriously!" Zhang Xiaowu sat under Chao Gai and raised his head and said softly: "By the way, last time I said that I wanted to make weapons, I think it started recently, how about the blacksmith I am looking for and the artist?" How many people have been found? ”

Chao Gai was a little embarrassed and said: "Brother, I was about to tell you about this, I found a few more blacksmiths for you, there are more than a dozen artists, but it is still far from enough people from what you said, these are already all the craftsmen in our cottage." ”

"Alright! I will go back and draw the drawings in a moment, and in the afternoon the king will have them all come to my house and wait for me. Zhang Xiaowu stood up and said, "Leave the rest to me!" “

"That's great!" Chao Gai's face was overjoyed, when Zhang Xiaowu told him about it before, he had always been a little uneasy, afraid that the weapon Zhang Xiaowu said was too exaggerated, and he really had never seen a weapon that could raise his hand to kill people within 100 meters.

Even if they have their own archers, it takes time to change bows and arrows, and often this time will give the enemy a chance to breathe, and once they are close, then those archers can be dangerous.

After leaving the front hall, Zhang Xiaowu said without looking back: "I know you are here, come out!" “

"Huh?" Wang Zhen, who was not far away, was stunned for a moment, his concealment skills were first-class, Zhang Xiaowu could actually feel that he was there?

Zhang Xiaowu turned around and said, "Brother Wang, don't hide it, it just so happens that I have something to look for you." “

"How did you know I was here?" Wang Zhen showed his figure from the corner, his eyes were puzzled, this time when he saw Zhang Xiaowu, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be different, the previous Zhang Xiaowu was not too threatening in Wang Zhen's eyes, if it was replaced by Zhang Xiaowu's previous body, he might still be afraid of three points, but when he recognized Zhang Xiaowu, he felt that he was weak and pitiful.

At the beginning, Wang Zhen secretly laughed at himself, Zhang Xiaowu should be the weakest traverser.

In fact, he doesn't know how many people have experienced the crossing, but Zhang Xiaowu is pitiful, which is also an indisputable fact.....

But when facing Zhang Xiaowu today, he actually felt a strong threat in Zhang Xiaowu's body!

His intuition told him that the person in front of him was dangerous.

But how is this possible?

"I'm guessing." Zhang Xiaowu said casually, he also just felt that since his identity had changed, not only did his body surpass his former body, but even his sense of hearing and smell had been greatly improved.

Not only him, but even Murong Xue is becoming more and more beautiful, but Zhang Xiaowu still doesn't know if she has other changes, and he hasn't had time to ask about these yet.

Wang Zhen opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but was directly interrupted by Zhang Xiaowu: "Don't think about it so much, I have something serious to look for you, and this afternoon I am going to draw a drawing and let them start building a musket." ”

"Hehe, do you know how much trouble you will get by doing this? At this time in the Northern Song Dynasty, there were no arms. Wang Zhen said with a serious face: "You are messing around here, of course, everyone can take care of you, but if you do this, the entire history will be completely tampered with by you, are you sure you can do it?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu hesitated for a moment: "I have to do this, because only in this way can I be able to gain a firm foothold here, I don't want to go back to modern times, so what do I have to do, I will take care of me, you just need to tell me if I am willing to help." ”

"Well, I'll tell you what I should have told you, and since you don't want to listen, I can't help it." Wang Zhen stretched his waist and let out a crackling sound all over his body: "Say, how do you need me to help you?" ”

In the afternoon, Zhang Xiaowu and Wang Zhen were both in the room, and they didn't even step out of the door, and it wasn't until the afternoon when the sun was about to set that Zhang Xiaowu pushed the door out with a few drawings.

All the blacksmiths and artists had gathered outside the door, and a group of people were sitting lazily in front of Zhang Xiaowu's door, and when they saw Zhang Xiaowu coming out, they hurriedly got up and said, "The second master..."

"Well, I'll just wait!" Zhang Xiaowu smiled gently at everyone and said, "Next, a blacksmith came forward with two artists. ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they still quickly divided the team, and of course, there were some extra artists who were not followed, and they stood aside unwillingly.

Zhang Xiaowu took a look at it, a total of sixteen blacksmiths and more than 40 artists, which is enough for the time being, but once it is to be mass-produced, the number of people is far from enough.

Separated the drawings in his hand and sent them down one by one, Zhang Xiaowu said with a serious face: "This is the secret of our cottage, each of you has a different task, you are not allowed to ask each other about the items you build in private, you only need to create what I requested, if someone creates or copies the drawings without authorization, then don't blame me for being ruthless, do you understand?!" ”

"Understood!" Everyone said in unison.

They just do their job, and they don't have much interest in knowing what they're doing for it.

One of the blacksmiths stepped forward and asked, "Second master, if we want to build these things, it should be fine, but I don't understand, aren't we going to fight?" Shouldn't we make something like a sword? And these things want to be made, but they are a waste of materials. ”

They have been blacksmiths for many years, this little thing looks simple, but when it is actually built, it is more wasteful of materials than swords, and their Liangshan weapons have always been relatively scarce, and there are materials to create these things, which is enough for them to build more swords for the use of copycat people, wouldn't it be better?

"This matter was decided between me and the Heavenly King, and the other leaders did not have any opinions, so I hope you don't ask too much, just complete the work seriously, I promise that you will be proud of today's decision in the future."

Zhang Xiaowu didn't say these words to make them happy, if they could really create these things, then they would be the first batch of people in the Northern Song Dynasty who could make muskets.

Seeing that those blacksmiths still wanted to ask something, Wang Zhen said impatiently: "If any of you are talking nonsense, I will kill him directly!" ”

The blacksmiths immediately closed their mouths in amusement, and one of the blacksmiths said to the others: "The second master will let us do it, we will do it, don't ask, I think when the second master wants us to know, he will definitely let us know." ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, what's your name?" ”
