After talking with Huang Tian for a while, Qin Li came out of Huang Tian's house.

A round of crescent moon hung obliquely in the sky, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the breeze gently blew Qin Li's clothes, Qin Li walked excitedly all the way towards the county school.

Entering the gate of the county school, Zheng Ba, the big man guarding the door, had not yet slept. Seeing that it was Qin Li coming back, he hurriedly trotted out of the gatehouse, hunched his waist, and said with a groveling villain posture, "Lord Qin, you are finally back, Xiao is finally relieved." Mrs. Qin has turned around at the gate several times, Lord Qin! The little one drank wine today, and there are no beads in the eyes, can you see the little one in general! ”

Zheng Ba changed his previous contempt and arrogance towards Qin Li, and respected Qin Li like a pug.

It is said that Zheng Ba was originally a splash in the countryside, and relying on the relationship of his cousin and uncle Zheng Yunlin in the county, he got a job as a janitor in the county school. It is precisely because his cousin is a magistrate that this kid is a powerful man, and he usually flies and dominates, and he doesn't look at anyone in his eyes.

was beaten by Lin Yan'er today, Zheng Ba held a grudge and hurriedly went to his cousin Zheng Yunlin to complain. Unexpectedly, Zheng Yunlin scolded him a lot, and told him that he must be a good errand in the future, and at the same time told him that Qin Li was not so easy to mess with, and asked him to listen to Qin Li honestly.

Zheng Bawan didn't expect to be beaten by his cousin. Seeing that his cousin Zheng Yunlin couldn't count on it, this Zheng Ba picked up his tail in front of Qin Li and became honest.

In fact, where did Zheng Ba know Zheng Yunlin's thoughts. Zheng Yunlin heard that Zheng Ba was beaten in the county school, and his heart was already very angry. Although Zheng Ba is no longer his closest relative, Zheng Yunlin thinks that this is Qin Li giving him a horse. As the saying goes, it depends on the master to beat the dog. Qin Li didn't even give him face, Zheng Yunlin thought, let's wait and see in the future, we must find a way to let Qin Li plant in Jiangdu County.

Zheng Yunlin knows Zheng Ba's temperament very well, Zheng Ba is just an ignorant and reckless man, without any scheming, and he can't fight Qin Li. If it fuels his arrogance, he will be beaten again and again in the future. Zheng Ba was beaten, and it was he Zheng Yunlin who was ashamed. Therefore, the best way at this time is to suppress Zheng Ba and show weakness in front of Qin Li.

Qin Li patted Zheng Ba's shoulder with a serious face and said, "Hehe! As long as you work hard, I Qin Li will never treat you badly in the future. But if you always want to bully others and be naughty, I, Qin Li, will not rub sand in my eyes, and I will never spare you! ”

"Yes! Be! The lesson of adults is that in the future, only adults will be the first to look at the small ones. ”

Qin Li ignored him anymore and kept entering the courtyard. Zheng Baha's waist and the three grandsons were sent away from afar.

As Zheng Ba said, Lin Yan'er was dressed as a little woman, and she was standing at the door looking forward to it. As soon as he saw Qin Li coming back, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said happily, "Xianggong is back, concubine ......."

Just as she was about to continue, Qin Li looked at her with a cold face, and immediately changed his words, "I...... I'm so worried! ”

With the clear moonlight, Qin Li could see that Lin Yan'er had already had a pretty face crimson at this time, and she was infinitely shy. A pair of eyes as clear as a stream of water have also been filled with tears.

A warmth hit his heart, Qin Li grinned, and said, "You are my wife, you are my husband and I are running around, you don't worry about me, who worries about me?" Hee-hee! ”

"Phew! You are so beautiful, the husband went to eat and drink, leaving a concubine...... I'm alone, huh! Lin Yan'er had already smelled the faint smell of wine emanating from Qin Li's body, her little face was slightly angry, and she feigned anger.

Lin Yan'er's small appearance was even more amusing Qin Li's heart, but he knew that Lin Yan'er must not have eaten yet, so he hurriedly stepped forward and took Lin Yan'er's little hand, and said distressedly, "My good Yan'er, you are not allowed to wait for Xianggong when you come to dinner in the future, Xianggong is still looking forward to you having a good body!" ”

Although it was a joke, the concern was beyond words, and out of sincerity, Lin Yan'er was very moved in her heart.

Lin Yan'er went to eat alone, and Qin Li called Liu Feng with a loud voice.

Although Liu Feng was still young, he was also very worried about Qin Li's delayed return. After Liu Feng had dinner, Lin Yan'er couldn't bear to let a child accompany her and wait for Qin Li, so she let him go to sleep. Although Liu Feng was very reluctant, Lin Yan'er didn't dare not listen to her words, so she had to go back to the house in a huff.

Liu Feng is famously Qin Li's scholar, and Qin Li actually treats him like a younger brother, and he sleeps in the next room. Because Qin Li didn't study, he didn't have anything to do as a scholar.

is an active and fun age, but Liu Feng has lived with his sister Liu Jiao since he was a child, and was born in a poor family, and he seems to be very different from other children.

The children of the poor are in charge of the house early, and Liu Feng is not only very sensible, but also loves to read. Of the books Qin Li bought, Qin Li hadn't read a single one, but Liu Feng looked like he was overjoyed.

As Qin Li's scholar, Liu Feng had long wanted to do something for Qin Li. often talked to Qin Li intentionally or unintentionally, and didn't want to eat idle meals in vain.

Liu Feng could have such thoughts, Qin Li was naturally even more happy, but every time he heard Liu Feng say such a thing, Qin Li laughed at it.

At this time, Liu Feng was holding "Spring and Autumn" and reading it carefully word by word, and he didn't hear Qin Li's voice coming back at all. It wasn't until Qin Li's loud voice called that he was excited, hurriedly got off the couch, and trotted into Qin Li's room.

"Brother Qin, you're back, call me something?" Liu Feng asked cautiously.

"Yes! Yanmo, today your eldest brother is going to use you, a scholar, to see how you are doing? Qin Li barely stiffened his face and said with a serious face.

"Okay!" Liu Feng was very happy in his heart, he finally had something to do, and he said that his scholar would come in handy. He hurried to the table, stretched out his hand, and gently picked up the ink.

While studying the ink, he secretly looked at Qin Li's face, and muttered in his heart. Brother Qin has never read, and he has never seen him write, can he really write? Isn't his status as a man given by the emperor in vain?

Liu Feng is cautious and careful, but very neat. Quickly studied the ink for Qin Li. Qin Li held the brush in his hand, pondered slightly, dipped himself in pen and ink, and began to draw on a thick piece of rice paper.

After all, Qin Li has been with Tang Bohu for half a year, although he has no interest in calligraphy and painting, but the things he paints are also similar and realistic.

Qin Li drew the figure of a spring repeater in later generations.

Today in Huang Tian's house, Qin Li saw the bow and arrow used by Huang Zhong. The bow and arrow were actually just ordinary bows and arrows, but they were heavier. In this Ming era, bows and arrows like that were still in use, but the technique of making bows was obviously much improved. However, the spring repeater did not appear in Daming at this time.

In later generations, Qin Li had seen a spring repeater. On the way out of Huang Tian's house and back to the county school, Qin Li had been pondering the spring repeater. Relying on the remaining memories, Qin Li finally figured out the structure of the repeater. Yes, I drew it in a hurry.

The spring-loaded repeater uses a spring instead of a crossbow as a power source, which is placed in a slit sleeve. Small in size and stronger in strength, the sleeve can be constructed with metal such as iron, and can also be replaced by a thick bamboo tube. It replaces the wire string with a knife string and is more durable. It is equipped with a cartridge type hidden arrow box, and a box cover with a spring sheet is set on it, which gently presses the arrow and pushes the arrow into the road to realize automatic loading of arrows.

The spring-loaded repeater can be fired continuously in all directions. The labor-saving hinge is used to wind, and the hinge is equipped with a hook string and an excitation device, and the winding is excited in one go, and the arrow speed is very fast.

Obviously, the spring repeater is much stronger than a normal bow and arrow in terms of range and rate of fire. It is much lighter and more practical than the "Yuanrong crossbow" invented by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms.

The drawing of the spring repeater was of course to be given to Emperor Zhengde. Qin Li knew Emperor Zhengde very well, this emperor not only liked to have fun, but also liked to fight on the battlefield, and loved swords. Qin Li thought to himself that the spring repeater would definitely be liked by Emperor Zhengde.

The reason why the figure of the spring crossbow was given to Zhengde was made by Emperor Zhengde. Of course, in order to please Zhengde, I asked for silver from Zhengde.

The prefectural school needs to be repaired and rebuilt. I couldn't get any silver from Zheng Yunlin, the magistrate. Asked for it from Jiang Yao, the prefect of Yangzhou, Qin Li didn't even think about it, just based on Jiang Yao's opinion of him, he was always waiting to see Qin Li's jokes? If he gave Qin Li silver, wouldn't it be a fantasy?

If you go to the province, it is naturally even more impossible. You must know that Qin Li is just a small county school teacher, and the second-grade master in the province can take care of him?

There was no way, Qin Li finally thought of Emperor Zhengde. Qin Li knew that Zhengde liked his novel gameplay very much, and this time he made a spring crossbow, maybe Emperor Zhengde was happy, and really allocated some silver from the treasury to himself.

After drawing the figure of the spring repeater, Qin Li wrote in detail the composition of each part of the repeater and the materials required for its production. It has been seven or eight months since he traveled to Daming, and he is very clear about what materials appeared in Daming at this time. The materials needed for the repeater were not available at this time, so Qin Li replaced them with the relevant materials that had appeared now.

Liu Feng on the side silently watched Qin Li draw such a novel bow and arrow, and looked at Qin Li with surprise and envy. I thought in my heart, this old man in my family is really worthy of his name, what a great capable person, no wonder only he can invent mahjong.

Afterwards, Qin Li pondered a little and wrote a long letter carefully.

Naturally, the letter first greatly complimented Emperor Zhengde, and then said that he missed the emperor very much and couldn't sleep almost every night. Then he talked about the spring repeater.

Of course, Qin Li naturally would not forget Zhengde's favorite concubine Liu Niangniang, and said a lot of words wishing Liu Niangniang a long and healthy life and an eternal appearance. Anyway, it was all flattering and flattering, so that Liu Feng on the side couldn't help but get goosebumps when he saw it.

In the end, Qin Li said that he had encountered some difficulties in studying in Jiangdu County, and hoped that the emperor could allocate him some silver.

Qin Li had already estimated that the reconstruction of the county school and the related costs in the future would cost about 70,000 taels of silver.

Asking the emperor for money, naturally he had to be a little more generous, and Qin Li said that he wanted 100,000 taels of silver......

Qin Li and Liu Feng were busy until late at night.

The next day, Qin Li hurriedly found Huang Tian early in the morning, asked Huang Tian to hurry to Nanjing with the letter, and handed the letter to Bi Yun, who then forwarded it to Emperor Zhengde. Last night, Qin Li learned that Huang Tian's bow horse was skillful, and he was just right to use it at this time.

Qin Li arranged an errand, Huang Tian was very pleased, anyway, he didn't have anything to do in Jiangdu County, he didn't even ask Zheng Yunlin, the magistrate, for leave, so he immediately set off for Nanjing.

Huang Tian left, and Qin Li's heart was also raised. Qin Li thought that Jiang Bin was a courtier by the emperor's side, and he had long hated him, and he couldn't wait to kill him as soon as possible. If this letter is not seen by Jiang Bin, it is easy to say, but if Jiang Bin is allowed to see it, the matter of asking for silver will be in vain.
