"Back to General Song, I determined that Solo would lose based on the comparison between the challenge tournament and the jousting tournament. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhuang Zhifu trembled, his eyes rolled a few times, and he replied tremblingly, "In the top 16 of the martial arts competition, there were two people, Zhan Nian and Longduo, and the others were all family members of the Ming Zhu Firm. Everyone knows that the Ming Zhu firm is the best martial arts for all the families. Just like Mao Yong, he easily defeated Zang Long, the general of the patriotic country. Hua Meng effortlessly captured Nangong Chui, the general of Chen State. And Solo is just a former junior general, he was demoted to a small soldier last time because of a brawl, and this time he escaped from the team without permission, which shows that he is an unmotivated person. Then his martial arts should not be too high. Zhan Nian and Rondo were able to stand out and enter the top 16 in a competition in which more than 100 family members participated, which shows that the martial arts of the two are really not low. Based on my analysis of these circumstances, I have come to the conclusion that one of the two of them will definitely produce a victory over Solo. And the end result is exactly that. ”

If what this kid said is true, then he must be a business genius. But will there be anything greasy in between? Is it possible for him to buy Solo in order to ensure that he does not lose. Song Qi stared at Zhuang Zhifu for half an hour, and the latter shuddered and hung his head speechlessly.

After a while, Song Qi suddenly slapped the frame of the stone-throwing cart and said sharply: "Zhuang Zhifu, even if what you said is true, it cannot be concluded that Solo will lose." If you have concluded that Solo will lose to one of Waryear and Rondo, why do you set the odds on these two so high? This is not logical. Tell me honestly, did you buy Solo and deliberately release water? ”

Zhuang Zhifu hurriedly kowtowed, and hurriedly argued: "General Song, there is no such thing!" I don't know Solo, how can I buy him? Besides, if I buy out Solo and let him release the water, how can I set such high odds for Rondo in the war year? ”

Song Qi waved his hand to Zhuang Zhifu and said, "I hope you don't." General Ben will continue to investigate this matter clearly, and if you are found to have done this, General Ben will definitely not be able to spare you. Go down, remember, don't gamble anymore! If I do it again, I will not spare it! ”

"Yes! Subordinates must wash their hands and never gamble again! Zhuang Zhifu was granted amnesty, kowtowed to Song Qi and Mingyu three times respectively, wiped his sweat, and left in a gloomy manner.

Mingyu took two steps closer to Song Qi and asked puzzledly, "Brother Song, why did you suddenly investigate the gambling game?" Now that the investigation is clear, how can you let him go? ”

Song Qi squinted slightly at Zhuang Zhifu's back, his eyes flashed thoughtfully, and said, "Gambling in the army must be banned." But there were too many people involved this time, and Fu Haowei Yin Tie Yuman participated, and it was quite tricky to deal with. This time I could only turn a blind eye. But it will never be allowed next time. Zhuang Zhifu is a gambling banker, and after I talked to him, he didn't dare to gamble anymore. ”

Mingyu said with a smile: "You talk to Zhuang Zhifu, I'm afraid there are other reasons." ”

"Mingyu, you know me so well!" Song Qi touched his chin with his hand and said with a smile, "I was thinking, Zhuang Zhifu is a rare talent who can analyze everything thoroughly and connect seemingly unrelated things to make a profit." If he can join Mingzhu Firm, it will definitely help Mingzhu Firm's career. ”

Mingyu glanced at Song Qi gratefully, and Ying Ying smiled and said: "Zhuang Zhifu made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from a gamble, and he is a centurion who is responsible for transporting grain and grass, which can be regarded as a fat difference, will he be willing to join our business?" Even if he is willing to join, all the branches of our firm in Weiguo will be occupied by Ximen Liu, and we will have nothing to do in Weiguo. ”

Song Qi waved his hand vigorously in the air, his tone was full of pride, and said, "Now everything from Tongque Pass to Iron Horse Pass is under my control. I think it is possible to open branches of the Ming Zhu firm in these towns. Strive to regain the status of the world's No. 1 business within a year or two! ”

Mingyu's beautiful eyes lit up, and then she gloomy, shook her head and sighed: "The most important thing in business is to stabilize the situation. At present, although Wuguan is under our control, the situation is still unstable, so let's wait until we reach Do'an Mansion. As for whether the world is the first or the first, I don't force it! Let's just let it be. ”

Song Qi nodded, "Okay, let's talk about it after we conquer the Duo'an Mansion." ”

After Mingyu left, Song Qi continued to study the stone throwing car. He drew drawings of the structure of the catapult. The catapult is not complicated to make, and he is looking at how to improve it.

It took him half a day to draw the complete drawings of the catapult. In addition, he also drew a drawing of a ballista by the way.

The next step is to find a craftsman to build it.

A craftsman in his fifties with a gray-haired surname was called.

"General Song, I don't know what to call the little one over?" The class craftsman stood in front of Song Qi respectfully, and his voice was also very respectful.

"Master Ban, I want you to build a few guys." Song Qi said with a smile on his face.

The craftsman of the class looked proud, stroked the gray beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "There is no one I can't build." What to build, General Song just commands! ”

Song Qi pointed to the ballista and stone throwing cart placed in the courtyard, and squinted at the class craftsman, "Can you build these two guys?" ”

The craftsman walked into the courtyard, turned around several times beside the ballista and the stone-throwing cart, stretched out his hand from time to time to touch, probe to look, and finally looked embarrassed, shook his head and said, "These two guys have not built it, and I don't know what his internal structure is." ”

Song Qi smiled slightly: "I have detailed drawings, can you build a stone-throwing car and a ballista according to the drawings?" As he spoke, he walked into the hall and pulled out a roll of drawings.

The class craftsman took the drawings from Song Qi's hand, unfolded them respectfully, looked up and down carefully, and then turned his face to look at Song Qi, and said happily: "With the drawings and materials, I can build the guy according to the drawings!" ”

Song Qi gave a thumbs up approvingly, "Good! Class craftsmen are worthy of being ingenious people! After a pause, he asked, "How much time will it take you to build 300 units of each?" ”

The class craftsman lowered his head and counted for half an hour, then raised his head and replied, "It will take about fifteen days to match me with three hundred craftsmen." ”

"Good! I'll give you fifteen days, and I'll give you three hundred craftsmen!" Song Qi agreed.

The craftsman gave his hand to Song Qi and promised: "General Song, after the fifteenth year, I will definitely build you exactly the same three hundred ballistas and three hundred stone-throwing carts." ”

At this moment, a spy hurriedly walked in from outside, and said loudly: "Report, General Song... (To be continued.) )
