Chapter 37: The Bed Crossbow

"Brother Wang, I'm here, I'll come right now." The appearance of Wang Xuance finally saved the eldest grandson from the dire situation.

After a burst of footsteps, Wang Xuance appeared at the door, Zhang Zhong's strange behavior made him a little curious, but curiosity killed the cat.

Wang Xuance is not a cat, so Wang Xuance was not killed by his curiosity, but two eyes that can kill people make Wang Xuance feel cold all over his body, and this scene is imaginable to be the consequence of the gods.

"Brother Wang, thank you." The eldest grandson only said five, in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Eldest grandson, not eldest grandson, I was wrong, I shouldn't have come to disturb you." If only the eldest grandson and his sister were alone, Wang Xuance would definitely take the initiative to do such a thing, but in a scene like today, as long as he thinks about it, he will feel a chill down his spine.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" The eldest grandson didn't care about these anymore.

"That's right, all the craftsmen you asked me to bring from Jingzhou have been settled, and I have paid some money from Zhang Zhong to place them in a courtyard outside the city, with a total of 124 people with their families."

Wang Xuance did not explain the difficulties involved, and at this time the movement of the population was not encouraged, and even some local officials would block it for the sake of their own political achievements. This more than 100 people is definitely a big team, some of them went in the name of following Wu Yuanshuang back to his hometown and provincial relatives, and some of them were broken into pieces, just for the sake of these more than 100 people eating and drinking along the way, Wang Xuance was tossed enough.

Wang Xuance is not the kind of person who easily admits defeat, no matter how difficult it is to grit his teeth, he persevered.

"Zhang Zhong, have you gained anything else in the past few days?" The eldest grandson asked Zhang Zhong, and the two brothers, Ge Long and Ge Feng, smirked vigorously.

"Oh, this, I've done everything the young master explained, but I don't know the Jiao... The charcoal talisman does not meet the requirements of the young master. Zhang Zhong's face turned red again, but these things still had to be done.

"Everyone has worked hard during this time, Zhang Zhong, you prepare a red envelope for each person, you look at the size of the work, don't forget your share. Tonight, you take everyone to Wangjiang Tower to rub it off, and count it in my account. Remember to call Old Man Zhang. The eldest grandson commanded.

As the boss, Changsun Tang is quite generous in dealing with meritorious personnel.

"Young Master, aren't you going tonight?" Zhang Zhong asked.

"I still have some things, Ge Long will run with me, and you will go to Wangjiang Tower by yourself tomorrow." Originally, it was very good to bring Zhang Zhong, but in many cases, Zhang Zhong is even his own shadow, and Wang Xuance has not been recognized by everyone in this circle after all.

"Okay, Childe." This Ge Long can be regarded as having figured out the temperament of the eldest grandson.

It's usually easy to talk to, but only if you complete the tasks he has given you.

Zhang Zhong took Wang Xuance and his party away, and Wu Rou and Miss Wang also followed.

The lively courtyard was quiet for a moment.

The eldest grandson and Ge Long also set off.

Their destination was the residence of Jinyang Changshi and the British Duke Li Tao.

"Hehe, the virtuous nephew has come back from Shuofang, how is the situation?" Li Tao still looked smiling.

All this made Ge Long a little surprised, whether he had been here with Ge Chengze or the eldest prince before, he had basically eaten behind closed doors, but looking at the appearance of this eldest grandson, he didn't need to be notified in advance, so he swaggered in. This made him a little glad that he was with the right person.

"With my uncle's blessing, my little nephew has come back from Shuofang, but he has come full circle in Chang'an." The eldest grandson replied.

"Why is that?" Li Tao was a little confused.

"That's right, when the little nephew was in Shuofang, he thought of a gadget related to Tuntian, and this Tuntian matter is roughly eight or nine or ten, so he went back to Chang'an to fight the autumn breeze."

"What gadgets?" Li Tao was not interested in what Changsun Tang said.

"It's something like this, which was inadvertently discovered by the little nephew in Jinyang City." The eldest grandson took out a gear cast by Old Man Zhang and handed it to Li Tao at the top.

"It's a very delicate thing, but what is its purpose? If you want to say something funny, you won't believe me, hahaha. Li Tao laughed, and the smile made the eldest grandson feel panicked.

"That's the case, the reason why the little nephew returned to Jinyang from Chang'an has a lot to do with this little thing." The eldest grandson said unhurriedly.

"Is this gadget really that important?" Li Tao was a little suspicious.

"Yes, the purpose of coming so late today is to settle this matter with my uncle as soon as possible." The eldest grandson said.

"What is so important?"

"It's not very important, but it's sensitive."

"How sensitive?" Hearing Changsun Tang say that, Li Tao became more and more cautious.

"Bed crossbow." The eldest grandson replied with only two words.

"What does this have to do with the bed crossbow?" Li Tao became more and more curious.

"If this device is installed on the bed crossbow, the bed crossbow that used to require several soldiers to operate can be operated by only one person."

"What you say is true? What are the restrictions on this soldier? Li Tao couldn't believe it.

"No, you just need to aim."

"Why don't you do such a great feat yourself?" Li Tao was a little puzzled.

"There are times and some feats that not everyone can touch. Uncle thinks it's appropriate that my eldest grandson's family is still involved in this arms production? The eldest grandson asked rhetorically.

"You're such a slippery boy." Li Tao sighed a little.

It's not that Li Tao doesn't understand these things, but he can't believe it, seventeen years old is an age to work hard, and he can also make great achievements, but the seventeen-year-old boy can make a choice to be the eldest grandson, which makes Li Tao a little unbelievable. But hearing this from the mouth of the eldest grandson, Li Tao had to sigh with emotion.

"What do you need me to do?" Li Tao quickly cleaned up his mood, for the pie that fell from the sky, if he didn't grab it, he would be punished by God, this is the life motto that Li Tao has always believed.

But at the same time, I also felt a little emotional, this daughter was engaged not long ago, otherwise he would definitely marry his daughter to him.

Changsun Tang didn't know these thoughts of Li Tao, but for being Li Tao's son-in-law, Changsun Tang was definitely unwilling, and this son-in-law would usually be used by him to sacrifice the flag, which was too risky.

It was too simple to add a set of gear-modified winding devices to the bed crossbow, and it was done quickly, and the effect was even better than Changsun Tang's expectations.

The bed crossbow modified by Changsun Tan was a prop used to persuade the ministers of the court and China to support his industrial plan.

Only when these basic things begin to be applied on a large scale will the dawn of science and technology illuminate the sky above Datang. (To be continued.) )
