It has a certain progressive significance, and it cannot be said that it is not as powerful as the bed crossbow, if it is built in the big place, its power is no less than that of the bed crossbow. The same bulkiness, but the bed crossbow could not be miniaturized, and the operation was more manpowered, and even fifty or sixty soldiers were required to operate it.

However, it is not as good as another weapon of the Song Dynasty, the Divine Arm Bow!

It is said that after the development of the Divine Arm Bow, it only takes a little more than a stone of arm strength to open it, that is, soldiers with less strength than Song Jiu can operate it. It's easier and can be operated by one person. But what about the last? Destroy the country!

Part of it was because of the corruption of the state, and part of it may be that this craftsman and official could not guarantee that the divine arm bow in the hands of the soldier was a truly qualified divine arm bow.

It may play a big role, but in this era, it is still the command ability of the generals, as well as the strength and system of the soldiers. As long as it can be done, it is now on par with the Khitan army, but if it can't be done, even if various developed weapons appear in the late Northern Song Dynasty, it is useless. The truth is the same as the lack of horses in the Song Dynasty, the Yuejia army is not short of horses, the Eighth Route Army is not short of excellent weapons, there is no horse, the enemy has horses, where to grab from the enemy, and where there is no weapon, where the enemy has weapons, grab from the enemy. This is an invincible army.

Song Jiu didn't think about it, the main thing was that he couldn't affect Er Zhao, and if he thought about it, it was in vain, so it was better to dream of wealth with peace of mind.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at it for a long time, and then ordered the guards to move a few pairs of armor to a hundred steps, and the three armors fell together, allowing Song Jiu to release the arrows again. It was still three arrows, this time closer, to be a little more accurate, and the two arrows hit the armor, and they also pierced through, flying more than twenty steps before falling.

The big guy gasped again. This means that if the enemy is dense, it is within the appropriate range. It can pierce five or six people with one arrow. Especially some generals and janissaries, they may go to the battlefield to fight. Some people are good at martial arts and can use the weapons in their hands to block arrows. However, how to block this kind of sharp weapon? I could see that their hairs stood on end. Zhao Kuang's face was cautious, and he said: "Song Jiu, after you go back, hand over the drawings to Zhongshu, and this technique must also be kept strictly secret." ”

"Wechen knows the way."

"You have risen too fast, so let's do it, I will reward you with 2,000 households and seal 600 households. At the same time, you will be rewarded with two hundred gold. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, please give your name."

"Call it the Bush Crossbow."

"Good name," Song Jiudao, the gunpowder asked Zhao Kuangyin to take a name, Zhao Kuangyin took a golden thunder, and Lei made Song Jiu's skin charred and tender. But this time the name was quite good, in fact, its role in the future was to defend against the Khitans. The rest doesn't matter, is Nantang worth using?

"How's that stone cannon?"

"Your Majesty. Since Bashu came back, Weichen only took a breather the day before yesterday and almost never stopped. There is no time to develop a stone cannon, but its principle is very similar to that of the ambush crossbow. All of them make use of slightly more complex levers and elastic principles. ”

"How powerful will it be?"

"If it is a large-scale stone cannon, it can throw a boulder of more than ten stones dozens of feet away after improvement, and if it is a stone of more than three or four stones. It can be thrown at a distance of 100 zhang, and the operator is also less manpower than the current ten-tip cannon. A dozen people are enough. ”

"Ten stones?" They gasped again.

Zhao Kuangyin was not much better, standing in a daze and not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.

"Actually, the principle is very simple. Ordinary mechanics, as long as the students study with me for three or four years and have a smart mind, they will be able to make it. For example, the kind of equipment on the dock now, two people can pull up dozens of stone weights. The current stone cannon is also a mechanical principle, but it is a little simpler. ”

"You study this first, and put aside the affairs on the river island for the time being."

"Your Majesty can't, Weichen can come up with it, because of some equipment in the playground, and then to Bashu, General Wang Quanbin also wants to quickly extinguish the rebels, and because the gunpowder is useless, he invited me into the army, I saw a lot of equipment in the army, only to know that these principles can also be used in the military. For example, Weichen's soju, when I first thought of it, I didn't think of civilianism, but to treat injuries. My father fought bloody battles all his life and couldn't rest in peace, so he named me Song Jiu, hoping for a long time, and let Weichen learn literature, so he didn't want me to risk on the battlefield in exchange for a name. But when Weichen had a little chance, his father couldn't see it, all he could see was a nerd. ”

"You kid talks about conscience." Zhao Kuangyin said with emotion, no matter what, even if it was Zhao Pu, he had to admit that Song Jiu talked about conscience.

"Your Majesty, don't dare, Weichen only asks for a word, don't do anything wrong. Therefore, when I studied the glaze at that time, I thought of some of its effects, if you add some spirits, plus some other things, then many soldiers will not die early because of injuries. Including ancient and modern exchanges, many people have died of gangrene, and half of them are not real gangrene, but wounds on the battlefield, infected wounds, and not having time to clean and disinfect, resulting in the accumulation of poison and stasis, and eventually going early. The same is true of Weichen's father, when he died, his condition worsened, and he couldn't sleep in pain, if he was Weichen, Weichen ......" Song Jiu was a little sentimental when he said this, no matter what, if that Song De was there, he was not like now, he was an orphan.

But many ministers looked at each other, it is rumored that there are too many people who died of gangrene, and it doesn't matter to others, Chai Rong died of gangrene. Many people thought that he was the retribution for destroying the Buddha, but it turned out that this was the reason. In fact, not only Chai Rong, but also Wang Shao Diqing, who later died, died of wound infection. Chai Rong died unjustly, Wang Shao Diqing died unjustly, died, and was splashed ink by a group of literati.

Song Jiu said: "In fact, one law can be used in one hundred ways, and the study of physical grid is the principle of the change of all things, which can be used for civilian use and military use. There is no need to stop it, once it comes in handy at that time, there is no need for His Majesty to order, and the micro-minister will also hand it over to the imperial court. Weichen was a person from the Song Dynasty and a minister of the Song Dynasty. Weichen doesn't understand the truth, but he knows a word, under the nest, how can there be eggs. ”

"This kid is a little sentimental when I say it." Zhao Kuangyin said to Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu smiled.

"It is good for you to be loyal to the country, if you can succeed, I should promote you to another official position."

"Your Majesty, forget about this, just now Weichen sat under the palace and saw that Lu Zhihe was only in front of Weichen, but Lu Zhixian was behind Weichen. Wechen was terrified. It cannot be ascended any more, but one must be content. Song Jiu had an idea. He also said: "If it is rewarded by His Majesty, Weichen." We-Chen......"

"Say it."

"Wechen dared to ask His Majesty to give him a marriage, and let Wechen marry the little lady of General Pan Mei's family."

"You are messing around, I can give you officials, give you money, this is the marriage of the ministers, how can I be the master?" Zhao Kuangyin smiled, but his heart was very happy, this was Song Jiu in his heart, although he was greedy. But knowing the way of proportion, although he loves money and officials, he knows that the way is moderate, not like a group of ministers below, duplicitous, and he speaks more beautifully than anyone else, but he does it. Of course, being unambitious is a drawback, but think about it the other way around. Wouldn't it be more reassuring for such people to use? So he said: "This request is really embarrassing for me, but I will write a letter to Pan Mei, saying that you are my peach blossom." ”

There are not many people who know this insider.

However, the meaning can be understood, that is, in front of these nearly 1,000 ministers. You are my man!

Song Jiu's most hated thing now is peach blossoms!

He glanced up at Zhao Kuangyi, and Zhao Kuangyi smiled at him vaguely, which means that you have done a good job.

It is also possible that Song Jiu got this sentence. His face was wiped and he didn't admit it, but Zhao Kuangyi wouldn't think so. This kid actually has many shortcomings, including the kindness of a woman. But he also has to admit that Song Jiu talks about conscience, attaches importance to affection and righteousness, and he secretly helps him a lot, and he should know what he should in his heart.

Thinking a little biased.

Song Jiu looked at him, and Zhao Kuangyi thought that Song Jiu was consulting his ideas, and he was very satisfied.

Of course, neither of them dared to look at each other for a long time, and their eyes drifted over with a flash. Others didn't pay attention, on the contrary, they were very envious, Song Jiu didn't ask for an official, but with Zhao Kuangyin's words, it was better than any official. And I feel that Zhao Kuangyin is shameless, saying that he will not interfere in the minister's marriage, with the words of your old man, Pan Mei has to agree if she disagrees, which is more useful than giving marriage.

"Do it well," Zhao Kuangyin didn't say too much, today he saw the power of the crossbow, he has been in the military, so he made an exception and said a few more words, and with a wave of his hand, the new fire salute began.

A few small yellow doors were drilling fire on them, and Lu Duosun whispered: "Jiulang, you are still upright and dare to speak." ”

The happiest thing is him, a big intellectual, why does he sit under the house?

Song Jiu was silent, and said in his heart, I just don't want to touch you, a moldy ghost.

A yellow gate finally drilled out of the fire and began to give fire, and at the same time gave some property, Song Jiu sat in front of the house, but he was not at the top among the officials, and the reward was not much, but if it included the two hundred gold for the crossbow, he rewarded the most, more than Zhao Pu.

Song Jiu also took a new fire, and made him hard.

Now the residence in the capital is not so nervous, and other officials are not too far from the palace, holding the "torch" to their homes for a while, but he is far away. It is impossible to deliberately make a large torch for him in the palace, and if it is extinguished halfway, it will be a great sin. Don't dare to run on the big black, if you run fast, the wind will blow out the torch, and it will be a great crime. I had to put the reward money in my backpack, but fortunately, Da Hei was human, Song Jiu ran briskly in front, Da Hei followed closely behind, and ran to the house, the torch was not extinguished, so he lit his own fire first, and then distributed it to his neighbors.

When the cold food is over, every household can make cooked food by lighting a fire.

After drinking a bowl of hot tea, Song Jiu's heart was warm, so he didn't mention it.

But the busyness is not over, and there is not even the official teaching of accounting and physical arithmetic to second-year students.

The actual plan of accounting is to teach until the second grade, and there may be more in the future, which is more complicated, and Song Jiu himself has no way to master it, and he can't teach it. In the third grade, the focus is on arithmetic and physical character.

There are a lot of affairs on the river island to be busy, and there are two kinds of textbooks to be compiled, and Song Jiu can't be busy, so he has to rely on the help of forty students, so he should review and study again. It affects the progress of the teaching, but this kind of revision is also beneficial, and as everyone leaves the school, they may forget it together in a few years. If he didn't have a history of tutoring, and then taught his nephew, he wouldn't remember too much when he came to the Song Dynasty. But before that, the drawings of the ambush crossbow must be drawn, the principles must be written, and the direction of improvement must be mentioned.

It will be improved in the future, although the research direction is different, and it will be handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court will improve it militarily, but Song Jiu is used in the playground. However, the principles are the same, and some of the playground equipment is more complex. If there is a way to improve, Song Jiu will continue to turn it in.

But Song Jiu still had some regrets in his heart, these instruments did not play much role in field warfare, that is, they would not cause great harm to the real enemies of the Song Dynasty.

But the story of the Qingming ceremony gradually spread, one is that Song Jiu is the emperor's royal peach blossom, and Song Jiu's opposition is invalid, all of which are said so. The second is the power of the ambush crossbow. The third is that Song Jiu made a fuss about asking the emperor to give him a kiss.

The depressed Pan Weide Weigu brothers came to the door.

Song Jiu was not there, on Hezhou, with a large group of students being busy, Pan Weide pulled Song Jiu aside. If it weren't for Song Jiu, he would have been able to go up and give Song Jiu two punches and ask, "Xiao Jiu, what do you mean?" ”

"Ah, Dalang, what's the explanation?"

"You didn't mention the serious proposal, but you made some trouble, and hooked my little sister to the outside of the city for a day."

"Da Lang, you really wronged me, yes, you called your sister out of the city, because I was afraid that others would gossip, and we didn't do anything."

"That's a whole day!" Pan Weide was in a hurry, it was a daytime, and it was the time when the spring flowers were blooming, and everything had happened! As a big brother, can he not be in a hurry? (To be continued......)
