Yuan Zheng has arrived in Jiangnan from the north, but he really has not returned to the north from Jiangnan.

On the road, there are still peppercorns and fennel accompaniment, and there is one more person, Chen Gui.

After the beginning of spring, the spring rain was ushered in, the road was muddy, Chen Gui rode a little donkey, it seemed a little cloudy, and the speed was naturally unable to keep up with the smoke and clouds and the five-colored deer.

This return to the north is destined to be a long journey.

Yuan Zheng said to Chen Gui: "I remember that in the past, you took great pains to study the big kite, in your mouth, it was called the sky chariot, and the soldiers could drive the sky chariot, condescendingly, and throw gunpowder, stones, etc. ”

"How's your Sky Chariot researched now?"

Chen Yu, the military advisor, sent his son to Yuan Zheng's side just to avoid trouble.

The husband is not guilty of his crimes, and the people around Yuan Tieshan will always encounter all kinds of difficulties at critical moments, such as Yuan Zheng is a living example.

His Majesty the Emperor will not offend Yuan Tieshan to death, but he must still grasp a handle that can be checked and balanced.

This handle can be Yuan Zheng or Chen Gui.

Yuan Tieshan is not stupid, naturally he will not let his eldest brother grab his handle, in that case, the whole person does not want to rebel, it is estimated that he will rebel.

Chen Gui rode a little donkey, and it was really a bit out of the dust, like the descendant of a master outside the world, in fact, Chen Gui just liked to ride a little donkey, not pretending.

War horses are too fierce, Chen Gui is not such a radical person, and he doesn't like to control war horses.

In comparison, the little donkey has a milder temperament.

Chen Gui replied calmly: "My Sky Chariot was used by my father as a sideline, once, my father just smashed my Sky Chariot, and then I didn't study those things, and I have been wasting my time. ”

A person can encounter things he likes, and he also needs to understand and pay attention to things, which can be regarded as a creation given by God.

It depends on whether the individual can grasp it.

Yuan Zheng asked curiously: "In addition to the sky chariot, I remember that you have also studied the earth chariot, and the blue sea chariot, the sea, land and air have been thoroughly studied by you anyway, let me take the liberty of asking, how is the chariot you researched, in terms of actual combat?"

In fact, Yuan Zheng has always felt that Chen Gui may have eaten enough to study those things, and he has nothing to do, so he just finds something to do for himself.

Now that I think about it, Chen Gui has passed the year of the crown, and after getting along with each other for a few days, I found that Chen Gui is actually quite a mature and stable person, with the demeanor of his father.

Chen Gui asked rhetorically: "Could it be that you want me to make a sky chariot, so that you can see for yourself, how powerful my sky chariot is?"

Yuan Zheng said in a deep voice: "I just mean it, but I don't know your depth, to be honest, those things you studied, I just thought it was more unpopular and more fun before, but now I look back and think about it, maybe you are really a genius." ”

Chen Gui said expressionlessly: "Now there is a lack of war horses, a lack of blacksmiths, and a lack of armaments, if you are here in Jiangnan, there are enough military horses and horses, and there are military bases, maybe, you will not ask me this question, and even, you will think that I am the kind of person who is idle and has nothing to do, and is fooling around." ”

Yuan Zheng's heart sank.

Chen Gui's words seemed like a joke, but in fact, every word was fine.

Because this is the truth, if Yuan Zheng had other choices, he would not ask Chen Gui this question.

In the initial stage, many things in Yuanzheng are relatively neutral and peaceful, and they can accept new things, but they are also the kind of mentality of messing with flowers, and if they are blinded, they will not be blinded, and they will not affect the overall situation anyway.

Yuan Zheng said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I'm a little concerned about it, my situation here is really not very good, so I thought of you, and the mentality is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but since you said so, I don't mind arranging a group of skilled craftsmen for you, so that you can study your chariot freely, your novelties that the world can't understand." ”

Chen Gui said very seriously: "But in this case, it will cost a lot of money, not to mention anything else, just the material cost is a lot of expenses." ”

In the past, when Chen Gui studied various combat vehicles, there was a very objective limitation.

That is, Chen Gui does not have enough silver in his hands, obviously spending more money to buy some good timber and ores and metals, etc., he can succeed, but at the critical moment, Chen Gui does not have enough silver.

Some things are slowly explored step by step.

When Chen Gui researched the first sky chariot, he was already on the verge of bankruptcy, and the results were not satisfactory.

But I also found out where there are shortcomings, where there needs to be improvement, and how to deal with some details.

When he was about to do this, Chen Gui was shy.

Father Chen Yu did not support Chen Gui to toss those strange tricks, nor did he oppose it.

As long as you are happy, but if Chen Gui wants to ask his father Chen Yu for enough funds in this matter, it is unlikely.

Chen Gui calculated an account, when he was in Hanzhou before, his monthly salary was almost ten taels of gold, which was enough for Chen Gui to live a decent life alone.

But if you really want to get that fund, Chen Gui needs almost 1,000 taels of gold for a month, and sometimes the road is wrong, and you have to spend money to correct it slowly.

When it's time to get on the right track, there is no need to spend silver taels.

If Chen Gui really had enough funds at the beginning, the sky chariot that he had researched would have appeared in the sky above Bazhou and Lingzhou.

The Great Qin Iron Horse was brave and invincible on the ground, but in the sky, the Great Qin Iron Horse had no place to exert its strength.

Yuan Zheng said: "Silver is not a problem, the two of us can say anything, Doctor Qin has just moved back from Da Zhou to a gold mountain, which is enough for us to squander it temporarily, and Guo Xijun's business in Daxia is also on the right track." ”

"But I want to know, how sure are you that you can use your Sky Chariot in actual combat?"

Chen Gui replied very calmly: "A sky chariot, in a flat place, can be reluctantly called ten thousand enemies, for ordinary soldiers, it can be unilaterally killed, and it is not very safe to meet a general with advanced martial arts cultivation, but if the person who drives the sky chariot has a high martial arts cultivation, it is another matter, depending on the proportion of use." ”

Yuan Zhengdao: "I understand, when we come back from the north, we are vigorously studying this matter." ”

Chen Gui did not respond, and his mood was a little complicated.

In the past, I studied those things for the sake of personal beliefs, but now I have a subtle change in mentality for the sake of the interests of the war.
