Although the Zhao Clan's Rune Workshop can produce thousands of runes every year, this does not mean that from now on, one or two thousand new runes can be made within half a year.

Ordinary blades, such as bows and crossbows, and horse lances, take several years from start to make, especially horse lances, and the success rate is still low. This is not the case with ordinary blades, let alone runes.

Fortunately, the Zhao family, as a noble family of Jiangmen, has its own rune workshop, and there is no shortage of rune soldiers who have completed some process steps.

The number of these semi-finished runes is extremely large, more than 10,000, so as to ensure that the workshop produces thousands of runes every year. Now you only need to fuse the amethyst stone into these talismans who can be baked in half a year.

The result of this situation is that Zhao Ning can only use the ready-made talismans that are already in the workshop and are about to be completed, they are whatever kind they are, and Zhao Ning cannot make adjustments according to his own needs.

Among the various types of talisman soldiers in the court of the Northern Hu Tianyuan Dynasty, the most powerful was the bow and arrow, and their compound recurve bow was far stronger in structure and performance than the bows of all other countries, including the Great Qi, with greater power, longer range, and faster rate of fire.

The compound recurve bow in this rune is made into many different levels, ranging from the ninth rank to the first rank, and they have a common name, which is collectively called the "Sirius Bow".

In the national war in the previous life, the two most important points for the Beihu army to achieve victory were a large number of powerful cultivators and the Heavenly Wolf Bow. The advantages of the Tian Yuan army in other aspects were not as outstanding as these two.

According to Zhao Ning's idea, if the Great Qi army wants to defeat the Beihu army, it must first improve its weapons and equipment, and carry out large-scale or even all-round upgrading of armaments.

The most important thing in this is to have an existence that can compete with or even suppress the Sirius Bow, whether it is a bow or armor.

If the situation allows, in the grassland battle next autumn, Zhao Ning would like to take Fu Gong with him. Although Daqi's strong bow is not as good as the Sky Wolf Bow, if it is blessed with amethyst stone, it can also make up for the gap.

But now among the runes that are almost completed in the workshop, the rune bows only account for a part, and the total number is only 500 pieces. This is not enough to use amethyst completely.

So Zhao Ning made a decision to bring back five hundred pieces of the talisman bow that had been made from the warehouse. In this way, in half a year, he will be able to go to Saibei with a thousand amethyst stone rune bows.

As for retrieving five hundred rune bows, it will lead to the inability to meet the needs of rune bows in other places, that is the problem that Zhao Xuanji should solve, and Zhao Ning has already thought of a way for Zhao Xuanji to support his tossing.

"I now have amethyst stones, which can increase the power of the rune bow, so that the new rune bow will not fall behind against the Sirius Bow, but even if a year's amethyst is used to make rune bows, there are only three thousand pieces......"

Zhao Ning pondered, "The problem of the Heavenly Wolf Bow can't be solved by amethyst alone, so we have to think of other ways." Speaking of which, in my previous life, I also knew a little about the Sirius Bow.

"But I'm not a talisman maker myself, and my so-called understanding is mostly focused on how to use it, although I know the structure of the Sirius Bow, and I roughly know some materials and manufacturing processes, but it's not complete.

"A good bow that requires strict material selection and processing, and it takes three years or more to make it, I know that this thing is really not enough for me to get it out......"

Thinking of this, Zhao Ning couldn't help but sigh. If you can bring back the blueprints for the Sirius Bow when you are reborn, it will be much more convenient.

There are priorities, Zhao Ning plans to let the workshop step up the transformation and production of the amethyst stone rune bow first, and the matter of the wolf bow is slowly being figured out.

If the battle against Saibei goes well next year and can snatch some complete Sirius Bows from the battlefield and come back, then things will be much easier.

During the day the next day, Zhao Ning was still on an errand in the Governor's Mansion.

The Duwei Mansion is now calm, and the people below have nothing important to do for the time being, except for taking advantage of the weakness of Jingzhao Mansion to patrol and inspect everywhere, show off their military power and declare their supremacy, and rob all kinds of oil and water.

In Zhao Ning's perception, Shi Fu has become more and more kind these days.

After the previous Pingkangfang case ended, although Shi Feng also showed great closeness and warmth to Zhao Ning, Zhao Ning, who was a person in two lives, could feel that the other party was not in harmony with each other and did not really get along with him.

But these times have changed, and Zhao Ning obviously feels that Shi Xun is no longer hostile to him, and his vigilance has also faded. And the other party no longer reprimands the people below at every turn, and the state of the whole person has a tendency to change to a rich man.

Of course, this is what Zhao Ning is willing to see.

Since Wu Shaochen lost the last confrontation, he rarely shows up in front of people, basically stays in his own room, and does not go to the street to get oil and water.

Sometimes Zhao Ning heard the discussion and said that Wu Shaochen locked himself in the class room to cultivate, so he didn't take care of things. The time spent on errands is used for office work, so naturally you can't cultivate. Wu Shaochen did this, which made Zhao Ning realize that the other party may not plan to stay in the Governor's Mansion for longer, and it is estimated that he will be transferred and leave in the spring of next year.

It seems that in Wu Shaochen's heart, the last time he was disgraced in public, he was greatly stimulated, and his self-esteem did not allow him to forget about it, so he felt that he could no longer straighten his waist and be a person in the Governor's Mansion, so it was better to change places.

Zhang Wenzheng, another general flag, is still in a muddy state every day, as if he is half-drunk and half-awake at any time, and in the cold winter, the wine trough nose is getting more and more red.

Unlike in the past, this guy now doesn't have to spend his own money to buy wine, not to mention that when he walks to the tavern, there will be a wine lady who will take the initiative to deliver the wine, and the rich oil and water of the filial piety of those subordinates are enough for him to drown himself in the wine pool.

Counting up and down, in the high-level of the Duwei Mansion, Zhao Ning, the general banner, is now shining brightly, and his majesty is flourishing day by day, and there is quite a momentum of everyone bowing down and claiming to be the king.

On duty today, Zhao Ning was not idle, the largest and most complete map of Yanping City in the Governor's Mansion let him hang it in his class room, covering an entire wall, and now he stood in front of the map with his hands in his hands, pondering the streets and alleys, obviously planning something.

When Wei Wuxian asked, he didn't say anything, and Wei Wuxian saw that he didn't look like a sellout, so he knew that it was something that Zhao Ning was thinking about and hadn't thought about it yet, so it wasn't worth talking about for the time being, or it wasn't clear enough.

Zhao Ning stood in front of the picture for more than an hour in the morning, rested for a while after lunch, and continued to stand in front of the picture without saying a word in the afternoon, Wei Wuxian couldn't help it after all, and also stood in front of the picture, thinking side by side with Zhao Ning.

One of them pondered with his hands in his hands, and the other crossed his arms and touched his chin to ponder, neither of them asked the other what they were thinking, as if they had thought of a lot of things they wanted.

Wei Wuxian couldn't help it, not that he couldn't help but know what Zhao Ning was thinking, but that he couldn't help but think about it seriously.

The strange appearance of the two of them seemed quite unfathomable in the eyes of the people below, so the guards automatically stood outside the courtyard gate, and no one was allowed to go in and disturb them. In their hearts, the general flag and the capital must be thinking about important matters.

This is inevitable, because the two of them only completed the case of Pingkangfang not long ago, and Zhao Zongqi even took the Liu family to turn Jingzhao Mansion upside down, resulting in Jingzhao Yin is now about to be impeached into a sieve, seeing that the official position is not guaranteed, and the officials below are also in danger.

Jingzhao Mansion is too busy to take care of itself, so naturally it is not good to conflict with the people of the Duwei Mansion, and if there is anything, he will swallow his anger and take a step back, but now the Duwei Mansion is raising his eyebrows everywhere in Yanping City, and he has a big advantage.

Those green buildings, kilns, gambling houses, and trading houses with abundant oil and water are now stuffing the silver of filial piety and seeking protection from the government into the pockets of the officials of the Governor's Mansion.

Because of this, the whole Governor's Mansion admired and admired Zhao Ning and was grateful to him when he had obtained tangible benefits, and Zhao Ning's image in their minds was already very high, and his status was already very stable.

Now the officials and soldiers of the Governor's Mansion, whether they are under Zhao Ning or not, who see him are all smiling and respectful.

If Zhao Ning's prestige was not so huge, Shi Xuan, the chief official of the Governor's Mansion, would not be willing to be a mud bodhisattva. Zhao Ning is no longer as simple as co-opting a few high-level officials and elevating his power, but has established his authority from top to bottom, and the general trend has been achieved.

Shi Hui couldn't disobey everyone's wishes, so he could only give in.

After a day of nothing, Zhao Ning went to the teahouse.

"I need five hundred cultivators, all of them above the Imperial Qi Realm. Zhao Ning sat down and said to Hu Hong, "It's best to be your people, if not, you also need to go through the screening of Yipinlou and have good conduct." ”

"There are so many cultivators, there are not so many in Yipinlou, and there are not in the entire Yanping City rivers and lakes right now!"

Hu Honglian was surprised, and glanced at Zhao Ning strangely, the other party should know about this situation, but why did he still make such a request?

After thinking about it, Hu Honglian asked in surprise: "Do you want to use the power outside of Yanping City?"

What is Zhao Ning going to do? Although the Qi Realm cultivators are not very eye-catching, the five hundred Qi Realm cultivators are a huge force wherever they are placed.

Even the nobles of the major families, including the Zhao family, have hundreds of cultivators in the clan - of course, the family has the Yuan Shen Realm and the Wang Ji Realm. If you really want to talk about value, a dozen imperial qi realms are not as good as a primordial god realm.

But in any case, recruiting five hundred Qi Realm cultivators was a very large sum, and the cost was not small.

Zhao Ning nodded, "Within forty days, the manpower will be in place." Make it clear to them in advance, I will give them the identity of the auxiliary soldiers of the Yanmen Army at that time, and after following me into the battle once, they can stay in the Yanmen Army or return to Yipinlou. But you can't go anywhere else but these two places. ”

These five hundred Qi Realm cultivators were prepared by Zhao Ning for the grassland battle next autumn, and the other five hundred people, he would select them from within the Zhao clan - let them use the amethyst stone rune bow as a surprise soldier.
