Once the three major killing weapons of trebuchet, bed crossbow, and crossbow machine come out, it is conceivable how much cruelty will be added to the war of this era.

A trebuchet is a siege weapon that can be used to throw boulders into enemy walls and castles, causing damage.

Such a trebuchet can be described as the best siege weapon in the era of cold weapons!

The power of the bed crossbow and the crossbow machine is also very powerful.

The bed crossbow is a more powerful crossbow.

One or several bows are mounted on a bed frame to twist the axle at the rear of the bow to load the arrows, ready for fire.

The multi-bow bed crossbow can be used by multiple people to winch the shaft, and the combined force of several bows can cause very terrifying lethality!

The crossbow is also a long-range lethal weapon, which is more powerful than a normal hard bow.

As far as Qingji knows, the trebuchet, bed crossbow and crossbow machine in history will probably be invented one after another decades later.

Because as the war became more and more brutal, people also had to rack their brains and find ways to develop sharper weapons to defeat their enemies.

Now Qingji has taken the lead in inventing trebuchets, bed crossbows and crossbow machines, which can undoubtedly add a big arm to the Wu army in the future in the battle to conquer the city!

"King Shengming! Far away from the Fuxi and Yellow Emperor of the past! ”

The cadre involuntarily patted his ass and said flatteringly: "It is conceivable that as soon as these three major killing weapons come out, in the future, our Wu army will be invincible, invincible, and invincible!" ”

"It's all the king's work!"

Qingji just smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "The widow also got something by chance for a while, so he studied such a killing weapon." ”

"Cadre, you immediately arrange craftsmen to develop trebuchets, bed crossbows, and crossbow machines as soon as possible. However, the widow still said that the benefits of these three are like paper slips and five-baht coins, which are in the community and should not be spied on by outsiders. ”

For the power of trebuchets, bed crossbows and crossbow machines, Qingji is naturally clear.

It is precisely because he knows its power that Qingji requires the weapon workshop to strictly abide by the manufacturing method and not leak it out.

And this must ensure that the craftsmen responsible for making these secret weapons are all from good families, and their families must always be under the control of the Wu army and must not escape!

"No!"

The cadre immediately agreed, but he had to say with a bitter face: "King, the minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Your Majesty, there is a shortage of craftsmen in all the workshops right now. The trebuchets, bed crossbows and crossbow machines made by the king's ministers are all weapons of the country, and the laws of manufacture must not be leaked, so how can the ministers rush to make them? ”

The cadre lowered his head and said, "Therefore, the minister asks the king to recruit craftsmen again!" ”

"Quasi-play."

Qingji can naturally understand the difficulties of the cadres.

In this era, the status of craftsmen is neither high nor low, but it is still a craft, so ordinary craftsmen are not difficult to find.

The difficulty is that they are Wu people? Are you familiar with crafting weapons?

Qingji thinks that he has the capacity to accommodate people, and he said in one of his orders to seek talents: All the elders who have a skill, I should use it.

Kyungji did just that!

For craftsmen, Qingji can be given preferential treatment.

Wu attaches great importance to craftsmen!

Therefore, at this time, there are not many craftsmen pouring into Wu from all over the world, and it depends on whether Qingji can trust them.

Qingji pondered secretly, and then said: "Cadre, the widow is determined to raise the age of craftsmen again, and issue a work order. All craftsmen who serve the state are given six acres of land, ten horses of cloth, and three houses, and are rewarded according to their merits and qualifications. ”

"The king is wise!"

The cadre hurriedly praised.

The king who attaches so much importance to craftsmen, from ancient times to the present, there is only one Qingji!

Rewarding fields, cloth and houses is naturally a courtesy to craftsmen and further improving the treatment of craftsmen, which also proves that Qingji attaches great importance to the craftsman industry.

Rao is like this, Qingji is still not very satisfied.

Why?

Because the number of craftsmen in Wu is still too small to create more weapons and armor for Wu.

Coinage, copper, weapons and armor, etc., where does not require many craftsmen?

If the number of craftsmen is too small, I am afraid that the things produced in the workshop will not meet the needs of the country!

Therefore, Qingji immediately added a clause to the work order, that is, craftsmen can train qualified disciples for the country, and the government should be rewarded for being craftsmen and serving the country.

In this way, how can Wu Guo lack craftsmen in the future?

Not long after, a notice was posted at the gate of Wudu, and attracted scholars, merchants, and peddlers to come and watch.

"What's written on this?"

"It's the king's order to work! The king wants craftsmen, fills the workshop, and also improves the age of craftsmen, and on the basis of the original, each craftsman's age is added with another stone! ”

"Moreover, all craftsmen who serve the country can also be given six acres of land, ten horses of cloth, and three houses, and in the future, they will be rewarded according to their merits and qualifications."

"Wow! Really? ”

"The king's edict, written in black and white, how can it be fake?"

"If that's the case, go back and close the shop and report to the government!"

Qingji's work-seeking order suddenly set off an uproar in Wu Guofang.

Craftsmen from all over the country heard the news and joined the arms workshops to serve the country.

Of course, not all craftsmen in the government were accommodated in the weapons workshop.

When it comes to the workshop of secret weapons, the government must strictly control it, and only after confirming that the other party is an innocent Wu person will he be allowed to devote himself to work.

As for the rest of the craftsmen, they are assigned to different workshops according to their skills.

In addition, in order to expand the production scale of the workshop, Qingji deliberately placed all the workshops on Gusu Mountain, and sent troops to be stationed nearby, strictly entering and leaving.

Miscellaneous people are not allowed to enter!

Moreover, in order to avoid the embarrassment of the lack of craftsmen in Wu State, Qingji not only allowed craftsmen to teach their disciples and preach and receive employment, but also started construction in Gusu Mountain to build a "craftsman national school", which belongs to the nature of a craftsman college.

Children and grandchildren of craftsmen, as well as those who want to enroll in the craftsman kokujuku, can enroll at their discretion.

With such a long-term plan, Qingji thinks that there is nothing wrong with it.

Because the current Wu country is really short of craftsmen!

A sword, a ge, and a spear cannot be made by just one person, and even if an ordinary craftsman can make it, it may not be able to use it!

After all, there is a specialization in the art industry.

As a traverser, Qingji understands the importance of productivity.

Artisans are just as important as farmers!

Moreover, in addition to the craftsman needs of Wu Guo's own various weapons and armor, there are also the needs of craftsmen in copper smelting, papermaking, money casting, etc., outside, Wu Guo also exports a large number of weapons and armor to the outside world, and the military supplies are heavy!

At this time, the state of Wu was like a superpower in later generations, selling weapons everywhere.
