After listening to Zhou Qi, he thought of the machine crossbow, which was light and dexterous, ten rounds in a row, and it was no problem to deal with mountain bandits!

But the crossbow had to be made up of five parts, not to mention the rack, the crossbow, and the arrow magazine, which could be done by a random craftsman, and the crossbow strings and arrows alone were a problem.

The crossbow string has to be made of cow tendon or raw cowhide, but now in this dynasty, the imperial court is still counting on collecting agricultural taxes, and if you dare to kill the ploughing cow without permission, it is a capital crime! Not to mention crossbow arrows, there are too many impurities in pig iron circulating in the market, and the strength cannot achieve the effect at all!

And it takes time to make a crossbow, and he is neither a carpenter nor a blacksmith, so it is better to hand it over to the government to make his own tinkering there!

Thinking of it, he told Liu Sichen on the spot.

"I've never heard of the machine crossbow you said, I don't know where Brother Zhou learned about it?" Liu Sichen narrowed his eyes, suspicious of him.

"You don't care about this, this machine crossbow I designed can win fifty paces away, isn't this better than the short soldiers and short guns of the Iron and Stone Battalion?"

Zhou Qi has this self-confidence, as a modern person, this thing can simply come out of his mouth, as long as the government can come forward, he can make at least ten or more in two days!

But after hearing this, Liu Sichen pondered, and his eyes looked at Zhou Qi, which became more and more wrong.

In his heart, he admired Zhou Qi's talent, and knew that he was a smart person, but how could he understand weapons?

However, this bandit is arrogant, and now there are several officers and soldiers killed and injured in the government, if there is really such a weapon, let alone bandits, even if it is used on the battlefield, why be afraid of foreign enemies in the future?

Thinking about it, Liu Sichen frowned and paced at the door, not knowing what he was thinking about and walking around the armory a few times before finally standing in front of Zhou Qi.

"Do you have drawings for the crossbow you're talking about?"

Zhou Qi didn't think about it and said, "Yes!" ”

Drawings are so easy to do, and the daughter-in-law at home is a good hand at drawing!

"Can you give me the drawings?" Liu Sichen's face was solemn, and he asked Zhou Qi again.

Zhou Qi was a little disgusted with Liu Sichen's ink, and replied very generously: "Why not, I can give it to you when I go back!" ”

This was originally to be handed over to the government, and the drawings must be indispensable, and handing them over to Liu Sichen also saved him trouble!

And Su Ling, who could understand his meaning to draw pictures, also happened to come to the county seat today.

Speaking of which, it was a deed that I felt out of my arms when I fought with her last night.

Now Su Ling should be over there, although they don't plan to live there, but the items they need for daily life should still be added.

The two said to go, and after a while, they returned to the county seat, Zhou Qi also entered this courtyard for the first time, and looked around, it was nothing special, it was an ordinary small courtyard, which was better than the small mud workshop in the village.

Seeing Su Ling, Zhou Qi couldn't help but hug him, causing Liu Sichen to block his eyes with a fan.

A few people were busy drawing the drawing.

Liu Sichen's eyes lit up when he saw the drawings, and then he said to Zhou Qi with a serious face: "You can't mention this matter to others again, and don't build it privately, do you understand?" ”

Zhou Qi nodded again and again, of course he knew how important this weapon was!

However, he didn't expect Liu Sichen to take this matter so seriously, but he didn't think about it, and chatted with him when he thought of the shop.

"Our toothbrushes are supposed to be sold out, but are you interested in having a shop?"

Hearing this, Liu Sichen returned to his previous demeanor, shook his fan, and the two went straight to the shop.

Seeing that there were only dozens of toothbrushes left on the empty display shelves, Liu Sichen was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop!

"This..."

"How can this sell so fast?!"

Qing Leng presented the account book, and Liu Sichen roughly flipped it twice, with a look of disbelief!

He didn't bother with whether the mane could be sold to the government, and muttered on the spot that he wanted to make a second batch.

Zhou Qi shook his head: "This matter is not in a hurry, it is urgent to raise pigs!" ”

"Pig farming?" Liu Sichen was very puzzled.

Zhou Qi nodded affirmatively: "Now that the toothbrush has been circulated in the market, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to raise pigs!" ”

When Liu Sichen heard this, the fan stopped dancing, and his two eyes were glowing with golden light, waiting for Zhou Qi to continue.

"Previously, I raised the mane to five taels and one catty, so that now, there will be other traders who want to do this business to buy the mane, so we have to raise pigs, but the Zhang family pig farmers don't know how to sign the contract with the retail investors, and now someone has sold it at a low price, which is very bad for my plan!"

Liu Sichen didn't understand what he was saying at all, but when he saw the money in the account, he chose to believe it!

"It's easy to do! Just find out the retail investors who sold at the low price! ”

Zhou Qi patted him on the shoulder: "Then I'll leave this matter to you!" ”

"Another point, where did the Zhang family's pig farmers collect their pigs, do you know this?"

"What don't you know, the Pei family in Qizhou City, tens of thousands of pigs, and the neighbors of the nearby counties are all collected from there!"

……

Three days later, Zhou Qi led Qing Leng to Qizhou City.

The toothbrushes of the Zhou family's toothbrush shop were also completely sold out, and they were remodeled and sold toothpaste.

Su Dafeng invited a well-known embroidery girl from nowhere, and today is the first day of the women's red class.

At this time, there were already five or six rich ladies gathered in the Zhou family's tooth brushing shop, each with a small jar of toothpaste, crowded somewhere in the courtyard, looking at the Wenzhu Academy with a shy and impatient face, and from time to time there were one or two laughs, and the whole courtyard was smiling and beautiful......

can have this effect, thanks to Su Yue, she has broken her legs in the past two days, and told those rich ladies about this matter one by one, and at first those rich ladies blushed, saying that they would not come, but today everyone wore a hat and lined up at the door of the shop early in the morning.

After Liu Sichen found out about this, he called it insulting to Sven, but in the end he didn't say anything, after all, he still had some friendship with Su Dafeng.

The four craftsmen in the shop also moved to their residences at this time, but they were not idle, and were making the loom with all their might.

However, in the past few days, the first textile machine has already been finished and secretly pulled back to the village by Zhou Qimeng's black cloth, and Su Ling is studying the operation at home at this time.

That Zhao Cuihua also knows a little about weaving, and when she saw the textile machine, she was stupid and yelled what a strange thing this was, but when she saw Su Ling stepping and pushing, the two of them immediately got together.

And Zhou Qi, because of his generosity, when the first batch of toothbrushes were divided, he only received 1,500 silver.

But soon, he collected Liu Sichen's more than two thousand taels.

It costs money to collect pigs, and Liu Sichen has nothing to say about it.

"Why don't you go to Zhang's house to collect pigs?" Qing Leng lifted the curtain and poked out a little head to ask.

Zhou Qi drove his new carriage, and he was in a very happy mood, so he explained to Qing Leng: "I used five taels of silver to collect the Zhang family's pig hair earlier, and if you accept his pig again, I don't know what the price will be!" ”

"What's more, what we want to collect this time are piglets and adult pigs, and his Zhang family does not sell pigs, so we naturally have to find his upper home."

Qing Leng didn't question his words, stopped talking and hid back in the carriage.

Jinfeng County is some distance from Qizhou City, Zhou Qi parked the carriage aside for a rest, Qing Leng also got out of the carriage and divided the potato balls he brought, and the two squatted under the tree and ate.

I didn't notice at all, but at this moment, there was a figure behind me quietly approaching them! ……
