Xiao Ming confirmed the order of the government, which made Yang Zhen overjoyed, he thought that this time Shangguan dug meat, and the 10,000 silver he took out was not enough, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he only dared to order 500 crossbows first, who would have thought that Xiao Ming would be so righteous, so he hurriedly took the initiative to add 1,000.

"Black God Crossbow! Hehe, I don't know who took the name of this crossbow? Xiao Ming asked.

On the side, Rowan said: "Lord Yang looks at this crossbow all black, so it is called the Black God Crossbow, I think it is also appropriate, and I also think that the crossbow is very suitable, this crossbow can reach five hundred steps when it is tested, and even the large crossbow machine is only more than eight hundred steps, that is a big guy who costs one hundred and fifty taels of silver, the name of the crossbow is absolutely deserved!" ”

Xiao Ming was noncommittal about this, the Black God Crossbow is the Black God Crossbow, it's just a name, according to his thoughts, he originally wanted to take the name: Sniper Crossbow No. 1, which is the first model of this model, because the improved version of the subsequent model is already planned.

For example, now Xiao Ming and Yang Luo analyzed: "This type of crossbow is still too thick, at the beginning, in order to seek stability, the material was relatively thick, but now it seems that it can be completely miniaturized, and its weight is reduced to make it easier to carry." ”

At the same time, Xiao Ming took a sip of tea and saw that Yang Zhen and Luo Wen were more interested.

"Let's consider the continuous shooting performance of the crossbow in the next step, although there is a Zhuge repeater now, but the lethality is insufficient, which Brother Yang may have experienced." Yang Zhen nodded.

"So I want to make improvements on the basis of this type of crossbow, so that it can shoot three arrows at a time, and can shoot in parts, in actual combat, you can stand behind the shooter, specially pull the crossbow to load the arrows, the front row is finished, the back row immediately hands the crossbow with arrows, and so on, the enemy can not get close at all."

Yang Zhen is very familiar with actual combat, and after hearing Xiao Ming's design, he even said that it was wonderful.

"Brother Xiao is really the pillar of my Great Song Dynasty, he can design such a good crossbow shooting formation, and we can win against the Western Xia cavalry in this way."

Xiao Ming pouted secretly in his heart, the three-stage shooting method of the flintlock pistol in later generations, I just came to the cottage in advance.

The reason why Yang Zhen told them so much is nothing more than to maintain the government's high attention to this kind of bow and crossbow, and to make them realize that the core of the latest technology is still here in Xiao Ming, after all, there is no patent law at this time, and now people are in a hurry to buy you, and when they will imitate you and not recognize you, when to master the core technology and continuously develop new products, are they necessary for the survival of enterprises.

But Xiao Ming also knew that Yang Zhen was still a low-key official after all, and he should still find an opportunity to contact his boss as much as possible, and even fight the relationship to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry in the future, so he expressed his thoughts to Yang Zhen intentionally or unintentionally.

Yang Zhen is a smart person, he immediately realized Xiao Ming's intentions, and he euphemistically mentioned that now the officialdom still has to give gifts, and he has slowly adapted to this set over the years, and he is no longer as frizzy and upright as he was at the beginning.

China has always been a world of human feelings, and it is the same in any era, but what gifts to give, to those people, there is something special about it.

Hangzhou prefect Zhao Ting Zhao Jingheng, is the primary target, for this Lord Zhao, only know that this person is the clan, the specific situation is not clear, just from Luo Wen to inquire about the situation, Luo Wen because of his merit last time, was directly transferred to the Hangzhou Garrison Governor Yan Tan was directly transferred to the Hangzhou Garrison Governor Cheng, and the prefect Zhao also had some contact, inquired about his personality preferences, and did targeted work.

Of course, these things can't be talked about like this, since the business has been negotiated, of course we have to celebrate, and some things have to be talked about at the wine table, so Xiao Ming and Gu Shouzhen made the east, and invited Yang Zhen and Luo Wen to drink and eat.

The restaurant selected this time is one of the best restaurants in Hangzhou: Drunken Star Building! In addition to the city wall, the tallest building in Hangzhou Mansion is this three-story drunken star building.

The society of the Song Dynasty at that time belonged to a typical agricultural society, and it was basically by walking, communicating by roaring, and entertainment by hand...... As soon as it gets dark, basically turn off the lights and close the house, sleep and sleep, and make man and man. If you have nothing to do, light the lamp and chat, sorry the lamp oil is too expensive!

But for the big cities with developed industry and commerce, the situation is slightly different, the nightlife is still very rich, especially in a prosperous place like Hangzhou, there is always a place to provide some money for the rich businessmen to spend money and pastime, but the nightlife can not be endless, the general shop is in the second half of the night, it is also to close, but the drunken star building is different, this is the only comprehensive hotel in Hangzhou that is open all day, that is, it is open 24 hours a day, which is very rare at that time, many night owls can party here all night long, and the rich businessmen from all over the world, the rich son lingers here. (Estimated McDonald's absolutely COPY drunk star building.) ）

Covering an area of dozens of meters of shop, a three-story building, a lobby on the first floor, a single room on the second floor, entertainment and guest rooms on the third floor, a girl who provides gambling equipment and wine, is luxuriously decorated, the grade is very high, and of course the price is also expensive.

But now Xiao Ming and they are not short of money, they came to Zuixing Building to ask for a private room on the second floor, it is now noon, there are not many guests, Xiao Er is very enthusiastic and very attentive.

"Four guest officers, can you be a girl who wants to accompany the wine? This building has an agreement with Hongling Academy, and they can objectively provide new Shu beauties! ”

"Hehe, it's still daytime, these are free, if you have any good wine and good food, just come up, we won't get drunk today!" Yang Zhen is a martial artist, and he shouted straight away.

"Okay! A few guest officers will wait a while, and they will come immediately" Xiao Er ordered to bring tea, a few melon seeds and fruit snacks, and went down to serve the food.

Yang Luo and the others are martial artists, Gu Shouzhen is also a rough person, Xiao Ming is not pretending to be 13 anymore, what special dishes, fishing poetry and wine are all free, all big fish and big meat, wild animals in the mountains, geese in the clouds, cattle and sheep on the road, and sorghum in the north! Let Yang Zhen be hooked.

That Rowan is also a good wine person, the big bowl of sorghum spirits is poured directly down, without frowning, this wine is like a character, or you don't drink it, don't stick a drop, if you want to drink it, don't pinch it, the man's husband is refreshing! Therefore, Xiao Ming felt that Luo Wen could be handed over.

Gu Shouzhen stated that the amount of wine was not good, and after drinking a few bowls of wine, it was already smoky, sitting there and eating vegetables, and the three of them didn't pour him, they drank their own, and chatted while drinking.

"I can't hide it, Brother Yang, I'm going to rely on Brother Gu's refinery to take over the weapons business of the imperial court officials and soldiers, but now there are thousands of land, blast furnaces, craftsmen, equipment, etc., and my foundation is too shallow, so I always need the support of the local gentry and the government, I don't know if Brother Yang has any good suggestions?"

"Brother Xiao, have you forgotten Su Bi and Su Shouchen?" Yang Zhen reminded.

Xiao Ming hurriedly asked.

"Su's Richanglong firm, in the south of the Yangtze River can be said to be a behemoth, the largest business of Richanglong is the silk weaving, the weaving factory of Richanglong produced more than half of the silk of the Great Song Dynasty, the annual tribute to the Liao State 200,000 horses of silk are also Richanglong, the subordinate Sannong silkworm farmers hundreds of thousands, at the same time Richanglong is also involved in papermaking, printing and dyeing, book publishing, recently also involved in the coal and iron business, Yanzhou and Xuzhou coal, Cai Ru Erzhou iron ore by the fleet of Richanglong a large number of transported to the south, At the same time, Richanglong also has several very powerful kiln porcelain firing factories, and Waifu and Dali have come to order. ”

Yang Zhen took a bite of food and continued to squirt: "And the Su family also has a close relationship with the big forces in the capital, isn't such a giant exactly what you want to rely on for your brother?" I, Yang Zhen, a martial artist, if I hadn't had a fateful relationship with Lord Shen Kuo and Shen Cunzhong, who knew him in Yanzhou, how could I know his in-laws Master Su, if it weren't for Master Su's words, I would be a small judge of Beijing, who would listen to me in Hangzhou Mansion! ”

"Wait, Brother Yang, what you said about Shen Cunzhong, but Shen Kuo, who is known as Mengxi's father-in-law?" Xiao Ming hurriedly asked.

"That's right, Lord Shen has served the country and the people all his life, but unfortunately he couldn't display his ambitions, and he died of illness a few years ago!"

"What a pity!" Xiao Ming secretly regretted in his heart, this is a world-renowned scientist! It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to meet each other.

After listening to Yang Zhen's words, Xiao Ming had already begun to ponder, the strength of the Su family's Richanglong was so strong, but it was beyond his expectations, Xiao Ming's feeling at the beginning was not wrong, and being able to marry the Su family seemed to be very beneficial to his Great Song Dynasty survival plan.

"Spinning! Weave! Hehe, a horse of silk and a tael of gold! Xiao Ming is like a mirror in his heart, the Northern Song Dynasty has developed commerce, but the social form of the agricultural country has not changed, in stark contrast to the national textile industry, which is the country's two pillar industries, what to eat without agriculture? What do you wear without the weaving industry? When you don't have food and clothing, what do you have to worry about?

Therefore, the Song Dynasty's tax on the textile industry is very low, the degree of support is not lower than agriculture, every time there is a famine, but also to reduce taxes, and hard regulations, each courtyard shall not be less than five mulberry tree requirements, for the country textile industry is related to the lifeblood of the country, no one dares to despise.

"San! …… Hemp! ”

That's right, hold the mulberry hemp textile industry, the court will not coax you, this is indeed the way to make money! Xiao Ming now has a general understanding of the national economic situation at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and now he wants funds and funds, and he wants connections and connections, so Su Bi begged himself to treat his daughter's illness, of course, he is considered a network, and there is Yang Zhen in the government, can Luo Wen be an insider, just wait for his own thing to be backward, and it can be carried out as planned.

"Thank you Brother Yang for your advice, come! I salute you with a bowl, dry! ”

……

Seeing that a jar of wine was at the bottom, Xiao Ming got up and greeted Xiao Er.

"Another jar of wine!"

Xiao Er came up at this time, his face was a little unnatural, "A few guest officers, I don't know if I can serve other wine, the small shop has a ten-year-old daughter red, and there are good flower carvings?" ”

"We only need this kind of sorghum just now, and I don't want anything else," Yang Zhen was a little dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, a few guest officers, the sorghum wine in this store has been bought all at once, why don't you change to another bar?" Xiao Er said embarrassedly.

"Bang!" Yang Zhen slapped the table, "Okay, you drunken star building, do you think I can't afford to pay the silver?" Use this excuse to prevaricate us? This Yang Zhen may have drunk a little too much, Xiao Ming hurriedly supported him, and just wanted to send Xiao Er away, but at this time, there was a yin and yang strange word at the door of the private room.

"Who should I be, drunk a jar of wine and become like this, and he still boasted that he had a good amount of alcohol, and he had never been drunk in the Northwest! Now let's see it for ourselves, haha......"

Someone is setting up a beam, can it be that if you have to drink some wine and fight, Xiao Ming has a little headache.

As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard a crowd of laughter, and the figures at the door flickered, as if there were three or four people.
