The Zangjin Building was not Hu Wei's first choice, because he felt that it was more reliable to build arrows or a blacksmith shop. But I didn't expect that the blacksmith shop here would only make farm tools and some simple kitchen knives, and had little ability for arrows.

In fact, Hu Wei has just arrived in the imperial capital, and he is not very familiar with this, and it is normal to not know the reason for this. The blacksmith shop in the imperial capital had not been so unbearable before. Not only can they craft arrows, but they have also created many famous weapons. As a southern town, the handicraft industry here is quite developed.

Since Dragon City became the imperial capital, all walks of life have entered a period of rapid development, but the blacksmith industry, which makes a living by making weapons, has entered a bottleneck. Because the imperial capital is quite strict in the management of weapons, it is a felony to hide more than three knives in ordinary people. Therefore, there are naturally fewer people who come to build weapons. In order to survive, blacksmiths who make a living by making weapons are transferred to other places and start anew. The second is to stay here and turn to make agricultural tools or ornaments. After twenty or thirty years of evolution, the imperial capital naturally has no masters who build weapons.

When Hu Wei entered the Tibetan Golden Building, there were many men and women in it choosing what they liked. Men and women in the Mandala Empire were relatively equal, so it was normal for women to go out on the streets, join the army, and even engage in various business operations. Compared with the ancient times in Hu Wei's impression, this place is not so feudal.

"Yo, the guest officer is here. Please come here. "The shopkeeper saw the business coming to the door and came up to entertain him very warmly.

The scale of this Tibetan gold building is indeed not small, and there are as many as seven or eight receptionists like Xiaoer in the shop.

The shopkeeper followed Hu Wei around a few times, and saw that Hu Wei didn't have anything he liked, so he asked, "I don't know what the guest officer wants to do?"

Hu Wei asked, "Well, I'm just going to take a look at random, what do you have here?"

The shopkeeper introduced: "Guest officer, you can just ask, our gold collection building is the largest gold shop in the imperial capital." We not only have a variety of finished products for customers to choose from, but also can design and create their favorite things according to customer requirements. ”

When Hu Wei heard the words of the shopkeeper, his heart moved. The craftsmanship of the gold shop is much higher than that of the blacksmith, and if they can really make the finished product according to the requirements, then it is completely possible to create the arrows they need.

Hu Wei asked tentatively: "If it is a drawing that you brought yourself, can your craftsmen also create it?"

Wang Er said angrily: "Listening to the accent, the guest officer should not be from the imperial capital." It's not that I, Wang Er, boasted, you go to the street and ask someone casually, how old is our Tibetan Gold Building. To put it irreverently, when we hid the Golden Tower, there was no Mandala Empire!

As long as you can get the drawings, no matter what you want to build, we can build it for you. ”

Hu worried: "What if I want to build weapons or something?"

"Not to mention weapons, even chariots have been built in our gold building. Thinking that Emperor Taizu attacked Langtian City for a long time, he couldn't attack it for a long time, and there was no way, so he offered a reward to the whole country and asked for a plan to attack the city, but after three months, no one dared to take it. And guess what?" Wang Er said here, and began to sell Guanzi.

Hu Wei is an old man, how could he not know Wang Er's little measure, but he really wanted to know the strength of this Tibetan Golden Building, so he had to follow Wang Er's meaning and asked, "What happened later?"

Wang Er nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Hu Wei with a teachable look, and then asked, "Have you ever heard of thunderbolts?"

Of course, Hu Wei of Thunderbolt has heard of it, although he is not a baggage army, but he has been in the Blizzard Legion for so long, and he doesn't even know the Thundercrow at the top of the Daimyo, so what kind of soldier is he?

The thunderbolt is a siege weapon. Speaking of thunderbolts, everyone may still be very unfamiliar, because this is the name given by Emperor Taizu, although it is domineering, it does not show its characteristics. If you talk about his other name, everyone knows how it is used as soon as you hear it.

Another name for a thunderbolt is called a trebuchet. It smashed stones weighing thousands of pounds into the city's heads. Thousands of pounds of boulders falling from the sky, that's no joke. If you knock it out, you will die, if you touch it, you will be injured, and the city wall can be smashed down. Its power can be seen in general.

Hu Wei nodded and said, "Of course." ”

Xiao Er asked again, "Then do you know who built the thunderbolt car in the first place?"

Hu Wei replied patiently: "I heard that it is a person named Lu You. ”

To be honest, this shopkeeper is quite annoying. It's not that he's poor, but that every word this guy says, he likes to let people guess, so as to show that he knows more than others.

Wang Er ignored the dissatisfaction in Hu You's tone, and asked again, "Then do you know who Lu You is?"

"I don't know. Hu Wei shook his head and said. In fact, after listening to Xiao Er say so much, he had already vaguely guessed that this Lu You must have something to do with the Zangjin Building. A person with a character like Wang Er, Hu Wei has seen too many when he was running the rivers and lakes.

This kind of person, you have to give him a chance to show himself. Otherwise, he will go even further, and he will not show his cleverness until you can't answer. If you want him to say it, you have to make him feel like he's smart enough.

"Haha" Seeing that Hu Wei couldn't answer, Wang Er laughed proudly: "Sue you, Master Lu Youlu, who is the owner of our Tibetan Gold Building." ”

"I don't know if I can" Hu Wei had already figured out this guy's temper, and deliberately only said half of it.

"You want to see our landlord?"

"Exactly. ”

Wang Er's head shook his head like a rattle: "That's not good, our landlord hasn't seen guests for many years, unless there is some exquisite design, otherwise he won't see you." ”

Hu Wei took out the blueprint of the sun-changing arrow, and stuffed it into Wang Er's hand together with a gold coin.

"Little second brother, you can help me hand over this drawing to Master Lu You. I think Master Lu should meet me. ”

Wang Erben wanted to refuse when he opened his mouth, but when he touched something under the drawings, he was reluctant. As the person who hid the gold building, Wang Er only touched it with his hand, and knew that Hu Wei had stuffed a gold coin.

"Okay, seeing that you're so sincere, I'll try it for you. But I can say it, the landlord can't see you, I can't guarantee it. ”

Wang Er has been obsessed with a woman in a green building these days, and he is worried about not knowing where to get money to meet. This small fortune that fell out of thin air is enough to go to the Qinglou a few times. In order to meet his lover, Wang Er was out of the way this time, even if he was scolded by the landlord, he would take this gold coin.

As long as this Wang Er is willing to help hand over the drawings, Hu Wei thinks that he is half the battle. He had enough confidence in the Sunchange Bow.

After a while, the second king came back, and looking at his bitter face, Hu Wei knew that things were not good. Sure enough, Wang Er stuffed the drawings into Hu Wei's hand and said, "The landlord doesn't see you." ”

Hu Wei couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"The landlord said, this is just an ordinary arrow. Maybe the folding bow was good, but he wasn't interested in the arrow. ”

Hu Wei suspected that this Wang Er and Ben didn't give the drawings to Lu You, but when he heard this, he knew that although this Wang Er liked to play some tricks, the drawings were indeed handed over. Because when Hu Wei drew this arrow, he did not indicate what kind of arrow it was, and people who did not have some skills could not see that this was an arrow with a folding bow.

The more difficult it is to see this Lu You, the more Hu Wei wants to see him. Now Hu is thinking about more than just trying to build arrows. He thinks further.

This Lu You was able to invent the Thunderbolt car, which shows that his construction process is quite good. If you can have such a talent under your subordinates, then it will be of great use.

If someone knew what Hu Wei was thinking at this time, they would definitely scold him for not being able to do anything. He is a team leader, and he actually dared to give birth to the idea of accepting Master Lu You as his banner, this is not what he can't do. You must know that with Lu You's status, even the current emperor Valencia may not be able to make Lu You obedient.

Lu You has always acted according to his preferences, unexpectedly, except for liking design and creation, he doesn't care about money, power and fame. At the age of eighteen, he created a thunderbolt car and became famous all over the world. How many people in the Heavenly Wind Continent wanted to take him for their own use, but they didn't succeed. Even Emperor Taizu once said privately that Lu You is a person, it is easy to kill, but it is difficult to think about it.

Hu You's mind was full of thoughts about how to make Lu You use it for himself, and he didn't even know when he would get out of the Tibetan Golden Tower.

"Hu Wei, Hu Wei" was patted on the shoulder a few times, and Hu Wei came back to his senses.

"Hu Wei, what's wrong with you? you won't be again" Momiji asked Hu Wei with a worried face. She thought Hu Wei was sick again.

"It's fine. Hu Wei shook his head.

"It scared the hell out of me. Momiji patted his chest and said, "What were you thinking just now, I called you several times, but you didn't react." ”

Hu Wei didn't answer Hongye's question, and pointed to a teahouse not far away: "Do you have anything urgent, if you have time, sit with me." ”

"Hmm. ”

The two asked for a pot of tea and sat opposite each other. Hu Wei has been thinking about whether to tell Hongye about the Golden Tower. There are also many people who can think of one more way. At this time, Momiji asked about Hu Wei looking for someone to make arrows. Hu Wei gritted his teeth and simply said it.

After listening to Hu Wei's narration, Hongye asked in surprise, "What, you want Lu You to help you do things?"

"Yes. Hu Wei nodded.

If this matter were changed to an ordinary woman, she would definitely say that Hu Wei was whimsical, or that it was impossible. But Momiji didn't do that. Although Hu Wei never said it, she knew that Hu Wei's psychology had always hidden lofty ideals. This is also the reason why she gave Hu Wei the family heirloom sun-changing bow.

Momiji is a smart woman, and she knows that the reason why Hu Wei told her about this is because she believes in her and wants to get help from her, so Momiji will never attack Hu Wei at this time.

But Hongye knows that with Hu Wei's current strength, not to mention that it is impossible to subdue Lu You, even if he thinks of a way, let Lu You follow him willingly. Now it can't play the role of Lu You. This will not only not be good for Hu Wei, but will bring huge problems, and if you don't get it right, you will have to worry about your life. So she had to make Hu Wei give up this idea for the time being.

Hongye made a good word in his mind, and then said, "This idea of yours is very good, a craftsman like Lu You, if he can use it well, it will definitely greatly improve the combat power of the army."

But there's one thing I don't quite understand. Do you want to get Lu You back and use it for the Wing or the Blizzard Legion, or for you alone?"

The problem of autumn leaves seems to be light, but the things hidden inside are not simple. She asked, first, to test how ambitious Hu Wei was. If Hu Wei just wanted to be promoted, then after he subdued Lu You, he introduced him to Link, and at least he would be promoted to the next level immediately. This shows that Hu Wei's ambition is not big enough.

One more point, Momiji wants to know Hu Wei's trust in him. You must know that if Hu Wei answers, he will take Lu You for his own use. When this word spreads, it is suspected of rebellion. The country of the Mandala Empire was originally obtained by rebellion, and it is very taboo about this. If the defendant is arrested, although it will not kill the head, but if you want to be promoted, it is not possible. Therefore, it is not a person who absolutely trusts, and this kind of thing will never dare to be said.

Red leaves are smart, but these small measurements are just a little clever for old rivers and lakes like Hu Wei. He saw through Momiji's thoughts at a glance. Not only did Hu Wei not get angry, but he was secretly happy in his heart, he had always wanted to tie the red leaves to his chariot. Now that the opportunity has come to the door, of course Hu Wei will not let it go.

Hu Wei looked around left and right, and saw that the person closest to them was also ten meters away, and he would never listen to their conversation, so he said to Hongye: "I admire Emperor Taizu's merits quite a lot, if you have the opportunity, you should follow suit." So you should know my answer!"

Since you want to say it, let's say it bigger, so big that Momiji is shocked when he hears it.

Emperor Taizu Rijkaard's greatest achievement was to lead a rebellion, overthrow the Bauhinia Empire of the previous dynasty, and become emperor himself. To emulate him is to sit on the throne like him.

When Momiji heard Hu Wei's words, his face changed. She never thought that Hu Wei was not only so ambitious, but also dared to say it to her face.

"How dare you" Momiji tried her best to keep her voice low so as not to let herself scream.

Hu Wei took a sip of tea and said lightly: "What is there to dare to do." Rijkaard can even overthrow the Bauhinia Empire, which has been inherited for thousands of years, and this thirty-eight years of Mandala Empire is nothing. ”

Finally speaking out his ambitions, Hu Wei felt like his whole body was flushed with a bucket of cold water on a June day, which was extremely refreshing. This thought, he only dared to think in his heart before, but now he dares to say it, which gives him the confidence to succeed.

The longer he came here and the more things he saw, the clearer Hu Wei knew that this Mandala Empire seemed to be powerful, but there were very strict problems inside. From the storybook given by Taishi Gong, Hu Wei learned that this new empire, which was only thirty-eight years old, was even worse than the overthrown previous dynasty.

Thinking of this, Hu Wei continued:

"Governing the country by military is a mistake. In addition to Rijkaard's deliberateness, the military and local forces have become opposed to each other, which is even more wrong.

In my opinion, Rijkaard, despite his fame, is not worthy of his name. He didn't have an iron heart, and he sat on the throne of the founding emperor with Ben Bupei.

Rijkaard deliberately discorded the military and the locality, which was clever, but it was actually indecisive. He thought that in this way, he could let the generals at all levels who followed him to fight the country and their children restrain each other, so as to make his family's throne stable. But he didn't think that the best way was to hide the bird's bow.

Maybe he thought about it, but he didn't do it, so he would leave this huge hidden danger for the empire. A small Nabapo mob, both the military and the local, could not be solved quickly, and once there was a war, the consequences were predictable.

Such an emperor, such an empire, I am worried about replacing it, what is wrong. Since sooner or later it is going to fall, it would be better to rebuild a new empire under my hands. ”
