The gentle yin wind blows like a fragrance garden.

The black-feathered cranes raised in the garden made a loud crane song in the wind. There are also a few cranes that simply ride the wind and flutter their wings, jumping up, so happy.

Several palace people and palace maids have already taken Xiao Fucha, the little master, and Xiao Fulei, the son who can only sit in a small cart and can't walk, to the waterside in the garden to watch the fish.

Xiao Shizhu's guard, the black monkey, also jumped on a ghost tree on the rockery by the water, overlooking the little lord and the little boy not far from the tree, and protected the lord and the little boy according to Xiao Shizhu's requirements.

And in the towering main building, the flowers compete in the wind and do not let each other. But those colorful birds are very quiet today, not noisy or noisy, and they are all busy napping and sleeping.

Even Tengu Daihua was a little sleepy, and went around to the screen behind the throne of Xiao Shizhu and the Ghost Mother, found a quiet corner and lay down, curled up, and fell asleep.

And the two phoenixes raised by the ghost mother were not half sleepy and tired, but jumped on the top of the screen, led the neck probe over, tilted their heads slightly, and looked at Xiao Shizhu curiously.

"You go and arrange this matter quickly, and let Jin Ti quickly hand over the work of patrolling the palace gate and take office. Xiao Shizhu, who stopped writing, put down the red pen in his hand as he said this, and put the red pen of the jade pen tube on the pen stand.

The two phoenixes looked curiously for a long time, then shrank their heads back and combed their wing feathers.

"No. Lin Cong responded, but he didn't mean to get up and say goodbye, just after a pause, he continued to say to Xiao Shizhu's ghost mother: "There is one more thing; ”。

Even though there were only three of them in this building, Lin Cong still subconsciously lowered his voice and did not announce it loudly.

Say. Xiao Shizhu hurriedly nodded slightly.

He had seen about it in several newspapers about ten days ago. At first, Xiao Shizhu didn't care about the day he received the secret report, but someone was dizzy and asked for a few bows, so he naturally didn't pay attention to it. But after thinking about it, I felt that this matter did not seem to be simple, and there seemed to be no strange behind it, but there were some hidden clues.

The Nine Shadows Country is vast and rich, and it is no longer the projectile island of the past. Now there are many kinds of things in this land that are more valuable and practical than the Nine Shadow Bows. But why is there someone who is willing to pay 3,000 gold to receive a Nine Shadows Bow that can only hunt?

Xiao Shizhu's suspicions together, after thinking about it carefully, remembered that he had read all the history books in the world, and there was really a plan similar to it.

Xiao Shizhu thought about this more and more carefully, and after pondering for a long time, Xiao Shizhu suddenly found that the ghost who bought the bow was nothing more than to lure the ghost people of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Under the lure of heavy money, the ghosts will immediately make a large number of Nine Shadow Bows when they see that they are profitable, but if they miss the agricultural time, it is impossible for the grain to be harvested in a few months, and for a while, the grain reserves in the country will decline rapidly, and prices will rise, and the finances and economy of the Nine Shadows Country will be dragged down immediately.

Xiao Shizhu immediately made a decision and asked Lin Cong to investigate the matter secretly. Lin Cong is really capable, and within a few days, he found out the ins and outs of some of the inside stories in the matter.

"The king is wise. Lin Cong responded, and hurriedly replied: "You guessed that day, this matter may have been instructed by the Beiyin Dynasty behind the scenes, and the minister was ordered to investigate again, and it was really the Beiyin Dynasty who was behind the scenes." The matter that has been ascertained has been ascertained, and this matter is now under the sole responsibility of the Reincarnation King, and he only reports to the old ghost of Xudu, and all actions are still the secrets of the Northern Yin Dynasty. The matter of how many people are going to buy and how many bows will be sent is still being secretly investigated, and it will take some time. ”。

When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he gradually lost his interest and curiosity, this was something he had already guessed, after all, in the entire Netherworld Mansion, only a wealthy ghost country could do this kind of thing that consumed a lot of gold and silver.

Counting and counting, now in this Yin Cao Underworld, among the six seas and ten continents, there are only the Nine Hidden Kingdoms and the Northern Yin Dynasty, and there is so much money.

Therefore, it must be the Northern Yin Dynasty, and it is behind it.

"Not long after the signing of this peace treaty, the Beiyin Dynasty took advantage of the treaty loophole and stumbled behind it. After Xiao Shizhu thoughtfully said these speculations, the ghost mother immediately covered her face with anger, snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you catch a few Beiyin Dynasty ghosts who came to buy bows and arrows to interrogate and interrogate, and give Xudu a charge of destroying peace!"

What she said was also a solution, and Lin Cong nodded yes after thinking for a while. But Xiao Shizhu was silent, that is, he did not agree, nor did he deny it.

It's just that seeing that Lin Cong has nothing to report, Xiao Shizhu just sent him down first, and then pondered again.

This move of the Northern Yin Dynasty is really a bit yin and vicious, there are needles hidden in the cotton, and there is no blood in the murderous heart. No matter how big and rich the Nine Shadows Kingdom is, and the treasury is full, it can't withstand such a plan and toss it several times.

While Xiao Shizhu was pondering, he didn't forget to put this damn Beiyin Dynasty horse more than a dozen times in his heart.

But Xiao Shizhu was still calm, he knew that cursing could not scold the Beiyin Dynasty to death, and soon thought of countermeasures and methods.

Seeing that her husband was silent, the ghost mother simply picked up a book and read it first.

But he was also careless, thinking about how to deal with and crack the tricks of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

After a long time, Xiao Shizhu slowly opened his mouth, and he didn't say a solution, but just shouted at the open door: "Qinglan." ”。

After the words landed, Na Qinglan trotted to the building, stood in front of the recital, and bowed slightly.

"You go and call Lu Wu and Chunyun. And Xiao Shizhu still didn't say a way, but after explaining to Qinglan in front, he put his hands behind his head and leaned on the back of the throne chair.

The ghost mother turned her head to see that Xiao Shizhu's brows, which had been locked for a long time, had already relaxed.

It seems that Xiao Shizhu has already thought of a way, and the ghost mother is at ease, no longer thinking about it or asking anything, and continues to flip through the notebook at hand.

After a while, Qinglan invited Lu Wu and Chunyun, who had come in a hurry, to the building. Na Chen Ruo also followed, packed up the teacup that Lin Cong had used before and walked out.

"Sit. After Lu Wu and Chunyun saluted, Xiao Shizhu invited them to sit down.

At the same time, Qinglan also bowed and withdrew.

Chunyun and Lu Wu sat down in front of the recital on the left and right, and before they sat down, Xiao Shizhu had already opened his mouth and said: "I remember that in the Winter Palace, there is a bow division, which was formulated when the official system of our country was formulated. However, because our sergeants used crossbows and firebolts as long-range weapons, the Bow Division was removed by me. ”。

"yes. Lu Wu nodded and replied, but his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't know how Xiao Shizhu brought up the old matter again.

"At that time, some craftsmen who could make bows and crossbows were registered in the country, and most of the crossbow craftsmen were invited by Mrs. Lai to join the ordnance supervision in various places to develop firearms. Chunyun took over and said to Xiao Shizhu: "Most of the ghosts who can make bows later have changed careers. ”。

"Well, how many people can make the Nine Shadows Bow now?" Xiao Shizhu asked with a nod.

"It's not clear. Under Xiao Shizhu's inquiring gaze, Chunyun thought for a long time and replied: "There are many ghosts who can make the Nine Shadows Bow, and they have already changed careers, and now if you want to know how many ghosts can do it, you have to recount and make a record to know." ”。

In the early years of the Nine Shadows, in order to ensure grain production and reserves, it was stipulated that farmland should not be abandoned at will. Once these craftsmen who make bows and arrows switch to agriculture, there are no special circumstances that make it impossible to change careers, and Chunyun also knows this.

Once most of these craftsmen changed careers and became farmers, went to pick chrysanthemums under the fence, and lived a pastoral life, it was impossible to make bows now, let alone abandon farming at will and make bows again.

This is illegal in the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

"Find out the roster of these ghosts, recount them and see how many ghosts can make the Nine Shadows Bow and have not changed careers, all of them will be gathered together first and the Bow Man Division will be rebuilt. Xiao Shizhu then said categorically to Chunyun and Lu Wu: "Tell them that after they enter the Bow People Division, they don't have to worry about their livelihood, even if the Bow People Division is disbanded in the future, the ghost yamen in their hometowns will solve their work problems for them." ”。

Hearing this, Lu Wu and Chunyun both felt that it had come suddenly, and they were inexplicable, and they looked at each other.

I don't know what Xiao Shizhu is going to do? After all, the Nine Shadows Army doesn't use bows and arrows to fight, and even the Fusang ghosts who came over and are good at archery don't use longbows and heavy bows to fight now, and they all use fire guns instead.

The Nine Shadows Bow is nothing more than the use of some ghost people who still make a living from hunting, but there are not many of them, there are many places in the Nine Shadows Country, hunters have already raised their prey, and then developed it into pastures, expanding breeding, it is better than going to the mountains to eat and sleep in the open for a few days and nights, or even months to get a little bit of beast soul skin and meat. Naturally, it is impossible to use too many bows and arrows.

So Chunyun and Lu Wu really don't know what Xiao Shizhu is going to do when he reorganizes the Bow Division?

Only the ghost mother, who had probably guessed what Xiao Shizhu was going to do, smiled without saying a word, and continued to look through the notebook in her hand by herself.

"King, Lu Wu dared to ask, what are you going to do here?" After being stunned for a moment, Lu Wu turned his head, and a confused gaze burst out of his eyes, and it fell directly on Xiao Shizhu's calm face.

"A rich country and a strong people. Xiao Shizhu smiled and said slowly to Na Lu Wu with interest: "I heard that someone in my country spent a lot of money to buy a large number of Nine Shadow Bows, and one of them can be priced at three thousand taels of gold. Don't you want to do such a good deal?".

"And this kind of thing?" Lu Wu and Chunyun slowly opened their eyes.

Obviously, they don't know about it yet.

"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu nodded heavily, and then said: "Reorganize the Bow Man Division, gather these ghosts to make the Nine Shadows Bow, and then take them out and sell them." We will divide the money equally with the craftsmen, and we will divide it fifty-fifty. Half of the money received by the craftsman and half by the court. Of course, the materials used to make bows and arrows were financed by the imperial court. You see that in this way, is it possible that the craftsman who can make the Nine Shadows Bow can make a profit, and the imperial court can also make a profit. ”。

Lu Wu and Chunyun thought secretly for a moment, and after glancing at each other again, Chunyun took the lead in speaking, and said thoughtfully: "That's right, but now there are only a few ghosts that can make the Nine Shadows Bow." ”。

"It's okay, your summer palace immediately went and ordered that from today onwards, in order not to leak weapons, the people are not allowed to know the bow and arrow without permission. Xiao Shizhu, who didn't care about this question, waved his hand and said, "If the bow and arrow required by Orion are damaged, you can use the broken and damaged bow and arrow to exchange for a brand new bow and arrow in various parts of the ordnance superintendent. Then set up the Bow Man Division, specializing in making bows and arrows, mainly the Nine Shadow Bows, and sell them to those ghosts who worked tirelessly and traveled thousands of miles to buy bows with a lot of money. ”。
