Chapter Seventy-One: The Prince's Visit
At this time, General He on the left suddenly said in a different voice: "How important is my Yutang's military position, and how precious is my Yutang Erlang's life." The kid surnamed Chu, if you don't have real talent and real learning, you can inform me in advance, just take on a false position, and save me a waste of time!"
Chu Yun didn't know how these three people were going to be admitted to him. I secretly thought to myself, if I held a false position, I am afraid that I would rarely have the opportunity to enter the Inner Imperial City in the future, but how to find out the news of the immortal tree?
Presumably, the content of the assessment is nothing more than some military theories, I, Chu Yun, have studied combat command since I was a child, and the military knowledge I have learned is the essence of the major mother planets in the mechanical civilization that has been summarized for tens of thousands of years.
His mind was racing, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "I have read a few military books in Xiapo, as long as I don't test poetry and songs, wind and snow, or something, I still have some confidence in fighting and killing!"
As soon as the words fell, I heard someone outside the door procrastinate and chant loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
The three generals were startled, and immediately got up and wanted to go out to greet them, but someone outside the door laughed loudly: "Wise and rash to visit, General Du should not be surprised!" Then the figure flashed, and a person stepped into the main hall.
This person is about forty years old, wearing an apricot-yellow brocade robe, sword eyebrows and stars, wide mouth, and a graceful bearing.
Chu Yun muttered to himself, that Yu Chengde has reigned for one hundred and forty years, and I am afraid that he must be at least one hundred and sixty years old. The prince is so young, could it be that Yu Chengde is so powerful that he can still create a dragon seed at the age of more than 100?
When the prince entered the palace, he saw that the three generals were there, and then glanced at Chu Yun, was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that the three generals are here, and it is really ashamed to disturb the three official affairs wisely, or you are busy first, and the palace can wait outside the door for the time being!" After speaking, he wanted to turn around and go out.
How dare the three generals let the prince wait outside the door, they immediately warmly retained, and General Du gave up the throne and invited the prince to take a seat.
The wise prince insisted, but General Du had no choice but to order his subordinates to watch the seat and sit on the main seat with the prince.
As a crown prince, this man did not interfere with the work of the officials, and seemed to be a wise man. And treat people kindly, that smile naturally gives people a feeling like a spring breeze, Chu Yun secretly praises himself, at least on the surface, Yu Mingzhi's first impression on him is quite good.
After everyone sat down, the wise prince looked at Chu Yun and asked, "This person is so tight-faced, but he doesn't know where he came from, but he can actually work with three generals to meet at the same time!"
General Zhang replied with a smile: "Back to Your Highness, this person's surname is Chu Mingyun, and he won the staff officer position at the Haiyue Conference a few days ago, and he came to report today and accept the assessment of the three of us!"
The wise prince said: "My Yutang war is tight, and military spending is indeed a little scarce, so Emperor Zu is gracious and allows a small number of official positions to be auctioned." The official position of the Haiyue auction is the first batch, and there will be auctions in other counties one after another, and a large-scale special auction will also be held in Kamiya County. This palace visited General Du today, and it is precisely for this matter that I came!"
Emperor Zu? Prince Wise turned out to be the grandson of Yu Chengde! No wonder he was so young. Chu Yun suddenly realized, but he heard General Du's voice coming, "Please also ask the prince for detailed guidance!"
The wise prince said: "The official auction, in general, is a mixed bag, the good and the bad are mixed, although most of the successful bidders are people with good family backgrounds, but they have not received the education of Shi political army, among which there are many corrupt, mediocre people, and even spies from other countries. If it is not handled well, it may shake the foundation of the country, and we, the officials, must not be careless. ”
General Zhang nodded and claimed yes, but listened to the wise prince continue: "Especially the military position, we must not be careless, it is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people, and the most important is related to the entire campaign, and even the survival of the country! ”
General Du arched his hand and said: "Your Highness's golden and jade good words, we will keep it in mind, and we will do our best, and we dare not disappoint Your Highness's expectations!"
The wise prince smiled, "The three generals don't have to be too modest, since it coincides with the assessment, please continue with the three adults, and listen to the palace, this Chu Yun little friend is extraordinary, maybe he really has the material to go through the heavens and the earth!"
The four of them are high and powerful, and there is no room for Chu Yun to intervene in this politeness. This wise prince behaves politely, and the auction of official positions coincides with the thoughts of the three generals, so it can be seen that he is also a person with a full stomach, not the royal kind of straw bag.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a lot of opportunities, how precious time is, let's make a long story short, I'll start with the question. The kid surnamed Chu, tell everyone, why not win the war?" General He stared at with a pair of big eyes and took the lead in attacking.
Chu Yun studied combat command intensively, and he could come up with a hundred answers to this kind of question at will. However, when he thought of General He's hobby, he instantly had a plan in his heart, and said loudly: "Victory in the war! The so-called powerful soldiers and horses, weapons and horsepower are indispensable. Children armed with divine weapons can easily kill adults with their bare hands. An ordinary bow and arrow can only injure one person, but a siege crossbow can kill hundreds of people in an instant! If it is well equipped, 10,000 people can be worth a million!"
Hearing this, everyone was moved, especially General He.
This person likes divine weapons, Chu Yun's words obviously scratched his itch, and he immediately slapped the table and laughed: "Yes, yes, you kid hit the point, and you can be regarded as passing my Lao He's assessment!"
Chu Yun was also stunned when he passed General He's assessment without thinking about it, but after thinking about it, this Prince Yu was wise just in front of him, and the four of them obviously had important matters to discuss, as long as they answered not too outrageously, it was obvious that these generals did not intend to waste too much time on themselves.
After finishing speaking, General He frowned again, and sighed: "However, this is easier said than done, just the materials for creating divine weapons, this is a big problem!"
Since the prince was listening, Chu Yun's heart moved, and it was an unexpected surprise for him to meet the wise prince today.
As the crown prince of a country, this person must know the news of the immortal tree. And it seems to be a person who loves talents, if he shows off and attracts his attention, maybe he really has a chance to get close to the immortal tree.
General He just sighed slightly, and did not expect Chu Yun to answer. Since Chu Yun had the intention of alarming the prince, he couldn't use this topic to show off the hills and valleys in his chest, so he replied seemingly casually: "The so-called divine weapons are not only limited by materials, forging and design are also very important. As long as you have enough materials, good craftsmen, and ingenious design, how can you not equip the whole army!"
General He was stunned, this kid is not simple, he actually casually said the essence of a divine weapon. Then he asked, "Boy, you're right. But I don't know, how can I have enough materials?"
Everything was just as Chu Yun had imagined, and after listening to his opinions, Prince Wise's eyes flashed, revealing a thoughtful look.
"The so-called divine weapons are nothing more than tough and hard materials! Most of my Yutang's weapons are made of wrought iron, although they are full of toughness, they are not sharp enough. Why not increase the furnace temperature when smelting wrought iron, and the steel mother can be smelted. The hardness of the steel mother is ten times that of wrought iron, and you can easily cut off the enemy's weapons by using it to make a blade!" Chu Yun had secretly visited several weapon shops, and knew that the weapon made by the steel mother was the divine weapon in Yu Tang's mouth, so he deliberately mentioned it in order to attract everyone's attention.
General He sighed: "That's right, the so-called divine weapons are all made of extremely scarce steel mothers. However, at present, most of Yutang smelting uses charcoal or coal essence as fuel, although the cost is low, but its furnace temperature cannot meet the requirements of melting steel mother. If wood spirit is used as fuel, it can increase the furnace temperature and melt the steel mother. However, wood essence is more expensive than gold, but how can it be produced on a large scale? With China's current smelting technology, it can only produce 1,000 catties of steel in a year, which is tantamount to a drop in the bucket for the hundreds of millions of troops in the country, and it is impossible to equip the whole army at all!"
