    Weifu didn't say much at the moment, he just took Bai Zhou and walked towards the city of Basel again.

    This made Bai Zhou a little confused about what to say. He understood that Wei Fu's move was because he had already sent those things that were still shrouded in mystery into the city. But if he had known this, Bai Zhou would have  Why bother making this extra trip?

    When Wei Fu saw Bai Zhou's expression, the corner of his mouth rose slightly: "Young master, you should know that I can't keep such important things outside the city and have them guarded by foreigners. I'm not worried. When I first came here, I already took them away.  They were sent into the city, but at first they saw the young master chatting happily with the prince, so they didn't mention it again."

    Bai Zhou understood that the five thousand foreign soldiers outside the city still needed the lieutenant to handle related matters, so he could not wait in the city all the time. After all, even Bai Zhou didn't know that he would "chat" with Wolfgang at that time.  Until when.  And with Wei Fu's character, he would definitely not mention something that he considered very important in front of a strange foreigner.

    A square in the city of Basel was tightly guarded by Western Qin soldiers. The leader was the newly promoted general Wang Xiaobao. Under the orders of his husband, the square was listed as a restricted area, let alone still in the city.  Other allies, even ordinary soldiers of the Western Qin tribe, cannot come in and out at will.

    Bai Zhou and Wei Fu chatted about Bern along the way.  After all, it is already freezing cold and all construction matters are gradually slowing down, so there is no major event regarding the Xiqin tribe itself.  Although simple houses and tents cannot withstand the cold wind, fortunately, the surrounding forests are extremely rich. As long as the tribesmen are more diligent, there should be no injuries due to the cold.  As for the food and grass of the tribesmen, although it is more abundant than the army's reserves, it is only enough to survive this winter. After this winter, the food problem will still need to be solved by Bai Zhou and others.

    As for the local people in Switzerland, since the Western Qin tribe has expelled most of the local nobles, even if someone wants to stir up trouble, no one can take the lead. In addition, the governance methods are relatively gentle and taxes are not immediately levied, so it is relatively stable.  .  The "equal land rights" initiative was given great hope by Bai Zhou. However, due to manpower problems, it has only been implemented in and around the cities where the Xiqin people and Fiora are stationed. The specifics are  The effect, because the time is still short, Wei Fu has not yet received feedback, let alone Bai Zhou.

    "Young Master, Mr. Wei." Wang Xiaobao saw the two people arriving and immediately stepped forward to salute.

    Bai Zhou nodded, and Weifu also smiled at Xiaobao. There were not many people who could get Weifu's smile. Apart from Bai Zhou, even Weishang or Mengshan, almost all of them were "cold faced" by him.  "Both of them, after all, understand that even Bai Zhou himself cannot understand the difficulty of such a young boy becoming a qualified general in such a short period of time.

    Therefore, his efforts are worthy of Wei Fu¡¯s smile.

    "Let me take you there." Xiaobao scratched his scalp and said in a slightly twitchy voice, "I also want to know what those big guys are."

    Weifu didn¡¯t object, and Bai Zhou naturally wouldn¡¯t say anything more. However, Bai Zhou also heard from Xiaobao¡¯s mouth that this thing was probably quite big.

    When he came to the square, Weifu first looked around, because the square was a relatively open place, and if there were taller buildings around it, then the people inside would have a clear view of what was happening in the square.  If it weren't for the fact that the things he brought this time could only be placed in a relatively open place, Weifu would not have chosen the location here anyway.

    Fortunately, Bern is a fortress building, and the area is barren, so ordinary civilians do not have much spare money to build overly "grand" residences, which are two or three stories high and reach the top, making it impossible to see clearly what is going on in the square.  As for the city walls, Bernese Castle, and the occasional high-rise buildings that can be seen here, they are now guarded by people from the Western Qin Dynasty, so they are not afraid of being looked at by outsiders.

    ????????????? Actually, this is not because the Weifu deliberately hides something secret, hiding something good from his allies.  It was because Wei Fu was not sure whether the allies led by their allies were all magnanimous.

    The people of the Xiqin tribe are easy to tell, and you can tell whether they are from the same tribe just by looking at their faces. However, it is not easy to tell the difference between people from other ethnic groups in Europe. If the Burgundians sneak in, they may not be able to damage anything, but they will not be able to see through it.  What, but it's still a nuisance.

    ¡° Prudence has always been the biggest characteristic of Weifu¡¯s work.

    Baizhou followed Xiaobao into the square and saw dozens of Western Qin soldiers. Under the guidance of a few people, they were carrying what seemed to Baizhou to be nothing more than giant wooden machines, as if they were assembling something.

    Because they had just started working, what Bai Zhou saw were just bits and pieces, and he couldn¡¯t tell what they were.After all, Guo Baizhou is a "well-informed" person. He has never seen a pig running and has always eaten pork. In the Middle Ages, for war, giant trees more than ten meters long were needed, as well as a large number of machines.  Something like that. In addition to a large trebuchet, is it possible to build a Transformer?

    Bai Zhou suddenly discovered that the "technicians" who directed the others to assemble the components, led by the barefoot and linen-clad old man, seemed very familiar. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the manufacturer of the bee-crossbow machine was his old man.

    Yes, it¡¯s him, even if he turns into a gray cypress boat, he will recognize it.  Ah, no, this sentence seems inappropriate to use here, but it can certainly express Bai Zhou's deep impression on him. To be precise, he was deeply impressed by the Bee Crossbow.

    This weapon, which caused big trouble for the Burgundians in the Battle of Basel, is actually quite awkward in its positioning.  Call it weak, its lethality is definitely at the tactical level. As long as it is large enough, it will definitely have no problem in winning or losing a battle; call it strong, its scale is based on the current situation.  It was hopeless. This "old inventor" seemed to only have ambitions in invention, rather than in how to maximize the effectiveness of his inventions. Bai Zhou originally expected that Weifu's visit this time would bring more than ten bees.  Crossbow machine, but looking at it now, the old man seems to be tinkering with something new during this period of time, and he definitely has no intention of putting it on the bee crossbow machine again.

    Let him go, he has such a big white beard, and he must have reached the age when his ears are smooth. He can do whatever he wants. Anyway, as long as the technology is available, the raw materials and manpower can keep up, it doesn't matter how much he makes.  question.  This is Bai Zhou's inner thought.

    After all, this is not a place that pays attention to the four classes of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, especially Bai Zhou, who is not someone who looks down on the so-called clever silver skills. Therefore, Bai Zhou really can't make any special requirements for such technicians.  Just ask not to be idle. As for whether the things you create are useful or not, there will naturally be someone to identify them.  Who knew that the major Bai Zhou studied in school would be useless even in the Republic of China, let alone the Middle Ages.

    However, because there is precedent, Bai Zhou is still very confident in what the old man has built. However, this quantity has always been something Bai Zhou doesn't want to think about.

    "How many of these trebuchets have Mr. brought?"

    ?Compared with defense, things like trebuchets use offense more to break down city walls.  After all, no one can guarantee the accuracy of this thing, even if God himself does not violate Newton's laws, there is nothing he can do.  Moreover, even if it is used for offense, it must be of a large scale to be useful. Bai Zhou glanced at it, and it seemed that compared to the place where parts were stacked, the square seemed too spacious To put it bluntly, at most it was  Parts of two trebuchets.

    "There is only one."

    Wei Fu said a number that made Bai Zhou even more worried.

    "However, it is not an ordinary trebuchet, but a return cannon!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    PS: It¡¯s true. I haven¡¯t seen a pig running for many years now, but I have eaten pork.
