    ??????????????????????????????? But everyone stepped aside in a wise manner, making room for His Royal Highness to perform his archery skills.

    Shi Baoxiang knew about His Highness's two brushes. The young master of the Wang family was a little weak, and the royal family's tutors were supposed to pay attention to the Six Arts of a Gentleman. I heard that the Supreme Emperor Zhao Min was determined to make a northern expedition in his early years, and once practiced bows and arrows to show his martial prowess. Under the influence of the Supreme Emperor, His Highness  I have also practiced bows and arrows, but His Highness's shooting skills are really not good enough. I don't know why he dares to try his skills in public today. Aren't he afraid of appearing ugly?

    The next moment, His Highness easily pulled away what looked like a crossbow. Shi Baoxiang thought to himself, it turned out to be a soft bow for fun. No wonder a weak scholar like His Highness dared to appear. You  Not to mention, His Highness's bow-aiming posture is quite impressive. It is worthy of being trained by a master. However, he is too weak and is not naturally good at archery. Looking at this situation, the distance he can shoot with this soft bow is also very small.  It's just forty or fifty steps. After fifty steps, it's just that I can't wear that thing, oh, "deer paste?!?", it's just that the word "Lu Guo" is too high-end, Shi Baoxiang is like this  The big boss naturally didn't know the truth.

    His Highness took aim for a moment, and then suddenly loosened the string. To Shi Baoxiang's surprise, the arrow shot out with a whooshing sound. According to Shi Baoxiang's experience, this arrow must have been shot by a strong bow, so it was so sharp.  So strong.  What's going on, a soft bow can actually shoot with such momentum!

    His Highness's arrow shot out. Shi Baoxiang could clearly see that the arrow flew over the upper right side of the target and disappeared.

    Immediately I heard the flattery sound next to me:

    "His Highness is truly a miraculous power. With just one shot, he actually passed the target. It seems that the target was placed a little too close. It has to be further away in order to claim His Highness's miraculous power."

    Zhao Huan chuckled, thinking that the flattery was a bit too much, but at this time he covered up his embarrassment very well. This person is determined to win when he opens his mouth, and he knows how to change things.  Zhao Huan looked back and saw that this person was standing next to Han Yuzhou. Yes, Mao Geng's group of "returnees" would probably not be so flattering.

    Zhao Huan originally wanted to shoot one or two more arrows, but then he changed his mind and beckoned:

    "Shi Baoxiang, come and try."

    "Shi Baoxiang's shooting skills are the best among the guards. Zhao Juan thought to himself, "Returnees" said it well, professional things should be done by professionals. Today's face seems to have to be saved by his own men.

    Shi Baoxiang is very obsessed with weapons. As soon as His Highness ordered his general, he immediately stepped forward and took the crossbow with both hands.

    Zhao Jue ordered a general, and naturally he ordered a master of archery. Mao Geng was also looking forward to it. He didn't know if the players carefully selected by Zhao Jue could handle this steel wire crossbow.  Looking at Ma Fen, Ma Fen also had a faint smile on his face. The smile was a bit funny, as if he couldn't bear to watch someone jump into the pit.

    Shi Baoxiang¡¯s first arrow was also shot high, and it passed the upper edge of the target. Shi Baoxiang shot the second arrow again, but it was a little lower. It seemed that it was overkill and it was appropriate to use it on this strong guard.

    The young man's face began to turn red. This was a huge embarrassment. It was not only an embarrassment to himself, but also to His Highness.

    "It doesn't matter, it will be like this when you first use this kind of steel wire pulley bow. This kind of bow does not need to be stretched vigorously, and the force feels very different. The arrows shot have a faster muzzle velocity and a flatter parabola. If you shoot it twice more, it will be fine.  ." Of course Ma Fen would not be bored enough to see this young man's jokes, so he promptly reminded him.  The control methods of the wire pulley bow are very different. If you don't get used to it, you won't be able to play it.

    After Shi Baoxiang shot two arrows, he already had some insights. When Ma Fen said it from the side, although he didn't know what a "parabola" was, he still understood half of what Ma Fen said.  Then I calmed down and drew my bow again. This time, I got it. Although I failed to hit the red heart, I finally hit the target.  After shooting the sixth arrow, Shi Baoxiang finally regained the feeling of shooting before. The next few arrows almost hit the red heart.

    "Strong man, how do you like this bow?" It was Lu Jiuyuan who asked. Seeing Zhao Jue's face turn from gloomy to clear, Lu Jiuyuan asked.

    "Good bow! What a good bow!" Shi Baoxiang has always been a clumsy speaker. Apart from talking about "good bow", he can no longer find any other words.

    Lu Jiuyuan took the bow and looked at it carefully. He found that this bow had several differences from the last one. It should be a new and improved version of the bow.  Naturally, Lu Jiuyuan also brought an archer. He immediately ordered the archer to try shooting. The archer had shot a similar bow before, so the first arrow was able to hit the target. From then on, he shot better and better."How is this bow?" This time it was Zhao Lu who asked.

    But this man gave it to him verbally, and immediately listed the advantages of this kind of bow, such as it does not consume physical strength, the archer can maintain long-lasting long-range shooting ability, etc., and it is not affected at all in rainy days, etc., unlike old-fashioned crossbows.  , in rainy days, the power will be greatly reduced.  All in all, this bow is a good bow. Apart from the problem of being difficult to maintain, it is really a super good bow that everyone loves.

    Mao Geng felt indescribably happy after hearing this.

    However, Mao Geng is not satisfied with this.

    Next, Shi Baoxiang opened his eyes again.  After Shi Baoxiang followed Zhao Luan and walked fifty steps to the right, Shi Baoxiang saw a bed crossbow, but there were some strange mechanisms installed on this bed crossbow, which Shi Baoxiang didn't understand.  This time Shi Baoxiang had no chance to go into battle. He saw a man who looked like a Sakhalin soldier stepped forward, installed a heavy crossbow with a thick arm, then pulled a pole, pulled it into his arms, and then fell back.  Pulling it further into his arms, he saw that the thick bow string was being pulled back little by little. Before Shi Baoxiang could react, the bow string was pulled into place. Looking back at the process of stretching the string just now, it seemed that he was pulling it back into his arms.  Just one time, the bow string was tightened a little, but it didn't loosen when it was turned back, which was surprising.

    When the heavy crossbow arrows shot out from his thick arm, Shi Baoxiang finally came to his senses from his confusion.  Oh my God!  This bed crossbow had to be strung by at least eight people in the past, but now, it can be easily done by one person. It is really shocking.

    Shi Baoxiang only heard Chief Mao and General Ma saying "wheels?!" or "how many wheels!?" He had heard of "lever". Of course, Shi Baoxiang had no place to hear about the profession of "ratchet"  No matter how he explained the vocabulary, Shi Baoxiang felt dizzy when he listened to it. Then he remembered that he was responsible for protecting the king, so he simply acted on the alert. In this way, those strange vocabulary and strange principles would no longer exist.  It seemed so harsh.

    Okay, this perverted bed crossbow is already amazing, but what¡¯s even more amazing is yet to come.

    Shi Baoxiang followed over a mountain col and saw several iron tubes standing there diagonally.

    His Royal Highness the County Prince and Mr. Han, Mr. Lu, were reminded by Chief Mao to keep a distance from the iron cylinders. Then, they saw two soldiers wearing colorful Kuye military uniforms coming to one of the iron cylinders.  I saw one person playing with the iron tube, and the other person stuffed a strange-shaped iron guy into the iron tube. With a bang, the strange-looking iron guy came out of the iron tube with a harsh whistling sound.  The tube turned into a small black dot in the blink of an eye, and then there was a bang, oh, no, it was an explosion.

    Well, it hit a four-wheeled carriage. The four-wheeled carriage with the draft horses had been placed there for a long time. There was a roar, and when the smoke cleared, in Shi Baoxiang's surprised eyes, the entire carriage fell apart.  Know how many pieces of wood are scattered in a radius of ten paces.

    Shi Baoxiang was still regretting a moment ago: What a wonderful carriage, how could it be smashed into pieces like this!  The next moment, Shi Baoxiang realized: Mother!  This iron cylinder with a weird iron guy is amazing!  What word would you use to describe it?  brutal?  !

    While everyone was talking about "fighting mortars" one by one, Shi Baoxiang watched the mortar test firing performance carefully prepared by Mao Geng in a daze.  Shi Baoxiang saw with his own eyes that the reindeer, which was originally bouncing around, was hit by the "pounce cannon". The reindeer's strong body twitched a few times and then stopped moving.  Those two reindeer weighed more than a hundred pounds each. Well, maybe two hundred pounds. Think about it, if a person was hit by this "pounce cannon", wouldn't it be ¡ª¡ª, wouldn't it?  His life is over too!

    The effect of the performance obviously exceeded expectations.

    Back in the conference room, Lu Jiuyuan couldn¡¯t wait to ask about the production of mortars:

    "Yisheng, let me ask you, how many of these mortars can be made in a month?"

    "If we hurry up, we can make 50 guns in a month. Cannon barrels are difficult to make, and the output of artillery shells is not high. If we can produce 1,000 shells in a month, it will be good."

    "Yisheng, I'll order 100 of these cannons first. What's the price? It's agreed, but you can't open your mouth like a lion."

    Facing the Minister of the Military Equipment Department of the Song Dynasty, Mao Geng thought to himself, we have actually agreed on the price a long time ago, but given Mr. Xiangshan's urgent mood today, it makes no sense for us not to increase the price. The original price of 500 yuan is too much for us.  Report a little, who told Sakhalin's military budget to suddenly double!

    "A 60-meter mortar, 630 shots, and a shell, 30 shots."

    "Yisheng, I also know that it costs money to deal with the Jin soldiers, and it costs money to recruit manpower from the Song Dynasty. However, it can't be a one-time deal! Let's do it like this, a cannon costs 500, I want 200, 18  Guan, I want 10,000 pieces. Delivery in three months, how about?"

    Hearing this from Lu JiuyuanAfter a counteroffer, Mao Geng felt happy, but on the surface he still had to be calm, so he deliberately asked:

    "Mr. Xiangshan, why are we in such a hurry! You know, we are short of raw materials and labor here, the machines are also being debugged, and the production capacity cannot be increased."

    Of course Lu Jiuyuan has a reason to be anxious, but he can't reveal it now, otherwise he will be manipulated by Mao Geng.  Although it was an old friendship, they were now buyers and sellers. Although Mao Geng was not too dark-hearted, Sakhalin Island now had to spend money everywhere. Once Mao Geng was forced by money, he might plot against the officials of the Song Dynasty.

    Lu Jiuyuan immediately said:

    "Yisheng, don't worry. You can get as many iron ingots as you want. As for the manpower, the more than 100 people I brought will work as voluntary workers for you as apprentices. After the contract is finalized, the 280,000 yuan will be paid immediately.  you."

    Mao Geng couldn¡¯t help but feel happy, thinking that these were the students who were originally going to be sent here for training, but when did Lu Jiuyuan start talking cheaply!  However, being able to ensure the supply of raw materials is a big plus. Paying the full amount will of course show more sincerity.

    But an order of 280,000 yuan is really not a big order.

    "Well, since Mr. Xiangshan has said so, what can I, Mao Yisheng, say? Of course, it is more respectful than obedient. However, Mr. Lu, I wonder if after purchasing this batch of mortars, will he purchase them again in the future?  "

    "Of course there are more than that. I think the Song Dynasty must have at least a thousand of these mortars."

    Oh, that¡¯s pretty much it.

    "However, we can only order the next batch after the first batch of goods is delivered."

    Depend on!  Who says Confucian masters don¡¯t show off their opinions!

    Seeing the disappointment on Mao Geng¡¯s face, Lu Jiuyuan asked another question, oh, no, it should be said to be a bait:

    "Yisheng, this kind of steel wire pulley bow is purchased in large quantities. Please quote a price."

    "Eighteen guan, fixed price." Bet you won't return ten guan.

    "Twelve pieces, 30,000 pieces, a big order." Look, look, this is exactly the face of the buyer in the era of overcapacity in future generations.

    "Fifteen Guan, we will also provide new arrow production technology."

    "Deal! Delivery in half a year."
