The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Zhao Chen, I can agree to your conditions, but I want to see the bed crossbow you mentioned.

The craftsmen were still thinking that the emperor would definitely not agree to Zhao Chen's request.

Unexpectedly, the emperor nodded in agreement.

Although he said he wanted to see the bed crossbow that Zhao Chen mentioned, he still agreed in the end.

It was difficult for the craftsmen to understand how the majestic emperor could agree to such a rude request.

That money...

It will be financed by the Ministry of War. The emperor sounded annoyed.

…

Zhao Chen didn't care whether the emperor was angry or not. .??.??

As long as the emperor promises to pay, then anything can be said.

If Hou Junji dared not give it, Zhao Chen would dare to go to his house and shoot him.

Anyway, it's all about losing face, and Zhao Chen doesn't mind letting Hou Junji grow his face again.

The emperor was obviously not willing to be defrauded of 300,000 yuan by Zhao Chen with just one sentence.

I have to force Zhao Chen to show him this bed crossbow now.

Hou Junji was hating in his heart because he couldn't bear Zhao Chen making a fool of himself in front of the emperor.

Naturally, he won't leave in a hurry.

As for the folk craftsmen, they want to leave, but they dare not.

A bed crossbow that was already completed was moved to the open space of the Arms Supervision Square.

It is said to be a bed crossbow, but it is actually an improvement on the winch crossbow.

Still combining two bows together.

This greatly enhances the tension and power of the crossbow.

But this is extremely labor-intensive, and without sufficient manpower, it is impossible to pull the crossbow.

Therefore, the bed crossbow developed by the Ordnance Supervisor was insufficiently powerful.

If you can't pull the crossbow, how can the crossbow arrows have any power?

What do you think? The emperor couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he saw that Zhao Chen didn't move.

I have promised to give him 300,000 yuan, but this guy still doesn't act now.

It's quite simple to solve your problem. You just need to add one thing.

But Your Majesty, do you want a more powerful bed crossbow?

I can build it for you. Zhao Chen looked at the emperor with a smile on his face.

Your Majesty! Hou Junji shouted to the emperor with a bitter look on his face.

Now he was really afraid that the emperor would agree directly if his brain got hot.

What if Zhao Chen comes up with a more powerful bed crossbow and the emperor wants his Ministry of War to pay for it?

Even Hou Junji can't get that much money by selling everything!

The emperor wanted to agree, after all...

But seeing Hou Junji's appearance, he still held back a little.

You have to get this thing done for me first.

If this is done, I will consider talking to you about the next one! The emperor waved his hand and said to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen didn't care, waved his hand to summon a guard, and said a few words in his ear.

The guard nodded and left, and Zhao Chen found a sunny place in the square and sat down.

Lao Litou ???

The emperor was a little confused.

I am waiting here just because I want to see Zhao Chen solve the problem of insufficient power of the crossbow.

But this guy actually sat down?

Hou Shangshu, if you are fine, you can raise money first. I will visit you personally at this time tomorrow.

If Hou Shangshu cannot come up with the money, don't blame Zhao Chen for being unkind.

You also know that the students in the academy are all lawless masters. If I accidentally break someone's leg in your family, then...

Zhao Chen, you! Hou Junji looked stern.

Hou Junji still remembered that Zhao Chen took revenge on him one after another last time.

Not only did he smash his own glass shop, but he also broke all his children's legs.

Even he himself received death threats from Zhao Chen.

Now Zhao Chen actually dared to mention this matter.

What's wrong with me?

Zhao Chen smiled.

I just kindly remind Hou Shangshu to prepare the money. I will need it early tomorrow morning.

Of course, if Hou Shangshu is not in a hurry, you can stay here and take a look. Maybe I can't solve the problem of this crossbow! Zhao Chen continued to talk to Hou Junji, completely ignoring that Hou Junji could kill people. Staring at himself.

Hou Junji did not leave.

He really wanted to see how Zhao Chen solved the problem of insufficient power of the crossbow.

If it couldn't be solved, he would have to let Zhao Chen remember it for a long time.

Zhao Chen was sitting in the sun, and Lao Li frowned and said nothing, with a slight irritation on his face.

Hou Junji's face was even more angry.

Now he wanted to strangle Zhao Chen to death on the spot.

They didn't speak, but the craftsmen standing a little further away started talking.

Do you think Duke Zhao really has a way to solve the problem of insufficient power of this crossbow? a craftsman asked.

There should be, otherwise how dare he ask His Majesty for 300,000 yuan? Let's see how shocked His Majesty the Emperor is! someone whispered back.

I think it's impossible. Apart from a lot of manpower, who can easily draw the bow of this crossbow?

That's right. Even a person with natural supernatural power can't draw this bow. This Lord is probably bragging.

It is said outside that His Majesty the Emperor dotes on Duke Zhao, which is indeed good. He is definitely the first one who dares to ask His Majesty for 300,000 yuan.

So even if he fails, His Majesty will reprimand him at most and won't do anything to him.

Yes, we have been doing these things for many years, at least more than 20 years ago. Faced with such a problem, there is nothing we can do.

To put it bluntly, he is just a young boy, why should he!

After all, the craftsmen did not believe that Zhao Chen could solve the problem of this crossbow.

After waiting for almost an hour, the emperor's face became increasingly ugly.

He is not full.

But Zhao Chen gave him the feeling that he was just waiting here after he was full and had nothing to do.

Zhao Chen, it's been an hour, you'd better...

Sir, here we come, here we come! Li Ke and Fang Yizhi ran in carrying two sacks.

Instead, he interrupted the emperor's words.

Clang- The sack was thrown to the ground, making a sound of metal collision.

The two of them were sweating profusely, and it was obvious that the contents of the sack were not easy at all.

What is this? The emperor frowned and looked at Li Ke.

The pulleys are all made of wrought iron, which is much stronger than wood! Li Ke explained.

Pour all the iron blocks in the sack onto the ground.

There was a clanging sound.

Everyone's eyes turned over.

They haven't seen anything this strange before.

Hou Junji also looked over. Can some small iron blocks solve the problem of the bed crossbow's insufficient power?

Isn't this lying to fools?

Hou Junji felt disdainful and felt much more relaxed than before.

At least he didn't believe that these rags could be of any use.

The emperor frowned. He felt that these things looked familiar.

It seems like I have seen this thing somewhere.

Your Majesty, sir, you showed us this pulley in the academy, have you forgotten?

Sir, he is able to lift thousands of kilograms of heavy objects by relying on these things. Fang Yizhi recalled to the emperor.

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly realized.

It occurred to him that he had added this thing before in the academy.

That time, Zhao Chen said that he had to lift a stone lock weighing a thousand kilograms by one person, but everyone didn't believe it.

But the fact is that Zhao Chen really just used a few wooden pulleys to easily hang the stone locks in the air.

Can these pulleys also be used on bed crossbows?
