The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

Naturally, it was not handed down from the former Qin Dynasty, but he drew it himself stroke by stroke according to the product pictures he found on Taobao. Xie Jingan smiled slightly, and half-truthfully told the origin of the blueprint: "This king is fortunate to come from I have seen the blueprint of this bow/crossbow from the prince, but I was young at the time, I only took a few glances and then put my mind on other things. Thinking about it now, I can’t remember it clearly, so I just imitated the rest. This blueprint seems to be somewhat different from the ones I saw before, and I don’t know if it will work.”

Xie Jingan naturally knew that he could successfully make a bow/crossbow according to this blueprint, but the origin of this blueprint is unknown, the original owner is illiterate, and Wu Ye's learning is so-so, even if he invented it himself, it will only arouse suspicion , so Xie Jingan put the source of the drawings on the crown prince after much deliberation.

Anyway, the Mozhou sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there is a difference in respect and inferiority. Even if someone doubts, it is impossible to ask the prince directly.

Therefore, Xie Jingan said it very naturally, as if such a thing really happened, without the slightest hint of guilt, and looked at Xu Hedao with a little bit of hope: "Master Xu will have to worry about this matter, if you can do it according to this blueprint If it is done, it is not practical to make one as soon as possible for General Lin, who is patrolling the city guards, to try it out. If the blueprint fails, I will trouble Master Xu to see how to modify it, so that this bow/crossbow can be produced as soon as possible.”

Speaking of Xie Jing'an's banditry that wreaked havoc on the feudal land, the common people were in dire straits, so he said that he wanted to prepare to suppress the bandits.

Xu Hezu has been from Mozhou for generations, but has relatives in Yingzhou, so he is aware of the disaster brought by these murderous bandits, so when Xie Jingan said that he wanted to suppress the bandits, he immediately lifted his spirits and held the blueprint in his hand I only felt that it weighed more than a thousand catties, and said solemnly: "Your Highness wants to do such a thing that benefits all people, and the villain must do his best. Your Highness, just watch, even if you don't make perfume, soap, and liquor, the villain will do it!" Make this bow/crossbow first, so as not to delay His Highness's important event of suppressing the bandits."

The more Xu He talked, the more excited he became, and he began to study the blueprints, but Xie Jingan choked on his words. Suppressing bandits is important, but perfume, soap, and liquor are equally important to him. He just waits for these things to be exchanged for money so that he can develop What about the fiefdom?

It's just that I can't say something too straightforward. Xie Jingan thought for a while, and said as tactfully as possible: "That's not necessary. You have to make the first bow/crossbow and try it before you know whether it works. Then all the workshops were stopped, and besides, the king has just signed the contract with the various families, and he will come to pick up the first batch of goods in ten days. It’s done, you can just pick out a few old craftsmen with good craftsmanship. If there is a shortage of craftsmen, you can post the recruitment notice farther away, even if it is posted all over the thirteen states of the king’s fief, and then write This king's decree says...it says that anyone who joins the Equipment Department, regardless of their crimes or slave status, will be released by this king, and if they make meritorious service in the future, they can all be promoted to rank."

Xie Jing'an was also forced by the shortage of people. His fiefdom was originally sparsely populated, and many of them belonged to wealthy households of aristocratic families. It is already a rare age to exclude underage children. There are so many old people who don't want to go to the mountains and rivers to leave their hometown. How can there be so many young people recruiting for him, let alone craftsmen with skills in their hands. The only way to achieve his goal is to come up with some extraordinary means.

Since it was an extraordinary method, it was naturally a bit shocking. Not only Xu He was surprised, but even Cui Tong and Shen Wei who had seen a lot of new things around Xie Jingan were quite shocked. Cui Tong even opened and closed his lips a few times as if he wanted to speak. Persuading him, but remembering his identity after all, he didn't say it out, Xie Jing'an just pretended not to see Cui Tong's hesitation, flicked his sleeves and said: "That's it, it's getting late, I'll be here soon!" I still have important matters to go back to the palace, if there is nothing else, Mr. Xu will lead me to look at the equipment department, and then go back to the palace."

Xie Jing'an made a final decision, and the others naturally didn't dare to say anything. Xu He even carefully folded up the drawings and put them into his sleeves, and then responded respectfully, and led Xie Jing'an around the equipment department.

In Xie Jingan's opinion, such an underappreciated equipment department should not be big, but after visiting it, he found that although it is not big, it is not too small. Although there are more than a hundred busy young and strong craftsmen coming and going, it is crowded. Some, but there is still room for movement. If you don't ask people to turn around and bump their shoulders and feet, it is already considered spacious.

It's just that the spaciousness is spacious, but it's a lot different from what Xie Jingan thought, not to mention orderly, Xie Jingan even saw some common people walking around with their upper body bare in order not to get their clothes dirty while working.

Xu He was also quite embarrassed by this, and blushed and said: "Your Highness, don't be surprised, these people's families are too poor, many of them don't even have a decent piece of clothing, but this one is still here to recruit workers At that time, the family patched together a few feet of cloth, and after His Highness pays them a few days' wages, they will be able to dress more decently when they have more money."

This Xu He is a good person, at this time he is not afraid that Xie Jingan will blame him, instead he keeps pleading for the common people.

If it was another royal family member, maybe they would be charged with misconduct, but Xie Jingan has been an ordinary person for more than [-] years, and this prince has only been in office for a few months. Naturally, it is impossible to really care about these things, so he said with a smile: "It's okay, although it's indecent to be naked in broad daylight, but it's justifiable, and this king will not pursue it. It's just that these new things made in this workshop are sold to nobles, so we still have to pay attention to them. Just once, from now on it must never be like this again, even if you can’t wear decent clothes, as long as it’s clean and not dirty.”

At this time, Xie Jing'an didn't pay much attention to sterile and sterile products. After all, the conditions did not allow it, but he still had to do it as much as possible within the scope of his ability. Others know that the workers who make soap and perfume don't wear clothes. Even if they like it in their hearts, they should have a grudge.

But when it comes to the workshop, Xie Jingan remembered one thing. Looking at the mold used to solidify soap in the equipment department yard, he frowned and said: "This mold has a wooden shape, but what else can it produce?" Tricks? Now it’s only a few months before the New Year, and besides, the king makes so many new things, he always sends some to the palace for his father, mother, concubine, brothers and sisters to try something new, and everything sold out is sold all over the palace. I haven't seen it yet, so doesn't that mean that the king is not filial? But the things in the palace are always rarer and more exquisite, Mr. Xu has been in the Equipment Department for decades, and his craftsmanship is superb, what good way can I give this king?"
