The strongest engineering student in ancient times

Qiu Ziyue was lectured by several friends, and he was not allowed to go to the door to find Qi Yibai until he got Qiu Ziyue's guarantee.

When he saw Qi Yibai, the first thing he did was to quickly ask Qi Yibai if he had any spare bows and crossbows, and sell him seven or eight more.

Qi Yibai said in surprise:

"Master Qiu, why do you suddenly want to buy so many bows and crossbows?"

Qiu Ziyue sighed and said:

"It's not that your crossbow is so popular. Not only my classmates and friends, but also my brothers and nephews in my family want to compete with me. I won't buy more sets for them. My crossbow Sooner or later they will play badly."

Seeing this, Qi Yibai suddenly had an idea in his heart, he said to Qiu Ziyue:

"Master Qiu, it's thanks to you that the bow and crossbow can be sold to the academy. You have helped me so much now. Do you think this is okay? As long as you help me sell a bow and crossbow, I will give you five coins. As long as you sell it If you sell a hundred pairs, you can get 50 taels, and if you sell a bicycle, I will give you [-] taels of silver, and if you have other items in the future, it will be the same, how about it?"

Qi Yibai felt that it would be easier and easier for Qiu Ziyue to sell, and he would have a wider network. After all, he could not enter the academy, so it would be a bit troublesome to sell, but Qiu Ziyue was in the academy, so it would be much more convenient to sell bows and crossbows. Besides, Although Qiu Ziyue was a bit of a dandy, after getting in touch with him, he found that not only was he not bad-hearted, but he was also kind-hearted and innocent, and he was a person who could communicate and cooperate.

Qiu Ziyue's family naturally had a lot of money, and he was usually not short of money, but when he heard that he could earn money by helping others buy a crossbow and a bicycle, his eyes lit up immediately and he said:

"Brother Bai, do you really want to give me money?"

Five qian is quite a lot, and those servants in their family are only five qian a month, and this is still a bit of a position, if it is the most inferior helper, it will be two to three hundred a month at most.

Now he can help Qi Yibai sell eight sets of bows and crossbows immediately, that is, he can get four taels of silver, which is enough for him to go to Tianxian Restaurant for a meal.

The point is that his family has quite a few shops, if he asks people to sell them in the shops, wouldn't it be able to sell more!

Qi Yibai nodded and said:

"Of course, we can still sign a contract."

As soon as Qi Yibai finished speaking, Qiu Ziyue nodded without hesitation and said:

"Deal! Why don't you bring me ten copies at a time next time, and I should sell them all"

This kind of thing is beneficial and harmless to him. He himself knows how amazing and popular this crossbow is, and it is too easy for him to sell it.

Seeing that Qiu Ziyue agreed, Qi Yibai told him that he would give him ten bows and crossbows in a few days, and he would also bring the contract along the way.

Because he had already decided to cooperate with Qiu Ziyue to sell bows and crossbows, he simply gave Qiu Ziyue a commission from this time on. Qiu Ziyue bought 25 bows and crossbows at once, and he could get a commission of 12 taels. The commission for bicycles is one tael and five taels, and a total of 14 taels of silver can be obtained.

Qiu Ziyue paid Qi Yibai the balance of 170 taels, and was given 15 taels of silver by Qi Yibai, of which 14 taels was a commission. Qiu Ziyue didn't have a tael of silver on him, so Qi Yibai simply refused to let him go. Qiu Ziyue asked for it back, and simply regarded it as a commission for the two bows and crossbows that Qiu Ziyue bought last time.

It was the first time Qiu Ziyue earned 15 taels of silver by himself, which meant a completely different thing to him.

Usually when he returned to the house, his father would point to his forehead and say that he was not doing his job properly, saying that if he continued like this, if the Qiu family collapsed sometime, he would starve himself to death sooner or later.But now he has earned ten taels of silver just by changing hands, Qiu Ziyue knows that many shops in the town earn less than fifteen taels of silver a month.

Qiu Ziyue proudly pushed his new bicycle and two big bags of crossbows into the academy. He held his head high and seemed to be floating when he walked. His frightened appearance made people want to beat him up just by looking at it. pause.

Qiu Ziyue has been waiting for Liu Jinsong and the others to ask him, but after those people saw the bow and crossbow, how would they care about Qiu Ziyue's expression of not wanting to be beaten? They took their own bow and crossbow and went to the arrow field After having a good time, those who don't have bows and crossbows also follow along with a shy face to join in the fun.

Liu Jinsong likes the bicycle he just got very much. He rode it all over the academy, and said he wanted to compete with Qiu Ziyue who could ride faster. As soon as he was provoked, he agreed to the game without saying a word, and decided in his heart to give Liu Jinsong some color.

In the afternoon, Liu Tianlei and Wei Jiyuan were walking on the tree-lined avenue in the academy, saying that the bow and crossbow were ready, Wei Jiyuan couldn't bear it for a long time, and wanted to go to the archery range to try for a long time. Liu Jinsong and Qiu Ziyue, who were riding bicycles, were approaching quickly.

Qiu Ziyue was laughing at Liu Jinsong for riding slower than him, but when he saw Wei Jiyuan and Liu Tianlei, they hurried to the brakes.

The two stopped in front of Wei Jiyuan who looked surprised.

Wei Jiyuan looked at his two students getting off the wooden frame wheels, and was so shocked that he forgot to react.

What are the wooden frame wheels? !How can people run so fast without a horse!

Just now he saw Liu Jinsong and Qiu Ziyue were still twenty feet away, and it took only a few breaths, but they jumped in front of him!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the wooden frame wheels that looked so easy to fall apart could run so fast!

On the contrary, Liu Jinsong and Qiu Ziyue quickly straightened their bicycles, bowed respectfully and said:

"Dean, sir, the students are polite."

The faces of both of them were a little embarrassed, it was school time, they sneaked out to play, and they happened to be caught by the dean, it seemed that they were going to be nagged all afternoon, Qiu Ziyue gave Liu Jinsong a sneaky look, It was Liu Jinsong who pulled him to compete.

"Zi Yue, this is a wooden frame wheel you are sitting on? How can it move forward by itself?"

Wei Jiyuan suddenly asked curiously, keeping his eyes on the bicycle, for fear that it would suddenly jump forward.

Liu Tianlei had seen Qiu Ziyue riding a bicycle before, so he knew something about it, and explained to Wei Jiyuan:

"Dean, this is called a bicycle. It seems that you only need to step on it with your feet to walk, and the speed is much faster than usual walking."

Wei Jiyuan didn't expect that even Liu Tianlei knew about this weird wooden frame wheel called a bicycle?

Looking at the two identical bicycles in front of him, Wei Jiyuan was shocked. Could it be that there are already many such bicycles out there?

He has only been out of the academy for a month, has earth-shaking changes taken place in Xishui Town?

There are not only bows and crossbows, which are almost infallible weapons, but also chariots that can walk without oxen and horses.

He asked Liu Tianlei in surprise:

"Tianlei, is it possible that you also have this thing called a bicycle?"

Liu Tianlei immediately shook his head and said:

"Students can't afford it. Ziyue said that this one costs 30 taels."

Wei Jiyuan felt that 30 taels was not bad, and the price was about the same as that of a carriage. The main reason was that it was so amazing that he could walk without a horse at all. He asked:

"Zi Yue, where did you buy it, is it easy to use?"

Wei Jiyuan is very interested in novelty objects, and he wants to try them too, but as the dean, he can't directly ask if he can give it a try, which would be demeaning.

Seeing that the dean seems to like bicycles, Qiu Ziyue thought of Qi Yibai's words, and immediately said enthusiastically:

"Yes, yes, Dean, this bicycle is a good thing. Unlike a carriage that needs to be harnessed to waste time, you can ride it immediately. If there are many people on the street on weekdays, you can't even walk. This bicycle is different. It is small and flexible, and it can pass through the crowds, and even if I walk on a narrow road, I can ride very fast without wasting time."

Qiu Ziyue spared no effort to discuss the many advantages of bicycles, for example, it is very easy to ride, much easier to learn than riding a horse, and urged the dean to buy one as soon as possible.

When Wei Jiyuan heard the advantages of those bicycles in front of him, although he felt that it was indeed convenient, he just felt emotional, but when he heard Qiu Ziyue say that it was much easier to learn than riding a horse, his eyes moved slightly, and he coughed and said:

"Really studious, Ziyue, you can lie to me."

As a scholar, his biggest headache is horseback riding and archery, but the world is chaotic. If he doesn't have some self-defense skills, he will have to worry about it all day long. He wants to practice the bow and crossbow a few more times. If it is easy to use, he will also accept two. , let my wife prepare it too, and if this so-called bicycle is really easy to learn, judging by the speed of Qiu Ziyue and the others, running for their lives should not be slower than running!

Qiu Ziyue didn't know what Wei Jiyuan was thinking, seeing the other party's intention, Qiu Ziyue assured him more and more:

"Dean, I swear that I never lied to you. It will only take a day at most. You will definitely learn it. If you don't believe me, if you don't learn it by then, you can return the bicycle to me!"

Seeing this, Wei Jiyuan finally nodded and said:

"Zi Yue, isn't this bicycle a rare thing in your shop?"

Qiu Ziyue quickly shook his head and said:

"Of course not. The person who made this bicycle is a brother. By the way, he is also the one who made the bow and crossbow. He is amazing. According to him, there may be more amazing things in the future!"

Both Wei Jiyuan and Liu Tianlei were surprised when they heard the words, and Wei Jiyuan said in surprise:

"A dude made it? How smart must he be to make such an amazing thing? Well, I'll buy a bicycle."

Seeing that Wei Jiyuan promised to buy it, Qiu Ziyue asked with a smile:

"Dean, do you want to buy some more bows and crossbows? I think there are so many people in the academy that twenty sets of crossbows might not be enough. You don't know, bows and crossbows are very popular now, and everyone is vying for them." I have to practice."

Wei Jiyuan looked at Liu Tianlei suspiciously, everyone in the academy is interested in bows and crossbows?

Really so popular?

Feeling Wei Jiyuan's doubts, Liu Tianlei nodded with a dry smile and said:

"Dean, you don't know. They don't like to practice archery very much. They say that they have been learning for a year and a half, but they often still fail to shoot. They don't have much patience. Now they can practice a few times casually. A bow and crossbow that can hit a hundred shots, they naturally want to learn the bow and crossbow."

After all, who doesn't want to be a sharpshooter? It's more showy if you say it.

Hearing this, Wei Jiyuan understood a little bit. After all, not to mention these students, even he has always been itchy.

Wei Jiyuan simply said:

"Then let's add another [-] copies, and it will save them from arguing. After all, it is good for them to learn it as soon as possible."

Wei Jiyuan did not tell these students that the situation in the entire Shuixi County is not good recently, and wars may break out at any time.

Qiu Ziyue thought that the dean would add ten more at most, but he didn't expect another twenty. He couldn't hide his surprise and said:

"Dean, you are really considerate of them. We are really lucky to have a dean like you!"

Qiu Ziyue was very happy, he could help Qi Yibai sell twenty bows and a bicycle, and he could get 11 taels of silver! !
