Chapter 032

Zangjin Tower is not Hu You's first choice, because he thinks that to build arrows, it is more reliable to build blacksmith shops...com, but I didn't expect that the blacksmith shop here can only build farm tools and some simple kitchen knives, and has no ability to build arrows.

In fact, Hu You just arrived at the imperial capital and was not familiar with it. It is normal for him to not know the reason. The blacksmith shop in the imperial capital was not so unbearable before. Not only were they able to build arrows, but they also created many famous weapons. As a southern town, the handicraft industry here is quite developed.

Since Longcheng became the imperial capital, all walks of life have entered a period of rapid development, but the blacksmith industry, which makes a living by building weapons, has entered a bottleneck. Because the imperial capital is quite strict in the management of weapons, ordinary people are more than three swords, which is a serious crime. Therefore, there are naturally fewer people who come to build weapons. In order to survive, blacksmith artists who make a living by building weapons are transferred to other places and start a new job. The second is to stay here and change their behavior to create agricultural tools or accessories. After 20 or 30 years of evolution, there are naturally no famous artists who make weapons in the imperial capital.

When Hu You entered the Zangjin Tower, there were many men and women choosing what they like. The men and women in the Mandala Empire were relatively equal, so it was normal for women to go to the streets, join the army, or even engage in various commercial operations. Compared to the ancient times in Hu You's impression, this place was not so feudal.

"Oh, the guest is here. Please come here." The waiter came to entertain him warmly when he saw the business coming.

The scale of this Zangjin Building is indeed quite large, with as many as seven or eight receptionists as a waiter in the shop alone.

The waiter followed Hu You for a few times, and saw that Hu You didn't like something, then he asked, "I wonder what the guest wants to do?"

Hu You asked, "Well, I just take a look. What are you here?"

The waiter introduced: "You are just asking, "We Zangjin Tower is the largest gold-making shop in the imperial capital. We not only have various finished products for customers to choose from, but also design and create what we like according to customers' requirements."

Hu You felt a little moved when he heard the waiter's words. The fineness of the gold shop's craftsmanship is much higher than that of the iron shop. If they can really make the product as required, then it is completely possible to create the arrows they need.

Hu You asked tentatively: "If it were the drawings you brought by yourself, could your craftsmen also create them?"

Wang Er said angrily: "From the accent, the guest official should not be from the imperial capital. It's not my Wang Er who boasted, you can just ask someone on the street to ask, how many years our Zangjin Tower is. To put it bluntly, when we Zangjin Tower was there, there was no Mandala Empire!

As long as you can get the drawings, no matter what you want to build, our Zangjin Tower can create it for you."

Hu You said: "What if I want to build weapons or something?"

"Not to mention weapons, we even built the chariots in the Zangjin Tower. I remember that Emperor Taizu had been attacking Langtian City for a long time and could not capture it for a long time. He had no choice but to offer a reward for the whole country and seek a plan to attack the city. After three months, no one dared to take it. What did you think later?" Wang Er said here and began to keep it in hiding.

Hu You is an old man, how could he not know Wang Er’s small measure? But he really wanted to know the strength of the Zangjin Tower, so he had to follow Wang Er’s intention and asked, “What happened later?”

Wang Er nodded with satisfaction, looked at Hu You with a sensible look, and then asked, "Have you heard of the Pili Car?"

Of course, Hu You heard of Pili Chariot. Although he was not a member of the baggage force, he had been in the Blizzard Legion for so long that he didn't even know the Daming Thunder Car. Then he was still a soldier.

Pili Che is a powerful weapon for siege. When it comes to Pili Che, maybe everyone is still unfamiliar with it, because it is a name given by Emperor Taizu. Although it is domineering, it does not show its characteristics. If you talk about his other name, you will know how it is used as soon as you hear it.

Another name of the Pili Car is called the catapult. It smashes stones weighing thousands of pounds at the other side's city. A huge rock falling from the sky is not a joke. If you knock it, you will die, if you touch it, you will be injured, and the city wall can be smashed down. Its power can be seen.

Hu You nodded and said, "Of course."

The waiter asked again: "Do you know who built the Pili Car first?"

Hu You replied patiently: "I heard that he is a man named Lu You."

To be honest, this waiter hates it. It’s not that he talks, but that every time this guy says, he likes to make people guess, so as to show that he knows much more than others.

Wang Er ignored the dissatisfaction in Hu You's tone and asked again: "Do you know who Lu You are?"

"I don't know." Hu You shook his head. In fact, after hearing what the waiter said, he had already guessed that Lu You must have something to do with Zangjin Tower. Hu You had seen too many people with a personality like Wang Er when he was running around the world.

You have to give him the opportunity to show off such a person. Otherwise, he will go further and not show his cleverness until you can't answer. If you want him to speak it happily, you have to make him feel that he is already clever enough.

"Haha..." Seeing that Hu You couldn't answer, Wang Er laughed proudly: "Tell you, Master Lu Youlu is the owner of our Zangjin Tower."

"I don't know if I can..." Hu You had already figured out the guy's temper and deliberately said only half of the words.

"Do you want to see our poster?"

“That’s right.”

Wang Er shook his head like a rattle: "That's not possible. Our poster hasn't seen guests for many years. Unless there is some exquisite design, he will not see you."

Hu You took out the drawing for the Sun Arrow, and stuffed it into Wang Er's hand together with a gold coin.

"My second brother, please help me and give this drawing to Master Lu You. I think Master Lu should meet me."

Wang Erben opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but when he touched the thing under the drawings, he couldn't bear it. As a person from the Zangjin Tower, Wang Er only touched it with his hand and knew that Hu You was stuffing a gold coin.

"This... well, seeing that you are so sincere, I will give you a try. But I've agreed that I can't guarantee if the poster sees you."

Wang Er has been fascinated by a woman in a brothel these days, and is worried that she doesn't know where to get money to meet her. This little fortune that has fallen out of thin air is enough for a few times to go to the brothel. In order to meet her lover, Wang Er has made a sacrifice this time. Even if he is scolded by the poster, he will still take the gold coin.

As long as Wang Er is willing to hand over the drawings, Hu You thinks he will be half successful. He has enough confidence in changing the Sun Bow.

After a while, Wang Er came back. Looking at his bitter face, Hu You knew that something was wrong. Sure enough, Wang Er stuffed the drawing into Hu You's hand and said, "The master will not see you."

Hu You couldn't help asking, "Why?"

"The poster said that this is just an ordinary arrow. Maybe the folded bow is good, but he is not interested in this arrow."

Hu Youben suspected that Wang Er and Ben did not give the drawings to Lu You, but after hearing this, he knew that although Wang Er liked to be clever, the picture was indeed handed over. Because when Hu You drew this arrow, he did not indicate what kind of arrow it was. People without some skills could not tell that it was a folding bow with arrows.

The more difficult it is to see Lu You, the more Hu You wants to see him. Now Hu You is thinking about not just about building arrows. He thinks further.

The fact that Luyou was able to invent the Pili Car shows that his construction technology is quite impressive. If his subordinates could have such a talent, it would be of great use.

If someone knew what Hu You was thinking at this time, he would definitely call him overestimating his abilities. As a team leader, he dared to have the idea of ​​taking Master Lu You as his subordinate. This is not overestimating his abilities. You should know that with Lu You's status, even the current emperor Valencia may not be able to make Lu You obey.

Lu You has always acted based on his preferences and is surprising. Apart from his preference for design and creation, he has no concern for money, power and fame. At the age of eighteen, he created the Thunder Cart and was famous all over the world. Many people in the Tianfeng Continent wanted to take him for their own use, but they failed. Even Emperor Taizu once said privately that Lu You is easy to kill, but difficult to use.

Hu You was thinking about how to make Lu You use it for himself, and he didn't even know when he would leave the Zangjin Tower.

"Hu You, Hu You..." Hu You came back to his senses after being patted on his shoulder several times.

"Hu You, what's wrong with you? You won't..." Hongye asked Hu You with a worried look on her face. She thought Hu You were sick again.

"It's okay." Hu You shook his head.

"I'm scared to death." Hongye patted her chest and said, "What were you thinking just now? I've called you several times, but you didn't respond."

Hu You did not answer Hongye's question, pointed to a teahouse not far away and said, "Do you have any urgent matters? If you have time, please sit with me."

"Um."

The two of them asked for a pot of tea and sat opposite each other. Hu You kept thinking about whether to talk to Hongye about the Zangjin Tower. Many people could think of one more way. Just then, Hongye asked about Hu You asking someone to build an arrow. Hu You gritted his teeth and simply said it.

After listening to Hu You's narration, Hongye asked in surprise: "What, do you want Lu You to help you do things?"

"Yes." Hu You nodded.

If it were an ordinary woman, she would definitely say that Hu You was fantastic or said it was impossible. But Hongye did not do this. Although Hu You never said it, she knew that Hu You's psychology always had lofty ideals. This is also the reason why she gave Hu You's family's Sun Bow to Hu You.

Hongye is a smart woman. She knows that the reason why Hu You told her was to believe in her and wanted to get help from her, so Hongye would never attack Hu You at this time.

But Hongye knew even more that with Hu You's current strength, it would be impossible to conquer Lu You, even if she thought of a solution, Lu You would be willing to follow him. Now she could not play the role of Lu You. This would not only be of no benefit to Hu You, but would bring huge problems. If it was not done well, she would have to worry about her life. So she had to let Hu You give up this idea for the time being.

Hongye thought about it and then said, "Your idea is very good. If a skilled craftsman like Luyou can use it well, it will definitely greatly improve the combat power of the army.

But there is one thing I don't quite understand. Do you want to get Luyou back for the corps or the Blizzard Legion, or for you alone?"

The question of Hongye seems light, and the things hidden inside are not simple. She asked this, first of all, she wanted to test how great Hu You's ambition was. If Hu You just wanted to be promoted, then after he subdued Lu You and introduced him to Link, he would at least be promoted immediately. This shows that Hu You's ambition was not big enough.

Another point is that Hongye wants to know how much Hu You trusts him. You must know that if Hu You answers that he wants to take Lu You for himself, it is suspected of rebellion. The country of Mandala Empire was originally obtained from rebellion, and he is very taboo about this. If he is accused, although he will not be beheaded, he will be no longer able to be promoted. Therefore, he is not a person who absolutely trusts, and he will never dare to say such words.

Hongye is smart, but these small measures are just clever for old people like Hu You. He saw through Hongye’s thoughts at a glance. Hu You was not only not angry, but was secretly happy in his heart. He always wanted to tie Hongye to his chariot. Now that the opportunity comes to the door, Hu You will of course not let it go.

Hu You looked around and saw that the person closest to them was ten meters away, so he could never listen to their conversation. Then he said to Hongye: "I admire Emperor Taizu's achievements very much. If you have the chance, you should follow it. So you should know my answer!"

Since I wanted to say it, I would say it bigger, so big that Hongye was shocked when she heard it.

Emperor Taizu Rijkald's greatest achievement was to rebel, overthrow the Bauhinia Empire of the previous dynasty and become the emperor himself. Following him, even like him, he would also take up the throne.

Hongye's face changed when she heard Hu You's words. She never expected that Hu You not only had such ambitions, but also dared to say it in person.

"You...how dare you..." Hongye tried his best to lower his voice so that he would not let himself scream.

Hu You took a sip of tea and said lightly: "What's there to be afraid of this? Rijkald can even overthrow the Bauhinia Empire, which has been passed down for thousands of years. What does this mere thirty-eight years of Mandala Empire count as a result."

Finally expressing his ambition, Hu You felt like a bucket of cold water was washed in June, which was extremely comfortable. He used to only think about this idea in his heart, but now he dared to say it out, which gave him confidence to succeed.

The longer I came here and the more things I saw, the more clearly Hu You knew that this Mandala Empire seemed powerful, but there were very serious problems within it. From the story book given by Taishi Gong, Hu You learned that this new empire with only 38 years of history was even worse than the overthrewed previous dynasty.

Hu You thought of this and continued:

"It is a mistake to govern the country with the army. In addition, Rijkald's deliberate intentions have made the military and local forces opposed to each other, which is even more wrong.

In my opinion, although Rijkald is famous all over the world, he is not worthy of his name. He does not have a single heart and is as good as the founding emperor as Benbeng.

Rijkald deliberately made the military and local government disagree, which seemed clever, but indecisive. He thought that this would allow the children of generals and generals at all levels who followed him to conquer each other, thus making his throne stable. But he did not expect that the best way was to hide the birds and hide the bow.

Maybe he thought about it, but he could not do it, which would leave this huge hidden danger to the empire. A small Nabapo mob, both the army and the local army, could not be resolved quickly. Once there was a war, the consequences were predictable.

What's wrong with me taking over such an emperor and such an empire? Since it will sooner or later it will destroy the country, it would be better to build a brand new empire under my command."
