In fact, this move naturally worked, and the carpenters showed a look of excitement on their faces.

Ten-guan coins are not a small amount for them. Although some people come from Yangzhou, they still plan to gain a foothold in Chang'an or go back in the future.

Although there is a lot of wages every month, ten-shen is not a small amount.

Of course, the most promising person here is Rumu, after all, he was the only person who could make crossbow machines before.

The previous reward for money was to be won by Rumu, so this time Rumu is also sure to win.

Shu An didn't know what these carpenters thought, but Shu An also frowned slightly at this time.

The reason is very simple. The progress of gunpowder research has been slow, but it is not that these Taoist priests do not work hard.

But there are really not many ways. The size of explosives is reduced, which means different. The technological content here cannot be simply solved in this era.

Shu An took it for granted before, but Shu An did not lose confidence.

Anyway, he has only been studying explosives for half a year, so it is already very gratifying to have such achievements.

"Sure enough, there are some things that cannot be rushed."

Shu An thought silently that he understood the principle that hasteness would not be understood, but this matter could not be ignored.

If gunpowder can be used, then HNA will have real confidence. Otherwise, it would be far from enough to make those natives surrender to cold weapons.

.........

In the following days, Shu'an began to live a three-point and one-line life again, basically a few places kept circulating.

Occasionally, I have to check the progress of those carpenters, but this matter is not that easy.

After all, the drawings are just drawings. If you want to transform them into reality, it will be quite difficult.

Such a peaceful day made Shu An feel very fulfilled, but such days were broken by someone.

This person is none other than Li Shimin. However, at this time, Li Shimin was curiously looking at many people in the open space next to the academy.

"Is this a crossbow?"

Li Shimin naturally recognized this kind of thing at a glance. He had heard the information from Baiqi before that, that was, Shufu recruited many carpenters.

Unexpectedly, he was a member of the army and Li Shimin had read a lot of military books.

I also have a lot of knowledge about crossbows. Although it is a battlefield weapon, it also has many disadvantages.

For example, it is too bulky and the number of operators needs at least three people. If the number of crossbows is small, it is useless.

But if there is too much, even Li Shimin can't afford it, but he feels like he is tasteless and it is a pity to give it up.

Of course, it was abandoned in the end, because what the crossbow can do, then bows and arrows can also be done.

Li Shimin was not too concerned about this matter. What he cared more about was what Yafu used this crossbow to do.

"What are you doing?"

After Li Shimin became interested, he did not go in to look for Shu Mansion as soon as possible. Instead, he pulled a carpenter and asked.

Unfortunately, the carpenter Li Shimin grabbed was Rumu. Maybe because of his shortness, even Li Shimin was a little surprised.

"This young master, we are making bed crossbows."

Rumu said with a hint of respect, and there was a touch of flattery in his words.

You should know that when these people arrived, they were observed by Rumu, but he found that the surrounding guards did not respond at all.

I know that this young man may be the young master in the mansion. After all, his gorgeous clothes have exposed his identity as either rich or noble.

"Bed crossbow?!"

Li Shimin said in a more confusing manner, and there was no such thing in his mind.

Fortunately, Rumu seemed to see the doubts of a noble man, so he immediately explained that if it were not what the master said.

Even the carpenters like them didn't know what the bed crossbow was.

Under Rumu's explanation, Li Shimin's face showed a sudden realization, and it turned out to be a weapon that was more powerful than a crossbow machine.

Despite this, Li Shimin didn't care, because in his eyes, the power of the crossbow was just adding 20% ​​or 30% to the crossbow fuselage.

The defects of the crossbow itself cannot be changed, not to mention that it is just a drawing now.

Before seeing the real thing, Li Shimin naturally would not have any interest in bed crossbows.

Unfortunately, although Li Shimin knew what these carpenters wanted to do, he still didn't know what Yafu was going to do.

After thinking about this, Li Shimin stepped into the academy without hesitation.

Rumu's face was a little disappointed, as if this young master had little impression of him.

Of course, Rumu didn't know Li Shimin's identity, otherwise he would definitely not dare to do so.

Shu An had been waiting in the academy, and there were some speculations about Li Shimin staying outside Shu An.

Obviously, this emperor has a very strong curiosity. It would be a problem if he didn't see such an obvious place.

"Why did Shimin come this time?"

Shu An didn't say much, and went straight to the topic and said, obviously knowing that the emperor in front of him had something to come.

"Before talking about the matter, can Yafu tell Shimin what this crossbow should be used for?!"

Li Shimin asked with a hint of curiosity on his face, obviously he still felt that this Asian father would not do useless work.

Faced with Li Shimin's question, Shu An was slightly stunned and seemed to be a little silent, but then the voice slowly rang.

"For conquering the sea."

"You must know that the sea has many huge sea beasts, and only by using powerful tools can you cause damage."

Shu An did not fully express his thoughts, but the current reveal of this has already surprised Li Shimin.

This emperor suddenly remembered the shipyard that Yafu wanted before. Was it just for shipbuilding?

In an instant, the emperor's expression began to become complicated, while Shu An on the other side was not at all strange.

The reason is very simple, that is, this era has a natural fear of the sea.

Especially the closer the ocean villagers even worship the sea gods, and those who walk out of the ocean are easily lost.

So I became even more afraid. Li Shimin was originally afraid of ghosts and gods, but now he naturally doesn’t want to touch the ocean.

Naturally, after Shu An talked about this matter, even this emperor's expression changed a lot.

If possible, Shu An wanted to pull this emperor into the group. Unfortunately, looking at Li Shimin's expression, Shu An knew that it was impossible.
