Chapter 241 Part of the Plan

In response to Zhao Duan’s question, the two “students” in the room did not respond for a while.

Gongshu Tianyuan held his chin up to his hand, looking deep in thought, staring at the arc on the paper, lost in thought with the novel calculation method.

Chen Huoshen held those simple drawings in his hands, his face flushed red.

Zhao Duan threw out so many things in one breath that the two of them were stunned.

Obviously it takes some time to digest.

"It seems that it is not needed for the time being." Zhao Duan smiled with satisfaction, clapped his hands, attracted the attention of the two, and said:
"So, can we try to make this new firearm now?"

Chen Huoshen said excitedly:
"Give me two... no, one night, and I can refine the musket blueprint into a prototype."

Gongshu Tianyuan was full of confidence: "As long as he can draw it, I can make it."

"Okay," Zhao Duan said, "In that case, how about we make this musket first?"

Chen Gui wanted to throw himself in immediately. Seeing that the firearm was about to be pushed forward in his hands, how could he not be excited when he had dedicated most of his life to this?
He just said anxiously: "It's fine by me, but the priest..."

Gongshu Tianyuan said with a serious expression:
"I'll give it my all."

After a pause, he added:
"It's not for the Shenji Camp, but for my practice."

If a craftsman wants to make progress, he needs to make objects that are recognized.

If this firearm can really be promoted, it will be of great benefit to Gongshu Tianyuan's practice.

In other words, Zhao Duan's visit today was not to ask him to repay the favor, but to make the favor he owed him even deeper.

Whether it is this new knowledge or the opportunity to improve one's cultivation and break through one's realm, they are all of great weight.

"Sir, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will take care of this matter!"

Gongshu Tianyuan patted his chest and made the promise.

Zhao Duan smiled and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be so serious, and then he told the two of them:
"This involves new firearms. This is a military secret. It is difficult to hide the manufacturing process. But I hope that the secrets such as the blueprints will be kept to yourself. Before the test is successful, I don't want a fourth person to know about it."

Gongshu Tianyuan agreed immediately, full of confidence.

It means that no thief has been able to break into the Tianshi Mansion to steal.

Chen Huoshen's heart moved, and he remembered that the "Tu Fire Rifle" was stolen by the secret agents of Prince Jing's Mansion. As the chief officer of the Firearms Bureau, he had been investigated many times.

If it is leaked again... he will be blamed.

With this in mind, he repeatedly promised that the country's most important treasures would never be stolen.

Zhao Duan was not nervous. On the one hand, he actually hoped that someone would come to steal.

In addition, it doesn’t matter even if the musket drawings are stolen.

Because this time he only took out the "matchlock" but still held the more advanced "flintlock" and did not reveal it.

It is to prevent further accidents.

Anyway, the flintlock only has a different ignition method, and the rest of the manufacturing process is similar to the matchlock, so let's study the matchlock first.

Once you succeed, you can change to a flintlock without any delay.

Immediately, the three of them agreed that two of them would work together to develop a new type of firearm.

It was only said to the outside world that it was Zhao Duan who used favors to invite a priest to be a "consultant".

"I hope that you can make a batch of finished products as soon as possible, preferably within this month, or early next month. You can even use some sorcerer's methods to make a batch and conduct a drill in the army to verify it."

Finally, Zhao Duan said.

The two agreed immediately and promised to complete it.

With blueprints and warlock-level craftsmanship, it is not difficult to produce small batches.

The difficulty comes later, how to use mortal craftsmen to cast them in batches.

Chen Huoshen has already begun to look forward to what kind of sensation the new firearms drill will cause.

Not to mention the nobles in the Privy Council, even the current empress would be shocked, right?

Thinking of this, when he looked at Zhao Chenshi again, it was with more respect than anything else.

I thought:

“Now, there are countless mediocre people in the Beijing camp who are slandering and questioning us.

When they know what kind of changes Zhao Chenshi has brought to the Shenji Camp, they will understand that Zhao Chenshi's arrival is clearly a blessing for the entire Jingying Camp and even countless soldiers. How foolish it was to resist before. "

Zhao Duan finished his explanation and was about to leave when Gongshu Tianyuan suddenly called him:

"Master, please bring this to Junior Sister to try and see if it works."

Like a magician, he took out a palm-sized wooden box and said with a smile:
"I just made it and was about to send it over."

Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment, opened the box and took a look, slightly surprised, smiled and put the box into his sleeve, nodded and said:
"Okay. You guys go ahead and get busy."

As I turned and walked out of the room, I thought, who said that disciples of the Heavenly Master don't understand the ways of the world?
……

"Sir! You're out!"

As soon as Zhao Duan walked out, he heard the voices of two "door gods".

After nodding, he was surprised to see Priest Jin Jian sitting on a large water tank in the yard, his legs swinging gently, waiting boredly.

Qian Kerou explained:

"The priest came over just now, but when he learned that you had something important to do inside, he didn't go in."

So polite? The last time you came into my house and peeped at me taking a bath, you were not like this... You were obviously worried that Gongshu Tianyuan would find out, right... Zhao Duan complained crazily.

He said to the two men, "Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

Then he gave Jin Jian a look that said "you know what I mean" and the two of them walked out of the yard.

……

Inside the Tianshi Mansion, on the tree-lined avenue.

It was rare for Zhao Duan to walk side by side with Jin Jian.

"Why is the priest here? Did he know I was coming? Did he come to see me specially?"

Zhao Duan smiled harmlessly:

“The subsequent dividends have been released?”

"..." Jin Jian's body suddenly froze as he was walking with his head down. He moved a distance away from where he stood, covered his waist pouch vigilantly, and shook his head frantically:

"No! No!"

Then, he explained:
"I came to see my senior brother to see if that thing is ready."

"This?" Zhao Duan looked disappointed, then he took out the box from his sleeve and threw it out:

"Your senior brother asked me to give it to you."

Gongshu Tianyuan must have already discovered that the golden tablet was hiding outside the door, so he gave the thing to him as a favor.

Jin Jian subconsciously reached out and grabbed the box in his hand, looking at him warily without moving.

Zhao Duan smiled and said, "Open it and take a look. Is it suitable?"

Jin Jian hesitated for a moment before opening the small box and taking out a pair of gold-rimmed full-frame glasses.

Gongshu Tianyuan's craftsmanship is indeed extraordinary, and what he produces is almost indistinguishable from those drawn by Zhao Duan.

As for the wheelbase and degree of the crystal lenses, they have also been adjusted long ago.

Jin Jian looked at the new toy curiously, and at Zhao Duan's urging and signal, he put it on carefully.

Two huge crystal pieces are fixed on the delicate nose bridge.

The girl's confused and out-of-focus eyes came into focus.

"Well!!"

Jin Jian was stunned, and then his eyes suddenly widened.

I looked at the originally blurry world in surprise, and it suddenly became clear.

She looked around subconsciously, then walked forward and exclaimed.

He stopped suddenly and subconsciously held his glasses with both hands.

"Haha, you feel a little dizzy, right? It's like this when you first put it on. As long as you can see things clearly, you will get used to it after a while."

Zhao Duan smiled and admired the girl with glasses from another world, and reminded.

Jin Jian nodded doubtfully, then looked at him seriously and said:

"Thank you."

Zhao Duan said with a smile:

"Just thank you, brother. I can't make this thing by myself."

Jin Jian shook his head and said, "That's different."

Zhao Duan teased, "If you really want to thank me, then you should at least show some appreciation."

Jin Jian clenched his shrunken purse, gritted his teeth, and seemed to have made a great decision:
"Next time you come to me for help, I'll give you a 20% discount!"

“…50% off.”

"Thirty percent off!"

"40% off."

“40% off!!”

"three……"

Jin Jian sighed, lowered his head and said helplessly: "Fifty percent off is fifty percent off."

"That's a deal."

Zhao Duan laughed out loud, it was a rare happy moment for him recently.

Jin Jian looked at him curiously:

"Come to think of it, what did you come to see Brother Five for this time?"

"Make something fun." Zhao Duan did not explain, but asked:

"Is Priest Jin Jian very busy recently?"

He saw that the girl's dark circles had deepened.

Jin Jian, who had transformed into a girl wearing glasses, nodded and said seriously:

"I'm stepping up my training. The Buddhist-Taoist battle is coming soon. I might participate in the battle."

"A battle between Buddhism and Taoism?" Zhao Duan was stunned.

An idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he blurted out, "That tradition?"

Last time in the palace, when the empress gave him the "Six Talisman Armor", she said that the two major sorcerer sects of Buddhism and Taoism had a tradition of fighting.

It has a long history.

The gambling and martial arts competition between the Dayu royal family and Qingshan was an imitation of the Buddhist and Taoist fighting.

It is said that every time there is a fight, both families will send out outstanding contemporary disciples to participate in the battle, and the outcome will affect the ranking of the two major sects.

It is also a grand event for the entire Dayu Dynasty in practicing martial arts.

Every session attracts great attention.

"When?" Zhao Duan couldn't help but ask.

Jin Jian's voice was vague:

"This autumn, well, there are only about one or two months left. If it's delayed a bit, it can only be early winter at the latest."

Shit... That's not going to be fast... Zhao Duan was shocked and said:
"So you still want to hang around here?"

Jin Jian said faintly: "Aren't I sending you out?"

Thank you... Zhao Duan said calmly:
"I didn't plan on leaving right now. I thought you wanted to see me alone."

"......!" Jin Jian looked resentful and turned away.

What a waste of time!

"Wait, what on earth is that fight about? Tell me about it, hello?"

Zhao Duan shouted a few times, but the girl ran faster and faster and disappeared from his sight in a flash.

"Tsk... this is so stupid, and he represents the Tianshi Mansion..."

Zhao Duan curled his lips and wondered, can we win this way?
However, why do I still have a little expectation in my heart?

He shook his head. One could always enjoy the fun. His most urgent task was to deal with the affairs of the Shenjiying.

The so-called new firearms drill is naturally not just a performance, but also part of the plan.

Zhao Duan looked up at the high and blue autumn sky and murmured softly:
"You guys need to know something."
