Chapter 314: Moon-shanglou was sued?

He had been thinking about improving the existing bows and arrows since last year, hoping to increase their lethality and accuracy, but he always failed.

If the bow and arrow want to be more lethal, it needs a greater pulling force. However, if the pulling force is increased, many soldiers simply do not have the strength to pull it open.

As for the accuracy, it is even more difficult. Even if different people use the same bow and arrow, the accuracy will be different due to various reasons such as strength. Because the accuracy is controlled by the hand in addition to strength.

It's not like he hadn't thought about using a crossbow.

However, the manufacture of crossbows is more complicated and requires more money.

The most important thing is that today's crossbows are single-shot.

After shooting an arrow, you need to stop and load another arrow into the machine.

Although loading arrows may seem simple, it requires a lot of strength, and the loading process is much more complicated than that of a bow and arrow.

On a real battlefield, you don't even have time to load a second arrow.

However, the crossbow in his hand now did not have any of the problems he had encountered before.

Ten arrows can be loaded at a time, and the loading process is very easy and does not require too much effort. Moreover, it can fire ten arrows in a row!

If such weapons were really used on the battlefield, then what would the Dachen army have to fear from the Yan cavalry!

We will destroy as many as you can!

"Second kid, go back and tell Yun Zhi that I will definitely copy this crossbow!" "The samples are already in our hands. Even if they are useless, we can definitely make it!"

"Feng Er must convey Mr. Gongshu's words." Feng Er was also very excited.

After seeing the power of this fine steel crossbow with his own eyes, he thought to himself that if everyone in the army had one, Dayan would never dare to set foot into Daychen's territory.

Now that Dachen is safe, their masters won't have to work so hard.

Over the years, the master has really put in a lot of effort to ensure that the Shan family army at Qianfeng Pass has better food, better clothes, and better weapons.

The imperial court of Dachen was simply unreliable. Every time they sent food and fodder, they were either short in weight or inferior in quality.

If it weren’t for the master, Qianfeng Pass would have collapsed long ago.

When Gongshu Qi came back from the shooting range, he saw the silver screen and jewelry that he had thrown aside.

He quickly stepped forward to collect them, muttering, "These are all treasures! We can't lose them. It takes a lot of materials to make a crossbow, and a lot of fine iron. I don't know if these are enough!"

Feng Er heard the muttering, and he suppressed his laughter and said, "Mr. Gongshu, the master said that you should use these first, and someone will be sent to deliver them later."

Half of the master's private property over the years has fallen into the hands of Mr. Gongshu.

There's nothing we can do about it. It's because the weapons and other things made by Mr. Gongshu are so useful.

The imperial court had not replaced their equipment for several years, let alone the armor on their bodies. Those broken swords with holes in them and rotten arrows that had lost their elasticity could not stop the Yan people's cavalry.

Therefore, the master had to pay for the replacement himself.

Fortunately, Fengxue Tower's business has always been good, and the master's shops elsewhere have also been profitable, otherwise, he really would not be able to support such an army.

"That's fine, but refined iron is not easy to get even if you have money. Go back and ask Yun Zhizi if there is any other way to get it." Gongshu is usually very casual, but once he encounters something within his ability, he is also very opinionated and has a good temper!

"Feng Er, I obey your orders."

What happened in Yanzhou has not yet spread to the capital.

But there is never a shortage of stories in this capital city.

No matter how big the event is, it has a time limit. When something bigger and newer happens, the previous events will naturally be covered up.

For example, the most popular event in the capital these days is the case in which Xiaohuilou sued Shangyuelou for murder and stealing the secret recipe.

"Madam, what should we do now?" Li really had no idea at all.

Song Xin and Manager Zheng were both taken away by the Jingzhao Prefecture. Without someone to make the decision, she really didn't know what to do for a moment. She could only return to the General's Mansion for help.

Li hasn't returned to the general's mansion for a long time.

The better the business of Moon Viewing Tower was, the more work she, who was in charge of logistics, had to do.

Today she was either looking for more people, or tomorrow she was looking for more vegetable vendors to be her suppliers. Anyway, she was busy every day.

She felt very relieved that Xiao Yuer was left in the general's mansion, so she did things without any worries.

I didn't expect that she would come back under such circumstances.

Song Qingci asked Yinxing to pour her a bowl of cold tea and comforted her, "Sister Li, don't worry. I have sent someone to find out the situation. It's best not to make any rash decisions when you don't know anything."

Song Qingci received the news almost immediately after Manager Zheng and Song Xin were arrested.

She immediately asked Feng Yi to check it out.

Right now, Feng Yi hasn't come back yet, so all she can do now is wait.

However, I think Shopkeeper Zheng and Song Xin will not be in any danger for the time being.

The news of their arrest was reported by Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Zhang Quan and his men.

Since they came to deliver the message, they were trying to show goodwill.

Since it is a gesture of goodwill, Manager Zheng and Song Xin are safe for the time being.

"Sister Li, can you tell me in detail how it happened?" Since Li was here, Song Qingci didn't need to ask anyone else about the situation.

"Yes! I can tell you!" Li immediately put down the herbal tea in her hand and said, "Today, the Moon Viewing Tower is open to welcome guests as usual. There is no difference at all. However, not long after the door was opened, the officials from Jingzhao Prefecture came. They said that the shopkeeper of Xiaohui Tower sued us for killing people to steal the secret recipe. They took shopkeeper Zheng and Song Xin away directly."

"There were many guests in the building at the time, and they took the person away in front of everyone."

"Did they say what secret recipe they stole?" Song Qingci asked.

"I didn't say it explicitly. However, I secretly gave one of the officers two taels of silver and asked him about the details. He said that Xiaohuilou sued us for stealing their spicy hot pot recipe and cold noodle recipe."

"Okay, I understand."

Xiaohuilou has no business, so it uses this idea.

I just don’t know whether this idea came from the owner of Xiaohuilou or his boss behind the scenes!

Killing people to get the secret recipe?!

It’s amazing that they could think of this!

Liangpi was launched not long ago, but Malatang has been sold for several months.

If you really stole their secret recipe, why would you wait until now to tell us?!

Who are you taking for a fool?!
