Chapter 152 Distinctive Long Gun
In the next two days, Yang Yanzhao visited Lu Duoxun, the official secretary. For the official secretary who was in charge of the assessment of officials in the Song Dynasty, he really couldn't figure out why the other party invited him.
From Lu Duoxun's words, Yang Yanzhao can vaguely feel an indescribable sense of closeness, but he is only euphemistic and implicitly responding to his words cautiously.
Perhaps he saw Yang Yanzhao's cautious words and actions, Lu Duoxun just smiled carelessly. At the time of parting, he even patted him on the shoulder and said something that made the latter more confused.
"One day you will understand."
After returning from Ludoson's house, Yang Yanzhao buried his head in the study for the rest of the time. Even Zhang Qian and others couldn't figure out what he was doing.
Finally, under He Yu's anxiety, Yang Yanzhao gave him a book of rice paper. After reading it, the latter was in a hurry to show surprise and didn't care about the upcoming dinner, so he hurried out.
After solving the matter of 'Yunyan Pavilion' for the time being, Yang Yanzhao began to socialize again, and the invitation in his hand began to visit.
There are also invitations between Shilin students, all of which he visited on time. Although he was just drinking and writing poems, as the top student of the new subject, he can still gather a lot of fame and prestige.
This is also what Yang Yanzhao needs.
After the night, Yang Yanzhao will tell stories to Bamei and others without going anywhere. At present, the appointment of the imperial court has not come down yet. He should accompany them more while he still has free time.
"Sixth brother, the wind exhausting green whip is as powerful. You also need to create a weapon for the fish. You can't use a sharpened wooden stick every time."
In the yard, Ba Mei looked at the wooden stick that was cut off by the exhaust whip in her hand and couldn't help saying aggrievedly. These days, it has been changed several times, but every time they compete, they still can't beat the cyan biting silver wire whip that set off the wind.
Yang Yanzhao, who was playing chess with Li Zhi, couldn't help raising his head when he heard the sound. Seeing the pouting appearance of Bamei, he couldn't help saying, "What Yuer said is that the sixth brother will go to the store for you in the afternoon."
Nowadays, Ba Mei's martial arts are becoming more and more refined, and it's time to create a special weapon for her. Although Yang Yanzhao has never thought of letting her fight on the battlefield, it is always beneficial for the girl's family to have the ability to establish a world.
After lunch, Bamei hurriedly pulled Yang Yanzhao's sleeves. She had not been on the street for many days, and she had been itchy for a long time, not to mention looking for weapons that had been eager for many days.
Nothing happened. Zhang Qian and others went out with Yang Yanzhao. As for Xiao Muchun and others who also wanted to go out to play, they could only continue to practice in the yard with a bitter face under Guo Huai's eyes.
"Qing'er, won't you go out with us?"
Turning around, he looked at the Luo girl who had not closed the traditional Chinese medicine book. Yang Yanzhao asked softly. The latter smiled lightly, "I won't go. I'm going to check Mrs. Wen's body later."
Hearing this, Wen Zhongshu hurriedly saluted and thanked him, so he wanted to stay for Luo's daughter to help. In this case, Yang Yanzhao did not force him to stay, so he walked to the block with Bamei and others.
On the street, the winter coats have disappeared, replaced by long gowns and skirts, but in early April, when spring is warm.
"Fish, what kind of weapons do you like?"
Walking idlely, Yang Yanzhao asked casually, and the eighth sister who was watching from left and right thought for a moment, "Brother Six, the fish has learned the marksmanship taught by his father since childhood, and the weapons can only choose guns. I'm afraid the rest will not be easy to use."
It was indeed like this. He nodded. Yang Yanzhao couldn't help but think of the steel gun he used. It was about ten feet long. As a man, he could hold it in his hand, but Bamei is still a child. How can he use such a long gun?
Thinking about it, I don't know why, Yang Yanzhao remembered the mother sword, and suddenly had an idea in his heart. Maybe he can create a similar long gun with the help of the mechanism. First, it doesn't look too long, and second, it confuses the opponent. When he is unexpected, he can use a fatal blow.
Having an idea, she began to look for a blacksmith's shop. When the eighth sister on one side saw him smiling, she hurriedly begged to listen to what kind of long gun Yang Yanzhao planned to prepare for himself.
Seeing that Yang Yanzhao didn't say anything, Bamei shook off his sleeve. "Huh, sixth brother, don't care about the fish. The green whip is so beautiful. You can't treat the fish badly!"
"That's natural. Just look at the fish."
Yang Yanzhao answered with a smile. After walking through several blacksmith shops and asking silently, he found that not all blacksmiths could make it.
Although his idea is very simple. There is a section of the long gun folded up. When it is ready to be used, it pops up after pressing the switch like an umbrella, how can such a skill be used by ordinary people?
"Brother, why did you all come out?"
As he was walking, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He turned his head and saw He Yu jump out of a carriage.
"Brother He, why is it you?"
Bamei blinked and asked. He Yu touched her head twice like Yang Yanzhao, "Why can't it be me? You little girl, are you not happy to see me?"
Listening to He Yu's joke, Ba Mei turned her face and muttered, "No, when will the fish not wait for you? Brother He, you have wronged the fish."
This aggrieved look suddenly made everyone laugh. He Yu hurriedly bent down to apologize, and the eighth sister turned her head and ignored him until Yang Yanzhao came forward. The little girl grabbed his sleeve and pouted, "Brother Six, Brother He bullied me."
Knowing that Ba Mei is a little girl, Yang Yanzhao persuaded her with a smile, and then turned to He Yu and asked, "How's it going tonight?"
"Brother, the things have been sent to Miss Biyue, and the other things have been done." With that, He Yu hesitated on his face and asked in a low voice, "Brother, how sure are you about this?"
He Yu, who didn't say anything, just smiled. Seeing this, He Yu, who had been nervous, couldn't help but feel a lot at ease. He looked at the crowd and patted his head and said, "Look at me, I forgot, where are you and Qiu Bai going?"
"When I have nothing to do, I go around the street and create a hand-to-handed weapon for the exhaust wind."
Speaking of this, Yang Yanzhao looked at He Yu, "Today, can the Chamber of Commerce have its own weapons shop?"
Although he took the two layers of income of the Chamber of Commerce, he didn't know what the Chamber of Commerce would look like. After half a circle, he didn't find a suitable blacksmith's shop, so he asked.
"Now my 'Jubao Pavilion' has been involved in all walks of life, but this weapon is tightly managed by the imperial court. Who dares to be contaminated?
However, if the elder brother is looking for a weapon for the fish, the younger brother can introduce that there are copper and jade craftsmen in the 'Jubao Pavilion'. Although their craftsmanship is not one of the best, they are also very comparable to others.
He Yu's words just solved Yang Yanzhao's problem. He immediately smiled and said, "Virty, take me here quickly tonight."
Zhang Qian and Guo Hua and others didn't like to hit the iron, so the group went shopping and heard about books, while Yang Yanzhao took Bamei and Paifeng on He Yu's carriage.
"This evening, the weapon I want to build may be related to the future safety of the fish. Do you have a confidant?"
Hearing this, He Yu felt amazed and thought for a moment, "'Jubao Pavilion' has four copper ware shops in Bianliang. One of them is the responsibility of the old man in my brother's house, and the craftsmen in it are also brought by the prefecture. If the brother wants to keep secrets, we will go there."
The wheels were sparkling and stopped in front of a shop in the south of the city. There was 'Yuxingzhai' hanging on the forehead of the shop's door. In the right corner of the plaque, there was a unified sign of the Jubao Pavilion, a treasure basin.
Entering the shop and in the back hall, a middle-aged man came over in a hurry, "Your son, what's wrong with you?"
"Uncle Qian, this is my brother. I want Uncle Qian for help today."
The son's brother?
He Qian was obviously stunned. As an old man in He's house, of course, he knew that the prince was the only one under his knees. How could there be one more brother?
But after all, he is responsible for a shop, and his brain naturally turns quickly. At present, he understands that this is the brother who is often talked about by the prince and worships the opposite sex.
"I've seen the prince" and saluted Yang Yanzhao. He Qian hurriedly said, "If you have anything, please tell me. How can you be so polite?"
"Uncle Qian, it's like this. I want to ask you to help build a long gun."
He Qian frowned, and the court strictly took good care of the weapons. If it was in Fuzhou at this time, there might be no big problem, but at the feet of this day, he usually did business conscientiously under the order of He Yu, and did not dare to do anything beyond, so he heard that he wanted to build a long gun and looked embarrassed and subconsciously. It came out.
"What, Uncle Qian, are you in trouble?"
Listening to He Yu's words, He Qian hurriedly said, "Since the prince opened his mouth, how dare the villain to shirk it? 'Yuxingzhai' is full of old people at home. There should be nothing to do, but what are the requirements for this long gun?"
He Qian has been doing business for many years. He Qian is also a shrewd person. There are also people who buy and sell secretly in ordinary guns. Since he is specially built, it is definitely not an ordinary thing.
"What I want is a steel gun, but I made some small movements on the gun. Usually, it only needs to be one foot long. After pressing the mechanism, the length can be increased by half a foot."
As he spoke, Yang Yanzhao drew a comparison. He Qian came out of the blacksmith's shop and was still familiar with weapons. He immediately lost his voice and said, "What the prince wants is the mother sword?"
"Well, it's almost like this. The head of the gun should also be made into two side barb serrated teeth. As for the body of the gun, I think Uncle Qian will make an extreme mark, so I won't say much."
After listening to Yang Yanzhao's description, He Qian was silent for a long time, and then slowly opened his mouth, "Sir, the request needs to be tested for a few more days, so I'm afraid this gun can't be completed for a minute and a half."
After secretly calculating the time, there should be half a month left in the official document of the Ministry of Officials. Although there is no guarantee that he will stay in Bianliang as an official, even if he is sent to the place, as long as He Yu sends someone, there will not be much problem, so he nodded and thanked, "There is Uncle Lao Qian."
In the palace, Wang Jien rarely showed humility. He whispered to Wuze, who closed his eyes and followed him, "Two masters, the officials have been waiting in the Yanhe Hall for a long time."
Hearing the words, he opened his eyes and said Amitabha, and then followed Wang Jien to the Yanhe Hall. Behind him, although Wu Ze's face was expressionless, his steps seemed to be no more stable than before.
