Chapter 712 Ending War with War (Supplement 4.29)

"It's not just paper, Ah Li can also make printing boards!" Zhi Changle looked proud, "You practice first, this time you go up to the mountain to study in the rain, Ah Li will definitely like you!"

Xia Zhaoyi was eating noodles and couldn't talk, so he swallowed and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhi."

Zhi Changle smiled innocently and scratched his neck: "I'm happy for a while, hehe."

Xia Zhaoyi turned to look at Lin Shuanglan and Bai Wuniang: "You practice first, don't worry about the paper."

"Then, can we take some back for the girls in the village..." Lin Shuanglan said shyly.

"As much as you want." Xia Zhaoyi said.

"Ah Li is so nice!!" Lin Shuanglan said happily.

Bai Wuniang also laughed, reaching out to touch the paper in front of her, loving it.

After eating, Xia Zhaoyi still has the habit of rinsing his mouth, and Zhi Changle has already prepared it in advance.

After washing his mouth and washing his hands, Xia Zhaoyi first went to tell Zeng Jishi some things, and went to the other side of the venue with Zeng Jishi to talk to several other people.

It was about half an hour before Xia Zhaoyi came back.

Zhi Changle had packed up his things and left, but Lin Shuanglan and Bai Wuniang didn't write much.

They were so distracted that they couldn't help but raise their heads and look at Xia Zhaoyi's figure.

Just looking at her appearance, she is the youngest among them, but her calm demeanor and conversation are as calm as their older sister.

Not to mention anything else, just the negotiation with these middle-aged people, everyone would bow their heads in front of her, including Zeng Jishi next to her.

It has nothing to do with age, wealth, or power. The indifferent aura on her body seems to be innate.

Xia Zhaoyi picked up the two people's paper, read it, put it down without saying a word, and then picked up the book they brought.

Lin Shuanglan didn't know many characters, and she drew circles in the book in a mess.

"Ali..." Lin Shuanglan said nervously.

"Let's start practicing with these fonts." Xia Zhaoyi said.

"Which ones?" Lin Shuanglan raised her head.

Xia Zhaoyi picked up the pen and wrote his name on the clean paper.

Lin Shuanglan, Bai Wuniang, Bai Liuniang, Feng Anan, Tu Xiaoxi, Wang Pan, Liu Yining, Guo Suyun.

The correct and regular characters are exactly the same as those printed on this yellowed book.

Zeng Jishi who came back with her was stunned.

He had seen Xia Zhaoyi's handwriting and understood how beautiful her handwriting was, but he never thought that she could write other words.

"Can these names match the Master?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

Lin Shuanglan nodded: "If you know one or two words, it's not difficult to deduce."

"Copy these first," Xia Zhaoyi put down his pen, "Each name needs to be written thirty times."

"it is good……"

Xia Zhaoyi didn't stay any longer and continued to work.

Bai Wuniang bit her pen and looked at the words she wrote in amazement: "This Miss Ali actually memorized our names."

"So, let's study hard!" Lin Shuanglan rallied, "A famous teacher produces a good apprentice, so we can't let her lose face!"

"Ok!"

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it gradually receded in the afternoon.

There is new rain in the empty mountains, the sky and the earth are bright and clear, and the outline of the entire site can be roughly seen.

After Lin Shuanglan and Bai Wuniang practiced their calligraphy, Xia Zhaoyi wrote a series of words, which were composed of the words in their names.

Lin Shuanglan's orchid, Bai Wuniang's five benevolence, Feng Anan's peace...

When Zhan Jiuye came, he was very relieved to see two girls who were immersed in writing, and whispered beside them, they must study hard from the girls, this is a rare opportunity, and then Zhan Jiuye went to Xia Zhaoyi and asked her about the transportation of materials. The problem.

In the remaining few days, whenever Lin Shuanglan had free time, she took her sisters up the mountain.

Bai Wuniang has been here for two days, and she doesn't want to come again. Once the novelty of practicing calligraphy is over, she just feels boring.

The ones who came most diligently were Feng An'an and Wang Pan.

As for Xia Zhaoyi's venue, the scale has not yet been completed.

Everyone originally thought that she was going to make a batch of crossbows or arrows, but they didn't think that she took out a bunch of temporary drawings made in the past few days and asked them to follow the drawings.

The drawings are very easy to understand, they are all made of wood, the length, width, height, and the size of the rounded corners are all marked on the drawings.

People who can read and write are selected as stewards, responsible for telling the size, supervising workmanship, and checking afterwards.

Everyone worked hard, but they didn't know what to do with the wood, until the day when all the drawings were finished, Zhi Changle and Lao Tong brought a big basket together.

The basket is also filled with wood, which is more delicate, smaller, and more complex in shape and structure.

Most of them are made by Xia Zhaoyi herself. She doesn't trust other people's craftsmanship, not because she thinks their hands are not as good as hers, but because it takes years of experience to do it.

Then, Zhi Changle and Lao Tong, under Xia Zhaoyi's instructions, used the small pieces of wood in the basket to place them in front of everyone, and knocked all the wooden parts into several large-scale combinations.

I don't know who took the lead and started clapping.

Immediately afterwards, many people clapped their hands.

An inexplicable emotion spread among everyone, and it was extremely contagious.

Even, they don't know what the use of these big combinations is.

Standing beside Xia Zhaoyi, Zhan Jiuye was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. After a while, he quietly asked Xia Zhaoyi what these were used for.

"Mold device," Xia Zhaoyi said without reservation, "the wood blades inside can be adjusted."

"……Can't understand."

"It can be called a scraper, and it can be used for anything as small as a crossbow bolt or as large as a wooden pier for building a house."

"Crossbow arrows!" Zhan Jiuye's eyes lit up, "Miss Ali, shall we go to war?"

"..."

In the past few days, the militant mood shown by Zhan Jiuye, who claimed to want to test his fame, was more like martial arts than literature.

It is true that there are indeed many militant civil servants, but the officialdom has been oppressed by the imperial power for hundreds of years, and there are very few such civil servants.

As for the imperial power, the several monarchs of the Dagan have always been peaceful, and they are rarely aggressive to the outside world. In other words, the monarchs of the Dagan for several generations just want to rest on the merits of their ancestors.

Of course, it is external, internal, they are unscrupulous.

After being silent for a while, Xia Zhaoyi said: "I named it Shishangyi. It only takes one person to push and pull, and twenty crossbows can be made at the same time. The wooden pier is too big, so only two can be produced at a time, and it takes a little time. Long."

"...Twenty, there are five and ten wound instruments here, so one hundred."

"It's quite scary," Xia Zhaoyi said calmly, "Twenty crossbow arrows, at least ten people will die."

Zhan Jiuye said in a deep voice: "In the current troubled times, there is nothing we can do. We can only end wars with war."

Xia Zhaoyi didn't answer, but looked at Shi Shangyi.

In fact, if she had enough time, she would be able to create a more elaborate mechanical device without rushing to make it like she is now.

Not to mention making twenty, thirty, or even fifty crossbow bolts at the same time, she can do it.

However, right now this machine is not used to make crossbow arrows, maybe it will be used in the future, but now, she wants to make wooden piers.

The building is built on flat ground, sheltered from wind and rain, and there is a stable place that she can use to make more things.

It is this material transportation that is indeed the most troublesome thing right now.

And, she has to go to Weiping Mansion in the near future, and she has to go to Congxin to have a look.
