Chapter 77 Strengthening the God Arm Crossbow Blueprint

The four old men and their families have a total of 37 people, most of them are women and children, and only four are young and strong, which is obviously not all.

So Li Si roughly understood why these four old guys would rather die than cooperate.

Because if they surrender, other descendants who are working for Lu will be affected.

With a sigh in his heart, Li Si's originally prepared speech changed.

"The lonely king is the fourth prince of Dayan. Of course, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Now that foreign races have invaded, the royal family of Dayan has been slaughtered like pigs and dogs. They are no different from ordinary people."

"The powerful family slandered the lonely king as a rebellious army. It doesn't matter, because they are the ones who have the final say in the world, but the lonely king has not hurt innocent people along the way. On the contrary, he led the army to break the Yanhui Mountain Fusheng Taoist Temple rescued nearly [-] refugees from there."

"In order to resettle these refugees, the lonely king had to take down Xishan Town, but even so, the lonely king kept his word and asked Xishan Lu to leave with his luggage."

"Then I don't know if I don't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. The Xishan Lu family alone occupied nearly half of the farmland in Xishan Town, Huangzhuangji, and Wangzhuang Town. Other relatives of the Lu family have also become big households. This is also true. That is to say, in Xishan Town with a population of tens of thousands, Huangzhuangji with a population of tens of thousands, and Wangzhuang Town with a population of tens of thousands, nearly [-]% of the population are poor, tenants, and even long-term slaves."

"This is the master family that you swear to protect and follow. Of course, as the retainers of the Xishan Lu family, you have actually enjoyed such benefits. You are also one of the sources of this situation."

"So now, do you know what you are upholding, at the expense of your whole family's life? Maybe you feel very proud, you feel that you are noble, and you think that all this is taken for granted and justified."

Speaking of this, Li Si changed the subject, "Old General Lu Feng, the reason why we built this secret room in the belly of the mountain was to make the Lu family a powerful family for thousands of years? The lonely king has watched the military books left by the old general in the past two days. , I have a feeling in my heart, the old general has been thinking about the Western Expedition all his life."

"A lonely king is not talented. If one day, he will lead an army of millions, sweep across the ten countries in the Western Regions, and cut off the foundation of demons causing harm to the world."

"And before that, the lonely king will also clean up the powerful families first, sweep away those of you who are attached to the powerful families, who forget the righteousness with petty loyalty, help the tyrants and abuse the people, the retainers and retainers of the fish and meat people, the lonely king will let all the people in this world be the farmers. They have their own fields, and those who live in them have their houses, so they can take care of themselves when they are old, and they have something to rely on when they are young.”

"Gu Wang doesn't care about your attitudes today. Since you don't want to be loyal to Gu, you can just be an ordinary person."

"Tang Qi, take them out of here and find another courtyard to resettle them."

"promise!"

Tang Qi, chief officer of the criminal department, promised loudly that he had long seen that these guys were upset.

The four old men and their family members were quickly taken away, they still looked the same, but there was a young woman sobbing in their family members, and the others also looked terrified, for fear that Li Si would be upset, so he cut them off.

But in fact, although Li Si regretted it, he didn't care much.

"Your Highness, don't be so angry. These old dogs are used to being domineering in the past, and they don't know what is good or bad at all."

It was rare for Dong Erdai to say that he was born in a peasant family and was poor since he was a child. Not only did he not have a good impression of the big family, but he did not have a good impression of the powerful family at all.

In fact, this is not an exception.

Let's take a look at the current population of nearly 3 people under Li Si's rule. Except for the 6000 people who were rescued from Yanhui Mountain at the beginning, the rest are all tenant laborers in Xishan Town and Wangzhuang Town.

People's hearts are the general trend, and those who dare to go against the general trend are destined to be eliminated, even if they will not be crushed to pieces.

For example, those four old men.

Because today, Li Si has no shortage of craftsmen.

So far, he already has four level 4 carpenters, Cheng Daniu is just one of them, and as long as they are given a chance, sooner or later they will be promoted to level 5 carpenters.

In terms of blacksmiths, there are a little less level 4 blacksmiths, currently there are only three, but there are as many as 3 level 15 blacksmiths, and as many as 2 level 154 blacksmiths.

Most of them are from Qingyuan County, because there is an iron mine there.

Although there is no iron ore in Luming Mountain, the Xishan Lu family's iron stock is enough for Li Si to use for a year or two.

"Is Wang Dahammer here?"

"Your Highness, you are waiting outside."

"Tell him to come in." Li Si ordered casually, but there was a thought churning in his heart because he was hesitating.

"Wei Chen, pay homage to Your Highness."

He is tall and powerful, and Wang Dahui, who is known as the number one blacksmith in Qingyuan County, quickly appeared in front of Li Si and paid homage to Li Si. He was extremely grateful to Li Si. People, who is not grateful to Li Si, the average loyalty is 6000+.

"Get up and take a look here. Gu doesn't know much about it. Tell Gu Wang what's so special about this place."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Wang Dachui got up and walked around, and he was very excited, "Your Highness, steel can be made here! You can look at the oven at the back. It is not an ordinary red oven. It can withstand extremely high fire. The bricks used in its construction are all Bought from Anxi Cui, one piece is worth a hundred gold, and it is called a refractory brick."

"Firebricks?" Li Si's expression suddenly became a little strange.

"Is this refractory brick unique to Anxi Cui?"

"Yes, Your Highness, because an oven built with this kind of refractory brick can easily produce high-quality molten steel. I really didn't expect to see this kind of oven here. Your Highness, with this thing, you can forge more sharp weapons, and even forge better armor than full-body armor made of iron."

Wang Dachui was very excited, but Li Si remembered something that Zhou Yue reported to him last night.

Anxi Cui began to grow a large amount of cotton more than 50 years ago, and distributed it to the world. The profits were extremely lucrative. He didn't think much about it at the time. Now that he heard the word "refractory brick", his first feeling was that there was a traveler, but then he felt something was wrong. In a sense, he is also a time traveler.

So the only possibility is that a group of historical contractors appeared in this world more than 50 years ago.

One of the historical contractors promoted cotton and invented refractory bricks. With enough steel, the flintlock was invented, and the steam engine was far behind?
No, still no.

The real crisis in this world lies in the invasion of monsters, so can the development of industry fight against monsters?

Many thoughts flashed through Li Si's mind, and he even wanted to ask Dian Wei, a historical reincarnation.

But in the end, he still calmed down, because when mentioning the Anxi Cui family, one had to mention the Ten Kingdoms of the Western Regions, and the Ten Kingdoms of the Western Regions were the headquarters of demons invading this world.

The Anxi Cui family has almost monopolized the trade with the ten countries in the Western Regions, and the exchanges between the two parties are very close, which is hard to say.

"If Dayan is still there, at least he is the nominal co-lord of the world. If the Anxi Cui family is infiltrated by demons, maybe they can still fight."

"However, Dayan was wiped out by the black-toothed barbarians created by the six powerful clans united with the Daoist sect. If Anxi Cui's betrayal at this time, I would like to see the expressions of these powerful clans?"

"Wait, aren't these aristocratic families so mentally handicapped?"

"Or is everyone confident that they can turn the tide?"

"I always feel that in this world, whether it is a powerful family, or the destiny formed by the will of the world, or even the historical reincarnation sent by the historical alliance, and the historical contractors, they are not very reliable."

"The world is too dangerous, but I am a newbie."

Thinking of this, Li Si no longer hesitated, clicked on the city building order, and chose to settle the junior legion achievements—an irresistible reward.

There are two types of achievement rewards.

One is a hundred god-arm crossbowmen equipped with standard god-arm crossbows. This sharp weapon was roughly copied by Li Si with the help of Lu Ban in the last file, and it has been equipped on a large scale. Still in continuous production, Li Si's plan is to eventually produce [-] pieces.

In the wild battlefield, the rate of fire of this thing is very impressive.

But it is really a defensive weapon when used in defensive battles and defensive battles.

Because it is completely possible to learn from the arquebus, a precise shooter is always responsible for shooting, and two people are responsible for winding the string behind, so that the rate of fire is increased.

In short, this kind of god arm crossbow is the nemesis of heavy armor units.

However, there are monsters in this world.

So the second kind of reward is very good, the blueprint of the enhanced god arm crossbow.

Li Si will never forget that in this world, the invasion of monsters is the main contradiction.

"Whether to settle the Legion achievement reward."

"Yes."

"Obtain the blueprint for strengthening the god arm crossbow. (Also known as the demon sniper)"

In a blink of an eye, there seemed to be light and shadow gathering in front of Li Si's eyes, and when it came into his hands, it turned into almost ten blueprints. The fresh smell of printing ink on it made him feel like he was dreaming.

Are you sure this isn't a joke?

Well, no kidding.

Li Si glanced at it quickly, and based on his understanding of the standard god arm crossbow, he knew that this thing is very violent, because this kind of enhanced god arm crossbow actually needs to be wound with gears. If it is made, it will start at least fifty catties. Dude, the rate of fire has to reach 2 minutes, but the power!
Li Si silently calculated, at least twice the starting point, maybe even three times, do you call this strengthening?

"No wonder it's called a demon sniper. This thing is not for conventional warfare at all, but for hunting demons."

"Wang Dachui, come here and look at these blueprints, can you make this thing?"

Li Si directly threw the blueprint over there, and it didn't matter if it was kept secret. The fate of this world was sifted through this kind of foreign thing.

"This—" Wang Dahammer held the blueprint as if possessed by a demon. It took him a quarter of an hour before he raised his head cautiously, "Your Highness, this thing is very exquisite. If you want to imitate it, you can do it. But the imitated finished product may have some flaws, I think that if I let my master handle it, it may be much better."

"Your master?"

"Yes, Your Highness, it is the Tuge who was taken away just now. I was a student in Xishan Town 20 years ago and received his guidance."

"Can you convince him to work for the lonely king?" Li Si suddenly became interested.

"This—I can't." Wang Dachui shook his head dejectedly. Although he respectfully called him a master, he was actually a retainer of the Xishan Lu family, and he was not sure whether he could remember him.

"Then you come, you bring people to tackle key problems, first use this thing to practice, there are so many iron materials here, and charcoal is also enough, if one is not good enough, then ten, it's no big deal."

Li Si ordered decisively, he can be regarded as seeing the influence of the powerful family now, those four level 5 craftsmen are almost the first-class master craftsmen in this world, but they are still loyal to Lucheng Lu's so far.

It also shows the degree of monopoly of the aristocratic family on talents.

To be honest, even if the four old men turned around and wanted to work for him, he would not dare to use it.

It is safer and more at ease to use craftsmen trained by themselves.
