Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 499 Small moves, sharp weapons
After the surprises and reminiscing about the past, Wang Xuance also began to arrange a group trip to Annan.

For this group of second generations from Chang'an, Wang Xuance did not dare to neglect, or the entire Annan did not dare to neglect.

The reason is very simple. Behind this group of people are the top dignitaries on both civil and military sides of the court.

Annan's incident also did not affect Chang'an, and Wang Xuance was surprised that Shu'an didn't know about it, but several guesses about the reaction of this disciple surfaced in his mind.

"My lord, the price of rice in Chang'an has dropped by another cent."

Laifu's voice sounded beside Shu An, and there was a lot of exclamation in the words, as if lamenting that the common people were not easy.

One point may not make much difference to some of them, but it makes a big difference to these common people.

It may determine how much money they will have in their hands throughout the year, and whether they can eat an extra meal.

"This is also a normal thing. Others don't know Li Shimin's abacus, so how could I not know it."

Shu An said softly, don't look at the eyes of many people in Chang'an who were stunned by the huge amount of money, but this emperor is secretly doing some tricks.

If you are more careful, you will find that there are several rice shops in Chang'an.

The prices of these rice shops are a bit lower than those of some rice merchants in Chang'an, and the price reductions are not gradually falling every day.

It can be said that people were tricked unconsciously, and Shu An was sure that Li Shimin did not only do such things in Chang'an.

We must know that compared with Annan's money, this food is the bulk, because food is sustainable.

But if the money is used up, it will be used up. I don’t know how long it will take to accumulate so much money.

But generally speaking, it is still a good thing for ordinary people, at least they will not just try to have enough food and clothing like before.

Lai Fu on the side smiled wryly and said nothing, because he didn't dare to comment on that Majesty.

And the master really dares to say it, but the master is not afraid of this majesty in the world.

"I just don't know when those aristocratic families noticed."

Shu An thought silently, behind those rice merchants were some aristocratic families, of course, besides the aristocratic families, there were also some ministers in the court.

But obviously the position can't reach the top level, otherwise it would definitely not be so stupid.

Similar to Changsun Wuji, who had already abandoned the grain selling industry, anyway, Changsun's family mainly focused on iron smelting.

There is nothing for Changsun Wuji, and the interests of sucrose can completely fill this vacancy.

Shu An doesn't want to see Changsun Wuji because of the previous reasons about Wugou, but to be honest, Changsun Wuji's character can undoubtedly lead a better life.

Only interests come first, Changsun Wuji is very pure on this point, of course, this important minister in history is not without misjudgment.

Any short-term benefits don't mean much. Of course, Changsun Wuji is still good at present.

Just as Shu An's thoughts were racing, there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming, it was a guard.

"My lord, someone made a bed crossbow."

The voice of the guard spoke with a hint of joy. It has been several months since Shu An gave the blueprint, and now there is finally some progress.

"Has the bed crossbow been made? Go and have a look."

Shu An was taken aback for a moment, then said, he still noticed this group of carpenters.

Basically, he was busy testing the bed crossbow from morning to night, even if he asked the guards to give these people a holiday.

Although there was no result before, Shu An did not intend to disturb them.

After all, if it were him, he might not be able to do it in a few years. After all, there are some things that require talent and opportunities.

He didn't expect to give him a big surprise now. After thinking of this, Shu An didn't hesitate.

The place where the carpenter made the bed crossbow was no longer the open space before, but a place not far from the academy was rebuilt.

Of course, the choice of distance is equally ingenious, so that the incoming noise will not affect the students.

In less than a few steps, Shu An's figure came to this venue, with a hint of curiosity on his face.

The reason is very simple, that is, this time it seems that it is not what he imagined.

At first he thought that it was that Lu Mu who made it again, but it was not the case, Lu Mu is now hanging on the sidelines dejectedly.

Instead, the focus of the crowd was on another middle-aged man, whom Shu An vaguely remembered was Wu San.

"Master is here."

"Quickly take a seat."

Shu An's arrival was also seen by these carpenters, and they couldn't help but panic for a while.

These carpenters are not Xiaobai when they first came here. They know that this master is the world-famous Duke Anxuan.

Among them, they have also seen a lot of the lives of those farmers in the farm, and many of them even secretly made up their minds to follow this master.

Even if it is to set up a household in the farm, it is a pity that it is not so easy. I can only sigh why I did not meet An Xuangong.

Now for the sake of Shu'an and to motivate these carpenters, he has made a lot of promises.

Whether it is money or the allocation of houses for them to settle down, these carpenters are enough to move their hearts.

It's a pity that this matter is destined to only a few people, because there are not many vacant houses.

At least these carpenters don't think everyone can have this qualification.

Naturally, they worked harder, but unfortunately these carpenters were destined not to represent Shu An's thoughts.

When Shu An came near the bed crossbow, he saw at a glance that it was similar to the shape of the design drawing he gave.

"How about the power?!"

Shu An said softly, he naturally didn't expect to achieve the power he expected from the beginning.

"Master, the crossbow is about [-]% more powerful than before."

Wu San spoke respectfully beside Shu An, apparently already prepared.

"Yes, you deserve the reward. If you have a wife and children, you can come to Chang'an."

Shu An said with a gentle expression, apparently he didn't mind rewarding the carpenter in front of him.

No matter what method he uses, as long as he does it, he should be rewarded, so it is also appropriate to set an example.

After the demonstration was over, Shu An's people also left, and the current bed crossbow was not powerful enough.

There is still room for improvement, and it is enough to explain the tasks of the next stage.

And with Shu An's departure, Wu San also became the focus among the carpenters.

The addition of Shu An's promise on top of the original reward made these carpenters look envious.

Lu Mu, who was one step ahead before, was completely marginalized. It can be said that Feng Shui took turns.
