【Catapult Drawing】

Introduction: After using it, you can learn how to make a catapult. The catapult is a machine that can be equipped with stones to throw and cause huge damage. The biggest disadvantage is that the machine itself is heavy and it takes a lot of time to assemble the stones used for throwing. .

……

There are four drawings in total. Except for the 'ammunition' drawing of the large crossbow, the remaining three are all related to territorial defense.

If it was just one or two drawings, Su You might not think there was anything wrong, but here are four related drawings, which made her wonder if something was going to happen soon.

Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, Su You took out the drawings with a natural expression, then looked at Bai Qiu and asked, "Where did these four drawings come from?"

Bai Qiu was startled, then looked at the blueprint in Su You's hand: "What blueprint? Can you show me first?"

He didn't know what was dug out of their cargo box?
Su You was a little puzzled, but she didn't say much, and directly gave the blueprint to Bai Qiu.

I saw Bai Qiu holding the drawing and looking at it again and again, with a strange expression on his face.

"This blueprint..." Bai Qiu paused for a few seconds, as if trying to organize his words, and after a while, he chose to tell the truth.

Bai Qiu: "We traded this box in a nearby territory. You saw it just now. There are ores in this box. We can't dig it all out to check, so the blueprint is likely to be forgotten by the people in that territory. of."

The ore is heavy, and it is troublesome and tiring to turn it over, so they simply checked the quantity, and did not take it out for inspection piece by piece.

It was precisely because of this that neither Bai Qiu nor the territory that traded with them found that there were several blueprints that were worth dozens of boxes of ore in this box.

If Su You hadn't seen the text prompts of the four drawings under the text on the pile of ores, she might not have discovered it, because the box contained copper ore, and because of the existence of the chain of mines, there was no shortage of copper ore in the territory. It's a copper mine.

Even if she wants to stockpile resources, she must also stockpile resources that cannot be obtained, instead of just buying them casually like a fool with a lot of money. It is definitely cheaper to buy resources from other people in the territory than from caravans. .

"So it's like this..." Su You suspected that the truth was not like this.

Of course, this is not to say that Bai Qiu is lying, Su You knows that what he said should be true, but this is just what he believes to be the truth.

These four drawings are not said to be priceless, but they are also worth hundreds of gold coins... These are just four thin pieces of paper. They can be placed anywhere. How could they appear in such a place?

But as long as you consider that this is a world controlled by some kind of existence, everything makes sense.

Su You suspected that these blueprints were sent to her on purpose. As for the reason, she had already guessed something, but she was not sure yet.

In any case, Su You definitely wanted to buy this blueprint, after all, it was specially sent to him, not to mention that the territory itself needed this kind of thing.

Su You: "I need these four blueprints, what's Captain Bai's opinion?"

Although they knew in their hearts that there was a high probability that they were sent to him on purpose, but in the eyes of Bai Qiu and the others, these four blueprints did not belong to them, and they could choose to ignore them or return them.

But Su You definitely hoped that they wouldn't return it because she needed to buy it, so she could only see what Bai Qiu meant first. After all, he was currently the captain of the caravan.

I thought I would need to struggle for a while, but Bai Qiu gave the answer almost without thinking.

"Since it is already in our hands, it is naturally ours. Lord Su doesn't have to be so honest and kind as we think... After all, we are businessmen." Bai Qiu returned the blueprint to Su You with a smile, and did not say anything. What hypocritical explanations are given for their own behavior.

Su You herself wanted this blueprint, so she would not comment on Bai Qiu's behavior.

"In that case, Captain Bai, let's set a price." Although the drawings were procured for free, Su You didn't expect Bai Qiu to give them to her for free, and even if they were given to her for free, she couldn't accept them.

After all, this thing is not very clean in the first place, and it is more appropriate to pay for both money and goods.

After the previous events, Bai Qiu also seemed to know that Su You could not receive blueprints for free, so he was not polite. The blueprints for the city defense crossbow and the blueprint for the catapult were both 150 gold coins, the blueprints for the arrow wall were 450 gold coins, and the blueprints for the large crossbow were [-] gold coins. , a total of [-] gold coins.

Su You knew that the price was right, so she didn't worry about the price of the drawings. After paying the money, she got the drawings directly.

After that, it took some time to choose some other things, and these things made Bu Guo negotiate the price.

After this trip, I spent another three hundred gold coins.

After the transaction was over, Bai Qiu went to find Su You specifically, with the purpose of asking about the formulas or medicinal properties of certain herbal medicines.

Although she had given her a brochure of herbal medicines from Cold Wind Valley before, the information in it was not complete, so the Tianhong Caravan would focus on purchasing the herbs in the brochure.

The Tianhong caravan made a lot of money because of this batch of herbs, and the income of those under it has doubled during this period, not to mention the few people who are in the position of captain and deputy captain.

After they tasted the sweetness, they naturally wanted to make more money, but each herb has a limit, and Cold Wind Valley will not plant these herbs for them just because they only need them, and the others are not. planted.

Therefore, if they want to make money, they can only buy and sell other herbal medicines and expand the types of herbal medicines they sell as much as possible.

However, they don't know the uses of other herbs, so they are not easy to sell, and they are even prone to lose money...

Bai Qiu: "The current situation is like this. As long as Lord Su is willing to say something, the caravan will also give a certain reward."

Bai Qiu was honest, and directly explained the current situation of Tianhong Caravan regarding herbs, although there must be something hidden.

For example, did he want to do this behavior spontaneously, or was someone hinting him to do it behind the scenes.
