I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 118: Crossbow arrows aim at the head and kill it instantly
It was almost evening, on the roof of Song Shen's house.

Nothing happened during the whole day and no one came to the door. It would be dark soon, and after the curfew, there would be no need to worry about anyone coming to the door. He would only have to be on guard against assassins. This made Jiang Lin feel a little relieved.

After all, Song Shen's presence in the court is very low now. Unless it is old acquaintances like Zhang Wei, Xu Yungong, or His Majesty, few people know that he lives here. Most people only know that Song Shen moved out of the Song family.

In addition, Song Shen doesn't have many enemies and acts quite low-key. In this situation, he doesn't need to be too nervous, as being nervous will only make him more likely to make mistakes.

Jiang Lin, who had just changed his squatting position on the roof, prayed silently in his heart that nothing would happen tomorrow. As soon as he finished praying to God, he opened his eyes and saw a carriage parked at the entrance of the alley.

The person who jumped out of the car looked very familiar.

The corner of Jiang Li's mouth twitched——

"Xu Yungong...it's you again!"

"It's almost dark, why the hell are you running here to look for Song Shen instead of sleeping at home? Are you sick?"

He cursed inwardly, but could only resign himself to imitating the sound of a bird. After the other Yiluansi officers who were lurking for protection nearby came over, he ordered them to inform the emperor of the matter as soon as possible. He also sent someone to inform Zhang Wei, asking Zhang Wei to find a chance to come and interrupt.

Jiang Lin also wanted to go by himself, but after all, the one who came was the eldest son of Duke Wei, and today's two imperial edicts were very important. He had to inquire personally and be careful not to let Xu Yungong say something he shouldn't.

trouble.

Too much trouble!

…………

Song Shen's house, study.

He is now a little happy and a little annoyed.

"Oh system, why didn't you remind me when I told you today? Today is Friday, and it's the weekend after class. I told them that the papers would be collected tomorrow. Doesn't this make me look stupid?"

Yes, Song Shen was not really busy during this period, but when it came to being idle, his mind would race for an hour or two every day at noon. Perhaps he also had to deal with messy things like making alcohol and Prince Yan's visit, and since he was blind, it was normal for him to forget his days.

Even if the students here are all fake...but when talking to them, they all seem like real people. Song Shen would feel very embarrassed if he made such a mistake!

[If the host needs it, the system can issue a reminder to inform your students of the postponed submission date. ]

"Then you tell me, I took into consideration that the questions this time were difficult, so I specially arranged the exam before the weekend so that they would have time to think about it."

Song Shen pondered for a long time before he found an excuse that sounded good.

The system agreed and then shut up quietly.

Only then did Song Shen happily enter the system mall.

This thing can be entered through consciousness even in the real world, so even if he is a blind man who can't see anything now, he can still browse the mall in the study like browsing Taobao.

6 points!
This is the first time he has earned points!
The last time he went shopping in the mall was the time before... No, no, no, the last time he went shopping was for the lottery. Song Shen didn't have any money to buy anything at all. Now he finally has some money in his pocket, and he can buy a lot within the price range.

As soon as he opened the mall, the things on the top almost blinded his already blind eyes.

Classification of food crops——

[Hybrid Rice Seeds: 10 points]

[Potato: 9 points]

[Sweet potato: 8 points]

[Corn: 7 points]

【…】

Song Shen: ...

Munitions Classification

[Armored Tank: 350 Points]

[RPG: 320 points]

[6 individual grenades: 300 points]

[M82A1 Sniper Rifle: 299 points]

[Desert Eagle: 288 points]

【…】

[Various bullet types: 2 points/each]

Song Shen:……? ?

He no longer wanted to open other categories. He was a little overwhelmed.

"No, system, I really can't stand you selling hybrid rice seeds for ten points. You can't save seeds of this stuff, even in modern times. Except for the parent seeds, other ordinary seeds will produce shape separation and reduce the yield by half. Why are they more expensive than potatoes and sweet potatoes?"

"If you insist on talking about research value, why don't you find a saint like Yuan Lao in the Ming Dynasty? If you can find one, I will kowtow to you right now!"

Song Shen cursed in his mind:

"And that crappy 8-gun classification. Fine, it doesn't matter if you sell it at a high price. I can't afford it now anyway. I'll buy it when I make more money. The problem is that you're selling me two points for one bullet, so why don't you just go and rob it?"

"I'm in the Ming Dynasty, but I'm a modern man with basic common sense. The cost of a brass bullet produced in our country is only a few cents, and it only costs two or three yuan to export it. Compared with a gun, you can't figure out the ratio? Are you taking me for an idiot?"

The system is silent.

Song Shen thought that it might have been scared by his scolding and didn't dare to speak.

But Song Shen couldn't bear it, he really couldn't bear it.

I got 6 points and thought I could spend them in the mall and buy a good meal, but when I opened the mall, I saw that the cheapest grain seed, corn, cost 7 points, which was unaffordable.

The only thing he could be thankful for was that he had drawn potatoes in the last lottery, which was worth 9 points. It was pure luck that he was able to draw it.

After thinking it over, Song Shen clicked on the [Filter] button in the upper right corner and lowered the price to below 7 points before taking a breath and continuing to look.

Something worth six points is neither too much nor too little.

"Principles of Economics", "Advanced Macroeconomics", "Advanced Microeconomics", "The Wealth of Nations"... Various books on economics, each at the same price is worth 6 points.

Song Shen silently pulled them into the "I don't like" category to avoid getting angry when he saw them later.

It’s not that he thinks money is not important. It’s just that he can make use of these things while preparing for classes. There is no need to waste points in the system mall.

Look further down...

Song Shen's eyes suddenly blinked out of nowhere.

[Flintlock Rifle Blueprint (16th Century Edition): 6 points]

Great, finally there’s something I can afford and use!

He didn't read any further and just clicked to buy.

Speaking of which, if Song Shen was not in the early Ming Dynasty, but in an earlier dynasty, then this thing would be more expensive. According to the commodity prices he saw now, he had roughly figured out the system's pricing standards.

The further away from the present and the higher the technological content of an item, the more expensive it is, while the closer it is to the present, the cheaper it is.

The flintlock rifle is actually a major advancement in the history of firearms, and it has been in the European army for more than 16 years, which is enough to show its stability and popularity. Historically, it was invented in the middle of the 6th century, which is only more than years ago, so it can be purchased at a low price of points.

But in fact, the value of the flintlock is much higher than this.

Song Shen guessed that perhaps by paying a little more, he could buy something like the red-coated cannon that was introduced in the mid-Ming Dynasty, but he believed that in the current Ming Dynasty, the red-coated cannon was of no use for the time being.

After all, we are not in a situation where we are surrounded by external enemies. The most we can do is to deal with Liaodong and Wala in advance. Using red cannons to fight nomadic peoples is tantamount to using a cannon to shoot a mosquito. This thing is more effective for attacking strongholds. Moreover, the cannon is too heavy, difficult to transport, and has very poor mobility.

The flintlock rifle was different.

This kind of thing, whether presented to the court or secretly made a few for oneself, is very useful. The most important thing is that it can be handed over to Chen Guorui and others for self-defense after going to the island country. The Japanese pirates may have seen firearms, but such a powerful and compact one, I am afraid they dare not even think about it?

As for what to do...it's a bit troublesome, after all, he is still blind.

Song Shen touched his chin, looking at the flintlock rifle drawing floating in the air in his mind, and fell into deep thought.

At this time.

There was a knock on the door.

Lan Yun's voice came from outside the door:

"Sir, the Mr. Xu Yungong who came this morning is here and is waiting at our door. Do you want to see him?"

Song Shen was surprised at first, and then he was happy.

Speak of the devil, and here he comes. Just when I was worrying about who to find, now someone has arrived at my door!

He said quickly:

"See, see! Invite him to my study, prepare some tea and snacks - oh, and ask the kitchen to get some wine and food, and send them directly to the room, and I will eat and talk with him!"

Not long after.

Xu Yungong walked into Song Shen's house with a confused look on his face.

Although he has come twice today and was received by the same maid in the morning and evening, the difference in the maid's attitude towards him is too great, isn't it?

In the morning, she was polite but obviously cold, but now she was very warm and didn't even invite him to the living room, but took him directly to Song Shen's study... Could it be that the person that Brother Ziwei didn't like was his brother-in-law Zhu Di???
With full of doubts, Xu Yungong knocked on the door and walked into Song Shen's study.

"Brother Ziwei, you..."

Before Xu Yungong could finish his greeting, he was interrupted by Song Shen.

"Hey, why are you so polite? Sit down quickly. By the way, did you have dinner before coming to my place? If not, I'm just about to ask the kitchen to prepare some food. Can I get you one too?"

The question mark on Xu Yungong's head was almost materializing.

This... Could it be that the person that Brother Ziwei dislikes is really Zhu Di? !

"Uh, well, I happened to be in a hurry and my stomach is growling, so I won't hold back."

After all, he was a good brother whom he had known for many years. Even if Song Shen had lost his memory, Xu Yungong did not bother to be polite with him in the face of such obvious warm hospitality and immediately agreed.

After Lan Yun brought the tea and snacks over and closed the study door, Song Shen drank a sip of tea and asked:

"Yun Gong, you just came this morning. I just asked them and they said it was getting dark and it was almost curfew. Is there anything important that you came to me for?"

Xu Yungong smiled bitterly and said:
"You seem to be enjoying the quietness at home and not knowing anything, but I can't stay at my house any longer!"

"I'm stuck at home, I don't dare go anywhere. Even now when I came out to look for you, I had to go out through the corner door in the alley. Otherwise, my front and back doors would be full of people, and I would be blocked by then."

"Ugh……"

He looked sad and just sighed, which made Song Shen curious.

"Oh? I really am oblivious to what is happening outside. I don't know anything. Can you please tell me what happened to make you sigh like this?"

Seeing that the topic had been raised, Xu Yungong said:
"It's about His Majesty issuing two imperial edicts today!"

"The first one is to ask all the princes who are training in Fengyang to return to the capital with their families. The second one is to..."

Before the imperial edict was finished, Xu Yungong suddenly felt a chill on his back and his hair stood on end, as if someone was aiming an arrow at his head.

People who have practiced martial arts for many years are always very sensitive to danger. If they feel there is danger, it is most likely that there is real danger.

Xu Yungong looked up in horror.

He saw that there was indeed a man on the beam, holding an exquisite, portable crossbow, staring at him with a gloomy face.

The crossbow arrow was aimed at his head!
It’s Jiang Li!
It was Jiang Lin, the Yiluansi guard who had accompanied His Majesty to the three camps before!
Xu Yungong immediately realized that something was wrong.

His Majesty was unwilling to let Song Shen know the contents of the two imperial edicts.

As long as he doesn't want to, and nothing unexpected happens, this matter will not reach Song Shen's ears. After all, he is a blind man with limited mobility who needs someone to accompany him wherever he goes. He also lives next door to Zhang Wei. He just needs to ask the servants in the mansion not to say too much. As long as Zhang Wei doesn't say too much, the imperial edict will never reach this study.

But something unexpected happened.

Xu Yungong himself was the accident.

Now, people like Jiang Lin are squatting on the roof of Song Shen's house all the time, holding a bow and crossbow ready to shoot him at any time. I am afraid that as long as there is something wrong, he can even kill him first and report later - even if he is the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, he is no exception!
At this moment, Xu Yungong truly realized how important Song Shen's position was to His Majesty.

At the very least, it is much more important than the anger of a duke.

"What is the second imperial decree?"

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Song Shen urged and asked curiously.

Jiang Li stretched his crossbow forward again, his eyes full of murderous intent, and Xu Yungong, who was being aimed at on the head, began to sweat on his forehead.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally said:
"Actually, this has something to do with you—my sister, Princess Yan, is really pregnant!"

Song Shen was confused: "?"

What the hell does this have to do with him?

Xu Yungong saw that the crossbow arrows on the beams had been lowered a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to make up:

"Because a concubine in the East Palace fell down and lost a little grandson, His Majesty, the Empress, and the Crown Prince have been worried for a long time. It just so happened that this happy event happened at this time, so His Majesty ordered to build a mansion in the capital, and when the grandsons grow up, they will live in it and stay in Yingtian to study."

"This matter is related to my family, so many people want to come over and visit. I was annoyed, so I came to you."

The crossbow arrows were completely put down.

Xu Yungong couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe his forehead.

Damn, my back is all wet!!!
