Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 2318 Emperor's Secret Order
Thinking of Xu Chenming, Liu Ya told Cang Qianche her thoughts.He said again: "Brother Xu must be reliable. And his skills are also worth mentioning. The possible question now is whether he can dabble in mechanism skills, and can you teach him a little bit?"

Cang Qianche had a good impression of Xu Chenming, at least when he left Tianze Country, the fact that Xu Chenming ran all the way back showed that this man was still bloody.

Later he stayed in the barracks, and Cang Qianche also agreed.So when Liu Ya mentioned him, Cang Qianche nodded.

Cang Qianche said: "It's okay to teach him a little bit, but the deeper things are not. Because I am not a member of the Mu family, and I have no right to accept apprentices for the Mu family."

Liu Ya said: "As long as he can understand how to assemble it, it's fine. As for the parts of the crossbow, you can find others to process and make them."

Liu Ya simply explained the modern large-scale assembly line work to Cang Qianche, and then said: "Even if not everyone is proficient in mechanism skills, as long as the person who makes the parts is skillful, intelligent, and serious, he can do it well. You put The parts for making the crossbow are disassembled and distributed to several people to make, and then handed over to Brother Xu for unified installation. You only need to be responsible for debugging and inspection in the end.”

Cang Qianche was shocked after hearing Liu Ya's suggestion.Then he exclaimed: "Ya'er, you really have a good brain. You can think of such a method. That's great. In this way, you should be able to make several crossbows in a month."

Liu Ya smiled, and said: "If the craftsmen recruited are diligent enough and there are enough people, it is also possible to make dozens of them a month."

In this way, not only the quantity problem is solved, but also the confidentiality problem is solved.

As for the quality and safety, it should be guaranteed by Xu Chenming and Cang Qianche doing random inspections.

And no matter what it is, no matter how finely it is done, it is impossible to guarantee that it is [-]% qualified.Errors and faults within a small range are still allowable.

After Liu Ya's words, Cang Qianche became more confident.

And he also told Liu Ya all his ideas.Not only did he want to build a large ballista, he also wanted to make a siege artillery.

Liu Ya was surprised: "You also have this idea?"

"Of course." Cang Qianche nodded, and said: "The artillery has actually been used on the warships of the Nanyuan Kingdom for a long time, but there are only a few small cannons that can't play much role. If we do it, we want to do it Bigger, more artillery."

Liu Ya wondered: "There are cannons on the warships of Nanyuan Kingdom? If someone from Nanyuan Kingdom made them, then we can buy a few for use. Or we can ask them to customize them with money."

"I'm afraid it won't work." Cang Qianche shook his head, and said, "Nanyuan Country has kept secrets about the origin of those two cannons. Moreover, those two cannons were only placed on warships. One came to be placed in the imperial city for defense only, but was strictly rejected."

There are things, but the origin is unknown.And it cannot be manufactured on a large scale, which limits the development of firearms, but at the same time ensures that there will be no large-scale invasion.

Liu Ya understood the reason, but she was even more curious about the origin of those two cannons.

Liu Ya knows better than anyone the power of firearms, so once she knows that such a thing exists, she will inevitably feel a little bit worried and have some calculations in her heart.

Seeing Liu Ya thinking deeply, Cang Qianche stopped disturbing her.He fiddled with his few wooden boards on his own.

The carriage had been traveling for five days when suddenly a small group of officers and soldiers stopped their way.

Xiao Shu'er went forward to negotiate, but the other party dismounted respectfully, saying that he had brought the emperor's secret decree from the capital.

Liu Ya raised the curtain when she heard the sound, and Cang Qianche got off the carriage directly.

In the past few days, Cang Qianche has been drawing blueprints and making crossbows while on the road.As soon as he stopped, he stepped up and regained his strength, so now he is very deft in getting in and out of the carriage by himself.

In fact, it is not a problem for Cang Qianche to ride on horseback now.It's just that he feels sorry for Liu Ya's belly getting bigger and bigger every day, and he is afraid that Liu Ya will have to ride a horse if he rides, and he is also afraid that she will be bored in the carriage, so he simply rides with her.

After getting out of the car, Cang Qianche said loudly: "What secret decree, bring it to me."

The leader of the other party looked this way, saw Cang Qianche at a glance, hurried over, fell to his knees with a "plop", and said: "I have seen His Royal Highness. The villain is Guan Chengxian, the emperor's personal bodyguard."

Cang Qianche nodded and said, "I see, here's the secret decree."

But Liu Ya carefully looked at Guan Chengxian up and down, and said: "Wearing a military uniform, came from the capital all the way? Is the secret decree still a secret decree?"

Seeing Liu Ya's doubts, Guan Chengxian hurriedly said: "Go back to the imperial concubine, the emperor's order is urgent, we dare not delay and come all the way. When we left the imperial city, we were still wearing the costumes of the imperial guards. It was changed when passing by the post station. Wearing military uniforms is just for convenience on the road."

After finishing speaking, Guan Chengxian handed over his waist badge, untied his waist knife, and placed it on the ground in front of him.

And the people behind him followed suit one after another, handing over their badges and taking off their knives.It means respect and submission.

Feng Shusheng came over, checked the badges of those people, and then looked at their waist knives one by one.Then report back: "His Royal Highness, it is the exclusive waist knife of the palace guards."

Cang Qianche nodded, and once again asked Guan Chengxian to reveal the secret decree.

Guan Chengxian took out an envelope from his close-fitting clothes, and presented it with both hands.

Cang Qianche froze when he saw the envelope, frowned and said, "Isn't it an edict?"

If it is an imperial decree, it is presented in a special box.Even if it is a secret decree, it should be wrapped in a special envelope with sealing wax on the outside.

But such a casual envelope is indeed doubtful.

Guan Chengxian quickly explained: "This is written by the emperor himself. Then it was packed in such an ordinary envelope."

Only then did Cang Qianche take it over, and opened the envelope to read it.

Cang Qianche and Liu Ya are not afraid of poison.What they are worried about now is the authenticity of this so-called secret decree.

But after seeing it, Cang Qianche couldn't help laughing.

Liu Ya felt it was strange, and seeing Cang Qianche holding back her internal injuries, she said, "He just wrote a joke for you and sent it here?"

Cang Qianche nodded, and said, "It's about the same. Look, Ya'er."

Liu Ya took it over and smiled when she saw it.

It is true that the words written by the fourth prince are written on it, but there is nothing confidential, and there is no half a sentence of official language.It's just the tone of a child complaining to his elder brother, complaining about how difficult it is to be the emperor.
