Great Qin Emperor Teacher: I teach Ying Zheng to become an emperor through the ages!

Chapter 64 Lu Buwei's Mind

Lu Buwei's enthusiasm made Qin Chuan uncomfortable.

Others served tea, but Lu Buwei served wine and meat directly. It really is the Great Qin Dynasty, which is close to the customs of Rong and Di.

Soon, a table of delicacies from mountains and seas will be complete.

Qin Chuan and Lu Buwei sat opposite each other, and beside them, a pretty girl with a curvaceous figure was pouring wine.

"The last time Mister came, it was when the truth was attracting customers."

Qin Chuan smiled awkwardly:
"The prime minister brings up old things again, haha, it's not what it used to be. Now that the prime minister is highly valued by the king, Qin Chuan should congratulate him."

"Stop it!"

Lu Buwei picked up a vegetable leaf with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it lightly, and said calmly:

"Sir, you don't pursue fame and fortune, otherwise, the official position in the court, whichever you like, will be in your pocket."

Qin Chuan: "."

Lu Buwei is harming him.

If Mr. Ben has his eyes on the throne, does the throne also belong to Mr. Ben?
"Cough cough."

Qin Chuan coughed twice,

Lu Buwei still didn't completely regard Qin Chuan as his own, and his words revealed precautions, so Qin Chuan hurriedly cut to the chase and adjusted the topic.

"Actually, Mr. Qin came here to discuss with the prime minister about something!"

Lu Buwei looked at Qin Chuan with some resentment in his eyes:
"Mr. is out of sight. Your Majesty asked me to cooperate with my husband in reforming the imperial examinations. You and I are officials in the same dynasty. If you need help with anything, just ask me, and I will do it!"

Seeing this, Qin Chuan nodded in satisfaction, with a smile flickering in his eyes.

"The prime minister is straightforward, so let me tell you bluntly that Qin Chuan wants to ask the prime minister for some craftsmen, including carpenters and blacksmiths."

The manpower of the weapons department was also tight, and Qin Chuan didn't dare to open his mouth like a lion.

With skilled workers, Qin Chuan can let these people teach those who don't, so as to achieve labor self-sufficiency.

"Craftsman. There are no craftsmen in the prime minister's mansion."

Qin Chuan took a sip of Qin wine, a little bit astringent, and said calmly:

"I'm talking about the skilled craftsmen of the Weapons Department. I don't know if the prime minister can pick out a few people and give them to Qin."

Lu Buwei: "."

People in the court know that it is not surprising that he is in charge of the Weapons Department, but it is the first time that someone from the Weapons Department is important.

In recent years, Daqin Ruishi has expanded rapidly.

What followed was a sharp increase in the demand for weapons.

Such a good blacksmith and carpenter are as important as generals and counselors in the army, and they are talents that all countries are eager for.

Daqin may use foreign troops at any time, the production of weapons is in short supply, and the weapons department is also somewhat stretched.

What's more, the state of Qin manufactures weapons and has its own manufacturing process.

According to historical records, Qin's crossbow arrows can shoot farther than other countries' crossbow arrows, and Qin's swords are longer and stronger than those of other countries.

This important information must never be released.

And once the craftsmen of the Weapons Department leaked out, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the information would be transferred to other countries, and the victims would be Daqin Ruishi.

"If you say anything else, sir, you can agree to the truth, but this matter"

Lu Buwei hesitated to speak.

He is also very difficult.

As the prime minister of Great Qin, he is not only responsible to the king, but also to the people of Qin and millions of soldiers.

Qin Chuan subconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth.

"I know what the prime minister is worried about. As for Qin's secrets, the prime minister can rest assured that Qin Chuan can guarantee with his head that he will never leak the secrets."

Lu Buwei believed in Qin Chuan, because Qin Chuan had saved his life under the butcher knife of the Queen Mother Huayang.

But he still needs to think carefully about this matter.

Qin Chuan also felt a little abrupt. The people in the Weapons Department were all important talents in Daqin, and it was not kind to bluntly poach the wall.

"Does the Prime Minister know that you have trained a team of only a hundred people?"

"Mr. is talking about Yinqi. I have heard the truth about it, but I haven't seen the true face of Lushan Mountain. It is said that this team only obeys the orders of the sir."

Ordinary officials training soldiers will be charged with treason.

But Qin Chuan is different, he is the prince and the prince, and it is his duty to train soldiers to protect the prince's safety, not to mention that he has Mu Gongjian in his hand.

"The prime minister is wrong. This team not only obeys the orders of the subordinates, but also obeys the orders of the king, the crown prince, and the prime minister!"

Sentence trap!

Qin Chuan talked to Lu Buwei, except being cautious.

"Recently, I intend to build a weapon for this team, a type of crossbow, which is completely different from the previous Qin crossbow."

Lu Buwei: "."

Coincidentally, the Weapons Department of the State of Qin has been improving the crossbows a lot recently.

Today's Qin State crossbow arrows have a guaranteed range, but they are too heavy, and the bowstring is extremely difficult to draw.

This gave Lu Buwei a headache!
"Sir, do you have any good ideas?"

Lu Buwei's eyes lit up immediately.

If Qin Chuan really has a way and is willing to share it with him, he would be willing to exchange a few craftsmen.

Lu Buwei's mind is very active.

Since Qin Chuan can improve weapons, it means that he has something in his mind. Such a smart person just has poor hands-on ability.

And the idea is the most important. People who have ideas and put them into practice will always find them!

Even if you don't ask for craftsmen from him and spend some financial and material resources, you can still find them from other places in Qin State, it's just a waste of energy.

Qin Chuan was obviously not on guard against Lu Buwei, and asked softly:
"Do you have the Four Treasures of the Study?"

Lu Buwei waved his hand, and the maid who was waiting on the side quickly went to look for pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and quickly brought them over.

Then I saw Qin Chuan coming to the desk, leaning over the desk and drawing. Although it was a bit scribbled, the outline could still be seen clearly.

Soon, a model emerged on paper.

That is clearly the pattern of Zhuge Liannu.

The shape of the pattern is weird, with a wooden box, a handle, and a trigger. It doesn't look like a bow and arrow.

"Sir. Is this a crossbow bolt?"

Qin Chuan nodded like a pounding garlic, and began to introduce:
"Prime Minister, the name of this thing is 'Zhuge Liannu'. Have you seen the wooden box above? This is the arrow box, which can hold ten feathered arrows. In the case of individual combat, ten bows and arrows can be used in rapid succession. Shoot, the power is great!"

"This"

Of course Lu Buwei didn't believe it.

The current crossbow arrows can only hold one arrow on a crossbow, and after shooting, you need to replace the feather arrows and pull the crossbow again.

This is extremely dangerous for crossbowmen.

It's okay if you hit the target, but if you miss, you will give the enemy a chance to counterattack.

But if the crossbow arrows can be fired continuously and the firepower is suppressed, the enemy can only sit and wait for death!

is a baby.

Lu Buwei immediately realized that this is a good thing, if it can be made, it can even lead to a weapon reform.

The legal system can be changed, the imperial examination system can be changed, but can't weapons be changed?
Of course it is also possible!
Lu Buwei immediately became interested and said excitedly:

"Sir, sit down quickly and tell Truth about this Zhuge Liannu carefully. By the way, Sir doesn't want a craftsman. Tomorrow, Truth will send skilled craftsmen to Sir's residence."
