The Emperor's Son-in-Law

"Two distinguished guests?"

"who are they?"

Duan Chun asked doubtfully.

"The housekeeper didn't say anything. He just asked me to inform the prince to go and receive him as soon as possible."

The servant replied.

"I know, I'll go right away."

Duan Chun nodded curiously.

Being able to be a guest in Changguo Duke's Mansion made the housekeeper so cautious.

Guests who dare not reveal their identity.

I'm afraid the origin is unusual.

Duan Chun immediately asked Tao'er and Xing'er to bring him a basin, washed himself and then hurried to the outer courtyard.

Entering the outer courtyard, you can see two rows of burly men in armor standing on both sides of the courtyard.

There were actually more than thirty sergeants lined up on both sides, standing there motionless.

The entire outer courtyard was tightly guarded by these sergeants.

What surprised Duan Chun was that the two teams of sergeants standing on both sides wore almost the same armor.

But the color of the long tassel on the helmet is completely different.

The sergeant on the left has long white feathers on his helmet.

The sergeant on the right has blue feathers all over his helmet.

Duan Chun remembered very clearly that the long feathers on the helmets of his father's knights were all black.

He immediately guessed who the two distinguished guests were.

Duan Chun strode towards the main hall of the outer courtyard and just stepped onto the steps.

I saw A Niang sitting in the main seat, chatting and laughing happily with the two middle-aged men on both sides.

"My son, Duan Chun, pays homage to grandma."

Duan Chun said with fists clasped at the door.

"Chun'er is here, come and meet your two uncles."

Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"Boy, come here quickly."

An Guogong Li Wenkai waved and said.

Duan Chun strode into the lobby and faced the Duke of Zhen, Li Que, on the left.

There is also An Guogong Li Wenkai on the right who salutes respectfully with the courtesy of a junior.

"We are leaving for the border today."

"Before I leave, I have said goodbye to many old brothers in the past few days."

"Today I came specifically to say goodbye to Lao Duan."

Li Que smiled.

"My nephew has heard His Majesty talk about it."

"The two uncles are about to leave today."

"I thought that my two uncles had already left Beijing, so I didn't bother them at home."

"I didn't expect that my two uncles would make a special trip to our house."

"Junior is really ashamed."

Duan Chun said.

"My dear nephew, you're welcome."

"Actually, we both just went to the palace to say goodbye to His Majesty."

"It was His Majesty who reminded us that our good nephew has come up with a lot of good things."

"We must come to Changguo Duke's Mansion to see you."

Li Que smiled.

"Boy, what good stuff did you come up with?"

"Your Majesty actually values ​​it so much."

"Hurry up and take it out to open your uncles' eyes."

Li Wenkai asked anxiously.

"Uncles, wait a moment, my nephew will make arrangements immediately."

"By the way, uncles, my good nephew even prepared a gift for them at the farm."

"I thought I couldn't leave it in the hands of my two uncles."

"I just happened to give it to my two uncles today. I wish them a safe journey."

"Someone is coming."

Duan Chun shouted.

"My subordinate is here."

Zhang Wu's voice came from outside the hall.

"Bring the two horizontal knives I prepared and the arrow crossbows in the two wooden boxes."

Duan Chun said.

When making steel arrowheads at the farm, he asked the craftsmen to use carefully crafted iron alloy materials.

Two horizontal knives were specially made, as well as several new crossbows.

Just to give it to Dad to take to the Western Region.

Returning to the imperial city this time, Duan Chun brought some weapons with him and planned to present them to His Majesty.

But after thinking about it, I only brought arrowheads with me when I entered the palace.

These new weapons were not brought with them.

We can only wait until there are more weapons made in the farm.

Unexpectedly, the two uncles of the prince came to the house.

Duan Chun immediately thought of giving new weapons as gifts to the two gentlemen.

By building a good relationship with them, the military will have two more big customers in its business channels in the future.

As long as they are satisfied and willing to pay, the progress of building the military workshop will be achieved.

It can also save more events...

There is no way, Duan Chun is in urgent need of more preparation funds now.

Right now he is only making preliminary plans once the workshop is built in large numbers.

The wages and materials are all things that must be prepared in advance.

"Here!"

Zhang Wu took the order and left.

"Brothers, I have resigned."

"You guys can talk about business, let Chun'er receive the two brothers."

Zhang Feng stood up and said with a smile.

"Sorry to bother you, madam."

The two gentlemen clasped their fists together and saluted.

"Chun'er, it's a pleasure to entertain your two uncles."

Zhang Feng smiled slightly, turned and walked towards the back hall with the maid.

As soon as Zhang Feng left, the two gentlemen immediately became active, stood up and came to Duan Chun's side.

"Boy, are you really the one who made the spiral armor-piercing arrow?"

Li Wenkai asked excitedly.

"Yes, the two uncles must have tested the power of arrows in the palace, right?"

Duan Chunxiao asked.

"We've all tried it!"

"This new arrow is indeed far more powerful than all types of arrows currently in the Dakang Empire."

"The most important thing is, I'm waiting to hear what Your Majesty has to say."

"The price of this new arrowhead material is much lower than that of copper arrowheads."

"Boy, is this true?"

Li Que asked quickly.

"Yes, my nephew only found out when he went to his father's farm."

"My father used to make arrows from copper."

"The cost of making an arrowhead is enough to make seventeen copper coins."

"My nephew felt very distressed at that time."

"All the money that my father shot in the war was money!"

"So my nephew got a new material to replace it."

"The price is only five or six big coins at most."

Duan Chun replied.

"Five or six big coins..."

"It's cheaper than cast iron arrowheads!"

Li Wenkai said in disbelief.

"That's right, after the cast iron arrowheads are cast, they have to be processed and polished again."

"It costs a lot, but cast iron is very easy to break and damage."

"Especially when used on arrowheads, they hit stones after flying a long distance."

"If they are broken, they can't be used again."

"So my father and two uncles would rather spend money than choose copper arrowheads, right?"

Duan Chun said.

"Yes, so after seeing the new arrowheads from His Majesty."

"The two of us hurried to the Duke of Changguo's Mansion to ask you, kid."

"How many new arrows do you have? We want them all!"

Li Que said with shining eyes.

"Don't worry, uncles."

"I think His Majesty has also informed your uncles."

"In the future, my nephew will build a military workshop and make more new arrows."

Duan Chun said.

"Your Majesty didn't say you were going to build a military workshop..."

"Could it be that His Majesty has decided to let you build a new military workshop in the future."

"Specially build more new arrowheads?"

Li Que was pleasantly surprised.

"Uh..."

Duan Chun was speechless. His Majesty was smarter than he thought.

He thought His Majesty would tell the two most trusted dukes about this news.

It seems that he was talking too much.

"Yes, His Majesty did say so."

"You want your nephew to be responsible for the construction of the subsequent military camp."

"But His Majesty said that this matter must be kept strictly confidential."

"Otherwise, it will be difficult for my nephew to build a new military camp."

"Please don't tell anyone, uncles."

Duan Chun replied quickly.
