Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God
Chapter 28 King Shangwen's Tribute
"My dear ministers, do you have any daughters who are ready to get married?" King Shangwen looked at his ministers and asked.
“My girl is still young”
"My girl is married"
"My girl is missing and I'm looking for her"
"My girl is engaged"
.........
The ministers all said that it was just that their families could not find a beautiful girl of the right age, and if they pushed their daughters away, making her a princess would only be an empty title.
Seeing the boss's current character, he has to pay for the dowry himself. What is returned from the upper country is not called a betrothal gift, that is called a reward. The things that the upper country rewards the lower country will never fall into his pocket.
It costs a lot of money to raise a daughter, so it’s better to keep her by your side and collect the bride price. It’s not a loss!
Therefore, the ministers had a clear idea of what was going on. There was no reason for them to donate their own daughter.
Seeing the helpless look of his ministers, King Shangwen felt sorry for them. He asked them to calm down and said, "Why don't we select a beautiful girl from the people?"
Prime Minister Zhang hurried forward to object, "Your Majesty, this must not be allowed. Common girls cannot read or write, nor do they understand the rules of the palace. If they offend the emperor in the future, it will only bring disaster to the Ryukyu Kingdom. This must not be allowed."
"Alas, this doesn't work, and that doesn't work. Why don't you tell me what will work?" King Shangwen said a little anxiously.
At this time, Prime Minister Zhang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you married a beautiful girl last year. She was sixteen years old and has been kept in the palace for training. This year, she was also named a talented person. It is said that she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a humble person. Why not adopt her as your adopted daughter, name her a princess, and offer her as a tribute to the emperor of the upper country!"
"Ah!" Prince Shangwen cried out in shock when he heard what Prime Minister Zhang said.
This means sending one's concubines to the emperor of the superior country to play with. In modern terms, it means sending one's mistress to one's boss to play with.
Prince Shangwen felt that having one concubine less was not a big deal, but he felt it was embarrassing to give her away. He also had to give her to the emperor of a higher country. If the emperor knew that he was cuckolded, the consequences would be serious.
"This... requires me to think about it." Prince Shangwen said reluctantly.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this. If you are worried that this is against the etiquette, you can rest assured."
Prime Minister Zhang went on to say, "Back in the Tang Dynasty, the Empress Wu who ascended the throne first married her father as a talented woman, then married her son as a queen, and finally became the emperor herself. The etiquette of the royal family of the upper country is not something that we, the lower country, can understand."
"Oh, my dear, what you said makes sense." Prince Shangwen was not looking for a reason, but a way to sell his concubine.
When the ministers saw that King Shangwen agreed, they were sincerely happy that they no longer had to worry about donating gold and silver, and they no longer had to worry about losing both the dowry and their daughter.
I was also sincerely happy that my boss sold his mistress and that the company had once again resolved its business crisis.
The boss is happy, and the employees are even happier!
King Shangwen issued an imperial decree:
By the providence of Heaven, the King of the Ryukyu Kingdom proclaims: There is a talented woman named Lan, Fengzhen, who is prudent, diligent, gentle, kind, gentle, kind, and virtuous. She is granted the surname of King, established as a concubine's daughter, and canonized as Princess Zhen'd'Ak. I decree this.
Thus, the princess who had not appeared in the Ryukyu Kingdom for hundreds of years was created in the main hall of the Yaeyama Palace.
The whole country celebrates for the royal family, the king, and the princess!
The government and the public are celebrating, and all officials are toasting! Let's drink the boss' wine happily!
A few days later, Prime Minister Zhang took Princess Joan of Arc to the upper country of China to seek help.
Longya Village
After returning victorious, Wei Xiaobao held Shuang'er in his arms and took a deep sleep in the broad daylight, and did not wake up until the evening.
Wei Xiaobao stretched himself, still feeling a bit sleepy, and thought to himself: It seems that young people are only suitable for staying up late in bed, not for working overtime on the construction site! This bad habit must be changed!
After getting up, Wei Xiaobao went to the meeting room.
Master Qiu has come to see Wei Xiaobao three times since this afternoon, but each time he said he was still sleeping, so he just sat in the conference room and waited.
Seeing Wei Xiaobao coming, Master Qiu took out a Zhuge Crossbow and said, "Master, I have fulfilled your mission and finally made the sample crossbow."
When Wei Xiaobao saw it, he immediately became excited, picked up the Zhuge Crossbow and shot at the wall.
"Puff puff"
Three crossbow arrows were shot out and hit the wall, echoing and resonating.
Then he pulled the trigger repeatedly, and all ten crossbow arrows were fired.
"What's the range?" Since it was night and dark outside, he couldn't test it, so Wei Xiaobao could only ask first.
"The horizontal shooting range is 150 steps, and the upward shooting with the wind can reach 200 steps!" said Master Qiu proudly.
"Very good, very good. Master Qiu, thank you for your hard work!" Wei Xiaobao praised.
"If Hongqitang works at full capacity, how many crossbow machines and crossbow arrows can it produce in a day?" Wei Xiaobao asked again.
"There are more than 50 people in the workshop now. If all of them are used to produce repeating crossbows, we can produce 500 repeating crossbows and crossbow arrows a day." Master Qiu replied.
Wei Xiaobao closed his eyes and looked at the evil countdown of the Thief God System:
23 days 04 hours 22 minutes 18 seconds
It takes 1000 days to produce crossbows to equip 20 people. This time is a bit tight!
"Let's double the manpower and transfer Wu Sanniang and her people to help with production. We can't stop producing white phosphorus grenades. We have to ensure a production capacity of 200 grenades per day."
Wei Xiaobao then handed over a Tang sword style drawing that he had prepared long ago to Master Qiu.
"This is the pattern drawing of the Tang sword. You can make a batch of it using fine steel according to the pattern and size. If the steelmaking furnace is not enough, build a few more. If the water hammer is not enough, build a few more. We will try to make 20 fine steel Tang swords within 500 days." Wei Xiaobao said.
When Hall Master Qiu saw the pattern drawing of the Tang sword, his eyes lit up. This was a precious weapon that had been lost for hundreds of years. Back then, the Tang army bought three hundred years of peace for the Huns with the Tang sword. Hall Master Qiu was extremely excited that the Sect Master could produce a sample of the Tang sword.
Of course, this Tang sword was restored by later generations using computer simulation, appeared in a weapons magazine, and attracted the attention of Wei Xiaobao.
The Tang Dao is one of the four famous cold weapons in ancient China and is widely used by ordinary soldiers in the army.
Master Qiu had seen weapons made of fine steel a few days ago. If the army was equipped with Tang swords made of fine steel, the swords that could cut through iron like mud would make the soldiers on the battlefield as powerful as gods, and they would be able to chop melons and vegetables as if they were in an empty field. Just thinking about it would scare the enemy.
After listening to Wei Xiaobao's arrangements, Master Qiu immediately went down to make preparations.
As soon as Hall Master Qiu left, the three hall masters Yang Lin, Mao Shiba and Wu Sanniang came in together.
They came to invite Wei Xiaobao to the military camp to celebrate the victory.
After winning a battle, the troops should be rewarded, meritorious personnel should be commended, and celebratory wine should be drunk.
During the day, Yang Lin and several battalion commanders had already drawn up a list of meritorious personnel and listed the reward methods, and were waiting for Wei Xiaobao to announce it.
Wei Xiaobao looked at the list, which was full of outstanding figures from various battalions and companies, but he didn't know most of them. It didn't matter, as long as the soldiers knew Wei Xiaobao.
However, after looking at the list, Wei Xiaobao discovered a problem, that is, this army did not have a name yet.
