Royal Road - Chapter 103

[Chapter 103]
&nbAs May approaches, the weather is getting warmer.
I don’t know if he drank too much medicated food. Liang Feng has been losing his appetite recently. He didn’t want to eat sticky millet rice and bean porridge, so he asked the kitchen to develop a bunch of pasta, mainly soup noodles.
At this time, there are also soup cakes and watery cakes. The soup cakes are noodle soups, with a short width and width. The watery cakes are closer to noodles, narrow and thin, but both are directly pulled out by hand, and there is no posterity at all. Liang Feng, an authentic northerner, naturally scoffed at the strength of rolling out the noodles.
&nb So under his guidance, after repeated improvements, the kitchen finally developed fine noodles.
The chef obviously worked hard, rolling out the noodles very thin, and then using a fast knife to cut them into small pieces, the noodles made of fine roots are clearly defined. Roll it with chicken broth, sprinkle with chopped green onion and parsley, and add a few pieces of white shredded chicken. A good meal.
&nb The noodles are suitable for making cold noodles. Cut cucumbers, add some garlic juice, pour them on the cold water, sprinkle with a pinch of flax, and refresh your teeth.
Or stir-fry it with pork sang and soy sauce to make a fried sauce and mix it in noodles.
&nb Delicious food like this, let alone Liang Feng, even Liang Rong loves it very much.
The lunch meal of the father and son naturally changed.
Although it is not quite like Gaomen’s pie, it is better than simple and delicious. Occasionally add two side dishes, and you can eat it with great taste.
&nb After eating the hot chicken noodle soup, Liang Feng took the handkerchief handed by Green Bamboo and wiped the sweat on his forehead, then rinsed his mouth with water, before looking at the little guy who put down his chopsticks obediently.
It may be that he ate sweetly, and his little face was flushed red and looked very cute.
Liang Feng smiled slightly, and suddenly asked, “Rong’er often goes to the school recently?”
&nbLiang Rong had a round belly, and it was when he was relaxed and comfortable that he didn’t expect such a question, as if being picked up The rabbit with its ears pierced seemed to stay in place for a while.
After a long while, he bowed his head in shame: “Rong’er is naughty, please ask my father to punish him.”
&
nb “I just went to the school to see, why is there any reason?” Liang Feng replied with a smile.
In fact, it took Liang Rong so long to run out to peep, which surprised him.
Fortunately, the little guy is still curious about the school.
&nb “After reading it, what do you think of the school in the mansion?” Liang Rong’s attitude towards the school was what he cared about most.
&nbLiang Rong hesitated for a while before saying: “The things taught in the school are simple, but there are so many people, I didn’t expect so many people to go to school together.”
&nbHe answered simply, but there was no lack of desire in his black eyes.
A child after all.
Liang Mansion is too lonely for Liang Rong, even if there are servants to accompany him to play, even if he has his own care and care, and grows up without his companions, it is an irreparable shortcoming.
&nb But the school is not suitable for Liang Rong.
Not to mention the low status of the students in the school, the things taught there are also vastly different from Liang Rong’s academic progress and goals.
This is a problem caused by class. With an identity like Liang Rong, he can only enter a private school that suits him.
&nb It seems that Cui Daru’s suggestion still needs to be considered.
Or kidnap a competent teacher from the Cui family?
After all, it is also very important to have excellent teachers. Married people like Jiang Da and Duan Qin also have to worry about the education of their children.
If they can’t provide it on their own, they can only keep their children in their hometown to study.
And if there is a private school in the mansion, and the standard is good, they will bring their family members over, so the cohesion and centripetal force will naturally improve.
Not to mention the so-called companion reading effect.
&nbEducation is really a big problem.
&nb After trying to understand the seriousness of the matter, Liang Feng comforted: “When Rong’er is six years old, my father will find you a suitable teacher. Then you will be able to study in the new school like them.”
&nb Liang Rong knew what Father said.
Last time he could still say that he wanted to stay by his father’s side, but this time, he couldn’t say it.
Father is getting busier these days, and he has to worry about his studies and read a lot of scriptures to him.
If he acts willfully because he doesn’t want to leave the Liang residence, I’m really sorry for my father’s painstaking efforts.
Also, the school looks really interesting.
&
nb bit his lip tangled, and he nodded silently.
Liang Feng smiled and rubbed his little head. It seemed that he had to go back to the county seat.
&nb※
&nb “Finally done!” Liu Jian picked up the things on the case, carefully checked it two or three times, and said excitedly, “This time there is absolutely no problem!”
&nb “Would you like to show it to the master for inspection?” The craftsman rubbed his hands nervously, very apprehensive.
&nb “Of course I’m going! Let’s go, let’s go together!” Liu Jian replied without hesitation.
&nb “This…how dare the villain offend the master…let Master Liu go alone…” The craftsman hurriedly shook his head.
&nb “If the master asks about production, I can’t answer. Hurry up! Hurry up!”
&nbAlthough Liu Jian is not as unreasonable as his younger brother, he is quite stubborn when he is stubborn.
How could the craftsman speak to him, so he had to follow.
After a while, the two came to the main courtyard and saw what Liu Jian was holding, Liang Feng’s eyes lit up: “The teacher made a promise, but the hand|crossbow was made?”
&nb “Exactly!” Liu Jian strode up before handing over the things in his hand.
&nb This is a new type of crossbow that is a fraction of an ordinary size bow|crossbow. The bow body is only a little over two feet. It looks extremely compact, and the weight is not very heavy. It can be picked up with one hand.
The above is not a general feather arrow, but a shorter crossbow | arrow, which seems to be specially made.
&nb After testing the tension of the bowstring, Liang Feng immediately asked, “How much range can this hand | crossbow have?”
&nb “Eighty steps can pierce armor! But it can only be cloth armor and leather armor, not iron armor.” Liu Jian replied immediately.
&nbThis is much stronger than ordinary bows and arrows!
The effective killing/injuring range of a bow is generally fifty steps, while the imperial weapon can reach a hundred steps, but the big yellow crossbow requires a strong soldier to use it. One stone (about 30 kilograms) of strength, and if you want to pull the ten stone yellow shoulder crossbow, you need ten stone strength, and the range is said to be up to four or five hundred steps!
&nb But this number, Liang Feng just listened to it.
The ten stones are not for individual soldiers, they can only be used as defensive crossbows.
This kind of big guy is not something that Liang Mansion can covet at present.
It is extremely rare to be able to transform the rhubarb crossbow and make it slightly smaller.
This is also thanks to Liu Jian, a mathematician, who can miniaturize the crossbow.
&nb “Go and have a try. Come on, find a wooden target! Bring Yi Yingzheng as well.” Liang Feng stood up, took the crossbow and walked outside.
&nb People did things very neatly, and they brought wooden targets in a short time.
Liang Feng raised the crossbow machine with one hand and wanted to test the shot, but the craftsman on the side just stopped him: “Lang lord, this thing has a great thrust, it is better to use both hands!”
&nb□□There is also a reaction force?
Liang Feng looked at his slender wrists, and he couldn’t help but change his hands with a wry smile.
Today is not what it used to be. Back then, you could hold a gun with one hand, but now you can only follow standard actions.
He didn’t need to change his posture, he directly picked up the gun-holding posture he had practiced for half his life.
Not to mention, the crossbow’s crossbow is above the “Wangshan”, and there are scales, just like the rear sights on modern firearms.
&nb Familiarly aiming at the target red heart, he pulled the trigger, only to hear a buzzing sound, and shot out.
Right in the heart!
At the same time, there was a sharp pain in his arm, not because the reaction force of this thing was too strong, but because his arm couldn’t hold it.
&nb “Lord Master shot!” Someone on the side has already started to flatter.
&nb Liang Feng smiled wryly and shook his head, the bull’s eye is so big, it would be a shame to miss it again.
The target was taken back, and Liang Feng checked it carefully. It was true that he could only nail it to the target at 80 steps, and could not penetrate the plank.
This kind of distance, even if the winding speed is fast, it will only take two rounds at most to catch the enemy, which seems to be a bit inconvenient.
&nbAt this time, Yiyan also came to the courtyard, and saw the hand|crossbow in Liang Feng’s hand at a glance: “This is a new crossbow?”
&nb”The craftsman just developed it, you try it.” Liang Feng’s hand|crossbow handed over.
&nb Yiyan did not shirk, took over the crossbow machine, pulled the string and set up the arrow, raised one hand and shot at the target.
It is also in the middle of the red heart, but his expression has not changed at all, obviously he did not take that little reaction force into his eyes.
Liang Feng looked a little jealous, but the red mark on his wrist hadn’t gone down yet, and he probably couldn’t compare to the kid in front of him in his life.
&nb “It’s okay to be accurate, but the tension is a bit large when winding, and it is estimated that the launch will be a lot slower.” Yi Yan directly gave his judgment.
&nbLiang Feng nodded, turned his head and asked the craftsman, “How much does a crossbow cost?”
&nb “With Master Liu’s improvement, it only takes five thousand dollars!” The craftsman replied excitedly.
&nb Liang Feng almost didn’t ask a question, how much money?
Five thousand dollars!
A bow is less than eight hundred dollars, which is ten times more!
&nb “The price of making such a crossbow machine is this?” Liang Feng resisted the pain and continued to ask.
&nb “It’s about the same. Some light crossbows that shoot fifty steps may be cheaper, only about 3,000 yuan. A stone crossbow basically costs around 8,000. The main reason is that the crossbow machine is too cumbersome, and it uses copper and iron, so it’s not cheap.” The craftsman also came from the prefecture’s arsenal, and is very familiar with the price in this area.
&nb It seems that the strong army is all made of money.
It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to assemble a team of crossbowmen casually, and he is really not that rich.
&nb “Bo Yuan, do you think this crossbow is useful?” Liang Feng turned his head and asked Yi Yan.
&nbThe other party also saw the problem with this thing long ago, and shook his head: “Infantry is not good, there are fewer people now, it is better to train archers. But cavalry can be equipped with some.”
&nbThe biggest advantage of the crossbow is that anyone can use it, even if not You can shoot arrows, and you can easily get started.
But it only makes sense to set up a crossbow team when there are many people and strong financial resources.
Otherwise, that point of crossbow, it is really better to practice a few more archers.
However, the cavalry is different. The difficulty of riding and shooting is too high. Even if you can master equestrian skills, you may not be able to accurately mount and shoot.
This crossbow is just not big, and its range is farther than that of a bow. It is perfect for those light-armored cavalry.
&nb “Then I’ll give you sixty cards first.” Gritting his teeth, Liang Feng said.
Now the cavalry has just recruited sixty people, which is just a small number and can handle it.
Anyway, the cavalry thing is expensive enough to make his liver hurt, and it is not less than a few hundred thousand dollars.
&nb “How long does it take to build these hands|crossbows?” Liang Feng asked.
&nb The craftsman pondered for a moment: “There is a Tiefang building a crossbow machine, and three helpers for the little one, two months is enough!”
&nb Liang Feng: “…”
&nb Okay, he knows this thing burns Money burns time.
However, research and development, it is really impossible without this ring.
And we have to continue to try to make other military products.
&nb After thinking about it, he said: “Go back to the iron workshop to circle it alone and move some into the valley. You and other craftsmen will go there, and then send a team of soldiers to set up checkpoints and keep it strictly confidential. These crafts must not be spread outside, and offenders will be killed. No forgiveness!”
&nb The craftsman shrank his neck.
However, he actually knew that in his heart, because crossbows and armor were truly prohibited items, there was a real risk of beheading if they were found out.
&nb “But this time the crossbow did a good job. Each person was given 3,000 yuan and two pieces of silk cloth, which was considered a reward. If the continuous crossbow and shoulder crossbow are improved in the future, there will be a big reward!” Liang Feng can clearly distinguish this point.
&nb Hearing this, Liu Jian and the craftsman were both excited: “Thank you, sir!”
&nb With such a money-burning military factory, it seems that they need to make some civilian equipment to make up for it.
Or try to improve the shock absorption of the car?
Alas, raising soldiers is really not easy…
