Zhang Feng couldn't take it anymore.
He had just tricked him into giving up the liquor formula. Although in the end, Zhang Feng was still careful and kept the most important blending and distillation formula.
But when he thought of this, Zhang Feng felt uncomfortable.
Extremely uncomfortable.
He had been playing with the eagle all day, but in the end, he was pecked in the eye by the eagle.
Seeing that Zhang Feng was about to leave, Li Shimin grabbed Zhang Feng's hand and pressed him down on the recliner. He even personally brought him a cup of tea and said, "Feng Zi, you don't have to do this, right? Who are the two of us? I have a lot of businesses. If it wasn't for your help, how could I, Lao Li, be where I am today? So, what's mine is yours, yours … "
"What's mine is still mine!"
Zhang Feng promptly interrupted Li Shimin.
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, yes. You're right. But as you can see, it's a chaotic time now. If we don't have a good job, how are we going to survive? Not to mention other things, even the government doesn't like us very much. That's why I had no choice! "
"Taking a step back, Zhenla and Tubo and other countries have just opened trade. After this war, no matter if we win or not, the ones who will suffer losses will always be us! Don't you think so? Do you want to wait until the war is over and start again? At that time, do you think we have the capital to reopen the trade route? "
Li Shimin began to act pitiful.
For Li Shimin, this was really a good show. After all, an emperor, which morning court wasn't acting?
At this time, when Li Shimin was telling the current state of the country and the situation, Zhang Feng couldn't help but begin to sympathize with Li Shimin.
"Ai! Lao Li, it's not that I don't want to help you. What's the relationship between us? I can't just watch you suffer, right? But as for this matter, you have seen the current state of the Academy. Don't worry. Wait for a month. After a month, won't they have refined steel weapons and steel shields? Let's not talk about this. "
"Even if you want me to give you a crossbow with a maximum shooting range of 1,000 steps or an impenetrable armor, I will give you those. But I don't have the time to do that for the time being!"
"A thousand steps?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but stare at Zhang Feng with wide eyes.
Seeing that Zhang Feng wasn't joking, he hurriedly asked, "Are you serious? As far as I know, the most popular crossbow bolts only have a maximum shooting range of 150 paces, and that's the Zhuge Qiang Crossbow. You … "
"Isn't it just a powerful crossbow at a thousand paces? If you wait for a month, I will only need three days to produce a hundred of them for you. That's every day! Is this enough? "
"If you give me a little more time, half a year, no, just three months, the Red Barbarian Cannon and Lao Tzu will be ready for you!"
"Red Barbarian Cannon?"
Li Shimin's eyes bulged, and his breathing quickened. "What is that?"
Zhang Feng decided to be frank. After all, the bigger the pie, the easier it would be for this guy to keep his thoughts to himself. Otherwise, if this guy came today and asked for a sword, spear, and shield, the next day, he would beat around the bush and ask for it.
It was so annoying.
He told them all at once what he wanted to do. Not only would it broaden their horizons, but it would also shut them up completely and give him some time.
Otherwise, their thoughts would be stuck in the era of cold weapons.
At this moment, Li Shimin was really led astray by Zhang Feng. His mind was filled with question marks about the Red Barbarian Cannon. He couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Tell me, what is this Red Barbarian Cannon? Is it more powerful than the crossbow you mentioned? "
"Of course. You should have heard of catapults, right? Catapults and Zhuge Divine Crossbows are a combination of these two things. Not only can catapults throw rocks, but they can also throw fireballs and so on. However, the range of the catapults isn't very far, and they are also very complicated. However, this Red Barbarian Cannon is different. Its range isn't as powerful as the crossbow I mentioned, but it is a great weapon when attacking cities and seizing territories. Once the elixir is thrown out, it will instantly explode, and the thing produced by the explosion can cause a lot of damage to people or objects within a two-zhang radius. "
Zhang Feng explained the Red Barbarian Cannon with spittle flying everywhere.
As expected, Li Shimin couldn't help but shudder at this moment. He was already so shocked by this magical thing that his heart was in turmoil.
At this moment, Zhang Feng's words made Li Shimin completely lose his composure.
"Lao Li, do you still remember the metal ship I mentioned before? Once the metal ship is built, you can put dozens of Red Barbarian Cannons on it. Think about it, what can your ship do? Even if it's a wall, you can blast it to smithereens from afar, not to mention the impact of the ship. "
Li Shimin's voice was trembling.
Although the five-toothed warship was powerful, it couldn't withstand strong winds and waves. Moreover, the purpose of a ship was to transport things, and it also played an important role in war. However, a real battle on the water was basically a collision between two ships. Regardless of whether the ship won or lost, the damage to the ship would be huge.
However, what about this Red Barbarian Cannon?
Once it was installed, then …
However, Li Shimin also understood at this moment. He calmed down and asked again, "Feng Zi, just tell me directly. What other treasures do you have?"
"Can you let me take a look?"
