Princess Mingxin turned around gracefully, and Liu Qiaoer was right behind her, bowing gracefully towards Zhao Yangxu.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Third Prince."
Zhao Yangxu touched his chin, a suspicious look on his face: "I know you, you are the miracle doctor beside the Ninth Prince. I heard that it was you who cured the Ninth Prince's old illness, and I heard that you also cured the Sixth Prince's illness."
Liu Qiaoer smiled slightly: "Healing and saving lives is just my hobby. What I am best at is actually various weapons."
Zhao Yangxu couldn't quite believe it. After all, Liu Qiaoer was almost as young as Princess Mingxin. How could she make weapons
But then I thought, she is a miracle doctor, so there is nothing wrong with her knowing a little about weapons.
"Oh? That's the best. Look, I found these things from the Tang family. I don't know how to use some of them. Some of the mechanisms can't be opened."
Liu Qiaoer walked to his desk, picked up a Luban lock and opened it in two or three moves. It was empty inside, but it was still usable for storing things.
This kind of Lu Ban lock is similar to Lu Yunzheng's, both of which are used to store letters, convey messages, etc., and their Tang Sect will use this kind of thing.
However, apart from the people of Tang Sect, few people can open it. This thing requires skills, and the skills of Tang Sect are never passed on to outsiders.
Zhao Yangxu was surprised. He didn't expect that the things he had been working on for several days could be opened by Liu Qiaoer in just a few moves. It seemed that this little girl did have some stuff.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Qiaoer came to a small model, which was a siege weapon catapult and a crossbow made by the Tang Sect for the Great Zhou.
These two are siege weapons. They seem very bulky to Liu Qiaoer, but they are already very advanced at that time.
The cities in ancient times were built wide and high, and it would be difficult to win without these siege weapons.
While watching, Liu Qiaoer gave Zhao Yangxu a detailed introduction to the pros and cons of each weapon.
There were seven or eight weapons on the table, and she knew them all.
Zhao Yangxu admired them, but he also had his own doubts: "You said so much, but you didn't produce any weapon stronger than them. Not to mention me, even the Tang Sect would definitely not accept it."
Princess Mingxin was also worried about Liu Qiaoer, so she came to her ear and whispered, "If we talk about siege weapons, it must be cannons, but the earliest cannons were Hongwu cannons, can you make them?"
Liu Qiaoer raised her eyebrows proudly: "Of course, not only can we make it, we also have the formula and proportion of the shells. However, if we give them such a powerful weapon all at once, it will easily make them greedy in the future."
Princess Mingxin nodded, thinking that what Liu Qiaoer said made sense.
Liu Qiaoer took out a grenade that she had used last time from her sleeve pocket, found a model of a catapult, and took it to the open space outside the yard.
"Be careful, it's best to clear out the people."
Zhao Yangxu waved his hand: "Make way for five meters... no, ten meters."
When he said five meters, he glanced at Liu Qiaoer, who shook her head, so he casually changed it to ten meters.
Liu Qiaoer simply placed the bomb on the catapult and threw it with a loud 'boom'. A half-meter-wide pit was blown out on the flat ground, and all the grass and trees within a ten-meter radius were destroyed. The wood and stones were shattered and the ground was razed to the ground.
Zhao Yangxu was shocked: "What is this? It looks like the Tang Sect's cigarette cartridge, but it seems to be more powerful than theirs."
The Tang Clan's cigarette bombs are filled with poison. Once thrown out, the power of the poison can kill a person instantly.
However, it takes time for the poison to evaporate. The shell broke, smoke slowly dissipated, and those with high martial arts skills and good lightness skills all ran away.
Ordinary people who stay behind will be poisoned to death because they cannot retreat in time.
However, Liu Qiaoer's thunder bomb left people with no time to react.
Even a person with great kung fu skills can get hurt.
Zhao Yangxu was so shocked that he stuttered: "What, what is this?"
Liu Qiaoer took out another one and handed it to Zhao Yangxu, but he didn't even dare to take it.
Liu Qiaoer explained in detail that what was filled inside was not poison but sulfur of the type used in fireworks. It was just a matter of proportion. After the bomb exploded, the fireworks could burn people and the poison could kill people.
For safety reasons, Liu Qiaoer made a small one and did not put any poison in it.
"Your Highness, if this is scaled up, put on a catapult, and then loaded with poison, and sent to the front line for attack and defense..."
Conquering cities is much more powerful than stones.
Zhao Yangxu's face was full of surprise: "Yes, if the stone is replaced with this... But, is it dangerous to transport? Will it explode when the temperature is high? Is it expensive to make one?"
There are stones everywhere, and this kind of shells costs money.
"It's expensive. The outer packaging is made of iron sheets, and the sulfur and saltpeter inside need to be found. However, places that make firecrackers will definitely have it."
It doesn't look difficult. Zhao Yangxu was eager to make a contribution. "Okay, Miss Liu, let's do this. Make one or two first and see how much silver it takes. I'll pay for it for you first. When you're done, I'll personally present it to my father."
No matter how high the cost is, as long as it is powerful enough, money is not a problem. This world belongs to their Zhao family, not to mention the wealth.
Zhao Yangxu immediately gave Liu Qiaoer a silver note worth 10,000 taels.
Liu Qiaoer took the silver bills and Princess Mingxin and went straight to the Jingzhao government office. The Tang family had a large mansion in the capital and seven or eight shops, including a shop in a side courtyard, and four of them belonged to them.
At the end is an inn where candidates who come to Beijing to take the imperial examinations stay.
In ancient times, confiscated property could not be bought or sold without the consent of the government.
No matter how rich you are, you have to find someone in charge. Since the affairs of the Tang Clan involve Princess Mingxin, officials below the second rank have no right to interfere.
The people in Jingzhao Prefecture thought that these shops would be under their control for a long time, but when they saw Princess Mingxin coming with the third prince's token, they immediately understood.
The procedures were handled very quickly and the handover was completed in almost one morning.
The house was named after Liu Qiaoer, and the shops also belonged to Princess Mingxin. She gave three rooms to Liu Qiaoer to use as a rouge shop.
One of the rooms was used to sell fruit syrup from Yuzhou City, and a bookstore was also set up. The bookstore was previously owned by the Tang family, and Princess Mingxin took it over.
Because Liu Qiaoer asked Princess Mingxin to write down the stories she knew and make them into a storybook, which also sold very well.
There is only one room left, and it is empty.
Princess Mingxin asked what Liu Qiaoer was going to do in this room
Liu Qiaoer asked her to find seven or eight of the best craftsmen in the capital. She wanted to make Luban locks and educational toys. Since they had offended the Tang Sect, what the Tang Sect cared about most was their skills.
However, these skills are public in modern times. Liu Qiaoer sells these skills in the form of toys. She wants to see what other hidden abilities the Tang Sect has.
The rouge shop was opened, the bookstore was opened, and the sugar water from Yuzhou City was also shipped here. Liu Qiaoer and Princess Mingxin's business was booming.
The next day was the time to announce the results. Whoever passed the exam would be paraded through the streets on horseback, able to tour the entire capital in one day. The days of triumph and success had arrived.
