Upon hearing Lu Chen’s reply, Qin Yushan couldn’t help but think that it indeed sounded like a big killer weapon similar to artillery.
Just imagining the shrapnel from artillery exploding, instantly blasting a Grandmaster into several large pieces, sent a chill down Qin Yushan’s spine.
Once such weapons were mass-produced, from then on, Grandmasters might not be much different from ordinary people, since even ordinary people using artillery could kill a Grandmaster.
As a Grandmaster in the Martial Arts World, Qin Yushan was unwilling to see such weapons being mass-produced, as it would shake the very foundation of the Martial Arts World and the status of Grandmasters.
However, as a subordinate of the Son of Destiny, he of course wanted to see the North Prince wielding these big killers to slaughter enemies far and wide, and then unify the entire continent.
At this point, Qin Yushan said, “Please rest assured, my prince. I will dedicate all my efforts to supervising the production of the weapons you ntioned and will absolutely prevent the manufacturing thods from being leaked to anyone.”
Qin Yushan was well aware of the importance of such a weapon, after all, it was capable of killing a Grandmaster in an instant. The thod for making this kind of big killing weapon absolutely couldn’t be known by any power, otherwise, it would be a disaster for North City and the North Prince.
But at this mont, Qin Yushan suddenly thought of sothing and then asked, “My prince, the Brocade Guard doesn’t have the craftsn capable of manufacturing the weapon you ntioned. May I know from where these craftsn should be summoned?”
Lu Chen said, “Don’t worry about that for now, the craftsn will be available soon.”
No sooner had Lu Chen finished speaking than the voice of a maidservant ca from outside, “Your Highness, General Wenren and General Xuanyuan have arrived.”
“Let them in.”
The next mont, Xuanyuan Chen and Wenren Lie entered the study. Both n paid their respects simultaneously, saying in unison, “Greetings, Your Highness.”
Lu Chen gave a slight nod, “Rise.”
Xuanyuan Chen asked, “Your Highness, may I know the reason for summoning us?”
Lu Chen said, “Great Yu City can forge fifty thousand Heavy Cavalry. I believe Great Yu City must have a lot of craftsn, right?”
Hearing this, Qin Yushan at his side was montarily taken aback, imdiately understanding the aning of Lu Chen’s earlier statent that craftsn would be available soon.
At that ti, Xuanyuan Chen replied, “Replying to Your Highness, one can say that everyone in Great Yu City is a craftsman. Once children reach a certain age, they need to learn a craft, even girls are no exception.”
Hearing Xuanyuan Chen’s words, Lu Chen was sowhat surprised; the people of Great Yu City’s thinking was quite advanced indeed, demanding that everyone learn a craft, making him feel as though the Great Yu Remnants were all from the Mohist school.
Lu Chen then said, “It’s like this. I plan to summon so of Great Yu City’s craftsn to North City to manufacture so weapons for . I know the people of Great Yu City are reluctant to leave, but making these weapons, I must have trustworthy craftsn.”
“The only craftsn I can trust are in Great Yu City. Next, I’ll trouble the two generals to write a letter to Great Yu City and dispatch one thousand craftsn skilled in tal slting to Yan County.”
The five hundred thousand commoners of Great Yu City were also granted by the system and were absolutely loyal to Lu Chen, so for the manufacture of the artillery, he certainly would choose them over the craftsn of North City.
Besides, North City did not have many craftsn who could assist Lu Chen in making the artillery.
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Xuanyuan Chen imdiately said, “I will write to Great Yu City presently. Please rest assured, Your Highness, within one month, Great Yu City will send craftsn to Yan County.”
Lu Chen then said to Qin Yushan, Wenren Lie, and Xuanyuan Chen, “The task of making the artillery is entrusted to you three. You must rember, the manufacturing of such a weapon must not be known by anyone outside of those involved, not even the Mu family mbers.”
Qin Yushan and the others imdiately said, “Please be assured, Your Highness, we will keep silent on the matter.”
At that point, Lu Chen took out the gunpowder formula from the system space and placed it on the desk, “Commander Qin, before the craftsn from Great Yu City arrive, you can have the Brocade Guard collect the materials listed on this paper. Rember one thing, you must absolutely prevent anyone from knowing that it’s you collecting these items.”
Qin Yushan picked up the formula for making gunpowder that Lu Chen had given him and said, “Understood, Your Highness. I will act cautiously and ensure that no other powers detect that it is the Prince’s Mansion collecting these items.”
Qin Yushan clearly understood what the contents of the paper he held signified; it was the materials for making artillery shells, and if others learned that the Prince’s Mansion was collecting these items, even if they didn’t know the formula for gunpowder, there might still be soone who could deduce the formula based on the materials being collected extensively by the Prince’s Mansion.
In short, the manufacturing of the artillery needed to be extrely cautious.
“Well then, you three may depart to make the preparations.”
As Lu Chen’s words fell, Qin Yushan and the others said in unison:
“We take our leave, Your Highness!”
Following this, the three of them left Lu Chen’s study.
anwhile.
Spring Sound Court.
This courtyard originally had no na, but every ti the maidservants and servants from the Prince’s Mansion passed by outside this courtyard, they would hear a certain kind of sound, and gradually, soone nad it the Spring Sound Court, and thus it was called by everyone.
After Xiao Wenyao woke up, she was dressed by her maidservants, freshened up, and enjoyed a hearty breakfast.
