The craftsman's workshop in the north of Xiangyang City is a workshop led by Yi Xiaotian and composed of craftsmen from the Huang Mansion.
The total number of people is about one hundred and seventy.
Nearly seventy of them are a group of craftsmen who have become extremely famous in Xiangyang City over the years. Not only are they highly skilled, but each of them is a strong rising star.
Establishing the craftsman's workshop was the first thing Yi Xiaotian did after learning that Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi. It was so popular that the entire Xiangyang City knew that the craftsman's workshop in the north of the city was now comparable to the imperial court's real general workshop.
Square.
Cao Cao carried the horse for Yi Xiaotian, and the four of them quickly headed toward the general workshop. As soon as they arrived, Yi Xiaotian shouted towards the courtyard of the general workshop before he got off his horse:
"Everyone, the 'big guy' you've been waiting for is here! Get ready to start work!"
Under the gaze of Cao Cao, Jia Xu and others, Yi Xiaotian quickly dismounted his horse, carried the strange crossbow, took out an extremely detailed design drawing from his arms, and walked straight into the craftsman's workshop.
As for the craftsman's workshop - bluestone bricks, red and gray tiles, a very ordinary-looking compound, after Yi Xiaotian's voice appeared, a howling sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami quickly erupted -
"Oh oh oh oh! It's finally here!"
"My sledgehammer is horny!"
After all, they were a group of hot-blooded men. Yi Xiaotian rushed into the courtyard and handed the drawing directly to the old man who came forward.
The old man, who looked quite old and had wrinkles on his skin due to old age, after taking the drawing, his eyes were shining, his mouth was grinning, he nodded with praise, and said to Yi Xiaotian:
"Wonderful, wonderful! Such an exquisite repeating crossbow can actually be designed..."
Yi Xiaotian curled his lips and smiled, patted the shirtless old man on the shoulder, raised his eyebrows at him, and pointed his hand to attract everyone's attention to the finished product.
At this moment, Cao Cao, Cao Ren and Jia Xu stepped forward and heard Yi Xiaotian say to everyone:
"Mr. Qin, everyone in the craftsman's workshop, and Master Kuo..."
Yi Xiaotian suddenly showed a rather confident smile, without any nonsense, picked up the repeating crossbow, and aimed at the prepared straw man on the side of the courtyard wall.
"You guys should take a good look!"
Click——
The crisp sound of the collision of wooden mechanisms resounded in the courtyard, followed by the unimaginable continuous sound of breaking wind.
Cao Cao and Cao Ren were both stunned, watching the repeating crossbow in Yi Xiaotian's hand pointing at the straw man in front of the wall, wildly pouring out crossbow arrows.
Da da da da——
Grass clippings were flying in the courtyard, and the withered yellow straw was flying up and down for half a stick of incense. Everyone in the courtyard was breathing the same as the straw scattered everywhere... as if they were carried away by the terrifying power of this serial crossbow.
The strong wind blew them down, and even after a long time, they could not recover.
Yi Xiaotian rubbed his sore shoulder and handed the repeating crossbow directly to the foreman of the craftsman's workshop, Mr. Qin.
"You can take it apart and look at it... In order to reduce costs and increase the speed of your production, your lady has spent a lot of effort..."
Yi Xiaotian smiled, but Cao Cao was dull. He looked at Cao Ren beside him, and saw the same shock in Cao Ren's eyes.
"Master... I have led troops in battles for so many years... I have never seen anything like this..."
"What are you waiting for? I didn't lie to you about the big killer weapon, did I?"
Hearing Master Ren's exclamation tone, Yi Xiaotian smiled and stepped forward to greet him.
"Yes, yes! It really is a great killer! An unprecedented...unprecedented great killer! Brother Yi! We can be saved! Xiangyang can be saved!"
Cao Cao suddenly screamed strangely. If gravity hadn't been holding him tightly, I'm afraid Cao Cao would have gotten more excited and could take off with just one kick of his legs.
But even if he didn't take off, Cao Cao jumped up excitedly. The short and sturdy man, who weighed 100 pounds, was jumping and shouting in the courtyard regardless of his face. Everyone could see how much pressure Cao Cao had experienced before, so that Jia
Xu looked at it with a sore nose.
"Brother Yi... I have been under too much pressure these past few days. Fortunately..."
Jia Xu pursed her lips, looked at Yi Xiaotian with a complicated look, and put her hands on Yi Xiaotian's shoulders:
"Luckily you're here…"
——
Anyway, after an unknown amount of time, Cao Cao stood aside with a silly smile, holding the straw man who had almost been shot into a sieve.
Fortunately it has calmed down.
"Yi...Brother Yi, I wonder how much this killing weapon costs? How many can be made in just a few days?"
Cao Cao forced himself to suppress his restless heart, and finally asked the question he was most concerned about.
After all, according to his impression, if you want to mass-produce such a terrifyingly powerful and complex ingenuity, it would probably be even harder than reaching the sky.
Even if...even if there were hundreds of skilled craftsmen here, Cao Cao still didn't dare to entrust him.
Seeing Master Mu's cautious look, Yi Xiaotian couldn't help laughing. He stretched out a finger to the three of them and kept silent, as if waiting for the three of them to guess.
Cao Ren quickly spoke:
"Could it...could it be one piece of gold? Such a terrifying weapon, one piece of gold...although it is a bit more expensive..."
Cao Ren and Cao Cao looked at each other and saw confirmation in each other's eyes.
Even the Thunderbolt Chariot in their formation was only slightly more expensive than the cost of ten thousand gold, but... thinking of the portability and maneuverability of this serial crossbow, Cao Cao felt it was worth it, and Cao Ren felt it was worth it too...
"Isn't it just money?"
Cao Cao gritted his teeth, unable to hide the excitement in his eyes, and said firmly to Yi Xiaotian:
"I have plenty of money to tell you, brother Yi. Tell the craftsmen in the workshop... the faster they can make it, the better... I will buy as much as you want to make, and I will ask the court for instructions afterwards, and I will definitely reward them again!"
However, Yi Xiaotian just smiled and shook his head.
A finger dangled in front of everyone's eyes, and Jia Xu narrowed his eyes... He thought he knew Yi Xiaotian very well. If it was really so expensive, Yi Xiaotian would never smile so confidently.
"Could it be consistent?"
"consistent?"
"consistent!"
Jia Xu spoke, and Cao Cao and Cao Ren exclaimed in unison -
The cost was reduced to 10% from the usual thousand yuan, which obviously made Cao Cao and Cao Ren salivate.
Yi Xiaotian looked at the cautious looks of several people, but what flashed in his mind was Huang Yueying's bleak smiling face after being busy day and night——
"It's one hundred dollars...Mr. Qin!"
Yi Xiaotian calmly stated the cost of one hundred dollars, and then his eyes suddenly became sharp. He shouted to the craftsmen in the courtyard who were waiting for orders:
"Can you make it in two days...a thousand pieces...?"
Cao Cao and Cao Ren's jaws dropped in shock. Just looking at Yi Xiaotian's serious look, their brains seemed to have stopped thinking.
I saw Mr. Qin put down the drawings and curved his mouth in a confident arc. He patted his chest, turned around and shouted to the young craftsmen with glaring eyes behind him:
"The owner asked us if we could make a thousand...but we were underestimated!"
"Being underestimated! Being underestimated!"
Everyone rushed out of the craftsman's workshop with passionate roars, which also washed away Jia Xu's mind.
"Fifteen hundred...good guys! Work has started!"
Following Mr. Qin's last roar, all the craftsmen raised their tools and howled at the top of their lungs.
