The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

The shooter battalion under Huang Zhong can do this.

The repeating crossbow he wanted was able to cover a large area of ​​firepower, so that ordinary soldiers could use the repeating crossbow to shoot accurate and large enough arrows without years of practicing archery.

This kind of archery method cannot be achieved by salvo, only continuous shooting will do.

So after listening to Zhuge Liang's description, Liu Zheng quickly calmed down and continued to communicate with little Zhuge Liang.

"Xiao Liang, do you know that if you blindly increase the range and accuracy, the improvement of the crossbow is not particularly great. Can we use another method to increase the number of shots?"

Liu Zheng didn't directly talk about the concept of continuous shooting.

Instead, he turned a corner and described to Zhuge Liang to increase the number of shots.

Liu Zheng didn't know if Zhuge Liang could understand.

After all, if Zhuge Liang still can't understand it now, if he can't think of continuous shooting, then Liu Zheng doesn't want to point it out directly. After all, some things are too hasty, and it's not good to catalyze them. Anyway, Zhuge Liang in history will definitely invent the Zhuge Liannu. , he just needs to wait.

After hearing Liu Zheng's words, Zhuge Liang seemed to frowned.

He looked at Liu Zheng with a little doubt.

After a while, he opened his mouth to speak to Liu Zheng again.

"Your Majesty means to increase the number of crossbow arrows shot, do you mean to increase the number of salvos?"

"If the volley can increase the number of shots, it is acceptable. If not, Xiao Liang, you can think about whether you can increase the number of shots in another way."

Liu Zheng has already talked about this point, and he just told Zhuge Liang that the crossbow arrows can be fired in succession instead of salvo.

After Liu Zheng's words were finished, he really caught Zhuge Liang's attention.

He frowned, and then relieved, his face was overjoyed.

"I thought of it! Your Majesty, I thought of it!"

"What did you think of?"

Liu Zheng hurriedly asked.

"Thought how to improve this crossbow!"

Liu Zheng looked at little Zhuge Liang with increasingly excited eyes.

I don't know what Zhuge Liang was thinking of, but no matter what he thought of, Liu Zheng didn't want to continue asking.

He worried that if he asked too much, little Zhuge Liang would be a little suspicious.

Anyway, the time is still very long, Zhuge Liang is still young, even if he wants to study Zhuge Liannu, he is not in a hurry. Now lay a good foundation with little Zhuge Liang, and he will always research Zhuge Liannu in the future.

After seeing the excitement on little Zhuge Liang's face, Liu Zheng had no intention of continuing to chat with Zhuge Liang, and simply let Zhuge Liang take him home to study slowly.

Seeing that Liu Zheng promised to take away the crossbow arrows, little Zhuge Liang felt like he had found a treasure. He thanked Liu Zheng very happily, and then he couldn't wait to take this thing, left here, and went straight to his home, wanting to have a good time. Let's deconstruct the entire structure of the crossbow here.

Look at the kid so excited.

Liu Zheng is also looking forward to little Zhuge Liang's future achievements.

For historical figures like Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei.

Liu Zheng has always been admired very much.

This kind of admiration is not only the admiration of these two people in various film and television works of later generations.

It is because Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei in history are more respectable than Zhong.

Zhuge Liang in the book goes smoothly and always goes against the sky.

In the end, the destiny is hard to break and fell in Wuzhangyuan.

But in reality, Zhuge Liang in history has gone against the sky since he came out of the mountain.

It is more powerful than the others, and every step is the most stable step in a desperate situation.

It's a pity that Liu Bei gave him too few resources. Even a genius as strong as Zhuge Liang couldn't use this family background to fight against Cao Wei who occupied most of the world.

Today history is different.

Zhuge Liang also did not have those tempers in history.

But there are more classmates and teachers.

Liu Zheng was even more curious about what level Zhuge Liang's achievements would reach.

After all, even if a smart person changes his life trajectory, he is still smart, a dragon and a phoenix among people, no matter where it is placed, it will be a dragon and a phoenix among people.

It is gold that always shines, no matter where it is placed.

It doesn't need to be long, but Zhuge Liang will definitely become the most eye-catching new star under Liu Zheng's command if it takes five years or ten years.

After Zhuge Liang's incident, Liu Zheng suddenly realized that he hadn't continued to recruit those craftsmen for a long time.

Science and technology rejuvenate the country.

This item is a national policy formulated by Liu Zheng.

Taking advantage of the fact that there should be no bigger wars in the near future.

After thinking about it, Liu Zheng decided to recruit another group of skilled craftsmen from across the country.

If this group of people can be recruited, it might help Liu Zheng improve his technological level.

Although Liu Zheng doesn't expect to be able to rely on these people to enter the industrial revolution at once, it is also useful to invent more useful tools or increase the strength of combat weapons.

After all, fighting is the fastest way to improve technology.

After thinking about this, Liu Zheng told Guo Jia and others to make a plan to recruit talented and skilled craftsmen.

A mighty recruitment plan was launched and promoted nationwide.

within half a year.

Talented people with extraordinary skills from all over the world were recruited to join in Jianye City.

If he can be selected by Liu Zheng, he will be rewarded a lot.

For a while, the news spread and spread rapidly, from Yangzhou to Jiaozhou, Jingzhou, Qingzhou and other places.

Even this news has gradually penetrated through the spread to the territory that does not belong to Liu Zheng's command.

Those territories belonging to the big man, upon hearing this news, many people are also interested in it, and will come to Jianye City to participate in this recruitment activity.

After all, only Liu Zheng would admire these craftsmen so much. ?

The first thousand and 180 chapters and three new inventions

In ancient times, the status of craftsmen was very low.

It is a little higher than the status of a businessman.

Agricultural business.

Scholars are the ruling class, and their status is naturally high.

Farmers are farmers, and the status of farmers is relatively high.Because ancient food production mainly relied on farmers.

The production of food by farmers needs to ensure the survival of the whole population.Whether it is the people, the army, or even the aristocratic ruling class, their rations are all produced by farmers.

Therefore, the status of farmers has gradually improved, ranking second.

However, although the status of farmers is high, the population base of farmers is large.

Doesn't reflect his high status.

As for craftsmen and merchants, their status is extremely low.

The low status of merchants is due to the fact that merchants do not engage in production and have no real income, but only by buying and selling goods.

If you can make a lot of profits, it is speculative.Therefore, the status of businessmen is also very low, and they are looked down upon by the ruling class.

As for craftsmen.

Their low status is mainly due to the fact that the main task of artisans is to forge weapons.

In ancient times, people who had weapons were prone to rebellion.

In the Qin Shihuang era, in order to prevent peasants from rebelling, all their weapons were confiscated.

The weapons are gone, in order to prevent the artisans from continuing to make weapons.And began to gradually suppress the status of craftsmen.

This will help the rulers consolidate their dominance.

This tradition has been carried on for four to five hundred years.

Except for the imperial court having its own special craftsmen to make weapons, it is difficult for folk craftsmen to inherit.

Therefore, the status of craftsmen is not high in this era.

Of course, this status is not high, and it is limited to the territory of the Han Empire. In Liu Zheng's territory, the status of craftsmen is still very high.

One reason is that since Liu Zheng established the empire, he has not had many craftsmen under his command, and he urgently needs to recruit a group of craftsmen to make weapons for him.

In the absence of craftsmen, it is natural to improve the status of craftsmen.

The second reason is that Liu Zheng is different from people in this era. He is well aware of the principle of rejuvenating the country through science and technology, and he also treats craftsmen with a high level of treatment.

Not only did these craftsmen register official positions, but they were also rewarded generously.

This made those craftsmen follow Liu Zheng wholeheartedly.

It also allowed Liu Zheng to absorb a large number of craftsmen in a short period of time, which was able to meet the equipment needs of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command.

After the news spread, in just a few months, a large number of craftsmen were attracted in Jianye City.

However, Liu Zheng is set in a guild hall of Jianye, and hundreds of people come to sign up every day, bring their own technical works, or show their skills on the spot.

Among them, Liu Zheng really found a few good talents.

A man named Zuo Bo in Donglai, Qingzhou, further strengthened the papermaking technique improved by Liu Zheng, and made Zuo Bo paper. This kind of paper is easier to write than the paper made of bamboo by Liu Zheng before. Easier to save.

When this person came to find Liu Zheng's guild hall with the finished paper he made, it immediately caused a sensation.

If this technology is promoted, the development of papermaking has already reached a mature stage.

The replacement of bamboo slips is already a certainty.

Of course, there is Liu Zheng's name here, and the craftsmen who came to seek refuge, although there are capable people and strangers, but also, there are many people who come to join in the fun.

People who fish in troubled waters have no ability at all, and they just want to get away with it.

However, it's not easy for a craftsman to get away with it. Even if you take out something that you didn't research yourself, when you want to create a second one, it will still show its original shape.

So Liu Zheng is not worried about this kind of thing. Once such a person is found out, he will be deceiving the king. If the crime is serious, he can be beheaded directly.

After this kind of thing happened once or twice in the first two days, after being suppressed vigorously by the people in the recruiting hall, those who wanted to get away with it were much less.

Originally, there were not many people in the recruiting hall, which was sparsely populated, and there were not many people watching the excitement.

However, there are still quite a few craftsmen who really have some skills. Some are good at equipment, some like to make inventions, and some are good at blacksmithing and making iron tools.

Although these things are not what Liu Zheng lacks the most at present, being able to recruit such a group of people will benefit Liu Zheng a lot.

Facing these craftsmen, Liu Zheng naturally wanted as many as he had.

The craftsmen under him have designed new weapons, but there are not enough people to make them.

However, on this day, a young man came to the recruiting hall.

He brought something that shocked Gu Yong who was in charge of the guild hall.

Let Gu Yong hurry to find Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng was still working on new types of arrows with his blacksmiths.

Gu Yong brought people to visit Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, Assistant Minister Gu Yong asks to see you."

"Huh? What is he doing here?"

"Tell him to wait outside the door, I will come out in a while."

Liu Zheng put down the arrow in his hand, then tidied up his attire, and then went to see Gu Yong.

Gu Yong brought a few people to the workshop, and brought something, which was covered with a white cloth, and it looked mysterious, which made people a little curious.

As soon as Liu Zheng saw Gu Yong and the thing covered by the white cloth behind him, he immediately became interested.
