The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Liang Chongyue sat down in the seat he usually sat in. His scumbag father was reviewing memorials with a frown on his face, as if he saw something he was not satisfied with.

Liang Chongyue glanced at the pile of memorials on the dragon's desk and thought that his scumbag father would not be available in the short term.

It was boring to sit there alone, so Liang Chongyue stood up and found a book to read to pass the time.

She had read all the books in the Yangxin Palace before she was ten years old, leaving no one behind, whether she liked them or not.

When I pick it up again now, I can still think of its contents and the fun I had at that time.

Liang Chongyue was looking up when his eyes suddenly darkened and half of the light was blocked.

When she looked up, she saw her scumbag father standing in front of her. He must have finished his work.

"Father, now that you're done, can we have dinner?"

At the family dinner, Liang Chongyue went out with her third sister after eating only a few bites. Now they were hungry.

"Let's go. After dinner, tell me about the New Year gift you gave me."

Liang Chongyue put the book he had just read back to its original place and glanced at the box in the corner that had been opened.

"That is a treasure. I spent a long time researching it."

Liang Zhan was walking in front of Chongyue, and his eyes lit up when he heard the words. The last time Chongyue mentioned the treasure was when he developed the bow and crossbow. It had only been a short time, and there was already something new.

"Okay, then after dinner, show me a good demonstration. If it's really a treasure, I'll reward you."

"Thank you, Father, for the reward."

Liang Chongyue no longer cared about what reward her scumbag father could give her. She had already reached the highest position among all the princesses in history, and she had obtained the most among all of her scumbag father's descendants.

Going further up, there is not much that the scumbag father can give her openly. At least he can't give her what she wants.

After finishing the dinner with her scumbag father, Qi Deyuan left two pots of tea and left. She and her scumbag father were the only ones left in the entire Yangxin Palace.

When Liang Chongyue accompanied her scumbag father back to the inner hall, the big wooden box had been lifted to the middle position. Liang Chongyue opened the wooden box and was about to take out the things inside when a pair of big hands reached out to the crossbow in the wooden box before her.

The bed crossbow was taken out of the wooden box by the scumbag father, and Liang Chongyue had no chance to lend a hand.

Liang Chongyue waited until his father put the bed crossbow on the ground before he began to assemble the remaining parts.

“Is this not finished yet?”

Liang Zhan reached out and pressed on his lower back. He hadn't lifted anything heavy in a long time and almost twisted his waist.

This wooden thing doesn't look big, but it is quite heavy.

"It's done, but these two things won't fit into the wooden box once they're installed. I can only dismantle them and put them back together again when we get to the Yangxin Palace."

After Liang Chongyue completely assembled the bed crossbow, he looked around the Yangxin Palace, but couldn't find a suitable place to demonstrate it to his scumbag father, so he simply explained it to his scumbag father first.

"Father, this thing is called a bed crossbow. It has wheels on the bed, which greatly reduces manpower when traveling. The crossbow uses a winch as the string. I have tested it and it is extremely powerful and has a long range... This thing can be made larger, and naturally more powerful. It is perfect for sieges."

The northern border is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Liang Chongyue has seen pictures and videos. Even if the northern border has less than half of the troops of Daxia, it is not an easy task to capture the Arctic Imperial City within one or two years.

Liang Zhan was very interested in the bed crossbow that Chongyue mentioned. After listening to Chongyue's introduction, he could already imagine how powerful it was.

"Point at that vase and demonstrate it to me."

Liang Chongyue looked in the direction of his father's finger and saw an exquisitely crafted jade huchun vase. It had been in the Yangxin Palace for several years and its color had become more vivid after maintenance.

Liang Chongyue adjusted the direction of the crossbow, aimed at the vase, and loaded a thin arrow into the arrow slot. The moment the trigger was pulled, the thin arrow flew out and headed straight for the jade vase that his father had just pointed at.

The next second, the jade vase shattered into pieces, and the cabinet where the jade vase was placed was also pierced and cracked by the thin arrow. Even though it had passed through the vase and the wooden frame, the thin arrow only deviated slightly and finally penetrated straight into the wall.

After the thin arrow stopped, the scumbag dad stepped forward to check. When he saw cracks on the wall, Liang Chongyue saw surprise and appreciation in the scumbag dad's eyes.

"What a treasure! With this crossbow, we can conquer any city wall."

Liang Chongyue expected the bed crossbow to be several times larger than this one. The weapon was quite powerful, but it would take time to transport it with the army, assemble it on site, and for the soldiers to train in aiming on the battlefield.

"Please ask your Majesty to set a date for the expedition. The construction of the crossbows and the training of the soldiers will take time."

Liang Zhan's eyes swept back and forth between Chongyue and the bed crossbow. The weapon was an exquisite weapon. He also knew that Chongyue had locked himself in Changshengtian for nearly ten days without coming out, probably to study this thing.

"How long do you think it will take to make this?"

Liang Chongyue already had a preliminary estimate of the time cost in his mind, but the size of the weapons and the problems that might be encountered would vary to some extent.

For large weapons like crossbows, every time they are doubled in size, the blueprints must be resized and the size of the winch must also be changed accordingly.

She could only buy a set of sizes with data from the system mall, but if she made it according to the sizes on it, the whole thing would be too large and the shipping cost would be very high. She also had to consider the size selection.

"This is just a preliminary result. To build something large enough for use on the battlefield, I estimate it will take at least twenty days."

Liang Chongyue set a relatively broad time. Once the date of the expedition was set, it could not be changed. She wanted to give herself more time to study the crossbow.

"Well, I'll give you a month and then the hunting grounds outside the capital. After a month, I want to see at least fifty large crossbows and soldiers trained to operate them."

"In a month, I will order Xiang Huayan to leave a team behind to bolster the border, while the rest of the soldiers will depart for the Northern Expedition.

I'm already mobilizing the army. For this Northern Expedition, in addition to the soldiers who will stay in the various states, I can give you 800,000 soldiers to go with you. If you can't win, you don't have to come back. You can die in the deserted capital to atone for your sins."

The scumbag father spoke in a stern tone. Liang Chongyue had never seen such a scumbag father before. He stood in front of the huge desk in the Yangxin Palace with his hands behind his back. His figure was as straight as a pine tree, and he was wearing a bright yellow dragon-embroidered robe that shone with a majestic luster in the candlelight.

As the candlelight swayed slightly, the light and shadow moved slightly on the scumbag father's face, covering part of his expression and adding to the sense of oppression.

An invisible pressure came down on Liang Chongyue like a mountain, making her feel short of breath for the first time in front of her scumbag father.

Liang Chongyue stood up straight, saluted towards his scumbag father, and said loudly:

"I will certainly live up to my father's expectations and conquer the northern border in one fell swoop, expanding the territory of Great Xia."
