Chapter 134: When you have nothing to do, you should dream more

Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I was thinking about how amazing you are."

"Not as good as you."

Zhao Shen didn't think it was anything great that he could calculate those things.

Ji Yunshu has already explained his thoughts, and it would be stupid if he still doesn't understand.

Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes and asked him, "What do you like to do most?"

She suddenly remembered that this person seemed to know everything, and could do his best in both studying and martial arts, but she still didn't know what his real interests were?

If he pursues his interests to the fullest, is it possible that he will discover something groundbreaking?

Zhao Shen saw through her thoughts at a glance, tapped her head and said, "Madam, I will help you find the person you want. Don't always think about exploiting me."

Ji Yunshu touched his forehead and saw Meng Tianshu across from him still lost in thought. He curled his lips and said, "Isn't this because I think he's not as good as you?"

Zhao Shen said, "Everyone has their own expertise. I can't make the crossbow he drew. It's more reliable to ask him for your ideas, Madam."

Meng Tianshu suddenly came back to his senses. After hearing this, he asked Ji Yunshu with great interest: "What do you think, Madam? You can tell me now. Anyway, you have nothing to do along the way."

Ji Yunshu smiled brightly and said, "The journey back to the capital is fraught with danger. Master Meng, why don't you make a few of your crossbows first? Let's save our lives before we discuss other matters."

Meng Tianshu shrank his neck. "It's not that I don't want to do it. When I was drawing the diagram, I just had a sudden idea in my mind. I thought I could use some techniques to make the crossbow more energy-saving and accurate, and preferably even fire continuously. But I've tried it over the years, and it's very difficult. Even the most sophisticated hidden weapons I've seen can't do it."

When he said this, he was prepared for the other party to be disappointed or even feel cheated by him.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "You are very creative. If you can think of it, you can definitely do it. Don't worry, we have time and we can study it slowly."

Zhao Shen glanced at Ji Yunshu and said nothing.

The feeling she had when she asked Yichen to make explosives came back again. She seemed very sure that the crossbow that Meng Tianshu drew could be made.

Why?

Meng Tianshu: "...Thank you for not calling me a fool."

Ji Yunshu encouraged him: "When you have nothing to do, you should dream more. What if it comes true?"

For someone like Meng Tianshu, as long as he dares to think and act, who can say that his dream will never come true?

Ji Yunshu didn't know whether his idea of ​​a crossbow could be used to make a crossbow, but he thought it would probably work to make a pistol.

Unfortunately, there are too many technical constraints.

The most basic gunpowder formula has not yet been stabilized.

Alas, there is still a long way to go.

Her words sounded like sarcasm to Meng Tianshu.

However, because Meng Tianshu had different ideas, he had been questioned and despised by countless people since he was a child, so he did not take it to heart.

Zhao Shen, however, reminded her, "She's serious. Think about it carefully. If a crossbow can't be made, it might be because of the wrong materials or an unreasonable structure. Don't doubt your own ideas easily."

Meng Tianshu heard his serious tone, then looked at Ji Yunshu's face full of approval. He opened his mouth but couldn't help but asked, "Are you serious?"

Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Of course, people always need ideas to realize them. If we don't even dare to think, will we always stay where we are? Look at how different our current lives are from the people recorded in ancient books. Isn't this all just imagination?"

Meng Tianshu finally realized that the person in front of him was not joking.

He was dazed for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and said cautiously, "You're not looking for me for the crossbow, what do you want me to do?"

Ji Yunshu said, "It wasn't at first, but I would be very happy if you could make a bow and crossbow."

Her father and brother are both on the front line. If Meng Tianshu's crossbow can be made, it will be very useful.

Meng Tianshu had a bad feeling: "So what was the original purpose?"

Ji Yunshu did not hide it: "Build a ship and go to sea."

Meng Tianshu almost blurted out: "What do you Ji family want to do?"

Everyone knows how profitable maritime trade is. What does the Ji family need the money for?

Could it be that he has jumped out of the dragon's den and into the tiger's den?

Ji Yunshu said angrily, "What are you imagining? Besides earning money from foreigners, there are many other uses for going out to sea. For example, if we have a strong navy, would the Japanese pirates along the coast still dare to come? Would the people along the coast still be harassed?"

Meng Tianshu's expression changed several times, and he finally asked, "Does the emperor know about this?"

Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes: "Don't worry, I will tell him that this matter will be handled by the court."

The Ji family is already feared enough, so she certainly won't do anything taboo again.

Besides, what is she trying to gain by going through so much trouble?

She even planned to report the gunpowder made by Yichen to the emperor when she returned. It would be better if the court could take over the subsequent research, and she could save some money.

After six months of contact, she also realized that the emperor was not unreasonable and was willing to listen to advice.

Although he was a little afraid of the Ji family due to the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, he ultimately did nothing.

Even though the people in the book succeeded in sowing discord and the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor deteriorated, he did not touch the Ji family.

Moreover, the author made Prince Yong's rebellion successful, but did not write the emperor as a tyrant. He was just unlucky and encountered natural disasters and man-made calamities during his reign. In the end, he was poisoned and died of weakness.

It is not impossible to support such an emperor.

Even he himself had the idea of ​​working hard to govern the country.

Meng Tianshu was completely relieved: "With this sentence, I can do anything you ask me to do."

Ji Yunshu said unhappily, "Our Ji family has been loyal for generations, and my husband is the emperor's confidant. Am I just bored and thinking about all that nonsense?"

Meng Tianshu was a little embarrassed for once: "Isn't your idea too scary?"

"What's so scary about this? I just hope that Daxia will become stronger, the people will live a better life, and the emperor's position will be more stable, so that those traitors won't have any chance to take advantage of it."

As long as the King of Yong cannot succeed, Zhao Heng will never be able to climb over her head.

Meng Tianshu was very excited when he heard this. He had been scolded by his family for not doing his job properly since he was a child. When he drew the bow and crossbow, he was trying to impress people.

Unfortunately, the product was not made and it almost brought trouble to the family.

Now it seems that his interests and research over the years can also serve the country.

Zhao Shen had long seen through Ji Yunshu's actions and was still somewhat shocked when he heard her speak so frankly.

The interior of the car suddenly became quiet, and the carriage outside drove into a valley.

Zhao Shen glanced through the gap in the curtain and reminded the two: "We have arrived at Fenglai Valley."

They had studied the route before they left, and Fenglai Valley was the first place suitable for an ambush after leaving Suzhou.

Meng Tianshu also took a look and said, "They won't act so quickly, right?"

This is too obvious.
