When he first heard it, Yun Zheng didn't realize that the other party was calling him.
It wasn't until I saw a flesh bomb jogging towards me that I realized what was going on.
Chapter Xu!
This guy probably didn't want to reveal his identity, so he called himself "Master Liu".
Zhang Xu trotted all the way and came to Yun Zheng panting.
Yun Zheng also quickly turned over and dismounted, jokingly saying, "You're already out of breath after just running for such a short while. You're even weaker than me!"
"My name is Zhang Xu, so of course I'm Xu!"
Zhang Xu chuckled and asked with a wink, "Are you here to see the flower boat parade?"
"Flower boat parade?"
Yun Zheng looked puzzled, "What flower boat parade?"
...
...
"You... don't know?" Zhang Xu was surprised, and then began to explain to Yun Zheng.
This flower boat parade has almost become a regular festival in the imperial city.
At this time of every month, all the major brothels in the imperial city would rent pleasure boats and have all their girls board them to cruise along the Anchang River, showing off their strength to the people on the shore and competing with each other for beauty.
After hearing Zhang Xu's words, Yun Zheng suddenly realized.
Isn’t this just advertising?
No wonder Anchang River is so lively today!
"So, you're here to see the flower boat parade, too?"
Yun Zheng asked with a smile.
"Of course not!"
Zhang Xu said seriously: "I'm here to do serious business!"
Business?
Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "You want to understand the people's feelings, right?"
Zhang Xu looked at Yun Zheng with resentment, "In your eyes, I can't do my job properly?"
"What on earth are you doing?"
Yun Zheng asked curiously.
Zhang Xu said: "Haven't I come up with a lot of new gadgets recently? I sent some of those gadgets to several larger brothels, asking them to play with them during the parade..."
Listening to Zhang Xu's words, Yun Zheng was once again astounded.
genius!
Zhang Xu is a fucking business genius!
Isn’t this a typical celebrity effect?
This wave of advertising is sure to be a big hit!
"Your move is really brilliant!"
Yun Zheng gave Zhang Xu a thumbs up and pulled Zhang Xu aside. "Have you taught them how to play with those things you gave away?"
Just like something like mahjong, if you don’t know how to play it, it’s useless no matter how beautiful it is!
"Of course I have!"
Zhang Xu showed a typical smile of a profiteer, and chuckled: "I have rented three new shops in the city. Together with my original shop, we now have shops everywhere. We are just waiting to make a fortune after tonight..."
In addition to the general stuff, he also made a lot of exquisite stuff.
For example, mahjong is made not only of wood and stone, but also of jade!
In order to teach the brothel girls how to play those things, Zhang Xu stayed overnight in the brothel for several days in a row.
Listening to Zhang Xu talking incessantly, Yun Zheng couldn't help but give him a thumbs up again.
This guy is definitely a born businessman!
He wants to catch customers from the low, medium and high levels in one fell swoop!
"I was right about you. You definitely have the potential to become the richest businessman in our Dagan Dynasty!"
Yun Zheng looked at Zhang Xu with a smile on his face.
Damn it, once I have established myself in Shuobei, I will definitely bring Zhang Xu to Shuobei!
“No, no…”
Zhang Xu waved his hands repeatedly and said with a chuckle: "Your Highness is the richest businessman, and I am the second richest businessman!"
Oh shit!
This flattery caught me off guard!
But why does it sound so comfortable?
Yun Zheng looked at Zhang Xu with a smile, and then asked in a low voice: "Have you figured out the rapid-fire crossbow?"
"Don't you ever mention this to me!"
Zhang Xu said depressedly, "I spent a whole day and night tinkering with it before I finally figured it out. I excitedly took it back to show my grandfather and wanted to take credit for it, but he scolded me like a dog!"
"ah?"
Yun Zheng was stunned.
This guy actually made a repeating crossbow?
Logically speaking, shouldn’t such a good thing be praised by Zhang Huai?
How could Zhang Huai still scold him?
That doesn't make sense!
Zhang Xu said bitterly: "We already have that kind of continuous-fire crossbow! Moreover, it can fire two at a time, and can fire five times in a row!"
"ah?"
Yun Zheng was dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Did the Dagan Dynasty already have this kind of continuous-fire crossbow?
It seems to be more advanced than the Zhuge Crossbow he mentioned?
Depend on!
How come I don’t know?
After all, he had been in the Shenwu Army for a few days, but he had never seen the Shenwu Army equipped with crossbows!
Yun Zheng's face turned black and he quickly called Gao He over.
After some questioning, Yun Zheng finally figured out the situation.
The Dagan Dynasty did have this kind of repeating crossbow for a long time.
To be exact, this thing existed in the previous dynasty!
However, this type of repeating crossbow is complicated to manufacture, and even with regular maintenance, the failure rate is relatively high, and arrows often get stuck and cannot be shot out.
In addition, the shooting distance and accuracy of the repeating crossbow are not as good as those of ordinary crossbows. It has higher requirements for arrows and is extremely wasteful of arrows.
It is precisely because of these shortcomings that the army did not deploy this type of crossbow on a large scale.
Only the Shenji Battalion of the Yulin Guard used this type of crossbow in small quantities.
After figuring out the situation, Yun Zheng couldn't help but look upset.
If there is a lag problem, find a way to solve it!
How could such a sharp weapon be sent directly to the cold palace?
Since no one else uses this thing, he might as well use it himself!
This is an ancient version of a machine gun!
As long as you find the cause of the problem and solve it, this thing is definitely a powerful tool.
Soon, Yun Zheng made up his mind.
Tomorrow I will ask Xiao Dingwu to help me borrow a repeating crossbow and give it to Zhang Xu to study and improve it!
Afterwards, Yun Zheng pulled Zhang Xu aside and asked him to prepare some things.
Zhang Xu asked about its purpose, but Yun Zheng deliberately kept it a secret.
Just as the two were talking, a young girl suddenly walked towards them.
"Meet Master Liu, meet Master Zhang."
As soon as the girl arrived, she bowed to them.
Yun Zheng was surprised, and looked sideways at Zhang Xu, "Do you know her?"
"It seems... a little familiar!"
Zhang Xu smacked his lips and asked the girl again, "Where have we met before?"
"In reply to Master Zhang, my name is Mingyue, and I am Miss Miaoyin's maid."
Mingyue replied to Zhangxu, then pointed to the pleasure boat still moored on the shore and said to Yunzheng: "My lady just saw you two gentlemen on the pleasure boat and wanted to invite you two to the boat for a chat. Is it convenient for you two gentlemen?"
Wonderful sound?
Do the women in brothels have maids?
Is this how an oiran is treated?
Yun Zheng was surprised and subconsciously looked towards the pleasure boat.
What does this girl have to talk to me about?
The key point is that she is a prostitute who sells her art but not her body!
If this were not the case, they could have had a deeper exchange.
"Look, Miss Miaoyin still remembers the prize from last time!"
Zhang Xu chuckled and lowered his voice, "Sixth Prince, I've always wanted to see what Miaoyin looks like. Let me follow you and take advantage of you!"
have to!
Since Zhang Xu said so, it was difficult for him to refuse.
Seeing Yun Zheng nod, Zhang Xu immediately said to Mingyue: "Since Miss Miaoyin has invited us so kindly, we can't refuse her face. Let's go!"
To slap her in the face?
I just want to strip her clothes!
Yun Zheng thought evilly in his heart.
Okay!
Go see what this girl looks like.
To be praised like that, this person must be very good-looking, right?
She won't wear a veil again this time, will she?
Well, research shows that looking at beautiful women can help you live longer...
