Ten thousand taels of silver were returned as soon as they said they would, and Wang Ziyao was very impressed.
Zhu Wanting also admired him very much.
She thought Zhao Lin was just talking casually and she couldn't go to his house to ask for it. After all, Zhao Lin did write a poem for her, and he didn't say that it was only for her.
But he still got it back like this, Zhu Wanting had to admire Zhao Lin's magnanimity.
"People like this will definitely not be simple in the future. They will not be worse than Jiang Yichen, Bai Shicheng and the like."
Zhu Wanting thought for a moment and said to Wang Ziyao, "Please tell Master Zhao that if he gets tired of studying, he can come to me anytime. I'll make a bed for him."
Wang Ziyao's eyes immediately turned red with envy.
Damn, this seems to be the second person who said this.
The last one was Yun Zhiyi.
Wang Ziyao said shyly, "Young Master Zhao is busy, I can help him relax..."
"Go away."
Zhu Wanting scolded with a smile.
Wang Ziyao went back and told Zhao Lin what Zhu Wanting had said. Before Zhao Lin could react, Su Di sneered, "Humph, she's after your money. With ten thousand taels of silver, how many customers can she take on? Don't be fooled, or you'll lose both your money and your life."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Of course. I always like people giving me money."
Sudi sneered, "For example, Miss Fu?"
"Ahem." Zhao Lin almost choked. It was just a joke, how did it get dragged into Fu Liqing?
However, Fu Liqing was put under house arrest again after she returned, which was beyond Zhao Lin's expectations. It seemed that Fu Chengwang was very determined this time and would not allow her to go out casually before she got married.
This made Zhao Lin at a loss as to what to say in the poem he prepared for Fu Liqing.
But there is also good news, that is, Bai Shicheng and Jiang Yichen have been confined to their homes and will not be released until after the imperial examination.
Seven days later, Zhao Lin went to the blacksmith shop to get a gun.
"Mr. Zhao is here, please come in."
Shopkeeper Wang was smiling happily, without any sign of abnormality.
Zhao Lin asked, "Is the gun ready?"
"It's ready, it's ready. I prepared it yesterday and am just waiting for you to come and get it."
Shopkeeper Wang was smiling, and Zhao Lin always felt that his smile was very strange.
Humph, you dare to cheat me of seven hundred taels of silver, just wait and see how I will cheat you.
Shopkeeper Wang led Zhao Lin to the back and shouted, "Quickly bring out Young Master Zhao's gun."
"lift?"
Sudi, who came with him, felt something was wrong.
Then he saw two guys coming over, one in front and one behind, carrying a steel gun that looked very heavy.
Bang!
When the two men put the guns upright on the ground, a dull sound was heard.
"So heavy?"
Sudi stepped forward and held the gun, his face suddenly changed slightly, as if he was holding a big iron pillar. He tried to lift it with one hand, but he couldn't.
Sudi exerted a little force and finally picked up the gun. He waved it casually, his face serious, and turned to Zhao Lin and said, "It's too heavy."
Shopkeeper Wang quickly said, "This gun weighs 56 kilograms, so it's a bit heavy, but it's what Young Master Zhao requested. We made it entirely of fine steel, and we didn't skimp at all."
Zhao Lin took it and waved it a few times, then smiled and said, "Excellent gun. As expected of a famous blacksmith shop in the capital, I am very satisfied. Here is the balance."
Zhao Lin threw the remaining four hundred taels of silver to Shopkeeper Wang, picked it up with one hand, and said, "Let's go."
After the two men left, Manager Wang held the banknotes and his face turned grim.
"Boss, didn't you cheat him? Why is he still unhappy?" asked the waiter.
"Shut up and do your job." Shopkeeper Wang said angrily.
The guy walked away innocently.
Shopkeeper Wang was very unhappy.
He worked hard to make this steel gun, without cutting any corners, just to see Zhao Lin unable to use it. As a result, not only did he use it, he was also very happy. This made Manager Wang feel like he had eaten a mouthful of shit, feeling extremely aggrieved. Hundreds of taels of silver could not make him happy.
…
"It's too heavy, too heavy. It's okay for Dashan, but it's not enough for you." Wang Ziyao shook his head.
He practiced a few times with the iron spear, but it was far worse than using his own gun. He didn't feel tired at all when performing a set of gun moves with his own gun, but he was exhausted to death when using the iron spear.
"I estimate that if I use this gun, even if I ride a horse, I won't be able to swing it. My arms will be exhausted in half an hour at most and I can't use it on horseback."
Wang Ziyao pondered, "Besides, a 56-jin steel spear, plus the man and his armor, weighs nearly 300 jin. What horse can handle it? Unless it's a good horse like the Fire Dragon Colt that the Marquis of Zhenbei rides, it will fall down before the fight even starts."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "It's just for practice. It definitely can't be used on the battlefield."
This spear was made by Zhao Lin based on Zhao Yun's Longdan Bright Silver Spear. The Longdan Bright Silver Spear is also called Longdan Spear, which was one of the ten famous spears in ancient times in Zhao Lin's previous life.
However, the craftsmanship was not good enough. It is said that the Gentian spear only weighs 45 kilograms, while this steel spear weighs 56 kilograms, which is 11 kilograms more.
Eleven pounds may not seem like a lot, but it is a very terrifying amount when used in weapons, and this is compared with the Gentian spear.
Most weapons don't have this much difference.
"This gun is definitely a deadly weapon on the battlefield, but unfortunately few people can use it." Sudi shook his head repeatedly.
Zhang Dashan is strong enough, but he is not proficient in spearmanship, or he is just strong but not good at martial arts. Spearmanship, such delicate work, is not suitable for him. After Zhao Lin and Wang Ziyao discussed it, they decided to find a master who is good at using hammer, whip, or mace to be his teacher.
"By the way, you said Zhao Jingzhou has a good horse?" Zhao Lin suddenly asked.
"Yes, it's the Fire Dragon Colt. It attacked from the northwest. It's tall and fiery red. His Majesty specially awarded it to the Marquis of Zhenbei."
