"Without good weapons and good armor, those soldiers wouldn't even know how they died."
"His Majesty has entrusted us with such an important task, so we should do our best to complete it."
"Instead of being carefree and irresponsible."
"Don't you have brothers and sisters fighting on the battlefield?"
"You all think that these armors and weapons are for our own brothers to use."
"Thinking this way will reduce the chances of making a mistake."
“I’m telling you, if anyone makes another mistake, they can go home and quit.”
"I can't support an old man like this."
Those people were all talked about like quails.
Shrinking his neck and lowering his head, he dared not utter a sound.
Suddenly, the sound of applause came from inside the quiet room.
Those people wondered, "Who is this? How dare they make a sound when the matchmaker is so angry?"
They turned their heads away cautiously.
Then I saw a beautiful young girl!
This girl was as beautiful as a flower, with a great figure—slim where she should be and curvy where she should be—and even her face was perfect.
Although he doesn't look particularly old, he's quite tall.
Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh my god, Goddess."
"What goddess? This is His Majesty."
The matchmaker turned around following the sound and saw Lin Ru smiling!
She quickly took the lead and knelt down.
He bowed deeply to Lin Ru.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! May Your Majesty be well!"
The workers all knelt on the ground and performed a very respectful salute.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! May Your Majesty be well!"
Lin Ru: "Rise!"
The matchmaker then stood up with her entourage.
Remembering what she had just said, and fearing that Lin Ru might misunderstand, she quickly spoke up for her subordinates, saying, "Actually, these people don't usually make mistakes."
"Everyone is very meticulous in their work."
"I just made a small mistake today."
“I have already given them a good talking-to, and they will definitely not do it again next time.”
Lin Ru nodded. "Alright! Since the matchmaker has said so, I naturally believe her."
"You all need to work well with the matchmaker."
"Those who perform well at the end of the year will have their bonuses doubled."
The workers below immediately cheered.
Then they all knelt down to express their gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The matchmaker was somewhat touched, realizing that His Majesty was giving the workers face by saying this on purpose!
If she doesn't do her job well, she will truly be letting down His Majesty's trust.
Lin Ru's visit this time wasn't for a surprise inspection!
She actually had a very bold idea she wanted to put into practice!
So she pulled the matchmaker aside and took out a blueprint from her bosom.
He handed this over.
"Look at this thing."
"Are the craftsmen in our area capable of making these parts?"
The matchmaker took the items.
At first, I didn't notice anything, but the more I looked, the more alarmed I became.
In the end, his whole body trembled with excitement.
"Your Majesty! This is..."
Lin Ru smiled!
"This thing is called a cannon."
"Very powerful!"
"The range is about three or four thousand meters."
"As long as you can make this, you can ask for whatever reward you want, and I can also grant you one request."
"Anything is fine."
"As long as I can do it!"
The matchmaker had a particular fondness for crafting weapons, and she would often chat with the second young master to see how to improve the weapons they had.
Seeing such a mysterious and magical cannon now feels like a dream.
Moreover, if they could make this thing, their Fengtian Kingdom would be absolutely invincible.
This thing is incredibly powerful.
Moreover, its range is exceptionally long.
Most importantly, if this thing is made, His Majesty will actually grant them any request.
This is the Emperor's promise.
Just like an imperial edict.
This made her even more agitated.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
"Our blacksmiths are very skilled."
"We can make many intricate things."
"It's the first time I've made something like this, so it might take some time."
Lin Ru had come to inquire with a try-it-out attitude, but to her surprise, the matchmaker readily agreed.
After thinking about it, she decided to go and see the blacksmiths herself.
The blacksmiths were extremely excited when they saw Lin Ru, looking flattered and overwhelmed.
Lin Ru discussed some details of the cannon's manufacturing process with him.
Then he offered some of his own suggestions.
This made all the blacksmith masters blush!
They felt that after talking with His Majesty, they had wasted the first half of their lives.
There are many viewpoints and details that they had never considered before.
This is truly an eye-opening experience.
They passed the blueprint around from one person to another.
They marveled at the ingenuity of this thing.
They understood that if they manufactured this thing, it would be a powerful deterrent to neighboring countries.
With this, no one will dare to bully Fengtian Kingdom anymore!
So those experienced workers became incredibly enthusiastic, as if they'd been injected with adrenaline.
He grabbed Lin Ru and immediately got to work.
Lin Ru had a detailed conversation with them and was eager to try it out herself.
Watching those iron blocks transform into intricate components after repeated hammering, was truly awe-inspiring.
It feels magical and very attractive.
Suddenly I understand why so many people in modern times can't sleep at night and enjoy watching sword forging competitions.
This is simply a baptism of the soul.
This is especially true for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder; it's a godsend.
Lin Ru watched them carefully as they broke apart the parts, offering suggestions from time to time.
Two days passed like this. They didn't rest at all during these two days, just grabbing a quick bite at mealtimes.
Then they started making parts again.
Lin Ru, like the blacksmiths, didn't take a break at all, and sometimes she would even go and work on the blacksmiths herself for a while.
In the end, it was Bai himself who took action.
"You, you've been here for so long, and you haven't even thought about going home."
“You don’t think it’s a big deal, but if these masters continue like this, they will get sick sooner or later.”
"Let them get some rest."
"You should go back too, a few more days won't make a difference."
“If you stay here all the time, those masters won’t dare to go home.”
Lin Ru suddenly realized what was happening.
She scratched her head a little embarrassedly.
"I was so excited that I completely forgot."
"Everyone, please go back and get some rest."
"I'm giving you a day off."
"Think it over carefully and study it thoroughly."
