The Golden County Magistrate

Tang Shuo's face lit up, and he praised: "That's the truth!"

After the defeat, there were less than a thousand people following him.

Without people, it was useless to say anything, even if he was a real member of the Great Zhou royal family.

If you want people, you must have money first.

Only with enough silver can you have a chance to make a comeback.

Before, the reason why he risked returning to Yandi was to try to get back the silver he left in Yandi before the uprising, but unfortunately, it was a wasted trip.

Now, Qingshan County has given him hope again.

"In this case, you should prepare well and not rush to the door."

Tang Shuo glanced at his clothes, which were really tattered.

Even if the magistrate of Qingshan County did not obey the empress, he would never cooperate with a ragged man like him.

Bai Xiang agreed and nodded, "Your Highness is right."

Tang Shuo reached into the pocket on his sleeve, touched it gently, and sighed, "There are still a few coins, which should be enough for us to find an inn to stay for one night."

Back then, he was a prince who had everything he wanted.

The whole Yan area respected him.

Now he has to calculate whether the money he has is enough for accommodation. The difference in life circumstances is so big that it makes people sigh.

After the war, more merchants came to Qingshan County.

Many people in Qingshan County saw the business opportunities, and various shops gradually increased, specializing in making money from outsiders.

Among them, there are also many inns.

Tang Shuo, Bai Xiang and others found a small inn, asked about the price, and the silver they had was just enough, so they moved in with peace of mind.

"I didn't expect the inn environment in Qingshan County to be so good."

Tang Shuo was very satisfied with the accommodation environment.

The room was not big, but it was very clean.

That little bit of change was definitely not enough for a single room, so the five of them only booked two rooms.

Tang Shuo and Bai Xiang shared a guest room, while Wu Handong and two other men lived in another room.

"I'll wash myself and my clothes later, and I'll see the county magistrate tomorrow after I'm done." Tang Shuo murmured.

The thought of having to wash my clothes later gave him a headache.

He was originally a prince, and he had maids to help him with laundry.

Now, he was surrounded by a group of grown men, so he had to do laundry himself.

"Just now I inquired about it. The county magistrate here is named Chen Yan. It seems that the local people respect him very much." Bai Xiang whispered: "By the way, I just chatted with many merchants in the hall. I also heard that whether it is cosmetics or cement, it was Chen Yan who made it."

"Chen Yan..." Tang Shuo muttered and remembered the name, "This person is really capable. A scholar actually knows these things. It really makes me look at him with new eyes."

Bai Xiang nodded and continued: "Whether His Highness can make a comeback, this person should be the key."

"Master Bai, don't worry. Tomorrow we will meet this person in the name of redeeming people. If he is really capable, it is not impossible for me to lower my status and visit him three times." Tang Shuo understood Bai Xiang's meaning and replied in a low voice.

...

After a busy day, Chen Yan finally returned to the backyard of the county government.

Lu Qing'er ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal. Chen Yan had just taken two bites when he saw Zheng Yan trotting in.

"It's already dark, why are you here?" Chen Yan was a little surprised.

Zheng Yan said coldly: "Boss He made it."

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while, "What did you make?"

Zheng Yan seemed to be a little anxious to run over, and took a few deep breaths. After calming down, she said: "It's the thing you asked Boss He to secretly make a year ago."

After Chen Yan remembered, he stood up suddenly and looked at Zheng Yan in disbelief, "Really?"

Chen Yan really couldn't believe that it could really be made.

Zheng Yan nodded slightly, "That's what the blacksmith said, dancing and gesticulating, as if he was going crazy, you should go and have a look."

Chen Yan didn't care about eating, and immediately stood up, "Let's go and have a look. If he really made it, I will spare him from prison."

Chen Yan and Zheng Yan came to the Qingshan County Prison in the corner of the county government's classroom.

Because it was reformed by Chen Yan, the Qingshan County Prison was not very big, with only six cells.

Now, there is only one person in the cell, and his name is Boss He.

Although it is said to be locked, the door of the cell is not closed, but Boss He is forbidden to leave the cell.

As soon as he entered the cell, Chen Yan heard someone shouting in the cell.

"Haha, a genius design, the county magistrate is really a god."

The person who shouted was none other than Boss He.

"I didn't expect this thing to be realized. I, a mere craftsman, may also borrow the light of the county magistrate and go down in history."

At this time, Chen Yan had come up to him and saw Boss He holding the prison boss, looking excited.

"Boss He, did you really figure it out?" Chen Yan asked in disbelief.

Seeing that it was Chen Yan, Boss He let go of the prison boss, turned around immediately, picked up a short crossbow from a table, and looked excited.

"Haha, I'm glad you did it. You are a genius for designing this. "

Chen Yan took the short crossbow with doubt and looked at it for a long time. The more he looked at it, the more excited he became.

Boss He was once a craftsman of the Imperial Household Department. He offended his superiors and was demoted back to his hometown, Qingshan County.

Not long after returning to Qingshan County, he got into a fight with someone after drinking and seriously injured the other person.

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chen Yan sentenced him to three years in prison.

Occasionally, when he looked up Boss He's life, Chen Yan learned that this guy was from the Imperial Household Department and was a craftsman who made weapons for the court.

So he had the idea of ​​playing around, so he drew the blueprint of the Zhuge Crossbow that he had seen on the Internet in his previous life and gave it to Boss He.

I didn't intend to If the Zhuge Liannu is really made, it is something that has been lost in the previous life. It must be difficult to make it in reality.

Boss He was immediately interested when he saw the blueprint and asked for all the equipment. Chen Yan thought that there were no other prisoners in the Qingshan County prison anyway, so he asked Zheng Yan to meet Boss He's needs and let him do whatever he wanted.

Originally, Chen Yan didn't take this matter to heart at all, he was just playing around.

Now it has been a year, and Chen Yan has completely forgotten about it.

Unexpectedly, Boss He suddenly gave him a surprise.

"The appearance is similar. "

Chen Yan nodded slightly, and his mood calmed down.

The appearance is almost useless.

In the previous life, many modern people were able to restore the drawings through the records in books and the effects of Zhuge Liannu. The drawings he drew for Boss He were like this.

But no one can still make Zhuge Liannu 100%.

Even if it is made, the power is far from the Zhuge Liannu recorded in the books.

The key is whether it can be fired continuously while ensuring sufficient power.
