Chapter 1947: Killing the Demon (1)(2/2)
Along with this reply came two drawings.
One is the design drawing of a kind of mechanical crossbow. It seems that the complexity is even higher than the newly developed Hundred War God mechanical crossbow by Gongshu Family not long ago. There is a thick stack of drawings.
The other is a drawing of a stargazing instrument, which is relatively simple.
Looking at this pile of drawings, Gu Xun couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"This doesn't look like the solution given by the headmaster of the Yin-Yang family, but more like the solution of the Mohist family or the public loser."
Zhang Han, who was standing by, heard a flash of doubt in his eyes.
The fact that Donghuang Taiyi handed over two machine-creation blueprints is indeed nonsense, and Gu Xun's teasing is nothing.
But it was enough for him to just say that the public losers, and there was no need to add the Mohist family - the two families were equally matched in terms of their attainments in mechanism skills, but the Mohist family did not serve the empire.
Of course, Gu Xun has always been informal, so he naturally doesn't care about this kind of problem. He may just say it casually.
Zhang Han only felt that there was a little disharmony, but he did not doubt it too deeply.
As for Hidden Sun who was guarding the other side, there was no response at all - yes, Hidden Sun was also next to Gu Xun.
Although Ying Zheng's order was to put Zhang Han in charge, the people in Luo Sheng and Gu Xun were all assisting.
But as soon as Gu Xun shows up, he will naturally be the one in charge. Zhang Han must obey orders, and Zhan Ri must obey orders even more.
The former is just for work, while the latter is to save one's life.
Facing Zhang Han, Zhan Ri might dare to use his status to fight for power with him, but facing Gu Xun, he really has no choice but to give up.
Putting down the stack of drawings, Gu Xun looked at Zhang Han and Zhan Ri:
"The emperor wants to see the results within half a month. We can't understand the drawings. I'm afraid the Gongshu Qiu patriarch of the Gongshu family will have to come in person."
"However, there are only a few days left in the half-month period. Is it too late?"
Zhanri hurriedly replied, "Returning to the country, Master, it's time, it's time!"
"A few days ago, Mr. Gongshu has been transferred to Songhai urgently. I think he should arrive in a day or two at most."
The order to transfer the public and lose the enemy was basically issued on the same day that Donghuang Taiyi gave the solution. This order did not go through Ying Zheng or Zhao Gao, but went directly to the transfer order issued by Xianyang.
The emperor was pressing for results, so naturally he had to relax some authority when doing things below. Otherwise, if he waited for one step after another, it would be difficult to get results in two or three months.
Just like now, it would take at most one or two days for Gong Shuqiu to arrive at Songhai. If he had to wait for the news to be reported to the Eastern Patrol Team, and then the team would order the transfer, it would take at least another six or seven days.
Gu Xun nodded, and then said, "But it will take at least a few months to wait for Gongshuqiu to come, study the drawings, and then make the things on the drawings, right?"
"Still not enough time?"
Gu Xun seemed to be just watching the fun, just raising difficult issues without any help in solving them.
Fortunately, neither Ying Zheng nor Zhao Gao expected him to do anything, and everything was arranged.
"My lord, His Majesty the Emperor just needs an answer. He does not require us to resolve the matter within half a month."
Zhan Ri cautiously replied, "As long as Clan Chief Gongshu Qiu comes and confirms that there is nothing wrong with the drawings, we can temporarily hand over the work."
"Oh?" Gu Xun smiled, "So, nothing will happen to us?"
"This..." Zhanri thought for a moment and replied, "The problem caused by this mechanism creation can be solved by the Gongshuqiu clan leader. However, it may be necessary for the national preceptor to find someone from the Yinyang family to find out what these two things are. See if there are any usage problems."
If possible, Zhanri would like to follow Gu Xun's words and tell him to leave it alone.
But he didn't see Gu Xun's attitude as if he was ready to become a hands-off shopkeeper, so he didn't dare to go on. He could only find some work for Gu, and it had to be serious work.
Hearing this, Gu Xun refused to take the job and pushed it back lightly:
"It's such a small matter, so I don't have to deal with it myself. Master Zhenri, please come and go."
"If there is any urgent situation, remember to report it in time."
"...Yes." Zhanri didn't know what Gu Xun had in mind, but he didn't refuse.
One is because he doesn't dare, and the other is because he is really willing to do it.
If you go to work, you can be farther away from Guxun, and he will be happy to pick up dung.
After Zhanri left with a large pile of drawings, Gu Xun looked at Zhang Han and asked with a smile:
"How about it? What do you think of the method given by Donghuang Taiyi?"
"This..." Zhang Han hesitated for a moment, then responded calmly, "It's unexpected, but it doesn't seem to be easy to use."
