Chapter 512: Chapter 512. The Difficult Problem Was Solved Just Like That

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Qin Tie took out a weapon that he had invented recently. It was a weapon that could shoot arrows when placed on a horse’s back and stepped on. It could kill the enemy by surprise when facing them head-on.

This was also something Qin Tie had researched when he encountered a bottleneck in making mortars. Since Young Master and Madam valued him so much, he had to be helpful.

“Not bad; the three armies can use it.”

Su Qing took a look and saw that this had significantly increased the combat strength of the Calgary man.

“I also made this. Look, I named this the Great Divine Cannon…”

Qin Tie took out a newly developed offensive weapon. It was a war chariot. There was a cowhide tendon on the chariot. When the weapon was placed on it, it could shoot high and far. When attacking a city, it could use firewood filled with tung oil to ignite it. When it was shot into the city, it would cause a big fire.

Qin Tie explained to Su Qing pa.s.sionately. Su Qing could understand it even without him explaining. This weapon was a little clumsy but still considered a very advanced weapon in this era.

“It’s pretty good. I’ll send you some refined iron later and order someone to build a blacksmith s forge in your courtyard.”

Su Qing wasn’t too enthusiastic about this weapon. It was too clumsy and inconvenient. It was better to make a mortar as soon as possible. That would be both light and powerful. Its range would be much further than this.

“Alright.”

Because Su Qing was not enthusiastic about the Great Divine Cannon, Qin Tie’s expression darkened. He thought that the young madam would like this weapon.

“Balance work and rest. Eat first. Only when you’re full will your brain be bright.”

Su Qing pointed at the food and asked him to eat first.

“I’ll go back first and help you prepare refined iron.”

“Alright, Young Madam, take care.”

Qin Tie hurriedly cupped his fists and sent Su Qing off.

Su Qing came out of Qin Tie’s house and ordered the guards to replace the maids to serve Qin Tie’s meals and wash up. She did not allow any outsiders to approach Qin Tie’s house.

After she returned, she went to the blacksmith shop. A few blacksmiths were working bare-chested in the winter and were sweating profusely. They earned piece-rate wages. The more they worked, the more they earned. The less they worked, the less they earned. If they did well, they would be rewarded. If they did poorly, they would be fined three times. They did not even need anyone to watch them. They did not dare to neglect their work. Their work efficiency was high, and the weapons they made were of high quality.

When they saw Su Qing, the blacksmiths hurriedly put down their work and respectfully called out to Su Qing,

“Young Madam.”

“Yes, give me a stove.”

Su Qing nodded and spoke to the head of the Blacksmith.

“Yes, you can use mine!”

They were all paid by the piece, and if they wasted time, they would earn less money. Others were probably unwilling, so the Blacksmith gave up his furnace.

Everyone knew that Young Madam’s smithing skills were top-notch. Before they came, Young Madam had always made her weapons.

Although they knew about it, they had never seen it before. Today, they were fortunate enough to see the young madam forging. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if they had to earn less money, they had to watch it. Therefore, none of the blacksmiths worked and gathered around to watch Su Qing forge.

“I want to make a cylinder. Do you have any way to do it?” Su Qing suddenly asked the Blacksmith.

“That’s easy. You just need to burn the iron until it’s red and smash it long. Then, you just need to use a round iron pillar you made beforehand to pierce it into the red-hot iron embryo.

Blacksmithing was an ancestral skill. Three generations of the family had been blacksmiths. When Su Qing said that, he smiled and immediately proposed a solution.

“That’s a good idea. How about this? I’ll draw a picture and mark the dimensions.”

Su Qing did not expect the problem to be solved so easily. Sometimes, one should not underestimate ordinary people. Their experience was a treasure.

“Alright, I will not disappoint Young Madam.”

Hearing Su Qing’s words, the Blacksmith immediately expressed his loyalty. It was an honor to be able to help the young madam.

In the hearts of the people of Mo City, Su Qing was the savior who had saved them from the abyss of suffering. She was the protector who could let them eat and live in peace. They respected and submitted to her from the bottom of their hearts.

“Alright, when can you make it?”

Su Qing was delighted with the Blacksmith’s answer. She asked for a deadline. Shuisheng had led his troops to defend Luo City. Wan Yulin had sent an army to attack and was determined to win. The pressure of defending the city was very high. The earlier they made the mortars, the less pressure they had to face. They could lead the army south to attack the capital when they had enough artillery sh.e.l.ls and mortars.

“It depends on how big Young Madam wants to make it. The bigger it is, the more time it will take.”

The Blacksmith did not dare to exaggerate, afraid the young madam would blame him if he could not make it.

“I’ll give you two days to make it. I’ll reward you with ten taels of silver.”

Su Qing glanced at him and saw that the Blacksmith was holding back, so she set a time for him. If he could make it within two days, he would be rewarded with silver. If he couldn’t make it, he wouldn’t be able to earn this money.

“Yes, yes, I will do it.”

Ten taels of silver? The Blacksmith’s eyes lit up. They worked hard for a month and only earned three taels of silver and five catties of brown rice. In just two days, they could earn ten taels of silver. This was simply like a pie falling from the sky. He was so happy that he immediately agreed.

The other blacksmiths looked at their head Blacksmith enviously. If they could do it well, they could earn ten taels of silver for three people in two days. Just thinking about it was beautiful!

Su Qing was in a good mood when she exited the blacksmith shop. The haze in her heart was swept away. She strolled on the streets of Mo City. The once desolate Mo City was bustling with life under Xing Ruhai’s governance. The shops on the streets were almost empty. They were all businessmen who had come to do business in Mo City after hearing that it was good to do business in Mo City.

The refugees also had their places to live. Su Qing and the others had prepared many jobs for them, such as wineries, blacksmiths, and laborers, to strengthen the city. As long as they worked hard, they could earn money. If they did not starve, they would love Mo City even more. They transferred their relatives and friends over.

Su Qing looked around as she walked. She felt even more at ease when she saw the dense atmosphere of the mortal world. She and Shuisheng had cut through the thorns to build a peaceful world where everyone could eat and wear warm clothes. There would no longer be beggars begging on the streets.

In the past, she only cared about killing and did not care about the people in the world. Now, her mentality has changed. Seeing that the people in the city under her governance could live and work in peace and contentment, she felt a sense of satisfaction. Su Qing had just reached the winery entrance when she saw Li Shuang’er coming out of the winery with a face full of sweat. When she saw Su Qing, Li Shuang’er called out to her happily,

“Sister Su Qing.”

“Hmm, are you alone here?”

Su Qing nodded in response. She looked at the smoking winery and asked Li Shuang ’er.

In the past, Su Qing had wanted to hand over the winery management to Jiang Yuyan. She had even taught her the bartending skills. However, Jiang Old Seven had gone to become the Northern Barbarian City Lord, so their entire family had to move over. Jiang Yuyan could no longer stay in the winery. Su Qing then entrusted Li Shuang’er with an important task. She asked Jiang Yuyan to teach her first, and she would come over to teach her when she had time.

“Sister Yuyan is mixing drinks inside. I’m going to the toilet.”

Li Shuang’er pointed at the winery with a smile. She came out because her stomach hurt and she had to go to the toilet..
