Chapter 271 The rise and fall of a country depends on the skin?
When Lin Qingwan saw the two men coming back, she quickly put down her teacup, calmed herself down, and stood up.
"Master Chen, you are back."
Mr. Chen obviously had not recovered from his excitement just now. He said to Lin Qingwan excitedly: "Ms. Lin, Brother Ding told me that these weapons were all designed by Miss Lin. I didn't expect that Miss Lin is so talented in this area. I admire her so much!!"
Then, Chen Dongsheng's expression became a little serious, and he bowed to Lin Qingwan with apology. Lin Qingwan didn't understand why, so she hurriedly helped Master Chen. Chen Dongsheng then said, "I am shallow. At the beginning, when His Royal Highness the King of War gave this important task to Miss Lin, I was a little bit dissatisfied in my heart, but now, I only admire Miss Lin! I apologize to Miss Lin for my shallow self before!"
After saying this, Master Chen bowed again. Lin Qingwan hurriedly supported him and said, "Master Chen, you don't have to be like this. I am just a woman, and anyone would think this way about someone they don't know. Besides, didn't Master Chen come with me? This also proves that Master Chen is not that kind of superficial person. Master Chen doesn't have to apologize."
This matter was over just like that. Several people sat together and began to discuss the next step of making weapons. Lin Qingwan arranged the formation as usual. This move made Lord Chen amazed. At this moment, he had already guessed it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. His heart was already in turmoil. This Miss Lin can not only make weapons, but also set up formations. I didn't expect that this old man Lin Xiaochen actually has such a powerful daughter. He is really blessed!
It seems that rumors are really unreliable. Before, there were rumors in the capital that Lin Qingwan was an absolute loser and ugly girl. In just over a year, this girl's face has improved, she is no longer ugly, and her abilities are still so strong. The people in the capital have long rumored that Lin Qingwan is a living Bodhisattva. This reversal of reputation also caught people off guard.
Maybe, Lin Qingwan was hiding her incompetence before, it's hard to say, after all, it was rumored that her stepmother was not kind to her. Now that her stepmother is gone, there is no need for Lin Qingwan to hide her incompetence, so she revealed it now.
Lord Chen thought so. But he could never imagine that Lin Qingwan had already changed her soul. This kind of thing was unbelievable, and no one would believe it even if he told it.
Master Chen sorted out his thoughts and returned to reality. After spending an afternoon together, the few of them became more familiar with each other, and naturally there were fewer empty formalities. Especially Ding Lei, who was already calling him "big brother". And Master Chen also called Ding "brother".
Nonsense, if this brother doesn't recognize him, he will suffer a great loss! Thinking about the future, Brother Ding promised him that if there are any new weapons, he will be the first to send them to his house. He couldn't help laughing like a pig.
Seeing that Master Chen was laughing for no apparent reason, the two stared at him in a daze. Master Chen immediately realized his mistake and hurriedly explained awkwardly: "Excuse me, I just thought of something. Let's continue!"
Only then did they get to the point.
Lin Qingwan thought about the raw materials and said, "Sir Chen, the raw materials that can be used to deal with cultivators must be extraordinary and require some precious materials. I have made a list here. Please see if you can collect them. The more the better. In addition, I have asked my subordinates to collect them as well. This raw material must be put on the agenda."
Lord Chen took the list and took a look. What are these? Golden Flame Stone, Purple Crystal Copper, Blood Yang Iron, Monster Bone, etc. It is difficult to collect them all, but then he thought, if I report this to the Emperor, maybe the court will have them? After all, with the power of a country, they will definitely collect them.
Master Chen folded the list and put it inside his clothes. Then he said, "I will report this to the Emperor!"
Lin Qingwan nodded. She had thought about the raw materials. If she couldn't find the raw materials, she would contribute her method of refining steel essence. This thing has excellent hardness and can be used to refine ordinary magic tools. Unless it is absolutely necessary, she will use the old method to refine magic tools. The list provided to Mr. Chen just now is some raw materials for refining low-level magic tools. Considering that ordinary people can't use magic tools, she needs to carve talismans and formations on them herself.
Ordinary people only need to gently stimulate it to achieve the desired effect. This stimulation only requires some spirit stones to achieve the effect, and Lin Qingwan has a whole mountain of spirit stones in the space. It is completely possible to take out some for emergency use. She is not so stingy that she is reluctant to provide even a little bit of spirit stones.
After solving the problem of raw materials, Lin Qingwan planned to talk about weapons.
"Master Chen, what kind of weapons are more suitable for us on the battlefield? You have just looked at them carefully. Please tell us which weapons are suitable. We will select a few and mass-produce them for use on the battlefield!"
As the Minister of War, Chen Dongsheng had also been a commander on the battlefield, so he was quite familiar with this aspect. After thinking for a while, he said, "On the battlefield, there are infantry, cavalry, archers, and chariot soldiers."
"Infantry is the main force on the battlefield. They usually carry weapons and shields and fight in arrays. Therefore, shields and machetes are needed. Cavalry is highly mobile. They usually ride war horses and carry weapons such as bows and swords. Archers attack from a distance. They use bows and arrows to shoot. Chariot soldiers drive chariots. Chariots are usually pulled by horses and are equipped with weapons and defensive facilities. Weapons such as shields and powerful long-range shooting weapons should be used for prevention."
"So, to sum up, the weapons we need are: shield, knife, gun, bow and arrow, and weapons with strong lethality and large-scale burst. Which ones are useful here? Miss Lin, give me some advice."
"In addition, as for the weapons used against cultivators, Miss Lin will also need special weapons."
After listening to Lin Qingwan, she basically summarized the weapons needed. Ding Lei interrupted at this moment and said, "Brother Chen, the war is imminent and a large number of weapons are needed. In addition to the military department of the imperial court, blacksmiths from all over the country can also be recruited to forge weapons together. In addition, I can provide more advanced weapon drawings for the imperial court to use."
Ding Lei developed a lot of more sophisticated weapons by himself, and after Lin Qingwan's review, he actually made them. At this moment, they also came in handy.
I was very touched to see Ding Lei being so generous and willing to share his own drawings.
"Okay, okay! Brother Ding, I was right about you! You really have great ambitions and a broad mind! I would like to thank you on behalf of the court and the people!"
As he said that, Lord Chen was about to stand up and salute, but was stopped by Ding Lei. Ding Lei scratched the back of his head and said hesitantly: "I am not as good as you say. It's just like what Ding Xuan said before. What's it called? ... The rise and fall of a country depends on the skin?"
Ding Lei scratched his head and tried to recall the story carefully, but when he said it out loud, it didn't sound right.
"Hahaha! Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of a country! Good job, brother Ding Lei!"
As soon as Mr. Chen heard it, he knew what Ding Lei wanted to say. So he quickly corrected it. Ding Lei's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Yes, yes, yes! That's it!"
Lin Qingwan also shook her head in amusement. Ding Lei could not read, but Ding Xuan could. Ding Lei always pestered Ding Xuan to teach him how to read. After a while, he did hear a lot of truths, but he only understood half of them! It was quite good that he could remember this sentence!
