Chapter 600

"Alright, let's leave the cement matter here for now."

"It won't solidify in a moment; just wait half a day or a day."

"When the time comes, take a club and hit it to test it."

"If it's still not hard, you can come find me then."

Ying Ying Zi Ye lifted his feet and walked toward the hall.

He didn't come here to play with mud.

Seeing this, Gongshu Meng and the other followed quickly.

Sun Wu looked at his dirty body and ran off halfway to wash his hands.

Entering the hall like this was simply insulting to refinement.

In the main hall.

Gongshu Meng personally brewed a pot of tea and brought it in front of Ying Ying Zi Ye.

"Your Highness, please drink tea."

Ying Ying Zi Ye took the tea and took a light sip.

"Miss Gongshu, I wonder how those weapons in your Craftsman Bureau are being forged?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye didn't bother with pleasantries and directly asked what he wanted to know.

Gongshu Meng also didn't stand on ceremony; that set of etiquette seemed irrelevant in front of Ying Ying Zi Ye.

She sat down slowly, and upon hearing the question, she suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Your Highness, you are really making it difficult for this young lady."

"This young lady doesn't know either; this matter isn't under my management."

Gongshu Meng also poured herself a pot of tea.

She lifted a corner of her black veil and took a light sip of tea.

Ying Ying Zi Ye was surprised; not under her management?

What kind of situation was this?

"Aren't you the head of the Craftsman Bureau?"

"How come this matter isn't under your management?"

Hearing this, Gongshu Meng laughed until she was swaying.

Certain parts of her body trembled.

Gongshu Meng laughed for a while, but seeing Ying Ying Zi Ye had no reaction.

She spat and muttered something softly.

"Your Highness, to use your words, it would be."

"This young lady is just a technical consultant."

"This position of Bureau Head is just a name."

"Everything is managed by Sun Wu."

"I don't have time to manage these trivial matters."

Gongshu Meng indeed did not have time.

She spent most of her time studying all sorts of strange and peculiar things.

She was into research and development, not production.

If it weren't for the fact that the Great Qin Daily could help the Gongshu family.

She would have quit long ago.

Ying Ying Zi Ye was suddenly unable to laugh or cry.

So that was how it was.

He also hadn't thought of this point.

He had invited Gongshu Meng here to tinker with some high-difficulty technical problems.

Now that he was asking her about production problems, of course she wouldn't know.

This Bureau Head was truly irresponsible.

However, Ying Ying Zi Ye was not annoyed; this was the privilege of a beautiful woman with strength and looks.

Gongshu Meng deserved to have such a privilege.

Although he hadn't seen her true face, that graceful figure alone was enough to beat most women.

Talent, after all, is worth being treated specially wherever it goes.

"Then let's wait for Sun Wu to return before talking."

Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled indifferently.

There was not a hint of anger.

This time it was Gongshu Meng's turn to be surprised.

Her gaze flickered with strange light, staring at Ying Ying Zi Ye without blinking.

It seemed she wanted to see through the other party.

She said this, and Ying Ying Zi Ye wasn't even angry.

This was somewhat baffling.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have been furious long ago.

The hall fell into a brief silence.

Not long after.

Sun Wu entered the hall again.

"Subordinate Sun Wu greets the Crown Prince."

"Sorry to keep the Crown Prince waiting."

As soon as Sun Wu entered, he felt the atmosphere here was slightly off.

But he didn't think much of it and bowed directly.

"No need for formalities."

"Sit down and talk."

Ying Ying Zi Ye waved his hand, signaling Sun Wu to sit.

After Sun Wu sat down.

Ying Ying Zi Ye began to inquire.

He repeated what he had just said to Gongshu Meng.

Sun Wu listened quietly for a while and soon understood.

His Highness came here because of that batch of weapons last time.

Speaking of the weapons manufactured last time, the horse-chopping sabers and the three-piece horse set.

These weapons left a deep impression on him; now that His Highness mentioned them again.

He immediately became interested.

It was just that not many of these weapons were manufactured.

It was temporarily impossible to manufacture them on a large scale.

Whether it was iron ore, smelting, there were still some shortcomings.

"Your Highness, because of the material, there aren't many of those weapons."

"Iron ore needs to be found; once found, it requires a lot of manual labor to dig, and then it needs to be transported back for smelting."

"And that meteorite iron has been used up; the horse-chopping sabers can only be made with ordinary iron and hundred-refined steel."

Sun Wu explained; it wasn't that they didn't want to build them, but it was a material problem.

If there were enough materials, building those pieces of equipment wouldn't be difficult.

The difficulty was that iron was hard to find and the smelting part.

Ying Ying Zi Ye nodded; he also understood.

After all, in this era, finding iron ore wasn't that easy.

There were no instruments to explore; it all relied on manual labor and luck to discover.

The technology for smelting iron blocks wasn't that advanced either.

"Then how much equipment has been manufactured now?" ===== CHAPTER 602 =====
