Chapter 58 - Negotiating with the Princess (2/2)
Am I a man that you can summon as you please?
I won’t leave just because you askto report,” Zhou Shu said
“What is it?” Yin Wuyou turned to look at the busy soldiers on the execution ground outside the
“Grand Minister, what is yourup the 0th Workshop? What are your plans for the 0th Workshop?” Zhou Shu asked
Yin Wuyou looked back at Zhou Shu strangely This wasn’t a question aApprentice would ask
No, he was no longer a Forging Apprentice but a workshop superintendent
But to Yin Wuyou, they were both the same
“What do you think my purpose is?”
“I don’t knohat your purpose is, Grand Minister” Zhou Shu said confidently, “But I don’t think you set up another workshop outside of the one hundred and eight workshops just to add another sweatshop, right?”
“A sweatshop?” Yin Wuyou didn’t understand him, and she raised her brows in confusion
Zhou Shu knew he had ave a perfunctory reply “I mean a workshop similar to the other workshops Every month, you work as hard as you can and then hand over a batch of weapons…
“I feel that if that’s all, Grand Minister, there’s no need for you to set up the 0th Workshop The existing workshops are h to supply the standard weapons of Great Xia’s arnaled Zhou Shu to continue
Zhou Shu continued, “Grand Minister, that’s why I believe that you established the 0th Workshop not just to increase the production of some standard weapons
“I don’t knohat you think, Grand Minister, but as the superintendent of the 0th Workshop, I have an iestion I hope you can consider it
“I personally feel that the Forging Division is lacking a specialized workshop to study standard weapons”
Zhou Shu calmly said, “Now that the 0th Workshop has just been built, everything will start froht that it would be better to turn it into a research facility for weapons”
“Research facility? How do you explain the word research?” Yin Wuyou said She tried her best to look shrewd, but the curiosity in her eyes betrayed her
“Research is about studying the forging process and finding ways to increase the efficiency of the forging process, then develop new standard weapons or even ranked weapons, including analyzing and disasse the enemy’s weapons,” Zhou Shu explained
Yin Wuyou nodded In the past, the Forging Division had also done these things But Forging Masters did them based on their own interest
The concept of this research facility Zhou Shu proposed intrigued Yin Wuyou
“Are you saying that the 0th Workshop will focus on developing weapons in the future and will no longer take on daily forging tasks?” Yin Wuyou asked
“Yes” Zhou Shu nodded “If we take on daily forging tasks, it will consuy to develop neeapons?”
“But Great Xia doesn’t need so many neeapons”
Yin Wuyou’s words almost caused Zhou Shu’s plan to fail before he could carry it out
Doesn’t need sostandard weapons is ht, I have to admit that Yin Wuyou’s words make sense
After all, this wasn’t the Earth of his previous life Although standard weapons were important, ranked weapons were th of a country was still the ranked weapons Standard weapons were just the foundation
Right now, the standard weapons of Great Xia were already the most powerful in the entire continent What was the use of theer?
“You can’t say that,” Zhou Shu said “Grand Minister, Great Xia’s standard weaponsahead now doesn’t nate and the other countries continue to advance, they will surpass us sooner or later
“With the Hundred Refine Pommel Saber, on’t have to worry about Great Xia for at least a few decades,” Yin Wuyou said confidently “These two standard weapons are already the pinnacle of standard weapons!”
Zhou Shu felt extremely helpless Even I’ standard weapons is only teoal of the 0th Workshop is to develop ranked weapons!” Zhou Shu clenched his teeth I can’t reason with her
Could the princess really wantHer ss
But she immediately realized that she had lost her co “The 0th Workshop doesn’t even have a Forging Master, yet you dare to talk about researching ranked weapons?”
“Grand Minister, life is full of ups and downs!” Zhou Shu said in a low voice “Don’t discriht now, the 0th Workshop doesn’t have a Forging Master, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be one in the future!”
Yin Wuyou smirked “We’ll talk about the future later At least for now, you still haven’t convinced me”
“What if I say that every once in a while, the 0th Workshop will be able to develop a neeapon?” Zhou Shu frowned
“In addition, these neeapons will definitely not be inferior to the previous standard weapons Can this prove the use of the 0th Workshop?”
“Can you guarantee it?” Yin Wuyou said, “Even a Forging Master wouldn’t dare to speak so confidently How about this? If you can develop a new standard weapon that is stronger than the Hundred Refineree to it”
“Are you serious?”
“I never lie!”
“Alright, let’s sign a contract first!”
Yin Wuyou: “…”
