I, Liu Bang, the Han Dynasty succubus

"She's not worth that. I can only sell it for 200. Why can she sell it for 2000?" Li Sisi was behind her, trying to sabotage her. This elder sister just can't stand her younger sister doing well.

"I'm worth all this, I'm much more valuable than her!" Instead of feeling inferior, Yingying retorted fiercely.

"How are you worth it? Look at your figure, and then look at mine...how can you compare to me?" Sisi really wanted her to die, and she didn't hold back at all when she attacked.

"Shut up!" Liu Ji glared at her.

The woman snorted and stopped talking.

"Liu Ji, I am really worth 2000. As long as you give me another 2000, I will definitely make you profitable, and make a lot of money." Yingying said firmly.

Liu Ji looked at her suspiciously.

She said forcefully, "You have to believe me."

Liu Ji waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about whether you believe it or not. Is this your attitude when you ask for help? Is there anyone who would ask for help with this attitude? Okay... Even if you are worth 2000, why should I buy it?"

The dead girl's face froze... If you ask her to argue with reason, she will, and if you ask her to confront others under pressure, she will, but she won't beg for help... She really won't.

Li Sisi also turned around and looked at him excitedly.

Wow... The great Qin Shi Huang is asking for help? This is rare.

Volume 081: Please

"Please...please."

"please."

"Please buy me."

She gritted her teeth and said this with a red face, and she wished she could burrow into the ground as she said this.

Yo~cute...

That's so cute.

It can be seen that she has a very strong personality and extraordinary self-esteem. She has never asked anyone for help before, but this time she was really forced into a desperate situation.

After she finished speaking, she still looked indignant and glared at Liu Ji fiercely, but was afraid that Liu Ji would find out, so she just glared at her once and quickly dodged away.

Hahaha...

I was going to inject it into her anyway, and to hear her say "please"... I was really lucky.

Liu Ji looked at the contract and said, "What plans do you have? Tell me about it."

In fact, he didn't care what Li Yingying's plans were. He didn't even care whether he could make money. The reason why he asked Li Yingying to say it... was just to find an excuse to give him money.

In Liu Ji's opinion...Li Yingying is just like Ji Yu, both of them are fools who talk nonsense.

"Liu Ji, the halberd head cannot be sold."

"Well... why?" Liu Ji slumped in the chair and asked lazily.

"A weapon like the halberd requires long-term training. It takes at least one or two years to master it. And those who can use the halberd are the most common soldiers. They don't have time to train, and they can't afford to buy our halberd heads, so they can only use the worst ones."

The Chinese territory near Zhuo County still implemented the system of the Qin and Han dynasties. Military service was compulsory, and the superiors only provided food when serving in the military. Other weapons and equipment had to be purchased by themselves.

This is still considered good. Other civilizations around us don’t even provide food, so we have to get everything ourselves.

Li Yingying’s halberd head is good, but ordinary soldiers can’t afford it.

To put it bluntly, a weapon like the halberd is... the most shabby thing. Just use this broken piece of stuff to deal with it.

"And then..." Liu Ji continued to complain.

"So, I want to make a crossbow." Yingying took out a palm-sized mechanical component.

Ok?

She explained, "The world is divided now, wars are frequent, and soldiers have no time to train. They have to be called up to fight, and using halberds can only make up the numbers. But crossbows are different. With crossbows, you only need to train for ten days before you can use them."

Liu Ji looked at the parts in her hand and was a little confused. Since ordinary soldiers could not afford a halberd, how could they afford a crossbow?

The crossbow is mainly composed of three parts: the elastic crossbow arm, the crossbow string made of animal and plant fibers, and the crossbow trigger made of metal.

The crossbow mechanism is responsible for charging and firing...it is the most core component of the crossbow. Other components can be made from local materials, only the crossbow mechanism...needs to be carefully crafted.

No matter how you look at it, a crossbow is more expensive than a halberd.

"This is not sold to soldiers, this is sold to lords."

Oh?

"Once this thing is on the battlefield, it will be a deadly weapon. If the lord does not want to lose, he must also equip a sufficient number of crossbows, but crossbows are too expensive... Ordinary soldiers cannot afford them, so the lord has to buy them."

Then?

"Ordinary metal materials are fragile and will take their toll after just a few uses. I spent so much money just to solve this problem."

So, seeing that the halberd heads were not selling well, Yingying wanted to make a crossbow mechanism that could be used for a long time? In the future, both sides would use crossbows to fight each other on the battlefield? She was reselling arms in the middle?

This abacus makes sense.

This fundamentally changed the form of warfare. Now the soldiers were just a group of farmers armed with makeshift weapons, and the fighting would at best be village fights.

But once the crossbow is used on the battlefield... its nature is completely different.

The crossbow completely crushes other weapons. The side equipped with more crossbows will win.

As for the other types of soldiers, they all serve the crossbow. The infantry is used to prevent the crossbowmen from getting too close to them, and they are used for protection. The cavalry is used to pursue the enemy after the crossbowmen have dispersed them.

As for the most core crossbowmen...ordinary people can just train them for a few days.

In other words...as long as you can afford crossbows, you can easily mobilize an army of hundreds of thousands.

And the crossbow...where did it come from?

Of course...it’s from Li Yingying.

Only the crossbow she made can be used for a long time.

Liu Ji looked the little girl up and down. To be honest...she wasn't particularly good-looking, her figure wasn't very good, and her temper was even worse.

The whole person stood there small, as if he would fall down if pushed.

However, it is this person who actually wants to change the form of war in the entire world... and let everyone use her weapons.

It’s not that there are no crossbows now, but the quality of the crossbow machines is very poor. They become scrapped after being used a few times and no one uses them on the battlefield.

If we can really make a crossbow that can be used for a long time... you can imagine what changes will happen on the battlefield.

This little guy is not ordinary...his vision is completely different from others.

Most of the other people were thinking about how to train and how to buy weapons, but she...she could tell at a glance that although the halberd was the most numerous weapon, it was the most useless. If a recruit took a halberd to the battlefield, he was basically asking for death.

The key here is how to put these new recruits to real use...the answer is - crossbow.

To achieve victory, one cannot rely on the halberd, but only on the crossbow.

"She has great ambitions but little talent," Li Sisi added quietly.

ha?

Liu Ji smiled. People who focus on observing the overall situation often don’t have the energy to observe the details... Li Yingying has a big picture view, while Li Sisi pays attention to details.

It’s not surprising that Yingying was tricked by Sisi.

"It's just a waste of money. Another two thousand will be enough!" Yingying gritted her teeth!

That's true. Didn't you see Li Sisi trying her best to hinder us from behind? But Yingying still made the halberd head, just by spending a little more money.

No matter how much Sisi tried to hinder her, she couldn't stop her.

"What if it's not enough?" Liu Ji asked.

Not enough? Yingying was stunned...

She didn't even say anything back this time.

It seems that she also knows... maybe it really is not enough.

"She's not even worth 2000, let alone 4000..." Sisi was making trouble again.

Yingying surprisingly did not refute. It was already good enough to give her two thousand...giving her more would be a bit too much.

Liu Ji shook his head.

Yingying quickly said, "Boss! Are you ready to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? As long as we can build the crossbow... we will definitely make a lot of money in the future."

"Can I trust you?" Liu Ji asked back.

Yingying was about to open her mouth...but then she pulled it back.

She herself didn't trust herself. She had failed three times. Who could she trust for the fourth time? Moreover, although she was sure that she could restore the Qin Crossbow, she couldn't tell how much money it would cost or how long it would take.

Liu Ji said nothing and walked out the door.

"Ying Zheng...you're done. Just wait to give birth to a child for him...and spend the rest of your life revolving around that child." Sisi provoked her madly from behind.

Yingying fell to the ground with her eyes wide open.

She has a sense of the overall situation and talent. She can even grasp the context of the entire world and dominate its direction.

But...she didn't have enough time to pay attention to the details, and Sisi, who was good at details, not only refused to cooperate, but also wanted to cheat her.

"Just give birth to a child. Even if I really give birth to a child, it will definitely be better than yours!" Yingying gave up and prepared for the worst.

"That's not necessarily true." Sisi shook her mountaintop, her meaning was obvious.

Yingying was angry...but there was nothing she could do, because she had been taking anti-growth drugs for a long time...otherwise, she would have grown that big.

Liu Ji is back again.

The two of them quickly straightened themselves up.

The man took out a piece of paper and handed it to Li Yingying, saying, "Here is twenty thousand taels. It's on the carriage outside the door. You can use it."

Yingying was stunned. She didn't even believe in herself, but someone believed in her?

"W-why?"

"Because I believe in you."

Yingying held the paper tremblingly, her face full of disbelief. She thought that Liu Ji's two thousand was a great gift... She never thought that this time he would give her twenty thousand directly?

"Liu Ji, I don't believe in myself." She shouted out what was in her heart.
