Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 241 What do you want?

Behind the stands, Emperor Xuan's gaze suddenly became as sharp as a knife. He grabbed the left prime minister's arm and said, "This bow and arrow is good."

The Left Prime Minister nodded calmly. Lord Xu kept it a secret and didn't reveal at all that this was what the school would teach.

With Lord Xu's loudmouthed personality, it's really not easy for him to keep it to himself until now.

The eyes of the Minister of Works suddenly bulged out of his sockets. He looked at the feather arrow on the courtyard wall, then at Xu Jinyu's hand, and finally he simply pinched Xu Jinyu's arm.

It's soft and has no muscles at all. It doesn't look like it can draw a strong bow.

You know, after shooting the last arrow, the Minister of Works also needed to rest before he could shoot the second arrow. After all, he was old and had neglected exercise.

"What's the range of your bow?"

Xu Jinyu tilted his head and converted the measurement units: "The range is 30 to 100 feet."

The Minister of War took a deep breath. This range was longer than the strongest bow of the grassland people outside Beilang Pass. The grassland people's longest range was probably thirty feet at most.

The bow and arrow in Xu Jinyu's hand actually has a starting range of 30 feet.

"How much effort did you put in?"

Xu Jinyu raised his arms and shook them: "Do you think I'm exerting force?"

Then he emphasized to the students below: "This is the power of technology."

"Ah~~~"

There was another boiling scream below.

The Minister of War didn't care about technology or not, he only knew that if the defenders of Beilang Pass were equipped with this bow, those cavalrymen would never be able to reach Beilang Pass.

This item can ensure eternal peace for Daqian.

The Minister of War excitedly grabbed Xu Jinyu's shoulders: "Master Xu...Master Xu..."

Xu Jinyu knew what he was excited about and rolled his eyes: "You can't afford it, and you can't make it. If you want it, you should train these students well. Maybe a genius will emerge and let you see this compound bow in ten or eight years."

But the Minister of War just grabbed Xu Jinyu's arm and wouldn't let go. Xu Jinyu had no choice but to whisper to Princess Changle: "Send the letter first."

Princess Changle nodded, and soon a group of people came carrying freshly printed books to distribute to the students.

Zhang Youning was holding the book in her hand with great excitement. She gently opened a page, and the next moment she was stunned.

She only knew half of the things in the book. After all, she had studied hard with her father, a scholar, so what about these complicated things?

No wonder my father is just a scholar, he still has a lot to learn.

If Zhang Youning's father, a scholar, knew what his daughter was thinking, he would be unjustly killed.

Zhang Youning looked up and saw Liu Qingyun from the same village happily opening the book and reading page by page.

"It turns out that learning medicine also requires us to learn to read. I never thought that one day I would be able to read and write. Thank you, Princess Taian."

Zhang Youning tilted her head and glanced at Liu Qingyun's book. Just like her own book, she only knew half of it at most.

What are these? He then grabbed the sleeve of a lady next to him and said, "Miss, do you recognize all the words in this book?"

The young lady raised her head, looking bewildered: "I don't know him either. Have I wasted all these years studying?"

Not only was she confused, she even had tears in her eyes.

How can I learn if I can't even recognize all the characters?

Could it be that she also wants to learn from her brother and study by candlelight every day, losing her hair in clumps due to worry?

No, she wants to get married!

How can you get married if you are bald?

Xu Jinyu followed the Minister of War, holding his wrist, but his eyes were fixed on the distinct figures of the students standing below, revealing his big white teeth.

The backgrounds of these students were so different that they couldn't even stand in line properly. In just a short while, Xu Jinyu had seen many young ladies from wealthy families rolling their eyes at those girls from poor families.

Rolling your eyes is still considered polite, but some people have expressions as if they have seen something dirty, which makes these girls from humble backgrounds very timid.

This won't work. Xu Jinyu still hopes that they will work closely together, one using the brain and the other using the strength, to help her research things.

At this time, the ultimate weapon of Chinese college students is needed - military training.

Xu Jinyu had just announced the military training with gritted teeth, and before he had time to see the students' reactions, he was pulled behind the podium by the Minister of War.

Emperor Xuan was sitting on a chair behind the stage, looking at Xu Jinyu with a serious face.

The voice was even more serious: "Xu Jinyu, how many bows can you take out of that one?"

Seeing Emperor Xuan's serious expression, Xu Jinyu also answered politely: "I can't give much, at most I can give one more."

I was muttering in my heart,

[Because the technology is so much better than the current one, even if you empty your treasury, you can't buy many bows with 50,000 taels of silver. Moreover, the sales are limited. What effect can three or five bows have on the battlefield? It is better to develop industry quickly with this money, make yourself stronger, and strive to make such a compound bow. ]

[Now that we have the technology, we can have as much as we want. It would be great if we could research thermal weapons. Then the wolf riders at Beilangguan will become good at singing and dancing, and will pull their horses to dance for you. Those who don't dance well enough will not be allowed to go on stage, and those who don't look good enough will not be allowed to go on stage.]

Fifty thousand taels of silver.

Emperor Xuan couldn't help grinning. He really couldn't afford it, but he was drooling over it. He snatched the compound bow from Xu Jinyu's hand and touched it lovingly.

Xu Jinyu didn't dare to say anything, but the voice in his heart was deafening.

[Fifty thousand taels of silver, my fifty thousand taels of silver. I wanted to keep this bow and arrow as a souvenir, but the dog emperor wants to take it for free.]

The officials standing behind Emperor Xuan all looked at the Khan.

In the entire Daqian, he is the only one who dares to scold the emperor so openly.

On the other hand, Emperor Xuan was as steady as a rock while holding the composite bow, and he could even roll his eyes.

After more than half a year of torture and being called a dog emperor every day, he has long been accustomed to it. But Xu Jinyu, since you cursed me, you will have to give me less silver.

"Eunuch Liu, take thirty thousand taels of silver from the inner treasury for Lord Xu later."

Xu Jinyu moved the corners of his mouth, wanting to say it was not enough, but he didn't dare.

[Fifty thousand taels! Fifty thousand taels, it's too little. I'll lose a lot.]

Emperor Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled in relief.

After laughing, Emperor Xuan's face became serious again: "Lord Xu, can you recruit men to this school? Daqian may not have many things, but there are many smart men. As long as you put them in this school, they can learn a lot."

Knowing that this would happen, Xu Jinyu asked Emperor Xuan with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, what is the name of my school?"

Emperor Xuan was puzzled: "Women's Vocational and Technical College."

Then he understood and said with a fierce face: "This is unfair to the men of Daqian."

Xu Jinyu also said with a cold face: "There are so many unfair things in this world. Men can be officials, but women cannot. Men can sell their wives, but wives cannot sell their husbands."

"A husband who kills his wife will be punished with a beating, but a wife who kills her husband is an unforgivable crime."

When it comes to this, Emperor Xuan said embarrassedly: "Hasn't this been changed? It's the same crime as a husband killing his wife."

At this moment, Xu Jinyu became serious: "But it's not an unforgivable crime."

"Also, women are not allowed to have private property. If a family does not have a son, the property would rather be given to the sons or nephews or unrelated people, rather than to the daughters."

"Men have three wives and four concubines and live a carefree life, while women are even accused of being promiscuous for exposing their arms..."

There were too many injustices against women in this ancient world. If Xu Jinyu were asked to talk about it, she could talk for a whole day and night.

"There are too many injustices in this world. Why do you say that opening a women's college is unfair to men?"

The civil and military officials were now too afraid to even breathe. They stood quietly behind Emperor Xuan, watching the tit-for-tat confrontation between the emperor and his minister.

"What do you want?"

Emperor Xuan asked in a deep voice.

It is impossible to make women and men completely equal in this world. If he dares to give this order, someone will dare to rebel against him as the emperor.

However, Emperor Xuan could not let go of the science that Xu Jinyu talked about, especially going to heaven. This was of great appeal to an emperor. He wanted to see whether there were the gods in heaven that his father had been pursuing all his life.

I also want to see what kind of land my ancestors lived on.

What's more, there are explosives and compound bows hanging in front.
