Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Yun Family

Dai Yu looked at the qi in front of him, this is a scene that he has not seen in ten years by King Wu's side. As a subordinate, he actually dared to laugh and play in front of the Hou Ye. The guy who was teased by Xiaobai was actually looking for a blade to deal with Hou Ye's favorite leopard. If it is placed in the country of Wu, even if the leopard that King Wu likes eats you, no one will dare to resist.

Wei Dongbao has already taken his brother's family back, and all arranged it on the Yan family's Zhuangzi. The Yan family's Zhuang knew that he would not be bullied, and the Hou Ye also reissued the land. If you have children at home, you can also read and write with the Yan family. It's a great thing to be able to read these days, and there hasn't been a single person who can read in the three generations of the martial arts family, so he thought that Dai Yu's brother was worth selling his life to the Yun family.

What's more, because of the shelter of the clouds. None of their family members have been beaten into the untouchables, and I heard that the families of those robes have been beaten into the untouchables, and their lives are miserable. The female relatives of the family will be called by the official family from time to time, and I heard that many people have been hanged.

When Wei Dongbao went back, it happened that the official family wanted to recruit his sister-in-law. As a result, Wei Dongbao took his brother into the yamen and discounted the leg of the superintendent. Flashed the waist card of the Marquis of Liangyun Mansion and walked away, and the case was reported to Chang'an, and it was pressed down without even a bubble. However, the school's roster has more grandchildren from Dali Masa.

All the families are sharpening their heads and sending their best children to school, who will offend Yunhou for a leg of the post supervisor at this time. is that the saliva system is highly developed on weekdays, and there is no movement at all for the officials who see and listen to the eight directions. After all, the new imperial historian Liu She also has a grandson.

Rubbing his wrists, Dai Yu picked up the riding gun again.

"You can't practice anymore, if you practice like this, your hands will be useless."

Zi Feng persuaded on the side, but for some reason Zi Feng always had an abnormal relationship with Dai Yu. Almost everyone can see it, could it be that this girl has moved her heart?

"Master Hou is going on an expedition, and he will definitely need me and wait. If you don't hurry up and train, you will drag everyone down when you fight. ”

"Forget it, don't practice yet. This is a scarecrow, if it were a real person, my wrist would have been broken a long time ago. You should first practice the iron-tired crossbow, and you must at least reach the point of hitting the target at 500 steps. As for gun riding, wait for your wrist to recover a bit. I don't want to have an extra bandaged guy in the team before I go on the expedition. ”

Yun Xiao walked in front of Dai Yu and his men with his hands behind his back. Seeing that Dai Yu and his subordinates all had unnatural expressions, they understood. If a martial artist cannot be recognized by the head of the family in martial arts, then their status will be greatly affected. I have seen the magic shot of the goshawk and the fury of the bear. After the power of the brute bull, they no longer had the pride of the Jing Chu swordsman.

At first, he was angry that he was captured in the middle of the ambush, but now he knows that even if the two armies are facing each other, he and others are not opponents. Not to mention the extra-long cavalry spear, the Damascus-style scimitars used by the Huns can easily cut the long sword in their hands.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

The country of Wu is rich in salt and iron, but the Yun family's smelting skills have never been seen before. The scimitars they created had snowflake-like moire, and their sharp and hard edges could cut more than a hundred copper coins without damage. Now the blades in their hands are no longer long swords, but sabers that are more suitable for chopping. Taking advantage of the horse's galloping inertia, they can cut the scarecrow in two with a random wave of their hand.

I can't imagine how much damage such a blade would inflict on the infantry. No wonder on the banks of the Yellow River, the 5,000-step cavalry of the pheasant will be defeated so miserably.

"Don't overthink it, I'll tell Batu to train you. Only those who have the ability here can eat and drink well, and see the target five hundred paces away? If you are in the middle of all three arrows, you can drink wine and eat meat. If you don't hit it all, you can only nibble on steamed buns and eat pickles. If you don't want to eat pickles, then practice well. I will let Batu supervise you, remember that the Huns will not do anything else, and if you make a mistake they will only talk with a whip.

If you don't want to be beaten, you just do what he says, and he's been through the same thing. So, don't complain. ”

After Yun Xiao finished speaking, he left with the goshawk and the bear, and the vicious Batu immediately ordered someone to hand the iron tire crossbow to Dai Yu, who was dazed.

Training is in full swing in the racecourse, and the blacksmith shop by the river is also busy. I didn't expect to go on the expedition so soon, and the sledgehammer was quenching a palm-sized piece of fish scale armor. Seeing Yun Xiao coming in, he picked up a piece of fish scale armor in his hand and walked over.

"Master Hou, what you said is really right. Quenching with vinegar does make the nail pieces harder. After saying that, he picked up an unfinished saber next to him, and slashed it according to the armor. Sparks flew everywhere, leaving only a shallow knife mark on the armor. It was neither shattered nor cut through, in the hands of the sledgehammer, which had been striking iron for many years. It is not easy to carry this knife.

Yun Xiao picked up this piece of armor and looked at it, and if he looked closely, he could still find some subtle cracks. It seems that acetic acid increases the hardness of the nail piece, but it also increases its brittleness. If you are hit with a blunt object, the nail plate will be shattered. However, the main function of these armor pieces is to protect against enemy bolts, not to defend against enemy slashes.

Rather than swords, Yun Xiao prefers to use crossbow arrows to solve problems.

"How many pounds does such a suit of armor weigh?"

Yun Xiao asked, looking at the armor.

"Even the helmet, it's probably more than thirty pounds and less than forty pounds."

It's still a bit heavy, the cavalry weighs forty pounds more, and the consumption of horses is also amazing.

"Can you still lose some weight?"

"With vinegar quenching, it adds some hardness. In this way, you can reduce some of the thickness, and it is estimated that there is no problem in reducing the thickness to thirty catties. If you reduce the protection again, you won't be able to, and even the crossbow arrows won't be able to stop it. ”

Sledgehammer said after a moment's reckoning.

"Then reduce it to thirty catties, and it is good to reduce the weight of the cavalry by one tael. The most important thing for cavalry is mobility, and the most important thing for the armor on the body is to protect against crossbow attacks. ”

"No, I'll leave it to someone."

Picked up a saber and tried the blade, took the copper coins handed by the goshawk, and stacked them together. Swing the knife and chop down, and the copper coin is slipped in half. Take a look at the blade, there's not a trace of loss. Yun Xiao nodded with satisfaction, he didn't believe that in this era, there was a better hand-to-hand combat blade than a pure steel saber. Even if it is the Yue King Goujian Sword, it is estimated that it is at this level. However, Yun Xiao didn't think that thing would equip Xiang Sanqiu's army on a large scale. If it's a good guess, they're still using inferior iron swords from garbage.

The green wheat rolled wave after wave, as if it were a sea of green. The farmers were doing farm work under the scorching sun above their heads, and the news of the owner's imminent expedition had little effect on them. The people who have been digging in the soil for generations are not suitable for going out to fight, and they didn't see the young offspring who went out last time and were sent back by the Hou Ye halfway. Zhuanghu, just take care of the land. I didn't hear Mr. Yan say that he was content with poverty and was happy. Farming is the way of farmers, and besides, there is a Hou Ye in whom's house is not poor now.

Many small traders left Xianyang and rented shops on Yunjiazhuangzi to start trading. Many mule and horse merchants in Xianyang, Chang'an also often visit Yunjia Zhuangzi, and the mule and horse market not far from Zhuangzikou is often full of people. For a Hun foal, he pulled his neck and shouted loudly.

The Yun family's approach to doing business is different from others, and the newly appointed housekeeper Wei Dongbao has abandoned the tradition of bargaining in his sleeve. It was changed to a more efficient auction, and Wei Dongdao on the high platform carried a small wooden mallet in his hand.

"Hun horses, full-term foals. The reserve price is 80 yuan, and the price is increased by 5 yuan each time......"

Although he still has some Jiangnan accent in his mouth, no one dares to laugh at him. I heard that the newly appointed housekeeper was very fierce, and he discounted the legs of the superintendent in Jiangnan.

Capital has had the characteristics of profit-seeking since the day he came into this world, and it is not surprising that the wealthy Yun family Zhuangzi can attract the attention of businessmen. The Yun family's wine, food, paper, and even fat sheep and horses. These are the things that attract them, and Yun Xiao believes that with the arrival of the merchants. Your fiefdom will be more prosperous, and your hands will cramp just by collecting taxes.

After watching the auction in the mule and horse market, it was true that a foal that he didn't want was sold for a hundred yuan. The Huns were born to be horse wranglers, and the half-grown sons of the Huns waited on these horses very well. In a few days, the batch of mares that Liu Cheng bought should also arrive, hoping that these Huns can help them breed horses as good as those on the grassland.

The school has come to the school again, and the school is now in a state of semi-suspension. The craftsmen and supervisors had not yet arrived, and the fisherman was directing the workers on the pasture to build a four-wheeled carriage, and Yunxiao needed at least 200 such things. It's a lot of work, and thankfully there are many wagons from the past that can be modified. Otherwise, it's almost an impossible task.

I turned around and returned to my home, but fortunately, all the qiē was going on smoothly. Walking into the courtyard of the tiger, where the three injured women now live. Canghu entered the courtyard with a cloud of clouds, hurriedly closed the courtyard door, and guarded the courtyard gate himself.

The two sisters, Luzhu and Lurui, and Le Niang saw Yun Xiao coming in, and hurriedly got up and bowed to the ground.

"Thank you, Master Hou took you in. The three of us are willing to serve as slaves and maids. ”

The older Le Niang spoke first.

"Green beads, green stamen, you go out. I have something to say to Le Niang. ”

The two sisters glanced at Le Niang very resentfully, and then went out and closed the door.

"You have done a good job of Lao Yu, I heard Canghu say that you are always not at ease. Put your heart in your belly, I am not the one who unloads the mill and kills the donkey. If you want to stay in the Yun family, the Yun family will support you for a lifetime. If you want to get married, the Yun family will also help you find a good family. Whatever you want, tell me. I'm not here, you can find Canghu if you have something, and he will help you solve it. ”

"Master Hou, the slave is a homeless person. I was sold by my mother when I was four years old, and I can't remember where my home is. The Yun family is my home, I won't go anywhere, I beg the Hou Ye to take it in. ”

"Hmm," a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Yun Xiao's mouth.
