Chapter 70: A Harvest

Shiro hurried back and left in a hurry. With Xiaoliu's comfort, this time Zhou didn't show much concern, but he was a little not in high spirits in the two days that Shiro just left.

Xiaoliu's washing three and the full moon were very lively, not only relatives and friends, but also the village elders were also invited to have a meal. Yun Xiang did not cook in person this time, but waved her hand and invited two chefs in Fumanlou. After this incident, the people in the village took a very high look. And what is surprising is that the old mansion also sent gifts.

The gift has been delivered, but it can't be returned! Yun Xiang smiled, and just recorded the things that he had exchanged with the old mansion alone, and sent back items of equal value.

"What are they doing here?" Zhou hugged Xiaoliu and was a little worried, "Why do I feel uneasy in my heart." ”

"Mother, anyway, we've already returned the gift, so don't think about it." Yun Xiang comforted Zhou for a few words, thinking of the small note that suddenly appeared, her eyes drooped, "Mother, I'll go out." ”

"Come back early!" Zhou instructed while changing Xiaoliu's diaper. Yun Xiang replied crisply, then went out of the door with the basket on his back, and went straight out of Yunshan.

"Come out, I'm coming!" Yun Xiang watched Gu Mo slowly walk into the depths of the cave and took a step back cautiously.

Gu Mo hooked the corners of his lips, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Only now do you know that you are afraid?" ”

"yes, I'm afraid you don't know the Thanksgiving Pictorial." Yun Xiang snorted coldly and stretched out her hand, "Where's my arm crossbow?" ”

Gu Mo took out the arm crossbow, stretched out his hand and stroked it gently, "Your arm crossbow saved my life." ”

"I am the master of the crossbow." Yun Xiang frowned dissatisfiedly, how could he be standing here if he hadn't given him the crossbow and helped him lure away the enemy.

Gu Mo smiled, "Yes, so I owe you my life." What do you want in return? ”

Yun Xiang thought for a while and shook her head, "I can't think of it for the time being, when I encounter difficulties and ask you for help in the future, you can remember to stretch out your hand." ”

Gu Mo raised his eyebrows, this little girl is really different from most people, he nodded, and said, "You made this crossbow yourself?" ”

Yun Xiang immediately knew what he was thinking, "You want drawings?" ”

"One hundred taels of gold." Gu Mo opened his mouth, which was the rhythm of the local tyrant.

Yun Xiang blinked, and wanted to buy a technology patent for a thousand taels of silver? She shook her head, "If this crossbow can be used on the battlefield, the benefits are absolutely immeasurable. ”

"You speak, I need it." Gu Mo is not short of money, money is just a number to him, so he doesn't care.

"Five hundred taels of gold." Yun Xiang knows the significance of weapon improvement to a country, so this price is not a loss at all.

Gu Mo smiled and only said one word, "Okay." ”

Yun Xiang's eyes were crooked with a smile, "For the sake of your answer, I will give you another good thing." Yun Xiang didn't say what it was, and Gu Mo didn't ask. His biggest advantage is that he has a calm temperament and will not lose his sense of proportion because of some trivial things.

But when Gu Mo got the design drawing that Yun Xiang said, he knocked over the teacup in a gaffe. The bed crossbow used in various countries today, also known as the bed crossbow, is developed on the basis of the winch crossbow. It is the combination of two or three bows that greatly enhances the tension and strength of the crossbow. When the crossbow is opened, the crossbow string is connected to the winch with a thick rope, and the soldiers shake the winch, open the crossbow string, and set the giant arrow, and when it is fired, the soldier must slam the trigger with a sledgehammer, and the machine will shoot the arrow into the distance. The firing range is about 300 steps, or about 570 meters.

But the drawing sent by Yunxiang is very different, and it is called 'three-bow bed crossbow'. These three bow bed crossbow is also called "eight bull crossbow", the arrow is made of hard wood as the arrow shaft, the iron piece is the feather, the world is known as "one gun and three sword arrows", the bed crossbow can also be launched "stepping arrow", it is spectacular when launched, the arrow is like a javelin, the close-range launch can be directly nailed into the city wall, when the salvo is fired, the rows of walking arrows are firmly nailed into the city wall, and the siege soldiers can climb up by this. And the range can also reach a distance of 1500 meters, which is simply a weapon for siege.

Gu Mo's breathing calmed down, and it seemed that he owed a great favor again. How does he think that someone is doing it on purpose?

Carefully collected the blueprint of the three-bow bed crossbow, he didn't plan to take out this drawing so simply. The grace of saving lives, coupled with this drawing, has to give the little girl some real benefits.

Yun Xiang didn't have the heart to think about it anymore at the moment, their rice was about to be harvested, and it was nearly three months earlier than other people's rice.

Because about 100 acres of paddy fields are planted with rice, they hired many people to do the work. Naturally, it also attracted a lot of onlookers. In ancient times, when people lived on food, it was impossible to mature so long in advance, and it was really not good to not want to attract attention.

At the final stage of the harvest, even Hu Xianling came over in a horse-drawn carriage. After asking carefully, he found Shang He, who was in charge of the collection, and sent someone to question.

Shang didn't dare to say more, so he asked Old Man Shang to go to his house and call Liu Chengshuang to come. So Liu Chengshuang took Yunxiang and hurried to the ground.

"What's your name? You repeat? A trace of doubt flashed in Hu Xianling's heart.

"Liu Chengshuang, a grass farmer, is a villager from Kanshan Village." Liu Chengshuang knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.

Hu Xianling took a closer look, and it was not the little girl who knelt beside Liu Chengshuang that day! This is really Liu Chengquan's third brother! Didn't Liu Chengquan say that his third brother was paralyzed in bed? The poor family can't open the pot? He almost took the eldest girl of their family as a concubine.

But Liu Cheng's legs and feet in front of him are fundamentally good, not only does this more than 100 acres of high-grade paddy fields belong to him, but also rice that can mature three months in advance is planted in this paddy field.

Before Hu County's order could speak, he heard a report from his subordinates, "The Lord of the Zhenfu and the Lord of the Prefect are here." ”

Hu Xianling didn't dare to sit anymore, and immediately stood up and greeted him. And he commanded all the subordinate officials of the county government to line up to meet him.

Because the incident was very sudden, Hu Xianling did not have time to let Liu Chengshuang's father and daughter get up. So when Gu Mo came, he saw Yunxiang's father and daughter kneeling on the ground. His face was gloomy, and he smiled at Hu Xianling, "Hu Xianling is really a big official." ”

Governor Lin also frowned, although he had not publicly told others about the master-apprentice relationship with Liu Jiashiro, he had already taken him under his wing. This Hu County order made the family of Lin Governor's beloved disciple kneel on the ground all the time, which was really excessive.
