Chapter 189: Upheaval (3)

The small town within the safety has begun to level the ground.

Everywhere Chen Shouyi's eyes passed, there were dense workers everywhere.

Many of these workers are pot-bellied, hard-boiled people who have never worked as coolies at first glance, and most of them are refugees who have only recently migrated.

Unemployment has remained high since the change, and only in the new safe zones has the employment rate reached the pre-change level.

In addition to the safety zone, in the entire Hedong City, there are probably only about one or two out of ten people who can find a job, and most of them are unemployed and can only go to the relief station to make a living.

To say that the city government has no money now?

That's definitely rich, quite rich.

Since the bank was unable to operate normally, huge sums of money have piled up in the bank, which has then been kept by the city government. If this money is distributed evenly among the people, I am afraid that each person will get one or two million.

However, no one in power with the slightest sense would do that.

Money is essentially a contract between the owner and the market about the right of exchange, which is basically an agreement between the owners of each other, and if the essence of money is stripped away, money is just a piece of paper, which is worthless except to look beautiful.

In today's situation, the supply of materials in the market is scarce, and once a huge amount of money is evenly distributed to the people, the first thing all the people will do is to buy a large amount of food and other materials, and hoard them like hamsters in winter.

As a result, the market is inflated, currencies depreciate, and prices skyrocket.

Society as a whole will only become more chaotic.

Nowadays, prices can be relatively stable, the market supply is stable, and thanks to the fact that the people do not have much cash in their hands at all, even if they were rich in the past, the cash in their hands plus gold and other hedging goods will not be too much.

Chen Shouyi put the bicycle in the garage and pulled down the iron sliding door.

He carried a heavy arrow bag and walked into the living room, and Chen Xingyue came up curiously:

"Brother, what did you buy?"

"It's nothing, arrows!" Chen Shouyi raised his arrow bag and gestured.

"How much did you buy for such a big bag?" asked Chen Xingyue.

"More than six hundred!"

Chen Xingyue opened her mouth in shock when she heard this, and then immediately hugged Chen Shouyi's arm, and said coquettishly in an unprecedentedly sweet voice: "Brother, you are the best, give me some!"

"Stop, can you give me a good talk, you don't have a bow, what do you want arrows for?" Chen Shouyi got goosebumps when he heard this, and he hurriedly said.

Chen Xingyue blinked, and continued to coquettishly say: "Brother, don't you still have a bow, you don't need it anymore, can you give it to me." ”

Then he added: "You haven't given me a gift since I was a child!"

Chen Shouyi didn't have any embarrassment on his face when he heard this.

It's as if you gave it to me.

He was guilty of slander.

"Okay, okay, isn't it just a broken bow, give it to you!" Chen Shouyi said,

He originally planned to wait for this month's salary to be paid in a few days and buy a female warrior war bow for his sister.

Now seeing that my sister is so frugal and sensible, it is obviously useless.

Due to the natural superiority of men in strength, the standard for female warriors and male warriors is different, with the standard for male warrior-level warbows being 500 pounds, while women only need 400 pounds.

Although five hundred pounds may be a bit heavy for my sister who barely has the physical fitness of a martial artist, but it's not going to actual combat, it's no problem to practice at ordinary times, and if you pull it up a few times at most, your arms will be sore.

"Brother, you're so good!"

Seeing his sister bouncing around his arm with an excited look, Chen Shouyi swallowed the cruel truth he wanted to say.

Forget it, it's still not exciting him, just let her stay in the dark.

After all, as an elder brother, you still have to have the mind and strength of your brother.

"Wait a minute, I'll bring it to you!" Chen Shouyi put down the arrow bag, walked to the bedroom on the second floor, and brought a bow bag.

Chen Xingyue couldn't wait to open the zipper of the bow bag, and it didn't take long for the war bow to be assembled.

This kind of warrior-level war bow has always been durable and adaptable to various battlefield environments, even if Chen Shouyi doesn't have much maintenance at all, it still looks like new.

The more Chen Xingyue looked at it, the more pleased she became, and said excitedly: "What about the arrow, give me an arrow." ”

Looking at his sister who was happy to hunt Xinxi, Chen Shouyi was speechless, took out one from the arrow bag and handed it over, reminding: "You be careful, don't let go, if you shoot on the wall, you will be miserable, and you will definitely be scolded at that time." ”

Chen Xingyue said secretly in her heart when she heard this, every time you have been doing damage at home since you were a child, I don't want to talk about you.

I once played with fire in my room and almost set the house on fire.

But I can only think about this in my heart, and I don't dare to say it at this time, in case her brother listens to it and becomes angry and stingily withdraws the war bow, it will be bad.

She said coquettishly: "Don't worry, I'm not a beginner!"

One of the martial apprentice exams has an archery assessment, and if you talk about it, Chen Xingyue has been learning arrows much longer than Chen Shouyi.

I saw Chen Xingyue use standard techniques to pull the bowstring hard, her white and slender neck, a few green tendons faintly appeared, her face was flushed, and then she slowly let go.

Chen Shouyi estimated that with her strength and physical strength, it was estimated that she could pull six or seven times to reach the limit.

Seeing that she could hold on, Chen Shouyi didn't care about her, counted out fifty ordinary arrows from the quiver, picked up the quiver bag and prepared to go back to the bedroom: "You practice slowly, I'll give you fifty arrows, and if it's not enough, ask me again." ”

"Brother, you're the best, thank you, brother. ”

"I've been using this war bow for quite a short time...... Chen Shouyi said, and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by his sister.

"Brother, don't worry, I know, this is your first war bow, I will definitely take good care of it. ”

Chen Shouyi stood in place, opened his mouth, and swallowed the next sentence of "whatever you want".

......

Chen Shouyi returned to the bedroom, put the arrow bag away, took out an armor-piercing arrow, and groped for the sharp arrow with his fingers.

Armor-piercing arrows are much heavier than ordinary arrows, the density of tungsten is higher than gold, of course, the arrow is not pure tungsten, but tungsten steel, but the density is also twice that of ordinary steel, the whole arrow, there is a pound of weight, streamlined and sharp arrows, the color is dark, the cold light is shining, showing a terrible penetrating ability.

Carrying such a heavy arrow with 800 pounds is estimated to be far more powerful than an anti-materiel sniper rifle at close range, and the armor of military armored vehicles can be easily penetrated.

He couldn't help but want to test it, but when he looked at his surroundings, he tried his best to calm down.

No hurry!

It's better to wait until the evening to try it out.

Chen Shouyi played with it for a while, put the arrow on the desk, and prepared to practice the thirty-six exercises of the body several times before dinner.

However, he had barely made a gesture when the sound of cannon came from a distance again, and he chuckled in his heart and quickly stopped. At first, it was a relatively crisp anti-aircraft gun, and soon it turned into a heavy artillery as dull as thunder.

With a single step, he walked to the window and quickly opened the curtains.

Now his eyesight is quite good, and he can see that in the distant sky, the black smoke formed by the volley of countless anti-aircraft cannons has not completely dissipated, and is suspended in the air like shadows.

After two or three minutes, all the sound of artillery came to an abrupt halt.

But Chen Shouyi not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became more and more uneasy in his heart.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the cannon to sound again, this time more densely and seemingly closer.
