After the battle, Li Xin asked people to take back the arrows he shot out, mainly to recover the arrows, which were all stainless steel arrows made by him in the blacksmith shop, hard and sharp, and it should be no problem to break through the heavy armor in fifty steps.

Li Xin took out an arrow and introduced: "Make a small groove about the thickness of the bowstring at the end of the arrow shaft, so that you don't need to hold the arrow shaft with the tiger's mouth when shooting arrows." ”

Several people took turns looking at the shaft of the arrow, all nodding their heads, thinking that this method was good. But it's just a look, it's okay if it's just for personal use, if it's a large-scale production, this process will cost a lot of time and money, or continue to use the tiger's mouth to clamp the arrow shaft, there is no need to improve.

Li Xin put the arrows into the quiver, and then raised his right hand and put a barrel-shaped wrench on the upturned thumb, which was very different from the traditional slope-shaped wrench. It was smooth, with no holes for the rope to be fastened to the wrists, and no grooves for hooking the bowstring, just so smooth, a simple cylindrical shape.

"Toyo's wrench?" A frontier soldier asked in surprise. When he spoke, there was something wrong with Li Xin's eyes.

Li Xin smiled indifferently and said, "No matter who it is, as long as it is easy to use, just take it and use it." Look at how simple this is, as soon as you hook it back with your thumb, the flange below will become a straight angle, hooking the bowstring; With a lift of the finger, the bowstring can be cast quickly. He explained as he demonstrated to a few people.

"Won't this get off?"

"What if I get taken out by the bowstring?"

Several people asked questions.

Li Xin explained: "The front is a concave edge, and the thumb can be stuck with a button. Of course, everyone has to make a wrench according to their own finger situation, just a little thicker than a finger. In short, it's a bit simpler than a wrench. ”

Several people took the wrench and passed it around, trying to write down the structure, and then they made one of their own.

They soon came to Zhaohugang and joined the five border soldiers who had stayed. Of course, they can't go to Qiligang immediately, they must first have a full meal, and then they have a detailed understanding of the terrain and defense of Qiligang.

In fact, there is nothing to know about Qiligang, which is just a temporary small village built by the local villagers after the rise of the thieves in a high place. However, because there were so many apportionments over the years, the people either fled or went with the thieves, and everything there became desolate.

Li Xin looked at the homeless people who were eating vegetable leaf porridge and asked loudly, "Do you want to follow us?" ”

"Snoring", "purring" The sound of drinking porridge came and went, and no one paid attention to Li Xin's question.

Li Mu felt unhappy, and stepped forward and shouted: "Answer the question first!" Otherwise, kill your head! ”

This really worked, all the homeless people obediently put down the porridge and looked up at Li Xin.

Li Xin asked what he had just said again, and one of the middle-aged men looked at the fierce Li Mu first, and then nodded and sneered: "Yes, willing." ”

Li Xin didn't care whether they were sincere or fake, he just nodded and ordered, "Come with us to Qiligang in a while!" ”

Li Mu followed Li Xin away, and asked in a low voice in the distance: "Fourth brother, these guys are unreliable." After entering Qiligang, they put their families in the old camp, and the grain was searched out and distributed uniformly, and they were honest. ”

"A group of peasants who just want not to starve, how can they be reliable?" Li Xin said casually: "It's better to let them go to farming, that's what they want." ”

Li Mu said dissatisfiedly: "You are doing this, we don't even have the strength to run away, they have land, and they still have a fart?!" Just a few of us, all the waste in the city can be used to kill us! ”

"How do you speak?!" Li Zhong appeared behind the two of them and scolded, "Where is the system?!" ”

Li Mu said unconvinced: "This is not the ancestral hall of the family, we are rebelling!" ”

Li Zhong frowned and said, "That can't be without decency!" ”

"Second brother," Li Mou explained, "you have never rebelled, and you don't know what to do about this." I have experience in this matter, and this matter can't be talked about in a big or small way. ”

Li Zhong actually didn't know the bottom in his heart, he looked at Li Xin, and wanted the three brothers to discuss a leader now, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble in the future.

Li Xin still said lightly: "From now on, I will supply the grain." Let's go for a year, if it doesn't work, let's still follow Brother Mu's approach, how about it? ”

"Second brother," Li Mu said sincerely, "I don't want to be a leader, I'm thinking about our brother's net worth and life." Second brother, you are good at studying, and your kung fu is better than mine, if it is in the peaceful years, maybe you will be the master of Jinshi, and maybe you can enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister. But now are troubled times! ”

"A year is fast." Li Xin still did not let go.

Li Mu thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Let's take it for a year, if the second brother's method doesn't work, the younger brother will take care of it." ”

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" Li Zhong immediately opened his mouth and settled the matter. It's not that Li Xin is his own brother - although he has passed away, he is still a brother. It's that he also thinks that the way of direct coercion is unsightly, and there is nothing wrong with trying other ways.

By the time they returned to the homeless people, they had already finished their porridge and were still staring at the leftovers in the cauldron. But there were two men who were eating barbecue and guarded, and they didn't dare to move, they only dared to watch.

"Departing in a quarter of an hour! Go to Qiligang. Li Xin stood in front of them and said loudly, "Is there anyone willing to cooperate?" ”

Everyone was silent, and finally the middle-aged man stood up and said pitifully, "Good man, can you give us some more porridge?" ”

"That's for those who want to work with us!" Li Xin did not budge.

At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, and several young people stood up and scrambled to shout: "I cooperate, I will lead the way." ”

Li Xin looked at the young people, then at the middle-aged man, and asked, "Do you think they can do it?" ”

The middle-aged man was helpless, and arched his hand and said: "Good man, I'll cooperate with you, those good men in Qiligang all know me." Please give some more porridge to everyone, everyone used to have one meal a day, and they were very hungry. ”

"Do you have any comments?" Li Xin asked the young men who stood up again.

Although the young people looked at the porridge in the pot and the roasted meat and kept swallowing saliva, they all nodded and sat down slowly.

"Serve them food!" Li Xin waved his hand and ordered.

Those border soldiers all looked at Li Mu, and Li Mu roared angrily: "This is my fourth brother!" From now on, he will be in charge here! Obey his commands! If someone makes fun of Joe, don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood! ”

The border soldiers didn't say much, and immediately began to move, letting those homeless people line up to eat.
