Yun Mo and Zhang Ying walked into the open-top thatched hut amid the shouts of everyone, and a woman in charge of the spoon hurriedly brought Yun Mo and Zhang Ying two bowls of food.

Yun Mo's bowl was full of meat, with only a few wild vegetables, while Zhang Ying's bowl was full of wild vegetables, and there were three pieces of rabbit meat on top of the wild vegetables.

What's going on? Why is his bowl full of meat, and Zhang Ying, the former leader, only has three small pieces of meat, Yun Mo looked at the cook in charge a little angrily, and asked coldly:

"Why is my bowl full of meat and Yingzi's bowl full of wild vegetables, what is the reason?"

Under Yun Mo's forced gaze, the half-old cook lady was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak, and Zhang Ying immediately explained in a low voice:

"Brother Li, please calm your anger, this is the rule of our clan, men fight in all directions, the best food is first given to them, and the rest are us women, this tradition has been hundreds of years."

What's going on! There are also such rules on the grassland, but Yun Mo is still very uncomfortable, he wants to give the meat in his bowl to Zhang Ying, but Zhang Ying ran away with his bowl, Yun Mo went to the middle of the child with the meat bowl, and the child hid with their mother with the bowl.

Even children know that the young and strong men in the tribe should be fed and fed, and it seems that this rule has been imprinted in the depths of their hearts. What could Yun Mo do, he could only hang his head and find a big stone to sit down and eat meat.

Yun Mo, who had finished eating the meat, stood in the open space and shouted:

"Hunters come forward."

The women who were chatting after eating were stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, and seven or eight adult women came out of the crowd one after another, including Zhang Ying, the former leader.

"Yingzi, you arrange other people to do the matter of quarrying stone and salt, from today onwards, you will take a few of them to slaughter all the beasts in this grape ditch, and make dried meat if you can't finish eating, we can't let these beasts come out to scourge the crops, as for the food for the winter, you don't have to worry, I already have a solution."

Others eat wild vegetables, only they can eat meat in a big bowl, and no one will be in a good mood, and Yun Mo is the same. Yun Mo didn't have time to sulk, he took the crossbow off his back, and then began to remove the crossbow machine.

The crossbow machine of the modern crossbow is similar to the crossbow machine of the ancient crossbow, which is composed of four parts, namely the crossbow machine box, the lookout mountain, the hook heart, and the trigger.

The biggest difference between modern crossbows and ancient crossbows is the spring, because there is a spring in the modern crossbow, so it can be reset automatically, and if there is no spring, it can only be reset manually. Yunmo does not have good steel, and he can't make qualified springs, so he can only choose manual reset, but the difficulty of imitation has dropped by several grades.

"Uncle Chen, come here."

"Here we are, please give the chief's orders."

"Uncle Chen, this is a crossbow machine, this is an eccentric wheel, from today onwards, try your best to imitate it, and melt those swords you have hidden without steel! Three days later I need a hundred crossbows, a hundred pairs of eccentric wheels. ”

"Chief, we don't lack good steel, but I'm afraid there is not enough manpower!"

Yun Mo finally found a little bit of the feeling of being a leader, and he waved his hand magnificently:

"Then twenty people are being drawn from the farming team."

"Nacheng, after three days, I promise to hand over to the leader a hundred crossbows and a hundred pairs of eccentric wheels."

"I'm sorry to trouble Uncle Chen."

"This is a matter within the responsibility of the little old man, and the leader is polite."

After arranging it, Yun Mo shouted at Zhang Ying in the distance:

"Yingzi, call a few clever people, and I'll teach you how to make salt."

"Here ......

Zhang Ying and the others brought back several truckloads of stone salt mines were all stacked by the stream, and next to them were placed the wooden barrels, charcoal, cotton cloth and other things that Yun Mo needed.

"First crush the salt with a stone mill...... After pouring it into a barrel......"

Yun Mo said while demonstrating to Zhang Ying and more than a dozen of them, just a few steps, as long as they are not fools, they can all learn, the dozen or so women selected by Zhang Ying are all ingenious people, so they learn quickly and do well.

Beautiful flowers cannot be cultivated on desolate land, arid deserts cannot give birth to vibrant oases, gorgeous peonies do not bloom on barren land, plain willows do not sprout in dry soil, and a good foundation is needed to build a building, so does life need a good start?

Yun Mo had a good start here, and when a pot of cyan salt was boiled out, Zhang Ying and a dozen women cried profusely. This is the green salt that only nobles can afford, and this is also their hope for the future.

Dozens of old and weak women and children in the village, after hearing the cries and laughter from the salt factory, also ran to see what was going on, and after they tasted the green salt in the pot themselves, they also cried and laughed:

"We've made green salt, we've made green salt!"

"Thank you, Chief, for your ......"

Harvest, a shining word, it always reminds people of fruitful autumn, full of golden yellow and fiery red, everywhere revealing the joy of harvest, what is the harvest?

Harvest makes you feel that life is so colorful.

When you are sad, please believe that any hard work will pay off, and you will no longer be afraid of loneliness.

When you are bored, please believe that any hard work will pay off, and you will no longer worry about the dull.

When you encounter setbacks, please believe that any hard work will pay off, and you will no longer be afraid of failure.

In times of pain, believe that any hard work will be rewarded, and you will no longer resist sorrow.

The harvest of green salt made the more than 100 old and weak women and children who were left in the remnants of the Tang Anxi Army not afraid, not afraid, not worried.

Yes, Qingyan gave them hope and courage, and gave them endless desire for a better life in the future, and of course, this was also the most solid step Yun Mo took after crossing over to the Western Regions.

Everyone was crying with joy, although they were poorly clothed and hungry, they still couldn't stop the joy that came like a tide, and Yun Mo's tears couldn't help but burst into tears.

After a long time, after they finished smiling bitterly, Yun Mo beckoned Sister-in-law Qing and other ten carpenters to go to the carpentry workshop, which was actually a slightly larger broken thatched house, and a lot of broken birch strips had been piled up.

"Sisters, from today onwards, you will teach you how to make crossbows."

Yun Mo began to imitate modern crossbows, first using a carpenter's planer to cut out a one-meter-long log strip, requiring the middle to be large and the two ends small, which were used as slave arms, and then the crossbow handle, which was similar to the wooden support of an honest rifle.

The process of making the crossbow handle is not too difficult, first put Yun Mo's crossbow handle on a thick wooden board, then use charcoal strips to draw the outline, then open the bill, and finally stick the crossbow arm on the crossbow handle.

It took Yun Mo half an hour to imitate the wooden part of a crossbow, and the last step was to test the tensile force.

[Ask the brothers to collect and recommend this book, thank you for the falling leaves.] 】

Attach the crossbow arm to the wall, then hang the weight on the bowstring until the bow arm is fully pulled into the firing position, and then weigh the weight with a scale.

(It takes three years to make a compound bow, that's because the compound bow needs to be dried while making it, Yun Mona has that time to make a compound bow, and directly put it on a more powerful crossbow, the material has been dried, and it can be used when it is made.) ）
