Chapter 045: Division

This drinking ceremony is all simple, otherwise if Shu Hui and the others sit in the hall that does not exist at all, there will be three layers of mats on the ground.

Fortunately, there are probably not so many seats prepared for this state school, otherwise Shu Hui would have to think of a high-sounding reason to resign - there is no way to refuse, he doesn't understand, and he doesn't want to learn.

The banquet ended in the ancient movement "Summer", and after the joy, Liu Tingshi sent off the guests, and the drinking ceremony of the whole township was completed.

It was also close to noon, so it was considered lunch. Guests such as Shu Hui and others were invited into the pavilions to socialize and talk, and on the field, officials and students removed the arrangement of the drinking ceremony, put the arrow targets and wine vessels used in the salute on the table, and marked the step line scale with lime.

The distance between the target and the target is about 70 meters, and it is 30 zhang per week. Although the bow and arrow are more sophisticated now, they still follow the old system, because it is extremely difficult for scholars to be able to hit the target at 70 meters, and if the arrow target is moved to Tang Zhang's 30 meters, that is, more than 90 meters away......

There is no need to compare, it is estimated that few people can drink this wine.

The shooting salute was planned to be held half an hour later, and Shu Hui thanked Liu Tingshi's invitation to the tea party and took Ao Guang and the others to watch the decoration of the shooting salute. I don't know what Cheng Huaimo is thinking, it seems that Shu Huizhen took him as a junior brother, and he didn't dare to leave his post without permission.

Regarding archery, Shu Hui is very interested. For later generations, sports such as shooting, archery, horseback riding, and golf required large venues, and were money-burning games that only the rich could play.

Shu Hui has only played in some parks a few times, and he boasts that he has good archery skills, but the recreational shooting range is too small, less than twenty meters deep, and it is not interesting at all.

He ran around to look around, although he didn't disrupt other people's arrangements, but it was also very eye-catching, but those who were miscellaneous dared not speak out against him. And Shu Hui got those bows and arrows and asked Ao Guang without opening his mouth, an expert, and only saw Shu Hui around, every time he looked at an item, Ao Guang answered Shu Hui's possible doubts as if he had a heart, and the tacit understanding was incomparable.

Even Hongyu didn't know whether Shu Hui took the initiative to ask, and his face was inexplicable, and the audience became a monologue by Ao Guang alone. In fact, Shu Hui's teeth are still fine now, but the words have been said just now, but it is not good to slap himself in the face and say: "Wait until I finish this sentence and start practicing closed-mouth meditation again." โ€

"There are four main types of military bows and arrows: one is a longbow, two is a horn bow, three is a slight bow, and four is a grid bow."

"The longbow is infantry equipment, made of mulberry wood or Zhe [zhรจ] wood, and the material is not good to make up, so it is called a longbow, and it is cheap."

"The horn bow is a cavalry equipment, a composite bow made of birch reinforced with horns and tendons, and the bow tire is often recurved in order to improve the stamina; The Slightly Bow is a trumpet, horned bow, which is used by the forbidden army or by the nobles when hunting and playing; The checkered bow is a ceremonial instrument decorated with ivory ribbons. โ€

The horn bow is undoubtedly the pinnacle of weapons in the Sui and Tang dynasties, relying on the horn pieces compounded with the bow tire to enhance the toughness of the bow abyss, so that the smaller opening length of the bow can accumulate stronger strength. According to Ao Guang, the bow power of the one-meter-two-long tendon bow used for archery in front of Shu Hui is one stone and two, that is, a weight of one stone and two stones can be hung on the bowstring, and the distance between the bowstring is less than one arrow.

One stone and two are equivalent to about one hundred and thirty catties in later generations. Shu Hui asked the system to calculate, a bow force of one hundred and thirty catties...... Well, the force of the bow was not uniform during firing, and he couldn't figure out for a moment how small an arrow could shoot through his dark shelter.

"There are many kinds of arrows for military formations due to different uses, such as triangular shapes, mugwort leaf shapes, crescent moon shapes, conical shapes, etc. In order to enhance the balance, the arrow collar is also extended about four inches behind the arrow shaft, which is inserted into the arrow shaft for fixation. Nowadays, copper and iron are difficult to refine, and the arrow shaft can be replaced from time to time, but the arrow shaft is recycled and reused as much as possible. โ€

"Of course, these lethal weapons are not used in the salute, but generally use lightweight ashless ash barrels, with more decorative brocade tail arrow feathers, just to allow these scholars to shoot farther. As for penetration? The target is a straw, what kind of penetrating power do you want......"

Shu Hui took out one of the quivers called Hu Lu placed on the ground, and sure enough, as Ao Guang said, there were no arrowheads, and they were not too sharp.

Presumably, this is also for safety reasons, otherwise as he has read the so-called Yang Yixiao's epitaph, "Send a shot on the martial arts field, and the drummer ......" is not "expelled from the field", but has to be arrested and imprisoned.

"Hu Lu is generally loaded with thirty arrows, and this kind of quiver is learned from the Hu people, so it is called Hu Lu. Now the military is uniformly equipped, and it is very light and easy to use. โ€

"That's right, Ao Guang, you're going to answer?" Shu Hui did not deliberately change his voice when communicating with Hongyu alone, but used his usual voice - but he forgot that the sound he heard was different from when others heard it (Note 1), so Shu Hui's voice suddenly became much more mellow in the ears of Ao Guang and others.

I have the heart to try how much I can pull the horn bow apart when I do morning exercises every day, but unfortunately there are many people here, so I have to give up. Raised his hand and looked at the time, only half an hour had passed, and it was still early.

He looked around and saw a rattan corridor crowded with people, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "Brother, do you know what is going on over there?" But it was Shu Hui who saw Cheng Huaimo standing beside him but frequently looked over there, probably because he had some understanding.

This sudden voice that broke into his head startled Cheng Huaimo, although it was the second time he heard it, it still made him unable to get used to it - this is completely unprepared, how big is the guard named Ao Guang...... Well, I don't know if the gods asked him just now.

"Big brother, that's where the official prostitutes in the Qiongzhou Prostitute Division rest. The girls who came over with wine and meat just now are the people of the courtesans. In these years, women want to show up to win some red silk ribbons, and the prostitute and the teaching department are the first choice, and those little beauties want to go in when they sharpen their heads, so they ......"

He smirked a little obscenely, but turned to a disdainful face: "So the woman who came out of the prostitute is a first-class beauty." It's a pity that these beauties only serve the government on weekdays, and it is rare for ordinary people to see them. Now that there are dozens of people present at a time, I am afraid that all the official prostitutes in Linqiong City have arrived, and they still don't see the eyeballs of those group of dirt buns? โ€

Shu Hui touched his chin, and after the explanation of this seemingly experienced little brother, he could also understand the hunger and thirst of those boring people.

The government selects official prostitutes for remuneration, which is equivalent to formal work, and it is still very decent in today's world. Although there are inevitably unspoken rules or something, and marriage is not free, but in the end, it is not the red people in those buildings who sell themselves to make a living.

Besides, when the official banquet is drinking, the chance of being taken care of by any official is much greater than waiting for them to visit the kiln. Therefore, all the beauties were collected by the government, where did those white bodies have the fate to see? Even if there are a few Qingqi people with better appearance outside, they can even go to Wushan together, which is not as good as the official prostitutes who can't be greedy.

After Cheng Huaimo finished speaking, he looked at Shu Hui expectantly, as if he wanted to encourage him to go over, where did Shu Hui not see what he thought? snorted lightly and sent him to find fun by himself: "If you want to go, go by yourself, don't grind here, how can I have such a useless brother as you!" โ€

However, he was thinking about whether to take this time to think about the problem of naming the system, some things may not be able to be solved by themselves if they drag on, and it is better to make a decision early.

In case the system can increase his life expectancy by 0.9 days per day after the power is upgraded, then he hesitates here for ten days and half a month, and when he is about to die, won't he have to regret all the remaining years?

He was thinking about the possibility of the system after the power was raised, but he glanced at Cheng Huaimo and didn't dare to leave after a few moments, and when he saw him looking over, he laughed twice, and explained in a low voice: "After the shooting salute is completed, a dinner will be held in Yunchonglou, and these official prostitutes will be present at that time to serve one-on-one, and it will not be too late to see it at that time." There's no need to squeeze these dirt buns into a stinky sweat. โ€

Shu Hui touched his chin, this cloud sleeve building seems to be the industry managed by Brother Zhuo Mengling. Although this is only part of his estate, such a big thing should always be there.

The drawings of the ceramic flush toilet have been given to Zhuo Mengling, although she said that she can't be the master of the technology in porcelain, but Shu Hui expects that the Zhuo family will not offend herself for such a reasonable request.

I don't know if he'll give himself an answer tonight.

Note 1: Listening to one's own voice is different from others, because the sound that resonates through the air such as the mouth and nasal cavity when listening to oneself is superimposed on a slight time difference with the faster sound transmitted through the skull, making it appear fuller and fuller. To others, it sounds like only the second part.
