Chapter 9 What to do for a living

It's actually the Holy Fire Order! Shen Yue still knows about the Holy Fire Order, but it is a novel by Jin Yong, the martial arts novel "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" records that the Holy Fire Order is inviolable, it is a sacred relic of the Persian Ming Sect, since it was lost to China, it has always been a symbol of the head of the Ming Sect in Middle Earth, and the Holy Fire Order also contains superior martial arts.

Shen Yue looked over and over again, except for the mysterious patterns, there was nothing that could be connected with martial arts. Although Jin Yong's novel is apocryphal, but this token is clearly engraved with the handwriting of the Holy Fire Order, and it must have a magical effect to get this honorific title.

Shen Yue stabbed the iron piece of the token with a knife, and slashed it a few times, but there was no damage at all, and his heart turned upside down, this holy fire order removed the mahogany, but the iron piece inside was not something that his own cognition could understand, the material of King Kong is not bad, the mysterious lines, is it not a relic of aliens?

Shen Yue shook his head, although he didn't have any clue, he knew that this thing was more valuable than the gold and silver in those treasures, no wonder Ping Shuwen carefully explained to himself when he was dying, if the news of the Holy Fire Order spread, not to mention its miraculous effect, this name alone would be enough to incur death.

At that moment, Shen Yue used a knife to pull out the iron piece from the inlaid mahogany, wrapped it in a cloth and hid it in his arms, and burned the outer frame of the mahogany, after all, the words are engraved on the wood, and if the iron piece is alone, ordinary people can't see anything abnormal. But I put it on my body for so many days, but I didn't feel anything, presumably the impact on people was subtle, but Ping Shuwen was dying, so he could feel it.

Coming out of the house and walking to the lobby, seeing that the Wang family mother and daughter had prepared a meal, Gao Sheng and the others were sitting around a little lively, seeing this scene, Shen Yue felt a warm sense of belonging in his heart, and immediately left behind his doubts about the Holy Fire Order. At present, it is important to take care of the few people who get along with you day and night, and the rest of the fate will be arranged in the future.

Seeing Shen Yue coming in, everyone greeted and sat down, and Shen Yue was no longer polite.

While eating, Guan Xingxin was straightforward, and said to Shen Yue: "Brother Shen, since we have already lived here, what should we do in the future?" It's so far away from the mountains, I don't need my hunting skills. Guan Xing still has a simple personality, and he already regards Shen Yue and them as his own, and always wants to help out some strength.

Shen Yue smiled and turned his head to look at Gao Sheng, he didn't know as much about the current customs of the Ming Dynasty as Gao Sheng, he was a merchant, he was a clever person, and he must have had an idea.

Gao Sheng will know, put down the dishes and chopsticks,

"If you want to say what is the most profitable business in this world, it is naturally grain and salt, but food requires a lot of capital, we can't get involved, we can do some salt business, although there are rules for salt and iron monopoly, but you can pay some taxes to the government, and get some coarse salt to sell in the surrounding towns and villages. That's how I used to run a business. Although it is not very stable outside, we now have horses, and if a soldier comes, it will be enough to escape safely. "When it comes to business, Gao Sheng, who usually doesn't talk much, talks more.

Hearing Gao Sheng say this, several people nodded in praise. Shen Yue said with a smile: "Then Brother Gao and Brother Guan will do the business of selling salt first, Dayong, Dashan and Pingyuan are still young, so they will stay at home to take care of the horses, and Aunt Pinglan will be in charge of the food." I have just thought of a plan, if it can be done, I guess it can make our stay more peaceful, and I will talk to you in two days. ā€

Several people had no doubts about Shen Yue's arrangement, but they were a little curious about his mysterious plan, and they took turns to knock on the side and probe, and they were a little popular at one meal.

Back in the room, Shen Yue put down the pen and paper, drew a few times, the brush was not very handy, and found a few charcoal strips from the kitchen to sharpen them with a knife, the effect was good, and a simple shape of the bow and crossbow jumped on the paper. Leaning back on the chair, Shen Yue sketched the appearance of the bow and crossbow in later generations, and tried to screen out the slightly advanced types that the Ming Dynasty could manufacture, although he was not a senior military fan, but after all, Shen Yue was doing automobile research and development and design, and when he was doing design software training before, he had seen some cases of making bow and crossbow structures, and after some thought, Shen Yue thought of the pulley crossbow, the structure was not complicated, but a group of auxiliary winding pulleys were added to the bow and crossbow. Although the Ming Dynasty is now equipped with firearms, but it is not very practical, the bow and crossbow are still important weapons, but if it is a powerful bow and crossbow that needs a long range, it needs to bend down and step on it with your feet when winding, and if you add a pulley, you can directly use your hand to wind it, which is more convenient and fast.

Although the imperial court bow and crossbow control is now very strong, private collection is equivalent to rebellion, but the focus is on private collection, if you design it yourself, and then run a public-private partnership with the government, it is not impossible to deliver the produced bow and crossbow to the Ming army for use. And once there are these advanced bows and crossbows, the combat power of the Ming army will increase, and the county seat where they live will also be safer. Busy until the middle of the night, Shen Yue looked at the few drawings in his hand and was a little satisfied, so he fell asleep peacefully.

After breakfast the next day, several people went their own way according to yesterday's arrangement, and Shen Yue and Pinglan said hello and went to the street.

There is no business in the blacksmith shop in Zhongfang City, the county seat, there are a few iron farm tools and kitchen utensils scattered on the shelves outside, and an old blacksmith sits by the stove behind the shelf, presumably the impact of the war is a little depressed. Seeing that these products were exquisite, Shen Yue had hope that he could process the parts he wanted. He stepped forward and took out the drawings and asked the old blacksmith of the shop: "Master, do you think these things can be made?" ā€

Of course, Shen Yue handed over the complete bow and crossbow diagram, even if he took it out himself, he didn't dare to make it, Shen Yue had seen the bow and crossbow discarded by the Yuan soldiers on the ruins of Pingjiazhuang, but on this basis, he added a pulley set and some fixed parts. That's all there is to the drawing.

The old blacksmith looked at the drawings for a while and said, "Things should be able to be made, but we have to negotiate the size and material." ā€

Shen Yue had expected this, after all, because he didn't know how to mark the drawings of the Ming Dynasty and how to calculate the size, he didn't dare to mark all the information clearly on the drawings like later generations, and was about to inquire with the blacksmith.

After some explanation, the two of them understood each other a little. When asked about the price and the time to pick up the goods, the old blacksmith looked embarrassed and said: "Although these things are small, we don't have to go to the government to get iron, but we have never done it, and it is a little troublesome to do it alone, so I have to charge you a tael of silver and deliver it in half a month." ā€

Shen Yue didn't care about money, but time was tight, and he asked for three days, and the old blacksmith was embarrassed: "Little brother, don't laugh, if we were the same as in the previous two years, and there were three or four guys, we could make it in two days, but now it's not easy for us to do it alone." ā€

Shen Yue listened to the blacksmith's complaints, and found out that due to the bad business in the past two years, the guys have successively turned to other jobs to barely make a living, and he is too old to get started with other businesses, so he can only keep this shop to make a living.

Shen Yue heard that he had a plan,

"I'll give you five taels of silver this time, you call those guys of yours who can find them over to help first, and I'll pick up the goods in three days, if the things are combined, I'll buy this shop, and then ask you to sit down, and this thing will continue to be done in large quantities in the future."

The old blacksmith was overjoyed when he heard Shen Yue say it, and he was busy packing up the guys and preparing to go out to find someone, Shen Yue left some deposits and walked to the surrounding shops, wanting to know more about the current situation.

There are not many pedestrians on the street, only a few grain stores and cloth shops, and the goods in the shops are not very rich, but there are a few things, and the others are some hawkers carrying burdens and selling on the street. At the base of the street wall squatted a group of villagers, most of them vegetable in their faces, in ragged clothes, with straw sticks stuck in their unkempt hair. Although Shen Yue felt unbearable, he was not able to change it for the time being. There is also a group of people next to them who are clearly distinguished, dressed fairly well, and there are some tools such as saws, hammers, hoes and other tools in front of them, and some are like handymen with skill signs under the overpass in later generations. Shen Yue thought to himself that if he wanted to save someone, he needed to save himself first, except for his parents and lovers in the world, who could help you without reservation, but the story of Mi En's fight against Mi En exists. However, if you need to hire people in the future, you can come here to recruit workers.
