Chapter 22 Gambling by the pit

The next day, when An He went to Carpenter Tan again, which Zhuge crossbow and which ten crossbow arrows had been made, Carpenter Tan had a question and asked An He:

"When this repeater was first made, I wanted to try its power, so I found a wooden plank and fired it at it with a repeater, the power is not small, but I feel that the accuracy is extremely poor, and I drew a circle on the board, and it was very close, but I couldn't shoot, somehow?"

An He took a crossbow and shot it at a wooden plank, and the power was indeed great, and the crossbow arrow penetrated into the wood very deeply, shaking the wooden plank "buzzing". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tan carpenter drew a circle on the board with a pen, An He aimed, and he didn't shoot four times in a row, thinking that his archery skills were not good, so he handed it over to Lin Yishan, Lin Yishan is a master of archery, and he is naturally full of confidence, but he shot three times in a row outside the circle.

An He was very puzzled, which meant that it was not a problem of poor archery skills.

I took the crossbow and checked it carefully, there was no problem, it was all made according to what I had drawn, and I looked at which crossbow arrow, the crossbow rod was made of bamboo, and the arrow was made of pure iron, which was triangular, and after thinking about it, I understood, and asked Tan Carpenter for a carving knife, and drew two deep ditches on the rod of which crossbow arrow, and then handed it over to Lin Yishan, Lin Yishan shot it three times, and sure enough, all three times hit the circle.

An He looked interested, and grabbed a crossbow to shoot three times in a row, but fortunately, because the distance was not too far, he also shot twice three times, and An He knew that this was because of his poor archery.

The carpenter of Na Tan asked the reason, and An He said:

"This crossbow arrow has no arrow feathers, and it is shorter than the average arrow, so after shooting out, the balance is very poor, and the resistance of the air is large, which changes the direction of its travel, and it is reasonable to miss the shot, which arrow shaft is carved into two grooves, and the arrow can effectively reduce the resistance of the air in the process of traveling, and improve the hit rate of the arrow."

After all, the people of the Tang Dynasty still didn't know much about natural science, although An He thought he understood it enough, Lin Yishan and Tan Carpenter still didn't understand it too much, but they admired An He more and more. Thought:

This guy has everything in his head, and no matter what kind of problem, he can always find a solution.

An He thought, with this Zhuge crossbow, and then go hunting in Mangshan, he can shoot a few hares and pheasants with his own hands.

An He didn't know that later, on the orders of Gaozong Li Zhi, he and a number of Tang Dynasty generals together to destroy Baekje, Goryeo, Ping Turk and a series of wars, in the Wu Zhou period to fight against Tubo and recover the Western Regions, this Zhuge crossbow played a vital role, and made outstanding contributions to him becoming a generation of famous generals with outstanding military achievements and brilliant generations.

This is a later story, not for the time being, for now, Anhe is just thinking about using it to hunt.

took away which Zhuge repeater, An He asked Lin Yishan to pay which Tan carpenter, Tan carpenter naturally tried his best to refuse, An He had to give up, which Tan carpenter just kept the remaining two bowstrings made of rhinoceros skin, and he wanted to make two more sets of crossbows according to the map, one to pass on to his descendants, and the other to stay in the shop, as a capital to show off.

Walking to the old county office, An He saw that more than half of the rubble on the mountain had been picked up, which showed the liveliness of the big pit.

Dakeng is really lively these days, and small traders and hawkers can go wherever there are many people.

So who sells cloth, sells flowers, sells ice bran gourds, sells vegetables, plays tricks, boxing and performers all gather here, it turns out that the north of Yongcheng County is much less than the south of the city, and the business of the shops is not very good, but people are dissatisfied these days, the business of the shops is hot, and all the merchants are happy to keep their mouths together.

It's just that the yellow sea is bitter, and the crowd has to be evacuated here every day to prevent the streets from being blocked.

A table was set up on the side of the big pit today, where did Changsun Heng and Wang Zhonglin, two famous playboys in Yongcheng County, gamble on it, stipulating that they would throw rubble ten times in a row, and the one with the least number of times would lose a string of money to the other party.

That's a thousand copper plates! Lost once, how could the common people have seen this formation, suddenly the spectators gathered, rubbing shoulders, an old man's dentures were squeezed out, and the two ladies were rubbed with oil by Meng Lang's son as soon as possible, and their cheeks were crimson.

Where the two of them voted, four or five subordinates helped them go to the old county to get rubble, and where dozens of dollars were placed on the table.

Where are the two sons and brothers in full swing, sweating.

The surrounding crowd was excited by this gamble, and the crowd was excited, cheering, cheering, applauding, and cheering one after another, which could be heard every mile away.

Which Gongsun Heng's level of casting the circle is extremely poor, every time he loses to Wang Zhonglin, in less than an hour, there is only one hanging of the ten hangs of money left, and he ordered his subordinates to go to the silk village to get ten hangings and put them on the table.

If you don't lose ten dollars, Young Master Ben is not bad for money, but he is so poor that he only has money left.

Seeing that these two people were as hot as washing, the two subordinates next to them took fans and fanned them with their feet.

The onlookers around looked envious, this is called rich, this is called the young master from the Dashi family, and he can put such a big score by playing a circle throwing game.

According to Tang Law, gathering crowds to gamble is also not allowed, Huang Dahai saw which horse dealers were gambling a few days ago, and stepped forward to stop it, but today, how dare Huang Dahai ask!

The eldest grandson Heng is the son of Luoyang's eldest grandson Anye, who is the half-brother of the late Empress Changsun and the prime minister of the dynasty, Changsun Wuji.

After the death of the eldest grandson Wuji's father, Gongsun Anye drove the eldest grandson Wuji and his sister, who was later the eldest grandson empress, out of the house. But he didn't expect that his half-brother and sister would be able to achieve such great cultivation later.

One married a generation of male lord Li Shimin, became the queen of the world, and the other assisted Li Shimin to launch the Xuanwumen coup, ranking first among the twenty-four meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

There's no way, who made us look down on people at the beginning? Now that people are developed, it doesn't make sense to go to find someone else! Besides, how thick-skinned you have to beg someone!

I'm afraid that if these two people are small-minded and think of the unbearable past when they were driven away, and then retaliate, wouldn't they move a stone and hit themselves in the foot, and the gains outweigh the losses?

Simply, don't go to them anymore, see that your family is quite well-off, and I'll do business under the banner of you two. Anyway, it's so far away, you two don't know. In the entire Luoyang County, who doesn't know that he is the elder brother of the eldest grandson queen and the prime minister of the dynasty, so officials at all levels give him face, and there is an envoy who has oil and water to hand over to him, maybe he will beg for someone when he comes.

Slowly, his business grew bigger and bigger, and the number of silk villages opened in various states and counties in Henan Province reached one or twenty, and there were also two in Yongcheng County, so Gongsun Heng often lived in Yongcheng County.

Wang Zhonglin's hometown is the Taiyuan family of the royal family, Wang Zhonglin's father has been operating a pharmacy in Yongcheng County for many years, almost monopolizing the entire medicinal material industry in Yongcheng County, there are more than 10 large and small medicine shops in the county, so he sold the house and land in Yongcheng County, and the whole family moved here, which 60 acres of land in Lin Yishan was sold to his family.

These two people are very famous in the county, even the county commander Liu Wenzhi is quite polite to them, how dare Huang Dahai care!

Bet on it, turn a blind eye to it, one more thing, it's better to have one less thing, and you shouldn't see it.

Which horse dealers on the west side of the pit don't see it, you don't let us gamble, and you don't care if these two boys gamble so much, why? Regardless of you, if you come again, we have a reason.

So a few horse dealers gave the children more than a dozen copper plates and asked them to go to get rubble, and a few people gambled enthusiastically, so that Huang Dahai lost his temper, out of sight and out of mind, so he simply let a few catchers where to maintain order, and he went back to the county government alone.

When he returned to the county office, he didn't dare to report the matter to the county magistrate Liu Wenzhi, and he was afraid that Liu Wenzhi would be angry, and then ordered to prohibit throwing rubble on the edge of the big pit, so that he would not be able to complete the errand of carrying the rubble of the old county office, and he would be in the soup with four hanging money.

Huang Dahai was very annoyed when he thought about it, so he pulled a quilt and covered his head and fell asleep.

Friends who are chasing it, please collect it, vote for a recommendation, thank you.
