Wen Yuan liked these crossbows very much as soon as he saw them, and immediately took out one and studied them carefully.

This crossbow bow is oblate and round, five feet and five inches long, the bow body is made of mulberry wood, and is wound with leather strips to enhance the strength, elasticity and toughness of the crossbow body. It is both beautiful and waterproof and moisture-proof, and it can be powerful on rainy days.

The crossbow arm was three feet long and two inches wide, and the bow was embedded in the bow at the front end of the wooden arm, which was then tied with a leather strip and tied back to the ears on both sides of the wooden arm.

The crossbow arm has a concave arrow path, which can hold the arrow and increase the surface contact area with the arrow, although it increases the firing resistance. However, it is conducive to improving accuracy, and these arrows are finely polished, which is unusually smooth, and they are also painted and waxed to reduce the friction between the arrows and the arrows when firing.

At the back of the crossbow arm is a crossbow machine, precision made of bronze. It is composed of a lookout mountain, a hanging knife, and a cow. Lookout is an aiming device, three inches high; The suspension knife is also the modern trigger. Four inches long, the cow is the most elaborate object of design. The crystallization of the wisdom of our Chinese nation is realized, and the tooth is connected with the hanging knife, but it does not directly bear the force, but through the ox as the hub. When winding, the crossbowman pulls the string against the Wangshan, the Wangshan moves back, and the ox resets after the teeth are in position. The ox bears the tooth force on the top, and the hanging knife is against the knife, and the bow and crossbow enter the state of preparation. If the crossbow is fired, the process is exactly the opposite of winding. The crossbow wrenched the hanging knife, and the ox sank even more as soon as it was loosened. The teeth have no support, / The force sinks, and the bowstring and arrows fly away. This sophisticated design greatly improves the reliability of projection, greatly reduces the false firing rate, and reduces the vibration during firing, which can greatly improve the shooting hit rate.

Wen Yuan looked very carefully, and even took a crossbow bolt to test fire for verification, only to see Wen Yuan pull the line with his pedals, casually aimed at a wooden stake seventy steps away, and lightly knocked on the hanging knife, only to feel that the crossbow body shook, and the crossbow arrow came out in response, roaring violently into the wooden pillar, and the shoulders of one or two more than one or two were deeply pierced into the wooden pillar three inches! The arrow pole trembles and does not stand up!

This is still a two-stone crossbow, and the power of the arrow is already so huge! If it was a stronger three-stone, five-stone, or even ten-stone crossbow, how strong it would be! Sure enough, it is a powerful killing weapon, not only the flight speed is several times that of the bow, the accuracy has also been greatly improved, and more importantly, the crossbow operation is much simpler than the bow, and it can be used freely with a little practice, unlike the archer, who needs to be tall and arm-long, and the accuracy is much inferior, if this killing weapon can equip a large number of troops...... Well, maybe the only thing that falls short is the rate of fire.

Wen Yuan immediately instructed the soldiers of the county city to suspend the production of all other weapons, and make all the pig iron in the treasury into a tweed, or a leaf, to wear the iron armor of the city, and the two stone and three stone crossbows should also be produced with all their might! If there is any lack of materials, the treasury will do its best!

There were more than 300 craftsmen in the county town, and when they saw that the new Taishou had issued an order, they immediately took action.

Out of the arsenal, Guo Dian led Wen Yuan around other places, and it was not until it was getting late that the two returned to the Taishou Mansion for a feast.

In this feast, the civil officials and officials from the top and bottom of Julu County came to participate, and the big families of the wealthy families also came to the scene, and the clerks were officers above the length of the song, and there were hundreds of people on both sides, and they couldn't sit down in the hall, so they placed wine in the courtyard to entertain them. It's just that because of the haste of the change, officials from nearby counties did not arrive.

There are two main seats in the main hall, Wen Yuan and Guo Dian each have a case, on the left is the head of the county town, and on the right is the general brought by Wen Yuan.

At the banquet, Wen Yuan and Guo Dian drank and talked happily, and the civil and military officials in the county town also toasted attentively, hoping to have a good relationship with this future boss.

In the Han Dynasty, Taishou did not set up a captain, and Taishou was the military chief of a county, and he was placed in a county with a rank of 600 stones, and was responsible for civil affairs; Cheng is divided into Cao, such as civil affairs (Hu Cao, Bi Cao, Shi Cao, Tian Cao, Shui Cao), finance (Cang Cao, Jin Cao), transportation (Ji Cao, Cao Cao, Fa Cao), military (Bing Cao, Wei Cao), public security (thief Cao), justice (decision Cao, resignation Cao), education (school officials), health (medical Cao), etc.

In addition, there are more important functions of Gong Cao, Wu Guan, and Supervisor of the Post, these officials have greater real power, and are the right and left hands of the Taishou, and have the highest status among the subordinate officials of the county government, and have the performance of being responsible for the overall situation, commanding or supervising other Cao.

In addition to the Cao chiefs, there are more than 200 people in the army, such as Shuzuo, Xunxing, Gan, and Xiaoshi, but these people's status is too low, so naturally they have no chance to participate.

After becoming a county taishou, except for the county cheng, all the personnel appointment and dismissal power in the county is in the hands of the taishou, even if it is a county cheng, it is easy for the taishou who is in charge of the overall power of the army to get rid of it, so all the cao officials who came to the banquet came to Wen Yuan with an almost flattering expression and a wine.

Wen Yuan kindly asked for his name one by one, but unfortunately these people were not famous scribes.

After the civil official, it is a military general, Julu has a battalion of soldiers and horses, set up a Sima, named Xia Yang, Wen Yuan has no impression, his military Hou Qu is a few people, Wen Yuan asked the name one by one, the result is the same, Wen Yuan is a little regretful about this, this Julu County except for the three brothers Zhang Jiao, the Three Kingdoms does not seem to have any decent civil and military generals.

Thinking about it, it's good to be able to meet third-rate generals such as Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch, Su You, and Murong Ping, and isn't there still a Tian Toyota Yuanhao in Ren County? As long as you can get his help, you can definitely be worth 100,000 troops!

Thinking of this, Wen Yuan's heart suddenly became eager, and his mood became extremely good, drinking happily with various civil and military bureaucrats, and the subordinates saw that the new officials were so bold, and they were all happy in their hearts.

After the civil and military officials, the representatives of the local wealthy families of the gall Tao also came to the hall one after another, they are the head snakes here, and many county officials are their children.

However, speaking of which, the power of the wealthy clan in the gall Tao City is really very small, there are only two with a little strength, the largest one is the small clan surnamed Hu, there are more than 7,000 acres of land in the clan, the patriarch Hu Man is a shrewd fifty-year-old man, there are nearly 300 relatives, and more than 1,000 are attached, which may also be the characteristic of the entire giant deer, no wonder these small families do not have any outstanding talents.

The banquet was staggered, even if it was a very low degree of rice wine, a group of gentry took turns to fight, Wen Yuan couldn't bear it, a wine banquet lasted until late at night, Guo Dian repeatedly asked Wen Yuan to enter the county government to rest, Wen Yuan insisted on not letting it, let Jiao Touch sway back to the pavilion. I slept until three o'clock on the second day before I got out of bed.

Because the handover was just completed yesterday, Guo Dian still needed some time to pack up, Wen Yuan washed up and had breakfast, and waited for Guo Dian to clean up everything in the afternoon before he personally led the county civil and military to send Guo Dian and his family car out of the city and back to his hometown.

Sending Guo Dian away, Wen Yuan was finally able to stay in the Taishou Mansion with dignity, and just sat in the position where Guo Dian once sit, the civil and military forces in the county town gathered together, and Wen Yuan immediately issued the first order to become the Taishou!

"Tell the counties, stay in the county to guard the city, and the county orders, chiefs, and county officials will collect gall pottery after five days, and those who don't arrive will be engaged in military law!"
