Chapter Ninety-Nine: Just Waiting for the East Wind (3)
The onlookers looked at the well-dressed man who looked like a rich man, and the latter was flushed, but before he could speak, Ding Yi said indifferently: "Recently, I'm afraid that you have even become a problem with food and clothing, if I expect it to be right, your brother doesn't know which acquaintance he met in Wanping County, and he was invited to a wine shop to overeat, and his stomach has not been so swollen for a long time, of course he can't support it, but for the sake of face, he forcibly didn't let himself vomit, and he wanted to find a place where no one was there to vomit, So he walked quickly and ran out of this, and his stomach, which was enlarged by food, finally couldn't hold it and cracked, and his stomach was sour...... That is to say, the bitter bile seeps into the internal organs, and he dies violently. Bring the corpse back, it will stink after a long time. β
After that, Ding Yi didn't pay attention to him anymore, walked over to Zhao Zhixian's side and said: "This person's family is in the middle of the road, is it okay for the county to give a thin coffin?" "Where would Zhao Zhixian disagree? The county magistrate at the foot of the Son of Heaven has a corpse lying on the street, if it is a long time, he is afraid that the black veil on his head will not be able to keep it, and he still cares about a thin coffin?
"You talk nonsense! How can Lao Tzu have a bad family background? Lao Tzu is the captain of the horse...... "The rich man who looked like the old man of the well woke up like a dream at this time.
Ding Yi turned around and glanced at him coldly, but it made Master Jing shudder, and subconsciously stopped, and when he realized that something was wrong and wanted to shout, Ding Yi said lightly: "The seven gold rings on your hand are all fakes; The clothes on your body are about a decent robe at home, and you wear it when you go out, right? The creases are a little white, if the official asks the messenger to untie your outer robe, there is a good chance that there is more than one patch on your underwear......" Ding Yi looked at the body of the deceased just now, and there were several patches on his underwear, so he dared to assert this.
"If you still don't believe me, dissect your brother's body on the spot, and the official assures him that his stomach will be several times larger than a normal person's stomach. If you don't get ten times it, if you are not satisfied, you can find a year to identify, or go to a mass grave to find the body of the ownerless to compare. Collect the corpse back, or just come the same, take off the ring on your hand first, and ask any pawnshop to come over for inspection! β
What is the cousin of the Captain of the Pony? Ding Yi is not Zhao Zhixian, his apprentices are all little grandfathers, and his uncle Wang Zhen threw a colt directly into Jinyi Prison a few years ago, are you still afraid of him? Besides, if this person really gets close to the well horse. As for starving to death?
The old man of the well was full of sweat, and said continuously: "I will take it, I will accept it!" β
The onlookers couldn't help but burst into bursts of applause, and some people even shouted: "Lord Qingtian!" "Bao Longtu is reincarnated, he can check the yin and yang! β
Ding Yi made a gesture at the people. Fang Cai said to Zhao Zhixian: "If it's a matter here......"
Zhao Zhixian knew the elegance of the song when he heard it, and understood that Ding Yi couldn't look down on this small county. I'm thinking about the next time. As soon as Latin came out to take the pot, he didn't get past this matter, so he took out the boss's bearing, and he really shook it to the ground: "The student sends off Mr." β
Ding Yixiao smiled but didn't care, so he went back to the house.
The so-called "intentionally planting flowers and flowers do not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade" is talking about such things. Ding Yi didn't care about this murder case at all, but Zuihou solved the tangled problem that he had been unable to enter because of this case, which is a later story. Leave it at ease.
"How can this Wangshan be able to do it! Where are there two lookouts? Damn, Lord Ding is being deceived again, right? Silence what? Lord Ding is a good person, but he is too naΓ―ve, and there is no elder in the family, so it is not unusual for people to be deceived! Craftsman Li's loud voice rang out again in the courtyard where the craftsman lived, "This crossbow is ready, let's work harder and spend time on the arrow cluster to make it sharper in armor piercing, isn't it real?" Get this bird to look at the mountain, and you can get a ghost! β
Ding Yi just arrived at the gate of the courtyard at this time, those dogs saw him come a few times, but after they were ripe, they consciously dispersed and did not dare to come, Ding Yi shook his head at Su Jian with a smile, signaled that he had nothing to do, and lifted his robe and went inside, and saw a group of craftsmen who were about to be tired and resting, squatting in the patio holding tea bowls, and the daughters-in-law of each family were pouring water and handing towels there.
At this time, the mother-in-law who didn't know what Li Jiangtou whispered again, which made Li Jiangtou angry: "Get out of the way!" Beware of Lao Tzu's vinegar jar's big fist beckoning over! Your mother, I can't break my head if I want to, you are a woman, you have long hair and short knowledge, what bullshit can you do? I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue! β
Those craftsmen pulled, but after all, they didn't let Li Craftsman jump up and beat his daughter-in-law. Ding frowned when he heard this, and then said, "The sister-in-law of the Li family is invited, I don't know what to do?" "If you can't achieve the aiming device, then the training time will be many times longer, which is absolutely fatal for Ding Yi.
The daughters-in-law of several other craftsmen under the eaves stopped in front of her, but they were preventing Li Jiangtou from beating people, and Li Jiangtou's daughter-in-law dodged behind them timidly, her lips trembling, where could she speak? Ding Yi looked at it and shook his head, waved his hand to the craftsmen who got up to salute and motioned for them to get up, but beckoned to Craftsman Li and motioned for him to come out with him.
"What's wrong again?" Ding Yi asked Craftsman Li in a good voice.
When Li Craftsman didn't talk about the equipment, he was still in normal spirits, and he had an inward awe for Ding Yi's official body, listening to Ding Yi's question, he hurriedly bent down and saluted: "My lord, you don't know, this mother-in-law is reckless all day long, and the brothers are thinking about how to get that family, and the mother-in-law always comes up from time to time to interject, there are no rules, and she can't be ...... if she doesn't teach her."
Ding Yi had a little headache, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his temples, this year is not as good as hundreds of years later, if you want to say that men and women are equal, maybe even the sister-in-law of the Li family thinks Ding Yi is crazy, right? I can't control the people who train my wife and beat the children, I really don't know how to persuade him for a while, and I thought for a while before I said to him: "The talented lady can read and write, do you think it's very novel?" β
"What's new? Following Xiucaigong, he can always get a little bit of culture. Li Gongtou said.
Ding Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but he could still persuade him: "That's it, if a woman from a scholarly family marries into a Xiucai family and can read and write, it is a very reasonable thing; My sister-in-law, father and brother are craftsmen, and I have followed you for so many years, and I know the tricks, what's so surprising? You don't have an idea if you want to break your head anyway, you might as well listen to her, if it's not right, come back a few times, and she will restrain herself. Convince people with virtue. Got it? β
"It seems to be the same, it's just that she's always noisy......"
"By the way, do you want to be an official?"
"Hehe, this, naturally, I want to do it, don't hide it from the adults, the golden carpenter during the reign of Emperor Wen, I am very envious." Craftsman Li scratched his chin and grinned. It's hard for him to remember clearly, the bricklayer Jin Heng and others in December of the eighteenth year of Yongle. It is to confer officials with craftsmen.
Ding Yi originally just wanted to draw a cake for him, but who knew that there was really a craftsman as an official, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "If you want to, you can convince people with virtue, you don't believe it, go and inquire." Or find someone to help you check the history books and see if it says that the gold carpenter beat his wife? β
This is pure nonsense. Which history book will record a carpenter who became a petty official and beat his wife?
"Really?"
"You can read a few words, too. If you want to find out which history book, just say, I'll find it for you and turn it over for yourself. Ding's face was not red and his heart was not beating.
Craftsman Li hurriedly shook his head: "How can an adult come to deceive someone like me?" We believe, rest assured, we will definitely convince people with virtue in the future! β
The Li family's sister-in-law's method is not very new, and the idea she came up with is to fix the crossbow and take a thin rope. Pull from the notch and crosshair of the sight to the target, that is, in a straight line, the notch, the crosshair, and the target are the three points above, and then shoot. Correct the sight according to the point of hit, then re-draw the line and shoot again until it is corrected.
The truth is broken at one point, and all the craftsmen feel that it is feasible when they hear it, although it is a layer of paper, but to pierce it, it must have a certain amount of wisdom and chance.
Ding Yi couldn't help but pat Li Jiangtou's shoulder, and said to him in a low voice, "Look? If you let her speak, the reward of five taels of silver will be earned for nothing, and you will be able to convince people with virtue, and maybe you will be able to become an official in the future. Craftsman Li thought deeply and nodded desperately.
In less than three days, the eccentric pulley crossbow was produced.
Ding Yi didn't plan to make the kind of steel crossbow that could penetrate plate armor, because he still knew a little about bow crossbows, and to reach that level, he had to use a winch to wind it, according to the data he remembered, the winch alone was six to seven catties, let alone a crossbow body close to thirty catties.
Ding Yi was already very satisfied with the crossbow machine with a Monte Carlo stock, a Bavarian cheek, a pistol grip, a small grip, and a mechanical sight, although he could not achieve the original expected effective range of 80 steps, but he could break a single layer of armor within 60 steps, which was already extremely good. You must know that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, "Tiangong Kaiwu" said that the range of the crossbow at that time was only fifty steps. The reason why it can reach 60 steps to break a single armor is because the crossbow in Ding Yi's hand is not a simple pulley group, and it can save effort by increasing the length of a single string; Instead, an eccentric wheel is used, that is, the work distance is increased by the secondary string, and the work distance of the main string is not increased much.
It may be a bit twisty to say this, but to put it simply, it is:
Labor-saving, in the past, you had to sit on the ground and work together with your waist and feet to wind it, but now you can easily pull the wind with a kick;
The secondary chord increases the work distance, and the rate of fire of the fire is not reduced;
Abandoning the original suspension knife firing, Ding Yi is still very interested in the trigger system, even if there is no way to make wire springs, use twisted ropes and coil springs to simulate the modern trigger system, which is still no problem for Ding Yi, and the accuracy is much improved this time;
Coupled with the mechanical sight, the accuracy is countless times stronger than the monolithic lookout on the original suspension!
Of course, Ding Yi also made a limit on the radius of the eccentric wheel, and for the sergeants he specially selected with big shoulders and round waists, they could be wound with pedals without using a twister.
And what worries Ding Yi, one is a handmade bearing, while ensuring quality, it is difficult to increase output, this is okay, I can only look forward to once I get acquainted, according to the assembly line operation, slowly increase the output is, this is the limitation of the times, in a few hundred years will not be worth a few dollars of bearings, now Ding Yi can only watch the top craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty slowly make it with the attitude of making heirloom artworks;
More important is the material problem of the eccentric wheel, in the test firing of the five crossbows, four of the thirty fires were scrapped, all the eccentric wheels had problems, and the fastest broken one was only fired seven times. Fortunately, Ding Yi had seen the scene of hurting people when the bow and crossbow collapsed before, and asked to fix the crossbow, pull the trigger with a rope, and wind it, so that there was no tragedy.
"The minimum number of shots per crossbow should be increased to at least thirty." Ding Yi was a little helpless. (To be continued......)
