The land of Yizhou is fertile, the products are abundant, and the plains are thousands of miles away, all of which are fertile fields.

At the height of the Great Zhou Empire, Yizhou was once the logistics base of the empire against the barbarians in the north. A kind of silk produced in Xiancheng, Shudu, is a good material for making bows and crossbows.

The crossbow is forbidden by the government, and the common people are not allowed to hide it privately. At this point, the world is in chaos, and the attitude of the princes everywhere is the same.

Although there is a world of fine horses out of the cold, the crossbow has more reputation as a string city, but now, the world is in turmoil, and the craftsmanship of making crossbows in various places is either dead or privately collected by the princes, and the craftsmen who can make crossbows are in short supply.

In the years that Xia Yunhua has become the king of Shu, although it cannot be said that she has been tyrannical and extravagant, she is definitely not a Daoming monarch.

Yizhou's armament is lax, and the people's livelihood is difficult. If it weren't for the natural danger of this thing, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I am afraid that the Liang army would have attacked it a long time ago.

Although Xia Yunhua gave Yang Xian the right to open the mansion, he didn't give it to anyone, and he didn't give money, so he gave it a name.

And if Yang Xian wants to stand on his own feet in Yizhou and even resist the invasion of the Great Liang, it is essential to have a strong army. Among them, having a crossbow team is a top priority.

Over the past few days, Yang Xian has accumulated a total of two skill points. He didn't light up those extremely powerful martial arts skills, and with the protection of a great grandmaster-level master like Yang Chun, his safety was safe for the time being.

In addition to the offensive skills of each faction, the most special thing in this starry sky reflection is the life skills in the game.

These life skills don't cost many skill points compared to those complicated martial arts skills, but they are extremely useful.

The first life skill that Yang Xian lit up was manufacturing. With the crafting skills, he was able to easily obtain the diagram of the Arbalest.

However, trouble ensued, and there was a manufacturing diagram, but it was not possible to create a crossbow. Yang Xian still has one of the biggest problems that has not been solved.

That's no money!

Whether it is the acquisition of materials, to the hiring of craftsmen, to the construction of the arsenal of the Prime Minister's Mansion to collect the crossbows, and the need to maintain the crossbows, it is a large expense.

Xia Yunhua, the king of Shu, is a dime, and the people who control the finances in Yizhou are either the people of Xia Yunhua, the king of Shu, or the people of the four major families of Li, Zhang, Yan and Huang, and it is even more impossible to ask for money from those big families.

So in order to solve this trouble, Yang Xian lit up the second life skill, food.

These life skills are secondary in the game, and players are almost always constantly repeating mechanical operations every day, and the food skills are even more chicken.

However, for Yang Xian, these are of a lot of use.

"Father, the food you cook is delicious!"

Xia Gong Nirvana is a foodie, and he is not an ordinary foodie.

"Come, eat a shredded yam!"

Yang Xian picked up a yam and handed it to Xia Gong Ni. The other party is like a docile kitten, swallowing the yam cut into small pieces in one bite.

The sweet yam has already been steamed, and it is crushed without a fine bite. Xia Gongni ate the dishes made by Yang Xian himself, with a smile on his face.

For Yang Xian, feeding in person can increase Xia Gongni's loyalty. And for a foodie like Xia Gongni, food is almost everything.

"Your Highness, is the minister's dish made today still in line with His Highness's taste?"

"Father, your cooking is so delicious! None of those imperial chefs in the palace can compare to the father! In the future, Ni'er will come to his father's house every day, okay? ”

Yang Xian looked at the dishes on this table, and the food of four or five adult strong men now entered the small belly of Xia Gong Ni. Looking at each other's appearance, it seems that they are not yet full.

"Okay, okay, okay! His Royal Highness wants to come to the minister's mansion, which is the minister's honor. ”

Yang Xian gritted his teeth and said. According to the eating method of Xia Gong Nirvana, three meals a day, plus a snack. Even if he wasn't poor, he would have to die of exhaustion.

"What did the minister and His Highness say?"

"Father Xiang rest assured. Isn't it just a matter of touching porcelain, hand it over to Nirvana! Those people dare to bully their fathers, I don't think they want to live anymore. ”

Xia Gong Nirvana ate to his heart's content, touched his little belly, and said very domineeringly.

It was a mild afternoon.

Li Yu, the son of the Li family, was wandering around the bustling streets of Xiancheng. As the son-in-law of a big family, he fully inherited the excellent tradition of those second ancestors who bullied men and women.

The news that Xia Yunhua, the king of Shu, was terminally ill was no secret in this huge string city. For the sons and daughters of these big families, this is actually good news.

For them, the legitimacy of the Xia clan is not a big deal. Tied to Xia's fast-leaking ship, not being able to get out is the biggest trouble.

Once Xia Yunhua died, only Xia Gongni and Yang Xian were left in the land of Yizhou. If they can remove these obstacles and defect to Daliang, then they will not only be able to keep their current wealth, but also be promoted to the rank of knight.

In Li Yu's opinion, no matter how rampant Yang Xian is, he is just a hairy boy who has not dried up, and Xia Gongni is even more of a yellow-haired girl, can he still turn the sky upside down?

Li Yu was in a good mood today, even if he met a merchant who inadvertently offended him, he didn't punch and kick him as usual, but let him go with a smile.

Li Yu's good mood lasted for a long time, until, he met a little girl.

"Hey!"

A little girl in a cloth dress with pigtails walked straight towards him, and then fell to the ground unsurprisingly. The movements are skillful, and they are professional at first glance.

"Why are you hitting me?"

Li Yu looked at this dirty girl with a gray face, and she didn't plan to make trouble. Who knew that the little girl would not forgive.

"Give money!"

It's the first time Li Yu has seen such a bastard, in the past, he was the only one who bullied people, where did anyone dare to provoke him.

"Where did the little girl come from, dare to stand in my way! Get out! ”

"You dare to scold me?"

When ordinary people met Li Yu, they had already left. But this little girl is still stuck in her waist, looking menacing.

"You little bastard with a father and no mother, Lao Tzu not only wants to scold you, but also beat you!"

Li Yu stretched out his hand, and a big mouth was about to fan it. It's just that Li Yu's hand was halfway out, and he suddenly felt a strong attack behind him.

Bump.

When Li Yu got up from the ground covered in dust, he found that the surrounding area was already full of soldiers, and the men he brought were also subdued by these people.

"Who are you who dare to beat me, and you won't die?"

"Lord Li is really a great official!"

Yang Xian walked out of the crowd unhurriedly and said slowly.

"Yang Xian!" Li Yu seemed to realize something, and exclaimed loudly, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Of course I caught you!"

After Yang Xian finished speaking, more than a dozen soldiers from the Yang Mansion rushed up and tied Li Yu tightly.

"Yang Xian, why did you arrest me? Just because I didn't allocate money to your Prime Minister's Office? You are a communiqué personal vendetta! My dad won't let you go! ”

Smack!

The two slap marks clearly hit Li Yu's face, and his face quickly swollen. The pain calmed him down, who was shouting.

"Hugh is talking nonsense. How could the prime minister arrest people privately because of disagreements with the political opinions above the court. Brother Li! You're in for a big deal. ”

Yang Xian stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder seriously.

"Joke, what did I do?"

Li Yu glanced at the soldiers of the Yang Mansion who had beaten him just now, and asked unwillingly.

"You are guilty of insulting the royal family and attempting to murder the princess of Shu! Don't say it's Uncle Li Shi, I'm afraid that my true appearance won't be able to protect you! ”

Li Yu seemed to remember something, and looked carefully at the little girl in the cloth clothes, as if she had entered an ice cellar.

"Take it away!"

Xia Gong Nee trotted to Yang Xian's side, with a praising expression on his face.

"Father, how is Ni'er doing?"

"Very good, add a lion's head to you at night!"
