Xining took the bamboo slips brought by Qin'er, and the two maids discussed it about the back, and when they went to get the bamboo slips just now, they didn't go together, and they didn't move together.

After looking at it roughly, she asked, "Is there a prescribed size for bows and arrows?" ”

After thinking for a while, the master replied: "Yes, the length of the bow is three feet three inches to three feet five inches, and the length of the arrow is four inches to five inches, depending on the strength of the bow and arrow arm." ”

"That's it~" Xining thought for a while and said: "This time I intend to have fun with the people, and many people may not be able to afford bows and arrows." In this way, I don't understand all the processes, so I'll leave it to the master and County Magistrate Zhou to decide. I only have one request, no matter how long the bow and arrow are, it doesn't hurt to buy homemade, just shoot it on the target and insert it. ”

The master was stunned: "In this way, if you can also have a sleeve arrow or blow arrow?" ”

"Yes!" Xining nodded: "This reminds me that the arrow target is placed at a hundred feet away, and each person is limited to ten shots." As long as you shoot well, shoot accurately, whatever the arrow. ”

Five feet is one step, and one hundred feet is twenty steps. The distance of the target is about the same, but the bow and arrow are unheard of.

No matter, anyway, the county lord is on a whim, and she is the one who pays the money, whether it is playing pitching or archery, as long as she is willing. The county magistrate Zhou is also willing to cooperate, which is regarded as a political achievement and a good relationship between the government and the people.

Xining thought again: "Are there many defenders in the city and nearby?" Surely there are some of them who are better at archery than the common people. ”

The master immediately replied: "There are no defenders in Linyi County, but there are 5,000 defenders in Linguan, which is still far north, and they can't leave Linguan without military orders." ”

"That's good!" Xining nodded: "Then there is work on other things, inform the people as soon as possible, I just have to pay the money when the time comes." ”

After speaking, there was no need to make a look, and the master bowed and retired.

It seems that I want to scare for a while, but today is very good, and all questions will be answered.

As soon as the master left, Xining called Steward Xiao.

When Steward Xiao heard the county lord's order, he couldn't come back to his senses for a while: "What, bought the things in the warehouse?" ”

"Well, it's sold!" Xining said with certainty: "Isn't there five empty shops, one sells ready-to-wear, one sells fabrics, one sells jewelry, one sells ornaments and antiques, and the rest depends on the situation." But it must be sold expensively, and it is estimated that the original price is as much as it sells. ”

How much is sold at the original price, and how much is sold at the current price? Furnishing antiques is another matter, whether you know that second-hand goods will be sold cheaper than the original price.

Xining continued: "Take the low price first, don't take too much each time. There are also those rewarded by the King of Han, except for the items used by the Heavenly Family, which cannot be moved, and the others are pulled over and sold in batches according to the inventory list. Only silver, no cattle or sheep. ”

Steward Xiao looked at the county lord with his mouth open. County Lord, what's the matter? So lack of money?

Xining remembered something: "If there is carbon wood, grain and grass, you can exchange it." ”

Steward Xiao's eyes blinked: "It's just summer, and the price of carbon, wood, grain and grass is extremely cheap. This piece of fabric can be replaced with a large cart of charcoal. ”

"Yes! As long as they have. Xining waved his hand: "Anyway, there is such a big yard behind the store, so many rooms." If it is not enough, then go to buy land and buy a house to store. ”

Does this county lord want to be in business? But it's all messy. Steward Xiao is really kneeling, and he can't toss like this if he has silver.

The next day, the county government sent people to post and beat the gong, and an archery competition will be held after the autumn. For a time, all the villages within a hundred miles heard the wind.

Originally, he was a sharpshooter who was well-known in archery, so he naturally went for the first ten taels of gold, and more of a string of money from eleven to twenty.

They are all in the border areas, the land is dry and barren, many families have bows and arrows, and they usually go out to hunt in their spare time, hunt rabbits and mice or something and add a meat dish.

The requirements of this competition are very low, regardless of the size of the bow and arrow, as long as you hit the target 100 feet away, the one that does not miss the target and falls will count. So up to seventy old women, down to four or five years old Huangkou children, they all pestered their families to make bows and arrows, and practiced archery when they had time.

This summer is still very hot, and many people hang a few targets on the trunk of the tree to practice archery when they are enjoying the shade under the tree.

There is also the county lord's mansion to pull out five truckloads of good things and sell them in several stores. It's a good thing, and it's incredibly valuable.

Originally, two days ago, there were many people who asked and many people who watched, but none of them were sold. But gradually there were customers.

The reason was that the daughters of these wealthy families planned to wear them during the archery competition. Although there are goods shipped from all over the capital, and even from the Xiongnu and the Western Regions, they are still much worse than the goods sold in the store.

After all, those were taken out from the county lord's mansion, and they were different from ordinary goods.

Later, not only the female dependents, but also the male customers came. The best lacquerware wood carvings and famous calligraphy and paintings here are all treasures, and it is difficult to find a thousand gold.

The store can never bargain, a fixed price, never reduce the price, love to buy or not.

For the sake of the good goods, many people gritted their teeth, endured the pain, and spent money to invite things home as if they were treasured.

It's also a little strange, if you don't have silver taels, you can use carbon wood, grain and grass to fill the number. A car really changed a silk handkerchief or embroidered dough fan.

In the warm winter last year, many people had carbon leftover, so they brought it to exchange things. After the things were collected, they were all stacked in the back storeroom.

The business did just that, and the county lord obviously played it too, and never asked for anything. There are not many customers, so it's okay to come every once in a while.

The weather was too hot, and by the time Steward Lin and Xiao Zhan returned with King Han's letter half a month later, Bingjian had already been placed in the room.

Xiao Zhan and Steward Lin came in, and Xiao Zhan saw that there was a huge ice book in the center of the room, which made the room much cooler. And the county lord shook his fan and leaned on the mat pillow to read.

After saluting, Xining put down the bamboo slip in his hand, sat up, and said with a pleasant smile: "Are you back?" ”

"Yes, county lord!" The two stood in front.

Xining asked Steward Xiao who came with her: "Can Steward Lin's family settle down?" ”

Steward Xiao replied, "It's already settled." Bought a three-in-out yard in the middle of the city. ”

Xining nodded and asked Steward Lin, "Are you satisfied?" ”

Steward Lin could only smile with a strong face: "Satisfied, of course satisfied." Steward Xiao is doing things safely, and the house is big and spacious, enough to live. ”

"That's good!" Xining said to Steward Xiao: "At present, you are still in charge of the house, continue to be in charge of it, and when Steward Lin takes care of the affairs at home, you will gradually return it to him." ”

Steward Xiao immediately said yes.

Steward Lin hurriedly said, "No, no, I can now." ”

As soon as I come back, I will take back the stewardship, of course, in a hurry. All the family members are brought here, and there is really only one way to do it loyally.

Xining smiled and shook her fan: "This matter is not in a hurry, many things are done after you leave, and it will take you a certain amount of time to hand them over." For now, you should settle down at home first, and when your home is stable, you can do things with peace of mind. ”

Of course, Steward Lin could hear the sound, but he could only say yes.

Then he took out a letter and said that it was a reply from the king.
