Chapter 7: All Fear Stems from a Lack of Firepower
In troubled times, it is not an accident that the family is robbed, the question is, who will steal it if the family is poor and white.
Again, if it's really a thief, how can you think about restoring your home to its original state.
"Go cook."
Pei Chen didn't tell Qin Mi'er what he had discovered, because he felt that it was useless to tell him.
The bag of millet obtained from the Qin family was not hulled.
The way to remove the husk is to grind, but the resulting rice grains are not clean and more difficult to swallow.
A bag of millet was enough to eat for half a month, and Pei Chen only let Qin Mi'er deal with half of it.
The remaining half was kept, saying it was for another purpose.
In the following days, I went up the mountain to cut bamboo and cut trees.
With Muzhu, I set out to make something.
After seven days, what needs to be done is finally done.
The height is nearly one meter, similar to a stone mill, but the whole body is made of wood and bamboo.
Qin Mi'er was originally puzzled about what her husband wanted carpenter tools for.
Now she finally understood
When he was not married, he saw his brother's carpenter's craft.
My brother's carpentry skills are affirmed by the villagers and neighbors.
But watching the husband shape the things in his hand step by step.
Compared with his brother's carpenter's skills, his brother is like a three-year-old child.
With a look of admiration, looking at the things that had been done, Qin Mi'er said, "Xianggong, this is ......"
"This is called a beating, you bring the rest of the grain."
Under Qin Mi'er's surprised expression, the millet was husked little by little through the whip and turned into rice grains.
This is shelling in the truest sense of the word.
The hulled rice grains are white and fragrant.
"Well, awesome." Pei Chen showed off.
Qin Mi'er, who was holding the rice grain, nodded excitedly, tears falling from her eyes.
According to the classification of varieties, the rice grains obtained through the hammer belong to polished rice, and the polished rice is not eaten by civilians, who eat brown rice, that is, rice that is not clean when husked.
Before, I ate all I ate brown rice, and the result of eating too much was to hurt my stomach.
In terms of price, the price of polished rice is several times that of brown rice.
Civilians don't dare to expect to eat polished rice.
Qin Mi'er will cry because she knows that after having a ring, she will not need to eat brown rice in the future.
"Find a bag and put it up, take it and sell it." Pei Chen said.
"Sold?" Qin Mi'er, who was immersed in happiness, was puzzled.
"Well, sell it, and then exchange it for grain." Pei Chen blinked his eyes and looked at the ring on the side, "I understand what I mean." ”
Qin Mi'er was not stupid, she was so excited that she couldn't speak for a while.
"That's right, we're going to get rich." Pei Chen made a summary.
The price of polished rice is higher than that of brown rice because it is difficult to obtain.
The appearance of the cocoon solves the reason why it is difficult to obtain.
The key is that only you have such means, and there are business opportunities in it.
"Husband, you're amazing." The excitement made Qin Mi'er get carried away, and the whole person threw herself into Pei Chen's arms.
Pei Chen didn't stand firm, was carried by Qin Mi'er, and fell to the ground.
"It's not big, it's not too small." Pei Chen slapped Qin Mi'er on the thighs.
With a snap, Qin Mi'er's face turned red instantly, and she didn't dare to move.
The wife pounced on her husband, which was not in accordance with the rules.
The husband also fanned himself, which can be said to be the most intimate contact these days.
She was scared and shy, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only stay still.
In fact, she has always had doubts in her heart, these days, why does her husband still want herself.
She wanted to know why, but she didn't dare ask.
The current situation can be said to be wrong and wrong.
He was straddled on top of his husband, in an ambiguous posture.
The husband also slapped himself, which was really embarrassing.
Seeing that the situation could develop further......
"What are you doing in a daze, while it's still early, go and sell the rice grains." Pei Chen was puzzled.
Qin Mi'er didn't dare to think about it anymore, hurriedly bagged the rice grains, and went out of the house, not daring to raise her head or say anything during the whole process.
After his wife left, Pei Chen, as a husband, moved his palm.
This kind of contact was the first time for him.
I have to say that it feels really good, but it's still too thin, and you have to get fat.
After Qin Mi'er went out, Pei Chen was not idle.
If you make a fight, you don't dare to say that you can make a lot of money, at least you can ensure that you have food, so you have to consider another issue next.
Who the hell is spying on themselves.
After going home that day and finding out that he had entered the thief, these days, I always feel that I have secretly watched my house.
In the process, I acted as if I didn't know anything about it.
I will do this because I know what it will be like even if I pull people out.
Just with him and Qin Mi'er, if someone in the dark appears in front of him, he is afraid that he will suffer.
Unless it's a reporting officer.
And the biggest official in the village is the village chief.
If you really put things in the hands of the village chief, the biggest possibility is that it will backfire.
In the dark, he was telling himself that the things behind this were probably related to the village chief.
The fight is made to ensure that there is food to eat, and the next thing to solve is the possible danger.
The right thing to do to solve the danger is to make yourself stronger.
All fears stem from a lack of firepower.
Of course, there are no firepower weapons now, but there are still a lot of things that can be used.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, during the years of war, Beidi and Xirong have been eyeing the land of Zhongzhou, and in order to support the war, a heavy tax was pressed on the people.
I wanted to win the war by relying on harsh taxes, but I forced the people to make a living.
If the people can't survive, they can only rebel.
Bandits are like spring rain urging new sprouts and thriving everywhere.
And it turned out.
The dynasty was troubled internally and externally.
Coupled with the mediocrity of the incumbent, the corruption of the officials.
No one dared to guess what the Great Zhou Dynasty would end up with.
Of course, these have nothing to do with you for the time being.
Lanshan Village is not a strategic place, nor is it rich, as long as it can withstand the harsh taxes, it can still live.
As long as they live, the people will endure it.
When we talk about war, we have to talk about weapons.
The level of industrial development of this dynasty, which has not appeared in history, is very average.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to improve the textile wheel casually.
After making a fight, you are not afraid of not having food.
This also maps to weapons.
The most common weapons on the battlefield are only swords, guns and bows, and there are no more.
In Pei's driver, a model of a weapon appeared.
It's a crossbow.
Even in the previous life, the crossbow was a controlled weapon, and the power of the crossbow can also be known from here.
Bows, which are also long-range weapons, do not have such treatment.
The reason is the difference in lethality.
Fundamentally, the bow is propelled by a man, while the crossbow has a mechanism.
To put it simply, one is human and the other is mechanical.
That's the essential difference.
Here's another example.
It is difficult for a child to kill with a bow, but it is easy to kill with a crossbow.
The conditions are limited, and the crossbow made by Pei Chen is relatively simple, and it can only be slowly improved when there are enough materials.
The so-called simplicity, that is, relative simplicity, is placed in the present, a proper big killer.
