Chapter 56 Anti-riot Equipment
"Each household is 100 wen, and there are 61,000 households in this county, with a total income of 6.1 million wen, which is equivalent to 6,100 yuan. The wealthy merchants of the city and the squires from all over the city raised another two thousand yuan, for a total of eight thousand and one hundred yuan. Of these, 3,000 were exchanged for two hundred and sixty taels of gold, according to the command of the lord. The rest is sealed in the official treasury. Gan Xin's report is complete.
Eight thousand taels of silver, and more than seven hundred taels of gold, and there is no lawbreaker...... Small money! Ouyang explained: "The brothers have worked hard these days, and I will share it with everyone." The rest of the books will not be made yet. Ou Ping will take twenty taels of gold to Gan Zhubo, and if he looks thin and chicken-like, he should also make up for his body. ”
"Master Xie." After hearing this, Gan Xin added tears and snot, this greeting is more than 300 yuan, more than 30,000 catties of rice, enough to eat for a lifetime.
"Xiao Gan, the money is endless. The key is how to earn. Remember to keep this a secret, even if it's your wife. ”
Ouyang said that as soon as he finished, someone knocked on the door of the study, and a servant reported: "My lord, someone is looking for you." ”
……
Ouyang's body just appeared in the public hall, the sound of firecrackers outside the public hall, the sound of gongs and drums moved the world, Master Su took the lead, and the four strong boys behind him carried a plaque, which read: Diligent government for the people. Then there was a cadre of squires and a large group of people watching the excitement.
Ouyang smiled and bowed: "How embarrassing is this." ”
Master Su returned the salute: "It should be." ”
"Carry it in. Master Su spoke. Ouyang pulled Master Su aside and said, "This time it took more than 6,000 yuan to buy officials and Wang Wenqing. There are still two thousand guans left, you see? ”
"Adults ...... themselves"
Ouyang Zhengse interrupted: "It is the duty of this official to seek benefits for the people, and this official has his own imperial court support. Isn't this the same as corruption? Do not discredit my name. ”
"Well, the big man's festival, Su admires. Yangping has adults as parents and officials, which is really a blessing for the people. Master Su was amazed, turned around and shouted: "Everyone be quiet, my lord said, if you want to return the remaining two thousand to us, can we ask for it?" ”
"Can't!" Several squires hurriedly said: "My lord is running up and down for this matter......
"Otherwise. Ganxin. ”
"The subordinates are here."
"Two thousand will be put into the people's funds, and the special funds will be used for special purposes, and no one shall withdraw them privately."
"Yes!"
Ouyang said to the squires: "I think that when the farming is over, it is better to spend a thousand yuan to hire local people to build bridges and pave roads." First, take it from the people and use it for the people. Second, it also allows everyone to earn a few dollars to supplement their families. This money is people's money, and I have to listen to what you mean. ”
"Great goodness, great goodness." The squires nodded their heads and said that they would also contribute
"If there are still a thousand yuan, the county will save it first, and when there is a need, it will definitely take out a lot of money."
……
"Bastard!" Liu Sinu was angry and furious. I didn't expect my desperate plan to fulfill Ouyang.
Liu San was sweating profusely on the side: "Master, I didn't expect this kid to be able to invite Wang Wenqing to come forward." You must know that Wang Wenqing pretends to be high, and it is difficult to even meet the magnates of the Manchu Dynasty, let alone stuttering. ”
"Now it's not about why, it's about what to do." Liu Sinu said: "Seeing that people are now the will of the people, we are raising a group of white-eyed wolves for nothing, and we are always complained about behind our backs. And now his subordinates are more loyal than dogs, and they can't wait to call him their father. ”
Liu San's eyes rolled and asked cautiously: "Master, do you want to contact that side and give him some color?" ”
"Over there?" Liu Sinu shook her head: "After all, he is an official of the imperial court, and if he is to be killed by bandits, he must be investigated." It's hard to say that it's up to us. ”
"If you don't kill him, scare him. Besides, he has never had a county lieutenant, and after a fuss, we will go to the state to accuse him of 'lax control of bandits'. ”
"Yes!" Liu Sinu nodded: "If you want it, you want it." But be clean, and at least don't get it on my head. ”
Liu San nodded knowingly: "Don't worry, ten chicks can still stop them?" ”
……
"Master Xie." Ten officials said in unison, one person has ten runs, and ten runs is not a small number.
"Everyone deserves it. These days, everyone has worked hard and done a good job. In addition, each person's merits are recorded in the book, and year-end bonuses will be issued at the end of the year according to performance. Opping. ”
"In!" Ou Ping took out a wooden box and put it on the public case.
Ouyang took out a small hand crossbow made of fine iron and said: "This county feels the trouble of the flying god rat in Shanggu, so I asked the blacksmith of Dongjie to rush to work for a few days and nights to make ten hand crossbows. Each hand crossbow is equipped with two crossbow arrows. Hand crossbows and arrows are marked by your name. Remember, this object is so lethal that it cannot be used against civilians or ordinary thieves, otherwise it will be counted as a matter of human life. ”
Hand crossbows were as notorious in the Cold Weapons Age as they were in the Firearms Age. In the Spring and Autumn period, crossbows appeared, which could shoot farther than bows and arrows, were more lethal, and overcame the weakness of being limited in physical strength when drawing bows. By the Han Dynasty, the machining accuracy and surface finish of the crossbow machine had reached a fairly high level. There are eight specifications of the Han crossbow, ranging from one stone to ten stones, and the characteristics of the crossbow are that they are far and accurate, and there is time to aim calmly, but the winding is more laborious and time-consuming. The Western Han Dynasty had a profound influence on the development of strong crossbows. Not only on the basis of the increase in the Qin Dynasty, but also the addition of scales, so that the crossbow has a stable ballistic reference, and with the replacement of the wooden crossbow profile with the copper crossbow profile, the crossbow body's bearing capacity to tension has also been greatly enhanced. The rower-like waist crossbow has a maximum pulling force of 370 kilograms, which is simply incredible, and the effective range is more than 500 meters. The crossbow was greatly developed in the Song Dynasty, and the Song court, which was heavy on infantry, regarded it as a weapon against the cavalry peoples of the north.
This weapon was banned by the Holy See in Europe for two reasons, a civilian armed with crossbow arrows could easily kill a soldier who had been trained for more than 20 years as long as he trained for a few hours. It is unacceptable for the most humble person to take the life of the noblest person. Another reason is that the accuracy of the crossbow is extremely high, and the design of the arrow is very poisonous, according to the medical level of the 10th century, the basic medium crossbow means to go to God.
Ouyang is a policeman, and of course he thinks that the police should be equipped with weapons that ordinary people cannot equip. What? Do you have an official knife? There are more people with knives. Since you can't get a gun, you have to use a crossbow with a handle. These ten people are in unison, not to mention the Flying God Mouse, even the strongest martial arts master can be abolished. Enforce the law strictly, provided that you can enforce the law.
"As for how to use it? I'll take you to the shooting range in a moment. Ouyang had already bought the room of the private house near the county government and slightly transformed it into an office and leisure place for the officials: "But remember that no one is allowed to touch this thing except yourself." Including your own mother. Otherwise, the year-end bonus will be abolished after deducting 50% of the 3 percentile. ”
"Yes!"
The target is divided into 10 meters, 30 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters and a moving target. Of course, the target is pulled by human run, and by the way, you can exercise your physical strength. At the range, a five-armed crossbow has been prepared for practice. The crossbow Ouyang is no stranger, and even in modern times there are still many areas of use. After Ouyang explained some more matters, let everyone practice well.
