0088 [Bai Er's Offering]
The afterglow of the sun reflected on the Heavenly King's armor, shining with golden-red light.
Zhu Ming pressed the front end of the helmet and pulled down the armor violently.
The armor is also golden, with only holes in the eyes and mouth, and the surface is plated with copper as if it were gold.
When you wear this thing, it looks even more ...... Terror!
It's really terrifying, it was majestic before, but now it's terrifying.
The smell of King Kong's angry eyes was instantaneous, and a powerful deterrent came to his face.
Bai Sheng, Tian Er and the others only glanced up, and then suddenly lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly. It was as if under the armor, there was really a heavenly king, who was about to raise his sword to kill the guilty.
Zhang Guangdao's performance was slightly better, but his hair stood on end. At the same time, he was confused, such armor costs a lot of money, where did Zhu Ming get it? And how did it hide on the cliff?
It's very difficult to get it down, how much manpower does it take to get it up?
Could it be that the king of heaven really gave the treasure armor in his dreams?
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Guangdao went from not believing it at all, to becoming suspicious.
The armor was too heavy to wear back on.
Zhu Ming said: "Bai Sheng, come and help me remove my armor!" ”
"Huh? Ok, good, good! ”
Bai Sheng finally came back to his senses, and while helping, he said, "Brother Zhu, I was frightened just now. It's okay not to cover your face, but covering your face is like eating people. ”
In fact, this is a bit similar to the "uncanny valley effect", which is the mental impact brought by anthropomorphic vision.
If you don't feel it, you can go to the temple by yourself and stand under the statue of the Heavenly King for a few more seconds.
Lu Wan helped put the armor back into the cardboard box, and after putting it in, he couldn't help but touch it twice. Tian San also came over to touch it, but he didn't know if it was out of curiosity or if he wanted to touch the immortal aura of the Heavenly King.
The same thing was carried to the ship.
The electronics were also fetched, but they didn't seem to be of much use, not as good as the plastic lighter I picked up in the car.
A few bottles of Moutai can only be drunk because they are all porcelain bottles.
Alas, how good it would be if Moutai was bottled in glass!
Although the Song Dynasty was able to make glass, there were many impurities, all of which were colored. Transparent glass wine bottles can definitely sell for a lot of money.
Everyone rowed back in a small boat, but Zhu Ming did not deliberately publicize it, nor did he let everyone keep it secret.
Let it be, it will gradually spread, and the story of the Heavenly King giving the treasure armor in his dream will inevitably spread throughout the village within a month.
Zhu Ming asked people to carry the armor to his bedroom and put it in a large box and lock it. After pondering carefully, I put charcoal in the box to absorb water, and took it out to wipe it every once in a while in the future.
Got everything done, lay down and went to sleep, I'm tired these days.
Zhang Guangdao really couldn't figure it out, and the more he thought about it, the more entangled he became. Early the next morning, I couldn't help but come to Zhu Ming: "Brother Zhu, this pair of Heavenly King Treasure Armor, didn't you really put it on before?" ”
"It must have been put on." Zhu Ming said with a smile.
This answer made Zhang Guangdao even more unconvinced, he always felt that Zhu Ming was deliberately covering up something.
Zhu Ming took a pair of bows and arrows and pulled Zhang Guangdao out: "Before going down the mountain to get the treasure armor, I asked people to make an arrow target, just to ask Zhang Sange for archery advice." ”
Zhang Guangdao could only put away the doubts in his heart and said: "This is a Huangsang (Zhemu) bow, Yang Jun made it himself, it doesn't shoot too far, and the accuracy is not good." Really good bows, the county seat, the state city has not been sold, I heard that there is a bow and arrow shop in Xingyuan Mansion. ”
If the supplementary regulations of the previous emperors were ignored, the Song Dynasty allowed the private to possess bows and arrows, but the manufacture and sale of bows and arrows required a special business license.
The wooden bow in Zhu Ming's hand did not use composite materials, and the arrow shaft was extremely simple, and it was still a little fluttery after being shot.
Effective range, up to ten meters.
Zhu Ming thought in his heart, he had to find a time to go to Xingyuan Mansion (Hanzhong) and spend money to buy a good bow and come back to practice.
The martial arts arena has also been restored, and it is the place where the bandit leaders practice martial arts with the old thieves.
There are no training equipment, just a few stone locks.
Bai Sheng didn't have much strength, and the five-pound small stone lock was panting after a few lifts.
It's not as good as Tian Er, one in one hand, pulling back and forth, and being able to play for a while.
"Third Brother Zhang shows his hand!" Bai Sheng can't do it himself, but he is very active when he looks at the excitement.
Zhang Guangdao moved his hands and feet, with a large stone lock in one hand, and each stone lock weighed 20 pounds.
Not only simple lifting, but also a variety of movements to achieve the effect of exercising the muscles and bones of the whole body.
"Good!"
Zhang Guangdao's performance attracted bursts of applause.
Zhu Ming's eyes were hot: "Third Brother Zhang will teach me to play a trick." ”
Zhang Guangdao handed over the stone lock and said with a smile: "It's not easy to teach, you can play whatever you want." ”
Zhu Ming's food has been getting better and better recently, especially in the days when he accompanied Lu Ti to study, he could eat meat every meal. The physique that has been improved after crossing has reached its peak state at this time, and the twenty-pound stone lock is in his hand, and he doesn't feel particularly heavy.
He imitated Zhang Guangdao, used the stone lock to make various moves, and then threw the stone lock: "Tian Er, you find someone to chisel a pair of heavier ones." ”
"Anything heavier?" Tian Er was surprised.
"Thirty pounds." Zhu Ming said the request.
Everyone was speechless, and then they thought of the Heavenly King Treasure Armor, and immediately gave birth to more ideas.
After playing with the stone lock, he began to practice swordsmanship again, and then practiced horseback riding.
Zhu Ming also brought the mare and said to Zhang Guangdao: "Third Brother Zhang has worked hard to recruit escapees, and if you can recruit another 300 people within this year, this horse will be given to Third Brother Zhang." ”
"Really?" Zhang Guangdao's eyes became fiery.
Zhu Ming smiled: "When did I cheat?" ”
Zhang Guangdao stopped practicing martial arts, threw down his weapon and said, "I'll go down the mountain!" ”
Tian Er, Tian San and others can only express envy. They are not familiar with the fugitives, even if they promise more benefits, no fugitives will believe it, and it is estimated that no one will be able to recruit them back.
Bai Sheng's eyes rolled, and he said, "Zhu Da...... Village head, I have a way to recruit people. ”
Zhu Ming came to the spirit: "Say it quickly!" ”
Bai Sheng said: "I have a few brothers in Baishitou, and they are willing to bring their families over. ”
Zhu Ming shook his head: "These people are all scoundrels, what do I want them to do?" Don't spoil the atmosphere of Daming Village! ”
Bai Sheng was a little speechless, and thought: This place used to be full of bandits, but it was much worse than the style of splashing.
Bai Sheng explained: "My brothers usually have to do things. The white market is so small, and there are mostly shops outside the two white staff, and they have starved to death by extortion. None of them had any land at home, so they worked as tenants for some of the landlords, and had to work part-time jobs to earn a living. ”
"That's okay," Zhu Ming said, "tell them that when they come to Daming Village, they must not make any more trouble, otherwise they will be driven out!" ”
Bai Sheng said: "That's how it should be. ”
Zhu Ming asked again: "How many people are in your family?" ”
Bai Sheng thought about it in his heart: "Counting the dolls, there are eighteen in total." In the past, they still owed debts and couldn't go casually, but the old white clerks burned the IOUs, and now they are not afraid of anything. ”
Zhu Ming couldn't help laughing when he heard this, Bai Zongwang burned the IOU in order to quickly win people's hearts.
But he didn't think about it, and gave it to Zhu Ming's eighteen people in vain.
Bai Sheng said again: "Zhao Langzhong's apprentices, as well as my brothers, will not be able to come over until after the autumn harvest." ”
"That's as it should be." Zhu Ming expressed understanding.
Those people were tenants of the land, and even the medical apprentice had a few acres of thin land in his own house. The grain has already been planted, and it will definitely wait for the autumn harvest, and it is impossible to leave everything and run away.
Zhu Ming asked, "That's how you recruit people?" ”
Bai Sheng said with a smile: "The village chief still remembers that we went into the city to be archers, and there were many dilapidated thatched houses outside the city. ”
Zhu Ming was only thinking about how to attack the city at that time, but at this moment, he was reminded by Bai Shengyi, and immediately reacted: "It's a good brain, this time you have made a great contribution!" ”
The county seat of Xixiang County is extremely small, and there are large shantytowns outside the city.
Most of the people there were landless peasants who had gone to the cities to work and earn a living, and some of them had multiplied for generations.
Zhu Ming instructed: "You go outside the county town and tell the poor people there, just say that the day before yesterday, the officers and soldiers suppressed the thieves, and too many people died in Heifeng Village." Zhu Dutou planned to resume production, but there were not enough farmers to farm. As long as they are willing to come, they will immediately give the land and seeds, not a loan, but give them for free. ”
"Someone must be willing to come." Bai Sheng said.
Zhu Ming promised: "If you recruit one, I will give you a reward of fifty yuan." For every thirty moves, you will be given an extra acre of land. Remember, you can't rob people, you have to let them go. ”
Hearing that he could also reward land, Bai Sheng was very happy, and said happily: "How dare I go to the county seat to rob people?" ”
Zhang Guangdao and Bai Sheng both went down the mountain to do the task.
Zhu Ming was really bored staying in the mountains, and after two days, he decided to go back to Shangbai Village to see his father, and he also took a piece of China with him.
Walking through the village, I found that the villagers were busy.
The mountainous terrain farther away from the riverbank is almost entirely planted with corn, with occasional patches of sorghum interspersed.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the temperature was low, and it was impossible to grow two crops of corn a year. At this time, the corn is about to be tasseled and needs to be replenished for irrigation, and almost the whole family of the villagers is dispatching, even the children are carrying water.
Bucket by bucket, pick up the slopes from afar, and the production efficiency is too low.
Due to the topography, the canal could not be repaired.
Zhu Ming didn't understand this at all, and decided to ask his father how to build water conservancy facilities.
Back in Shangbai Village, the villagers I met along the way still greeted me so warmly.
walked outside the courtyard of Shen Yourong's house and found that it was quite lively inside.
The little fat man Zheng Hong's personal entourage is also there, probably to pay the balance of the lake pen.
There is another young man, dressed as a scholar, who looks a little similar to Shen Yourong, probably the brother of his stepmother.
There were outsiders present, Zhu Ming honestly called his father, and by the way, he raised the Chinese cigarette in his hand.
Zhu Guoxiang, as an old smoker, saw China the moment he saw it, his eyes glowed green, like a wild wolf who had been hungry for three days.
The lighter in my arms is ready to move!
Zhu Guoxiang swallowed his saliva violently, suppressed the surging addiction to smoking, and introduced with a smile: "Come over with success, this is your uncle." ”
Well, there were a bunch of uncles before the crossing, and now there is another one.
Zhu Guoxiang saw that his son was a little reluctant, and continued: "In your uncle's village, there are scholars who have sold out their land, and they can't find any other livelihood. Just now we were discussing asking your uncle to invite people to Daming Village. ”
Can you get a reader?
Zhu Ming stepped forward quickly and said shamelessly: "Uncle is above, please accept the nephew's worship!" ”
