Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 182

This lord...researched again?Last time I made a crossbow, I don't know what to invent this time!

"Let's focus on farming recently! How are those people farming?"

"My lord, with your [-] gold backing, plus some food from last autumn's harvest, the people and the army will have food for the time being! So the work is faster, and a lot of new fields have been reclaimed!"

"Furthermore, I have conducted investigations and found that these people admire the Lord's policies very much! The hearts of the people are also being stabilized! There will be no major accidents, and there will be no riots!"

There was sincere admiration in Xun Yu's eyes, because for these hundreds of thousands of people, Cao Cao was now in debt.

Worse than his life!He only owed a few tens of gold, but the other party owed tens of thousands.

And according to this situation, his debts will be much more!

But the effect is also very good, at least one praise!Most of the people in Chenliu County still have enough food and clothing.

"Hehe, it's good that the common people have enough to eat! I, Cao Cao, can't guarantee their prosperity, but I will do my best to let them have enough to eat!"

"Do those aristocratic families cooperate with selling food?"

Cao Cao has longing in his eyes, he hopes to turn his subordinates into a pure land!

"The surrounding aristocratic families were not very cooperative at the beginning. Cao Ren and Zhao Yun didn't receive much, so they refused to sell it!"

"But after Dian Wei and Wang Yue found out, they took the initiative to stand up and took them to collect them. When those aristocratic families saw them, they greeted them with smiles and treated them as guests of honor!"

There was surprise in Xun Yu's eyes, and Cao Cao was also puzzled.

"These two people... have such a good relationship with the family? I can't tell, they still have a good way of dealing with the family! Wen Ruo, do you know what method they used to make the family compromise?"

"The subordinates don't know, Cao Ren and Zhao Yun are also silent! Even the soldiers who transported food refused to tell! But every time they go out, they can return with a full load, and the price is very good!"

"Anyway, I heard from Zilong that they are very happy with the aristocratic family! It's just...I recently heard some small aristocratic families want to move away from Chenliu. I don't know how to do it!"

Cao Cao didn't care about this, it would be better to move away!In order to avoid trouble when the time comes to attack the family.

"In the future, let King Dianwei engage in diplomacy more, I think they are quite talented!"

"Who doesn't know that the aristocratic family is difficult to deal with? It turns out that the two of them get along so well, which is unexpected! From now on, the diplomatic power will be handed over to them!"

Cao Cao nodded in relief, and after saying goodbye to Xun Yu, he went straight home.

With Ding's group of wives, they started a life without shame or impatience!

Since he had two kidney tonifying medicines, he has regained his confidence!

……

Time flies, seven days have passed.

During these seven days, Cao Cao fed all the female wolves in the family to their full!

Having just practiced morning exercises, he went to Xia Houzhe's house refreshed and refreshed under the service of his wife.

"My dear brother! Have you changed my bow for me?"

At this moment, Xia Houzhe was lying on a chair with his mouth open, enjoying Zhang Ning and Lu Lingqi's feeding.

The second daughter sat obediently on his lap, peeling lychees and grapes for him.

There is also Cai Zhaoji playing the piano accompaniment to adjust the atmosphere!

Behind him is Xueyan, massaging his shoulders!

There is also a big yellow dog lying on the ground in front of him. This is exactly the one raised by Cao Cao's family.

Now in Xiahouzhe's yard, he not only built a pond with fishes, but also built a big rockery for decoration.

There are flower beds and saplings in the yard, and the environment is very good!It was all made by a few girls.

This situation, just like the old landlord, lived a life of corruption and luxury!

Cao Cao was so envious, he even wanted to hit someone!

This is riding a horse!I'm not as comfortable as you!

Every day for the people, for the army, and for the small money, I have broken my heart!

Good luck to you!I had a better time than anyone else!

Looking at this scene, Cao Cao was deeply moved!There is a reason why the other party doesn't like power!

If he was allowed to lie down for half a month without worrying, he wouldn't want to move anymore.

Moreover, he remembered a sentence that Xia Houzhe had chatted with him once.

Floating life is only a hundred, why bother to be so tired!

"Brother, are you here again? Have you eaten breakfast? If you haven't, go back and have a few bites before coming back! My family just finished eating, it's gone!"

Cao Cao has a black line:? ? ?

"I don't want to eat your food! I'll take a look at bows and arrows!"

"Oh! That thing is in my room, you go get it yourself, I'm too lazy to move!"

Xia Houzhe closed his eyes and waved his hands quite calmly.

Hearing this, Cao Cao looked happy, and didn't care about the other party's laziness and ignorance, and rushed into Xia Houzhe's room without hesitation.

But... a few minutes later, he came out with a strangely shaped bow, frowning.

"My dear brother, this thing...why is it so ugly? Why are there so many strings on the bow?"

Chapter 220 I Let You Improve Your Bow, You Get Me A Compound Bow

Looking at the bow, Cao Cao had a complex expression.

Ugly!It's too ugly!

"You know what! I seriously doubt your aesthetics! Doesn't my compound bow look better than your broken C-shaped bow?"

Xia Houzhe cursed quite dissatisfied!For this bow, he has been busy for many days!

It took two days to make those two discs!

In addition to polishing the bow tires, it is almost all done overtime.

Cough...Although the craftsmen he hired worked overtime, it was still considered overtime!

Now Cao Cao buried his bow as soon as he came up, of course he was not happy.

"Hey! Brother, why did you get two iron turntables for your bow?"

Cao Cao gently pulled the bowstring, and found it very difficult to pull, much harder than the bows in his army!

"That thing is used to save effort. With two plates, at least [-]% of the effort can be saved! In addition, two of the three strings you see are secondary strings!"

"You should know something about bows, right? Stems, horns, tendons, glue, silk, and lacquer are the most important things."

"This one is made of top-quality materials! The strings are made of top-quality deer tendon, the bow tires are made of top-quality yew wood! The horns are made of top-quality buffalo horns! Other things are all from your barracks."

Xia Houzhe gave Cao Cao a rough explanation.

There is no such thing as alloy in this era, and it is impossible to make metal composite bows of later generations.

But he can transform it into a bow made of yew according to the structure of the composite bow.

Although it is not as powerful as the metal bows of later generations, it is much more powerful than traditional bows!The range is also much longer.

After all, the current bow is a single-arm compound bow!It's just that ribs and corners are used in the material, and the structure is not, so the power and range are not strong.

Cao Cao looked at the structure of this bow and found that it was very different from the current standard bow.

Because when Xia Houzhe made it, he also borrowed some structures of the divine arm bows of the Song Dynasty.

Two layers of positive bow arms, one layer of reverse bow arms, a total of three layers!

In order to save some effort in pulling, he made two discs to serve as pulleys.

The entire bow is three feet three long, and the main string is two feet six long!

"This...is hard, it's ugly! It's not good-looking!"

Of course Cao Cao could see how extraordinary the bow was, but he just couldn't help but want to complain.

"Give it back to me if you don't want it! They make a bow, and they can't make it in a year. I tried my best and worked overtime to give you seven days to get it out. You still think this and that!"

Xia Houzhe couldn't take it anymore, and patted Lu Lingqi and Zhang Ning's buttocks, signaling them to get up.

Then he stretched out his hand, intending to snatch back the bow.

"Hey! Don't don't! Not ugly! Not ugly! As handsome as you!"

Cao Cao was in a hurry, and quickly hid the bow behind his back.

"Fart! Don't compare me with this bow! I'm much more handsome than him!"

Xia Houzhe cursed with a smile, because this bow...is really ugly!

The time is too short, he doesn't have time to design styles and polish, it's not bad to make a few blindly!

This is because he used his authority to let Cao Ying's craftsmen rush to make it overnight. More than [-] craftsmen made it separately!Grinding corners, making strings.

"I originally planned to give it to you, but you despise it so much, forget it! Return it to me!"

Xia Houzhe lay back down again, with a little girl in his hand, his expression looked extraordinarily frivolous.

Looking at this situation, Cao Cao looks like a poor boy who is begging for wealth and less work!

Cao Cao curled his lips: "It's just ugly, I don't even want to give it to me! But it's not for me, I'll try it for Qu Yi first!"

He didn't really like the appearance of this bow, but Xia Houzhe could understand it.

Just like the post-80s generation who couldn't understand the Sha Matt of the post-90s generation!

Too trendy (ugly)!

As soon as the words fell, Cao Cao took an arrow and ran to the backyard quickly, looking for a target to shoot at!

After some searching, he found an old hen in a tree!

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth are slightly raised, and the chicken delivered to the door will not shoot for nothing!

Holding the longbow in hand, Cao Cao retreated more than 200 meters, gritted his teeth, and pulled the bow with all his might.

At this time, he found a small circle on the body of the bow, and there was a cross inside.

He was stunned for a while, was this... aimed at?try first!

Cao Cao pointed the center of the circle at the queen whose ass was facing him, shouted loudly, let go of his hands, and shot out!

Boom...

The bowstring trembled suddenly, causing his left hand to go numb.

The off-string arrow shot at the hen on the tree with a whoosh.

"Giggle cluck..."

After the arrow pierced through the chicken's butt, it went straight into the tree behind.

Looking at the arrow and the dying old hen, Cao Cao was dumbfounded!

I can't believe it!

You actually hit it?What kind of luck?

He knows how bad his arrow skills are, let alone 200 meters, he can't hit 100 meters very much!

Well... that's luck!How could the bow and arrow aim?

Let me cum some more!

After Cao Cao drew his bow and shot a few more arrows, he was stunned!

It turns out that this cross can really assist aiming!

He lowered his head and looked at the ugly bow in his hand a few more times, and found that... this thing is really strong!

You must know that the current range of bows is generally about 150 meters, and the effective range is roughly 100 meters.

And this bow still has lethality at 200 meters!It can be said to be a magic bow!

Cao Cao was extremely shocked, this virtuous brother...

I stepped on the horse and asked you to improve the bow, but you got me a super compound bow!Do you want to be so strong?
