Spring of the second year of Gengshi

Wuhuan Shan Yuting

Today, Wuhuan Shanyuting has a group of special guests.

The group of guests consisted of a girl and four young men.

The four young men are fully armored, with cowhide cloth gloves inlaid with iron armor pieces, the gloves are stuffed with woolen fleece, and hideous horror iron masks are on their faces. Only a pair of eyes are exposed, and they hold a The ring head knife is very tall and straight (185cm).

That girl has a cold face, and there is a cute little dimple on her cheek when she smiles, and she is much taller than ordinary girls (175cm).

The girl was wearing a woolen fur coat, and inside the fur coat was a fire-resistant and waterproof fire-proof coat. Inside the coat, she wore a soft armor woven from spider silk, and inside the spider silk soft armor was a The thick silk garment woven from lotus root silk is worn inside the lotus root silk garment, which is fitted with a thin and light golden silk garment woven from silk.

Huotan clothing is forged from rare asbestos ore. It is fireproof and waterproof. It will not be damaged if it is roasted in the flames, and it will not be soaked in water. Wearing this kind of clothing, you can fight in battle, even if you are in danger. When encountering a burning camp, he can calmly escape from the fire, which can be described as a life-saving magic garment.

Such clothes can be said to be priceless, and even if they have money, they can't buy them. It is the wisdom of countless craftsmen gathered by the Wang family and the inexhaustible wealth of the manor that they barely made a few pieces. Currently, only the core members of the Wang family in Liaodong are eligible to wear them.

If you have to buy it, a piece of Huotan clothing may be worth tens of millions of baht, while the sum of all the family properties of an ordinary Central Plains tycoon is usually only tens of millions of baht.

The girl did not wear golden branches and jade hairpins on her head like the Central Plains women, nor did she tie her hair up, but let her hair loose, and wore a flower hat on her head, which was wrapped with gold thread and silk, and the outer layer was spun with many Mink fur.

He also didn't wear the undercoat of the Central Plains, but wore trousers that didn't look very decent. The innermost layer of the trousers was also a silk silk garment, then a thin cloth garment, and then a spider silk soft armor on the outside. The first layer is another firecoat, and the outermost is a pair of woolen trousers.

The spider silk armor is made of spider silk, and a single spider silk armor needs to consume all the spider silk of millions of adult spiders for a month.

Spider silk is tougher than silk, and although it is not as smooth as silk, the clothes it makes can be used as armor, which is invulnerable, and the spider silk soft armor, which weighs about the same as ordinary clothes, has the same defense against iron weapons as a piece of heavy armor. almost.

If you wear heavy armor, you have to give up speed, and it is easy to be kited. Heavy cavalry cannot catch up with light cavalry.
But the spider silk soft armor has no such concerns. With the same defense, the speed is still the same as that of light cavalry without armor. It can be said that it combines the speed of light cavalry with the defense of heavy cavalry.

But the spider silk soft armor also has its own flaws.

That is, they are afraid of fire and water. Since spider silk is made of protein, it will easily melt when it encounters flames, and it will also decompose when it encounters water.

Therefore, in addition to the spider silk soft armor, an additional fire-thane coat has to be put on to prevent fire and water.

Not only do you need to wear a hethane suit, but the spider silk soft armor itself has a layer of hethane coat wrapped around the outer layer.

Huotan clothing is mainly because it is difficult to make and the raw materials are difficult to find.

And the soft armor of spider silk is mainly because the collection of spider silk is too troublesome.

Although the silk spun by spiders is better than that of silkworms, the amount of silk spun by spiders is very small. The amount of silk spun by a silkworm in a lifetime is fifty times that of a spider in a lifetime.

Moreover, spider silk is thinner than silk, and under the same amount, spider silk is much lighter than silk.

Therefore, the silk-spinning effect of an average of three hundred spiders is equivalent to that of one silkworm.

Moreover, silkworms can only eat mulberry leaves, and they will not run around, and they are not poisonous. Spiders eat meat, and they can run around, and they are also poisonous.

A maid of the Wang family was bitten by a golden-blue spider while collecting spider silk, and died of poison not long after.

There is no technical difficulty in making the spider silk soft armor. The Central Plains region also has such technology. Some of them are just a huge amount of labor, which requires a lot of wealth and manpower to collect the extremely rare spider silk.

It only costs tens of thousands of dollars to make a piece of heavy armor, and even a heavy armor made of high-quality refined iron only costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even the unique heavy armor specially customized for generals costs a million A lot of money is totally enough.

And to make a spider silk soft armor, it costs at least 500 million yuan, which does not count the cycle of making the spider silk soft armor.

Therefore, in consideration of cost and cycle time, the Central Plains did not use spider silk soft armor as defensive equipment.

Even the Wang family barely made six pieces of spider silk soft armor in more than ten years.

The spider silk soft armor is also not for sale. If it is sold, it is also worth tens of millions of dollars.

The girl was wearing a pair of cowhide boots, and the cowhide was made from the vertebrae of three or four-year-old calves.

The hide of a calf is more resilient than the hide of an older cow and is less prone to splitting.

The hide where the spine is located is the best hide in the cowhide, while the top layer of hide has more nerve fibers and is more elastic than ordinary hide.

The girl's cowhide boots only use the best cowhide, and all other cowhide is used to make ordinary cowhide gloves, and then the ordinary cowhide gloves are given to the soldiers for use.

Although the killing of cattle is prohibited, it is a prohibition on civilians. Children of the Wang family can apply for slaughtering cattle, and the Wang family will also specifically kill cattle to make equipment for the family members and soldiers.

But generally all cowhide is used and cannot be wasted.

It is rare for a girl to use only the best cowhide, which shows that the identity of a girl is extraordinary.

To make such a pair of cowhide boots worn by girls, four hundred calves need to be slaughtered.

The cost of cowhide alone is 200 million yuan, which is enough for a self-cultivating farmer to live comfortably for 400 years, or for a commoner who looks down on books to be able to afford a few books, and then advance to a poor family.

And the inner layer of this pair of cowhide boots is also stuffed with woolen fleece, and there is actually a spider silk soft armor and a fire jacket inside the boots.

This pair of boots alone is worth 2000 million dollars.

In addition to the other clothes on her body, although the girl's clothes look plain and unpretentious, not as gorgeous as the silk clothes of the Central Plains women, they are countless times more precious than the silk clothes worn by the Central Plains women.

The clothes on the girl are worth a total of 7000 million five baht.

7000 million five baht is enough to support the court to launch a small-scale battle of [-] cavalry against the Xiongnu.

But now, it was just a few pieces of clothing worn by the girl.

Her name is Wang Yan, and she is the granddaughter of the head of the family, Wang Yan.

The previous patriarch, Wang Tong, died of illness last year, and he happened to die on the same day as Wang Mang.

Wang Tong and Wang Mang may have a lot to talk about in the underworld.

After all, it was Wang Tong who recommended Wang Mang to be the superior in order to let Wang Mang take the blame.

The previous patriarch, Wang Tong, had no children, so before his death, Ma Han prefect Wang Yan, who had made great contributions to the family, was appointed as the new patriarch.

After the new patriarch Wang Yan succeeded to the throne, he greatly improved the status of female members of the family and designated his grandson, Queen Wang, as the heir of the patriarch.

It is precisely because she is the heir of the head of the family that she can be allocated such a huge wealth. Just a piece of clothing is worth tens of millions of dollars.

As the heir of the family head, Wang Bian naturally wanted to make contributions to the family, so she came to Wuhuan Shanyu Court to discuss the specific matters of smuggling trade with Wuhuan people.
