Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 52 Thriving
Chapter 53 Thriving

Jin Yang had no intention of getting involved in the disputes in the palace, and didn't talk to him, the eldest prince saw that he didn't talk to him, so he shut up.

Under the improvement of the two people, the bed crossbow was reduced to the size of a guillotine for horses, so that one person can resist and two people can complete the battle.Using the principle of the rope tightener, a single person can load a duck-egg-thick iron-headed crossbow, and the single-launching unit is designed as two layers of the same upper and lower parts, which can be fired at a time, and turned over after firing, and can be fired at the same time. Another single from one side.

The farthest launch can reach [-] steps. When launching, one person aims at one person to hit the teeth (pull the trigger) to launch.It can also be operated by a single person who targets crowded targets first and then fires.As long as the beef tendon is hinged to the tightest point, the spring force and inertia of the fired crossbow arrows are enough to penetrate the human body. If there are two unlucky people next to each other, they may be penetrated one after another and become candied haws.

In May, the fine iron that Jin Yang ordered at a high price in Liangshan Port arrived. Along with the fine iron, there were also three hundred pieces of red smooth sheepskin made in Luocha, which Liu Tao requested. In the summer, there was no income from shoes.

Five hundred catties of refined iron was smuggled over by the Raksha people at risk.If the chainring of the rope tensioner for making bed crossbows is not made of refined iron, the quality cannot be guaranteed. The domestically produced ordinary wrought iron will wear out in a short time. The chainring is equivalent to the buckle that locks the chainring. As for the trigger of firearms, the rigidity requirement is extremely high, and it can only be made of refined iron (steel) that has been quenched in stages.

For the expensive bed crossbow, Jin Yang spared no expense, and even the First Prince admired him for this.Jin Yang only makes fine steel bows, chainrings and clamping teeth. Other craftsmen make the thick iron chassis and back seat of the bed crossbow according to the samples. These large parts are both labor-intensive and wasteful. But it is not strict, ordinary iron can be substituted, these bulky parts are made in the big workshop of the Ministry of War, the tooth plate and the clamping teeth are taken and placed to form a complete set of bed crossbows, Jin Yang can make it in a month Three hundred sets were ordered.The bed crossbow and cavalry boots brought them huge profits, and a lot of silver fell into the purse.

Jin Yang was still dissatisfied with these, and promised a high price to their merchant ships, and must ship a lot of this refined iron. If the price is not satisfactory, there is still some negotiating.With this promise, a steady stream of refined iron has been shipped in. Although the amount shipped each time is relatively small, the price is the long flow of water.

At this time, Jin Yang improved the bed crossbow. The bow back of the crossbow is made of a thin tree trunk called ash rod, and there are also wattles of sufficient size. The elasticity and flexibility of the wattle are better than that of the ash rod. However, Vitex grows slowly, and it is rare to meet the specifications.

Seeing that Jin Yang had accumulated a lot of refined iron, in addition to making a few more sewing machines, he also specially made a refined iron crossbow arrowhead to replace the white wax rod or vitex.This kind of bed crossbow with good rigidity increases the range of 600 meters by 300 meters at once, which can deal heavy damage to large groups of cavalry in the distance.It's just that it consumes too much refined iron and cannot be produced in large quantities, so he only produced six.

During this period, an elbow shield covered by clothes was also produced. This elbow shield was secretly tied to the left forearm of the soldier, protecting the entire forearm and elbow. When facing the enemy, the left forearm was deliberately used to resist the enemy's knife. While slashing, stab the enemy's vitals with your own blade. The enemy who doesn't know the truth thinks that his scimitar hits the enemy's arm, and the opponent will be seriously injured and unable to fight back.If you are too happy to withdraw your weapon in time, you will often be killed by the enemy's next serial move.

The third uncle came to Beijing with Mr. Xu's caravan and brought a carload of high-quality fur goods, leopard, mink, fox, raccoon... There are seven or eight varieties in total. Liu Tao looked at these high-quality furs I am very satisfied, and I can change it into a leather jacket for money as soon as the weather cools down.The second cousin who came with her also saw that Liu Tao bought the big house in such a short period of time, and her several businesses were flourishing, so she couldn't help but get jealous.

As for the second cousin who is only a few years older than herself, because the couple have no bad intentions, they are very different from the elder sister Liu Jiaojiao and others from the same family. Liu Tao and Jin Yang have the intention to support them.

Jin Yang said to her: "Second cousin, why didn't second cousin's husband come?"

"He makes dairy products at home. Now he has five cows and has hired two hired workers to help. I have to thank you and Liu Tao. If you don't teach us how to make milk, we won't be able to get rich So fast!"

"Second cousin, you see that there are plenty of houses in my house. You and your cousin-in-law should come to the capital. The cows can be raised with ours, and the cows will be counted as shares for you. The cousin-in-law can get out of the house and go to the port trade. You know, Doing business with foreigners is even more profitable. I paid for him to set up a caravan, which counts as [-]% of his shares. The goods are brought between the capital and the port, and there are no empty loads when they come and go. It is better than a single operation of dairy cows. A lot..."

"Okay, Jin Yang, I'll discuss it with your cousin-in-law when I get back, and after the discussion, I'll move the whole family here!"

The third uncle talked about what happened after they left. He said: "Since you left, your grandma found out that your family had moved away and cheated the bull away. Of course she was very angry. I found you I want to live in the house in the name of looking after your house, but your second uncle kicked me out. But she yelled for your second uncle to give you money, so I explained to her, "Isn't my second brother just before leaving?" Did I give you 20 taels of silver, enough for you to buy a horse, isn’t a horse-drawn carriage more elegant than an ox cart?” Then she changed her mind and bought a horse later.”

The third uncle smiled and continued: "The shrimp pond was also sold to your second uncle, but your second uncle only gave her five taels of silver. Even if your grandma wanted to sell it at a high price, she couldn't sell it, because no one I will buy it, but your grandma begged your second uncle to buy it later..."

Liu Tao teased: "Haha, my grandma didn't work in vain in her life. Not only did she have money to buy meat, but she was also able to ride in a BMW car. It's quite a sight!"

The third uncle didn't know anything about grandma and aunt's love affair, and thought Liu Tao was praising her, so he laughed "hahahaha" along with Liu Tao.

It's summer now, and the third uncle's house still has land to plant, so he went back after staying for two days.Liu Tao began to study how to turn these skins into high-end fur goods.At present, there are roughly three styles of leather clothing in the capital. The most used material is the cloak, followed by the coat and half coat.Liu Tao carefully designed and produced three types of six varieties of leather clothing. In addition, he also made use of leftover materials and made high-end leather gloves for women with fur.

The last time Mr. Jia asked Wu Chenxi to make trouble, stealing chickens won’t make a fortune. Wu Chenxi went back and said that when they made trouble, the eldest prince happened to be drinking at Jin Yang’s house. After hearing what the eldest prince asked Wu Chenxi to bring him, he was so frightened He almost lost his breath, only then did he realize that he kicked with all his strength and hit the iron plate, and never dared to see Jin Yang's face again.Whenever he went out of the city, he walked around the Jin Mansion, for fear that he would be unable to face Jin Yang and Liu Tao when he saw them.

This time, with the big backer of the eldest prince to back him up, except for the third prince who came here from time to time to blackmail some small money, he didn't come to make trouble anymore.Jinfu's business began to flourish, and the two stepped into the fast lane of making money.
