Chapter 18: Snake Bone Bow, Wolf Fang Pendant

After choosing the location of the temple, everyone was not in a hurry to return to the village. Zhao Zhen directed everyone to measure the size of the mountain top and the location of the trees, and marked them one by one on paper.

After a few days, they returned to the main world, asked someone to design the blueprint, and then built it.

Riding on the moonlight, everyone rode on the horses and returned to the village with laughter. Zhao Yuanli prepared a banquet early.

It was inevitable that they pushed cups and changed cups until late at night, and then went to rest.

During the day, Zhao Zhen took advantage of the coolness in the morning and evening to practice martial arts with the three heroes, visit several construction sites in turn, and feast with Guanghui, Jiao Ting, and Han Boling at night. The four became closer.

Two days later, Zhao Zhen saw that Jiao Ting had only a few old clothes, and took turns to replace them. He took out 3 pieces of ramie cloth and 3 pieces of satin, called the needleworkers, and immediately measured and tailored clothes, and made four new clothes for each of them.

The three heroes were originally interested in showing off their skills, and seeing that Zhao Zhen respected them very much, they became more serious about their work.

That day, after Guanghui and others finished practicing martial arts, they agreed to go to the hill on the north side. But it was because they were too quiet that they wanted to move, and they were happy to see prey. Since they had seen many pheasants and rabbits in the hill, they wanted to go hunting.

Zhao Zhen felt hot and declined. Zhao Zhen had never seen the three people practicing bows and arrows, and didn't know how much they could gain. After Guanghui left, Zhao Zhen asked the farmhand to bring a chair and sat under the willow tree in the east courtyard to cool off.

While thinking about how to develop, Zhao Yuanli led Li Gu to approach.

Li Gu held a few things in his hand and handed them over one by one. Two snake bone bows, two snake bones and a wolf tooth pendant.

"How much bow power is there? Can you weigh it?" Zhao Zhen took it and asked.

World Log

Snake Bone Bow (made from the ribs of a level 3 green water python, with a string made of beef tendons, less than 5 feet long)

Feature 1: Bow for horseback archery, short bow, good for horseback archery

Feature 2: Long range, 60 steps.

"Cuiwei Beizhenglu" records: There are thirty-six military weapons, and the bow is the most important. There are eighteen martial arts, and the bow is the first. Foot archery bow: All armies use one shuo and one dou, one shuo and one dou, all of which are useless. Nine dou, eight dou, and seven dou are used in combination; Horseback archery bow: All armies use one shuo and nine dou, all of which are useless. Eight dou, seven dou, and six dou are used in combination.

Therefore, the bow needs to be measured to see if it is suitable. Small or large force cannot be used as a weapon to equip the army. Weak force can be used as a hunting bow, and strong force needs to be used with strongmen.

"The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" says: When making a bow, the weight is determined by the strength of the person. The upper force is 120 jin, and more than this is tiger force, which is not counted. The middle force is reduced by 20% to 30%, and the lower force is half.

"It has not been measured yet." Li Gu replied.

Zhao Zhen immediately asked Zhao Yuanli to bring a scale and test it.

First, put the bow string down and the bow body up, hook the bow body with the scale hook, and hang the scale on a wooden pole carried by two farmhands. Step on the bow string until it is full, push the weight, and the place where it is hung is the size of the force. Both bows were measured, and they were both six-dou bows.

Zhao Zhen asked again: "If an apprentice makes it, can he do it?"

"Master, this bow is different from the ancient ones. "Dongguan Kaogongji·Bowman" records: bowmen must select the six materials in season. After the six materials are gathered, they are skillfully harmonized. For making a bow, in winter, the stems are separated and the horns are melted in spring. In summer, the tendons are processed. In autumn, the three materials are combined. In winter, the body is laid, and in ice, the bow is separated. It is easy to separate the stems in winter, to melt the horns in spring, to process the tendons in summer, to combine the three materials in autumn, to lay the body in winter, to lay the body without flowing, to separate the bow in ice, to examine the ring, and to string the bow in spring. It takes a year to make the bow and the arrow. This bow cannot be made without a bow maker."

"Snake bone bow, the bow power depends entirely on the snake bone and the tendon itself. So an apprentice can also make it. The bow body handle is polished smooth and does not damage the bow body. There are not many bow strings in the rubber farm, so you need to buy them."

"Very good, very good." Zhao Zhen praised and looked at the two snake bones again.

World Log

Green Water Python Bone (Second-Level Material)

This bone is made by collecting the essence of heaven and earth and gathering the spiritual energy of the sun and moon. Toughness +1.

Li ​​Gu said: "Master, I have looked at all the snake bones. Only these two bones are different from others. They are twice as heavy and have become foreign objects. Although I can make a bow, I am afraid that I cannot make a precious bow. It would be safest if Master could find a bow maker."

Zhao Zhen nodded and asked Zhao Yuanli to take it to the warehouse first and put it together with the bluestone. Finally, he picked up the wolf tooth pendant.

Wolf tooth pendant (treasure, the upper part is Cangfeng and the lower part is Batian. The teeth of Cangfeng are dome-like and sharp. There are bloody horizontal lines on the tip of the teeth, which are decorated with silver. The teeth of the wolf king command the wolves)

Effect 1: Bravery, strength +1.

Effect 2: Ward off evil spirits, spirit +1.

Effect 3: Fear of power, the sharp teeth of the wolf are engraved with animal patterns, which are intimidating and easy to get canine creatures to serve.

Zhao Zhen was more and more happy after seeing it. He put it on his neck and said to Li Gu, "Mr. Li, your craftsmanship is really superb. I wonder if you can recruit apprentices?"

"More than ten young men with tied hair have come. They are still learning to identify materials and familiarize themselves with tools. They can start polishing bone bows in three to five days."

"Very good. I'd like to trouble Mr. Li to pay more attention to the bone workshop. From now on, you will be in charge of the workshop."

"Thank you, Master. I will definitely do my best. Hey, since I got pneumoconiosis, I have no food or clothing. I wanted to come here to make a living. I didn't expect that the master valued me so much. I am willing to work hard and pass on all my skills so that the workshop can produce some products as soon as possible." After saying this, he burst into tears. He was so excited that he couldn't help coughing and panting again.

Zhao Zhen stepped forward and stroked his back, which relieved him a little. He told him not to worry, to gradually train apprentices and run the business slowly. After Li Gu calmed down a little, Zhao Zhen said, "Today I have nothing to do, so I can go to the workshop to have a look."

The three pushed the door open and entered. They saw the young men divided into two groups, each holding a snake bone to fiddle with. Seeing Li Gu bringing Zhao Zhen in, the apprentices put down the snake bones, stood up to greet Zhao Zhen first, and then saluted Li Gu as their teacher. Li Gu pointed to the two apprentices in the front and said, "These two have the best sense of bones. The two mutant snake bones were discovered by these two. They are now the apprentice leaders, each in charge of 5 people."

World Log

Tang Shu (son of the steward Tang Sen), Ding Yi (son of the steward Ding Chou)

Bone carving apprentice

The two people did behave more decently than others. At least there is some family heritage.

Why do you think the steward's son is willing to be an apprentice? You must know that craftsmen are much better than farmers. Craftsmen always have better income than farmers, higher status, and much easier work.

Since Xixi Village became an independent village, it is the first time that apprentices have been recruited. Farmers do all the repairs and hammering by themselves. As soon as the recruitment information was released, teenagers aged fifteen or sixteen came in droves accompanied by their parents. After selection, these 12 teenagers were left.

Zhao Zhen encouraged the apprentices and asked them to learn their skills with peace of mind. During the apprenticeship, they were paid 100 to 200 coins per month according to their performance. After they graduated, they were hired by the workshops in the village and paid according to their skills.

After visiting the workshops, Zhao Zhen, accompanied by Zhao Yuanli, went to see the renovation of the tavern. Two adjacent courtyards were connected, and Yun Ge was cleaning up with several farmers. The houses were ready-made, and they could be open for business in three to five days after some renovations.
