Chapter 56 Anti-riot equipment

"Each household has 100 ci, and the county has a total of 61,000 households, with a total of 6100 million ci, equivalent to 6100 ci. The wealthy businessmen in the city and the gentry in various places have raised another 2,000 ci, totaling 8,100 ci. Three thousand ci, of which have been exchanged into 260 taels of gold as the commander of the adults. The rest are enshrined in the official treasury." Gan Xin finished reporting.

Eight thousand taels of silver, more than seven hundred taels of gold, and there is no illegal money... a small amount of money! Ouyang confessed: "Thank you for your hard work these days, I have given you a hundred coins to everyone. The rest will not be made. Ou Ping will take twenty taels of gold to the Ganzhu for thinness in a while. Seeing that the thin ones are as thin as a chicken, he should also replenish his body."

"Sir, Xie." Gan Xin burst into tears and snot after hearing this. This call was more than 300 guan and more than 30,000 kilograms of rice, which was enough to eat for a lifetime.

"Xiao Gan, you can't make enough money. The key is how to make money. Remember to keep this matter confidential, even your wife."

Ouyang said that as soon as he finished, someone knocked on the door of the study and a yamen runner reported: "Sir, someone is looking for you."

...

Ouyang's body had just appeared in the court. Outside the court, there were sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums that moved the world. Master Su took the lead. Four strong boys behind him carried a plaque with the words: Work diligently for the people. Then there were a group of gentry and a large group of people watching the fun.

Ouyang smiled and bowed: "How can you be so embarrassed?"

Mr. Su returned the gift: "It should be."

"Come in. Master Su is talking." Ouyang pulled Master Su to the side and said, "This time I bought the official and Wang Wenqing for a total of more than 6,000 guan. There are still two thousand guan left, do you see?"

"Sir..."

Ouyang Zhengse interrupted: "It is the duty of this official to seek welfare for the people, and this official will provide for it by the court. Taking money like this is not equivalent to corruption? Never destroy my reputation."

"Well, I am proud of my great honor. It is really a blessing for the people to have the parents of Yangping." Mr. Su exclaimed and turned around and shouted, "Everyone is quiet, the Lord said, I want to return the remaining 2,000 guan to us. Can we ask?"

"No!" Several squire said hurriedly: "My lord is running around for this matter..."

"How about this, I believe it."

"Subordinate is here."

"The two thousand yuan was deposited into the private funds, and the funds were used exclusively. No one is allowed to withdraw them privately."

"yes!"

Ouyang said to the gentry: "I think it is better to take out a thousand guan to hire local people to build bridges and pave roads after the busy farming. First, it will take it from the people and use it for the people. Second, it will also allow everyone to make some money to supplement their family income. This money is the money of the people, and you must listen to your meaning."

"Great good, great good." The squire nodded and said that they would do their part.

"I will save one thousand guan, and I will save it first. When I need it, I will definitely take out a lot of money."

...

"Bastard!" Liu Sinu was furious and furious. Unexpectedly, his own desperate plan actually helped Ouyang.

Liu San was on the side and said, "Master, the young man didn't expect this kid to invite Wang Wenqing to come forward. You know, Wang Wenqing claims to be noble and the powerful people in the court are not to mention flattering, but it is difficult for him to meet him."

"I'm not thinking about why, but what to do." Liu Sinu said: "Seeing that people are now in the will of the people, we raise a group of ungrateful wolves in vain, and they are always complained behind their backs. And now his subordinates are more loyal than dogs, and they want to call him his father."

Liu San's eyes turned and asked carefully: "Master, do you want to contact him and give him some color?"

"Then?" Liu Sinu shook his head: "After all, he is a court official. If he wants to be killed by bandits, he must be investigated. It is hard to pursue us."

"If you don't kill him, just scare him. Besides, he has never had a county magistrate now. After a fuss, we will go to the state to sue him for "not being strict in governing bandits."

"Yeah!" Liu Sinu nodded: "You have to get it, you have to get it. But you have to be cleaner, at least don't touch me."

Liu San nodded knowingly: "Don't worry, can the ten young people still block them?"

...

"Sir Xie." Ten yamen runners said in unison, ten stakes per person, but ten stakes are not a small number.

"Everyone deserves it. After these days, everyone has worked hard and has done a good job. In addition, everyone's achievements are recorded and the year-end bonus will be distributed according to their performance at the end of the year. Ou Ping."

"Oh!" Ouping took out a wooden box and placed it on the case.

Ouyang took out a handful of hand crossbow made of fine iron and said, "I am feeling the trouble of the flying rat in Shanggu, so I asked the blacksmith of the East Street to work for several days and nights to create ten hand crossbows. Each hand crossbow is equipped with two crossbow arrows. Both hand crossbows and crossbow arrows have their names. Remember, this object has great lethality and cannot be used for civilians or ordinary thieves. Otherwise, it will be calculated based on the account of taking human lives."

The hand crossbows were as famous as mines in the cold weapon era, as they were infamous. In the Spring and Autumn Period, crossbows appeared, shooting farther than bows and arrows, with stronger lethality, and overcame weaknesses when pulling the bow. By the Han Dynasty, the processing accuracy and surface finish of the crossbow machine had reached a very high level. Han crossbows had eight specifications, including one stone to ten stones. The characteristics of crossbows were far and accurate, and they had time to aim calmly, but it was laborious and time-consuming to turn the string. The Western Han Dynasty used strong crossbows.

The development of the crossbow not only increased on the basis of the Qin Dynasty, but also added a scale to give the crossbow a stable ballistic reference. As the copper crossbow silhouette replaced the wooden crossbow silhouette, the strength of the crossbow body to the tension was greatly enhanced. The maximum tension of the waist-leading crossbow like a rowing machine can reach 370 kilograms, which is simply incredible, with an effective range of more than 500 meters. The crossbow was greatly developed in the Song Dynasty, and Song Ting, who focused on infantry, regarded it as a weapon to fight against the northern cavalry nation.

This weapon was once banned from the use of the Holy See in Europe for two reasons. A civilian holding a crossbow arrow could easily kill the warriors who had been trained for more than 20 years with just a few hours of training. It was unacceptable for the Holy See to take the life of a noblest man. Another reason is that the crossbow is extremely accurate and the design of the arrow is very vicious. According to the medical level in the 10th century, basically, the crossbow basically means to see God.

Ouyang is a policeman, and of course he believes that the police should be equipped with weapons that the people cannot have. What? Everyone has official swords? There are too many people who have swords. Since they can't get a gun, they must use a crossbow. These ten people are fired together, let alone the flying god rat, even the most powerful martial arts master can be abolished. The law enforcement must be strict, as long as you can enforce the law.

"As for how to use it? I'll take you to the shooting range later." Ouyang has bought a room in a private house near the county yamen and renovated it as an office and leisure place for the yamen runners: "But remember it, no one is allowed to touch this thing except yourself, including your mother? Otherwise, the salary of 50% of the three months will be deducted and the year-end bonus will be abolished."

"yes!"
