Chapter 1068 Changping County Lord 16
Xi Ning took the bamboo slips brought by Qin'er, the two maids probably discussed it later, when they went to get the bamboo slips just now, neither of them went together, nor did they stay together.
After looking around, she asked, "Is there a specified size for bows and arrows?"
The master thought for a while and replied: "Yes, the bow is three feet three inches to three feet five inches long, and the arrow length is four inches to five inches, depending on the strength of the bow and arrow arm."
"That's it~" Xining thought for a while and said, "This time I want to have fun with the people. Many people may not be able to afford bows and arrows. How about this? I don't understand all the procedures, so I will leave it to the master and the county magistrate Zhou." Make up your mind. I only have one request, no matter how long or short the bow and arrow are, it doesn’t matter if you buy and make your own, as long as you shoot it to the target and don’t insert it.”
The master was stunned: "In other words, if the sleeve arrow and blowing arrow are also acceptable?"
"Yes!" Xining nodded, "This reminds me that the target is placed a hundred feet away, and each person is limited to shooting ten. As long as you can hit the target and shoot accurately, you can use any arrow you want."
Five feet is one step, one hundred feet is twenty steps.The distance of the target is about the same, but it is unheard of for bows and arrows.
It doesn't matter, anyway, the county lord is on a whim, and she is the one who pays, whether it is playing pot throwing or archery, as long as she is willing.County Magistrate Zhou is also willing to cooperate, counting it as a political achievement and improving the relationship between the government and the people.
Xining thought of another point: "Are there many defenders in and around the city? There must be some of them who are better at archery than ordinary people."
The master immediately replied: "There is no garrison in Linyi County, but there are [-] garrisons at Linguan, which is further north. They cannot leave Linguan until they are ordered by the army."
"That's good!" Xining nodded: "Then other things will be troublesome, let the people know as soon as possible, and I will just pay for it then."
After finishing speaking, without winking, the master bowed and took his leave.
It seems that I want to piss off, today is a good day, and I will answer all questions.
Just as the master left, Xining called Butler Xiao.
When Housekeeper Xiao heard the county lord's order, he couldn't come back to his senses for a moment: "What, sold the things in the warehouse?"
"Well, it's sold!" Xining said with certainty: "There are five shops empty, one sells ready-to-wear, one sells fabrics, one sells jewelry, one sells antiques, and the remaining one depends on the situation. But it must be sold." It’s expensive, so you can estimate the original price and sell it for how much.”
How much is the original price and how much is the current price?Displaying antiques is another matter. Knowing that second-hand goods will sell at a lower price than the original price.
Xining continued: "Take the ones with the lowest price first, and don't take too much each time. There are also those rewarded by the King of Han. Except that all the items used by the Tianjia cannot be moved, the others are sold in batches according to the inventory list. Only silver, not cattle and sheep."
Steward Xiao looked at the county magistrate with his mouth gaping.What's the matter, magistrate?So short of money?
What Xining thought of: "If you have charcoal wood, grain and grass, you can exchange them."
Housekeeper Xiao blinked his eyes: "It's just summer, and the price of charcoal, wood, food, and grass is extremely cheap. This piece of fabric can be replaced by a large cart of charcoal."
"Yes! As long as they have it." Xining waved his hand: "Anyway, there is such a big yard behind the shop, so many rooms. If it is not enough, then go buy land and a house for storage."
Does the county head want to go into business?But what a mess.Housekeeper Xiao really knelt down, even if he had money, he couldn't make such a fuss.
The next day, the county government sent people to post a message to beat the gong, saying that there would be an archery competition after autumn.All of a sudden, every village in the village within a hundred miles was moved by the news.
Originally a well-known marksman in archery, he naturally went for the top ten taels of gold, and more money for the eleventh to twenty.
They are all in the border area, the land is dry and barren, and many people have bows and arrows. They usually go hunting in their spare time, hunting rabbits and mice and adding meat and vegetables.
But this competition has very low requirements, no matter men, women, old or young, regardless of the size of the bow and arrow, as long as they hit the target a hundred feet away, those who don't miss the target will count as falling.So everyone from seventy-year-old women down to four or five-year-old Huangkou children pestered their families to make bows and arrows, and practiced archery when they had time.
This summer is still very hot. Many people hang a few targets on the tree trunks to practice archery when they are enjoying the shade under the trees.
In addition, five carts of good things were pulled out from the county lord's mansion and sold in several shops.Stuff is a good thing, surprisingly valuable.
Originally, in the first two days, there were many people who asked and saw many people, but none of them were sold.But gradually began to have customers later.
The reason is that the female relatives of these officials and wealthy families plan to wear them to the archery competition.Although there are goods from all over the capital, even from the Xiongnu and the Western Regions, compared with the goods sold in the store, they are still far inferior.
After all, those were taken out of the county lord's mansion, and they were different from ordinary goods.
Later, not only female relatives, but also male customers came.The top-quality lacquerware and wood carvings here, as well as calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, are all treasures, hard to come by.
In the store, you can never negotiate the price, buy it now, never lower the price, buy it or not.
Seeing that the goods were really good, many people gritted their teeth, endured the pain, and spent money to take the things home as if they were treasures.
It's also a bit strange, if you don't have any silver taels, you can use charcoal, wood and grain to make up for it.A piece of silk handkerchief or embroidered dough fan was really replaced in a car.
Last year's warm winter, many people had carbon left over, so they exchanged it for things.After the things are collected, they are all piled up in the warehouse behind.
The business started like this, and the county lord was obviously just playing around, and never asked for anything.There are not many customers, so it is enough to come in every now and then.
The weather was too hot, half a month later, when Steward Lin and Xiao Zhan came back with the letter from King Han, there was already an ice mirror in the room.
Xiao Zhan and Lin Butler came in, Xiao Zhan saw a huge ice mirror in the middle of the room, making the room much cooler.The county magistrate leaned on the mat and read a book, shaking his fan.
After saluting, Xining put down the bamboo slips in his hand, sat up, and asked with a pleasing expression, "You're back?"
"Yes, magistrate!" The two stood in front of them.
Xining asked Steward Xiao who came together: "Can Steward Lin's family get settled?"
Housekeeper Xiao replied: "It's settled. I bought a three-entry yard in the city."
Xining nodded and turned to Butler Lin, "Are you satisfied?"
Butler Lin could only force a smile on his face: "Satisfied, of course I am satisfied. Butler Xiao has done one thing safely, and the house is big and spacious enough to live in."
"That's good!" Xining said to Butler Xiao: "At present, you are still in charge of the house, and you will continue to take care of it. When Butler Lin gets things done at home, you will gradually return them to him."
Housekeeper Xiao immediately said yes.
Butler Lin hurriedly said, "No, no, I can do it now."
As soon as I come back, I will take back the housekeeping rights, of course I am anxious.They all brought all their family members here, so they really had to work faithfully.
Xining smiled and shook his fan: "It's not urgent, many things will be done after you leave, and it will take some time for you to leave them to you. For now, you should settle your home first. Once your home is stable, you can do things with peace of mind."
Of course Lin Butler could hear the implication, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say yes.
Then he took out the letter and said it was the king's reply.
