Three Kingdoms

The thick wooden board was like a thin piece of tissue paper in front of the crossbow gun, easily torn into pieces. The crossbow gun continued to move. After penetrating the wooden board, it penetrated deeply into the ground, and the tail rod continued to move. Trembling, like a tenacious warrior who seems to be attacking and charging until the last moment.

Linagu's expression was not very good. The distance between the crossbow and his seat was only about a hundred steps, and it was fired from the top of the mountain. In other words, as long as the crossbow car was slightly adjusted, he would be It will become the target of attack, and under such a high-speed crossbow attack, unless the attack route of the crossbow is predicted from the beginning, otherwise when it is seen that it is in front of you, even if you hide, you may not be able to escape.

This feeling made Lina Gu's scalp tingle for waves, and he wanted to take off his bun and give it a good scratch.

Aren't these kinds of ballistae only found in large cities?

Linagu has been in the border county for so many years, and he has only encountered two cities, one is Yunzhong and the other is Linrong...

"Fei Shangjun, is this what you call a display?" Lina Gu looked uncertain.

Fei Qian smiled and said, "Yes, but... it's not over yet..."

Not finished? What does unfinished mean?

Lina Gu suddenly understood and suddenly turned his head to look towards the top of the mountain.

Only sharp whines and screams were heard one after another, and three more, no, four black threads appeared from the top and plunged down!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom," four almost connected sounds sounded. Lina Gu slowly turned his head. There were not many remains of the huge wooden target anymore, only five dark crossbows were staggered. Standing sideways and trembling...

Many people in the market heard the sound here. When they came over, many foreigners were stunned. Many people dropped things in their hands without noticing.

The salesmen of the Cui family who were in the market all straightened their backs slightly, and the smiles on their faces looked more friendly.

Although the ballista did not continue to launch, those barbarians in the market who originally spoke a little loudly due to certain things, for some reason, subconsciously lowered their voices...

Linagu closed his eyes and started a simulation in his mind. If there was only one ballista, his cavalry might be able to rush forward with speed, but if five ballistas were launched in sequence, it would be a disaster!

Lina Gu took a sideways glance at the camp not far away and estimated the distance. From the looks of these crossbows, there was no problem at all covering the camp, and the accuracy was really scary...

"I wonder if this display can still be barely viewed?"

"Ah..." Rina Gu felt that his throat was a little dry. He picked up a bowl of wine and took two sips before saying, "Look, look! It's really amazing! It's really amazing..."

Fei Qian smiled and waved his hand for the soldiers to clean up the debris in the field.

When leaving the Huangjiayin Yard, the spare parts requested from the head of the family, Huang Chengyan, were some important core components of the five crossbow carriages, which had always been hidden in Fei Qian's carriage. This time, the Beiqu camp was established, that is, He dismantled it and brought it here, and asked Huang Dou to take it out and assemble it and set it up on the top of the mountain.

But there are only five of them. If you want to make more, without those sophisticated components from the Huang family, accuracy, range, and even durability will be greatly reduced...

But Linagu naturally didn't know this. He listened to the tinkling sounds on the top of the mountain and felt a little hairy in his heart. He felt that the bench seemed a little uncomfortable to sit on, and he twisted a little. He laughed dryly and said, "Fei Shangjun, the goods you have here seem to be quite comprehensive..."

"That's natural. Basically, whatever is available on the market, I have it here."

Lina Gu came a little closer and said, "So... this sword armor... I wonder if it exists?"

Fei Qian said in his heart, I still want to keep the sword and armor, how can I sell it to you? But of course you can't say this: "Of course there are swords and armors, but at this price... In addition, it's not convenient now... You see, although you and I hit it off today, it's still the first time we've met..."

"What does Fei Shangjun mean..." Lina Gu rolled his eyes and asked.

Fei Qian laughed and said, "I didn't mean anything...really, I didn't mean anything..."

Rinagu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I understand!"

Fei Qian also smiled. Sometimes this is the case in this world. When you tell the truth, no one may believe it. On the contrary, people are more willing to believe lies...

Ah Da silently put down a piece of linen cloth. Although he also wanted this piece of cloth, and the mother-in-law at home had been talking about it before, he wanted a cauldron and some tea more.

After passing several stalls, I finally found someone selling tea bricks. Ah Da squatted down excitedly, pointed to the smallest piece and asked, "How do I change this...?" Then he raised the sheep in front of him and said, "This one... Just, can I change it to this one?"

"Big sheep, although it's almost the same, but I don't want to change sheep..." The clerk can't speak Chinese either, but there are people who can. After the market opened, Fei Shijun found some people who could speak Chinese to help act as translators. ——So he stood up and started looking for someone, "Hey! Who is that... a scumbag! Well, no, that scumbag! A scumbag! Come here!"

"Zhagu?" Ada turned around in confusion.

"Ah Da?!" A foreigner heard the sound and turned his head. When he saw it was Ah Da, he ran over and hugged Ah Da and patted him on the back.

"Do you two know each other? Then talk to him..."

"Ada, you want...oh, you want to buy tea, yes, you can't just exchange the sheep for...Ah, you come with me..." Zhagu led Ada to a separate hut, "You want Sell ​​the sheep here first, and then use the money to buy tea..."

You have to change it into money first. Of course Ada knows what money is, but in his transactions with the Han people, and even with people in the tribe, most of the time he has bartered, and the five-digit currency is rarely used. Baht money.

"Why bother? It's easier to exchange the sheep for money, and then exchange the money for tea. Wouldn't it be easier to just exchange the sheep for tea?" Ah Da felt that there was no need to go around in circles. The money can't be eaten or drank, so it's useless to take it. ah? And according to previous habits, the so-called money is preferred by the leaders. Ordinary herdsmen like myself, even if they see it, will probably have no interest.

"Hey! This is the rule here anyway, and..." Zaku turned around and looked around, and said close to Ata's ear, "Actually, we have suffered losses in the past by exchanging directly. It is better to exchange money! Come on, let me help. you."

With the help of Zhagu, Ada quickly exchanged the sheep for five baht coins. Then he went to the place where tea bricks were sold and used the five baht coins to buy that small piece of tea bricks. Then he was surprised to find that, I actually still have a few five-baht coins left in my hand...

"This..." Ah Da looked at the tea bricks on his left hand, and then at the coins on his right hand. His mind was filled with confusion. Didn't he exchange the sheep for the tea bricks? Why did he seem to have some extra money?

Zaku laughed and said, "That's right, right? Just exchange it as you did before, but you won't have the extra money!"

Ah Da carefully put the tea brick, which was less than a kilogram, into his arms, and squeezed the five-baht coins tightly. Suddenly he seemed to remember something, and ran out...

"Ada, hey! Ada, what are you doing? Are you leaving now?" Zhagu was a little confused, because most of the herdsmen who came here would spend all the five baht they had on hand before going back. .

Ah Da kept walking and turned around and shouted: "My horse is over there in Bada, and there are still some sheepskins on it. I'll go get it and exchange it for this, this money!"

Well, the value of tea in the Han Dynasty, the price of ordinary tea bricks is about the same as the price of meat, and the price of meat is 10 kilograms of meat ≈ 1 stone grain (it is recorded that the price of 10 kilograms of meat combined with 1 stone grain), the price of 1 stone grain is roughly grain = stone/ About 220 qian (depending on the fluctuation of green and yellow), 1 stone of rice = 13-15 kilograms, and finally the price of a sheep in Han Dynasty is sheep = sheep / 300-500 qian, so if you calculate it this way, in this market, the price is How much money did Fei Qian make if he traded a sheep?
