  Chapter 398, Good thing (1 more)

  Of course, Heng Yi became more and more sure about what kind of army Emperor Zhaoqian wanted to cultivate.

  Invincible in battle, invincible in attack.

   It’s just such an army, it’s not easy to build it.

   “Master Hou, Lord Hou, that trebuchet succeeded.” Zhang Zhao entered with a happy face.

  Smiling and showing a mouthful of big white teeth.

   “It’s done?” Heng Yi asked eagerly, “Let’s go and have a look.”

  The trebuchet was proposed by Han Qiao, and it was used for siege or battle.

  If a big rock were to be thrown into the enemy camp, it could injure people without killing them, and it could also disrupt the formation of the opponent, especially the horses.

  If the formation is chaotic, the whole army cooperates properly, and it is easier to win the battle.

  Han Qiao’s proposal at the time was to use the principle of the seesaw, but more of it can be disassembled, and it can be carried even over mountains and ridges.

   Stones can be obtained locally.

  When Heng Yi arrived, all the carpenters were delighted.

   “Lord Hou.”

   “Yeah.” Heng Yi nodded, “Throw a stone and see, how far can you throw it?”

   “Can throw 300 feet (70 to 80 meters).”

  Heng Yi was voted twice.

   Someone immediately ran to measure.

  He thought for a while before saying, “It would be better if it could be further away.”

   If you really want to fight, 300 feet is still a short distance, especially if the horse is the first to bear the brunt.

  The war horse runs extremely fast, and it doesn’t give you too much time to throw stones.

  So the farther the delivery distance, the better.

   “Don’t worry, Lord Hou, let’s go and think about it.”

  Some things have already disappeared in the long river of history, but new things will come out.

  As long as the brain is still there, the three cobblers can beat Zhuge Liang.

   There are seven of them in a group, and the ancestors are all Lu Ban. Carpenters dare not compare with the ancestors, but they are also capable.

  What they have to do now is to think about how to spread farther? Disassembly problem.

   “I will write a letter to the emperor for your achievements.”

   “Thank you, Lord Hou.”

  Heng Yi will not be greedy for the credit of these people.

  The things they make, as long as they are useful on the battlefield, will be recorded in the book and reported one by one.

“thanks everyone.”

   After Heng Yi finished speaking, he thought that someone from his family said that Han Chi and the others had arrived and planned to go home early.

  When he rode out of the barracks, the guards all saluted respectfully.

   “Lord Hou.”

  There are more and more people setting up stalls outside the city gate, and there are also many snacks.

  Heng Yi saw someone roasting sweet potatoes.

   Leading the horse over, “How many baked sweet potatoes are there?”

   “Yes, yes, there are more than 30.” The man selling sweet potatoes stuttered.

  He knows who the ruler of Sanzhou Town is.

  Although it is a small town, doing business here is extremely safe.

   There is a special location arrangement, only one penny is needed a day, and the final use of the money is clearly written.

  When people come and go, there will always be some soil and leaves, which must be cleaned by someone.

   “Wrap it all up.”

   “Both?”

  Seeing a basket beside him, Heng Yi asked, “Can you put it in that basket? I’ll have someone bring it to you later.”

   “Yes, yes.”

   Hurry up and put the sweet potatoes in the basket.

  Heng Yi touched the copper coin and handed it over.

   One hundred texts.

  The man who sells sweet potatoes asks for change after receiving them.

  A baked sweet potato costs only two renminbi, thirty for sixty renminbi.

  Heng Yi waited for the money to be found, and he didn’t say to reward the sweet potato seller, so he put it in his purse.

   “…”

   “…”

  The people staring at the side were very surprised.

  After Heng Yi left, some people commented, “Why did Hou Ye take it?”

  The sweet potato seller snorted coldly, “Did the money of Lord Marquis fall from the sky? It’s so easy to build this town? You go to other places to set up a stall for a penny a day? The business can still be so good?”

  The sweet potato seller said so, and the others quickly echoed.

   Some of them are far away from here. Although the journey is far away, they can sell out every day. The business is good and stable.

   Try somewhere else?

   Various taxes, various protection fees.

  Some people were ordinary people who were allocated fields, and they grew vegetables and sold them. You can also earn some money by raising chickens and so on.

  You can also work in the workshop managed by Mrs. Hou, where the wages are good and the treatment is good. And you won’t be squeezed out of breath.

   Which of these does not require silver? It’s only been a few months, how much money did it take to build Sanzhou Town so well?

  There are still houses under construction over there, and the money that can be recovered from these houses is also very limited.

  You say a word, I say a word, and the stingy street vendor dare not say a word.

  How did Heng Yi know that just because he bought a sweet potato, it could cause controversy.

   “Father.”

  Ayao crawled over.

   “Father, Xiang.”

  Heng Yi smiled and rubbed A Yao’s head, “I bought roasted sweet potatoes, and I went to call my brothers and sisters to eat.”

“Wow…”

   There are also roasted sweet potatoes at home.

  But the ones bought outside are definitely different from those at home.

  Children like to eat things bought outside.

   Ayao was very strong, and after dividing the sweet potatoes, he kept one for himself.

   Waiting for Heng Yi to wash and peel it for him to eat.

  Little kid, you have a lot of thoughts.

  Han Qiao laughed.

  The sweet potato is quite big, so you don’t need to eat it after one dinner, so she asked Cui Guo to take it down and share it.

  A Yao waited for Heng Yi to come out, and immediately went forward, “Daddy, eat.”

  Heng Yi picked up his son in one arm, then peeled the sweet potato and fed it to Ayao.

   A Yao took a bite and frowned.

   Not as delicious as home.

   The second mouth was tightly shut, and he kept shaking his head.

  Han Qiao couldn’t help laughing.

  The sweet potatoes at home are all carefully selected sweet potatoes. They are soft and sweet when baked, and they are very sweet and delicious.

  Heng Yi bought this sweet potato, although it is also a yellow heart sweet potato, it just doesn’t feel that good.

  This kid has a very picky mouth.

  Heng Yi didn’t think too much about it. If the child didn’t eat it, he would eat it bite by bite.

   Ayao wanted to eat some more, but he really only ate a little.

  After eating sweet potatoes, Han Qiao first told Heng Yi that the emperor’s reward had arrived.

   “How many people came?”

   “Thirty or so, all young people.”

  Han Qiao and Heng Yi both understand, what are these people doing here?

   “I’ll go see them.” Heng Yi said.

   “By the way, the trebuchet has been made, but the throwing distance is still not enough, and research is still needed.”

  Han Qiao pondered for a while and said, “Is it because the stone is too heavy? What if I change it to something else? For example…”

“You know about firecrackers, they can injure people by accident. Is there a way to make this kind of thing into a ball, ignite it and throw it out. You think a firecracker can burn people, so how about throwing a big ball out? ”

  Han Qiao just finished speaking, Heng Yi was silent for a moment and said, “I’ll go out again.”

   “Go early and come back early, you must come back for dinner.” Han Qiao tidied Heng Yi’s clothes.

   Ask him to put his gloves on.

  Heng Yi hummed.

  He also brought Li Zhao with him and ordered white tea.

  Although Han Qiao mentioned an introduction, but he really figured out this thing, it is all credit.
