Chapter 1332
Although the stream that runs through the Crescent Valley is the convergence of several large and small mountain streams at the northern foot of Fangcheng Mountain, but it does not rain, this water is the source of no roots. In addition to the daily consumption of more than 20,000 commoners, even if dams were built to block water early in the morning, and water pools were dug along the stream to store water, it still shows signs of drying up.
"The sky is rare in recent days, and there are occasional dark clouds. The rain should not be far away." Ying Yi said this, and he didn't know whether to comfort himself or Xiucai.
The scholar looked at the sky and said, "What the lord said makes sense."
Manpower is sometimes poor, unless the Divine Immortal can casually call the wind and summon the rain, otherwise it is inevitable Made by God. Although Xiucai is also very worried, it is useless to worry about this kind of thing. It's better to console myself, Ying Yi left and right said that it is not bad, the past few days did indeed change Celestial Phenomenon.
"It's not that there is no other way..." Ying Yi was expressionless, remembering what he had said to Zhou Li before, thinking of those big rivers: "As long as the thieves are pacified..."
The scholar laughed.
"Zhou E, Zhou E!"
She called twice before she got close, Zhou E looked up, hurriedly threw the wooden fork and ran over, saluting cautiously. : "Master Sun."
While secretly looking at Ying Yi.
The scholar said with a smile: "This is Ying Yi, Lord Ying."
He said to Ying Yi: "This is what the subordinate said about Zhou E."
Zhou E is of medium build and looks 17-18 years old. Although her face is thin, she is in good spirits.
Hearing the Xiucai's words, Zhou E showed a look of shock, and hurriedly nodded: "The little lady has seen Lord Ying!"
Ying Yi's name, Crescent Moon Valley is known to everyone known to everyone. But there are not many people who know what Ying Yi looks like. Xiucai is in charge of Crescent Moon Valley and has done a lot in all aspects. Just like when he said how powerful Ying Yi was in front of those soldiers, in Crescent Moon Valley, he spared no effort to publicize it.
Adults and children, who does not know that now Crescent Moon Valley is Ying Yi who has the final say?
But after all, few people have seen Ying Yi. Although Ying Yi had known about Crescent Moon Valley and turned around a few times, he had not yet seized power at that time. People will not remember what a passerby looks like.
"You don't need to be too polite." Ying Yi smiled and gave a virtual help, saying: "Master Sun said that you are good at weaving and tailoring, and you proposed the rattan clothes. I will come to see today and try the effect. If the rattan clothes meet the requirements, they will definitely be rewarded."
"Thank you, sir!" Zhou E was surprised and rubbed her hands nervously.
"Let's go." Ying Yiwen said with a smile: "Let's take a look first, I hope you can give me a surprise."
All the way to Zhou E's house - a narrow cave.
Two skinny children, one 11-12 years old, one five or six years old, also an Old Lady. As for Zhou E's husband, Sun Xiucai said that he was recruited to cut wood, leaving early and returning late.
When I arrived at Zhou E's house, the Old Lady, also known as Zhou E's mother-in-law, was rocking an old loom by the cave, and in the voice of ka ka, a grey yellow of sackcloth is taking shape.
"This is the cloth woven from thorn rattan?"
Ying Yi asked.
Zhou E hurriedly said: "Sir, this is rattan cloth. This is the color of the twine after the thorn rattan has been soaked in oil."
Then the Old Lady recognized Sun Xiucai and saw Ying When the next party arrived, they stood up in a hurry to salute.
Ying Yi hurriedly stopped him: "Old man don't need to be polite."
Old Lady was obliging.
Ying Yi said with a smile: "Where's the rattan clothes? Try the effect first."
Zhou E took out a few pieces of clothes from the hole and unfolded them to reveal Ying Yi before.
In terms of style, it is a very simple style worn by commoners, with clothes and trousers, gray yellow, and unremarkable. Ying Yi took it over, and as soon as he touched it, he noticed the difference. He originally thought that the cloth woven from the fibers of this thorn vine should be rough, but when he held it in his hand, there was a sense of fineness. It is more delicate than linen, although not as good as silk, but not much worse than cotton.
The scholar on the side spoke: "Sir, this kind of rattan cloth is more delicate than linen, and it is very tough, so cutting it is very laborious. My subordinates have tried it with Lian Baihu, and this kind of cloth is defense against swords. It is stronger than cotton and linen, but has a strong defense against arrows. Beyond thirty steps, it is difficult for arrows to penetrate the rattan clothes, similar to silk, and the arrows will be stuck."
"Oh?!"
Ying Yi hearing this couldn't help revealing a surprised look, he squeezed the corner of the clothes with both hands and slowly added strength, the strength increased to three-four hundred pounds, the clothes were pulled and deformed, from one inch to four or five There was no sign of tearing even an inch, and when the hand was released, it bounced back again.
This toughness and elasticity is beyond Ying Yi's expectations!
"Good!"
Ying Yi was overjoyed: "Good thing, it didn't let me down!"
He stroked the rattan clothes, looking very treasure, He said to Xiucai: "If the rattan clothes are used as the lining, and the outer cover is iron armor, it will not only prevent swords and guns, but also prevent arrows. Smile: "Although the defense against firearms is not amazing, it is comparable to half-inch cotton armor."
Cotton armor is the armor with the strongest defense against firearms in this era. Pressed layer by layer. Often wear a set of cotton armor and a set of iron armor on the outside, so that ordinary firearms cannot penetrate it. It seems that Tatar's elite troops are all equipped with this kind of equipment.
Half-inch thick cotton armor is already very good. And this rattan clothing is only a thin layer, its defensive ability can be imagined.
This really gave Ying Yi a big surprise.
"Try it."
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Ying Yi took a breath, hurriedly called someone to bring swords, guns, bows and arrows, and put the rattan coat on a On scarecrow, let people test one after another.
Not to mention knives, guns, bows and arrows, but also firearms. Still captured from Eastern Yard Fanzi. Ye County's firearms are now in Xiaowangzhuang.
A test, from a hundred steps to less than thirty steps, the result of the test made Ying Yi extremely satisfied.
Slashing with swords, long spears and stabbings, are also connected. Fifty paces away, the arrow shot up. The arrow was entangled in twine and could only shoot half of the tip of the arrow, which was just broken. The arrow will also be entangled in half beyond thirty steps, and it can only be penetrated within thirty steps. And when the firearm is hit, a large part of its power will be removed, and a black spot will be formed, as if the fire has been burned.
"Okay, very good."
Ying Yi was very satisfied, said with a smile: "With the rattan clothes, I don't know how many lives can be saved."
"Xiuscai, thorn vine is a treasure, must-scale planting. You organize a group of people and find a suitable place to plant." After speaking, his eyes fell on Zhou E: "Zhou E has made great achievements and must be rewarded. I have two choices here. First, you are responsible for the cultivation of thorn vines, and the moon silver is tentatively set at 12 taels. Second, after the first batch, rattan clothes will be manufactured in a centralized manner, and a directly affiliated workshop will be established, and you will be Fangzhu, Yueyin is also ten taels for the time being."
Ying Yi's reward is not unimportant. Workshop!"
Ying Yi laughed: "Okay, from now on, you are Zhou Fangzhu."
"Thank you sir, thank you sir!" Zhou Er fell to the ground, Weeping with joy.
