"It's no longer in the way."
"It's just that it's freezing cold, so the wound will heal slowly, but it's your arm, young master, now--"
For Lao He.
As long as you have enough to eat, it is only a matter of time before your injuries heal.
It's Zhang Bao's side.
In the impression.
It seemed like this was the first time he had been so seriously injured.
"It won't get better for a while."
“It’s still not possible without medicine!”
Zhang Bao looked at the scratches on his arm and the eye-catching wound.
It has scabbed over.
But it still hurts terribly.
I didn’t know that the previous wine pipes didn’t work.
"It's freezing cold here, and there's no place to get herbal medicine."
"You can only get medicine at the county government office."
Lao He said with a frown.
"Ms. sir, why don't you sell those two wolf skins?"
"This can be exchanged for money to buy some medicine."
"I'll try to find something else inside the cotton coat."
Su Xiaoyue interjected on the side.
Compared to keeping warm, Su Xiaoyue naturally cared more about Zhang Bao's injury.
"Wolfskin?"
Zhang Bao was a little surprised.
"Um!"
Su Xiaoyue nodded.
before.
The wolf skins of the two wolves were completely peeled off by Lao He.
Wealthy families would use good fox or wolf skins to keep out the cold. Every autumn and winter, many people would buy them at high prices.
Lao He originally thought about using the two wolf skins to ask Su Xiaoyue to make a close-fitting hood for Zhang Bao to wear inside.
Zhang Bao's cotton-padded coat has been scratched by the wolf.
Zhang Bao's cotton-padded clothes were made of silk as floc.
After being scratched by the wolf, although it was mended, it was not as good as before. It was just filled with other things.
Catkins and catkins were nowhere to be found.
Su Xiaoyue found some straw and reed catkins, barely crushed them, and stuffed them inside.
Lao He then planned to ask Su Xiaoyue to make a small ridge from the wolf skin.
In terms of ready-to-wear.
To make a wolf skin long coat, at least four wolf skins are needed, and it is not that simple to make.
Daxia now.
And there is no cotton.
Most winter clothes are still made of silk.
However, due to the long breeding cycle of silkworms, the shipment rate of silkworms is very low.
It takes a lot of time and effort to make thick silk that can keep out the cold.
Only wealthy families could afford silk to keep out the cold. Most ordinary people used clothes made of linen.
In addition to silk and linen, the rest is animal skins.
Wealthy people would use fine fox or wolf skins to keep out the cold, while ordinary people would use dog or sheep skins.
But for poor people.
This is also out of reach.
"Old He, what's the situation in the county government now?"
"Can it be better than the village?"
Zhang Bao asked Lao He.
"Based on previous years, even if there is a major disaster, the county can still survive."
"But now that the war is in chaos, no one can say for sure, everything is in chaos."
"They all have too much time to take care of themselves. Even the county tax collector hasn't been here for a long time."
Lao He held the frozen piece of wolf meat in his mouth and said vaguely.
Zhang Bao nodded.
This can also be expected.
The situation in Daxia was so chaotic that the previous system was about to fall apart.
This actually gave them a lot of opportunities.
"If these two wolf skins could be sold, how much silver would they cost?"
Zhang Bao thought for a while and asked Lao He again.
"It's hard to say. In the past, a better-quality wolf skin would have cost a few taels of silver. But now, at this age, prices are no longer the same as before. Most people still barter more."
"Master, are you thinking of buying something?"
Lao He asked.
"It's best to buy some medicine and not take it alive."
"Then I want to buy some knives, otherwise I won't even have anyone to defend myself."
Zhang Bao said to Lao He.
Before, the only weapon in the house was the kitchen knife, but when I was cutting wolves, the blade got curled and it was difficult to use it again.
At the beginning of the Great Xia Dynasty, a ban on swords was implemented for a period of time.
All such kitchen knives, axes and the like were confiscated to prevent civil rebellion and to forge weapons.
The people switched to using stone knives and bone knives. Later, the so-called knife ban gradually ceased to exist in name only.
However, related iron tools are still very rare and very precious.
Most of them were used as farm tools.
"knife?"
"Master, this knife is not easy to make. Although we are located in a remote place and are not under the jurisdiction of the county government, there are relatively few weapons such as knives. Maybe the blacksmith shop in the county government can make them, but it is also said that not good."
Lao He said with a frown.
In the early days of the Great Xia Dynasty.
All prohibited weapons are privately owned, such as armor, crossbows, spears, spears, equipment, etc., which ordinary people cannot have in their homes.
Bows, arrows, knives, spears, and short spears are not restricted.
That is to say.
You can have ordinary bows, you can have swords, you can have ordinary shields.
But to make a good knife, the money spent is definitely not something ordinary people can afford.
This Great Xia Dynasty lasted for nearly three hundred years.
Consolidate the territory and expand the territory, and the war will continue.
It also caused many weapons to be lost among the people, and banditry was rampant in various places.
The Great Xia Dynasty also acquiesced in the fact that weapons were privately owned.
But ordinary people, at most, have something like a hunting bow, and ordinary swords, it is almost impossible.
"That's really strange. The bandits who came before seemed to have some kind of weapons. Could it be that the bandits were especially wealthy during this famine year?"
Zhang Bao was a little strange.
When I was inside the coffin, I did hear the clanging sound of weapons.
"Master, I heard that Erlong Mountain, which is dozens of miles away from here, is occupied by a group of remnant soldiers. It is not surprising that they have weapons. There is another group of mountain bandits who have been fighting with each other for many years. It seems similar. They all have weapons in their hands. "
Lao He seemed to have known a lot about bandits before.
"That's really difficult to handle."
Zhang Bao also frowned.
If those bandits were deserters, they would naturally have considerable fighting power.
It seems that if you want to resist the bandits, you need to take it slow.
"Forget it, let's kill the wolves in the mountains first. At least we can get a few more wolf skins."
“Let’s go to the county government office later and talk about it.”
Zhang Bao said to Lao He.
When Lao He listened to Zhang Bao's questions and thought about them together, he felt a storm in his heart.
Young Master, this is both a back mountain and a weapon.
It seems that he is thinking very long term.
If these tenants under his command could be put to good use, they might be a force for self-preservation.
In this troubled world now, we really have to live well first before we can think about other things.
It seems.
What the young lady said is true.
The young master is really different.
Lao He secretly looked at Zhang Bao in front of him, and for some reason, he felt a sense of heroism in his heart.
