When Qian Captou saw Zhou Yi's face was dark and cold, with a fierce look on his face, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Sir, please forgive me. I was just obsessed with sending people to build houses in the county. As a result, five carts of food were robbed this time!"
Zhou Yi snorted coldly and said: "Do you think I am angry because the food was robbed? I am angry because your wrong decision led to the ten people who were escorting the food in our county being robbed by the thieves from Heifeng Village. .”
"It's fine if these ten people can come back safe and sound this time. If something happens to them this time, I will definitely hold you accountable!"
Qian Captou was stunned when he heard what Zhou Yi said. He didn't expect that his master was so important to people but not to things.
Nowadays, many areas in Pingjiang County, Pingyang City and even Yongzhou are experiencing food shortages due to this year's dry weather.
Under such circumstances, their five carts of fine grain in Pingliang County could be sold for thousands of taels of silver.
And in this year of famine and chaos, a human life is not even worth a tael of silver.
These ten ordinary people escorting the grain were really not as valuable as the five carts of grain in the eyes of Qian Capt.
But today Zhou Yi taught Qian Yong a lesson.
Zhouyi's emphasis on people over things made Qian Yong understand that human life is greater than heaven!
Nowadays, although people from nearby Pingjiang County and Pingyang City follow the advice of relatives and friends and come to settle in Pingliang County every day. As a result, the population of Pingjiang County has now exceeded the 3,000 mark, reaching more than 4,000 people.
But now Pingliang County's manpower still feels insufficient regardless of whether it is used to earn popularity or build city defenses.
Not to mention that the ten people who were escorting the grain were kidnapped by Heifeng Village today. Even if it was just a person or a dog, as long as they were from Pingliang County, Zhou Yi would feel distressed for a long time.
"Go, Fei Ge sends a letter to Bai Sheng, asking him to inquire about the situation in Black Wind Village and see how many people they have." Zhou Yi coldly ordered Qian Catcher, who was kneeling on the ground, to stand up.
Seeing that the county magistrate did not continue to scold him, Qian Baotou was slightly relieved and hurriedly went to complete the task assigned to him by the magistrate. At the same time, Qian Yong secretly prayed in his heart that the people captured by Heifeng Village in Pingliang County would be safe and sound.
Through this time Qian Yong casually mobilized his city guards and urban management brigade to build buildings, Zhou Yi also noticed the imperfections in his current military system.
Since arriving in Pingliang County, Zhou Yi has been focusing on production work and neglecting the management of military forces.
It is said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Fortunately, things are discovered early and can be remedied in time.
If the problem is discovered late, it will be too late one day when the army that you have provided food and money for is drawn to attack you.
After Qian Captou went out, the acting master Sun Yufu on the side asked cautiously: "Master, are you going to teach calligraphy at night school tonight?"
"No, you go teach tonight!"
Acting Master Sun Yufu was also afraid of causing trouble for Zhou Yi, so he immediately withdrew cautiously.
When no one else was around to disturb him, an angry Zhou Yi immediately called up the system interface.
Host: Zhouyi
Sex: Male
Money: 137920 taels of silver
Reputation value: 4313/5000 (currently one lottery can be conducted)
System warehouse: 6/10 (silver required to upgrade space: 1,000 taels)
Current supplies: rice, Fuling mustard, Yunnan Baiyao, potato seeds, water, cement.
"System, start the lottery wheel!"
The received big carousel appeared in front of Zhou Yi again.
The prize system on this lottery wheel is divided into three categories for Zhou Yi. They are fruits and vegetables, agricultural input categories, and weapons and equipment categories.
The fruits and vegetables are: peppers, pumpkins, winter melons, and eggplants; the agricultural input categories are: nitrogen fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, and paraquat;
As for weapons and equipment, that is what Zhouyi is most looking forward to, including: Zhuge Liannu, Mingguang Armor, Tang Hengdao, and Baniu Crossbow.
Seeing these weapons and equipment, Zhou Yi was so happy!
If the Zhuge Liannu is the submachine gun among ancient cold weapons, then the Baniu Crossbow is the Barrett among ancient weapons.
This eight-oxen crossbow is another name for the three-bow bed crossbow. The arrows use hard wood as the shaft and iron pieces as the feathers. It is known as "one gun, three swords and arrows" in the world.
The arrows fired by the Eight Ox Crossbow can be directly driven into the city wall, so it is often used in siege battles. After the rows of crossbow arrows are driven into the wall, the siege soldiers can use it to climb up.
This eight-oxen crossbow has an extremely long range. "History of the Song Dynasty: Biography of Wei Pi" records: "The old bed crossbow only fired at 700 steps, so Pi was ordered to increase the range to 1,000 steps." In the Song Dynasty, one step was 1.536 meters, and if it were 1,000 steps, it would be 1,536 meters. , if you aim at someone with something like the Eight Bull Crossbow, the person who hits it will definitely die.
Not to mention, such a big injustice really died under the Eight Ox Crossbow.
During the Battle of Chanyuan in the first year of Jingde reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, the defenders of the Song Dynasty installed eight oxen crossbows at the top of the city. When the Liao army attacked the city, a soldier guarding the crossbow was frightened and fired the eight-niu crossbow in panic.
The arrow fired by the Eight Bull Crossbow shot out like a thunderbolt. By coincidence, the arrow hit Xiao Taolin, the commander-in-chief of the Liao army.
Xiao Taolin, a big enemy, was killed immediately, and the Liao army no longer wanted to fight because of the death of its leader, so it signed the Chanyuan Alliance with the Northern Song Dynasty.
Although there are 12 prizes in the lottery, in Zhou Yi's opinion, the probability of winning weapons and equipment is only one-third.
Whether it is Zhuge Liannu, Mingguang Armor, Tang Hengdao, or Baniu Crossbow, no matter which one Zhou Yi draws, Zhou Yi's own city guards and urban management brigade will receive a great increase in combat effectiveness.
So Zhou Yi only felt that he was safe this time. As soon as he drew any of the weapons, Zhou Yiming would have gathered his team to attack Heifeng Mountain and destroy Heifeng Stronghold.
"Start the lottery."
The twelve prizes were arranged in random order, and the lottery disc began to rotate rapidly.
After Zhou Yi silently pressed the stop button in his heart, the disk slowly stopped again.
Zhuge Liannu passed...
Tang Hengdao also passed;
The Eight Bull Crossbow also turned around,
Just when Zhou Yi saw that the winning pointer was about to turn to the Mingguang Armor, the turntable hadn't stopped yet.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop!" Zhou Yi prayed eagerly in his heart.
The turntable moved little by little, and finally stopped at the gap between the Mingguang Armor and the next prize.
Zhou Yi asked hehely: "System, this reward should be the Mingguang Armor, right?"
But he didn't expect that the system's mechanical notification sound would sound in Zhou Yi's mind the next second.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning paraquat in this lottery, which has been stored in the warehouse."
What? It’s actually paraquat?
No one knows whether Paraquat will cry or not. Anyway, Zhou Yi is about to cry!
"Dog system, this pointer is clearly between Mingguang Armor and paraquat, but you only gave me such a shameful thing as paraquat!" Zhou Yi yelled viciously in his heart.
"If you were in front of me, I would at least let you know why the flowers are so red!"
