"Brother Zhou, please get up quickly. From now on, we will still treat each other as brothers.

In the past few days, you have sent servants to keep an eye on the situation of the victims in the south of the city. As long as the victims are driven out of Zhuoxian County, we will go to recruit refugees. In the past few days, you can build more thatched houses in the downhill areas. Once the refugees are recruited, we will

Start building the dam!" Liu Xin said.

"Zhou Tai obeys!"

In the afternoon, Liu Xin summoned all the members of Zhuangzi and announced to everyone that Zhou Tai would be his first general. He also gave everyone a meal of white flour steamed cakes and venison. Everyone was very happy to eat it, so they also knew that Zhou Tai was under Liu Xin's control

The weight in my heart is unparalleled.

Liu Xin gave Yan Zhong some money and asked him to go into the city to buy some wine and come back. He returned to his room and meditated on the lottery in his mind.

The last time the bond value with Zhang Fei exceeded 60, Liu Xin obtained two [Niger Head Jujube] saplings and planted them in the farmyard. One box of [Lao Ganma] has not yet been extracted, and a little [Loyalty Value] has been spared.

For Liu Xinlai, this was the least rewarding time.

Liu Xin was already a little resistant to Zhang Fei. In order to increase the bond value with Zhang Fei, he used as many good things as possible and risked his life to get these two things in the end. He might as well focus on Zhou Tai. Zhang Fei was destined not to

He is my favorite. As of now, the bond value is 60 points, and the recruitment success rate is only 1.2%.

Thinking about the lottery in her mind, Liu Xin looked at the three turntables spinning at the same time and finally stopped at about the same time, with a smile on Liu Xin's face.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the host for drawing the reward [one hundred kilograms of my73 corn seeds], a [high-quality long bow], and a box of [Lao Ganma]."

Liu Xin originally wanted to use this selection opportunity to get [Corn Seeds], but he didn't expect that he was asked to draw it directly, and this time he directly drew [Exquisite Longbow]. He drew the highest value in two of the three draws.

, a box of [Lao Ganma] is included.

Seeing that there was another randomly selected lottery opportunity, Liu Xin originally wanted to draw the [Sweet Potato] directly, but it was already past the sweet potato planting season, so he chose it and couldn't use it for the time being, so he was anxious and let him eat it directly.

That's not good.

Extracting the [Excellent Longbow], Liu Xin saw that the longbow was at least five feet long. The bow was made of an unknown alloy, and the bowstring was also a special material from later generations. When he picked up the bow, it felt like it weighed at least 20 pounds, but as a

It's not very heavy for a bow and arrow.

Liu Xin pulled the bow string, but it was only half pulled before it could no longer be pulled. He picked up the quiver that came with the system and took out an arrow. This arrow actually weighed more than five kilograms, and the arrow body was entirely made of alloy.

The arrowhead is very exquisite and reveals a hint of sharpness. There are four grooves on it that extend all the way to the arrow body, which makes people feel scared when they look at it.

Liu Xin also discovered that there was a row of shallow scales on the arrow. Each scale represented the power of one stone. Liu Xin could only pull 3 stones before he could no longer pull it.

This bow and arrows are really good things. Liu Xin remembered that Zhou Tai had also learned archery, so it would be best to give him this bow and arrows as a gift. He put the bow, arrows and arrow pot in the house, and when he went out, he saw Zhou Tai discussing the construction of the house with Carpenter Sun.

thing.

"Master Liu, congratulations! I, Sun Tzu, hope that Master Liu will take more care of you for taking in a retainer like Zhuangshi Zhou!" Carpenter Sun said to Liu Xin.

There was a shortage of food in the city, and Carpenter Sun knew that there was plenty of food in Liu Xin's village. He said this because he wanted to leave a way out for himself. If the city became unstable in the future, he would have multiple ways out.

"Brother Sun, if you are willing, move your carpentry workshop to my farmyard. I, Liu Xin, will have something to eat, and your family will be indispensable.

This only leaves the construction of the upper house. I want to build two more rows of houses behind the lower house in the courtyard. Brother Sun, how much should I add?" Liu Xin said to Carpenter Sun.

"Add two more rows? You can pay for 40 rooms." Carpenter Sun said.

This price is obviously very cheap. Liu Xin will definitely need to recruit servants to add 40 servants. The Zhang family is the only one with more than 60 servants outside the city. Carpenter Sun couldn't help but sigh at Liu Xin's rapid rise.

Being able to start buying grain in March is a sign of vision and strength. Now all the grain in the city is sold, and the worst coarse grains have been sold for 100 yuan per bushel. Liu Xin has already made ten times the profit from his grain.

Moreover, now food can not only be measured by money, if you have food, you will have strength.

"Then let's talk about it. I'll have someone give you 10,000 yuan tomorrow, and I'll give you the rest after Zhuangzi is finished. Brother Sun, I plan to build a reservoir at the foot of the mountain and get a water tanker to divert the water to Zhuangzi.

Come on, can you make a waterwheel like this?" Liu Xin said, taking a small stone and drawing the appearance of a waterwheel on the ground for Carpenter Sun. When Carpenter Sun heard something that was difficult to understand, Liu Xin carefully painted it.

he explained.

"Master Liu is a great talent! He can think of such an exquisite waterwheel. This waterwheel needs to be about four feet in size. It can send water to a height of more than two feet without manpower. It can be done, but

The wood alone costs tens of thousands of dollars, and if the waterwheel is built, it will cost at least more than 20,000 dollars." Carpenter Sun thought for a moment and said to Liu Xin.

Not long after, the white flour pancakes at the village were ready, and Yan Zhong came back from buying wine. Everyone started eating and drinking happily. After three rounds of wine, Liu Xin went back to the house and took out the [Excellent Longbow], which was envied by everyone.

He looked down at Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai looked at the exquisite [Excellent Longbow] and felt happy, but when he weighed it in his hand, he felt a little disappointed. Only when this longbow is heavy enough can it withstand more strength, shoot farther, and be more powerful.

Accurate and faster, no matter how beautiful or impractical the bow is, it won't work.

"Brother Zhou, everyone is here, can you try an arrow?" Liu Xin suggested, and everyone else agreed, letting Zhou Tai try the bow.

Zhou Tai took out an arrow from the exquisite quiver. Just taking a look at it, his eyes couldn't leave it. Although this arrow was only heavy on the head, the arrow body was made of special materials. As a tool for practicing bowing,

Man, he can tell at a glance that the arrows are extraordinary.

"I'm going to set up an arrow target." Yan Zhong knew Zhou Tai's archery skills, so he was going to set up an arrow target for him.

"Go farther, just a hundred steps!" Liu Xin said.

One step is about 1.5 meters, and one hundred steps is 150 meters. At this time, the effective range of most bows and arrows is 50 to 80 meters, and they lose their accuracy after 120 meters.

Zhou Tai was a little surprised when he heard this, but did not refute. He waited for Yan Zhong to place the target and slowly pulled the bowstring. He saw that the long bow changed from a crescent shape to a half-moon shape.

Feeling that the long bow could still withstand his own strength, Zhou Tai pulled the long bow to the 8-stone position. Liu Xin was also surprised by his great strength.

One stone is 30 kilograms, and 8 stones is 240 kilograms. This is the strength of one hand. If a punch is punched, it will not kill someone.

Zhou Tai opened the bow to the 8-stone position but it couldn't move. He let go of his right hand and no one saw how the arrow flew out. They only heard a slight "bang" sound, and the dustpan used as the target did not fall down.

Yan Zhong went over to look at the dustpan and saw a hole as thick as a finger. Zhou Tai shot directly through the dustpan without letting it fall. This long bow was so powerful.

"What a treasure bow. No one can defend it within a hundred steps." Zhou Tai said happily.

"Yan Huyuan, take the wooden stake a hundred steps further." Liu Xin said to Yan Zhong.

Two hundred steps equals 300 meters, the length of Liu Xin's entire courtyard. Zhou Tai did not refuse. He waited for Yan Zhong to stabilize the wooden stake and opened the bow to the maximum. Before everyone could react, the wooden stake fell to the ground in the distance, and half of the arrow shaft was already gone.
