Chapter 1054 Changping County Head 11

There are only bows and arrows in the mansion. I went to ask for a archery target and brought the target for archery.

Xining picked up the bow and arrow and recalled whether he had any previous experience of shooting archery, but the result was empty. The previous owners did not have the ability to shoot archery.

It was really troublesome. Xining used all her strength to pull the bow and shot an arrow at the target, but the arrow fell softly before it even reached the target.

The maid covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Xining sighed deeply, looking at her sigh: "It's really not easy." She stretched out her hand to lift the bow, and Jing'er next to her obediently took it over quickly.

Xining looked around and said, "Hey, you guys try too!"

She leaned aside and watched the maids shoot arrows and sway the fans leisurely, which was also fun.

The maids also shot their first time, most of them off the target, and a few shots were far away from the bull's eye.

Butler Xiao walked in and an arrow shot towards him, which scared him to fall to the ground, and the arrow fell to the ground three steps away due to insufficient momentum.

"Hahaha..." The maids all laughed.

Xining also smiled and asked, "Butler Xiao, I met just now, why are you here again now? Is there anything wrong?"

"These little girls are scared to death." Butler Xiao glared at the maids, stood up, patted his clothes, and saluted: "The county lord has bought all the shops purchased by the county lord, please inform the county lord."

"Oh, have you bought it?" Look at the speed, these are all shops. And there is no forced buying and selling. When you hear someone willing to buy, you are willing to sell and sublease it. It can be seen that the merchants here are worried that once the Huns fight, they will occupy the city and lose all their money.

Xining calculated the time: "Then let's go and have a look tomorrow morning."

"Yes, county lord!" Butler Xiao bowed again.

"Hey~" Xining thought of: "This place is popular for archery and martial arts practice?"

Butler Xiao thought and said, "This place is at the handover between Han and Hu, and has changed hands many times. The people are more tough and can ride and shoot."

"That's it..." Xining had another idea: "Then I'll hold an archery competition, with the first place being the prize of ten taels, the second place being the gold 5 taels, the third place being the silver 10 taels. The fourth to tenth place being the silver 5 taels. The eleven to twenty places being the money is a string. No matter the age or the age of the age, they can participate."

The maids were all happy when they heard such a generous bonus.

Xining smiled and said, "Go and tell County Magistrate Zhou. If it doesn't matter, just set it in the slack season after the autumn. Don't always do nothing except beheading the heads."

Butler Xiao wanted to speak but stopped, and finally bowed: "Yes, the county lord." Anyway, the money belongs to others, so they can spend whatever they want. Even if there is no tax for 300 households, a salary of 500 s of county lord alone is actually enough. Butler Lin is really greedy, but this county lord spends really well, and the warehouse is full of good things.

After Butler Xiao went out, a maid couldn't help asking: "County Lord, can we participate?"

Xining nodded: "Of course, you can participate regardless of age or age. If you have time, practice, don't lose. If you can't win or reward, you will cry."

The maids were suddenly like seven or eight birds, chirping: "No, I didn't. My arrows just now hit the target... Well, there was another one that almost shot Butler Xiao. Look, it scared Butler Xiao's face so white..."

Xining shook the fan and squinted her eyes and listened.

"The county lord moistens his throat." Jing'er brought a bowl of sugar water at the right time: "The county lord is about to hold a competition? It will cost thirty or forty gold during this trip."

"If you want to have flowers, you will be suffocated to death." Xining took the candy water and started drinking it. In fact, if you want to have flowers, you can keep them for the Huns. As long as you spend the money on the right path, it will be better than giving it to others whether it is effective or not.

Butler Xiao sent someone to the yamen to find County Magistrate Zhou and said that the competition was going to be held. County Magistrate Zhou and his master sat face to face and talked.

What exactly did this county lord come from? How did he connect one by one? How could he do something to compete for? He was preparing to take out gold and silver as the lottery.

After talking for a long time, he didn't say anything. County Magistrate Zhou asked the master to draw up a competition announcement and process first. After reading it, he felt that there was no problem, so he went to the county magistrate to ask for instructions. After all, someone paid the money and came to discuss it with him. It was also a good thing that the government and Xinlai County mainly enjoyed the people!

If you post an announcement, you will naturally have a superb archery to go first place, which is ten taels of gold. But more people think about how to squeeze into twenty and get a bunch of money. You can buy a piece of meat for ten, and then go home and have a tooth-beating sacrifice for the whole family.

The next day, when the master who had been in the middle of the night presented a roll of bamboo slips, Xining took Jing'er and got on the carriage and went to the street market.

Jing'er curiously lifted the roller blinds on the car window for a short section and looked out.

Although the street market here is not as good as the capital and the Qinling royal city, it is also very lively. Not only are there shops on the street, but there are also mobile vendors. Huns peddlers drove a few sheep to the market, planning to buy sheep and change some fabrics, salt and pottery to go back.

In the Xiongnu, there were many cattle, sheep and horses, any daily necessities were scarce. The coarse salt made from a few lagoons was far inferior to the fine salt in the Central Plains, and there was no need to mention cloth and pottery. Some of the things they exchanged were for their own use, and some were for business. They could be sold at high prices when they were sold at the Xiongnu and could be exchanged for more sheep.

Xining leaned against the cushion placed in the car, closing her eyes to rest.

According to the previous plot, today is when the county lord met with the Xiongnu prince Uveda. Although the county lord was frightened and trembled, his natural beauty made Uveda unforgettable. After returning, Uveda was obsessed with it and sent someone to inquire, but the sent people got nothing. It was not until he stepped into the county lord's mansion that he found that the woman he liked was the county lord. The county lord wore a canonized robes and hanged himself on his beam.

It was such a tragic scene. When the master heard that the Huns were cruel, he was even more crazy about the Han women who captured the captives. Even if it was the Yan family, the father would have inherited the son, and the brothers would have accepted the brothers, let alone ordinary women.

In this dynasty, it is not necessary for women to remarry. Emperor Wu's mother entered the palace to be a beauty after remarrying. But marrying me and marrying my son is too horrifying. Therefore, whenever the princess or replace the palace maids, she would cry like a pear blossom and rain, and she would die.

I don’t know how Uveda treats his body master. After all, the body master is too anxious to prove it. Since she did it again, what would she plan to do this time!

The owner left the house to pass the time on the street, and she went to see the shop she bought. The reasons were different, but she wore the same, carriage and horse. In order to avoid suspicion, she specially used an ordinary ox cart and wore ordinary clothes.

But the worst clothes in the county lord's mansion are equal to the clothes of the women's family members of the government and gentry here.
