Seeing Qin Yao sit down again, Song Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
But he was still worried, and repeatedly asked her to wait for a while and he would personally send her out. After getting her promise, he hurried back to the bedroom with his wife to change into casual clothes.
The master arrived first, and Song Zhang asked someone to make a new Shenbi bow, which was twice as long as the commonly used bows and was 1.36 meters tall when standing up.
The bow body is made of multiple pieces of bamboo, and a layer of rope is wrapped around the bow. The handle is wrapped with layers of thin rope made of three strands of soft and tough silk.
The bow is black, and the handle is light silver. It feels heavy in the hand. Qin Yao picked it up and pressed her hand slightly, feeling a very textured feeling.
Looking at the bowstring again, it has a faint metallic luster. I don't know what metal was used to forge it, but it has extremely strong tension.
A good bow needs good arrows. The master handed over the quiver and Qin Yao opened it. Inside were ten enlarged arrows that were much thicker and longer than ordinary arrows.
It is 1.2 meters long and as thick as a human finger. The arrowhead is made of fine steel in a triangular inverted hook shape. The tail feathers are made of rare bird feathers, each one is stiff and smooth. Qin Yao touched it again and again and couldn't let it go.
With a bow and arrow like this in hand, not only can you shoot people, you can even penetrate war horses!
"Master, which master made this? I like it so much that I want to go to his house to thank him in person." Qin Yao asked tentatively, holding the bow and arrow, looking excited.
She had been in Kaiyang County for so long, but she had never heard of such a great forging master.
The master shook his head and said, "Madam Qin, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know either."
At this time, Song Zhang, who had changed his clothes, came back and just heard Qin Yao's question. He smiled and asked her if she was satisfied.
Qin Yao showed her love for this bow and arrow without hesitation. She was so fond of it that she couldn't bear to let the bow string go empty.
He held the arrow on the bow, pulled the bow to its full extent and then slowly released it. The master broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that the arrow would slip out of his hand and fly out.
Most people's arm strength is simply not enough to fully draw the bow, but Qin Yao can still fully draw it and then slowly release it. It is hard to imagine how strong she is.
If conditions were not so limited and there was no choice, Qin Yao would certainly prefer to carry the assault wooden warehouse weighing dozens of kilograms.
However, she was already very satisfied with getting this divine arm bow today.
It would be perfect if we could get the master's information.
Qin Yao asked openly, and Song Zhang did not hide his intention from her, but said regretfully:
"It is fate that the master was traveling in Kaiyang County and I happened to meet him. That is why I have this set of bows and arrows to compensate Madam Qin."
"If you deliberately go looking for him, I'm afraid it won't be easy to meet him."
Qin Yao thought to herself, I don’t believe you at all.
But it was also guessed that Song Zhang had spent a lot of blood on this bow and arrow, and he didn't want her, a dangerous person, to meet such a forging master.
After all, it was difficult for her to guarantee that she would not force the master to forge a heaven-defying weapon.
"If I can't meet him, then I won't meet him." Qin Yao thought positively, slung the bow and arrow skillfully over her shoulder, and said with a smile: "The world is so big, there is no need to worry about not having skilled craftsmen!"
If this set of bows and arrows can be used until old age, it would be another kind of luck.
What I’m afraid of is that next time, there will be more and more people like Song Zhang coming to find me, and the task will become more and more difficult.
After packing up the bow and arrows, Qin Yao stood up and told Song Zhang, "When your term is up, don't come to me again."
Song Zhang's expression was awkward for a moment. He coughed twice uncomfortably and said weakly, "I have something I want to discuss with Madam Qin. Is it convenient?"
Qin Yao: “It’s inconvenient!”
Song Zhang: “.”
After all, for the sake of his status as the county magistrate, Qin Yao followed Song Zhang to the backyard of the county government office and glanced through the vase door at the women in the yard who were at a loss, confused, helpless, and sobbing.
When his true intentions were exposed, Song Zhang stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table.
"These women are homeless, and there is no place willing to take them in. I heard that your stationery factory, Madam Qin, is recruiting female workers. Can you give these poor women a place to stay?"
After he finished speaking, Song Zhang discovered that the smile that Qin Yao had just received the bow and arrow was gone. She had no expression on her face and was staring at him dangerously, as if he were a dead person.
Qin Yao said in a deep voice: "Sir, do you think I am doing charity? The factory is fully staffed, and there are even surpluses due to favors from various families. My small stationery factory cannot accommodate the twenty-three of you."
Song Zhang frowned slightly and said anxiously, "But you are the only one who can take them in. Are you going to watch them become desperate and jump into the river to die?"
Qin Yao was so speechless that she didn't even want to get angry. How dare someone point fingers at her and take advantage of her.
Qin Yao looked at Song Zhang and reminded him word by word: "You shouldn't ask me about this matter. You should ask other businessmen who run factories why they don't hire female workers."
Picking up her bag, Qin Yao turned around and walked away.
When he reached the door, he turned back and reminded, "Sir, don't forget my knife and the person you want to give me."
"By the way, let me tell you something. If you want to truly solve the problem, you must understand the source of the problem and solve it."
Instead of morally blackmailing her, an innocent passerby.
Song Zhang paused for a moment, then reluctantly replied: "I'll send it to you tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person had already disappeared.
Song Zhang held his forehead with his hand, feeling so annoyed that he wanted to do something destructive to vent his anger.
But he was a mature middle-aged man and he quickly suppressed this impulsive emotion.
Although Qin Yao's cold rejection was unexpected, every word she said was correct.
Song Zhang shouted outside: "Someone come!"
The personal attendant hurried in and bowed his head to obey the order.
Song Zhang picked up his pen and quickly wrote ten invitations, and asked his followers to send them to the homes of the wealthy families in the county, "Just say it's my birthday, and invite them to come to my house for dinner to celebrate."
When attending a birthday party, one must bring birthday gifts. In addition to accommodating the victimized women, one can also get some of the fat from the beef.
In this way, all the children can attend free school next year.
Song Zhang is not a pedantic and stubborn person. He has his bottom line and his principles.
But at the same time, with his family background and years of immersion, he is well versed in the ins and outs of officialdom.
He knows exactly what method to use to deal with different people.
As for Qin Yao, she is indeed an exception.
He cannot control such a person and cannot bring him under his command and use him for his own purposes.
But as long as he can keep peace, it will be enough to help him rise to the top.
When Qin Yao led Old Huang, who had been treated by a veterinarian, out of the county government stable, she happened to see Song Zhang's servant taking the invitation and leaving in a sedan chair.
She thought that Song Zhang could still be saved, as he really listened to advice.
Qin Yao led the horse out of the city along the street. Passing by a snack stall, she bought a lot and planned to take them home to satisfy her children's cravings.
My family hasn’t bought any snacks for a long time since the Chinese New Year.
Not to mention the children, she herself is greedy.
"Madam! Madam!"
"Here! Here!"
Qin Yao had just led the horse out of the city gate when a familiar voice came from the front.
I looked up unexpectedly. Why is Liu Ji here?
