A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 132 Armor
"Girl, the young master said that you must write, otherwise he will send someone over to take you away forcibly." Xiao Ling covered her mouth with a smile, and whispered Xiao Qian's threat.

"Hmph, count him as cruel! Wait until I'm done." Seeing that she couldn't escape, Xin Changning had no choice but to agree. After finishing the accounts, she began to write letters.

I haven't written a letter for many years, especially to a man who admires me. It feels weird no matter how I think about it. I just thought about calling her for a long time at the beginning; write Xiao Qian, hello?If someone sees it, it will appear too disrespectful to Xiao Qian.

Dear Mr. Xiao, uh, why do you feel so literary and sour?Brother Xiao?Vomit, too exaggerated!Little Lord?Ah bah, she's not his slave.

After much deliberation, Xin Changning wrote hello, boy!
Then she wrote a large piece of paper eloquently, the content was all about the recent process of opening a store to make money.It wasn't until I was tired of writing that I realized that I should care about Xiao Qian's current life.Then he added a few more words: "How are you doing now, is life in the military camp easier? If you have any difficulties or ideas, you can tell me, maybe I can help you complete it..."

"Her life is going well!" When he saw the letter, Xiao Qian was wearing a military uniform, lying on the snow nest and eating meatloaf.

His hands were stiff from the cold, and while reading the letter, half of the unfinished meatloaf fell to the ground.

"I'll go!" Xiao Qian let out a depressed breath, seeing Xiao Yi picking up the meatloaf, he looked thoughtfully at the desolate mountains and plains around him, and said to himself that there is a problem, but I don't know if you can solve it?
The wilderness in the northwest is really too cold!The armor on his body is too heavy, and its performance against the cold is poor. High-end fur cloaks are not suitable for wearing in battle.Xiao Qian has been tracking the enemy for the past few days. At the beginning, he ran in a hurry and didn't wear a cloak at all, he only wore armor. When he was exhausted, he really felt that he would be frozen to death if he was not exhausted.

Even he is like this, one can imagine how difficult the life of ordinary soldiers is!

Don't wear armor, and worry that a cold arrow will suddenly appear from somewhere and shoot yourself to death!
As for the soft hedgehog armor, it is something fabricated in martial arts novels, but I really can't find it in reality!
So when replying to the letter, Xiao Qian wrote: MYdearBaby, I am good at everything here, but the armor is too cold and heavy to wear. Do you know how to improve the armor... Also, the last time the crossbow was made, the lethality It is extremely powerful, I equipped it with the personal guards, and fought a few small battles, which frightened the enemy. Even my father who is not a stepfather but better than a stepfather came to inquire.And the vegetable cultivation technique is also good. When I return to the camp in triumph this time, I will be able to drink fresh green cabbage soup...

When Xin Changning received the letter, it was Chinese New Year. This was her first year after coming to this world. The business went smoothly, and she also had extra money in her hand. very rich.

Also because of the money she made, and for better cooperation in the future, she not only repaid the wages of the girls and daughters-in-law who made bedding in the village, but also gave each family an extra two catties of pork as an annual gift.The families of those people who got there were very happy, and all of them came to pay New Year's greetings, and the house became very lively because of this.

When Xin Changning was reading the letter, Xiao Changxi was wearing brand new clothes, and accompanied by a group of people, was setting off firecrackers. The dog named Fa Cai had been trained by Xiao Ling for a few days, but he didn't bark wildly from the fright of the firecrackers, and just kept quiet. Quietly guard the house at the door.

Mrs. Liu sat in front of Xin Xiucai's memorial tablet, shedding tears while offering incense, thanking God for giving her a capable daughter...

Xin Changning was feeling happy about the happiness of this family, when he suddenly saw Xiao Qian asking her to improve the armor, he couldn't help but wiped it, and blurted out a dirty word.

Improved armor!He can really speak, she has never seen a few sets of armor, what can I use to help him improve?I really think she is a universal encyclopedia, knowing everything!

But complaints are complaints. Since he raised it, it can be seen that the current armor is quite tortured.

After reading the letter, Xin Changning frowned tightly, trying to remember.

She didn't pay much attention to ancient armor, she only knew that the strongest defense should be European plate armor, which is the kind of armor that covers the whole body in an iron cover in European costume dramas, wearing an armor like an iron man .

But that thing doesn't keep warm, and it's extremely expensive to make. A set of armor can be exchanged for a farm, which is a symbol of wealth.If there was a circle of friends in that era, the rich and handsome in Europe would be ashamed to go out to date girls if they didn't show photos of suits of armor.

For the rest, the ancient chain mail, Mingguang armor, and step armor of my Dazhonghua family are all heavy and complicated, and they are also not warm.

It's not that easy to make it light, warm, and defensive enough for the Northwest Cavalry!But wait, it seems that there really is one kind, which is a bit ugly.

Xin Changning's mind suddenly popped up the Qing Dynasty TV series he had watched; the Qing army in it wore a kind of ugly armor on the battlefield, which belonged to the cotton armor category.It is to sandwich iron sheets inside the cotton coat, which is not only light in weight and warm, but also has a certain defense ability against cold weapons and firearms.

The most important thing is that the cotton armor is low in cost, easy to manufacture, and the whole is modular assembly.Compared with the kind of armor that has to be repaired if one part is broken, the cotton armor only needs to remove the damaged part and replace it with a new one.

The production of cotton armor is very easy. According to historical records, seven catties of cotton are dipped in water and compacted, dried in the sun, iron sheets are sandwiched between two layers of cotton, and finally fixed with copper nails.

This sentence is really too simple, and the specific production must be very complicated.

But Xin Changning hadn't seen the specific method, so she could only write this sentence after deliberation.Then try to recall as much as possible, and prepare to draw in detail as much as possible the pictures of Qing Dynasty cotton armor that I have seen in history books, museums, and TV dramas.

But tonight is the New Year's Eve, so she was not so active in drawing overnight, so she went out to have fun with the villagers for a while, offered incense to Father Xin, and gave Chang Xi and Xiao Ling a red envelope each.

"Girl, I still have a red envelope!" Xiao Ling didn't come here for a long time, and she didn't expect that she would still have an annual gift, so she was very surprised.

"It should be, I heard that big families are like this." The more Xin Changning thought about it, the more he felt that he really put Xiao Qian at ease, and couldn't help pinching his palm again.

"Thank you, miss!" Although Xiao Ling was small, she had a very clear mind. Seeing this, she covered her mouth and smiled very meaningfully.

"Forget it, try to fight for it, let nature take its course, and resign to fate!" Now, Xin Changning doesn't want to avoid her feelings for Xiao Qian, but she still has half the distance of the Pacific Ocean in her heart, so she still doesn't hold much hope.

This year, Xin Changning's family had a lively and lively life, but the Xin family in the same village had a particularly indifferent life.
