"I know wood, but what are steel bars and cement?"
"Is rebar a type of steel?"
“Is cement just muddy water?”
Song Ling'er squatted next to Wang Yuan, looked at the three kittens, and kept chattering.
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "I chose the name casually."
Although Song Ling'er was moved by the cuteness of the little milk cat, she still showed disdain: "What's the use of raising cats? If you want to raise cats, just raise leopards and tigers. Bamboo bears can also be used. They can definitely be used as pets if they grow so big."
Mount."
"Are you still thinking about bamboo bears?" Wang Yuan was quite speechless.
Song Ling'er said depressedly: "It has long since escaped and disappeared. I can't find it anywhere. It must have moved away."
Wang Yuan was gloating in his heart, but on the outside he was serious and advised: "You have no fate with the bamboo bear, so don't worry about it anymore."
"Alas, let's not talk about the bamboo bear," Song Ling'er asked, "Do you want to learn to ride a horse? I can lend you one."
Wang Yuan smiled and asked: "Why not send it as a gift?"
Song Ling'er said: "I dare to give you five hundred taels of high-quality Shuixi war horses, but do you dare to ask for them?"
"Five hundred taels per horse?" Wang Yuan asked in surprise.
Song Ling'er said: "This kind of horse is a tribute. The Song family donates horses to the court every few years, and can only donate more than ten horses each time."
"Okay..." Wang Yuan had nothing to say.
According to the "Book of Guizhou: Shuixi Wumeng Horse" records: "Shuixi Wumeng Horse is close to the west, so there are many good horses. The top ones can be worth hundreds of gold, and the middle ones are half as much. The ones that are outside are just ordinary horses. And the other ones are ordinary horses.
The barbarians also loved the superior one, and they refused to vlog it or ride it frequently. They only used it as a sacrifice to ghosts, and they only used it when they were in battle. The death of a child was considered a martyrdom."
This is quite mysterious. The best water horses are worth hundreds of gold, and they are not easy to buy. The chieftains are reluctant to ride them. They are only used in wars and sacrifices. When the horses die, they must be buried with boys and girls.
This statement is definitely an exaggeration, but it can also give a glimpse.
As early as the Southern Song Dynasty, Shuixi horses were already famous. In order to fight the Jin people, the Southern Song Dynasty court often purchased war horses in Shuixi. They are small, strong, easy to feed, and durable. They may be slightly insufficient for plain battles, but not for mountain battles.
It is called a magical tool and can walk as fast as flying on steep and narrow mountain roads.
Why is An's military so powerful?
One of the reasons is to control the origin of Shuisima.
Although the Song family also has land for raising horses, it is not as rich in water and grass as An's, and the output and quality of horses are also much inferior.
Since Guizhou does not produce salt, the price of salt is unbearable. A medium-grade water horse is worth one stone of refined salt in Guizhou, and is priced at least thirty taels of silver. A high-grade water horse, however, does not cost several hundred taels.
Just don't ask the price for money.
"Meow~~meow~~"
The three little kittens meowed even louder.
Wang Yuan and Song Ling'er took the cute creatures back, and they didn't even eat rice or meat cakes, but they drank a lot of rice soup.
Obviously, I haven't been weaned yet.
Wang Yuan asked: "Do you have goat milk at home?"
Song Ling'er said: "Mare's milk is easier to find, so feed them mare's milk."
The three kittens drank mare's milk for half a month, and their bodies grew bigger and bigger, and their food intake became more and more amazing. After weaning, they became very picky and didn't eat much rice, but the meat cakes were delicious. Later, they even learned to catch them by themselves.
mouse.
Yuan Er's injury has long since healed and he has become a little more stable. One day he came over to visit and saw "Steel Bar" holding a small snake in his mouth. He scratched his head and said: "Wang Er, you are a bit weird cat. Why does it look like me?"
Braised Chicken and Tiger'?"
After being reminded, Wang Yuan couldn't help but take a closer look, holding the cat by the back of the neck and saying, "I thought it was a civet cat, but it turns out to be a leopard cat!"
With a flick of his hand, the cat landed.
"Meow~~~"
Gang Gang shouted dissatisfied at the shovel officer, and the little snake in his mouth escaped instantly.
This is a green bamboo leaf, highly poisonous, but it is running away in panic at this moment.
Steel bar lay lazily on the ground, waiting for the little snake to swim to the door, and then rushed over to catch it. He slapped the green bamboo leaf with his paw, then returned to the original place with his mouth, and let go of the snake again.
The little snake ran away quickly and was caught again at the door.
After repeating this several times, the steel bar seemed to get tired of playing with it, and finally bit the poisonous snake to death.
The steel bars here were eating snakes, and Cement suddenly ran in with a chick in its mouth. It lay on Wang Yuan's feet, rubbing its head back and forth, as if it was taking credit for the chick as a trophy.
"I don't want to eat chicken with feathers on," Wang Yuan was extremely depressed. He picked up the cement and lectured, "Don't steal chickens from now on! You've only been weaned for a few days, and you've already learned how to be sneaky."
"Meow~~meow~~"
Cement looked at the shit shoveler and screamed.
"You know how to be cute!" Wang Yuan threw the chick out.
Cement rushed out like lightning, took the chicken back into the house, and bit into it as if no one was watching, sprinkling chicken feathers and blood all over the floor.
These three are not cute, but little ancestors!
However, it can be raised as a hunting dog. Adult ocelots can challenge wild wolves in a single fight, and they will win overwhelmingly. When a lone wolf encounters an ocelot in the wild, it will basically run away in fear, and only three wolves will choose to fight when they get together.
In Wang Yuan's previous life, he built bridges and dug holes. He couldn't find any entertainment activities, so he just used his mobile phone to watch videos.
He once saw a video of a leopard cat dueling with a wild wolf. The speed was too fast for the wild wolf to parry, and finally found the right opportunity to bite out, biting the wild wolf's throat. It was obviously smaller, but it looked like
Like a tiger pouncing on its prey, it pinned the wild wolf to the ground until it died.
No longer paying attention to these three living ancestors, Wang Yuan took out his copybook and began to practice calligraphy. Yuan Er also read the book seriously...well, "Three Character Classic".
"Wang Yuan, come out to hunt soon!" Another living ancestor came.
Yuan Er quickly put down the "Three Character Classic". This guy didn't come to read the book at all, but wanted to ride with Song Ling'er.
Song Ling'er came in with a riding crop and stepped on the snake's head. She was immediately startled: "What is this?"
Wang Yuan chuckled to himself: "The steel bars will eat the rest."
Song Ling'er saw clearly that it was a bloody snake head. She didn't feel disgusted or scared. Instead, she was pleasantly surprised and said, "I haven't been weaned on steel bars for a few days, and I actually learned to catch snakes."
"Cement also caught a chicken," Wang Yuan said. "Today I finally recognized it. All three of them are 'roosters and tigers'."
Song Ling'er held up the steel bar with both hands and examined it carefully. It turned out that it was not a tabby cat. The whole province was covered with leopard spots. In another month, this feature will be more obvious. Those who didn't know it thought it was a little leopard.
Song Ling'er petted the cat and said, "Let's go hunting."
"Wait until I finish writing this copybook." Wang Yuan did not move.
"Boring!"
Song Ling'er could only sit down and wait, holding her cheek with her hands and tilting her head to watch Wang Yuan write.
It has been nearly a month since the Song Clan Study, and Wang Yuan has officially turned eleven.
The speed of calligraphy progress can only be said to be okay, but I learned "Little Four Books" super fast.
Among them, "Mingwu Mengqiu" and "Xinglizi Xun" have long been memorized, and they are all basic ancient common sense. Wang Yuan can understand them by himself without asking the teacher. He only occasionally asks about uncommon words.
"Historical Synopsis" and "Mengqiu of the Past Dynasties" require a lot of effort. Four characters form one sentence, eight characters and one allusion, and the history from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the Song Dynasty is all connected. For many allusions, Wang Yuan needs to ask the teacher, and it is impossible to learn everything by himself.
mastered.
After Wang Yuan finished writing a copybook, before Wang Yuan had time to pick it up, Song Ling'er pulled him and ran out.
The guards had already prepared horses and bows, and Yuan Zhi was like a desert traveler encountering an oasis, running toward a horse with shining eyes.
Wang Yuan came to a half-grown Shuixi horse, smoothed the mane of the horse, and then turned on the horse nimbly. He was learning equestrian skills. He didn't need to ask anyone for advice. He just ran in the mountains. Various terrains were enough.
Exercise the rider's control.
"drive!"
There was a shout and the horse galloped.
The three ocelots also sprang out, but unfortunately they were too young and couldn't keep up after chasing them for a while. They could only watch the cavalry enter the forest.

(I always feel that there is something wrong with the statement about the power of the bow. Lao Wang also checked "Kaogong Ji" and Zheng Xuan's annotations, "Song Hui Yao Editing" and "Wu Bian", and revised it based on the materials from the Pre-Qin, Eastern Han, Song and Ming dynasties.

(One stone in this book is set at 72 kilograms, and the seven-double bow is 84 kilograms. As for the definition of bow power in the Song and Ming Dynasties, the previous chapter is pure nonsense by Lao Wang and has been completely deleted.)
