A group is more powerful

Zimmerman heard that the eldest son and the second son had to follow a knight to follow, and rushed back. Seeing that Marin is so young, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed. However, the medieval Europe was very strict and he did not dare to raise objections. Moreover, some people are willing to take over the eldest son and his big stomach, and he is also somewhat happy. Just hope that this young knight will not become poor because of his eldest son. In that case, the eldest son will be dismissed again.

After the two sides discussed it, Marin naturally planned to put the heavy armor, the lance and the spare stirrup (although it was wooden) with Kahn, and he was happy and the horse was relaxed.

However, although Kahn's strength is large, he has always carried a lot of things that are heavy, and it is also a lot of pressure. At the moment, Marin also has no money to buy a pony for Kahn and Kohler, and the cost of raising horses is also high. So, Marin thought about it and decided to let Zimmerman, who is good at carpentry craft, help him build a wheelbarrow.

Why choose a wheelbarrow? This is not just because the unicycle can pull the goods. When it comes to pulling goods, two-wheeled carts load more. However, the two-wheeled cart has a drawback - it is not able to take complex terrain. For the unicycle, the terrain can be ignored, the mountain road still walks happily. Because the wheelbarrow has only one wheel, it has a strong ability to overcome complex terrain. From the south of Germany to Vienna, Austria, there are many mountain roads. Therefore, an all-terrain wheelbarrow is more suitable than a two-wheeled cart.

Marin and Zimmerman returned to the city and came to the carpenter's shop where Zimmerman worked and started to build a wheelbarrow. Although there are also wheelbarrows in Europe. However, the European wheelbarrow, with its wheels in front, causes people to push up and needs to withstand the power of lifting the car. Therefore, the European unicycle has a smaller loading capacity. And Marin guides Zimmerman to create a Chinese-style wheelbarrow. Chinese unicycle with wheels in the middle. In this way, the cargo on the car, the pressure is mainly on the wheels. European-style unicycles can only carry the weight of two or three people. The Chinese unicycle can carry the weight of six people, and the efficiency is much higher than that of the European unicycle, and it is more labor-saving. When the Chinese unicycle was built, Marin put the armor, the lane and the stirrup on the wheelbarrow. The weight of seven or eighty pounds, for the Kahn with the cart, there was no feeling.

Kahn himself is very powerful, and he is good at long-distance running (also practiced, the poor in the Middle Ages can not afford to ride the carriage, where to walk). Therefore, he pushed the wheelbarrow and it was very easy. Even sometimes, his brother Kohler was tired, and Kahn also let Kohler sit on the wheelbarrow and take a break. And he continued to push the car and follow Marlin on the horse. Marin is also a lot relaxed. After a few pounds of armor weapons have been taken, he has been a lot easier. As relaxed as he is, there is also the horse. If Marin controlled the speed, a lot of time Carl would like to rush.

Kahn is really good at eating. He eats at least 6 pounds of food per day (mainly ordinary brown bread, normal bread without earth and wood chips) and some vegetables, sometimes eating some meat, which costs about 10 Finney per day. Marin didn't have much money right now, so he had to take Kahn and Kohler to live in a low-grade hotel. If the room is bigger, Marin will let Kahn and Kohler slip on the floor. If it is smaller, let Kahn and Kohler live in one room. He lives alone.

And because of the dissatisfaction of the dirty quilt in the hotel in this era, Marin bought a new set of goose down quilts (no cotton in Europe at this time, naturally no cotton quilts), loaded with rain-proof pigskin bags, placed in Kahn On the wheelbarrow. Every time he stayed at the hotel, Marin threw the hotel's original dirty quilt to Kahn and Kohler. And himself, the cover is clean and quilt. After all, Kahn and Kohler are pure medieval people, and there is no discomfort for this. The only thing that didn't fit was that Marlin forced them to take a shower...

then,

These two goods were also refreshed by Marin, and they were not born with filth, and the clothes were clean. This makes the two boys very uncomfortable. After all, they are used to being dirty.

In view of the fact that Marin has two more mouths to eat, and one is a food bucket, Marin decided to restart the hunting plan. Marin's plan is actually very simple, from the town to the depths of the Black Forest, there is a long distance. Not riding a horse, it will be very tired, and the time is not enough. If it is dark, it stays in the forest and is easily eaten by wolves.

To this end, Marin let Kahn stay at the hotel, taking care of his armor and lance. And he himself, carrying a bow and arrow, and riding with Kohler to the depths of the Black Forest.

Kohler is still a 15-year-old child, and still small. Its weight is estimated to be seventy or eighty pounds. He and Marin shared a ride, in fact, and Marin's body armor, hand-held weapons are not very different, in this certain period of time, war horse is fully able to withstand it. If you ride with Kahn, it is estimated that Carl can't stand it. (Artimer's note: poor horse)

In the depths of the Black Forest, Marin dismissed Kohler to let him take the horse and wait for him, and he himself, with bows and arrows, sneaked into the deer in the forest.

By the cover of the tall weeds in the forest, Marin managed to get close to a group of red deer. Then, at a distance of 30 meters, Marin scored an arrow and shot a strong male red deer. But when shooting other red deer that fled. Of course, Marin is not discouraged. He can hunt down a big red deer. It is already a good luck. After that, Marin shot two hares again. At noon, Marin bundled the body of the wild deer and the hare and placed it on the horse. And he and Kohler took the horse back and walked.

Back at the hotel, Marin asked the cook to roast two fat hares. As a result, Kahn ate a whole large roast hare, while Marin and Kohler separated another slightly smaller one.

Early the next morning, Marin asked Kahn to push the body of the red deer with a wheelbarrow, enter the nearest city, and sell the red deer.This red deer is smaller than Marin's last capture. Moreover, because of the middle arrow, the buckskin suffered some damage. Therefore, Marin only sold 800 Finney. However, this also made Marlin very happy. It was so easy to see Marin making money, and Kahn's heart tickles. The next day, at the request of Kahn, the caretaker of his armor and lance, he took Kahn and Kohler and went to the Black Forest again. Of course, because the horses do not move, they have limited distance into the forest. But fortunately, they did meet the prey.

Kahn thought it would be easy to shoot the wild deer with a bow and arrow, so Marin silently handed the bow to Kahn and asked him to try. Sure enough, Kahn has no talent for archery, and he is basically playing the lottery, and it is very outrageous. Kohler also tried, although the head is much better than Kahn, but it did not kill. After all, the art of archery is not understandable overnight. Especially the shooting of wild deer tens of meters away, it is really very important. Ordinary people may shoot a target 10 meters away, and they can get on the target after many exercises. However, the prey that was shot thirty or forty meters away so it could not be trained in a short time. And those wild animals with high alertness are unlikely to get you close to him within ten meters. Therefore, if it is not an old hunter, it is difficult to hunt with bows and arrows. It is easier to aim at it with crossbow. However, theirs many places in the Middle Ages in Europe where it is outlawed. You want to buy, and no one dares to sell it. Although the 15th century law order was not as thorough as it used to be, it is difficult for the average person who want to obtain a crossbow. Because the nobles are also afraid that civilians will use it for assassination to kill them, so most of them support the prohibition of such weapon. Only the army will be allowed to equip the crossbow. Civilians are banned and may be accused of having the motive to assassinate the nobility. After the two failed, they had to admire Marin's superb shooting and lament on the power of the knight. In fact, it was his boring life, and it took him a few years to practice in his hometown. For the average European knight, who is going to waste time practicing archery? Only wretched countries like the United Kingdom know how the Knights fight in France, and they have specially developed the Longbows. Generally speaking, on the European continent, only those old hunters are proficient in archery. With the advent of arquebuses, many hunters who followed the pace of the times also switched to arquebuses and gave up the bows that were difficult to train.

After Kahn and Kohler gave up the archery attempt, Marin once again entered the forest to hunt. Kohler's brain is clever. He suggested that after Marin's sneak attack, let Kahn, a stupid big man who runs, go out in a certain direction, drive out the deer group, and drive the deer group in the direction of Marin's ambush. In this way, Marin can still get a second shot. Unlike before, after shooting the first deer, the rest of the deer escaped. Marin adopted this opinion, allowing Kahn to ambush in the other direction of the deer. When Marin's first arrow was shot, Kahn suddenly ran out and rushed to the deer group, driving the deer group in the direction of Ma Lin's ambush.

The first match was not successful, because Kahn took the deer group in the wrong direction. After a few times, Kahn gradually grasped the way to drive the deer. Even when the deer group deviated from the predetermined direction, Kahn also used the method of throwing stones to forcibly correct the direction of the deer's escape. Marin found that Kahn couldn't shoot, but it was good to lose the stone. Then, after the first time, the deer group fled in the ambush of Marin.

Marin faced the deer group that rushed over, took the arrow and opened the bow, and took another one. Then the deer swarmed and found that the front was a trap. Then they started to turn around and escape.

However, it is time to forcefully stop in the run and then change direction. After all, deer are deer, not humans, and their brains react more slowly. When the direction was changed, the deer group was obviously stunned. The last check, with the cooperation of the three, for a long time, actually hunted three deer.

"Sure enough, as a team it is more powerful. How do you say that words. A group is more powerful!" Marin was very emotional. I think that when I was hunting, I was always worried that the horse was stolen. Today, when hunting, Kohler is responsible for watching the horse, and Kahn cooperates with the prey to greatly enhance efficiency.

The next day, Marin pulled the three deer into the city again and sold 1900 Finney. was also a huge sum of money. At least, it is no problem to feed the food barrels of Kahn and Little Kohler.

After that, considering that Kohler's body is not strong, it can't be done for a long time. So, Marin spent 1000 Finney, bought a half-sized calf, and equipped with a saddle, let Kohler ride on the road.

Unlike cows and horses, horses are more delicate and need to be eaten regularly. And cattle, usually only need to eat grass. Only when the land is cultivated, the physical energy consumption is too large, and it is necessary to add a meal. It can be said that the cost of raising cattle is much lower than raising horses. This is one of the important reasons why the ancient Chinese farmers raised cattle and cultivated land without raising horses.

Marin bought a cow for Kohler riding, and there is also a big reason to consider the cost of feeding. His own horses cost ten Finneys a day. If you buy another horse, the capital consumption will be bigger. Therefore, buying a cow is the best choice. The calf bought for Kohler, has quick temper, and they are still not convinced. However, Marin first got the calf drunk with a spirit, and then gave a copper ring to the nose of the cow, and the calf immediately became docile.

In the days that followed, Marin usually left the equipment in the hotel, then took a horse and a cow with Kahn and Kohler and went hunting in the depths of the Black Forest. The specific allocation is - Marin and Kohler riding, Kahn riding a cow. After arriving at the ground, Kohler took care of the horse and the cow, while Kahn went to Maring to go hunting.

In this way, this three-person gold combination hunted a quartet in the Black Forest, hunted a lot of prey, and sold for a lot of money. Then they hunted around the Danube River in the eastern part of the Black Forest, Marin had earned more than 100 marks by selling prey, and replaced most of them with gold coins.
