The hunters of Henan Province listened and thought with smiles on their faces.
They hunted for a living, and their families were worried every time they went into the mountains.
Hunter's huts were far apart, and some of them could not be reached in a day.
How could they have the energy to build a small house in the deep mountains and forests?
The main reason was that there was no organization. Everyone just followed the same rules.
When a hunter's hut was being built, a hunter would usually build a temporary hut first, and the hunter behind him would go to the place to look before building another hut.
Once the number of times increased, it would become fixed. Some people just happened to hunt a lot of prey and put them in.
It was formed slowly and not fixed all at once.
Now that there was an organization, there would be ample resources for the later stages. Not only would Hunters like himself go up the mountain, the Winged Knights and the other sixteen would also follow.
Then, they would hire woodcutters and porters to deliver large amounts of goods.
According to the plan, a small house would be built every twenty to thirty li, and the place would be densely packed.
It said that it was dog food, good food that was specially made to feed dogs.
Hunting was safer. With more prey, their income would increase and their lives would become better.
Hu Feng chimed in from the side: "Let's make something clear first. In the past, when wild beasts hurt people and wild boars came down from the mountains to harm crops, the yamen offered a reward.
Once the hunters' huts were completed, if similar situations occurred again, the yamen would not offer a reward.
We have to go out and help. If we can't get the reward, we can only get the reward from the government.
Of course, after entering the mountain, the prey will belong to you. If everyone cooperates, we will divide it according to the rules. "
"That's right. Since I've given you benefits, I have to contribute."
"Basically, there won't be any wild boars coming down the mountain. As long as the huts are built inside, we will be responsible for cleaning them up."
"Just drive them out. There are a lot of wild animals on the mountain. It won't make a difference."
The local hunters started to talk about it. They didn't care about the reward.
A reward was a special case. Usually, a reward would only be offered for a dead person. The yamen could not sit by and do nothing.
The hunter's hut was the foundation of their livelihood. With a hut, everyone could work together to hunt the big prey.
"In order to ensure everyone's safety, all the hunters' huts in the future, including the ones in the capital, will be equipped with two crossbows."
A voice rang out. Everyone immediately looked over. Who was it? Daring to equip them with crossbows?
"Dongzhu." Zhuangzi's craftsmen said in unison.
"Li Dongzhu!" The others understood the identity of this person and hurriedly bowed.
"I'll give you the crossbow, but you're not allowed to take it away unless there's a very special situation.
For example, if he was injured and couldn't use the bow, he would have to rush down the mountain. The crossbow was easier to operate.
At this time, you are allowed to take it and go to the yamen at the foot of the mountain to report the situation. "
Li Yi added that the crossbow was in the hunter's hut.
It was mainly used for defense, not offense.
Injured and unable to draw the bow, the crossbow could be opened with one hand. Even if he clenched his teeth, he could shoot through the small window and kill the wild beasts outside.
Their main targets were wolves, bears, and wild boars. Under normal circumstances, tigers and leopards would not stay outside human residences.
Tigers and leopards were afraid of getting hurt. When they met people and dogs, they would try their best to stay away from them unless they were too hungry.
Tigers had a special characteristic. Once they succeeded in eating humans, they would focus on hunting humans.
Therefore, if the yamen discovered a tiger eating a human, they would guarantee a reward.
The power of a crossbow had always been greater than that of a bow. Otherwise, why would the imperial court ban crossbows?
"Li Dongzhu, aren't you afraid that someone will use the crossbow to do bad things?"
Some hunters hoped that there would be crossbows in the hut, but they were also worried that something might go wrong.
"The Hunter's Hut nearby doesn't match the Hunter's Hut. Only the Hunter's Hut from afar can be placed there. What's the Hunter doing with it?
Who was he going to kill with the crossbow? If a Hunter wanted to kill someone, having a crossbow or not wouldn't make much of a difference.
Everyone should understand that if you want to kill the county magistrate, all of you can do it. The few yamen runners around the county magistrate can't prevent you from sneak attacks and assassinations. "
Li Yi laid out the truth. Those who had mastered a certain amount of hunting skills were actually more law-abiding.
Hunters mainly made a living by hunting, not by killing and robbing.
They had no problem giving them guns. Just like during his time, they allowed people in special places to own guns and had to report it.
Those who were qualified to use guns had never taken them to the city to kill or rob.
If they did not allow guns, they were afraid that other foreigners would steal them.
In fact, it was useless to steal them. If they stole a gun and bullets, how could they replicate it?
The metal of a gun was different, and gunpowder was even more so.
"Li Dongzhu, the hunter's hut has been repaired. When we hunt, we still want to improve it. Can we modify it?
For example, some places felt that there was no problem when the hut was built, but later on, when we used it, we found that it was inconvenient.
Under such circumstances, should we report it to the yamen and fix it ourselves? "
Another hunter raised the question. He knew that the situation would change.
If that was the case, it would not be good to continue using the original hut.
"When we reach the Li Family Zhuangzi, we will arrange for people to go over and take a look. Before the hut is built, no one else is allowed to raise any ideas."
Li Yi nodded in agreement. No problem. You know your own hut best.
I will not restrict you. I am only responsible for providing things and logistics. Why should I insist on other aspects?
I am not some self-righteous official. When those officials are not willing to change, they will think that they have been slapped in the face and will not admit their mistakes.
"Li Dongzhu, I heard that many hunters in the imperial government are skilled in using tools and medicine to treat external injuries.
We don't know how to do it now. Can you give us some training? External injuries are often fatal.
Especially in the mountains, people will start to have a fever and talk nonsense. Pus and blood will not stop flowing out of the wounds. "
Another hunter made a request. He did not know how to use alcohol, suture needles, or gauze.
He heard from others that the hunters in the imperial government were very skilled. They seemed to have specially learned it.
Li Yi nodded again. "After the meeting tomorrow, the nurses in the Li Family Zhuangzi will explain it to everyone.
It is actually not difficult. There are pigs and rabbits for you to practice. If you are really injured, uh …
That … there is no anesthetic. Everyone, bear with the pain!
Actually, at that time, you will not feel pain for a short period of time. You will be in a state of excitement.
In order to survive, you have a lot of potential. You can bear with it. "
As Li Yi spoke, he recalled some of his situations. He was in danger. Someone's arm was stuck and injured. He could not take it out and could only watch as it bled.
Ruthless people did not care about the pain at that moment. They used a small knife to cut off their injured arm from the wound. They even broke the bone and broke the arm in order to survive.
When their arm was cut, they went to the hospital and said that it was too painful and they needed anesthetic.
What about when they encountered a disaster? Without anyone to rely on, they did not say anything about anesthetic and endured it.
The hunters did not know what Li Yi was thinking. When they heard Li Yi say that there would be special training, they smiled again.
This was medicine. If they learned well, not only would they be able to treat their own wounds, they would also be able to help other villagers who were injured.
In the past, they knew how to set bones.
It was just that they did not know how to suture external injuries. They could only bandage them. If they were not treated well, they would swell and bleed. Then, they would not be able to survive and die.
"There is one more thing. If you find herbs along the way, you need to pick them and send them to the yamen. The Li Family Zhuangzi will take them.
For this, we will teach you more about how to identify herbs. There are pictures and you know a little about it, but it is not enough.
It is dangerous for others to go deep into the mountains to pick herbs. You are just doing it conveniently. "
Li Yi said another thing to let the hunters familiarize themselves with large amounts of herbs.
