"You also use this method to imitate a batch of the 38 big covers in your private collection?"

The old driver said stupidly:

"The metal material is empty! What do you want labor and management to build?"

The old driver's words really shocked Liu Shibai speechless.

The three-month reorganization of the army and the upgrading of weapons and ammunition have almost exhausted the various mineral materials accumulated by the Takeda family for generations.

The newly occupied Noda Castle is actually a showcase, and there is essentially nothing but a strong city wall......

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and this really can't complain about the old driver!

"Report ......"

At this time, a report from a personal guard came from outside the small courtyard.

"Lord!"

Qin Liu walked quickly to the door of the small courtyard, whispered a few words to the guard, and walked back and shouted.

"It's not dawn in the morning, what's the matter?"

Liu Eighteen was in a bad mood and a little impatient.

"Ashigaru guarding the castle has sent a message, and the guards have come to ask for instructions!"

Qin Liu responded with a fist.

"Oh, what's the news?"

Liu 18 asked.

"Mori Katsunaga, the general who went out to fight in the five cities yesterday, sent a team of cavalry to escort back a batch of supplies, an astonishing number of ......"

Qin Liu whispered in Liu Eighteen's ear.

"What?"

Liu Shiba's surprise startled the people around him, and they all looked over.

Qin Liu looked left and right and explained directly:

"After sending troops to the five cities, although they found that there was no one, Mao Li Katsunaga and the generals of the leading soldiers, after careful inspection, still found a clue.

Fleeing far away to the deserted city, it can be seen that the evacuation was in a hurry, and after careful searching, a large amount of materials were found within the five cities.

These materials included various types of metal casts, gunpowder lead bullets, and gold coins hidden in various mansions, and many were also found.

Even, in Gaoyuan City, a huge underground granary was found, which is currently enough for the expeditionary army to be used as military rations. ”

When Liu Shibai heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said:

"Sure enough, when you come to sleep, you will send pillows!

"It was all all kinds of metal materials and minerals, cloth, some of the grain, and the gold coins that were found, and seventy percent of all the money was sent according to the agreement. ”

Qin Liu pondered it and replied cautiously.

Liu Shibai waved his hand, turned his head and smiled at the stunned old driver:

"Old driver, now, you have nothing to say, are yours, including all the gold coins. ”

The old driver pouted, his face was full of uncomfortable touches, and muttered:

"What do you want gold coins for?"

Liu Eighteen smiled, but his complexion suddenly changed, and he said with a cruel smile:

"Give all the rewards to those auxiliaries in the city, let them work overtime for me, hurry up to make weapons, and build 38 big covers!"

The old driver nodded and said helplessly:

"I'll try!"

…………………………

The surprise came so suddenly, but it didn't end there!

The old driver was full of complaints and indignant to accept the batch of materials and money that suddenly came.

Liu 18 said to Li Ergou and his wife, Qin Liu, Yanagi Zongwang, Takasaka Masanobu, and Mrs. Huan:

"I called everyone here just for this matter, the surrounding daimyo forces have appeared weapons beyond our judgment, and there should be time to deal with them now!"

Li Ergou said blankly:

"Shall I wait?"

Liu Shibai looked at Li Ergou and sneered:

"Old driver, I believe there is still a little stock, such as the more advanced 38 big cover, which can supply at least one of the five legions.

Ergou and Aunt Cuihua, as well as Solanta, you work harder, in addition to assisting the old driver to urge the auxiliary soldiers to work overtime and catch up-

It is also necessary to carry out intensive military training for these seven or eight thousand auxiliary soldiers, and at least teach them to be proficient in loading, aiming, and shooting!"

Speaking of this, Liu Shiba's eyes narrowed and his face was hideous, and he added:

"As for the rest time of the auxiliaries, six hours is too much, so it was reduced to three hours for me.

This matter was handed over to Masanobu Takasaka to convey to the auxiliaries. ”

Yagyu Zongwang and Takasaka Masanobu glanced at each other, and replied helplessly:

"Lord, isn't three hours too ......?"

Liu Eighteen waved his hand and said strongly:

"After intense exertion, people will quickly fall into deep sleep after being tired.

In this state, in fact, half an hour is enough to recover physical and mental strength, and three hours is already a lot more!"

"Nani?"

Masanobu Takasaka really feels that his brain is a little insufficient, and three hours is too much?

My lord, I want it to be reduced to half an hour? Is that still the bottom line for people to survive?

Seeing Takasaka Masanobu's look like a pig, Liu Eighteen looked at Qin Liu helplessly and asked:

"How many gold coins are there?"

Qin Liu said in a low voice:

"There's only one car of Sands!"

Liu Eighteen's eyes bulged, and he bared his teeth and said:

"I asked the amount, the amount, the amount, and you tell me how much is in a car?"

Qin Liu looked at Liu Eighteen strangely, and said speechlessly:

"Two horse-drawn carts, the axle is sunk into it very deep, a foot ......"

Liu Shibai was stunned, because he really hadn't touched a cart of golden sands, how much was it, and he asked what he was asking for, what did you tell me about two horses?

Seeing this, Takasaka Masanobu was busy relieving Qin Liu, and interjected:

"My lord, if a cart of golden sand is drawn by two horses, it will cost about 50,000 gold. ”

"Fifty thousand catties?

Liu Shibai touched his chin, as if he was a little unconvinced.

"Hey!"

Mrs. Huan, who had not yet left, sighed and explained helplessly:

"This 50,000 taels of gold refers to 50,000 taels of gold, which is equivalent to about 1,000 kilograms when converted to the measurement you are familiar with.

And one tael of gold is equal to five taels of silver, or fifty pieces of Beijing money, and it is also equal to thirteen pieces of Yongle money in the Ming Dynasty!"

Liu 18 understood now, and calculated:

"According to this calculation, five thousand gold is two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, and two and a half million copper coins.

There's even Yongle money, which can be used here with Ming Dynasty banknotes?"

Mrs. Huan replied:

"It can definitely be used, and it retains its value more than Kyoto's big money. ”

It's simple, 2.5 million copper coins......

Then, Liu 18 looked at Takasaka Masanobu and asked:

"When the peasants and soldiers are working at home, in a month or a year, how much can they save in addition to paying the lord's taxes?"

Takasaka Masanobu shook his head stupidly and said:

"My lord, forgive your obtuseness?"

"Nani, you're watching!"

Liu 18 stretched out two fingers and rubbed them, rubbed them again, and said angrily:

"Got it now?"

Takasaka Masanobu hesitated for a moment and wondered:

"The lord asked, how much money do ordinary people earn in a year?"

"Shuffle, I really understand, say! How much?"

Liu 18 turned his anger into a smile and patted Takasaka Masanobu on the shoulder blade.

Takasaka Masanobu grinned, and after hesitating, he bowed his head and replied:

"Not much!"

Then, Takasaka added:

"My lord, the minister first talked about the difference between ordinary peasants and samurai, or standing ashigaru banners, is it feasible?"

"Hurry up, you're dead. ”

Liu Shibai waved his hand and said helplessly.

Takasaka Masanobu served as a whole and said respectfully:

"My lord! Generally, the standard of food for peasants or auxiliary soldiers is a bowl of small rice and two pieces of boiled radish...... Finished. ”

When Liu Shibai heard this, he was stupid......

Finished?
