Five bows, a hundred arrows, twenty straight knives, and thirty spears added up to only a few dozen pieces, and the seven of them quickly received them.

From today on, the ruling power of 1,600 households and 8,000 people in Mani Township will belong to Li Luo.

This was the first turning point after Li Luo came to the Yuan Dynasty. From then on, he is no longer a field slave in the eyes of the family, he is... Official! The official who is in charge of the civil affairs and military affairs of a township!

His life and death, honor and disgrace, is no longer something that can be easily decided by a family.

"Congratulations to Lord Duzhai!" Du Lie laughed, and the others also smiled and congratulated.

Next, Li Luo bought two ox carts in the city to transport goods, which cost eighty yuan; Twenty stone of grain, forty pounds; 100 pounds of salt, nine pounds; Pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks are two hundred catties, fifteen pounds; Pepper, ginger garlic, oil vinegar and other seasonings 30 catties, three through; fine clothes, shoes and socks, thirty strokes; pots and pans, etc., two through; Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, three through.

A total of 180 yuan was spent on this purchase. Coupled with the forty guan that Li Luo purchased before, plus the three hundred guan that he sent to Zheng Lu, the total expenditure was five hundred and twenty guan!

It wasn't until about three o'clock in the afternoon that Li Luo gave the order to set off. What the two ox carts couldn't pull, everyone could only carry it away.

When I returned to Mobeizhai, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Fortunately, at this time, almost all the villagers rested peacefully, and did not cause a sensation among onlookers.

Du Lie and others helped transport the grain and other materials to the main house of the Li family, and the two cows were tied to the yard, and then they said goodbye and left. When the five of them left, Li Luo generously sent each of them a bucket of grain, three catties of meat, and one catty of salt, which was considered a hardship fee.

Li Luo and Dulie Utu agreed that a group of Jurchen young men would be summoned to recruit the villagers within three days, but the military salary would be kept secret first.

After doing so many things in the past day, Li Luo and Cui Xiuning are very tired. But both of them were very happy.

Cui Xiuning looked at the main house full of food and materials for a long time, and then went out to touch the two cows tied in the yard, and then returned to the wing room to roast the fire.

"There is grain, fields and cattle, and now it is down-to-earth." Li Luo smiled, "Just one daughter-in-law." ”

Cui Xiuning's big eyes were full of smiles, "Then why don't you hurry up and find a Goryeo wife tomorrow." ”

"There is a fairy-like lady of the Li family sitting in front of me, why bother to seek the near and far in Bendu Village?"

"Fugitive, you're skinned, you're looking for a beating, right?"

"Now the whole village knows that you are my Li Luo's wife, and others don't know that we are a fake couple. Even if I want to marry a Korean woman, I have to divorce you first. ”

"Then write a letter of resignation! No, why are you withdrawing me? I should have divorced you.... It's not right either... I'll go, what kind of world is this! ”

"Okay police, even if it's a fake couple, I'm reluctant to divorce you, okay."

"Bah, you're wool! Don't forget that you're the fugitive I'm going to capture. Also, don't think I can only eat dry rice, the name of that island, don't you really think I don't know? ”

What the? Li Luo suddenly showed a look of surprise, "Do you really know?" Great, that's a lot of munitions! ”

Cui Xiuning was a little proud, "That small island is Dachen Island." Of course, you certainly haven't heard of it. However, Ben had drawn a map of the islands, and could have found them directly. ”

Li Luo complimented: "Policeman, you are so powerful, if you don't make a move, you will be a big deal." ”

This is not Li Luo's exaggeration of Cui Xiuning's role. The military map is very vague, there are hundreds of small islands in that sea area, how to find them? If you look for it hard, you may find it in the end, but it will take at least two or three months, and it is inevitable that it will be discovered by the Yuan Dynasty sailors.

The risk of this exposure is too great to be worth it. However, knowing that there were enough military supplies to arm thousands of people, he couldn't get his hands on them, and he was really unwilling.

But now that Cui Xiuning actually knows the name and location of the island, it is very different. Get two big ships, lead a few hundred people to drive over directly, go to the island to carry and load the ship, and at most two or three days can evacuate that sea area, the possibility of being discovered by the Yuan Dynasty sailors is very small, and it is completely worth the risk.

Li Luo couldn't wait to hug Cui Xiuning and kiss him, it was a material worth nearly 100,000 yuan! Not to mention that Meng Yuan has extremely strict control over ordnance, and the civilian arms trade is banned, so it is difficult for you to buy it even if you have money.

However, Li Luo quickly thought of a question.

"Policeman, you didn't just think of it today, you already thought about it the day you got the quartermaster map, right? Why did you tell me today? ”

"Simple. The fugitives have always been bold, too restless, and ambitious to dream of hegemony. I'm afraid that you will rebel when you get military supplies, isn't that looking for death? Even if you are armed with a few thousand men, how can you be an opponent of the Mongols? ”

"I'll go, you'll be stupid for me? Thousands of people rebelled against Kublai Khan? Isn't it pleasant that I took these materials to fight Japan, and to use the materials that Japan supported the Southern Song Dynasty to fight Japan? Isn't it pleasant to use Japanese blood to dye your top red? ”

"Happy, I hate Japanese too. But although the Japanese are very bad, they have always been unambiguous when they start a war. You landed in Japan with the Yuan army, and the result may not be that you were promoted to an official after meritorious service, but that you were slaughtered by Little Japan. ”

"I don't believe it! As long as the Yuan army avoids the hurricanes in history and successfully lands, I don't believe those warriors can hold back the Mongols. It would be a historical pity not to let Japan also taste the power of the Mongols. ”

"Hehe, why did you change the history of the Yuan army encountering typhoons? It's less than two years away from the second expedition of the Yuan army, right? In less than two years, you can be promoted to the sixth or seventh rank official, which is already very powerful. Do you think that those generals who are the commander of the army of the first and second grades will listen to the advice of a petty officer of the sixth and seventh grades and change the date of the expedition and the strategic plan? ”

"Okay policeman, you're right. But why are you willing to tell me now? ”

"It's very simple, I just want you to know the value of this girl, I won't eat your idle meal."

Li Luo: "......."

"Nothing to say, right? Let's change the subject. When was the mansion built? Is it before or after the Chinese New Year? ”

"The construction will start before the Chinese New Year, otherwise where will our township be trained? Where is bone china burned? There must always be a large closed courtyard to do big things behind closed doors. ”

"Well, I thought so too. Is it possible to live on a budget of 1,000 yuan? ”

"I've thought about it, the main expenses of building a mansion are two, one is the labor cost, and the other is the building material cost. In these days, bricks and tiles are not worth much, and labor is not worth much. Not to mention the building materials, the horizontal and vertical can not be saved. But artificial...."

"You want to recruit Xiang Yong now and use Xiang Yong to build a house, right?"

"The police are smart, that's what I intended. Xiang Yong is my subordinate, of course you have to listen to me. As long as they are well fed, they will not object to contributing, and they will thank me if they are not paid. ”

"Then this labor cost will be almost half saved, good idea, the idea of the black-hearted foreman. However, I agree with the idea of fugitives. ”

Of course you would agree, how can a woman be willing to pay more? I have calculated that building a house with Xiangyong will save at least four or five hundred wages. ”

"So, five hundred yuan can build a house?"

"Five hundred at most."

"How long will it take?"

"About two months."

"Two months is a lot of delays. I think so, we should build the core area in the center first, repair our dwellings and kilns, and then build other areas and walls. In this way, we will not delay moving in as soon as possible, and secondly, you can also fire bone china as soon as possible. ”

"The police are right! Let's plan like this, our money won't last long, and I want to fire bone china as soon as possible. ”

"You will burn the bone china, and I will raise the pearls."

"Raising pearls is not the main thing, your main thing is to train the queue of Xiang Yong, and you will be the queue instructor and internal affairs officer of Xiang Yong."

"Cohort training is really important. But what about the training instructors of cold weapons? ”

"Dulie and Utu are both over forty years old, and they definitely don't want to be townspeople. I'm going to hire two of them as guest instructors to train in sword and gun shooting. ”

"The full number of Xiangyong cannot exceed three hundred. How are you going to build your team? ”

"Policeman, I want to hear your opinion on this, after all, you have formal military training."

"I think if we can make a full number, we will have a team of 50 people, with a captain and vice captain, and a team flag bearer. In addition to holding the flag, the flag bearer also pickets the military discipline in the team and supervises the captain and deputy captain. ”

"I didn't expect the flag bearer. You continue. ”

"The unit is divided into six detachments, four teams in the east, west, south and north, and two directly subordinate teams of the left guard and the right guard. Above the six teams, a command post was set up in the capital village, and the captain and deputy captains participated in the military meeting. In addition to your capital village, there must be at least one logistics chief, one military discipline chief, and one teaching chief. There is no need to set up staff officers, training, intelligence, medical services, and property for the time being. ”

"And what about under the detachment? Squad leader or what? ”

"I think the head is better, and the squad leader is not suitable for this era."

"Okay, police flower, you can design the things in the system. Tomorrow, I will convene a meeting of 11 village leaders and first handle the recruitment of village warriors. ”

The two discussed until midnight, and then drew up various plans for the next step. This is the benefit of compiling and training Xiangyong, you can play to your heart's content and draw at will. If it were a regular officer or army, there would never be room for maneuver.
