A few days later, Liu Peizheng was leading a team on the playground to teach the musketeers the art of stabbing guns. The lads sat neatly on the floor, watching the head of the house who paid them the silver and a firecracker pacting. At the same time, everyone is full of admiration for him. After all, he can feed hundreds of people at such a young age, he must be a great character! As for Liu Pei, he is also willing to have more contact with the boys. Although he was able to meet everyone during the payout, it was also good for him to deepen his loyalty.

The hundred firecrackers around Liu Pei were all pikemen and sword and shield hands. This can't be blamed on Qi Qitao and them, they just made a judgment based on the current situation. Because even if Liu Pei is using a flintlock pistol more than two hundred years later, it still can't change their shortcomings. The range is not as good as a real hard bow, and is only roughly equivalent to a normal foot bow. Poor accuracy, inferior to bows and arrows, slow reloading, slower rate of fire. When a flintlock pistol fires one shot, the bow can shoot three arrows! As for the arquebus, it is even slower to use!

Therefore, in their impressions, the pikemen and the sword and shield bearers are the soldiers who can really play, and the musketeers are used to make up the numbers. This idea led them to choose the pikemen and sword and shield men first, and then the rest were thrown over to be the musketeers. Worst of all, they know it not only to them, but also to these lads who act as firecrackers. So everyone's morale is a little low.

But they are not clear about the future of firearms. And Liu Pei just knows! In the not-too-distant future, the Firecracker will be the main bearer of the lethal output. There are many problems with using musketeers alone, but it is not the same if they are equipped with the appropriate guns. So Liu Pei is also enlightening these young men in addition to training. And he also planned to turn all his men into firearms in the future, forming an all-firearms unit.

As soon as Liu Pei finished teaching a few movements, he heard the sound of horses' hooves on the edge of the playground. When I looked up, it was Liu Jiang and Wang Chuanhao, each of whom led two of their subordinates and ran over on horseback. Liu Pei happened to have something to ask them, so he instructed the firecrackers to practice on their own, and he walked over to meet them himself.

When the two saw Liu Pei, they immediately saluted, and Liu Jiang was so excited: "Family master, you're back!" ”

At this time, Liu Jiang is not like what he used to be. Liu Pei's face was much more ruddy than when he first saw it. He also seems to have grown a little taller, and most importantly, his legs are not lame. His hair was neatly tied up, and he was wearing a samurai suit, which made him look like a ranger. Wang Chuanhao is also much more energetic, and he no longer looks like a fallout.

Liu Pei patted Liu Jiang's arm with a smile and said, "It looks good, it seems to have grown tall." Chuan Hao is also very energetic! ”

Both of them grinned, and Liu Jiang said, "Maybe, right?" In the past year, I have eaten well and slept well, can I not grow up! Always be worthy of the food of the head of the house. ”

Liu Pei laughed and said, "Come into the room with me, and tell me about this period of time in detail." ”

After entering the barracks and everyone sat down, Liu Jiang began to talk about the results of this time. During this time, Liu Jiang's achievements were enormous. First, he regrouped a group of people. These included his former subordinates and those who later defected to him. He has completely mastered the underground world of Jiaozhou and Jimo. Those who refused to obey were all arrested and reformed through labor.

Through the efforts of these unlucky people, all the large and small stones in Liu Pei's wasteland have been removed and used as materials to build houses for the recruited homeless people. The same was done for the trees that were in the way. Some areas that are not suitable for farming have also been cleared, and grass and fruit trees are ready to be planted next year. A lot of high ground was bulldozed and depressions were filled. The ice in the pond was dragged to the ground, and it melted at the beginning of spring, providing sufficient water for the seedlings. The silt was dug up and sprinkled on the wasteland. The holes left behind are covered with a thick layer of soil to be used as cultivated land. At the beginning of spring this year, Liu Pei's wasteland can be cultivated.

Wang Chuanhao also talked about his situation. Many of the people Liu Pei captured worked in the salt fields. Because of the large number of people, and the salt works are very reasonable. So even though it was winter, there was still a lot of salt harvested. It's just that those coolies will inevitably have to suffer somewhat. But Liu Pei prepared them with sufficient cold equipment, which ensured that they would not be frozen. At the same time, Wang Chuanhao also received a lot of salt goods from various villages at fair prices. A sufficient number of transactions has been accumulated. Wang Chuanhao came this time to ask Liu Pei when he would go to Fengmeng Town for a meeting, so he could send the invitation on time.

Liu Pei thought for a while and said, "It's set in ten days." Ten days is enough time for everyone to arrange their tasks for the meeting. ”

Wang Chuanhao said: "The head of the family, what if someone doesn't give face and doesn't come? ”

Liu Pei smiled slightly and said, "Then he will never be able to get salt again, and don't think about doing the business of private salt anymore!" These people on the playground have been training for a long time. After the first month, I am going to take them out to see the blood, and control all the salt roads in our hands. ”

Wang Chuanhao's face turned red with excitement and said, "That's great! I have already found out who the other smugglers are, and which way they are going. When the time comes, as long as the head of the house decides to do it, I guarantee that none of them will be able to escape. ”

A few people said a few gossips after the formality. Then Liu Jiang said: "Family master, there has been an interesting thing recently. Quite interesting, I'll tell you about it. ”

Liu Pei was very interested when she heard this, so she said, "Oh, what is the interesting thing? Let's hear it. ”

"Someone is beating gongs and drums to give us a plaque for the Bloody Hand Gang!" Liu Jiang laughed and said.

Liu Pei was really surprised! Since ancient times, there have only been people who threw bombs at the gangsters' stations, and I have never heard of sending plaques to the gangsters! Even if a plaque is sent, it will also say provocative words such as "early death and early superbirth". And it won't be sent over with gongs and drums, but will only be thrown at the door in the middle of the night and run. So Liu Pei asked with great interest: "Tell me what happened in detail?" ”

Liu Jiang said with a smile: "Family master, aren't there many people who are being escorted by us to work?" At first, there were many people who cried and rushed to return home, but when they arrived at the construction site, they found that we were not badly treated except for forcing them to work. Finally I told them that when the bastards were almost repaired and would be put back, they would all go back happy. Later, some people behaved well and put it back in advance. The family that sent the plaque was the one who put it back first. That kid's name is Huang Jintang. ”

Liu Pei interjected when he heard this and asked, "By the way, I don't know what is written on the plaque?" ”

Liu Jiang waved his hand and said, "Write in a hurry to be righteous and righteous!" It's still made of the best wood! ”
