"Brother Cheng's idea is good, those bandits in Qinglong Village are a disaster after all." Mo Li nodded and said.

Guan Feng said: "But our current strength is still very weak, and there are at least five or six hundred people in Qinglong Village, so we have to think of a comprehensive strategy." ”

"Well, we have to figure out the terrain of Qinglong Village. However, we also have our advantages, as long as Lei Luo develops a new weapon, we are guaranteed to be able to level the Qinglong Village in one fell swoop! Mo Li said confidently.

Since then, Moli has been training soldiers in the valley every day, and has selected fifty soldiers who have a certain foundation in the use of flintlock pistols to conduct shooting training and organize foreign gun teams.

Lei Luo rarely comes out except for studying firearms in the cave, and occasionally comes out to train soldiers with Mo Li and others, and his training methods are roughly the same as Mo Li, and he also has a lot of appreciation and admiration for Mo Li.

Liang Peijun, Lin Guo, Yuan Chengzhi, He Zhendong and others, as well as seven or eight young people, came to listen to Mo Li's foreign language on time every morning, and Mo Li also taught it with all his heart, hoping to train a few more translators.

In addition, Moli organized soldiers to quickly reclaim dozens of acres of mountainous land and plant potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, it can barely catch up with the season, anyway, these are relatively cheap and long grains, not as squeamish as wheat and rice.

Mo Li came to the field and worked in the field with the soldiers, he came from the countryside, although he didn't like to work very much, but he also knew a little bit, not to mention that these crops were all new varieties, and only he knew how to grow them here.

But his actions made the soldiers very emotional, they couldn't imagine that the deputy commander would also work in the fields with them, how close to the people such a leader is! It's hard to find lanterns, Master Mo is too down-to-earth! In addition to being moved, the soldiers worked very hard, and in just a few days, they planted nearly 300 acres of miscellaneous grains.

During this period, Moli also used newly concocted earth-made fertilizers, and sure enough, the crops grew very quickly, and after only half a month's effort, they were already green.

In the past ten days, in addition to teaching English and training soldiers, Mo Li also ran to Lei Luo's research room from time to time to provide them with theoretical knowledge.

On this day, Mo Li was teaching Liang Peijun and others to learn English in the Juyi Hall, and suddenly, Guan Feng rushed in excitedly and said loudly: "My lord, it's done!" It's done! ”

Mo Li rolled his eyes and said, "Guan Feng, did you take medicine today?" ”

Guan Feng was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord, what are you talking about?" I'm fine and I'm not sick, what kind of medicine do I take! ”

"Aren't you sick? So what are you yelling about? What became of it? Mo Li asked angrily.

"Oh! I forgot to mention it! Guan Feng smiled embarrassedly: "My lord, you asked the foreigner to develop something!" ”

"Really?!" Mo Li jumped up excitedly, "Let's go!" Check it out! ”

In the research room, I saw Lei Luo walking out with a musket about two meters long, the barrel of the musket was not much different from ordinary arquebuses, the difference was only that there was a round object the size of a bucket at the tail, and there was a wooden handle in front of the bolt.

As soon as Lei Luo saw Mo Li, he smiled happily: "Mo, your flamethrower has been built!" ”

Moli Daxi: "Really? Come and see me. As he spoke, he took the odd-shaped musket from Lei Luo's hand and looked at it carefully. Lei Luo danced on the side and explained to him the structure and operation principle of this musket.

In his previous life, Mo Li had read the detailed information, structure, and use of flamethrowers on the Internet, and after comparing them, he found that the flamethrowers made by Lei Luo were still slightly bulky in size, and basically met the requirements, so he said: "Let's go, try the power of this thing!" ”

Everyone walked to the martial arts training ground, Lei Luo came to demonstrate it first, only to see him holding a musket, opening the insurance, and pulling the mechanism on a straw man fifteen meters away, only to hear a sneering sound, and then clicked, a long flame suddenly appeared at the mouth of the barrel, and everyone only felt that a dazzling flame flew by, and instantly jumped onto the straw man, and ignited the straw man with a breath, and it burned brightly.

"Good!" Mo Li first applauded loudly and applauded vigorously. Everyone also applauded, they Guan Feng and some other old subordinates had seen the power of the Fire Tyrannosaurus when they were in Jinzhou, so they didn't feel too shocked, but Du Geng, Cheng Qingzhu and others had never seen it, and they were all stunned by this kind of musket.

"Relo, good job! Brother Du, I will give Mr. Lei Luo five thousand taels of silver, this is what he deserves! In addition, the other craftsmen were also rewarded with 1,000 taels each! Mo Li said loudly.

"This ......" Du Geng hesitated a little, and said in a low voice: "Lord Mo, is this a bit much?" And we'll have a lot of expenses in the future! ”

Mo Li shook his head and said, "Brother Du, this is actually not much, if it weren't for the nervousness at hand, I would like to increase it tenfold!" It's a pity that I can't do it now, so I have to make up for it later. ”

"Ten times!" Everyone couldn't help but smack their tongues.

"That's right! Did you know? Science and technology is the primary productive force, in fact, the scientific and technological personnel who develop new technologies are the ones who should be most valued! Why do so many of our people go without food? In addition to the greedy exploitation of the government, it is because our technology is still very backward! Why lag behind? It's because our scientific and technological personnel are not valued!

Therefore, starting from us, we must change this situation, so we must reward the scientific and technological personnel who have made major breakthroughs, so that they will devote themselves to the development and improvement of new technologies and new products with higher enthusiasm, so that everyone can eat and live a good life in the future. Mo Li said very seriously.

"Master Mo said it well! Scholars die for their confidants, and Lord Mo can attach so much importance to these craftsmen who are engaged in science and technology, and I think they will not work hard! Otherwise, how can you be worthy of Lord Mo's trust and support? Cheng Qingzhu said loudly.

After Lei Luo learned that Mo Li had awarded him five thousand taels of silver, he was so shocked that his mouth was bigger than his head, five thousand taels, which is not less! He excitedly shook Mo Li's hand on the spot, and said in the very non-standard Chinese he had just learned: "Master Mo, thank you!" Thank you! I will definitely work hard, repay and repay your concern, trust ......" He was so excited that he was incoherent.

Mo Li smiled and said, "Mr. Lei Luo, I should thank you!" Alright, I'm going to ask you to hurry up and help me make more weapons! ”

Back in the Juyi Hall, Mo Li said, "Brother Cheng, how is the situation in Qinglong Village?" ”

"My lord, I have already checked, the terrain of Qinglong Village is no less dangerous than that of Heiyun Village, and it is impossible to open it if you are a husband, and there is a cliff behind it, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack!" Cheng Qingzhu said embarrassedly.

"That's ......"
