It has been 10 days in a flash, and the personal soldiers of the three small banners brought back by Li Zicheng from Ganzhou have preliminarily completed the drill training, and under the leadership of Ren Erxi, they came to the rear office and became Li Zicheng's official personal soldiers.

Ren Erxi and He Xiaomi gave these pro-soldiers in turn, and they will be with the original two small banners of the pro-soldiers, guarding Li Zicheng's surroundings, if Li Zicheng is out, they will accompany them, and they will be stationed in the official office on weekdays, guarding the official office and Xining Girls' School.

Li Zicheng originally planned to let all his soldiers train in rifle skills, but the number of rifles was too tight, so the Song Ministry of Culture and Culture only equipped three hundred soldiers with soldiers, and now the five hundred households under his command take turns to conduct drills.

But his own soldiers, how can they be regarded as the elite of the Xining army, the trend of the times, he still got 22 rifles from the craftsman's workshop, let the original two small flag soldiers start to train rifles, for a month, initially complete the shooting training, the soldiers will not participate in large-scale battles, the number of battles will not be too much, no need to learn three-stage shooting.

By the end of May, the craftsman's workshop had built two rifles of 100 households, all of which were distributed to the Song Ministry of Culture, and the original soldiers of the 700 households had already had one rifle per person, all equipped with rifles, and they were trained outside the city on weekdays, while the newly expanded 500 households could only carry out basic training in the city.

The Song Ministry of Culture is another hundred households equipped with more than 500 rifles after Ma Youshui and Zhou Bin, and like Ma Youshui and Zhou Bin, the Song Ministry of Culture also has 500 auxiliary troops, and now it is a complete unit of the Xining Army, and as long as the training is over, it will become one of the main forces of the Xining Army.

But the craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop told Li Zicheng that the rifle bullets were almost gone, and there was no red copper to make them.

Li Zicheng suddenly had a big head.

Originally, the most lacking thing in the Xining army was pig iron, but when he went north to Ganzhou, he brought back nearly 200 steel carts, and the craftsman workshop worked overtime to produce more than 1,000 rifles with these pig iron, but the number of rifles increased, and the demand for bullets increased.

If you train in Xining, most of the copper warheads can still be found, recycled to the craftsman's workshop, and recast, if you go to the battlefield, it is difficult to find the bullets again, and the consumption of red copper will be very large.

The key now is that there are almost no bullets, and there is no red copper to make warheads, Xining is a border land, and the disadvantage of unbalanced resources is completely displayed in front of Li Zicheng, however, he is not discouraged, but it stimulates his pace of expansion even more, and the big living person can still suffocate urine? If you can't expand your territory and find enough minerals, you will always be at the mercy of others.

If there is no bullet, the rifle is on the battlefield, it is better to burn the stick to make it easy, in order to save materials, the current Xining rifle, there is no folding knife in front, and there is no battlefield hand-to-hand combat function.

If there are not enough bullets, not only will the plan of entering Longyou be ruined, but the daily training of the soldiers and the garrison of the existing land will also have many problems, not only the soldiers, but also Li Zicheng himself, is also heavily dependent on rifles, and many plans of the Xining army are based on the use of rifles.

Once the rifle was scrapped, the Xining army ...... Li Zicheng didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He used the strength of two hundred households to annihilate the main cavalry of the Maili cadres, and set up a city in the area of Kadang Mountain to garrison it, just for the local copper mine, but for so long, the red copper has not yet been mass-produced, and I don't know when it will be.

Although Li Zicheng had something in his heart, he still endured it and went to the school, taught the students a half-day course, and when he returned home, the food was tasteless, and he barely ate a few bites, and then put down the bowls.

Gao Guiying knew that Li Zicheng had something on her mind, and she had the heart to accompany Li Zicheng to talk well, but she had no choice but to ...... It may be a reaction to the first pregnancy, now it is drowsy all day, and it is the weather of early summer, every afternoon, the thunder does not move, and it is to sleep for an hour, otherwise it is yawning and not refreshing.

She had the intention to let Sun Mengjie or Chen Qiudie accompany Li Zicheng to relieve her boredom, but she thought that Li Zicheng probably spent the night on their bellies last night, and it would not have any good effect if she was accompanied by them.

Gao Guiying thought for a moment, and suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, already thinking in her heart.

She first gave Mu Sirong a look, and saw that Mu Sirong was just looking forward to a pair of watery eyes, so she frowned unconsciously, and said, "Yulian, Xiaomei, Xiaolan, you go and clean up the dishes, and when you're done, give some water to the vegetable patch in the backyard." ”

"Huh?" Song Yulian opened her mouth and said half-loudly: "Madam, watering the vegetable field, it must be cool early, or at dusk, in case the vegetables are washed down, the rain and dew can still get up by themselves overnight, and it is noon......"

"What did you say?" Gao Guiying snorted, "I passed by the vegetable field just now, and I saw that the floating soil was white, it was too dry, you must be lazy!" ”

"Yes, yes, eldest lady," Song Yulian hurriedly lowered her head, sincerely afraid, "Son, go and water the garden!" ”

Li Zicheng said in his heart: Although Gui Ying was born as a wild girl in the mountains, after coming to Xining, she has always been mild-mannered. Raising her eyes, Gao Guiying had already turned from awe-inspiring to smiling, glanced at herself, but said: "Jie'er, Die'er, my body, I've been a little weak recently, Xiaomei and they want to water the garden, you can walk with me, I'm so sleepy when I'm tired." ”

"Yes, yes." Sun Mengjie and Chen Qiudie also felt that Gao Guiying was a little special today, but since the eldest lady said it, how could they refuse, so they got up busily, holding Gao Guiying's arms on the left and right, and supporting her.

When Gao Guiying was about to go out, she gestured to Mu Sirong again, stretched her fingers under her armpits, and pointed at Li Zicheng with her back to her.

Out of the gate, the three of them walked in the direction of the central government for a while, and Sun Mengjie asked, "Sister Ying, but let Rong'er accompany Mr. alone?" ”

"Huh?" Chen Qiudie came to her senses at this time, this eldest lady, what's wrong today?

"Do you see that? Zicheng has something on his mind, and he didn't even eat a few bites," Gao Guiying sighed slightly, and said: "Zicheng must be thinking about the Xining Army in his heart, we are women, it is difficult to help, and I can only ...... It can only make him feel better......"

"Sister Ying......" Sun Mengjie seemed to understand Gao Guiying's thoughts, she had already found out that Li Zicheng was in a bad mood, but she also knew that she couldn't help, she was just a student in the school of her husband, and she didn't seem to know anything except to complete the homework assigned by her husband on time.

Gao Guiying smiled lightly, showing the unique grace of a wife on her face, "At my uncle's place, I was originally an errand for food, but now my body is ......" slowly wiped a handful on his lower abdomen, shook his head slightly, and the smile on his face did not decrease, "Now I can only rely on myself." ”

Chen Qiudie seemed to have just woken up from her dream, compared with the eldest lady and the second lady, she was really sluggish, she heard that something was wrong with the adult, although she didn't know what was going on, but she was very nervous in her heart, "Sister Ying, or Sister Jie'er and I...... Go and help the adults...... It's just that we don't know what to do......"

"Forget it, let him solve these official matters by himself, as long as we don't drag him back," Gao Guiying kept at her feet, and was about to come to her bedroom, "With such a big move in Xining, I believe he will be able to solve the problem." ”

Sun Mengjie knew that Gao Guiying meant something else, so she nodded hurriedly and said yes, but Chen Qiudie, who had no heart and lungs, laughed, "Sister Ying left Miss Mu behind...... Is it to make the adults happy, should we help? Maybe we can help ......."

"Do you think men are like you, thinking about the bed all day long?" Gao Guiying glared at Chen Qiudie, and said lightly: "Don't be smart, the more you help, the man not only thinks about those things in bed, what he values more is how to coax women to his bed step by step......" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Qiudie stuck out her tongue in fright at first, but when she saw Gao Guiying smiling, she knew that she was deliberately keeping a straight face, so she smiled and said, "Sister Ying, Sister Jie'er, do you say, will adults ...... Miss Mu?"

Gao Guiying couldn't help laughing, looking at Chen Qiudie's stealthy eyebrows and sneaky appearance, and said angrily: "Do you want to go and see?" ”

"I'd better go back to sleep, lest the adults think I'm an eyesore......" Chen Qiudie grimaced at Sun Mengjie and hurried away.

In the main hall of the Li family, only Li Zicheng and Mu Sirong were left sitting opposite each other, Mu Sirong got Gao Guiying's repeated hints, how could she not understand in her heart?

He secretly complained in his heart about his father, living in the school well, with his sisters, why did he live in an adult's house, and eat with the adults' wives and concubines every day, not to mention, now when she encounters this kind of thing, what should she do?

Although I know that sooner or later I will be an adult, but after all, I haven't passed the door, a girl's house, do you want her to take the initiative to seduce adults?

Even if she wants to seduce, she won't, and she doesn't talk about the kind of woman in the hall, how can she know how to please adults?

When I am with adults on weekdays, there are a large number of people, especially Chen Qiudie's small mouth is non-stop, and Sun Mengjie occasionally adds icing on the cake, but where did they all run today?

Mu Sirong was at a loss, feeling that the two hands were completely redundant, and she didn't know where to put them, so she searched and searched, and finally found the corner of her clothes, she wrapped the bottom corner around her fingers, rolled it all the way, and found that it was wrong, let it go round and round, and then stirred it up......

Li Ziyuan was a little upset, and he didn't even notice Gao Guiying's deliberate arrangement, and when he saw Mu Sirong's appearance at this moment, he only felt that there was a junior high school girl sitting opposite him who was dating for the first time, so he smiled lightly: "Rong'er was born in a wealthy businessman's family, and even the texture of the clothes on her body is good, no need to compare, I have already seen it, it seems to be Su embroidery, right?" ”

Mu Sirong subconsciously looked down, and was suddenly startled, it turned out that she stirred her clothes on her fingers, kept going up, and had already revealed the red and bright belt on her skirt.

Originally, it was not tight, but if the hem of the blouse was tucked into the skirt belt, the skirt belt around the waist would have been exposed, and if it was floating in the wind, it would be the same scenery.

However, Mu Sirong's belt is hidden in the inside of the blouse, so that if the blouse is lifted until the belt is exposed, there is a suspicion of stripping and dedicating.
