"Wan'er, go out and see, is that debt collector gone?" Lu Peng hid behind the curtain of Wan'er's room, and looked out vigilantly.

Wan'er smiled and shook her head: "The fourth brother is still outside the door and hasn't left." ”

Lu Peng wailed.

"If he doesn't leave, will you keep hiding like this?"

Lu Peng spread his hands: "Otherwise, what should I do?" That kid is going to ruin my family. ”

"Third brother, you come out, I know you are in the house, I don't want much this time, just one million dollars, or you can directly give me three thousand pairs of war horse leather armor."

Lu Peng stretched his neck and firmly refuted to the outside: "There is no leather armor, I have a pair of skins on my body, if you want it, you can take it, anyway, I don't want to be cheeky." ”

Now, Lu Peng finally understands how expensive it is to raise a team of cavalry, which is simply a gold-swallowing beast and a bottomless pit of spending money.

And now what about yourself? That's really poor.

He nominally occupies the entire Youzhou, but in fact, what is really in his hands is nothing more than an empty city in Youzhou and a Lu County.

The treasury of Youzhou has been emptied by the black-hearted and greedy Liu Yan, and now the officials at all levels who remain have to feed themselves, so they will have a headache if they take a pen of official money.

There are also displaced people in various places, who also need to come up with their own money and grain to help, although it is a work for relief, but now what can be done can only be some infrastructure, all of which are invested in money but do not produce output. If you want to have an income, you have to wait until autumn, and now it's just spring, so there is still a long time.

And Lu County's salt income is a drop in the bucket in the face of this army's military expansion.

Zhao Yun's cavalry is even more of a gold-swallowing beast, and it is simply not a way to spend money on people's lives.

Originally, when he saw the equipment of the three thousand wolf riders, Lu Peng felt that it was not as advanced as he imagined, although there was a high bridge saddle, but the weapons in the hands of the soldiers were not successful, and now the cavalry of the Han Dynasty was still fighting with long swords and riding spears.

Riding a spear does not say, but the long sword is inferior to the scimitar of the steppe.

The long sword is good for stabbing and this one does play a multi-functional role, and it has one more function than the scimitar of the grassland. But this kind of action is the easiest to hurt the wrist of the soldier, so Lu Peng immediately opened a small golden finger, that is, to create a Xuefeng knife in later generations.

Xuefeng knife, is the later anti-Japanese famous general Peng Xuefeng invented, the blade is slender, the arc is not large, so there is now the scimitar of the method of dragging the knife, in the speed of the war horse, with the least strength to cut the enemy's effect, and the role of the long sword can stab, can be described as incomparably perfect.

As a result, as soon as this snow maple knife came out, it immediately won the obsessive popularity of the three thousand wolf riders. But the result is that although their own iron factory can produce good wrought iron, but if you want this Xuefeng knife to be narrow and smooth, you must also make steel knives, so the cost of each knife has skyrocketed, and a Xuefeng knife is equivalent to twenty or thirty times the price of the big knife cast by himself for the infantry now.

There is another thing, this time he has a whole team of cavalry, so, Lu Peng opened the golden finger again, and directly smashed out the stirrups of later generations, this invention simply made Zhao Yun and his wolf riders crazy, in this way, it is equivalent to freeing the hands of the soldiers, and more able to exert force on the horses, the original nomadic kind of riding skills trained by small training, in front of this stirrup is overshadowed, now, even if it is a Han people, as long as they train on a horse for a month, they can completely fight against an alien warrior without stirrups.

As a result, Zhao Yun asked to equip the freed cavalry brothers with crossbow arrows and shields to carry out long-range strikes and protection.

Crossbow arrows, are you going to equip them if you want to? That's a high-tech weapon, that's a drop of money, or a lot of money.

But since it was his fourth brother who wanted it, he could only grit his teeth and agree, but Wu Tao let it go, ready to pick a son and quit.

Fortunately, the eldest brother and the second brother knew the needs of the fourth brother, and unceremoniously took out a sum of money in Lu Peng's liquor dividend, and the two brothers also sponsored some of them in friendship, which made Zhao Yun satisfied.

With good equipment, Zhao Yun is like beating chicken blood, roaring back and forth with three thousand brothers every day, but the hooves of the war horses are constantly cracking and injured, and a large number of herbs are needed to treat the horses. From then on, Zhao Yun's cavalry could run thousands of miles without hurting the horse's hooves, but this kid went crazy, and ran more happily with the cavalry all day long, although the combat effectiveness has obviously gone up, but eating and drinking have also followed closely, those war horses have huge daily physical consumption, and there must be a good supply of horse material, and then, this food alone is worth the consumption of 10,000 infantry, which almost made Wu Tao sell himself.

Even so, Zhao Yun was still insatiable, no, in order to protect his beloved war horse in the face of foreign horse shooting, he proposed to Lu Peng to equip the war horse with leather armor.

This is a personal life, this time, it is Lu Peng's turn to sell his kidney.

As a result, Lu Peng, who Zhao Yun chases, is a chicken flying and a dog jumping, and he will never stop until he reaches his goal.

"Your cavalry is now equipped like a tank, you say, is it necessary for you to face those Xianbei Wuhuan people who don't even have full saddles, and whose arrows are still dominated by real wolf teeth?" Lu Peng scolded Zhao Yun loudly.

What a tank is, Zhao Yun didn't know, but he still stood outside the house and argued loudly: "I only have 3,000 brothers, and once we fight with Wuhuan or Xianbei, then we will have to face tens of thousands, or even 100,000 enemies, I don't arm my cavalry to the teeth, how can I defeat them, if you are reluctant to make these equipment, then you can form a cavalry of 100,000, no, 10,000 for me." ”

If you are going to sell your kidney for 3,000, and if you pay back 10,000, then you will not sell yourself, but you will sell yourself directly by the door.

Wan'er said understandingly: "Since my uncle wants it, then give it to him." ”

"I don't have any money."

"I still have some dowry, so let's give it to my uncle."

Wan'er's dowry turned out to be very generous, but she understood Lu Peng's difficulties, and kept taking it out to subsidize him, and now she is a jingchai cloth skirt every day, which makes Lu Peng ashamed and self-ashamed, if you don't buy things for your beloved, you just have to let people stick upside down, which is really too unconscionable and faceless.

Hearing his sister-in-law say this, Zhao Yun was speechless, so he walked out in disappointment and was walking to the door, but he bumped into his second brother Su Shuang, who had fluttering sleeves, and Zhao Yun hurriedly gave the second brother a salute.

Su Shuang laughed: "Isn't it just one million dollars, I and your eldest brother gave you one million dollars and two million yuan for this money, and you can spend it vigorously." ”

At that time, Zhao Yun was moved to hold the second brother's hand, which was grateful to Dade, and finally did not forget to despise his third brother very much: "Stingy ghost." ”

"Who is stingy, the eldest brother and the second brother will only give you two million dollars, and I will give you tens of millions of dollars of equipment, you have no conscience." Lu Peng threw out a teacup according to Zhao Yun's back, and he was still angry, so he directly threw out a teapot.

Holding the second brother's hand, Lu Peng complained: "The territory is big, there are not enough people, and there are too many places to spend money, I need someone who can manage money, second brother, you can help me, come to me." ”

Su Shuang nodded sympathetically: "But I'm a person who makes money, and I can't manage money, I think Mi Zhu is proficient in financial management, and he is with us, otherwise we will invite him out of the mountain." ”

Please Mi Zhu out of the mountain and be your own housekeeper, this is definitely the most appropriate person, in this way, there is Wu Tao in government affairs, Mi Zhu in finance, and Xu Jie in advice, if Tian Feng, who has a strategy, is invited by himself again, then his small team will be basically complete.
