Chapter 10 Plan ahead

Zhao Tianyou smiled and said: "Not yet, this fire dragon gun used to be mainly used to defend the city, spray oil under the city first, and when the city is sieged, it can be set on fire everywhere." If our fishing village is really guarded, it is only a deep-water wharf, if pirates come ashore to rob the fishing village, how can we see such a long coast! Wait until our fire dragon can hit dozens of feet away, then we can really protect the fishing village, don't say that the pirates come to rob us, they are afraid of running into us to rob their boats! ”

"Hahaha, Zhao Jiaotou, if you can really squirt out, wouldn't you be about to catch up with the bow and arrow, joke joke!" Patriarch Meng left with a few elders, and what was discussed along the way was money, money, money, and money, so that Patriarch Meng shook his head and sighed all the way.

Zhao Tianyou has been a soldier since he became an adult, and although he graduated from a military academy, his main focus is on the improvement of military skills and tactical literacy. Modern military academy education involves many subjects, such as microelectronics, computers, motorized control, and so on.

The substantial increase in the income of military personnel and the fact that modern military construction has always been taken seriously, and the problem of funding has always been a worry for the leaders. In the past few years of military career, he has learned how to show excellent training results and ask his superiors for equipment training funds, but he has never learned how to make money.

Raising soldiers is originally a matter of spending money, Zhao Tianyou's lack of understanding of the economy has exacerbated the speed of spending money, and when Meng Wenshan was full of confidence and erected the flag, he did not expect that he would not be able to hold on for a month.

What does the smiling face of the Meng patriarch mean, Zhao Tianyou knows that the income of the fishing village wharf is at the disposal of the patriarch and several elders, and it has been accumulated for decades! In less than half a month, thousands of dollars were spent by Zhao Tianyou.

"Shui Rou, in addition to fishing and catching shrimp, what other way is there to get money the fastest? There is too little income in the fishing village, and it can't afford to raise these soldiers at all. Zhao Tianyou threw out the bamboo tube he had been holding in his hand, and watched the bamboo tube fall into the grass in an arc.

Meng Shuirou said with a smile: "This can't be blamed on the patriarch's poor calculation, it's all Tianyou big brother, you are too demanding, to be honest, there were no village soldiers before, but there are also dozens of villagers training in the martial arts arena." Repairing houses and building sites and buying blade equipment, which is enough money for 100 yuan a year, how can you be so generous!

But Brother God, these young people admire you very much, and they all say that you are fair and reasonable, and the boxing skills you teach are easy to learn and understand, which is much easier than the kung fu handed down by the family. How much will it cost you to equip each of them with a single knife with a good edge, and a seven-foot spear made of iron? But these soldiers are very happy, who doesn't like to get a weapon in their hands! ”

"Shouldn't these weapons have been there a long time ago? Since he is raising soldiers, if he doesn't have a good weapon that he can use easily, his combat effectiveness will be seriously reduced, what is the use of raising this soldier? I know that it costs too much, and I didn't expect that fine iron is so expensive, so let's discuss and find more ways to write money. There was no turning back arrow when the bow was opened, the banner of the soldiers was erected, and it fell in less than a month, and the Mengjia fishing village became famous all over the world and became a joke. ”

Zhao Tianyou and the two of them walked around the venue and talked, and the backs of the two people in the sun flickered and shortened, intertwined from time to time, and merged into a piece that was not separated from each other. Looking at the shadow underground, Meng Shuirou's heart fluttered, she had long forgotten what she was talking to him, but she just responded from time to time, and the closer she got, she was about to catch up with the majestic body that exuded a strong masculine atmosphere.

Zhao Tianyou secretly pondered in his heart: "The fastest way to get money is to take it by force, and it is a good idea to fight local tyrants and divide the land." However, this is still the world of the Great Song Dynasty, although the power organs of the government do not clip this small fishing village in their eyes, but if you go out to rob the local tyrants and rich gentry, there will inevitably be conflicts. There are only about 200 soldiers in their hands, and they go into battle before they are trained, so I don't know how much they will lose, and it is not a consequence that they can bear at the moment. ”

Meng Wenshan and several elders are also discussing the issue of money, there are two silver vaults in the ancestral hall, each with 6,000 taels of snowflake silver, which is also the last family in the Meng family's fishing village.

"Second uncle, you also have an idea, this silver vault has been sealed for decades, and it is not a last resort, and we can't open it if it is not the life and death of the fishing village!" Meng Wenshan sat at the bottom, and in the center was a one-eyed white-haired old man.

A red scar on the sunken eye socket, although it has healed, but the bulge is like a huge earthworm coiled on the face, if you look at it for a long time, there is a feeling that the scar is about to come back to life.

"Wenshan, the matter has come to this, why do you want to raise a village soldier at this time, I won't ask you anymore. My Meng family fishing village has been here since my ancestors lived here hundreds of years ago, and I never thought of leaving. Even if all the Meng family sons and daughters are killed in battle, they will fall on this ground.

Although I haven't been out for a long time, I can also know that the imperial court is powerless to resist the Yuan in the north, and the Mongol army will be killed sooner or later. If you prepare early because of this, Wenshan, you did a very good job, it is not in vain that I took a fancy to you back then, and you deserve this patriarch. ”

The one-eyed, white-haired man trembled and touched his shriveled eyes, and then spoke: "The Mongols occupy the country, they also have to eat fish and shrimp, as long as our sea does not dry up, we can still live." And our real feud comes from the sea, and what we need to guard against is those pirates, if we succeed in training, we can kill Sanshan Island before I die...... Ahem......"

Meng Wenshan hurriedly got up, patted the one-eyed old man on the back, and someone else took tea to moisten his throat.

"Second uncle, this overboard guest surnamed Zhao is not a mortal, and the people who teach the soldiers are all good skills, according to me, they should not pass on the secret skills of outsiders, but he has no idea of hiding his selfishness at all.

There is also the second uncle, the gunpowder master who was invited at a high price just now made a fire dragon, which can spew out more than three zhang away, and the thunderbolt is loud and sparkling. It's not that a few of us have never seen the world, if we want to fight pirates, the sea is stormy and rough, what is the use of this fire dragon being afraid of wetness?

But before leaving, Zhao Jiaotou said that in the future, it can spew out ten zhang, which is dozens of zhang away, and it can be similar to an ordinary longbow. We can really hit Sanshan Island, kill all the pirates there, invite the remains of our ancestors back to the Mengjia fishing village, and settle down for decades. ”

The one-eyed old man stiffened his body suddenly, and he seemed to grow half a foot taller on the chair out of thin air, and said loudly: "Dozens of zhang away? Did he really say that? ”
