Chapter 295: Put it on the table

The squires and powerful forces in Shangjun County watched Su Yi's expansion of the army, the money they paid was only enough to repair the city wall, and Su Yi's large-scale expansion of the army was all his own savings, during which Wang Biao privately approached Su Yi again, hoping to buy some weapons and armor.

Since Su Yi took up his post in Shangjun County, the two of them have a tacit understanding to interrupt the previous transaction. But Wangjiazhuang is also recruiting troops everywhere, in order to expand the army, Wang Biao had to open the granary, attracting a large number of displaced people to vote.

Of course, this is not without hidden dangers, after some homeless people entered Wangjiazhuang, they saw piles of grain piled up in the warehouse, their eyes were red all of a sudden, regardless of Wang Biao's subordinates holding sharp swords, rushing upward, the result was naturally a tragic death in Wangjiazhuang, and this incident also made Wang Biao have a heart.

There is food that can absorb a large number of displaced people, but it is difficult to say whether these displaced people are obedient and whether they will cause riots in the village.

With Su Yi's current strength, the little money he made from trading arms with Wang Biao was not in his eyes at all, and he first traded weapons and armor with Wang Biao for the next step of Taohuazhai's development, and later traded with Wang Biao to deliberately improve the strength of Wangjiazhuang and create an uneasy factor for the Wang family in Shangjun County.

It's just that if he still sells weapons and armor to the Wang family as before, it will only make the Wang family dominate among the many forces in Shangjun County, and finally create an uncontrollable situation.

It's just that Wang Biao was the first to show loyalty to Su Yi, and if he refused to sell weapons and armor to him, it would only chill Wang Biao's heart and push Wang Biao to his opposite. The previous forced donation in the county caused many squires and Haoqiang to complain about the government, and at this time, pushing Wang Biao to the opposite side would simply outweigh the losses.

After thinking about it, I saw Wang Biao looking at him with an eager face. Su Yi smiled bitterly: "It's okay to ask for weapons and armor, although bandits in Shangjun County are not as rampant as in the past, there are still many rogues entrenched on official roads and small roads to loot the passing people, and I urgently need to mobilize your army to exterminate those bandits for me." ”

Wang Biao frowned, he just wanted to buy weapons and armor from Su Yi to expand Wangjiazhuang's power, as for letting him take Wangjiazhuang's private army to suppress bandits outside the city, Wang Biao refused in his heart.

Seeing Wang Biao's embarrassed look, Su Yi was secretly happy in his heart, and pretended to be displeased: "Young owner." Any questions? ”

Wang Biao pondered his tone and said: "My lord, although my Wangjiazhuang has expanded a lot of soldiers and horses, most of them are newly returned homeless people, and they can't even use weapons, let alone ask them to go out to suppress bandits and bandits. ”

Su Yi said lightly: "Young Zhuang Master, as far as I know, the strength of your Wang family is much stronger than most of the forces in Shangjun County, and the weapons and armor are far superior to them, even if you have to shirk it." Wouldn't those heroes and squires have more excuses for not wanting to share the pressure for the court? ”

Wang Biao was stunned and was about to speak, but when he saw Su Yi showing a disappointed expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" I promise you. I will definitely lead the children of the Wang family to exterminate those bandits, my Wang family had a caravan attacked not long ago, and I am also preparing to take revenge. ”

Su Yi nodded and said, "It's rare that the young owner has this heart, and I will send the weapons and armor to Wangjiazhuang." It's just that now that you and I are in Shangjun, this transaction will be discovered as soon as the number of transactions increases. ”

Speaking of this, Su Yi glanced at Wang Biao lightly. "So, I decided to sell my weapons and armor to the many squires and magnates in Shangjun......"

Before he finished his words, Wang Biao's face suddenly turned pale.

Originally, the Wang family had access to weapons, and their strength suddenly increased a lot, far exceeding most of the forces in Shangjun County, but this was also the advantage that they had no source of weapons, if Su Yi sold weapons and armor to all the forces in Shangjun County, then the previous advantages of the Wang family would no longer exist.

The financial resources of the Wang family are far less than those of the major tyrants in Shangjun County, once they are willing to spend money, they will buy more weapons and armor than Wangjiazhuang, and at that time, the status of the Wang family is far from being as high as it is now.

Su Yi seemed to see Wang Biao's worries, and said, "Don't worry, the young master, the weapons and armor I sold them can only protect them from ordinary rogues and bandits, and they are not sophisticated weapons. Meng Hai has seized a lot of bandit weapons before, most of them are leather armor and light armor, these I will sell to many squires in Shangjun County, so that they can equip their own families and guards, but armor like thick iron armor and fish scale armor, I will only sell to the Wang family. ”

When Wang Biao heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, sir!" ”

If Su Yi just sold inferior armor like leather armor to the rest of the forces, Wang Biao didn't have to worry at all, the leather armor might be okay to resist weapons such as rogue sticks, and once it touched a weapon like Wangjiazhuang's horse chopping knife, it could break the defense with one sword.

And Su Yi only sells inferior weapons such as knives to other forces, and ordinary knives can only cut through a light armor with at least three knives, and it is even more difficult to break the thick iron armor.

Thinking of this, Wang Biao threw away the unhappiness in his heart and said with great joy: "The adults sold these weapons and armor to them, and these treacherous squires had to let their family members and guards go outside the city to suppress bandits. When the time comes, the adults can free up their hands to deal with the Hu people in Shangrao County......"

Su Yi glanced at Wang Biao lightly, this Wang Biao is really a person with a clear mind, if this person is sincere in trying to embarrass him in Shangjun County, it will also be a headache, but Wang Biao is good at judging the situation, he can see at a glance that Su Yi is different from Chen Hu, the soldiers and horses under Su Yi are very fierce, and he is not as insatiable as Chen Hu, Shangjun County is just a stepping board for Su Yi, and this shoal can't trap him as a real dragon.

"Not bad." Su Yi said with a smile: "If they want to buy those weapons and armor, they must promise this official to go outside the city to suppress the bandits, otherwise, this official will never let the weapons and armor be sold to them." ”

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Su Yi's eyes, and he said coldly: "If anyone is willing to contribute to the county, the official will naturally not treat him badly, but if anyone is against the yin and yang and is afraid of war, then don't blame the official for being ruthless." ”

Wang Biao nodded, although Su Yi was doing this by using the forces of all parties in Shangjun County to suppress the surrounding bandits for him, he was at least willing to sell weapons and armor to them. You must know that these things are prohibited by the imperial court, although Shangjun County is on the edge, but if someone makes a fuss about this matter in the future, it will definitely affect Su Yi's career.

In this case, Su Yi was still willing to take out these weapons for sale, which made Wang Biao a little admired.

Although Wang Biao didn't want the other forces in Shangjun County to buy weapons and armor, he also knew that if the other forces did not have decent weapons and equipment, then the task of counterinsurgency in Shangjun County would only be pressed by Su Yi on the head of the Wang family.

Now that Su Yi sells them inferior weapons, he can just force these squires and Haoqiang to work for him, and also relieve Wangjiazhuang of some pressure on suppressing the bandits. (To be continued.) )
