Chapter 19: Divine Weapons
Now it's also the wheat harvest season, the average wheat field can produce 300 catties per acre, I have 6,000 mu, half of it is given to the villagers, and I still have 900,000 catties to raise soldiers, but a small soldier eats two catties a day, and 15,000 people have to eat 900,000 catties in a month.
As I walked along the road, I unconsciously thought about money and food again. Now the development of Junmin Village is on the right track, but money and food are a big problem, with the continuous influx of displaced people, the burden of Junmin Village is already very heavy, if the situation continues, Junmin Village is bound to be dragged down. Of course, I can use the power of the dignity of a county to drive out the displaced people by forceful means, but I will not do this unless I have to, first, I can't do it when I look at those hungry and cold displaced people; More importantly, I hope to take this opportunity to improve my reputation.
Money, food, money! Ay! Where shall I go to get money and food? Is it necessary to take drastic measures to stop the continued influx of displaced people?
Just walking on the street, a soldier handed over a bamboo slip, mainly to copy the money and food embezzled by the master of the family. There were 100,000 taels of gold, 500,000 taels of silver, and 200 quintals of grain.
My obedient, it's not a small number, I don't know that the former Hu master book is greedy for so much money and food! What the fuck! Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The first ones hurriedly collected the iron and made weapons for Guan Yu and them.
Just as I was thinking about the problem, someone reported that two businessmen asked to see the new Taishou in front of the Taishou Mansion.
When I walked to the gate of the Taishou Mansion, I saw two horse dealers, and I looked at them with recognition, about thirty years old, of medium stature, wearing fur coats, and dressed in the same way. But Zhang Shiping has a black mole on his chin, and those eyes are always shining, which makes people feel rough and shrewd. And Su Shuang's round face smiled even sweeter, giving people spring-like warmth.
The two often travel back and forth to Zhuo County, and they are also familiar with Zhang Fei, so the two were also introduced by Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei stood in front of the two of them, Zhang Fei is not the same as Liu Bei now, and the power to worship with me is limited, and he can't enter the Taishou Mansion without my permission, leading to meet with everyone, and entering the hall of the mansion to sit, Zhang Fei introduced Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, and also explained.
Zhang Fei touched his head and said with a smile: "I almost forgot about it." Big brother I have nothing to do today to go to the wine workshop to drink, I met two horse dealers who are personal friends, these two people came back from the good horses sold in Liaodong this time, and wanted to sell them at a high price in the Central Plains, and they didn't want to go to the capital on the way except for the hungry people, that is, the plague, or the bandits were rampant, and he drove a large group of horses There was no way to pass, and he came to us, heard the name of the fat brother, and tasted the good wine brewed in the village. I want to give us the horse, buy some good wine, sell it back to Liaodong, and sell it to Xianbei, Wuheng and other foreign races. It's just that the guy in charge of the wine workshop didn't dare to call the shots, and he was stunned to say that the owner of the village should be in charge, and the two of them quarreled there, I heard it, and I also knew the two of them, so I brought them directly to find the fat brother. ”
"Brother Su, I wonder how many horses you have left unsold? What is intentionality? Su Shuang arched his hand and replied: "Lord Liu, the villain is a man who lives in Guangchang, Zhongshan, and every year he has to sell horses to the north and transport them to Puyang in the Central Plains or Luoyang, Kyoto to sell. I don't want to sell horses this year, and when I get here, the road ahead is either starving people and bandits, or the plague breeds, and I can't get through it for thousands of miles. Fortunately, it is rumored that Lord Liu is benevolent and righteous, and he makes good wine "Wine Fairy", so he comes here with a cheeky face, wanting to exchange horses for fine wine, not only losing blood. Now I have a hundred good horses, and three of the best horses are worth a hundred gold each, and the good horses are sold for ten taels of gold each to the adults, or exchanged for good wine of the same price. I hope that the adults will have mercy on the small ones and fulfill them. ”
I pondered for a moment and thought to myself: This is the era of cold weapons, I heard that this is the most powerful cavalry, since I have decided to rely on force to protect myself through the upcoming Yellow Turban Rebellion, then simply organize the best! Anyway, if you exchange horses for wine, you have your own wine, so he waved his hand to Su Shuang and said: "You're welcome, since you are Zhang Fei's friend, then I want your horse, and I will make a deal according to the price of each horse you said, and I want you to buy another 5,000 horses, you may be able to do it?" ”
Su Shuang summed it up and said: "My lord, five thousand good horses, the number is too large, I am afraid it will be difficult to raise it for a while, and there is a lot of gold and silver needed, and the villain is unable to pay in advance." ”
I listened and said, "I can give you an extra 5,000 catties of wine as a deposit, and you can do your best to prepare and send it in batches, and exchange it for fine wine at any time to nourish the principal." ”
Su Shuang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said happily: "Such a villain will definitely be able to complete the adult's entrustment, and Lord Xie will fulfill the villain." ”
"I just heard on the way that adults need iron, to build weapons for all generals, I happen to have a thousand catties of iron, and I am willing to sell it at a low price."
I'm happy as soon as I am, this is to send a pillow for sleepiness, and make good use of businessmen in the future, otherwise I may not be able to find a few things by relying on my own network.
"So, great, I just need it, and this will be purchased at the market price of eight taels of silver per catty."
After talking, Su Shuangji went back to hand over the horses and iron, so I had to ask Zhang Fei to send him to hand over and transport the horses and irons to the barracks, and I arranged for my own soldiers to invite the best craftsmen to build weapons.
Half a month later...
"Fat brother, are these ......?" , Zhang Fei stared at the things in front of him with wide eyes and hunger. It turned out that there were three sets of armor and blades in front of Zhang Fei. These three sets of armor and blades are different from ordinary ones, they are all made by the best craftsmen in Zhuo County using iron. In this day and age, these are definitely armor gods.
These three sets of armor are the leopard head chain armor, the tiger head chain armor and the bear head chain armor, each set of weight is almost 50 catties, and the defense is excellent. Next to the three sets of armor, there are also three weapons with different styles, namely the tiger head hook sickle spear, the Zhangba snake spear, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife. The shapes of these armor blades are all made by craftsmen based on my memories of later generations, and they are absolutely eye-catching.
Looking at the armor divine soldier in front of them, the three people, including Guan Yu, all widened their eyes, and they all looked hungry and thirsty.
I was very satisfied with the reactions of the three people. I first briefly introduced the three sets of armor and divine weapons, and then said after the appetite of the three of them was satisfied: "This bear-headed serial armor and the green dragon glaive sword cloud are long, the tiger head serial armor and the zhangba snake spear are the black brother's, and the leopard head serial armor and the tiger head hook sickle are Xiao Chen's. ”
"Thank you, my lord!" , Guan Yu and Zhang Feijun were very excited, and everyone had already directly called the lord when they were officially now, after all, my brother is too guarded now.
The three of them couldn't wait to take off the ugly plain armor on their bodies, and quickly changed into the treasure armor that Chen Chu had prepared for them. Then he picked up the divine soldier and danced a few times, trying the feel, and they all showed a very satisfied expression.
Seeing the three of them put on treasure armor and hold divine weapons, I suddenly felt my eyes light up. These three people were originally Kong Wu Kuiwei's generation, and now they are even more powerful under the backdrop of the treasure armor divine soldiers.
He is worthy of being a fierce general of the Three Kingdoms!
Guan Yu seemed to be dissatisfied with the armor he was wearing, but he couldn't put down the knife. I just wanted to come to Guan Yu's favorite dress. Second Brother Guan likes to wear green brocade and green dragon robes, so I immediately asked people to arrange for Guan Yu to tailor ten sets and send them directly to his room.
As for me, of course, I wear a guard uniform, and I don't know martial arts, and I don't charge into battle, but for the sake of safety, I still made a fish scale inner armor and an iron fracture fan. That's just a total of five pounds, and it's really not heavy for my current strength.
