Chapter 16 Relief for Victims
As the splash of water from the 10,000 enemies gradually fell, I saw that many of the fish in the pool were blown up and turned white. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info look at this Hao Jie again, because he was caught off guard by the raised pool water and wet his clothes and pants.
Ziren was not affected in time to dodge, and when he saw Hao Jie's wet and embarrassed appearance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.
After Hao Jie saw the power of the 10,000 enemies, he hurriedly turned his head, turned a blind eye to the ill-intentioned smile on Ziren's face, and asked expectantly: "Shouming, how about the iron and silver taels needed to build 10,000 enemies?" The pacesetter battalion is about to be formed soon, so be sure to give me a batch to come out. At this time, Hao Jie seemed to feel that something was missing, thought for a while, and continued: "By the way, and the three-eyed gun, how much can you make in a month?" ”
Seeing that Hao Jie was so concerned about forming a pacesetter battalion, Ziren immediately put away his smile and replied with a straight look: "Back to Lord Hao, these two firearms are quite convenient to manufacture. The cost of a three-eyed iron nail is only five yuan, and it can be completed in five to seven days if the craftsman is skilled. The cost of a small 10,000-strong enemy is only about a penny, and a craftsman can make more than ten pieces a day.
At this time, Ziren paused, his face showed a trace of embarrassment, scratched his head and continued: "However, I have a limited number of craftsmen in Changning Fort, and I still have to allocate people to make blades and armor, and I can produce up to fifty three-eyed guns per month, and I hope that my lord will not be surprised." As long as the gunpowder is sufficient and the weather is sunny to dry the mud shells, it can produce 1,000 pieces per month. However, this mud shell is easy to seep into water vapor, so the last general suggested that it should be rushed before the expedition. ”
Hao Jie nodded slightly after listening, Ziren has just arrived in Liaodong for less than half a year, and with his limited family background, he can now make his own firearms, armor, and chariot equipment, which is not easy, thought for a while, and said: "I will allocate you ten sets of iron armor, fifty sets of cotton armor, plus 100 pieces of spear heads, waist knives, 50 rattan cards, plus 200 catties of gunpowder, so that all your craftsmen can free their hands." This officer transferred an additional twenty families of military craftsmen to your fort, plus 1,000 catties of iron and coal. You did your best to deliver 200 three-eyed guns in a month, do you have any doubts? ”
At this time, Hao Jie paused and glanced at Ziren vigilantly: "The iron and charcoal are all from me, you are not allowed to cry poor anymore." ”
Ziren thought for a moment and replied confidently: "Don't worry, my lord, the end will be guaranteed to be delivered in full." Speaking of this, Ziren had an idea, and said with a smile: "Lord Hao, most of the northern soldiers feel that the bird gun is cumbersome and unwilling to use it, and these three-eyed guns are in line with their appetite. Xia Guan is a native of Zhejiang, proficient in the way of birds, can the birds in this god hangar be allocated to the next, otherwise it will be dusted in the warehouse. ”
(The northern soldiers were impatient with the drama, insisting that the three-eyed gun with a fast gun was more convenient than the bird's gun, and when they hit the target in the teaching field, the bird's gun hit ten times the fast gun and five times the bow, and they were still unconvinced.) This Qi Shaobao also spoke. )
"I know that your kid is not well-intentioned." Hao Jie smiled slightly when he heard this, and then said: "I wish you to go to the Divine Hangar and choose another hundred bird guns, and then return to the fort as soon as possible to catch up with the work, if there is any delay, plus your previous disrespect to Shangguan, we will jointly punish the crime." ”
"The last will be ordered!" After receiving the note written by Hao Jie himself, Ziren saw Hao Jie holding such a grudge, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.
After leading people to rush to the god hangar and arsenal, and after receiving all the equipment, Ziren originally wanted to pay for it in private. Who knew that some time ago, the officials who had discussed the treasury shook their heads again and again, and Ziren learned after asking privately.
Hao Jie has been inspecting various warehouses in the past few days, and several granary officials who are guarding have been imprisoned for revealing their deeds of privately reselling military rations.
The guerrilla general Li clarified that because there were more than 800 soldiers under his command, they were also closely watched by Lord Hao. Now the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the city are all in danger, and no one dares to commit crimes against the wind.
Seeing Hao Jie acting so resolutely, Ziren couldn't help but feel respect, and made up his mind to serve him well, and to live up to the cultivation of himself by adults.
I wanted to lead the troops back to Changning Fort, but as soon as I walked outside the Qingqing Gate, I saw many ragged people, who were bending down to pick up the rice grains left on the ground when Ziren distributed grain. Many scrawny children could not resist their hunger, so they picked up the grains of rice stained with mud and sand, and put them directly in their mouths to devour.
Seeing this, Ziren's compassion rose, and he wanted Ding Youcai to ask what was going on, but he suddenly found that this kid had not returned after going to buy medicine.
"Folks, I don't know where you are from, why are you living in such an embarrassing situation?" Seeing that these people were quite jealous of their bright armor, they slowly took out the cakes they bought from their arms and distributed them to the children.
Seeing that Ziren had no malicious intent, a middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader stepped forward and replied with a respectful face: "Thank you for this general's concern, we are all military households in the forts around Liaoyang, and although it is hard to get up early and be greedy every day, it is barely passable." Speaking of this, the middle-aged man seemed to remember something sad, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a stalk: "But some time ago, Ritun Fort was attacked by the Mongol Tatars, and the surplus grain in the family was looted. ”
After hearing this, Ziren remembered that he had indeed seen many begging soldiers and civilians in the city before, and he couldn't help frowning. After thinking for a moment, he said categorically to his subordinates: "Urging Sheng, Han Shiyong, you two go around the city, and then see the soldiers and civilians who are hungry and let them all come here to receive porridge." Zhou Daqi, you lead half of the men and horses to escort the ordnance back to the fort first, Ma Shinan, you lead people to the grain store to transport fifty stone of grain, and then buy some pots and bowls and salt along the way. After that, he gave Ma Shinan two ingots of silver.
Seeing that his family had such kindness at a young age, several people immediately went their separate ways after receiving the order. Only Zu Damu, who didn't get the errand, said with a distressed face: "Lord Ding, you don't want to keep this bit of food to recruit troops. This is all used to help the hungry, but now it is the spring famine, the price of grain remains high, and the cost of re-buying is not low! ”
Seeing that the ancestor was mercenary, Ziren replied with displeasure: "The reason why this official gave up his pen to join the army is to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment. At this time, Ziren deliberately glanced at him, and said with a slight dissatisfaction in his words: "If the people are starving to death, what do we have to do as soldiers." You kid don't worry about this leisure, and have the strength to pick up more firewood and cook porridge. With that, he turned and went to appease the hungry people.
Ma Shinan's legs and feet are also very sharp, and he will bring all kinds of items after a short time. Without further ado, Ziren immediately led his subordinates to start burying the pot and boiling porridge.
As the hungry people who heard the news gathered more and more, Ziren tried to prevent chaos. The elderly, weak, women and children will be screened out and given priority to receive rice porridge. The remaining middle-aged men waited in line at the rear, allowing the old and weak women and children to come forward in turn after they had finished collecting. ”
When the hungry people saw Ziren dressed in military uniform, they didn't dare to disobey and immediately began to wait in line.
Just when Ziren was bent on appeasing the hungry people, a yin and yang strange voice suddenly came from behind him: "Hey~ Ding Daguan, you are here to invite people's hearts again, do you want to select some young and beautiful women from the hungry people, so that you can trick them back to the castle for you to play with?" ”
