I saw Li Maosen leading those craftsmen, each holding a bird gun in his hand, he walked in front of Wang Dou, and said to Wang Dou with joy: "My lord, the little one is fortunate not to be dishonored, after a month of fighting, I finally completed the six doors of the bird gun, and I came to return my life to the adult." He held the gun in one hand, his eyes were just aimed at the star, and after looking at it for a while, Li Maosen pulled the board machine, and there was a "pop" sound, white smoke rose up, and the wooden board in the distance was already smashed and splashed.

"Okay."

Wang Dou praised it, and everyone was also thunderous.

Li Maosen's face was full of pride, he personally took the wooden board for Wang Dou to check, Wang Dou looked at it for a long time, according to his and Han Chao's estimates, this kind of bird gun is eighty paces away to the enemy army without armor, and for the armored enemy, if they are put closer to fifty paces to fight, it also has great lethality.

Next, try to shoot the rest of the birds, sure enough, the doors are all excellent, Wang Dou was very happy, he laughed and said: "Okay, Li Jiangtou, you really live up to my expectations, I decided to reward you, each of you will be rewarded with a bucket of rice, Li Jiangtou, you add two catties of meat." ”

Several craftsmen were happy, and Li Maosen also hugged his fists with a smile on his face and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

……

Wang Dou asked Li Maosen and the others to make persistent efforts, and the six bird guns that were made were just for the rest of the knife hands of each team, and after that, they were both bird guns and long knife hands.

In some time, the New Year will be celebrated, and from this month onwards, the Ming army in the border area will begin to routinely go out of the fortress and burn the famine every year, but in this Jingbian Fort, Wang Dou still let the three teams of soldiers train every day, and if they practice well, let them add food, and if they don't practice well, they will be beaten.

Watching his army take shape every day, Wang Dou was not happy in his heart, it was fake, but as the New Year approached, he had another trouble in his heart, that is, he didn't have much silver left, and he saw that he had bought rice a few times, and he was about to run out of rice. I heard that the prices in various places are still high, and one stone of grain and rice still costs more than four taels of silver.

The food of more than 200 people is a lot of money every day, and even if you can celebrate the New Year, what should you do after the spring next year? There is no food to eat, the people in the fort will be disheartened, in order to survive, maybe these military households will go out and become homeless people, Wang Dou can't withstand the loss of population, and now every household in the fort is a valuable resource for him. I heard that he is now promoted to the commander of the rejection dunjia, and he is also having a hot fight with a sister of the kiln in a state city, which can be said to be very happy in the gentle township.

This Gao Shiyin can also be regarded as having died with Wang Dou and others, and now he came to Jingbian Fort, in order to welcome, Wang Dou specially ordered to cook a pot of mutton, and scalded two pots of wine to entertain him.

At this time, everyone is sitting in the hall, on the table is a pot of boiling mutton soup, from time to time steaming hot fragrance, next to a burning red fire, on the hot wine, everyone sits at will, this kind of cold ghost weather, eating hot soup in the house, sucking hot wine, very comfortable.

"Damn, this hellish weather is so cold, it's still comfortable here."

Gao Shiyin drank the hot soup in a big gulp, the wine was only poured into his mouth, while holding chopsticks just to pick meat in the pot to eat, he was wrapped in a thick leather jacket, and he was also wearing a thick leather hat on his head, and he originally had fur around his neck, but after drinking some wine, the heat came up, and he simply ripped off the skin around his neck.

Han Zhong looked at Gao Shiyin and said, "Gao Manzi, how is this time going?" I heard that you have a fresh and handsome girl? You're having a good time. ”

Gao Shiyin suddenly put the bowl on the table, and the broth in it spilled out, and he shouted: "Don't mention that girl, people say that bitches are ruthless and unrighteous, this is really right, as soon as I don't have any money, her face will turn faster than a book." ”

His face was shaking, as if he remembered something that made him hate so much.

Han Zhong was dumbfounded, and he shouted, "You have no money?" I remember that day you divided more than a hundred taels of silver, more than a hundred taels, and you spent it so quickly? ”

He said incredulously, "Is it true that all your money is spent on that woman, and she will make money?" Or is she gold-encrusted underneath? ”

Gao Shiyin let out a long sigh and sat down in his chair a little decadently.

Wang Dou held the soup bowl with both hands to warm his hands, and after listening to the words of the two, he just shook his head, and the rest of them shook their heads the same.

Han Chao said: "Gao Manzi, you have no money, what are you going to do?" ”

Gao Shiyin glanced at Wang Dou with some embarrassment, but just bowed his head and said nothing. He had a strange relationship with Wang Dou, and seemed to want to bow to Wang Dou, but he couldn't pull off that face.

Wang Dou smiled, lifted the wine jug to fill the cup in front of him, and said, "Brother Gao, if you don't dislike my humble fort, let's stay here for a while." Just what about your chimney? You're a fool. ”

Gao Shiyin was overjoyed, he rubbed his hands, just thanked Wang Dou, he said: "Don't worry about the king, there are people watching in the pier, and besides, it's freezing this day, and nothing can happen." ”

He tried to show Wang Dou a smile, but his face was full of flesh, and the smile couldn't be gentle.

Half-ringing, he seemed to remember something, and he said to Wang Dou flatteringly: "Wang Tou, have you heard?" ”

"What did you hear?"

Wang Dou said lightly, he took a sip of wine, and then took another piece of mutton and threw it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Gao Shiyin said mysteriously: "Fangjiagou was slaughtered last night, I heard that it was a good thing done by the gangsters in Xishan, and none of the old and weak women and children in the entire village were spared, it was really miserable." ”

"What?"

Everyone was shocked, Wang Dou was even more shocked, that Fangjiagou and Yizhuang and Xinzhuang are all one of the villages in Sangganli, but not as good as Xinzhuang, that Fangjiagou and Yizhuang are just two small villages, there are not many people, and the wall outside the village is also quite low.
