Xiao Yiming respectfully accompanied Zhong Ying into the main hall, Zhong Ying was not particular, she casually found a stool to sit down, picked up the wine glass that Xiao Yiming personally gave her, and drank it all.

After a few rounds of drinking, Zhong Ying was slightly drunk, and several guards brought ten horses.

Zhong Ying waved her hand haughtily, and asked Wang Qian and the others who were saluting to get up and hurry home, and when these students who met for the first time rode away, Zhong Ying returned to the wine table, and saw that Luo Laosi had already put on a table of new wine and food, nodded with satisfaction, sat down with a big grin, took out the telegram in his arms, and handed it to Xiao Yiming: "The master of the Taiwan made the order for me to send it." ”

Xiao Yiming took it and patted her thigh happily: "Okay!" Thank you to Master Taiwan, thank you Brother Zhong! It's good now, the two grandsons Liu Bingxian and Zeng Chaoran can enter the eighth phase of this non-commissioned officer school! ”

Zhong Ying pouted: "It's not you who go, as for Le Cheng, is this like this?" No, the three bags on the bamboo chair on the wall contain five thousand oceans, which my brother helped you get from the master of the table, don't be too little. ”

Xiao Yiming was taken aback and waved her hand again and again:

"How does this work? Big brother, you know that the younger brother is not short of money, so it is better for the eldest brother to take it back and give it to his sister-in-law and younger siblings as a New Year's red envelope. ”

Zhong Ying put down her chopsticks and looked at Xiao Yiming with appreciation:

"Brother, brother, brother, brother, I won't give you this brother in vain! But you have to take it, it's the rule, you know? Brother, I know you have money, but one yard is one yard, and you can't be ambiguous. Do you think my brother and I have no money? I guess you've also heard that my brother has some connections in the capital, and he has never been short of money to spend, and the position of the co-ordinator of the 33rd Association was bought back from Chen Eun, a general under the command of the former governor Xi, for more than 30,000 oceans last year.

"Chen Eun, who was a bitch and set up an archway, embezzled tens of thousands of taels of silver for the construction of the army primary school, and couldn't make up for the hole, and saw that Lord Xi was about to be transferred to the governor of Yunnan, so he was so anxious that he quietly found his brother to carry the deficit, and then he patted his ass and left. But it is precisely because of this that my brother and I began to be lucky and gained the trust and cultivation of the people who made Taiwan, which led to today's status.

"So, money is a thing, it depends on how you earn and how you spend it, but you must talk about the rules, you can't get mixed without rules, for example, these five thousand oceans, it should be yours, don't you want to do it, do you understand what my brother means?"

Xiao Yiming finally stopped refusing: "Okay, the little brother will thank the eldest brother, come, the little brother will give the eldest brother a cup!" ”

Zhong Ying laughed, lifted the wine glass, drank it all, put down the glass and shouted loudly, seeing Wu San, who was sitting next to him, pouring himself wine, and remembered something:

"Brother, I see that many of the brothers around you are from the Lian family, and you don't need me to send you guards at all, do you think this is good, you pick two trustworthy brothers yourself, put the military registration in your brother's personal army, and you pay them yourself to follow you, won't it save trouble?"

Xiao Yiming was overjoyed, this was the thing that had a headache for him in the past few days, and now Zhong Ying was generously solving problems for herself, how could she not move him? immediately raised his glass, and saluted Zhong Ying again.

Zhong Ying hurriedly pulled him to sit down:

"Drink slowly, my brother will have something to do later, and I will get something from the family of Lord Fantai, and I beg Lord Fantai to allocate tens of thousands of taels of silver to my horse team as soon as possible."

Xiao Yiming took the opportunity to consult the details of the feudal domain, the various provinces, the prefect and the prefect of Huayang and Chengdu counties, Zhong Ying knew everything, told the story, and finally persuaded righteously:

"Brother, I heard that you are going to run a hardware factory, and my brother advises you to take it easy, do you know the largest Tiancheng factory in the local area? In addition to imitating Western machines, the clothes, quilts, stirrups, harnesses and other things of our new army and border army are all supplied by Wu Juewu, the shopkeeper of the Tiancheng factory on the rich side, and you must be familiar with it. But I'm afraid you don't know that behind the shopkeeper Wu is the prefect and governor of Chengdu.

"As for the other Huacheng Machinery Factory, it is also very close to the military, these two factories have been fighting to the death for several years, can you not get into it again, with your ability, you can still see that little bit of hard-earned money everywhere?"

Xiao Yiming nodded gratefully:

"I understand, the eldest brother's golden and jade words, the younger brother will definitely remember it! Big brother, you wait......"

Xiao Yiming ran to her room, took out a cardboard box, and respectfully gave it to Zhong Ying:

"Big brother, this is a small gift prepared for you by the younger brother, I wanted to send it in two days, since the eldest brother is here, the younger brother doesn't have to go again."

"Tsk! Look at you, a few days ago, you just sent a lot of expensive gifts such as watches, perfumes, and foreign toys to your brother and sister-in-law, and today you sent something to your brother, which made my brother panic. ”

Zhong Ying reluctantly took it, and was just about to hand it to the guards on the side, when Xiao Yiming asked him to take a look first.

Zhong Ying opened the lid puzzled, the smile on his face suddenly condensed, he quickly took out the gift, threw away the box, pulled out the cold and shining Mauser shell gun in the wooden holster, skillfully played with it, turned to Xiao Yiming, and asked excitedly:

"Where did it come from? My brother just mentioned it to you once, and you quietly got it back? ”

Xiao Yiming said with a smile: "This is the only one, it is still the German military attache who asked the younger brother from Shanghai, the real 9mm Mauser military pistol, which is exactly the same caliber as the pistol of the German Army, and the power is better than the 7.63mm caliber, 1,600 rounds of ammunition, in the back box, the eldest brother will bring it when he leaves later." ”

"Can you still get this gun? You know my brother and my guard only have three old Brownings, it's not a problem! If you can equip a hundred fucking guns, Lao Tzu dares to use a hundred people to charge someone else's battalion! Zhong Ying looked at Xiao Yiming eagerly.

Xiao Yiming scratched her head in embarrassment:

"Big brother, this gun is too expensive, I heard that if you buy it through regular channels in Shanghai, German foreign companies will cost more than 90 marks, almost 50 oceans, and distribute 500 rounds of ammunition, which is only 7.63 mm caliber, if it is 9 mm caliber, I'm afraid it will have to be more than 50 oceans, not counting the freight to Chengdu, it is better to buy a Colt pistol, 32 oceans can buy one, and Browning 1900 will be cheaper."

"It's not expensive! This kind of German-made Mauser, Tianjin privately sold for sixty or seventy yuan, and there are only 100 rounds of ammunition, and there is no place to buy it if you have money, and my brother I like the benefits of this Mauser from Germany, I am afraid you don't understand, just from Baoding to the border army' Jingzi battalion's standard system brought one, the baby has to be like his wife not to let people touch, said that the practice of thirty zhang can kill people, and can be loaded with ten bullets at a time, half a month ago I saw him shoot a few shots, twenty zhang outside the penetration of four inches thick solid wood plank, grandma's really fucking powerful, my brother I am so hungry that my saliva is about to flow out, if Lao Tzu gets back dozens of hundreds of branches, desperate who can help me? ”

Zhong Ying couldn't put it down, staring at the brand-new shell gun, and said with a fluttering eyebrow.

Xiao Yiming nodded thoughtfully:

"If the eldest brother really likes it, I'll go to the Germans tomorrow and ask if I can get a few more. Don't mention the money, just give it to my eldest brother! The eldest brother is the one who leads the troops, and he may be transferred to the battlefield at any time, so it is a good thing to have a few more powerful guns to defend himself. ”

Zhong Ying hurriedly said, "It's too little! Can you do more? Isn't it money? My brother has money, you let the Germans make a price at will, help my brother buy one hundred and eighty guns, if you can buy two hundred, it would be better, in addition to equipping the guards, build a pistol company! ”

Xiao Yiming opened her mouth wide: "So much? It is estimated that 200 pieces will cost more than 10,000 oceans, and I don't know how much the shipping cost is! ”

"The little family is angry, isn't it? More than 10,000 oceans, you bared your teeth, how can you get rich with my brother in the future? It's decided, you have to find a way to get 200 rounds back for your brother, in addition to the ammunition, buy an extra 50,000 rounds of ammunition, how much money to go back and squeak with your brother, and your brother will send it to you immediately. ”

Zhong Ying stood up, untied the Browning M1900 produced by the Shanghai factory on her waist and threw it to the guards, immediately put the shell gun holster up, tightened the wide belt, and shook the new gun a few times:

"Brother, this is the best gift my brother has received this year, don't say thank you, when you help my brother buy back two hundred sticks, my brother will put wine to thank you!" What's that...... What about bullets? ”

Xiao Yiming hurriedly went to move out a heavy wooden box, Zhong Ying asked the guards to take it quickly, bent down and looked down at the German on the box, and made a series of "tsk" sounds in his mouth:

"Great, I'll get enough when I go back, haha! Let's go, brother, don't forget what your brother entrusted you. ”

Xiao Yiming hurriedly sent out with his two brothers, until Zhong Ying and his party disappeared outside the courtyard wall, Luo Laosi said with great admiration: "Open your eyes, little brother, how much can you earn with two hundred guns?" ”

"It's just about a thousand oceans, you can't make much money by selling guns alone, and it's bullets that make a big profit." Xiao Yiming replied with a low smile.

Wu San suddenly walked over: "Little brother, I also like the shell gun, give me one." ”

Xiao Yiming frowned when she heard this: "What do you want that thing that can't be hidden?" In a few days, 500 Colts will arrive, and I will send you two. ”

"I just like the shell gun, just looking at it makes me feel imposing!" Wu San was extremely fascinated.

Xiao Yiming was surprised: "I said, you also tried my Colt, didn't you say that you like it very much?" ”

Wu San blushed: "I haven't seen a barge gun before, so I don't have to compare!" ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you donkey, go, fourth, go back and eat something, all of them are drunk and have nothing to eat, I'm really hungry." Xiao Yiming turned around and walked back to the hall.

Wu San took a few steps to catch up: "Little brother, I want to wear a military uniform and follow you every day." ”

Xiao Yiming hurriedly turned around: "Nonsense! In addition to practicing martial arts, you don't read more books and write more? What's the use of following me? It is the right thing to come out and lead the troops after two years of entering the military school mix. ”

Wu San took a step forward: "Little brother, I'm not reading material, my second brother also said that I am not a business material, I am destined to follow you in this life, I will follow you wherever you go." ”

Xiao Yiming was completely out of whack, glared at Wu San in annoyance, and went back to sit down and fill his stomach.

Luo Laosi looked at Wu San, who was standing still, sighed, and came to sit down beside Xiao Yiming:

"Little brother, I think the third brother's idea is reasonable, the three of us follow you, I'm afraid we will learn much more than what military school we go to."

"Huh!?"

Xiao Yiming put down her chopsticks: "You think so too?" ”

"Not only me, the second brother also thinks so, the second brother said that if you didn't force him to learn more about the police, it would be of great use in the future, he would have begged you to transfer him to the army, if I was a little stronger, I would also want to put on a military uniform and mix with you every day, it's a pity! Who let my father give birth to my skinny one? Luo Laosi sighed after speaking.

Xiao Yiming looked at Wu San: "Have you told your father and brother about this?" ”

Wu San was overjoyed, turned around on the spot, suddenly raised his legs and ran, and rushed out of the gate like a flyer, probably looking for his father to report.
