Chapter 203: Always Be Ready
As a law-abiding citizen, it is impossible for the Xu family to have a large number of ordnance. Not to mention the Xu family, even the Kang family, which has been a military household for generations, cannot have a large amount of ordnance. However, Xu Yuanzuo didn't want to finally recruit the backbone of the Qi family's army, so he brought them a bunch of farm tools, although the farm tools were very similar to weapons.
Wouldn't that become a quantum computer with win95 to play Tetris?
Kang Pengzu can get enough ordnance from the guard through his connections, and the price is easy to say, but this is very likely to alarm the Jinyi guard. I'm not afraid of them telling the truth, I'm just afraid that they will open their mouths and increase costs.
So there is a cheaper channel that has no troubles: An Liuye.
As Xu Yuanzuo knows, the operation of this era is inextricably linked to the Inspection Division. The Inspection Division can possess controlled weapons, such as bows, crossbows, shields, and armor. Therefore, it is enough to follow the path of An Liuye and buy a batch of controlled weapons from the Inspection Division.
As for the spear, the boring palladium, the knife of the swords, and the firebolt...... These are not regulated in the first place, they are scattered all over the place, and they can be bought in the market. The wolf of the Wutai knife is actually a bamboo. Find a suitable one, chop two, install an iron spear head, deal with the branches, and you're done.
Xu Yuanzuo asked Luo Zhenquan to contact An Liuye, and An Liuye was naturally willing to do business, so he called Niu Dali to come and contact.
Because Gan Chengze is the old sentry commander of the Qi family's army, he is very familiar with all kinds of weapons, so he naturally wants to join the procurement team.
After lunch, a few people took pen and paper, drew patterns, and made a list.
Everyone knows that you can't be sloppy in this matter, it is the cost of eating and living, so no one thinks about saving money for the Xu family. According to the configuration of 100 people, carefully calculate the required ordnance. In the end, not counting the saber, it will cost seven or eight hundred taels.
"This has not yet been added to the armor, to go from the accounts. I'm afraid to frighten them. Luo Zhenquan looked at the sudden burst in his heart: No wonder the Qi family army was invincible back then, and people piled it up with silver! It's like a pirate, it's good to have a knife.
"Well, it seems that only part of the book can be taken." Xu Yuanzuo thought for a while, and then said: "What you are wearing is all out of the account." Let's go halfway inside the weapon. β
"Then there is a lot of silver left. You're not going to post money again, are you? Luo Zhenquan said.
Everyone remembered that Xu Yuanzuo posted money to the owner to do things, but they always forgot that he had never suffered a loss.
Xu Yuanzuo is quite satisfied with this.
"It doesn't matter." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Soon the silver will come in." β
Luo Zhenquan and Gan Chengze nodded silently.
Niu Dali was stunned: "What are you going to do again?" Take me with you! β
"Go! We are serious businessmen, can you treat us as thieves? Xu Yuanzuo scolded with a smile.
Niu Dali thought of Xu Sheng's incident, and said secretly in his heart: How can a thief be so cunning and vicious as you.
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly thought of something again, and said, "By the way, I have something to tell you, it's about Xu Sheng." β
Luo Zhenquan is an insider, and he took the share. Gan Chengze is going to do dirty work in the future. There is no need to shy away from it.
Niu Dali continued: "That kid secretly went to Nanjing a few days ago. I don't know what it is. β
Xu Yuanzuo groaned slightly: "You didn't arrest him out and ask?" β
"That kid is too careful, and he can't do anything for a while." Niu vigorously said: "Why don't you go to his house?" β
"If you have that ability, you can try." Xu Yuanzuo sneered.
Tricking people out and kidnapping tickets and burglaries are two difficulties. If Sixth Master An really dared to be so unscrupulous in the county town, he would have been exterminated by the government a long time ago, and he would still have to live until now?
Niu vigorously scratched his head: "Then what should I do?" β
Xu Yuanzuo said: "It's been so long, and you haven't put an ear or eye in the past?" It's really incompetent. β
Niu Dali was trained and didn't dare to reply. just silently missed the once obsessive and stupid Xu Yuanzuo.
Xu Yuanzuo said again: "Let's inquire about this matter slowly, and then we will do the matter at hand first." That's right. There is another thing to negotiate with An Liuye: we often have to transport some loose goods by water, and we plan to buy a few ships and hire a few boat bosses. β
Why do you need to find a boat to hire a man?
It's easy to buy a ship, it's not difficult to hire people, the key is that the dock is in the hands of the bank!
If you want to live in peace, you have to make this money. Unless you only use private docks, you don't have to entangle with those big dock tyrants.
Niu Dali himself originally collected the fees at various inner docks, so he naturally understood the reason and said, "This matter is on me." β
"Well, that's right. Dali, how long has it been since you've been home? Xu Yuanzuo asked suddenly.
"Huh? I've just come from home. Niu Dali looked dazed.
"Well, that's the case, you and Qiu Laojiu robbed such a place as the county town, it's better to go out and fight the world by yourself." Xu Yuanzuo said: "I have soldiers here, you have someone in your hands, let's grab a place to come down, isn't it better than you following behind others?" β
Niu Dali's eyes were a little straight. Although he didn't know how many soldiers Xu Yuanzuo had in his hands, so many ordnance was not fake. He swallowed his saliva and asked, "That thief bird is indeed a bit difficult, where do you say we should rob it?" β
ββCan a dozens of years old gangsters tell you to get rid of it so easily?
Xu Yuanzuo said secretly in his heart, but his finger tapped the table: "Business couch." β
"Over there...... Not! You're going to do it over there! Niu Dali whispered.
Xu Yuanzuo nodded: "I already have a plan." If you move quickly, you can catch up with the pie; If you're slow, I'm afraid you won't have anything to do. β
"When?" Niu Dali's face was hideous and decided to do a vote.
Anyway, there's no loss, it's a big deal to go back to my uncle! That's my dear uncle, who broke his bones and tendons.
"You're ready, you're always ready." Xu Yuanzuo said: "By the way, send two reliable people over and follow Lao Luo to facilitate the communication." β
Niu Dali knew that Xu Yuanzuo was cautious, and he had to finalize the contact person to deliver important information, and he already had a candidate in mind.
"That's all for this, don't add anyone else." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Vigorously, this time we won't take others to play, you know it yourself." β
This was an obvious veto of Qiu Laojiu, which made Niu Dali quite happy.
But in this case, I'm afraid I can really only get a little bit of the pie.
Niu Dali was a little entangled in his heart, and decided to take the time to go back to Zhuli to recruit a few familiar idlers as his subordinates to expand his strength.
Xu Yuanzuo didn't mind this, and finally finalized the ordnance matter and announced the dismissal of the meeting.
It's going to be May soon, so the old legend is the poison moon.
The fifth day of the fifth month of May is the first day of the ninth poison day of the poisonous month.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the fifth day of the fifth month of May was the day when the sailors of the Yue Kingdom began to practice; At the same time, it is also a day for the people of Wu to commemorate the killing of Wu Zixu; It is also the day when the Jin Kingdom commemorates Jie Zitui; It is also the day when the filial daughter Cao E threw herself into the river to find her father...... Well, of course, the most famous is the day when the white lady drank realgar wine and scared Xu Xian to death.
Hey, I always feel like I'm missing something...... (To be continued......)
