"I really didn't expect it, but in two days, Hewan Village will have a new look, Zhang Erlang is really good!"

Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "It's just a matter of doing things with your heart, just like you Wan Daren, didn't you get so many pots and pans in one day!" If you have time, you might as well stay and try the fish soup, I also do my best to be a landlord, thank you for your generosity! ”

Wan Baichuan couldn't hear the mockery in his words, he couldn't wait to tear Zhang Ke apart, if it weren't for one of his letters, he wouldn't have bled heavily. New hatreds and old hatreds are piled up in my heart, but the momentum of Hewan Village is so good, it won't be long before Zhang Ke can trample himself under his feet.

Envy, jealousy and hatred are intertwined, and Wan Baichuan is so angry that it wants to explode.

He glanced at the city wall of Hewan Village, and suddenly sneered: "Zhang Erlang, don't drink fish soup and drink your head is dizzy, the ice city wall is vulnerable, if there is a little wind one day, maybe it will fall!" ”

"Hahaha, don't worry about it, I'll do it myself."

"That's for the best!" Wan Baichuan got on the war horse, took his subordinates, and ten empty cars and left.

Qiao Fu looked at Wan Baichuan's back and spat fiercely, "Brother Ke, what does the old thing mean, I think I should teach him a good lesson, let him know that Lord Ma has three eyes!" ”

Yue Zixuan, who had just finished moving things, was also angry, and said: "My lord, this old thing is greedy, and he hasn't settled accounts with him yet, so he can't let him go!" ”

Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "Don't be anxious, the important thing at the moment is to stand firm, when our strength is enough, crush him like a bedbug!" ”

Qiao Fu also felt that what Zhang Ke said was reasonable, and everyone was busy distributing things. One pound of salt per person, a pair of bowls and chopsticks, one pot for ten people, and one stone of grain. The rest of the cotton clothes and shoes are given priority to the elderly and children.

The people holding the things burst into tears of excitement and lay on the ground to kowtow to Zhang Ke. Although they are still poor and scarce, but with these things, they can live, they have hands, they are willing to endure hardships, as long as the court does not oppress them and do not bully them, they will not worry about not having a good life. Obviously, Zhang Ke rekindled their hopes and became scrappy.

Not only that, Qiao Tieshan found more than a dozen hunters and bought all the skins in their hands. Shen and Aunt Qiao took a group of women to make clothes and boots, which were specially worn by young people who went out hunting and patrolled at night, so as not to freeze. As for the other shovels, shovels, adzes, chisels, axes, and saws, all of them are counted as public property, and whoever does the work belongs to whomever uses them.

After distributing the things, Zhang Ke called several responsible people over.

Qiao Tieshan, Yue Zixuan, Ma Rufeng, Wu Boyan, and Liu Blacksmith, everyone sat together.

Zhang Ke looked at Qiao Gui first and said with a smile: "Brother Gui, let's talk about the purchase first!" ”

"Well, Qiao Gui nodded, since yesterday, I have gone to Daqing Fort, as well as several surrounding villages, and spent a total of 13o taels of silver to buy 85 stone of grain, and the grain on the market has almost been bought. However, these eighty-five stones are not much, according to one pound of grain a day, you can eat for ten days at most. ”

Zhang Ke frowned and said, "No, it's still too little, at least there must be a month and a half of grain storage." Brother Gui, I'll give you another 5oo taels, all of which will be used to buy food, the more the better! ”

"5oo taels?" Qiao Gui was also frightened: "In the past two days, we have bought a lot of clothes, tools, and medicines, and we have spent more than two hundred taels, if we take out another 5oo taels, I am afraid that the rest is less than 4oo taels." ”

Zhang Ke raised his eyebrows and said: "The money that should be spent will be spent, and it is also beneficial for us to save more food, don't forget that the Tartars have often entered the Kou over the years." If they come in, we will have no food in our hands, so we will starve to death! ”

Qiao Tieshan nodded and said, "Gui'er, what the adults said is right, not only should you buy more food, but also hunt and catch more. Anyway, there is no fear of rotting in winter, and the more you save, the better. But money is also a big thing, I heard that Lao Liu's stove is very profitable, shouldn't I do more? ”

Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Uncle Qiao, the cost of a stove is less than one or two taels of silver, plus the road fee is at most one or two or two dollars, and it can be sold for at least four or five taels of silver when you get it to Guangning Horse Market, which is definitely the most important source of money at the moment." ”

Zhang Ke looked at Blacksmith Liu and asked with a smile, "Uncle Liu, can you start work immediately?" ”

"No problem!" Blacksmith Liu patted his chest and smiled: "I took a turn in the village, it turned out that there are mountains and rivers in Hewan Village, and the imperial court built an iron-making workshop here, which has been abandoned all these years, and the craftsmen have also run away, but the things are still there, pick them up, and you can start work immediately!" ”

Yue Zixuan thought for a while, and suddenly said, "My lord, we also have a few people who can strike iron!" ”

"Really?" Zhang Ke asked in surprise.

"That's right, the Tartars value our craftsmen very much, and the ordinary labor they grab every time is not even as good as livestock, but the craftsmen will treat them as if they were guests and let them help make swords and weapons. There were more than a dozen blacksmiths who escaped with us this time, and I heard that they could also make swords! ”

"Great!" Zhang Ke laughed excitedly: "Now not only are there people who are making stoves, but even there is hope for weapons!" ”

"Your Excellency, you want to make weapons?" Wu Boyan asked excitedly.

"Of course, there are so many of us who must have weapons to protect themselves, and it is not possible to care if the court asks for weapons, even if they give it, it is still rags. We must build our own weapons and arm ourselves! ”

Wu Boyan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "My lord, what are you going to make, I have heard many Mongolian Tartars say that they are most afraid of three-eyed guns, and they are most afraid of birds, let's also make firearms, and when the time comes, we will beat the Tartars to the bottom and urine!" ”

"Yes, that's a good idea, I agree!"

Qiao Fu said excitedly, and suddenly hit his head, "Dad, why do you always beat me?" ”

"Just beat you a little bastard, how much does it cost to build a birdshot, how much time does it take, and besides, ordinary craftsmen are not good enough to make it, and if you don't do it, it will blow up, what's the use?"

Zhang Ke also smiled: "What Uncle Qiao said is that we must make firearms, but not right now, not even swords." We only make flower guns, the more the merrier! ”

"Yes!" Qiao Tieshan said with a smile: "The flower gun is good, the gun shaft is made of hardwood, and there are some on the mountain, and there are not many iron guns for the head." It is also easy to train a pikeman, as long as you learn to stab and retract simply. ”

Yue Zixuan scratched his head and asked pitifully, "Uncle Qiao, can you do it with just one move?" ”

"Hahaha, boy, you haven't been on the real battlefield, tens of thousands of people are lined up to kill, and it's useless to use any tricks. Besides, we don't want to fight in the field, as long as we can defend our home. ”

Zhang Ke also nodded, it is true that pikemen are the cheapest troops in the era of cold weapons, but they are also the most lethal, and the neat pike array can even resist the impact of cavalry. Zhang Ke is familiar with the training methods of later generations and is still very confident.

"Just do what Uncle Qiao said, let's first select two hundred and fifty young men and a team of fifty people. Yue Zixuan, Ma Rufeng, Wu Boyan, Qiao Gui, Qiao Fu, the five of you are the captains. I was personally in charge of the training, and Uncle Joe was my helper. ”

When several people heard this, they all stood up and clasped their fists in salute.

"Please rest assured, I will do our best, Ma is Zhan!"

After discussing it properly, he was about to make arrangements, when suddenly Huzi ran in panting.

"Brother Zhang, that Wan Baichuan is back again!"

Zhang Ke suddenly stood up and asked in surprise: "Why did he come back, is he alone?" ”

"No, there are many officers and soldiers with him, almost two or three hundred."

Zhang Ke's brows suddenly furrowed, "Let's go, go out and have a look!" ”

Everyone was also anxious, so they followed Zhang Ke closely, came to the wall, looked outside, and saw a large area of black pressure, and the number of people was only a lot more than Huzi said. In front of the team, in addition to Wan Baichuan, there was also a military general riding a green horse.

The chain mail of this military general, covered with a big red robe, is particularly conspicuous.

"It's him!" Wu Boyan cried out in surprise.

Zhang Ke hurriedly glanced at him: "Do you know this person?" ”

Wu Boyan's facial features suddenly distorted, and he said angrily: "My lord, he is the one who forced us into the valley, wants to rob our things, and kills us!" My lord, they chased after them again, but I was afraid that they would not give up. ”

"Don't worry!" Zhang Ke said without hesitation: "Put your heart in your stomach, if you can't even keep your subordinates, I, Zhang Ke, don't mess around." ”

Zhang Ke stood at the head of the city, and smiled at the bottom: "I don't know which adult is coming outside, Zhang Ke is polite!" ”

The military general pouted and didn't speak, but Wan Baichuan ran out haughtily.

"Zhang Ke, this is Lord Xu Bangyan, the commander of the Yizhou Guard, Lord Xu does not avoid the wind and snow, and leads the men and horses to pursue the thieves, when you get here, don't you open the city to greet you!"

"Hahaha, since Lord Xu is here, how dare you slack off on your humble position." Zhang Ke smiled: "Kaecheng! ”

The people below hurriedly opened the door, but Wu Boyan looked frightened, "My lord, you can't let them in!" ”

Zhang Ke patted Wu Boyan on the shoulder, "I know it in my heart!" ”

The city gate opened wide as he spoke, Xu Bangyan rushed in first, and when he saw Zhang Ke, he didn't have to look at him, he raised his head and said, "Are you Zhang Ke, the chief of Hewan Village?" ”

"It's a lowly position!"

Xu Bangyan sneered: "Not old, not small, don't you know, the third daughter of Wanbaihu is my concubine!" ”

"Hahaha, congratulations to the lord, Wan Baihu looks about the same age as you, his third daughter is the good age of nephrite Wen Xiang, the adult is blessed!"

Don't expose the shortcomings, Zhang Ke is equivalent to pointing at Wan Baichuan's nose and scolding him for being shameless, exchanging his daughter for a future, Wan Baichuan completely exploded his lungs. With his son-in-law's support, he is not afraid!

Gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Erlang, you have bullied the old man several times, and the old man is not as knowledgeable as you, but at this time, Lord Xu is here, and you still don't hand over the bandits who are harboring, be careful of the dog's head!" ”

Zhang Ke touched his head and said with a smile: "There is no dog head, only a dog skin hat, but some people are old and bite like mad dogs, which is the power of dogs!" ”

"You!"

Thousands of rivers rushed to his brain, and he almost fainted.

"Lord Xu, you see, Zhang Ke is so stubborn, what he relies on is Wang Huazhen's power. But don't forget, a civil official is a civil official, and a guard is a guard, and there is no good end to eating inside and out! ”

Xu Bangyan narrowed his triangular eyes, looked at Zhang Ke, and said: "This official tracked down more than 500 escaped bandits, and they ran all the way to Hewan Village, and when they arrived under your rule, hand them over as soon as possible." Don't think that if you have a backer, you dare not to take this official in your eyes! ”

Xu Bangyan said with a smile: "The county official might as well be in charge now, you won't understand this truth, right?" ”

Zhang Ke was still smiling, staring at Xu Bangyan, puffing out his chest and saying: "Lord Xu, are you not a bandit, you only have one sentence below, you want to take people away from my hands, that's wishful thinking!" ”
