Chapter 46 Arms Suppliers

In the county seat, Zhao Yun signed the biggest deal after coming here.

Now that the two sides began to cooperate, Zhao Yun began to put forward some of his original plans.

First of all, ask the people of Anhui to help contact and buy a transport plane to speed up the delivery of goods.

In this era, the First World War in Europe had just ended, and there were many surplus military aircraft for sale in the hands of European countries.

Although there is a call from the outside world for an arms embargo on China, it is still easy to buy a military to civilian aircraft.

But the premise is that you have a relationship, that is, a network, which is what Zhao Yun lacks the most at present.

There are money, people, and interests, and things are done quickly. In less than a week, Wang Yougui came to him, saying that there was a stock in the UK and that it could be supplied immediately. "Now the whole of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China is influenced by the British. If you want to buy an aircraft from another country and want to transport it into the Yangtze River estuary, it is estimated that you will be levied a large amount of taxes. Wang Yougui analyzed the reasons to the ignorant Zhao Yun.

But where can Zhao Yun understand! Do we have any British goods that are not history majors? Forget it, the British are the British! It's a war now, they've just won, and their strength is still okay. It seems that it is still the world's first power in this era! The United States is still its little brother!

There are airplanes, but there are no pilots. This Anhui person recommended a few pilots to Zhao Yun who studied in Europe. They were all rejected by Zhao Yun, just kidding, even if there is really no pilot, then you can only cultivate it yourself, use yours? At a critical juncture, it's really hard to say who the surname of this plane is.

Although the contact was made, the plane would not arrive until a month later. After all, the logistics speed of this time and space is not as fast as that of future generations!

However, with this month's free time, Zhao Yun will hurry up and start the construction of the airplane's site.

Venue! Of course, he chose his own jurisdiction, Zhou Village.

Directly widen and pave the mountain road at the entrance of Zhoucun. As for the manpower, of course, the entire Zhou Village was recruited to help.

If you want to get rich, build roads first! Zhao Yun still knows this sentence.

After they repaired the road, Zhao Yun was worried about the bearing capacity of the road, so he directly asked the horse team to run on it for an afternoon, and the road surface was smooth.

This road can be used by airplanes in the future, and it is also used by people in the village to enter and exit in normal times. It is under this banner that the labor force in the village is so motivated.

The use of the aircraft also made Commander Deng and a group of people who have been paying attention to Zhao Yun understand that the original goods are all in the air! It is no wonder that a few forces who want to investigate the source of Zhao Yun's goods have blocked the roads to the outside of the entire mountainous area, and they cannot find the source of goods.

High, high, really high!

The matter of this plane is not in a hurry, and all we can do at the moment is to wait.

Wait? For Zhao Yun, there is still a lot to do!

Solving the problem of freight, the next step is the problem of developing resources, because the resource production of farmland is more cost-effective than the external grain import, Zhao Yun is ready to come to the next large-scale production.

It was also money that opened the way, and the entire county that was smashed this time was shaken.

The county government even sent people out to coordinate, select the site and recruit people, all of which were handled by the county government, saving Zhao Yun a lot of trouble.

Zhao Yun sat on the sedan chair and inspected the work in various places, looking at the busy scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to have money!" ”

The farm, located on the eastern slope of the southern part of the county, allowed farmers to build 20 mills and 400 plots of farmland.

A law enforcement team of 20 wind cavalry and 20 archers was then deployed. The descendant of the county magistrate, Wang Yougui actively transferred another 100 militiamen, in the name of "maintaining order", as for what to do, Zhao Yun and the owner of the county government know it well.

And the 10,000 young men drawn from various townships and towns by the county are also in place.

Zhao Yun organized them into groups according to the units of later generations.

For every 1,200 people, there are three people per field. There is a depart every 6 hours. 24 hours a day, 4 shifts in shifts. Another shift is used as a substitute for people who often work night shifts.

Of the other 4,000 people, 1,000 are responsible for the torches at night and the food for the staff.

In order to light up the venue, their workload is not light, and they need to find a large amount of firewood every day.

There are also 3,000 people, Zhao Yun gave them a special task, along the official road, also to build a runway that allows planes to take off and land. In the future, if the county wants goods, they will be transported here directly by plane.

Wang Yougui has done enough to be a guard, and he is pulling goods all day long to help transport guns, and he has to be scared every time. With the experience of being ambushed for the first time, his heart beat faster every time he walked on the mountain road.

"Brother, thank you, brother!" Wang Yougui looked at the young man who was paving the road and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder.

"Big brother, you're welcome!" Zhao Yun is now watched by him every day, and wherever he goes, he follows him, without any freedom.

Now the two of them are standing on the high ground around the farm, looking down on the operation of the entire farm.

The whole farm is now in full swing, and the 100 farmers who have been transferred to take charge of it are only responsible for building the farmland.

The young men transferred from the county were responsible for collecting the grain from the fields and piling it up next to the mill, and the farmers sent it to the mill.

Since none of the young people in the county could be recognized as their own personnel by the camp, this final process could only be completed by a large number of peasants.

Although there is still a gap between the gathering speed of these young and strong farmers and the camp farmers, 400 fields can only be harvested twice an hour, but the large number of farmers in the camp is omitted.

Moreover, each harvest can bring Zhao Yun 220,000 food jù, which is Zhao Yun's most stable source of resources at present.

These food resources were exchanged directly in the "bazaar" for huàn, and the mass production of firearms began.

The 10 arsenals established there in Zhou Village began to produce a steady stream of weapons. The output of an arsenal is basically between 200-300 a day, and 10 can produce less than 3,000 weapons, so all the requirements of the Anhui system can be completed within half a month.

In the remaining two and a half months, with the massive resources collected, Zhao Yun is ready to start attacking the fifth level, of course, the premise is to build the castle.

Previously, due to the problem of the venue, Zhao Yun had no good way, but yesterday, he suddenly remembered an old film "Who Am I" that he had seen before, in which there was a scene where a helicopter was used to lift a net-like object, which directly covered a certain area below.

You can also build a net for the camp, a big net!

A large group of women left in the village were gathered, and even the women from Wu Xiaoya's side asked for some to come over. At the price of two catties of rice per person per day, in exchange for the high enthusiasm of the women.

When the camp produced a large number of fishing nets, the women connected them. Weave into a giant net.

At the same time, in the valley of Yixing, farmers began to build arrow towers on the slopes around the valley, building more than a dozen arrow towers on the same level. The Cui family who moved in the past wrapped vines around them to give them cover, or simply moved some trees around them.

After the construction of the valley also began to build a road, here also to build a road that can be used as an airstrip, fortunately the requirements of the aircraft in this era for the runway are not too high, some can take off and land on the grass, otherwise Zhao Yun still doesn't know where to buy cement!

A total of three such large nets were weaved, and people were asked to apply grass ash and grass juice to the nets, and even if it was completed, the work of weaving the nets took a month and a half.

Several things were going on at the same time, and the famous saying that there is strength in numbers was once again confirmed.

By the time Zhao Yun's plane came, these things had basically been completed.

The plane is a Handley Peti 0/400, which turned out to be a bomber, but Zhao Yun is not a military fan, and he doesn't know what this plane looks like, and he still doesn't know it.

Because now this guy is still a bunch of parts.

"This is an airplane?" Zhao Yun was speechless for a while. Also temporary assembly! You think it's a bicycle? Originally, I wanted to sit on it and go for a ride in the sky, but now Zhao Yun doesn't have the guts, in case he doesn't install it properly, he falls apart again when he is in the sky, then he really becomes a "cup"!

However, the assembler who came with him said that there were also a few in Beijing, and there was also a Beijing-Tianjin route. Zhao Yuncai didn't say anything, but he didn't know that the route was only used to transport mail, not people.

Hearing that it would take a month to complete the assembly, Zhao Yun had an urge to kill.

"A month? What do you use to assemble. Zhao Yun looked left and right, but he didn't see the assembled machine.

"This!" The assembler, also British, replied in broken Chinese, casually pointing to a batch of wrenches of various models that had been shipped with the parts.

Zhao Yun was suddenly petrified.

"You're awesome!"

"Thank you, there are also many people who call us John Bull!" The British were quite happy when they heard Zhao Yun's "praise".

After arranging for the Englishman and his entourage to rest, Zhao Yun looked at Wang Yougui and said, "This is the plane you provided?" I've sold you all the good stuff! You're going to give me this! ”

However, looking at Wang Yougui's invitation, Zhao Yun could only rub his nose helplessly.

Forget it, now is not the time to turn your face, you still have to take a dip under other people's trees! It's a big tree that is about to fall, but it's better than nothing. I just hope that when I fall, I won't be stoned to death.

As soon as things were on the right track, Zhao Yun became an idler.

Of course, Zhao Yun will not waste this time, and all kinds of good things are smashed at the "John Bull", an aircraft technician named Peck.

So, people saw such a scene on the airstrip.

Zhao Yun used broken Chinese English to talk to the other party, and from time to time he had to make a few gestures, and the other party also used the same broken Chinese to talk to Zhao Yun from time to time. The real half-catty to eight-tael.

Due to the drag of Zhao Yun, the plane only flew a month later, and it was actually delivered a month and a half later. But in the past month and a half, Zhao Yun has established a friendship with Peck and become good friends!

From Peck's mouth, he learned about the current situation in Europe, all kinds of different planes and warships, as well as the customs and customs of the countries he has visited, such as Britain and France. It can be said that it is the first time that someone has shown a whole new world in front of Zhao Yun's eyes.

In the end, it was time for Peck to leave an address for Zhao Yun so that he could go to him free. With a cartload full of gifts, Peck left accompanied by the consulate staff who had come to pick him up.
