Chapter 37 Making extra money
The master of Zhou Village has finally returned from the field!
Not long after the cavalry took Zhao Yun and his party back to the county seat on the border of Langxi, the old men of the entire county knew about it.
In the past month, the county magistrates carried out three military exercises in the open space outside the county seat, which was called training the troops. In fact, they all pulled out the newly issued rifles to shoot at the target, and showed it, and Machink opened fire to deter it.
This kind of exercise is a deterrent to the gangsters who have been constantly appearing recently, but it has been held three times in a row, so everyone knows who the target of this demonstration is.
Suddenly, the entire county was boiling, and the old men everywhere couldn't sit still. Langxi is not only Yaocun Township and Biqiao Township!
Feili Township, Shuiming Township...... The old men all inquired about the source of the guns.
Although it is a little more expensive, it is not very expensive to send so many bullets. And the gun is good, not exploding. The most important thing is that you can pick up the goods in this county, so you don't need to go to other places, which saves a lot of risks. And the machine gun is also delivered to the door, it's worth it!
Therefore, Zhou Village has received the attention of many people, and the law and order situation in the village has declined rapidly recently. The village is full of strangers from outside, and what's even funnier is that the other party also conducted a make-up investigation, but what do you think when you find out that there are more than 20 merchants and more than 40 cigarettes in the village?
After the approval from the second county, Zhou Village and the surrounding two villages are under the jurisdiction of Zhao Yun, although the population of the other two villages is not very large, after all, Langxi has a total population of more than 300,000 people, and there are few large villages with more than 1,000 people.
Therefore, Zhao Yun's cavalry was still stationed outside the village of Zhou Village. However, the defense of Zhou Village has been strengthened, and the weapons on the four arrow towers have been replaced by bows and arrows with "made in Hanyang", and the shooting range covers the entire village.
Zhao Yun is now dead and wants to go back, so he can only mix in this era.
Of course, the first thing is to transform your nest into a turtle shell, so that you have the foundation to live.
The second thing is that I have more free time, I don't have to hurry up to find my way as before, I can't go back, my heart is put down, I have a lot of time to squander, I can take a look at my hometown in Suzhou in the era of the country, I heard my grandfather say that my family used to have a big house in the city, and I can also go to see what my old ladies are busy with by the way.
I stayed in this place when I was a child, and the dialect of Gusu was very smooth, and it was no problem to pretend to be a local. In this way, he temporarily found an identity for himself as a cover.
Although there is no ID card in this era, you should never make the mistake of empiricism. Don't look down on the armor protection system in the early years of the Republic of China, the things left by the ancestors are the crystallization of the ideas of the predecessors, and they may no longer be applicable now, but they may not be the most suitable at that time.
It was still very easy for capable people to check people at that time, and in the era when there were no universal roads, many people had never left the village for a hundred miles, and being able to speak a local dialect could block many people's curiosity and questions.
Zhao Yun, who was eating in a restaurant in the county seat, was pulled over by an invitation from the county government after taking a sip of soup. After drinking tea with the county magistrate for two hours, Zhao Yun, who was hungry with his chest against his back, slipped out. I returned to the inn with a large suitcase, and many people were already waiting at the door with prayer stickers.
It was not until the evening that Zhao Yun found a chance to get out, returned to the inn and opened the box, and a gun that was different from the old version of "Made in Hanyang" produced by Zhao Yun appeared.
This time, it was a business of 500 "made in Hanyang" and two Machinke. However, the other party proposed to ask for a new style of "made in Hanyang", afraid that the specifications would be different, and the other party also brought samples.
What is the difference between these two types of "Made in Hanyang"? This time it was Zhao Yun's turn to be confused. He was not proficient in weapons in the first place, but now he only relied on Shao Laoer, a veteran.
After some explanation, I learned that Zhao Yun produced the first generation of "Hanyang-made" imitation of the German German M1888 rifle, because there is a set of barrels on the outside, commonly known as the old sleeve. It was the weapon of the former Fresh Army, and Shao Lao Er used it before, so Wang Yougui couldn't look down on it at first. Later, there was an improved type to remove the sleeve, increase the barrel, add the upper handguard and divide the original upright type, divided into 5-20 gauge style, and improved it into a fixed arc gauge type, which was divided into 1-20.
Other structures of these two rifles are basically the same, such as the bolt nose is separated, the magazine is fed, the magazine is exposed, and so on.
"Oh! That's pretty much the same as it used to be! The stone in Zhao Yun's heart has fallen, if this gun far exceeds the previous "made in Hanyang", then the weapons of his elite musketeers will be updated, and it will be another expense!
Now that he wants to stay here to develop, Zhao Yun's little family spirit leaks out from time to time.
"Hmmm! For the gunner, of course, the latter one is better! Shao Lao Er said after comparing for a long time.
In that case, it means that it won't have much impact on your elite musketeers, so you won't change it.
Zhao Yun looked at this new version of "Hanyang Made", "I still haven't seen it, it seems that I need to enter the army to take a look at the current weapons in the army." ”
The next day, Zhao Yun was pulled out again and did a day's three escorts, eating, drinking, and chatting with him. Seven or eight orders were received in one day, a total of eight hundred rifles. Ma Qinke Zhao Yun didn't dare to sell the old money to these landlords, if these guys were Pan Datou's people, they drilled around in the mountains every day, and if they were ambushed one day, they would definitely die ugly.
In fact, Zhao Yun didn't want to take orders anymore, and he was ready to produce some more military units. After the autumn, it is estimated that Pan Datou is about to make a move, and I don't know how many of the ones sold now will fall into his hands. Isn't that an enemy?
Helplessly, as soon as I launched it under the pretext that the quantity was too large, the other party bought it at a higher price, what Wei Changgen from Shuiming Township bought a hundred, I want to buy one hundred and fifty. Eighty! One for eighty oceans! Ninety! Hundred! I'm out a hundred oceans!
In the end, Zhao Yun succumbed to the attack of the silver bullet, and on the third day, he sold another thousand at the price of one hundred, many of which he bought yesterday and added today.
That night, Zhao Yun used the excuse of going back to contact the source of goods, opened the city gate with the warrant of the county magistrate, and fled back to Zhou Village.
That's 160,000 oceans! These rich people are really rich!
Returning to Zhou Village, he rested in the village for a few days, looking at the busy scene outside the village, Zhao Yun couldn't help much. After cutting the rice for more than ten minutes, I couldn't straighten my waist. Is there a threshing machine for turning the grain?
Let's command the command!
The cavalry was ordered to run back and forth in a clearing outside the village for an hour, creating a new threshing floor for the village, and then the cavalry helped to transport food to the villagers.
The farmers at the camp built a wooden wall around the village, and the villagers wrapped some roses around it, resembling thorny plants.
The messy wooden fence has been demolished, and the whole village seems to be much cleaner.
Seeing the villagers busy, Zhao Yun felt that it was also very good here, and the pace of life was much slower. The original life was full, but it was busy, and I couldn't be idle for a moment, but now that I am free, I also find that there is not only work in life. In fact, many people have potential, if you don't force it, the potential will not come out, but if you often put pressure on yourself, it must be depression in the end. So now it's all over the place! Health care! It is a release from long-term pressure.
Zhao Yun, who was lying down and watching the scenery, suddenly found that it was still uncomfortable to rest like this, and he sent a beautiful woman to chat and talk about life! By the way, that Wu Xiaoya doesn't know what's going on? I haven't seen her for a month, and the people who come to trade are all "bad water hemp", the big back, the four-fold head, the big white pockmark, and the image of a long neck pollute my eyes!
Be sure to find a place to take care of your eyes. Thinking about it, Zhao Yun began to think about it.
The arrow towers in Zhou Village were built in the west of the village, and Zhao Yun planned to build a small courtyard with three entrances between the arrow tower and the entrance of the village.
In the past few days, I have eaten and lived in the house of the largest landlord in Zhou Village, Zhou Shoufa, and the big landlord of Zhou, watching their family drink porridge with pickles every day, and they can't even see any meat.
"Master, I'm not here to fight the autumn breeze, is it necessary to make myself so cold, and a family of more than a dozen people drinks porridge every day?" Zhao Yun was still worried that they had no meat to eat at first, and he took advantage of others, but later saw them secretly get up at night to eat chicken, Zhao Yun sighed, the story of Zhou Papi is still somewhat popular, it doesn't seem to be made up!
Forget it, let's move out! Let this big landlord feel at ease! Zhou Shoufa, people are not bad, but they are too stingy!
Zhao Yun built a three-row camp at the entrance of the village, and the huts were connected by wooden walls, so that it became a small courtyard with three entrances.
However, Zhao Yun, who had no house loss, also did a lot of tricks this time.
The first row of huts is a European-style house with a fireplace, a large chimney leading to the roof, the second row of huts is a house in the Egyptian desert area, with two floors, the second floor has a small platform to dry clothes or something, and the third row is Chinese-style, with a well at the door, so that you don't have to go out of the yard to drink water. Another arsenal was built in the cavalry bamboo tower surrounded by the arrow tower, so that it was much more convenient for Zhao Yun to get a gun or something.
In the evening, the villagers who returned from the fields were startled when they saw that there was a small courtyard in one day, and their eyes were full of awe when they looked at Zhao Yun! Legend has it that only the gods can change buildings, and of course, so can monsters! But look at them more of the latter!
Zhao Yun's current idea is very simple, that is, he wants to live in Zhou Village for a while, and when this autumn harvest is over, he will go out for a walk.
Go to Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou in the Republic of China, visit the temple fairs of the Republic of China, and it is best to go out to the ocean, take a half-year tour of Europe, and see the European dumplings of this era.
Now that I'm empty, it's time to take care of the camp.
Langxi Camp: 200 farmers,
1st Cavalry: 40 (20 Wind Cavalry, 20 Archers)
2nd Cavalry: 40 (20 Wind Cavalry, 14 Archers, 6 Elite Lancers)
1st Infantry: 40 (36 Elite Riflemen, 4 Monks)
Camp Guard: 30 (4 militiamen, 6 shieldmen, 10 elite crossbowmen, 4 cuirassiers, 6 archers)
Medical team: 2 monks.
Yixing camp: 10 farmers
Camp Guard: Wind Cavalry 10
At present, the resources at hand are more than 200,000 for wood and stone, 300,000 for grain, and less than 100,000 for money.
Ocean, if counted, the orders received can exceed 200,000. These Zhao Yun are ready to keep the capital and do some small business.
The farmers in the stone chamber are now basically only responsible for planting, and the last time the ore veins provided by Shi Foshan have been hollowed out, and no new veins have been found later.
The cost of stone is not large, and the collection has been stopped, and the original manpower on the stone has also been transferred to the farm.
Weighing the resources in his hand, Zhao Yun estimated, "I am already preparing to mix here, and the army in my hand will definitely increase." ”
According to the standard of the second cavalry team, the cavalry team built another eight teams to make up 400 people, and the infantry team built another four teams according to the first infantry team to make up 200 people, of course, these troops can only stay in the cave and cannot be released for the time being.
At present, his exposed strength is less than a hundred, although there are three heavy machine guns, but the number is too small, in the eyes of the local forces in Langxi, it can be a powerful foreign force, but it cannot affect them.
If Zhao Yun puts his expanded strength away, then all the local forces in Langxi will list Zhao Yun as a great enemy, and it will be possible to join forces to besiege at that time!
Since ancient times, the Chinese have liked infighting, but they also like to huddle. As you can see from Chinatowns around the world, everywhere you go, you must gather relatives and friends.
However, the most important problem now is the next grain collection, which is the signboard of the grain store, claiming to be the outpost of the grain store, if you don't collect the grain, you can't say anything, and these collected grain can also increase your own resource storage.
There are too few people in the Yixing camp, and they were only used as a transit station in the past, but now they have to revitalize this chess piece.
The peasants produced one hundred and eighty, and made up two hundred. At the same time, according to the standard of the 1st Infantry Brigade, two teams of 80 men were formed as garrison troops. All the production camps that can be built in the fourth-level camps are built, and arrow towers and wooden walls are built in the mountains, and external camps are built.
In Zhao Yun's goal, in the future, it will be a cottage, and some people from Langxi will be relocated to the past, and a base will be established on the border of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, which will be the first step.
On September 30th, cars and horses gathered outside Zhoucun, and people were boiling. The various factions of Langxi gathered outside Zhou Village, as if this was the center of power in Langxi. Of course, Zhao Yun still does not have this appeal for the time being.
This is all a situation caused by Zhao Yun sending someone to inform you to receive the goods today a few days ago.
After receiving this notice on the same day, the militia groups in all townships and towns stopped taking vacations and fired guns and bullets. Several families who have good friendships also meet to go on the road together.
Why? The militia in Biqiao Town is a role model, who dares to go on the road alone now!
