More than 500 pieces of artillery were purchased, and the transaction price of each one was only thirty taels of silver. Perhaps for the people of that era, this kind of artillery with little technical content, mass production is a matter of minutes, and the cost is not high.

Lu Mi Gong is twenty taels of silver a shot, and the revolver is cheaper, only ten taels of silver. Not to mention the grenade, five taels of silver each.

According to this rhythm of trading, even if it is armed with your own life, the amount of consumption required for this upgrade is really not easy to complete.

You must know that the fourth level is upgraded to the fifth level, but it requires a consumption of one million taels. According to this calculation, wouldn't it take 10 million taels of consumption to upgrade from level 5 to level 6?

Sure enough, the more advanced the gadget, the more difficult it is to save it in this era. God knows what kind of thermal weapons will appear after level six, maybe rocket artillery or multiple rocket launchers will appear? Airplanes and tanks will appear? Could there be a cloudburst bomb? What about nuclear bombs?!

Seriously, Zhang Hongbin didn't dare to think about it.

In the end, I bought 10,000 grenades, 10,000 reflexes, and 10,000 revolvers, and a total of 320,000 taels were consumed with bullets and artillery, which naturally deducted the 20% discount enjoyed by the fourth-level authority. I don't know why, after seeing this transaction amount, I suddenly felt that the consumption amount of one million taels was not too difficult.

However, firearms are the top priority, and naturally they cannot be sold to the outside world, which means that these weapons are likely to be bought and sold on a one-shot basis, and it is useless to continue to buy them, unless they continue to expand their army. In other words, it is obviously unlikely that there will continue to be such a 32% increase in consumption in one go.

But at least one thing is certain, so many firearms consume ammunition is definitely not a small number, a month to consume 20,000 taels of ammunition base is inevitable, in other words, every month can bring 2% to 3% of the consumption progress. Plus other cargo...... You may be eligible for an upgrade within two to three years.

If we consider the development of firearms on our own, this progress will be further extended, in other words, it may take five years to reach the upgrade standard.

But it doesn't matter, these weapons are the most advanced in contemporary times, and they are also the ones that no one can imitate. In other words, even if there is no upgrade in Chinese New Year's Eve years, these weapons can give Zhang Hongbin a kind of combat effectiveness that sweeps through the air. Unless, on the strategic side, there is some inevitable major mistake.

"Young master, you've been in the study all morning, and now it's time to eat, I don't know if it's in the room or in the living room?" Liu Ruyi's voice came from outside, and at present, Zhang Hongbin's study is only close to her.

In the same way, in Zhang Hongbin's bedroom, only Chunxiang can be approached. As for Ruan Cunzhu's little girl, she has no privileges in this regard.

"It's in the study......" Zhang Hongbin replied after thinking about it.

The newly purchased items are still in the system's warehouse, and he has to find a place to bring them out, and most importantly, how to reimburse the Ministry of Finance is a problem. After all, this is a weapon that no one has ever seen, and the most important point is the current surplus of the Ministry of Finance, which he remembers is about 500,000 taels. This needs to be used not only for military purposes, but also for all kinds of contingencies.

In the final analysis, Zhang Hongbin invested too much in replacing equipment and researching equipment before.

"Young master, please eat!" Liu Ru walked in, holding a meal and a bowl of soup in his hand.

"Well, put it here, I'll eat it later." Zhang Hongbin smiled and pointed to the desk that was still empty.

"Young Master, you seem to be very tired these days?" Liu asked with concern.

"The enemy is going to fight next year, and now our money reserves are not sufficient, and there is no way to carry out enough outfits, plus other civilians also need to invest a certain amount of money, I am having a headache for this." Zhang Hongbin smiled.

He was not wrong, even if the Zhangjia Chamber of Commerce would bring him hundreds of thousands of profits every year, it was internal money, and it was a basic national policy to separate internal money from finance.

"You're a big man, and what you're doing is not something we little girls can interfere with. But you are our master, I hope you can be happy, the body must not be too busy except for any situation...... Phew, what am I talking about? Liu Ru is really a little heartbroken, Zhang Hongbin is a little heartbroken.

He may look a little hideous because of the scar, but he has a young and handsome face, so that the scar is not fierce, but a kind of masculinity.

He doesn't know how to write poetry and songs, but he knows how to do things for the people and do practical things. Liu Rushi, who is used to seeing talented people in Guiyun Academy, knows that those talented people who can only write poems and songs and look very talented, and when they really go to be officials, in addition to relying on their masters, they are afraid that they will not be able to do anything. In the end, those who are forced to become corrupt officials are the party to blame.

He allowed the people in the base area to live and work in peace and contentment, and he was able to quickly obtain relief for the people who came to defect. The agricultural tax he set was very low, and more taxes were supplemented by industry and commerce, and I have to say that if the Ming Dynasty was like this, the Salvation Army might not be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty even if it occupied half of the country.

Liu Ru is Zhang Hongbin's secretary, and she will also help when Zhang Hongbin is handling government affairs. Her three views are constantly improving, and at the same time, her personal feelings are beginning to sprout.

For an age when it is common to marry at the age of thirteen or fourteen, Liu Rushi can be regarded as a girl who can be married at half an age. For the future Lang Jun, she also fantasized about it, but now in his dream, his image is infinitely changing towards Zhang Hongbin's appearance.

Yes, she found that she fell in love with Zhang Hongbin, and at the same time, she also realized that since she became Zhang Hongbin's maidservant, she originally belonged to this man.

Therefore, she is now deeply in love with this man, even if she can actually understand the taste of love.

"Well, you don't need to blame yourself. Now that the weather is getting colder, I don't have much to do, so I'm going to relax. Zhang Hongbin smiled and scratched her little nose.

"Young master, the slave family has learned some massage techniques from their sisters in Guiyun Courtyard......" Liu Ru said with a blushing face.

"Try it!" Zhang Hongbin did not refuse.

Liu Ru went around Zhang Hongbin's back and carefully massaged for him, but his hand strength was still a little smaller, and it had no effect at all.

"Slave ......," Liu Ru muttered apologetically.

"It's okay, you're still young, and you'll have strength when you grow up." Zhang Hongbin has no intention of blaming.

"Slaves, they also know a trick...... I heard my sisters say that men like ......," Liu Ru suddenly made up her mind and said to Zhang Hongbin.

"If that's the case, don't talk about it, you're still too young!" Zhang Hongbin is colored.

"Not that...... Besides, people are not small. Liu touched the slightly bulging part of herself.

"What's that?" Zhang Hongbin was a little curious.

I saw Liu Ru kneeling between Zhang Hongbin's feet...... Zhang Hongbin had realized what it was, but he didn't know why, but he didn't stop it......

Perhaps in his previous life, he had never tried this kind of service. But every man yearns for such a service...... Perhaps this is a cognition in men's latent genes, and only in this way can it represent a kind of conquest of women by men. Well, it can be said that the greatest thing a man gets may not be pleasure, but a sense of achievement!

Seeing that Zhang Hongbin did not object, Liu Ru began to serve shyly......

In the end, Zhang Hongbin even had the idea of eating Liu Ruye directly, but in the end he held back. Liu Ru is still too young, and the feeling of holding it is still a little worse.

In a few years, enjoy it again.

Winter goes to spring, Liu Ru is relationship with Zhang Hongbin is heating up, in fact, Chun Xiang also found that every time Liu Ru went into the study to serve, she came out with a blushing face. If it weren't for the fact that everyone knew how to distinguish the body of the complete Bi in these years, and Liu Ruyi's Shougong Sand had been stored all the time, I was afraid that Chunxiang would really be jealous.

After all, in terms of grade, she is older than Liu Ruyi, but if Zhang Hongbin eats Liu Ru is first, wouldn't it seem that he is so unbearable as a 'self-conscious person'? As a personal maidservant, Haruka naturally can't allow such a thing to happen.

But now, Haruka doesn't know what she wants to do......

In the spring, after the Spring Festival, a new round of rearmament begins.

The army began to assemble and train in the best, after all, in a few days, they would be on their way.

The father bids farewell to his son, the child bids farewell to his loving father, the younger brother bids farewell to his brother, and the elder sister bids farewell to his younger brother. The scenes that happened in the Salvation Army base area were more not tears, but telling them to fight well for the base area, and they didn't need to worry about family affairs.

To be a soldier in The Salvation Army, you must have the pride and consciousness of being a soldier of the Salvation Army. Who doesn't know that the Salvation Army is a righteous army, a salvation army!

Don't lose the face of the Salvation Army, this is the most common sentence that relatives have said when they say goodbye.

Then, after three days of intensive training and three days of warm-up, in the early morning of the seventh day, the large army began to attack the county towns around Tongzhou!
