Outside the Chaoxian barracks, the two soldiers guarding the door made a hitch and stood guard everywhere weakly.

Footsteps came from the front, and the sleepiness of the two soldiers disappeared without a trace, and their eyes looked together.

"Stop," one of the soldiers yelled at the front.

Jia Nian walked over with Gu Enze and Sun Deqiu, and said politely to the soldier: "I am the village chief of Changhe Village, and I came to register the militia with the county lieutenant Zheng."

"The village chief of Changhe Village?" A soldier said to Jia Nian, his eyes full of doubt.

Another soldier looked up and down, showing a look of sudden realization, and a smile appeared on his face: "It turned out to be Village Chief Jia"

"Didn't Village Chief Jia just register two militiamen the day before yesterday? Why did you register again today," the soldier asked Jia Nian.

Jia Nian sighed at the soldiers: "My Changhe Village is in the place where water thieves are rampant, and I have to try my best to register the militia."

"Then please wait a minute, Village Chief Jia, and I'll go in and inform the county lieutenant," the soldier said to Jia Nian.

Then he turned and ran inside.

Watching the soldier's back gradually fade away, Jia Nian took Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze and waited quietly. Countless thoughts came to my mind, if only one day Changhe Village could also have its own military camp and build its own weapons and armor.

The sound of footsteps interrupted Jia Nian's thoughts, and Zheng Lianzhong walked over with a smile. The day before yesterday, I thought it was a one-shot deal, but I didn't expect that Changhe Village's financial resources would be so amazing, and today I had to register the militia again.

Looks like it's a fat sheep.

"Village Chief Jia" Zheng Lianzhong shouted at Jia Nian with a smile on his face.

Jia Nian hurriedly replied to Zheng Lianzhong: "County Lieutenant Zheng, I'm going to trouble you again today."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say......" Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian, and then the conversation changed: "It's not the first time that Village Chief Jia has come, he must already know the rules of the barracks."

"It's just that I don't know Village Chief Jia, this time I plan to register a few militiamen," Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian, but his eyes were looking around.

Jia Nian replied to Zheng Lianzhong: "Just the two behind me"

"Please County Lieutenant Zheng register them as the militia of my Changhe Village," Jia Nian said to Zheng Lianzhong.

The smile on Zheng Lianzhong's face faded a little, and his tone was a little stiff: "Register two militiamen? ”

"Why didn't Village Chief Jia bring the registration together last time" Zheng Lianzhong asked Jia Nian, with some displeasure in his tone.

Jia Nian didn't know how to listen to this unhappy tone, Zheng Lianzhong was disgusted with the lack of oil and water in this matter, so he said patiently: "The last time the two of them were not in the village for something, so they were divided into two to bring it."

"Come," Zheng Lianzhong commanded to the soldiers beside him.

The soldier stepped forward and bowed to Zheng Lianzhong: "In"

"Go and get the roster," Zheng Lianzhong commanded the soldier.

The soldier replied loudly to Zheng Lianzhong: "No"

After saying that, he turned around and strode towards the barracks.

Seeing the soldier walking away, Zheng Lianzhong asked Jia Nian: "I don't know what kind of weapons and armor Village Chief Jia wants to equip them with this time."

"I'm going to buy them crossbows," Jia Nian said to Zheng Lianzhong.

Zheng Lianzhong was shocked in his heart, and repeated in disbelief to Jia Nian: "Crossbow? You buy them crossbows? ”

"Could it be that the imperial court prohibits sales?" Jia Nian said deliberately to Zheng Lianzhong.

Zheng Lianzhong shook his head at Jia Nian: "The imperial court not only does not prohibit it, but encourages the purchase of bows and crossbows."

"After all, compared to swords, bows and crossbows are more suitable for ordinary people, especially crossbows" Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian, and the smile on his face that gradually became cold became warm again: "I don't know which kind of crossbow Village Chief Jia buys"

"Which one?" Jia Nian looked puzzled, he didn't seem to have a detailed introduction at first.

Zheng Lianzhong smiled at Jia Nian: "Hundred refining crossbows, fifty refining crossbows, ordinary crossbows"

"In addition to these, there is also a difference in quality, 100 refinement perfection, 100 refinement excellence, 50 refinement perfection, fifty refinement excellence, ordinary perfection, ordinary excellence. Each type of crossbow has a different forging method, and its price and power are also different. The same forging technique, different quality, different price and power," Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian smacked his tongue, he didn't expect that there were so many doorways: "What is the price of each?"

"The cheapest ordinary crossbow is 2000 money, followed by 4000 money for an ordinary crossbow of excellent quality, and 5000 money for a normal crossbow of perfect quality. Fifty refining crossbows of ordinary quality are 6,000 gold, excellent quality fifty refining crossbows are 8,000 yuan, and perfect quality fifty refining crossbows are 10,000 yuan. 15,000 ordinary quality hundred refining crossbows, 17,000 yuan for excellent quality hundred refining crossbows, and 20,000 yuan for perfect quality hundred refining crossbows" Zheng Lianzhong said endlessly to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian quickly calculated in his heart that he still had 91 taels in his hand, and after deducting the registration fee of 20 taels, there were 71 taels left. That is to say, you can buy an ordinary crossbow at a high price, an ordinary crossbow of excellent quality. A total of 60 taels, and 11 taels remain.

But what is quality? As soon as I thought of this, I thought of the weapon that I had hidden outside the city. The reason why it is hidden outside the city is because of trouble, and the water thief big knife without a scabbard may not be brought to the city, and something bad may happen if it is brought to the city.

"An ordinary quality crossbow and an excellent quality ordinary crossbow," Jia Nian said to Zheng Lianzhong.

Zheng Lianzhong nodded with a little satisfaction: "Plus the registration fee, a total of 8,000 yuan, that is, 80 taels"

"Does Village Chief Jia need crossbow arrows? A 9 money" Zheng Lianzhong asked Jia Nian enthusiastically.

Jia Nian thought quickly: "Twenty for one person, a total of 40"

"360 money" Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian, paused a little and slowly spoke: "Plus the cost of registration and crossbow, a total of 83 taels and 60 yuan"

"The county lieutenant will waive 60 yuan for you, what does Village Chief Jia think?" Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian was overjoyed: "Thank you County Lieutenant Zheng"

Seeing Jia Nian's happy appearance, Zheng Lian Zheng smiled at him.

Footsteps came, and the soldier walked quickly with the roster: "My lord"

"En" Zheng Lianzhong responded, stretched out his hand and took the roster.

Seeing this, Jia Nian hurriedly took out 83 taels and handed them to Zheng Lianzhong.

Looking at the silver handed over, Zheng Lianzhong took it, picked up the pen and wrote the names of Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze on the roster.

"You lost 83 taels"

Zheng Lianzhong looked at Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze, and said to them: "You and the county lieutenant go to the barracks and go through some formalities."

"Nuo" Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze forcibly suppressed their excitement, said to Zheng Lianzhong, and then took a step to follow.

Jia Nian looked at their backs, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and when they came out, the strength of Changhe Village would increase by a large margin. The plan to exterminate the water thieves can also be started.

Input and output are always relative, at least in Jia Nian's heart, this is how they are understood.

Otherwise, he would not be frugal and desperate. Although there were only four soldiers on hand, it was a great start anyway.
