"You either give me hardware, or you don't give me any gold" Zhao Ergou raised his voice: "So you need to think clearly, after all, we are honest white sail thieves"

"Don't give a single gold?" Guo Dapang asked Zhao Ergou suspiciously.

Zhao Ergou nodded at Guo Dapang: "In other words, this transaction is canceled"

"Don't" Guo Da Fat was in a hurry, if he canceled this transaction, then he would not run for nothing today. Besides, if you can cancel this time, what about next time or next time?

Changhe Village is inseparable from its population if it wants to develop, so this line of buying population cannot be broken.

Zhao Ergou smiled proudly: "Of course, we won't take advantage of you, I can promise you on behalf of Shuizhai on the conditions just now, and try to arrange all of them to be fellow villagers."

The breathing of the "village chief" Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze became rapid, and they shouted at Jia Nian.

Jia Nian gritted his teeth fiercely, although the number of people exceeded the limit of bearing, but after all, he had a huge amount of money in his hand and could always digest them: "Big fat pay"

"What" Guo Dapang still wanted to bargain, but when he saw Jia Nian speaking, he could only take out the hardware and hand it to Zhao Ergou.

The smile on Zhao Ergou's face became a little thicker: "There are more people, after you go back, we will send troops to escort you over in person."

"If the village chief is afraid that they will escape, you can also buy the intimate services of this water village, such as hiring an elite water thief with a number of twenty to be stationed for a period of time," Zhao Ergou sold to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian, Guo Dapang and others were stunned for a moment: "You still do this kind of business?" ”

"Hey, the world is difficult, the big boss said. We want to be flexible in Shuizhai, as long as we make money, we can try it" Zhao Ergou let out a sigh deliberately.

Guo Dapang asked without thinking: "How much does it cost to hire a team of twenty elites?" ”

"At present, we do not provide third-order and above-order water thief elites," Zhao Ergou replied to Jia Nian.

After thinking for a while, he continued to say to Jia Nian: "According to the different strength and the different duration, the price is different."

"And the employer also needs to provide free room and board, medical expenses, disability expenses, and war death pensions," Zhao Ergou said here and paused slightly: "Of course, in line with the principle of valuing life, before hiring." There is also a need to provide specific purposes for employment, such as preventing refugees from fleeing"

"There are some tasks that we don't accept, such as exterminating other water thief forces, and other similar tasks," Zhao Ergou explained endlessly.

Guo Dapang listened and quickly analyzed: "In other words, you only provide tasks such as taking care of homes and nursing homes"

"It's not just about taking care of the home, but also escorting tasks, such as escorting the goods through Chaohu Lake safely," Zhao Ergou corrected Guo Dapang.

Then he said the price to them: "Roughly the price is arranged like this, hire a first-order water thief elite, 1 gold a month." Hire a second-order water thief elite, 2 gold a month"

"You can calculate the specific cost," Zhao Ergou explained to Jia Nian.

Hearing Zhao Ergou speak, a word and pit flashed in Jia Nian's mind.

It's not just a pit, it's a huge pit.

Guo Dapang thought so.

Looking at Jia Nian, who was silent, Zhao Ergou suddenly became interested. Thinking that he was thinking about employment, he looked at the 27 gold in the small wooden box: "I can be the master, arrange 30 first-order water thieves for you, guard them for a month, and only charge you 27 gold"

"No need" Guo Dapang hurriedly refused, what are you kidding, 30 water thieves are so expensive.

Looking at their broad bodies and round waists, let alone employment, even if it is three meals a day. I guess I can't afford it.

No, it should be that Changhe Village can't afford it.

"In terms of price, we can continue to negotiate. As long as the food is better and the welfare is better, you can talk slowly," Zhao Ergou said to Jia Nian and Guo Dapang.

Jia Nian coughed lightly and interrupted what Zhao Ergou was about to say: "Thank you for your concern for my Changhe Village, we can handle these things"

"Are you sure? You must know that sometimes these refugees are very dishonest" Zhao Ergou replied unhappily, but his eyes fell on the small wooden box again, and his face gradually eased: "Or the village chief Jia is thinking about it"

"The service in Guizhai is very good, we don't need it for the time being," Jia Nian politely refused.

Sun Deqiu couldn't help but say to Zhao Ergou: "As long as you are willing to arrange our fellow villagers to Changhe Village, we are confident to convince them."

"It seems that Village Chief Jia has already made arrangements, and I have done it too much" Zhao Ergou's face was a little unbearable.

Guo Dapang took the opportunity to look at Jia Nian secretly.

Looking at Guo Dapang's hint, Jia Nian deliberately sighed at Zhao Ergou: "Registering the militia and buying weapons are too expensive, which makes the village chief very sad."

"Militia? Weapons? Zhao Ergou didn't react, but subconsciously repeated.

Jia Nian sighed again and accentuated his tone: "It's sad, it's a headache to think about these things."

"The Zheng family of Chaoxian County eats people and doesn't spit out bones, their asking price must be very high" Jia Nian's words resonated with Zhao Ergou.

Jia Nian and Guo Dapang were stunned: "Zheng? ”

"Yes, Zheng's" Zhao Ergou replied to Jia Nian without thinking.

Jia Nian and Guo Dapang glanced at each other, and then remembered that the previous textbooks said that the strength of the family was very great. Immediately afterwards, he thought of the county lieutenant Zheng Lianzhong, and showed a look of sudden realization.

"The price is high, is it the price raised by the Zheng family?" Jia Nian asked Zhao Ergou.

Zhao Ergou nodded at Jia Nian: "In Chao County, except for our Baifan Water Village, only the Zheng family owns a blacksmith shop."

"The weapons you bought in Chao County were all produced by the Zheng family," Zhao Ergou said to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian's heart moved, and he blurted out to Zhao Ergou: "Do you have weapons for sale here?" ”

"Not for sale" Zhao Ergou shook his head without thinking: "One of the most important reasons why we need a lot of money is to buy iron ore to build weapons and armor. I don't have enough for myself, how can I take it out and sell it"

"But your question reminded me," Zhao Ergou said slowly.

Turning to look at a water thief: "Go to my room and bring some things"

"Yes" The water thief bowed to Zhao Ergou and turned around and walked towards the water thief.

Looking at the back of the water thief, Jia Nian and the others all showed puzzled eyes.

Zhao Ergou smiled proudly: "Are you interested in building weapons and armor by yourself?" ”

"Can we?" Jia Nian asked Zhao Ergou.

Zhao Ergou nodded: "Others can't, but Village Chief Jia can."

"Why are the clans able to legitimately craft weapons and armor and recruit private soldiers? It's not because it's allowed. As the head of a village, why can't the head of Jia Village build weapons and armor and establish a military camp belonging to Changhe Village? Zhao Ergou asked rhetorically at Jia Nian.

Listening to Zhao Ergou's words, Jia Nian's heart beat rapidly, and then even his breathing became a little shorter.

The blacksmith shop that belongs to Changhe Village, the military camp that belongs to Changhe Village, is it really okay? .

However, seeing the smile on Zhao Ergou's face, Jia Nian had some confidence, maybe he really made a lot of money this time when he came to Baifan Water Village.
