Shen Mufeng looked up and listened quietly for a while, but to Shen Mufeng's disappointment, all he heard was the heavy breathing of these blacksmiths. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, what Shen Mufeng was worried about was that the other dead soldiers suddenly came out, three hundred and fifty dead soldiers, if they rushed over in a swarm, even if they had the Flame War Knife and the Speed Ring, it would be impossible to be unscathed.

However, it is obvious that Shen Mufeng's worries are a little redundant, the movement of the fight just now is not small, and there is still no one appearing, it is obvious that those dead soldiers are not in the cave.

After a full stick of incense, no one still appeared, Shen Mufeng breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little disappointed.

As if thinking of something, Shen Mufeng came to hundreds of blacksmiths, looking at these people, Shen Mufeng sighed, these were skinny, their faces were numb, especially their pale faces, obviously they didn't know how long they had been in this cave.

And these people looked at Shen Mufeng, some were dazed, some were puzzled, and some were full of expectation, but none of them spoke, it was obvious that they were afraid, afraid that this person who had just killed the Quartet was not here to save them.

Shen Mufeng coughed lightly: "Don't worry, I'm here to save you, are there only these few guards here?"

Everyone was excited when they heard this, and some people even began to cry, and one of the slightly stronger men was still sober, wiped his tears and said excitedly: "You, are you really here to save us?"

Shen Mufeng was speechless, he didn't see that Lao Tzu had just killed so many people! He actually asked, but he still said patiently: "I'm here to save you, tell me, are there any other guards here?"

The big man breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "No, there are only fifty people in black here, and there will be a new batch of people in about a month!"

"Then are there any other exits here?"

"Yes, when we were captured, we all came in from this cave, and those men in black also entered and exited from this cave, and only when carrying iron and stone would they go to the place where you appeared!" Dahan said and pointed to another cave.

Shen Mufeng thought for a while and asked, "What is the situation outside the cave?"

"Outside is Wanglong Mountain, go down the mountain, go around the north mountain, walk five or six miles, and you can enter the county seat. ”

Shen Mufeng nodded, cut off the shackles of these people with the Flame War Knife, and then looked at everyone and said: "Everyone is suffering, everyone go to the county town to find the soldiers who patrol the night directly, show this token to the soldiers, and let them take you to eat and rest, if there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow!"

Hearing the soldiers, everyone suddenly showed a look of panic, Shen Mufeng understood what they were worried about, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, it's the soldiers of the state capital, Lanling County has now been taken over by the state capital, just today, the people have already shared the grain, and the future Lanling County will not be like before, as long as the people are willing to work, they will have food and clothing, and their lives will get better and better!"

Everyone was a little skeptical, but now was not the time to say this, but the big man who took the token knew in his heart that this person could easily kill so many people in black and save himself and others, so there was no need to fool them.

After Shen Mufeng sent these people out, he returned to the cave again, Shen Mufeng understood that there were not only weapons made by Xia Youde privately, but also the wealth accumulated by Xia Youde in thirty or forty years.

And don't underestimate these blades, a blacksmith can make at most one weapon a day, and it is also an ordinary weapon, because of the limitations of Daxia's own iron-smelting technology, there are very few iron-making workshops, and most of the iron is purchased from Tianque Fort at a high price, which leads to a great increase in the cost of weapons.

If you get tens of thousands of weapons out of thin air, not to mention the price, it will also save a lot of time, this is not like the manufacture of grenades, lathe processing, hundreds of thousands can be made a day, and grenades are made of pig iron, so Shen Mufeng is not worried about grenades, but about the replenishment of weapons.

And right now, there may be tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of weapons, how could Shen Mufeng not be tempted, and it is very likely that there will be a large amount of silver money in the account.

Shen Mufeng entered the cave with a torch, and when he saw the weapons in the cave, he nodded with satisfaction.

Looking at this posture, let alone 10,000 weapons, even 60,000 or 70,000 pieces, but this Xia Youde does have some ability, and he actually made so many blades privately, if he wants not to be noticed by the imperial court, just the source and transportation of iron and stone is a big problem!

Shen Mufeng secretly sighed, robbery is really the most promising profession, his eyes swept, and suddenly found that there were more than a dozen large boxes next to him, Shen Mufeng opened them one by one, there were thirteen boxes containing silver ingots with white flowers, and in one box were all small yellow croaker, one pound each.

Touching the little yellow croaker, Shen Mufeng smiled: "It's a small harvest!"

In fact, Shen Mufeng was still a little disappointed in his heart, looking at the situation of the people in Lanling County, if he could collect millions of taels of silver, Shen Mufeng believed it.

And these, counting the gold bars, are at best more than 300,000 taels of silver, but seeing these weapons that have been built, Shen Mufeng is relieved, if you count the daily use of the palace, it is not surprising that there are hundreds of thousands of taels left.

Shen Mufeng put the gold in his backpack, there were 18,900 taels, as for the silver, he didn't move, the daily consumption of the army was a lot of expenses, and Shen Mufeng planned to establish the Southwest Military Region to standardize the ratio of military strength in the three states and three counties.

These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver seem to be a lot, but it is really a drop in the bucket, but fortunately, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, with such a thought, Shen Mufeng returned to the palace treasury.

Half an hour later, a group of blacksmiths returned to Lanling County, and were immediately stopped by the soldiers patrolling the night, and the leading man handed the token to the squad leader who patrolled the night, and the squad leader saw that it was the commander's token, and was stunned: "Who are you? How can there be a token of our military commander!"

The leaders were also stunned, they didn't understand what the military commander represented, and they didn't know that the person who saved them was the biggest official in the three states.

At this time, Shen Mufeng's voice came from afar: "Arrange meals and accommodation for them, treat them well, I have a lot of use for these people!"

A group of soldiers was slightly stunned, subconsciously looked at it, and when they saw that it was the army commander, they suddenly stood up straight, and the squad leader said yes, Shen Mufeng took the token and put it in his arms, and then looked at the leading man: "What's your name?"

"My lord, the little one's name is Li Mingwu, and he is a blacksmith, I don't know what the adults command?"

After speaking, he looked at Shen Mufeng expectantly, obviously he had understood that this person could decide their life and death, and the adult had said before that he and others were of great use, but he didn't know what kind of great use it was.

"Okay, Li Mingwu, take these people to live with peace of mind, follow me in the future, do your old job, give you five taels of silver a month, enough food, as long as you work hard, I will not treat you badly!"

By the way, after eating, Li Mingwu, you take my people back to the cave again and count the contents out!"

After Shen Mufeng finished speaking, he looked at the squad leader: "Settle them and notify the third battalion, and let this Li Mingwu brother take the third battalion to seal a cave!"

"Yes, Commander!" (To be continued.) )
