Chapter 136: Difficulties

The establishment of the Chamber of Commerce is related to the fate of the people in the entire city, and Xu Xiaoxiao gathered everyone together for a meeting to discuss.

Chu Qing sat in the middle position, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and he rubbed the wrench on his thumb irritably.

The scene was silent, no one dared to speak first, Liu Dahua and Aunt Li entered the tent with a tea cup and nervously put the tea in front of everyone.

Liu Zhouzi, Liu Mengzhou and others sat behind the round table, several people looked at each other, infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and their faces were also stained with gloom.

"What does it take to establish a chamber of commerce?" Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere and opened her mouth first.

Shopkeeper Zhao bit his lower lip and thought for a while before he spoke, "You need to go to the money, you need connections, because escorting merchants needs a strong dart master, and most of the dart masters' money are from the Chamber of Commerce, and the shopkeeper of the shop is only responsible for handing over a fixed amount of silver taels on a monthly basis." ”

"Now the world is not good, the number of homeless people and bandits is increasing day by day, and the price of the dart master is also rising, and the money received by the Chamber of Commerce is not enough to support the money for the dart master, and most of them are made up by the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce to make up the vacant part." Shopkeeper Huang then picked up the unfinished words of Shopkeeper Zhao.

Xu Xiaoxiao finally understood, "It's easy to talk about money, we can organize the problem of the dart master by ourselves, select soldiers with good martial arts from the prince's army, and then assign them the latest weapons, so that the problem will be solved soon." ”

Everyone looked at Chu Qing in shock and then at Xu Xiaoxiao, everyone was surprised why Xu Xiaoxiao could easily dominate the soldiers in the prince's army, and that soldier was the last shield to protect Xin'an City from being harmed by foreign bandits.

The chambers of commerce were forced to disband because they didn't dare to bother the prince easily.

"I agree with the small argument that this approach works." Chu Qing stopped rubbing, his eyebrows gradually loosened, and he nodded and said.

"But you need at least a team of more than ten people, how can these people be screened?" Shopkeeper Huang still asked uneasily.

"I will arrange this, and it will never affect the safety of the people of Xin'an City." Chu Qing said coldly.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked back at Liu Qiao'er, all her belongings were in Liu Qiao'er's hands, mainly for her to purchase, this time it was related to the safety of Xin'an City, so she could only take out all her belongings to support.

Liu Qiao'er got up and trotted out.

"I'll be responsible for paying the money, and then I'll leave the matter of contacting the shopkeeper in the city to Shopkeeper Zhao and Shopkeeper Huang." Xu Xiaoxiao said earnestly.

At this time, Liu Qiaoer ran into the tent with her baggage, she put it on the table, and then opened it.

"That's enough?" Xu Xiaoxiao said with his burden open.

The people sitting on the round bench looked at the shining gold in the baggage, and were extremely shocked, especially Liu Zhouzi and Liu Mengzhou and others sitting behind them, who had seen so much gold for the first time in their lives.

Shopkeeper Zhao relieved himself and nodded, "That's enough." ”

Xu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, she retied the burden and handed it to Chu Qing, "I will give you the silver taels for escorting the goods in the future in advance, and I will bring the new weapons to the barracks tomorrow." ”

Chu Qing looked at the heavy gold in Xu Xiaoxiao's hand in a daze, and Wang Duo hurriedly stepped forward to take it when he saw this.

The matter of the Chamber of Commerce came to an end for the time being, and Shopkeeper Zhao followed Shopkeeper Huang out to find a shop suitable for the Chamber of Commerce to hold a meeting.

Xu Xiaoxiao pulled Liu Qiao'er to a remote corner, "Let's go in and get some weapons." ”

Liu Qiao'er rubbed her fists and nodded again and again, she hadn't been in for a long time.

With a flash of white light, the two disappeared into a remote corner.

Chu Qing wanted to find Xu Xiaoxiao and inquire about the weapon, followed their footsteps to the corner, and after seeing the two disappear in an instant, his body collapsed and sat on the ground.

He looked frightened, his mouth opened slightly, and he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and after he was indeed dazzled, he ran to the place where the first two disappeared and went in circles.

There's nowhere to hide, so where did they go?

After Xu Xiaoxiao took Liu Qiao'er into the space, the two came to the weapons area.

"What weapons are you going to pick for the soldier to defend himself?" Liu Qiao'er looked at the wide variety of weapons in front of her and said with emotion.

Xu Xiaoxiao picked intently, took a blade from the shelf and looked at it carefully, and said casually, "Take some points to quickly find the enemy." ”

"You don't know what a bandit looks like?" Liu Qiaoer sat casually on the sofa next to her, picked up the snacks on the coffee table and ate them.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and said nothing, she didn't know the weapons in the hands of the bandits, but as far as she knew, it was nothing more than a knife and a sword or a bow and arrow, and Chu Qing couldn't find anyone with people many times, which showed that their anti-reconnaissance ability was very strong.

The most important thing is to be able to quietly snatch food from the hands of well-trained dart masters, and they are certainly not novices, but should be more capable veterans.

The best way to deal with these people is to use weapons to win, and you have to react faster than them to avoid a sneak attack.

"That's all."

Xu Xiaoxiao took the lightest crossbow arrows and blades from the shelves, the crossbow arrows can be carried lightly on the body, and the crossbow arrows also have an alarm system, but whenever someone approaches, it will make a screeching sound.

The blade looks ordinary, but it's actually very sharp, and it can be sharpened like clay, making it the best way to defend yourself.

She also brought some gold silk armor, which was made of a special material that was invulnerable to knives and guns to protect the safety of the soldiers.

Liu Qiaoer took a bag and loaded all the weapons into it, and the two walked out of the space with the bag.

As soon as they came out of the space, they saw Chu Qing with his back to them, Xu Xiaoxiao's heart suddenly chuckled, and Liu Qiao'er grabbed her wrist tightly at a loss.

"What should I do?" Liu Qiao'er asked in a panic.

Xu Xiaoxiao handed the bag to Liu Qiao'er and stroked her back, "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”

At this time, Chu Qing happened to turn around, and the three of them looked at each other in embarrassment, and time seemed to stand still.

"Where have you been?" Chu Qing coughed lightly and asked.

Xu Xiaoxiao squeezed out a stiff smile and explained, "I'll go get the hidden weapon." ”

She took the bag in Liu Qiaoer's hand to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing looked at it, pursed his lower lip, and stopped talking, he wanted to ask the doubts in his heart several times, but he couldn't ask the words when he came to his mouth.

Xu Xiaoxiao saw Chu Qing's embarrassment, she took out the crossbow arrow from the bag, and with a slight wave, the originally folded crossbow arrow bounced away instantly.

The whole body of the crossbow arrow is black, and even the arrow is black, coupled with the peculiar shape, it suddenly attracted Chu Qing's attention.

Chu Qing took the crossbow arrow and took it in his hand, "It's so light." ”

He put the crossbow arrow in the palm of his hand and gently checked it, and then quickly turned it to hold the crossbow arrow in the palm of his hand, as if he had received a new toy, his expression was joyful, and he couldn't put it down.

Xu Xiaoxiao saw that the weapon could attract Chu Qing's attention, and she hurriedly took out the short blade from the belt bag.

Chu Qing made an archery posture and was overjoyed, "This arrow is completely effortless to come by." ”

"Lord Wang, look at this." Xu Xiaoxiao pulled out the scabbard and held the hilt, then squatted down, she waved her arm, and the stone pier in front of her was instantly cut in half.

Chu Qing squatted down with bright eyes, and took the short blade handed over by Xu Xiaoxiao, "This is the legendary sharpening of iron like clay?" ”

"Yes, and this gold-wire armor, which can be invulnerable." Xu Xiaoxiao took the last weapon that Liu Qiao'er took out of the bag.

Chu Qing curiously took the gold wire armor and gently stroked the gold wire on the light armor.

He suddenly lost interest in where Xu Xiaoxiao took out these strange things, no matter where she took them out, as long as these things could protect the people and protect the lives of the soldiers, even if they were taken out of hell, he would accept them completely.

"Okay, then I'll take these weapons back to the army and start picking the right people."

Chu Qing smiled faintly and took the bag, then brushed his sleeves and left.

Liu Qiao'er collapsed and leaned on Xu Xiaoxiao, next time let her choose a place to enter the space.

Otherwise, if they are seen again, they must be used as monsters in the pig cage.

Xu Xiaoxiao wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and pulled Liu Qiao'er, "Let's go back and eat hot pot." ”

The cold wind exhaled, and the weather gradually began to cool down.

The villagers have also changed from a piece of clothing to a number of vests and cotton jackets, and Liujia Village is still lively at night.

Everyone gathered around a few tables, trying Xu Xiaoxiao's newly developed hot pot, which was tailor-made for the tavern.

The hot pot base is all boiled in butter, and there are three options: spicy, slightly spicy, and not spicy.

Shopkeeper Zhao and Shopkeeper Huang ate hot pot for the first time, and they swallowed their saliva as they looked at the dishes on the table.

They looked curiously at the table in front of them, the middle of which was empty, and below it was a stove, white smoke filled with white smoke, and a pungent fragrance wafted out of the hot pot.
