Hearing this, Lao Li didn't ask any more, and ordered his men to drag a thin mule from the caravan and place it one hundred and fifty steps away.

This distance is already beyond the range of the wooden bow used by the ordinary army of the Chu State, but at this moment he is holding an iron embryo bow in his hand, and Lao Li has high hopes.

Taking a deep breath, Lao Li pulled the string full and shot an arrow with a whoosh.

The long arrow burrowed into the belly of the mule in the distance like a meteor, but it did not go away, and it came out directly from the other side of the mule's abdomen, revealing an arrow, which made the mule jump and jump in pain, and screamed.

"Hiss~"

Looking at the arrows lying in the mule's body, Lao Li Chang took a breath of cold air and exclaimed, "This bow, if it shoots from its back, I'm afraid it will shoot two hundred steps away." ”

"And this, the last time I encountered the town guards, the kind of Mitsubishi arrows they used, this kind of power is even more powerful." Han Tian handed the Mitsubishi arrow in his hand to the past.

Lao Li took the Mitsubishi arrow, pulled the bow and arrow again, and shot at the mule that was not dead and jumping, calling non-stop.

Compared to the previous willow leaf arrow, after the Mitsubishi arrow pierced the mule's abdomen, blood gushed out, which was much more harmful than ordinary arrows.

"With such a weapon, why not be afraid of those bandits and horse bandits."

Lao Li sighed while holding the iron embryo bow in his hand, and directly snatched the long knife in Han Tian's hand, and never let go again.

"Buy, this knife and bow, you have to buy it."

Looking at the mule that had fallen due to excessive blood loss in the distance, Han Tian roared in a low voice, his eyes were red.

In this day and age, the bow is definitely a sharp weapon, no matter where it is.

Xu Chuan chose to sell bows, so naturally he couldn't directly export the military weapons that were being used by the town guards.

He took it out to Han Tian, all of them were foreign trade type bows, all of them were cut, and the bow arm of the iron tire bow was directly cut by at least three layers, and the range was much reduced compared to that used by the town guards.

In this way, even if these bows are revealed to the bandits outside, they will not pose a threat to the town guards.

However, even so, the range of the Iron Embryo Bow is much stronger than that of ordinary wooden bows.

"The shopkeeper, if you want to buy it, you have to equip at least a few hundred people, but this knife and bow must not be cheap, right?" Lao Li asked while holding the sword and bow.

"It's not cheap, buy it too!" Han Tian squinted his eyes and said, couldn't help but light another cigarette, and continued.

"Instead of giving money to those bandits and bandits, it is better to use it to buy weapons to arm yourself. It's a pity that this time after passing through the three areas, the caravan has already purchased a large number of goods, and there are not many silver taels, otherwise all the staff are equipped with these knives and bows, and they are not afraid to go all over the world! ”

Hearing this, Lao Li nodded affirmatively, this idea is naturally right.

......

After testing the power of the Tang Dao and the Iron Embryo Bow, the world's trading houses became busy. All the silver taels of gold, including those on the guy's body, were all turned out and borrowed for the time being, but even so, they only made up thirty or forty thousand taels of cash, and these silver taels were far from enough for what Han Tian wanted to buy.

Although there are still some silver tickets in the caravan, Xu Chuan does not recognize the silver tickets for the time being, he only needs real money. But fortunately, he proposed that he could buy goods or mortgage valuables, so Han Tian released the gems, gorgeous blankets, spices and other items he bought from the Western Regions, as long as he wanted them, they were all sold or mortgaged, and finally scraped together nearly 150,000 taels of silver, and bought a large number of cigarettes and a batch of knives and bows, as well as some charcoal that Xu Chuan never expected.

"Young Master Xu, I will come back as soon as possible, and I hope you can leave us more good things like cigarettes."

Before leaving, Han Tian came to the office again, found Xu Chuan and said.

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "What we make is to be sold, but it doesn't necessarily have to be left for anyone, after all, if someone else buys it, I can't push the money out." ”

Hearing this, Han Tian's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Understand, understand, I will come back as soon as possible." ”

.......

The caravan of the world's trading houses set off again, but the team was full of an atmosphere of reluctance.

This inn is really comfortable, except for the high cost of eating and the like, the guy who has been running the business for many years feels that this is paradise, and he has never lived in such a comfortable place.

The caravan set off, and the Sanzhi area calmed down for the time being, and the next wave of large-scale caravans like the Tianxia Commercial Bank didn't know how long it would take to arrive, and Xu Chuan had a headache for other things.

In one transaction, he earned a full 150,000 taels of silver, although many of them were precious mortgages such as precious stones.

But there are also 80,000 taels of cash and silver, which is enough to toss for a while.

Now that he has money in his hand, Xu Chuan can no longer let the residents here work in vain, and some of the things promised before, such as the money for the purchase of tobacco leaves, the wages of factories such as tobacco factories and steel factories, these should be paid.

For Xu Chuan, this is a problem.

What's more, he has to develop more ways to make money, although cigarettes are profitable, but the residents in the Sanzhi area have not planted a large number of them, and what can be purchased has already been harvested.

Although there are still a lot of cigarettes piled up in the warehouse, the raw materials are gone, and it is obvious that these in the warehouse will not last long.

If you want to make more cigarettes, you have to wait for the caravan to arrive, or you have to wait for your own side of the cigarette to be picked again, but it will take time.

found some people who could count smartly, Xu Chuan made up the wages of the workers, and the women and old people who got the first batch of wages were so excited that they cried out and thanked them vigorously, and some even knelt down.

After spending some time and finishing these messy things, Xu Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lying on the chair, Xu Chuan closed his eyes and took a nap.

He finally understood why the life span of the ancient emperor was short, and he felt that he was about to be wasted after only how long he had been busy.

And the ancient emperor definitely had more things to take care of than him, working day and night, plus all kinds of wine, he could live for a long time and come to the ghost.

Xu Chuan thought and rubbed his temples with a little headache.

It's just the beginning, and he can't keep busy with the army, the ironworks, and the cigarette factory.

In the future, there will definitely be more things extended, for example, he thought about making everyone here literate, and wanted to develop commerce, industry, science and technology, and agriculture, and he would be even busier when the time came.

It seems that we have to build a grass team to help, otherwise we won't be able to keep busy at all.

Shaking his head, after taking a nap, Xu Chuan asked the elders of the three areas to be summoned again.
