After Ning Laosi told Ning Pengpeng about the casualties of the guards, he told his mother about the firearms he had asked about from John.

When Ning Pengpeng heard the word firearm, her eyes widened suddenly.

Unexpectedly, that distant country actually had the existence of firearms at this time.

However, according to the fourth child's description, the firearm in John's hand is probably a bit like the kind of firearm that ignites the string.

Although this firearm is powerful, it is also prone to exploding.

Moreover, the speed of ignition is also slow, only one shot at a time.

If you really want to fight on the battlefield, I'm afraid that before anyone can light the fire rope, someone will cut the knife on the neck.

Ning Pengpeng thought about it, calmed down, and told Ning Laosi what he thought.

On the way back to Ning Laosi, he naturally thought about the shortcomings of the firearm that his mother said.

He nodded, and replied approvingly.

"Indeed, as Mother said, this firearm, if it can be improved, must be a sharp weapon.

If it is like John's hand, it is difficult to be of great use unless it is to attack him unprepared. ”

"Actually, there's another way, and that's to get a few firearms teams.

One team attacked, one team prepared, one team changed firearms.

In this way, the disadvantages of taking too long can be masked. ”

Although it is true that firearms are not so useful nowadays, if you use a little strategy, you can make the most of this firearm.

Hearing his mother's words, Ning Laosi's eyes lit up suddenly.

Then he stood up and took a spin in the living room.

"Mother, you're doing a great job.

Before this firearms improvement, we have to train a few firearms teams. ”

With such a firearms team, I believe that it can block a hundred.

"You'd better figure out a way to get your hands on the firearms first!"

Ning Pengpeng was not as excited as Ning Laosi, and directly poured a basin of cold water on him.

After all, according to what John said when he told the fourth child, it can be guessed that it took a lot of effort for John's locals to get this firearm.

If a foreigner like Ning Laosi wants to buy this kind of firearm, he still buys it in large quantities, and I am afraid it will be even more difficult.

Moreover, even if a large number of firearms were obtained, if the Ning family privately formed this firearms team and was known by the imperial court, I am afraid that they would be suspicious.

Hearing what his mother said about his worries, Ning Laosi thought about it.

"It's better to train on Huludao.

Anyway, this firearms team, we don't need it unless we have to. ”

As soon as Ning Laosi said this, Ning Pengpeng's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, they still have an island overseas!

"It's better to let people pass by those towns next time and see if there are any young and helpless beggars.

If they want, send them to Huludao to train well. ”

Ning Laosi thought about the dead guards this time, and after thinking about it, he said to his mother.

Ning Pengpeng listened and was stunned for a moment.

"A helpless beggar?"

"Yes, Mother.

These helpless beggars, starving and freezing, may not see the sun the next day.

It's better for us to give them a bite to eat so that they can have a chance to live.

When you reach the age of age, you can become the most loyal guard of our family. ”

Ning Pengpeng was silent for a moment, she knew that what the fourth child said was right, but she was still a little sad in her heart.

"I only hope that under the leadership of Emperor Tianxi, the Great Jin Dynasty will be able to clear the Haiyan River."

Hearing his mother's words, Ning Laosi did not refute.

Although what his mother said was right, in Ning Laosi's heart, he felt that the Great Jin Dynasty was so big.

No matter how good Emperor Tianxi is, he can't control all the dark corners.

What's more, now that there is the power of the clan in the court, Emperor Tianxi is also struggling.

When Emperor Tianxi can really sit on the dragon chair and control the world, it is estimated that it will take no longer than it will take.

Although Ning Pengpeng sighed, he didn't say anything against Ning Laosi's decision.

After all, as the fourth child said.

Taking those beggars to Huludao can be regarded as giving them a way to live.

It's just that she ordered Ning Laosi.

When these children grow up, if they just want to live an ordinary life, then they will not be forced to be the guards of the Ning family.

Ning Laosi thought for a moment and agreed.

As long as the conditions given by the Ning family are sufficient, he doesn't believe that these children who have been raised since childhood will leave the Ning family.

After about ten days, after the carriage escorting the coffin arrived at Nanyue Fucheng, Ning Laosi got busy.

When the matter was over, all the goods that had been shipped before were loaded onto the ship.

This time, Ning Laosi only took John away,

He left a task for Ning Mian'er, asking her to send the beggars brought back from below to Huludao.

On Huludao, under the leadership of Ning Laoer, hundreds of acres of fields have been opened.

There are also a lot of crops planted in the field, and because the land is fertile, it can be seen that the yield will not be less.

In addition to these crops, there are also more and more pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks.

The people below never thought that they would have a day when they couldn't finish eating.

Especially those chickens and ducks, there are so many eggs laid every day, even if you pick up the eggs that can hatch chicks, the remaining eggs are not a small number.

Even if they eat every day, they won't be able to eat so much!

Fortunately, when Ning Lao Er came to Huludao, Ning Pengpeng gave him a recipe on how to refine sea salt.

With this recipe, make a small salt pan on the beach of Huludao.

The refined salt, in addition to serving the big guys, is used to marinate these eggs and fish and shrimp caught in the sea.

When Ning Mian'er took a group of small people to Huludao, Ning Lao Er directly took her daughter's hand and told her what she thought.

"Dad, do you want to cultivate pearls here in Huludao as well?"

Ning Mian'er's eyes widened, she didn't expect her father to have this business mind.

Ning Lao Er touched the back of his head a little shyly, and replied embarrassedly.

"I also unintentionally thought that since our family can cultivate pearls in Nanyue Province, there is no reason why such a large island here cannot be raised.

Of course, the most important thing is that the pearls cultivated here do not have to pay taxes. ”

This is the conclusion that Ning Lao Er came to after cultivating fields and planting crops in Huludao.

If there is no tax, it is equivalent to the output of the field, which is all their own, which saves a lot of silver!

Ning Mian'er thought about it, then nodded and agreed.

"Dad, I'll tell my grandmother about this.

However, the children I brought with me this time will be placed on the other side of the island.

There will be special people there who will take care of their daily life and other affairs.

As for eating and drinking, there will be people who will come to your side.

All you have to do is arrange what the people who are coming to do the docking will need, and that's it. ”

Regarding the matter of taking these helpless beggars as guards, Ning Mian'er didn't want Ning Lao Er to know.

Ask for a monthly pass, what's the deal!
