"Ding ding, the host arsenal is not well stocked, please replenish the reserves so as not to affect the deployment of arms." Zhu Ciyi's ears sounded the prompt sound of the system elf.

"Damn, I thought I had an arsenal, so I could call it casually, and I need to reserve it myself?" Zhu Cijiao thought to herself.

"Ding Ding, yes, the arsenal and the material depot need to be constantly replenished by the host in order to continuously extract weapons and supplies." The system elf gives a patient explanation.

Zhu Cijiao finally understood that it was reasonable for the system to be set up in this way, there was no such thing as only getting but not paying in the world, and the principle of obtaining money from the warehouse and the bank was the same.

As soon as Zhu Ciyi and the system elf figured out about the arsenal, Ma Jingyi, the owner of the Black Cliff Village, took Zhu Ciyi's hand and asked eagerly:

"Prince, thanks to your help, now that the Black Cliff Village has been recaptured, and so many enemy soldiers have been killed, the enemy army will definitely come to attack and retaliate, what should I do next?"

Zhu Cijiao secretly thought, his arsenal is not a reserve, and the black cliff village produces gunpowder, if it is owned by himself, won't it increase the reserve of the arsenal? Now the owner of the village has a request for me, which can be exchanged as a condition.

"This is easy to do, if the village protection gang can't protect the Black Cliff Village, the prince can find a way to help protect it, it just depends on how the owner of the horse village thinks about it." Zhu Cijiao deliberately said ambiguously.

"Grandpa, let's let the prince send an escort to guard, our strength is too different from the escort team, and we are not the opponent of the enemy army at all." Ma Biao stood up and proposed.

Ma Biao is the most capable person in the family surnamed Ma in Heiya Village, and his grandfather and Ma Jingyi are brothers, so he calls Ma Jingyi his grandfather.

Ma Biao put his mouth close to Ma Jingyi's ear and whispered: "This morning, I saw with my own eyes that their guards killed the enemy army, and more than ten people killed hundreds of enemy soldiers. ”

"According to my Ma Biao's opinion, I hope the prince will send guards to help protect the cottage!" Ma Jingyi listened to Ma Biao's words, chuckled in his heart, and finally adopted Ma Biao's opinion.

"Old Mazhai, it is not a long-term solution for me to send guards to guard the cottage, there is a village guard gang in the mountains, and I can teach the existing village guards into a team that can protect the cottage and never leave." Zhu Cijiao proposed a plan that the other party would prefer to have.

"If the prince can teach his martial arts to the village protection gang of Black Cliff Village, of course it is something that the old man can't ask for." Ma Shouyi's heart was happy all of a sudden.

"The prince wants to pass on kung fu to us, that's great!" Ma Biao was also excited.

"However, the prince has one condition, I invest in the construction of a gunpowder factory in Heiya Village, and the villagers in the village come to my factory to make gunpowder, and the villagers receive three taels of silver per month, and I donate one hundred taels of silver to the village every year, I don't know if the owner of the village agrees?" Zhu Cijiao finally had a showdown with the quid pro quo.

"Grandpa, I can't find a lantern under this condition, promise the prince, there is a prince to produce gunpowder, everyone doesn't have to worry about selling and buying, everyone has a moon penalty, and there is public silver in the village, the key is to have the prince to protect it, and the cottage is peaceful." Ma Biao persuaded Ma Jingyi to say.

"Another key is that if your gunpowder is sold to the enemy, they will use your gunpowder to attack you." Zhu Cijiao added.

"The old man understands, the prince is taking care of our Black Cliff Village, how can I not agree, I agree to cooperate with the prince on behalf of Black Cliff Village." Ma Jingyi smiled so much that the wrinkles on his forehead were stretched.

"No rules, no square circle, this is also a business, in order to cooperate smoothly and win-win for each other, then let's make a note, write an agreement and the like, so that the cooperation will be long-term." Zhu Cijiao proposed.

"Yes, the old man agrees, the old man agrees! Ma Biao quickly brought pen and ink. ”

Ma Jingyi waved his hand at Ma Biao, Ma Biao immediately found pen and ink, Ma Jingyi drew with block letters, and wrote the notes in a righteous manner.

Zhu Cijiao and Ma Jingyi respectively pressed the red seal on the note, and then the two shook hands tightly, indicating that the cooperation had officially begun.

"Ding ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained 1 point for the base score of the huge wealth of the dragon protection system, and the wealth life has set sail from now on." The system elf prompt sounded in Zhu Ciyao's ears again.

Well, could it be that cooperating with Black Cliff Village to develop gunpowder can create wealth? The system has given itself a score. Heck, let's not care about it for now, let's go and find out about the cottage situation first.

"Ma Biao, you accompany me to the cottage for a walk, and I will take a look at the cottage's defense and gunpowder production." Zhu Cijiao said and walked out of the Hall of Loyalty.

Ma Biao took Zhu Cijiao along the edge of the cottage for a circle, the terrace on the cliff where the cottage is located, about five or six hundred acres, in addition to the cottage, there are also some fields, which can be used to grow rice and corn.

Behind the cottage is also a cliff, forming a natural line of defense, in addition to the cliff mouth in front of the village can go down to the foot of the mountain, the villagers also have a path from the back mountain can also go down the mountain.

It is not difficult to defend the Black Cliff Village, as long as you hold the cliff mouth in front of the village and the trail behind the mountain, if you carry out a long-range strike and destroy the enemy at the bottom of the mountain, it will be safer.

Zhu Cijiao saw that the reason why the enemy army captured Heiya Village was to occupy the gunpowder produced by the cottage.

Zhu Cijiao just checked in the back mountain, behind the cottage there are two cross-cutting mountains, one mountain is rich in nitrate, the other mountain is rich in sulfur, and the lower mountain is a primeval forest.

These are the materials used to make gunpowder, these nitrate and sulfur are made into gunpowder, so how much gunpowder can be produced, with gunpowder, can the army be strong!

Zhu Cijiao had a big idea, the terrain of Heiya Village is dangerous, one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open, here first build a gunpowder production base here, for the future construction of the arsenal to lay the foundation.

"Ma Biao, you take me to the place where gunpowder is produced to have a look." Zhu Cijiao walked around the cottage and didn't see the place where gunpowder was produced, so he felt a little strange.

Following Ma Biao to a cave in the back mountain, Zhu Cijiao couldn't believe that this was the place where gunpowder was produced.

A few large iron pots were boiling nitrate, manually mashing sulfur, and then mixing with charcoal, and more than 30 laborers were completely black, not an inch was clean, and there was no safety protection

"Fellow, don't you make gunpowder like this, won't it cause combustion or explosion?" Zhu Cijiao stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, it often happens, 28 people have died in the whole village in the past few years." An old master said calmly while preparing gunpowder, as if he was used to it.

"Stop production now, and when I build the factory and it's safe, I'll produce again." Zhu Cijiao, who came through the time, knew that the equipment for the production of gunpowder was not complicated, and it was not difficult to build a safe gunpowder factory.

"Stop production, what are we going to eat? I have to rely on this to support my family. The old master said helplessly.

"From today onwards, I will give monthly gifts to the masters and workers who produce medicinal fires, and there will be monthly gifts if you don't go to work, don't worry!" Zhu Cijiao pulled the old master up and said.

"Really?" The old master looked at Ma Biao and asked.

"This is today's prince, what he said is true, he and the owner of the village have made a note, don't worry!" Ma Biao nodded and said.

The old master and more than 30 workers stopped what they were doing, and suddenly knelt on the rocks in the cave: "Thank you, prince!" Thank you, prince......" Say a word and knock your head.

"Everyone is flat, hurry up and get out of the cave, whoever doesn't listen to the words of this prince will not send anyone's moon offering." Zhu Cijiao said, and took the workers who were producing gunpowder out of the cave.
