As the saying goes: Take X as a meal before the age of 30, and flee when you see X after the age of 30. What's more, Chen Zuyi is at the age of twenty, when his firepower is strong. It is understandable to indulge in gentle township for a while.

In the first three or five days, Lin Xian and Songhai could understand it, so just help share it. But they couldn't see anyone for ten days in one breath, not only they panicked, but even the soldiers below were restless, and rumors spread. Some say that the gang leader will go crazy immediately, and some say that the gang leader is being plotted by others, anyway, it has a nose and eyes. Even Lin Xian and Song Hai, two capable ministers who claim to be the future, can't be suppressed.

There was no way, everyone unanimously recommended Chen Mancang to go to the backyard of the Juyi Hall to see if the helper was okay.

Chen Mancang came to the backyard slowly, and Hua Hai'er and Chun'er were practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. Everything looks normal, and it's not as good as everyone thinks of the daytime.

"Big brother, here, Zu Yi is in the study." Hua Hai'er saw Chen Mancang coming, and hurriedly greeted him before he could speak.

"Okay, brother and sister, go ahead, I'll take a look." Chen Mancang nodded and replied.

"Oh, by the way, big brother, he's been in the study for five days, I don't know what he's thinking, you can unravel him!" Hua Haier was very helpless, in the first five days of the wedding, Chen Zuyi was indeed like a little tiger, he pounced when he woke up, rested after pounced, and did nothing except eat. Since the sixth day, she suddenly came out of the study, and if she hadn't eaten as usual every day, she would have suspected that someone had escaped.

"Okay, I got it."

Chen Mancang came to the study, Chang Wuji and Liu were standing by the door, and when they saw that it was Chen Manchu, they hurriedly greeted him and opened the door of the study for him.

Chen Zuyi was writing and drawing on the table, when he heard the sound of the door opening, he looked up and saw that it was his cousin, nodded his head, said hello, and lowered his head to write.

"Yizai, I heard from my brother and sister that you haven't been out of the study for five days, is there anything rare? Listen to it with your brothers, and think about it together. ”

"Huh, there's nothing difficult to do, I've been planning for the future these days. What happened today? Chen Zuyi raised his head tiredly, sat on his back on the Taishi chair, stretched his waist, and the bones of his whole body gurgled.

"What's your plan? You can say that listen to me, and never spread it! ”

Chen Zuyi thought for a while, "There are some things that must be explained clearly to you, then call Lin Xian, Song Hai, Meng Chengbi, Hu Sanwa, Li Song, Pei Xin, Datu, and Ha Jia over, lest I have to say it twice!" ”

"Okay, I'll go!" After Chen Mancang finished speaking, he got up and went to invite the others.

Chen Zuyi called Li Yuanliang to listen again, because it was about the outer hall. The other seven came quickly, and they were waiting for news outside the Hall of Righteousness. Before the tea, the nine people sat in Chen Zuyi's study, although Chun'er became the concubine, she was still very diligent, and brought tea with her hands and feet. Everyone didn't dare to hold it up, so they got up again and again to thank them. The nine people didn't care about Li Yuanliang's presence, after all, this was the leader of the gang leader's guards, and it was normal for people to be by the side of the gang leader.

After they all sat down, Chen Zuyi said, "Are the three generals Peixin, Datu, and Hajia still used to being here?" ”

"Back to the temple... Helper, this is a good place! There are not so many intrigues, just follow the exercises, I am more comfortable than Jingshi! Pei Xin looked at Chen Zuyi, he still didn't believe that this was not the eldest prince, he was obviously the same person!

"Well, that's good, as for your family, I can have someone secretly pick it up, but you have to think about it. Because once you take it, you won't be able to show up in the court. If one day I have to go back to the country of Bo Mu, you will have to stay in the Black Shark Gang. ”

"Temple... How long will it take for the gang leader to return to Jingshi? "Pei Xin is worthy of being a general, and the question is to the point.

"It's a year, it's half a year! But I need at least half a year to prepare! Chen Zuyi said very seriously.

"Datu, Haja, what do you think?" Pei Xin didn't directly say his intentions, he asked the other two to make a decision first, so as not to mislead them.

"I don't care, just listen to the general!" Datu said with a smile.

"I won't take it, I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life, it's better to be an official!" Haja expressed his wishes very directly.

"Well, we're not going to take our families home. If the helper returns to Jingshi one day, we can still do something for the helper with our connections and connections! ”

"Well, if any brother wants to take him home, you can report it at any time, and this promise will always be valid!" The question of the families of the Janissaries was thus resolved.

This sentence made the three of them breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they were very grateful to the helper, which was all sincerely considered for them. If things don't work out after a year, it's not too late to pick up the family.

"This time I called you over to say that in this matter, we must expand the existing troops, as little as 10,000, and cap 50,000. Any more, we'll be able to feed! ”

"The lord means to go to the Boni country to fight for the throne?" From the first time Lin Xian saw Ben Kilan, he had speculated about this absurd and tempting idea countless times, but he didn't expect that today's lord himself proposed this plan.

"Not bad! According to Benkiran, the second and fifth princes are currently the most trusted by the king and are the strongest contenders for the throne. He was miserable, but he couldn't change the situation, because he had no soldiers in his hands and no trusted ministers to help him! ”

"Not bad! Because the eldest prince was born as a palace maid, he did not have the support of the family forces behind him, and he was not even given marriage until now! And the second prince and the fifth prince have already married. Pei Xin sighed, he, Datu, and Haja were all marginalized figures in the Praetorian Guard, and there was no way, so he threw himself into the eldest prince's door to make a fool of himself.

"So we have to have our own soldiers, and the more the better. In addition, I also have to activate the normal functions of the outer hall, which takes half a year to a year to prepare, and also requires a lot of money! It may be enough for now. ”

"Lord, how far are we left?" As far as Meng Chengbi knew, when they were still in the brigade, they should have had 2.8 million taels of silver. Later, he took over the Black Shark Gang, and Wu lost 800,000 taels, which should be about 3 million taels. This time, when the Wanli Gang was laid, all the treasures were discounted into about three million taels, and one million taels of silver were rewarded on the spot, and there were about two million taels left. In addition to the cargo on the Benkiran ship recently, after he counted, there were at least three million taels worth of silver. Although it has been handed over to the outer hall to deal with, there will be a process of realization, and the money spent by oneself is not spent all at once! In this way, the lord should have about 11 million taels here, so much silver is enough?

"If it's just an outer hall, it's enough, but the silver taels needed for our Black Shark Gang's daily consumption and expansion are a bit stretched!" Chen Zuyi said helplessly.

"It seems that we are going to train our troops in actual combat, but then the losses will be much greater!" Lin Xian said helplessly.

"Maybe it's not as big as my brother imagined, and we haven't lost too many brothers before. The main thing is that our goal is not so strong! It's rare to meet Pei Xin and they are so decisive! Song Hai hurriedly comforted.

"At present, our Black Shark Gang has about 11 million taels of silver, and the reopening of the Outer Hall will use up 8 million taels, if we add new troops to 50,000, warship weapons and armor, I also plan to buy another batch of horses to build a light cavalry with as little as 5,000 people, preferably 10,000 people, and we still have a gap of 10 million taels of silver!"

"I'll go! Are we so rich? Chen Mancang couldn't help but sigh once, attracting the eyes of everyone except Hu Sanwa and Li Song. The others were all from the military, and their positions were not low, and they knew that the cost of training a 50,000-strong elite soldier was astronomical.

"About 10 million taels, 50,000 elite soldiers have been trained, plus a 10,000-strong light cavalry, only counting silver taels, which is almost enough. I'm afraid that our demand is too great, and the price will be maliciously raised when we buy! It's better for us to recruit a group of craftsmen and build our own armor! Lin Xian calculated all kinds of needs and pros and cons.

"Helper, I have a small man who works as a clerk in the Ministry of Works, and it's easy to get some down-and-out craftsmen!" Pei Xin interjected.

"That's good! You do it right away, but you don't want it! "This is a dozing pillow sent to a pervert to meet a drunk girl!

"Honor, Wechen... Belch... I'll do it, but I don't know how many craftsmen I'll have to hire? Pei Xin is still a little uncomfortable with the change of identity.

"Of course, the more the merrier! One is the blacksmith and the other is the cobbler! Chen Zuyi thought for a while and said: "As long as it is a craftsman, it will be recruited, and if there is a family member, bring it together!" It's all arranged on Swallowing Moon Island, and I will transfer two battalions to guard it! ”

"Well, Pei Xin will be in charge of the craftsmen in the future. The training is still Lin Xian, and the recruitment is carried out by Songhai, he is familiar with the people in the outer hall! He knows the situation everywhere! Datu and Haja cooperated with Songhai to recruit troops. The rest of you will have to figure out how to get the money with me! ”

"Helper, I heard that the Japanese country is rich in gold and silver, or let's ......," Hu Sanwa said.

"Japan? It's a bit far! Meng Chengbi had also heard that Japan was rich in gold and silver, but it seemed that the northern part of Japan was unified by some shogunate, and there were still some unconquered small princes in the south of Japan.

"If we go to Japan, we can only rob the small Zhuhou at the southern tip of the island, and we must not touch the people under the rule of the northern shogunate, otherwise it will be dangerous!" Meng Chengbi has obtained the information, and he can only give so many suggestions. In fact, he didn't know that the opponent of Chen Zuyi's first robbery was the goods of the Spo family, one of the three giants under the Muromachi Shogunate (also known as the Ashikaga Shogunate).

Chen Zuyi thought of that robbery, but it had been so long, except for a group of old brothers who knew about it, everyone else had died, and he was not afraid of being found by the Sibo family and the Komatsu family, "Well, I'll let the outer hall investigate and then decide how to act!" Lao Sang, let's start recruiting tomorrow! ”

"Okay boss, as long as it meets our standards, I'll bring back as many as I want!" Song Hai patted his chest and assured.

"Okay, let's disperse, I'll go out and see which bastard says I'm going to have a good time!" Chen Zuyi heard Li Yuanliang mention this matter two days ago, and he was thinking about calculating various expenses, so he didn't pay attention to it.

"Hahaha......" Everyone couldn't help laughing out loud when they heard it, looking at the helper's anxious eyes, why were they so comfortable!
