31 Am I an arms dealer?
I don't blame Xiong Wuliang for being ruthless.
After all, this is a one-shot deal, and you don't have to think about repeat customers-
As long as the principle is clarified, the process of the repeater is not complicated, and it can be imitated. In other words, Prince Mi Heng could even just buy a hand-held repeater and pirate it himself.
After making this order, don't think about making any more money on the repeater in the future.
Prince Miheng pondered for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Okay! Just 5,000 gold! ”
He also knew that his younger brother was a lion's mouth.
But if you can keep Yingdu safe, it's worth it!
Six thousand crossbows can raise the level of Yingdu's city defense by several steps, as long as the arrows are not exhausted, no matter how many enemy troops there are, they will not want to break the city head-on.
After the Battle of Qin, Chu and Danyang, Hanzhong was lost, and the royal city of Chu was almost exposed to the Qin army's troops - although Xiong Wuliang swore that the Qin people would not make a move against Chu in a short time, Chu still felt a chill in his chest.
Huang Xie saw that Mi Heng had already made up his mind, and he couldn't say anything anymore, so he snorted and said depressedly: "Okay, it's time to help the poor." ”
Xiong Wuliang grinned at Huang Xie.
Although this guy often speaks out and seems to be very hostile to himself, Xiong Wuliang really doesn't bother him much.
After all, this is Chun Shenjun, the most powerful person in the future Chu State.
Now I can see that this guy has to be bitten by a dog every time he comes to his house, and then he looks like he can't get used to himself and can't kill himself......
Actually, it's very cool, okay!
Besides, selling the crossbow to Yingdu can be regarded as a rainy day.
In real history, it won't take many years for Yingdu to be beaten down by the ruthless man Bai Qi, and even the tombs of the previous kings were dug and burned by that guy.
In this life, Xiong Wuliang is also the bloodline of the Great Chu royal family, and this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen again!
……
The prince stayed for a few more days, and then left with six thousand crossbows satisfied, and soon a cart of money and grain was transported from Yingdu.
Xiong Wuliang didn't care about any aristocratic prestige, and took three or five personal soldiers to guard the intersection every day, smiling at every big car from Yingdu.
It's all real money!
This money will not only expand the Quyang army, but also quickly invest in various fields in Quyang County, for example, Quyang County's foreign trade business is getting bigger and bigger, Xiong Wuliang has long wanted to invest heavily to build a square city.
Now it's time to break ground!
In addition, the daily flow of people in Quyang City is getting bigger and bigger, and the expansion of the city is also on paper, as well as a series of supporting facilities that can continue to generate income, such as hotels, post stations, and wine shops, are waiting for money.
This 5,000 gold is a shot in the arm!
Quyang County has developed rapidly, and the factory has expanded rapidly. Industrial products such as arrows, ceramics, cloth, glass, and brocade attracted a large number of merchants, and even Hu merchants who traveled thousands of miles from the northland grasslands. The bustling Quyang is already a new commercial town in the eastern part of the Chu State.
……
"Childe, there is a man named Shaohu who asks to see you." Xiaoyi walked into the study to report.
Recently, Xiong Wuliang fell in love with reading. Xiong Wei left a large number of books at the beginning, Xiong Wuliang picked it up and read it when he had nothing to do, but he also learned more and more about the world.
At the very least, the topographic map of the mountains and rivers in Chuyue that Xiong Wei personally marked back then also benefited Xiong Wuliang a lot.
The only thing that is irritating is that there is no punctuation in these scripts...... It's very strenuous to read.
Fortunately, Xiong Wuliang is not difficult - Xiaoyi has become the secretary of the study of Gongzi Miliang, carrying a bamboo pen every day, and is responsible for separating sentences with punctuation marks for Gongzi Xiong...... Eyes are spent!
"Peony Tiger?" Xiong Wuliang put down the bamboo slip and raised his head: "Let him in." ”
Since the battle of Hulukou, Shaohu's battlefield persuasion has had a great effect, and it can be regarded as making up for it.
Xiong Wuliang did not let this Vietnamese man go back to the processing plant to continue the 'labor reform'...... Let's just assume that his sentence has been commuted and he has been released after completing his sentence.
Xiong Wuliang was not surprised that Shaohu came to the door!
This reckless man of the Yue country, who can win the trust of so many Vietnamese soldiers, must be a talent who leads the troops. The matter of raising troops to attack Vietnam is getting closer and closer, and Shaohu, who is familiar with the terrain, is now the talent that Xiong Wuliang most wants to use as his arm.
Xiong Wuliang left Shaohu in the house and ignored it, on the surface, he seemed to have forgotten about this guy these days, but in fact, he had been waiting for Shaohu to take the initiative to come to the door.
Shaohu walked into the study, knelt on the ground honestly, and kowtowed to Xiong Wuliang: "Shaohu greets the prince." ”
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand: "Sit!" ”
"In the battle of Hulukou, General Shaohu persuaded the Yue people to surrender on the battle array, which can be described as a great contribution. It's a pity that Benjun was busy with official business some time ago, and he actually forgot to give the reward. ”
"General Shaohu, what reward do you want?" Xiong Wuliang said with a smile.
Shaohu was an upright man, and he knocked his head twice on the ground: "I don't want any reward below." ”
"The prince didn't care about his previous suspicions, not only did he not kill a certain person, but he also made people treat the injuries of the peony tiger, and there was a great grace to recreate! Peony Tiger is impressed! ”
"I am willing to serve the prince and serve the lord!"
Shaohu thought about it clearly - anyway, Yue Guo is in a mess now, and he can't go back. Come to think of it, since you can only be a general, then just do it under Xiong Wuliang! After all, this Xiong Wuliang did not treat himself harshly after capturing himself.
Xiong Wuliang was overjoyed when he heard this.
This Shaohu is an honest man, the kind that says something - look at the thick chest hair on his chest, you know that this guy is a straightforward reckless man.
Among the 150,000 troops of the Yue Kingdom, this guy was appreciated by the King of Yue Wujiang and served as a general, which must be quite capable of commanding troops.
I didn't expect that my original Huairou would actually have such a tiger general!
The prince of Mi Liang stood up and personally helped the peony tiger up: "Very good! I have to be a tiger general, like a tiger with wings! ”
Shaohu surrendered and said, "I am willing to serve the Lord!" ”
Xiong Wuliang laughed twice: "In that case, I'll give you a task!" ”
"Please make it clear." Peony Tiger's spirit was greatly lifted.
Xiong Wuliang smiled slightly: "I want you to reorganize the Shaohu pirates, select five hundred elite soldiers, and train them strictly, for the Shaohu Army!" ”
In the battle of Hulukou, the Shaohu thieves were seriously killed and wounded under the cover of the crossbow, but there were seven or eight hundred people who survived the battle.
These are all sturdy men, and Xiong Wuliang doesn't know what to do with them for a while.
All of them are sent to the processing plant for labor reform, and they are afraid of getting out of control.
It's a pity to let them go farming - these people who have survived years of bandit life are the toughest soldiers if they are provided with good weapons and armor.
Simply formed another army, called the 'Shaohu Army'!
After all, the more you are about to attack, the more soldiers you have, the better.
This Shaohu Army, Xiong Wuliang plans to train carefully, and when the time comes, let Zhong Hua train with the treatment of training the 'Quyang Army', and strive to build a fierce force.
Shaohu was startled, and said sneeringly-
