For no other reason, high returns often mean high risks. Moreover, 500 people defend 5,000 people in a hundred square kilometers of land, and the difficulty can be imagined. Xu Kuang didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Mushroom Ridge was breached.

Wang Xikui was urgently summoned back by Xu Kuang.

Xu Kuang's first words when he saw Wang Xikui were:

"Give you a day to figure out the specific deployment of the other party, and the extra task is to figure out what the purpose of the other side is, and what you want to apply directly to Grandpa Ryan, go ahead.".

Wang Xikui went with someone.

……

Xu Kuang directly found Zhang Dameow, he pointed to the company training outside and asked:

"What do you think of this force?".

Zhang Dameow sighed, he shook his head:

"It's not good, this group of people are weak in training, and I read your battle report, if the ballista doesn't show its power, I'm afraid you will be defeated, Baron Wren will quickly gather thousands of people and kill from the feint West Gate, and then you won't have time to retreat It's two words.".

Xu Kuang sighed, he also knew that what Zhang Dameow said was right.

"So now I need you to form a new army and set an example for the first company, how about it? Have faith? ”。

Zhang Dameow didn't answer, but asked first:

"Where's the equipment? How's the equipment? ”。

Xu Kuang smiled helplessly:

"It's the same as the company, or even a little better than the company."

Zhang Dameow immediately had confidence.

Not only Zhang Dameow, Xu Kuang is also very confident, after all, Zhang Dameow's training is a special level, Xu Kuang doesn't know which level is the highest level, but the special level training is absolutely enough at the moment.

And Zhang Dameow's command at the battalion level also means that Xu Kuang can have an armed force of thousands of people in a short period of time, it is not that he didn't want to recruit so many people before, but he couldn't command so many people smoothly at all.

After all, it is really a bit ...... to let a person who is engaged in scientific research go to train the army

Xu Kuang's brows furrowed slightly, his fingers tapped the table sharply, and after a while, he looked up at Zhang Dameow:

"You pick someone yourself, as for what you want to choose, it's up to you, I'll let Grandpa Ryan accompany you, and you can discuss and determine all the expenses, and finally report it to me."

When Zhang Dameow heard this, his hanging heart was finally put down, he looked at Xu Kuang, and gave a military salute quite solemnly:

"Sir, don't worry, I will definitely bring out a strong team."

Xu Kuang smiled, but didn't say anything.

After Zhang Dameow left, Jenny walked in.

Jenny held a thick book in her hand. She didn't wait for Xu Kuang to speak, and her tender fingers began to flip through it:

"Let's talk about the population first, today's new population has decreased by ninety percent, I don't know why."

Xu Kuang nodded, the big war is coming, no smart person will run to Mushroom Ridge, the reduction of the new population is inevitable, as long as this victory is achieved, the population can increase several times in a short period of time, this is not a problem.

After Xu Kuang understood this, he motioned for Jenny to continue.

"Then there is spring ploughing, spring ploughing has begun, in the past few days, 22,500 acres of new high-grade fertile land have been added to Mushroom Ridge, 12,000 acres of newly planned forage fields, and 675 acres of inferior land have been planned in the downstream industrial zone."

Hearing this, Xu Kuang nodded with satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth were just about to rise, when Jenny's voice came again:

"Of course, all this is not without a price, an average of eighteen thousand people work every day, and the money and food consumed are also like running water, plus the salary you set by the young master is high, so the daily consumption is also large."

The corners of Xu Kuang's mouth froze halfway, he didn't laugh, he didn't laugh, he didn't laugh, so he had to twitch twice in place and return the same way.

"Just tell me the numbers......".

"Every day, we consume about 900 gold coins just for our salary, as well as the loss of various tools and the purchase of raw materials...... The total amount of zero and zero is close to two thousand gold coins. ”。

Xu Kuang bounced up from the chair violently, and he hurriedly opened his attribute panel, and found that there were only a little more than five thousand gold coins left in the gold coin column.

When he looked at the attribute panel last night, he still had more than 6,000 gold coins, and today there were only 5,000 left.

Xu Kuang took a deep breath and smiled at Jenny:

"It's okay, these are necessary expenses, and things will get better when we generate revenue."

Jenny sighed, she didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with Xu Kuang, she continued to report:

"Then there are the spinning mills and the weaving mills, these two factories have already begun to operate, and they can produce 100,000 catties of fine 21 pieces of linen yarn and 20,000 catties of good 8 cotton yarns per day, and the production capacity of the weaving mill is a little worse, only 2,000 horses of linen and 400 pieces of cotton cloth per day, but now the workers are not skilled, and it is estimated that the production capacity will increase when they become proficient."

When Xu Kuang heard this, he stood up, walked up to Jenny, patted Jenny on the shoulder, and instructed:

"It seems that our director Jenny has done a good job, I think it's time to put some burden on you, and the garment factory should be built, don't forget that I also ordered five hundred sets of military uniforms from you."

Xu Kuang thought of Zhang Dameow's team, and then laughed again:

"But now it's a thousand sets, all of them are good cotton cloth for me, as well as gauze for bandaging wounds, and I have to customize some with you, and I will teach you the specific production method, come on."

Jenny took a deep breath, then nodded heavily.

"By the way, how much is it now? I think you can send a few people out to find a market. ”。

Jenny was speechless:

"I've been looking for it, but I don't know why, the group hasn't come back yet."

Xu Kuang covered his face and sighed.

"They should have been caught."

"Caught?".

Xu Kuang pushed open the window, his eyes seemed to penetrate the layers of mountains, and he saw the dark scene hidden behind the mountains.

……

At the forefront of Tomato Town, which is less than twenty miles away from Mushroom Ridge, a series of camp tents are stationed at this moment, and people with faces like vegetables are going back and forth between the camps, looking quite busy.

The six lords gathered here to discuss the course of action this time.

Wren's face was gloomy, he looked at the other five lords, and said coldly:

"I advise you not to treat Xu Kuang as a child, you must understand that nearly ten days have passed, even if he uses the worst food, ten days will consume more than eight thousand gold coins, but he still has not stopped recruiting homeless people, his family background is thicker than we imagined. And with the homeless, I don't know how many soldiers and horses he has in his hands. ”。

Fran, the lord of Bitter Melon Ridge, laughed:

"Wren, you're really scared out of that kid."

The muscles on Wren's face were trembling, his face was gloomy, he took a deep breath, and said to Fran:

"He only used 200 elite soldiers to break through my territory, what do you think when you see my soldiers and horses?"

Fran's face changed slightly, he understood what Wren meant, Wren meant "If Xu Kuang hit you, would you still stand here and laugh with me?" ”。

Fran just laughed secretly in his heart, "It's a pity that it wasn't me who hit", he thought of this, his heart was secretly refreshed, and he actually laughed:

"It's okay, we were in a defensive battle before, and he was easy to take advantage of loopholes, but now it's our turn to attack, attacking in six directions at the same time, five thousand soldiers and horses, and countless siege equipment of all kinds, I see how he defends!"
