After finishing the work, I saw that it was almost evening, and I was worried about the training of my mountain and river defense team, so I hurriedly returned to the floating grain store, eager to see the results of Li Shishi's training with everyone.

In order not to attract onlookers during training, Li Shishi led the mountain and river guards through the underground passage leading to the saline-alkali land in the west, and arrived at the saline-alkali land in the west of the village, where basically no one goes, and chose a place as a training ground.

Li Shishi also set up more than ten targets on the ground in a decent manner, and then explained in detail how to use the water beads, and then taught everyone how to raise a gun and aim.

Everyone also began to practice raising guns, aiming, raising guns, aiming......

When I came, I was still practicing the two postures of raising the gun and aiming, and I was impatient, and I felt a little embarrassed, why didn't you shoot in these two movements?

I'm an amateur at this point, but at least I have to get the bullets out, right?

"Li Shishi, why do you always raise your gun and aim, and hit it to see if you are on the right foot?" I finally couldn't help it.

Li Shishi glanced at me, nodded, and then ordered a group to start shooting training at the target.

This is amazing, everyone is extremely excited, every time a group shoots, the people behind them all shout "whooping".

After watching the fifty people beat down, they were basically all crooked, and there was no one, so they were all excitedly "whooping", and then looking at the distance of the target, it was only about 20 meters away, what did you practice all day?

"It's not accurate!"

"Shopkeeper, this is the first shot they fired today, and it takes a lot of practice to shoot, so they didn't shoot accurately......"

"The first shot, after a day of practice, why only one shot has been fired until now, didn't you say that you need to practice?" I wondered.

"We don't have many bullets, and you said that there will be hair, so you don't dare to waste it."

It turned out that this was the case, and then it dawned on me that I remembered that I couldn't only have a gun, and I had to get bullets!

This stumped me, where to get the bullet is really a problem, I glanced at the expectant eyes of the crowd, so I raised my hand and said:

"Keep practicing aiming, I'll figure out how to shoot bullets."

I turned around and entered the tunnel, walked back slowly, and began to ponder the purchase of guns and ammunition, thinking about the situation and prices of the main guns of this era.

During this period, in fact, the number of guns owned by the people was still very high, and in the northeast next to Maozi, wealthy homesteaders and landlords' families basically had guns, and if they had nothing to do, they would shoot hares, foxes or something to open meat, and only tenants could not afford to buy guns.

Folk guns are generally this kind of water bead rifles, some are snatched from Maozi, and even if they are bought, the price is much cheaper than other guns.

The pistol is based on the Mauser 1910, the more advanced machine gun of this period is the Czech light machine gun, that is, the ZB26, the heavy machine gun is mainly the Maxine heavy machine gun, as for the larger field guns and the like, it will not be considered for the time being.

At present, there are more than 50 people in the mountain and river protection team, if the weapons are sufficient, there will definitely be no upper limit to expand the number of recruits, and when I came back just now, Zhao Donglai followed me all the way, saying that other tenants and some yeoman farmers heard that joining the security team can receive five taels of silver a month, and they all asked him to help and say that they also want to join in, so now the personnel are not worried.

Thinking all the way back, there was no one walking in the tunnel here, so it was unusually quiet inside, and every few steps there was a hidden vent that let in the light, so although it was a little dim, it could see clearly.

As I walked, I found that every few steps in the soil on both sides of the tunnel would suddenly pop up to look around, and then retract in, presumably this is Yang Chenglin's formation and paper figures, but this is too secretive, I have to give him some advice when I go back.

Thinking all the way, I unconsciously walked back to the cellar under the backyard of the grain store, and there were several people sitting in the main room of the cellar, and when they saw me coming, they all stood up.

When I saw it, it was a few older landlords and some wealthier yeoman farmers, as if they had something to discuss with me.

When asked, it turned out that they were also going to join the mountain and river protection team, and these people were generally older, all of them were sixty years old, and even one of the old men was coughing while "picking", and stood up with a cane, telling me that he also wanted to join the mountain and river defense team.

I glanced at the twenty or thirty old men in front of me, and laughed secretly in my heart, why, this is to let me take over a bunch of them who can't fight, and they have to be raised like an uncle for five taels of silver a month.

Presumably I heard that this mountain and river guard team will only protect tenants in the future, and homesteaders, landlords, and shopkeepers will get silver if they need to protect, so I came up with such a way to deal with it!

Although they didn't come when they dug the tunnel, I was familiar with them, and there were adult young men in their families, which was obviously afraid that his son would be in danger and wanted to take advantage, so this bunch of useless old men tried in vain to come to me to occupy a place for a vegetarian meal!

If you don't want to pay for it, you can do it, can you come with a few useful ones, is the life of your son worth more than the life of the son of a tenant?

But ah, there is one thing I really admire, I really responded to the sentence that you can earn more when you have no money, and you can earn more if you have no conscience, no wonder in such a bitter era, these people in front of you can be rich!

Do they think I'm embarrassed to refuse because they're old, as long as they show me this old face? How can I be so confident in my character!

While worrying about Maozi, who may arrive in large numbers within a few days, worrying about guns and ammunition, and dealing with these greedy and selfish people, my heart instantly became irritable.

I didn't say a word, sat in my chair and calmed down for five minutes, then suppressed the anger in my heart and said calmly:

"The mountain and river guard team is not child's play, once Maozi comes, the people of the mountain and river guard team are going to rush to the front to protect the village, now the guns and ammunition are insufficient, and the bullets may have to be carried on the machete, I guess everyone sitting here does not have this ability! Now I have stipulated that as long as the security team is between the ages of twenty and forty, you can send anyone from your family who is of the right age. ”

After I said this, these people were silent, and they must have heard that it was so dangerous, and they were even more reluctant to let their sons and grandsons join in.

"I don't want this old life, can't I give it to your security team as a bullet blocker?"

Suddenly, an old man spoke.

I looked up and saw that the person who was talking was the landlord Liu Wanwu, as if he was a distant relative of Ivan's grandfather, the landlord Liu.

What does this mean, death will also die in my name, is it the meaning of this stinky scoundrel?

Anyway, I'm really not used to this kind of person.

"It's really rare for Elder Liu to have this kind of righteousness, when Maozi comes, it's up to you!" I leaned back in my chair and arched my hands.

"You ......"

The old man just wanted to have a seizure, but he was immediately stopped by the people around him.

Some of these people chattered with me for a while, and found that they really couldn't get any benefit, so they all bowed their heads and scattered.

As soon as they went out, the money shopkeeper of Wanfenglong's silver number came in, and it seemed that he had been eavesdropping outside the door for a long time. Behind him was a guy who was holding a large rectangular box in his hand, which looked a little heavy and seemed a little hard to hold.

This Wanfenglong silver is the only one in Shanhe Village, I have always felt that the business of the silver number must be a big city to make money, this Shanhe Village in addition to a few landlords to eat and drink without worrying about surplus, most of them even can't eat enough, even a little land of homesteaders are just barely mixed with food and clothing, how can there be extra money to save!

I don't know what this money shopkeeper is doing in such a poor rural place to open such a silver number map, is it the same as me, is it for love?

But anyway, the money shopkeeper was the first to mention to me that he wanted to dig a cellar together, and then he was very low-key, this person has been living in a simple place, although I can't figure out his personality, but I still have a good impression of him.

"Shopkeeper Luo."

The money shopkeeper greeted me with a smile, then asked the guy to put the box on the table, and sent the guy away.

"Money shopkeeper, what's the matter?"

I looked at the big box and thought to myself, isn't this money shopkeeper a big business, so he's coming to order me for security tasks, right?

The money shopkeeper opened the big box, and immediately my eyes straightened, and there were six guns of various sizes lying in the box, a Russian-style water rifle, two Czech light machine guns, and three Mauser pistols of different eras.

The point is, except for the water bead, which seems to have been used a lot, and the body of the gun has a lot of wear and tear, everything else is brand new.

I quickly got up from the chair, looking at the contents of the box, my eyes couldn't take my eyes off, to be honest, in addition to the old Russian-style rifle, it was the first time I had seen so many kinds of guns, there was something in this money shopkeeper!

"Money shopkeeper, this is ......"

"Shopkeeper Luo, in addition to this rifle is hidden at home, the other few are bought by the Ocean Bank that I entrusted someone to buy in the Special Administrative Region, this time I saw that we are short of guns, I will bring it to you to see, which one is suitable for our security team, you have decided, I will ask someone to decide, this ...... It is a little welcome gift from our Wanfeng Long Silver to the security team. ”

As the money shopkeeper spoke, he took out two more silver tickets, one thousand taels and one piece.

In fact, now there are more banks and money numbers in big cities, and this Wanfenglong silver number is huddled in Shanhe Village, I really don't know if they have any benefits, because every time I pass by their money village is deserted, I don't see a person, presumably these two thousand taels are also a huge amount of money for the Qian family.

"Money shopkeeper, you really understand the righteousness, if there is anything on the silver horn in the future, I will let the mountain and river guards be the first to arrive!"

"Well, it's okay, it's okay, my silver horn is a disguise...... Now there are only me and Humble Jing at home, and my son is staying abroad, and he has also told me a lot of new ideas...... Hi, don't mention it, don't mention it! ”

The money shopkeeper said and waved his hand.

I saw that the money shopkeeper wanted to talk a few times, and I suddenly understood most of my heart, if it is the same as I thought, then this money shopkeeper and his son should be regarded as a light in this era.

Presumably, from the time he knew that I was digging the tunnel, he had a plan in his heart, and he had been secretly observing me. But it's too early to say that, so I might as well talk to him about buying guns and ammunition first.

I estimated the expected size and made a list for the money shopkeeper.

500 Russian-style water rifles; 2000 Czech light machine guns; Mauser Model 1910 2000; 500 heavy machine guns, 100,000 rounds of ammunition of each type......

"This, Shopkeeper Luo, are you planning a rebellion?"

The money shopkeeper looked at the list I had made for him, held his breath, approached me and asked quietly.
