The money shopkeeper calculated the losses of this fight against the bandits, in addition to the loss of ammunition and items, he also added the labor costs of all the members of the mountain and river defense team who were born and died for one night, catering expenses, rest expenses, etc., and calculated twenty-five taels of silver, and Liu Si's family did not have so much silver, so Shen Daniu took the title deed of his family's five acres of land to deduct it.

It is said that when the mountain and river guards left, Liu Si sat on the ground and cried sadly.

Shen Daniu handed me the title deed, and I announced that the five acres of land would be counted as the public property of the security team, and the people of the security team would cultivate it together, and everyone would share it together after the autumn harvest.

Unexpectedly, this decision immediately aroused everyone's applause, especially those landless tenants, whose eyes lit up when they heard about my decision.

I suddenly thought that this was a good idea, and I had been worried that I would not be able to unite these tenants better, but if the mountain and river guards had land......

The big landlords in the village, I have quite an idea.

There are still a lot of fields in this Shanhe Village, and I have learned about it during this time, there are about thousands of acres, but almost half of them are in the hands of a few big landlords, and seven or eight big landlords occupy nearly 500 acres of land.

The small landlords occupied another 2,300 mu, while the large and small landlords combined were more than 50 people, and the remaining 100 or so yeoman farmers took the remaining 200 mu or so, and then the more than 200 landless wrecks became tenants, long-term laborers, and hired farmers.

Like this, Liu Si is a middle-level landlord, his family has about more than 20 acres of land, and he lost 5 acres to the security team, and there are more than 10 acres.

I was thinking about the matter of this land, and the money shopkeeper came again, and I remembered that there was another matter that had to be solved.

In fact, the money shopkeeper had already nagged me seven or eight times, asking me to find a way to send him to the Special Administrative Region, find a foreign company to order weapons, and then ship him back.

If it had been placed in the past, the money manager who went to the Special Administrative Region would not have to look for me, he hired a car and took two people to go, but now the bandit Mao Zi takes turns to wander around, and it seems that this old man is cowardly.

Considering that Mao Zi is estimated to make a comeback in the near future, I can't leave this mountain and river village, and now the world is becoming more and more chaotic, and at this time, the underground party has already had the potential to spark the prairie fire, which makes Lao Jiang feel very panicked, so now the main roads in and out of the township, county and in and out of the special zone are being checked, and I am afraid that ordinary people will not be able to transport a large number of arms back in this situation.

I glanced at Yang Chenglin, who was also looking at me with slanted eyes.

"Okay! Yes! I'll go, the money shopkeeper, pack up, and we'll leave tonight. ”

Yang Chenglin said to the money shopkeeper.

"Daoist Yang, it's just the two of us?"

"Isn't two enough? You buy, I ship! ”

"This, this ......"

I took out about 500,000 taels of gold from the Li Shan space—twenty-five gold bricks—and placed them on the table.

Seeing this gold, Yang Chenglin and the money shopkeeper's eyes straightened.

Originally, it was exchanged for silver taels, but later it was found that it was too much and too heavy, so it was changed to gold, so that the two of them could enter the city and it would be easier to carry.

"Goo-dong-" Yang Chenglin swallowed his saliva:

"Brother, I will live and die with you in the future!"

"Money shopkeeper, I have roughly estimated the prices of various types of guns and ammunition you listed, or according to what I said before, 500 Russian-style water bead rifles; 2000 Czech light machine guns; Mauser Model 1910 2000; 500 heavy machine guns, each type of ammunition increased to 200,000 rounds, if you have money left, you can see what you want to buy. ”

At this point, the shopkeeper seemed to know that the list of ordnance I had listed last time was not a joke, and he was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, and suddenly assured me with a very solemn expression:

"The big shopkeeper, please rest assured, I will be very careful on the road, I will ensure that I complete the task, and I will definitely bring the weapon back, I am here! Then the weapon is in! If the weapon is robbed, let the robbers step over my corpse first! ”

"Hehe, money shopkeeper, it's not easy to step over your corpse." Yang Chenglin replied with a snort.

I glared at him and said:

"The money shopkeeper's words are serious, if something happens along the way, the most important thing is for someone to come back first."

Then they discussed some details of the comings and goings, and then Yang Chenglin and the money shopkeeper went back to prepare first, Yang Chenglin insisted on walking at night, and the money shopkeeper could only rely on him.

After the two left, I saw that it was not early, Zhao Donglai began to cook in a hurry, I asked Zhao Donglai to find two women in the village to be responsible for cooking, don't do it yourself, Zhao Donglai said embarrassedly:

"It's okay once or twice, but if you find someone to do it every day, you have to pay for it."

"Then pay some wages to find someone, and in the future, you can make your own decisions within 1,000 taels of all kinds of hiring expenses."

"Shopkeeper, we don't have more than 1,000 taels in our account."

"Oh! The money will come in with me first. ”

I called Zhao Donglai to the room, told him about the expansion of the mountain and river protection team and the establishment of the women's medical team, and asked him to inform the men and women in the village who were idle and had nothing to do that they would all come for an interview tomorrow.

I got another batch of fruit tree saplings, and I planted them after the interview.

The next day, I took all my things at dawn and went through the tunnel to the saline-alkali land in the west.

"The big treasurer, you are here, everyone has arrived." Zhao Donglai said.

"Why do you still know so many people?" I asked.

"The big shopkeeper, they are all from other villages, I heard that you are going to set up a security team, and I also want to come over to participate, these are my two cousins, they are from Xiaojia Village." Li Shishi said and pointed to the two strong guys next to him.

"The big treasurer, this is my cousin, and I also want to join the security team, from Lishu Village."

"The big shopkeeper, this is my third uncle, and I also want to join the security team, Yanggangpo Village."

……

It's numb, I really didn't expect there to be such a show waiting for me, but it seems that the conditions of these outsiders are not bad, so it's better to take a look first.

The first batch of the mountain and river defense team had a total of 57 people, which was retained and changed to the general team, and then three more people were added, bringing together 60 people, as the vanguard, led by Li Shishi, this remained unchanged.

Then the detachment was formed, and the detachment temporarily formed four, each with a hundred people, to be responsible for guarding the other four passages in the tunnel, except for the one in the Black Duck River.

Now the members of the four teams will be interviewed, and the content of the interview includes running with sandbags, 200-meter sprint, 3000-meter uphill and downhill running, and free wrestling.

What is called free wrestling, that is, there are no rules, and if you put the opponent down, you will win.

"That's going to have to be done beforehand, don't pick your eyes." It was proposed.

"yes, you can't pick your eyes." I think it makes sense.

In addition to these items, if you also have specialties such as climbing trees, climbing walls, going to the house, and swimming, they can be used as plus points.

"Okay, that's it, because this mountain and river defense team will directly fight Maozi and bandits face to face in the future, so you must be at least 20 years old to participate, and the age can't be too big, but if you don't accept the old one, you can also try ......"

"Why are only men participating? Why do you underestimate me? ”

As I spoke, a voice interrupted me with a grunt.

Following the voice, a little girl in her early twenties, with black skin and translucent red, about 1.7 meters tall, and a thin figure spoke, and this girl also carried a shotgun on her back, her face was full of provocation and disdain, and she asked me with her neck and eyes.

"The mountain and river defense team is going to fight, and there are dangers ......"

I was a little weak to explain to such an angry girl with her own weapons and equipment.

"Who is afraid of war? Free wrestling, do you want to compare with me? ”

The girl really took off the shotgun she was carrying on her back as she spoke, handed it to the other girls with guns next to her, rolled up her sleeves and walked over, ready to me, I hurriedly took two steps back, and said:

"I'm not going to compare with you."

"You little girl gave you a cow, I'll compare it with you...... Yes! ”

Shen Da Niu couldn't see it anymore, so he yelled at the little girl, but before he finished speaking, he was turned around by the little girl, clamped his neck with one arm, stumbled on his leg, and fell directly to the ground.

Everyone laughed, and after Shen Daniu sat on the ground and was stunned for a few seconds, he made a noise and said that the little girl had attacked him and made a trick.

"What's the trick! If you hit Maozi, Maozi will wait for you to start shouting before fighting? ”

"Coax-"

The crowd laughed again.

These two are professional, huh? I couldn't help but be impressed by this little girl, but I hadn't seen her before, so she should be from another village.

"Come on!"

The little girl wrestled and hooked her hands to challenge me.

"No need to compare, if you want to participate in the competition, just participate! What's your name and which village? ”

"My name is Lu Tieniu, and my sisters are all from the Black Blind Island."

She said and gestured to a couple of girls who were also carrying guns.

My heart trembled, Black Blind Island, a name that I regret every time I hear it, just after the Middle Eastern Railway incident that was about to start in July this year, this place belongs to Maozi.

As far as I know, there are about forty or fifty families on Black Blind Island now, and there are more than a dozen Maozi families living on it, and they all rely on fishing and hunting for a living, no wonder this girl moves neatly.

"We're going to take part in the exam, and if you don't agree, we'll compete with you."

At this time, one of the girls Lu Tieniu pointed to also shouted at me twice.

"I agree, don't compare, don't compare." I waved my hand.

Since it was decided that women could also participate in this defense team selection tournament, I felt it was necessary to say a few words.

"Since someone has proposed it, why only men are allowed to participate, I have to say here that this regulation is not to look down on us female comrades, the main reason is that the physical strength of men and women is too different, whether it is strength or speed, ah...... Wait a minute. Because! If there is a situation where the bullets run out, and we want to fight Maozi one-on-one, we must be able to fight them for at least a few rounds, right? Can't let Maozi capture us like a chicken, then now this competition is equal to men and women, and they can all participate, both men and women can enter the security team as long as they pass the competition! ”

"Good!" The cries of the women below.

explained a few words to Zhao Donglai, demarcated the venue, and the game began.

The first item is to run with sandbags, the rules of the game, each person carries 150 pounds of sandbags, shouts to run, climbs the opposite hill, and then runs back, Li Shishi waits behind the slope to see who cheats.
