Xue Chong thought for a while before he said: "Ding Kui, you are a noble child who doesn't understand the thoughts of commoners, ordinary people meet a good lord, and the annual tax expenditure is less than that paid to the kingdom, on the contrary, it is much more. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, good lords are hard to come by, and except for the great families with a long history, there are very few lords whose taxes are lower than those of the kingdom. There is a generation of children who will lose their property if they do not fight for it, and they can only squeeze their own people.

We all believe that you will be kind to everyone, but what about your son, what about your grandson, who can guarantee what will happen in the future? If you ask you now, most of them will definitely not want to be your lord. ”

"It's because I didn't think it through, thank you for Team Xue's guidance. Ding Kui didn't expect Xue Chong to answer like this, "No wonder those nobles attach so much importance to their own people, it turns out that it is not easy to get." Giant Sheep City has just experienced the war, and the population has been greatly affected by it, and now it should not even be as good as the lower city. ”

"yes, how did you come up with the idea of making the Giant Sheep City a territory? From the point of view of your nobles, this is not a good place. Xue Chong is based on his own understanding of the aristocracy.

"Hehe, I'm different from them, I don't want to get much wealth from the people, there are many reasons to choose Giant Sheep City, and Yongsheng Base is one of them. I called you all here, not to go away after a few years, but to feed those who follow me with my trades. "Ding Kui really didn't want to exploit his own people.

"If you do become a lord, I personally don't mind being your lord. Xue Chong said this, which somewhat took care of Ding Kui's emotions.

"Your military exploits can ensure that your son does not have to pay taxes, and there is no need to be a leader for others, and the kindness I owe you will never be repaid. Ding Kui didn't dare to make Xue his own leader.

In Zhenbei Pass, there was no Xue Chong who stretched out his hand to block it, and he didn't have to say whether he had his life or not.

"A family can't stay in one place for a long time as a foreigner, and at least my family will not be oppressed by your family, and be a rich family in your territory, the Xue family will be very satisfied. Xue Chong's heart still pays attention to stability.

"No problem, no matter whether the Xue family is my subject or not, wherever I am, the Xue family will be able to be a rich family in peace. Now that the Yongsheng base is going to develop into a city, there will definitely be a need for some people in the Merchant Brigade to turn into my private army, and you will be the chief instructor in the future. Ding Kui gave Xue Chong an explanation.

"Just to guard here, the archer unit is better than other troops, the cavalry is not needed at all, and the navy is dispensable. ”

"The climate here is humid and rainy, and it is not easy to maintain equipment such as bows and arrows, so if you want to find a better way to solve this problem, this terrain of the Great Grassland should indeed give priority to cultivating long-range troops. Ding Kui's heart moved, and a vague thought flashed through his mind, and he only vaguely remembered that it was related to the long-range troops.

"Large equipment such as catapults and storming vehicles cannot be used here, and bows and arrows are the most critical offensive and defensive weapons. In the Twentieth Legion, there were people who specialized in the maintenance of bows and arrows, which were divided into two types: training and combat, so as to avoid the influence of the weather on the bow and arrows as much as possible. Xue Chong said based on past experience.

"Big equipment is useless? Wait, I'll go back and check the armory, and it looks like there's a powerful ranged attack device missing. Ding Kui's fists clenched suddenly, "You rest first." "Just leave.

Xue Chong was a little confused, he couldn't think of any large equipment missing.

Crossbows, bed crossbows! Why have I forgotten this big killing weapon, I can't make guns, can't I make crossbows? The archers in this world are so powerful, why don't there be crossbows?

Ding Kui was thinking as he galloped back to Giant Sheep City.

The principle of crossbows and bows and arrows is similar, the process of manufacturing them is not complicated, and in some respects crossbows are much more powerful than bows and arrows.

Under normal circumstances, where there are bows and arrows, there should also be crossbows, but the archers in the Shenyuan World focus on improving mental power and physical strength, rather than improving bows and arrows, so no one has developed crossbows yet.

There weren't many things in the armory of the Giant Sheep City barracks, and of course there would be no bed crossbows, Ding Kui remembered that he had never seen a crossbow in this world, so he ran to ask the old man.

"Crossbow? What is that? Are you sure it's for the archers?" the old man was stopped by Ding Kui.

Ding Kui stood silently in front of the old man for a while before he said, "It was a device that appeared in my dream, a bit like a bow and arrow, but now my memory is blurred, and I don't remember it very clearly." ”

Oh my God, there are no crossbows in this world, and I can't tell the secret of the crossbow, because it's not very high-tech and can be easily copied.

Weapons are something that foreigners will definitely plagiarize, and people will learn it even if they don't hesitate to fight, and they are fundamentally different from commodities, so they should be put aside before solving the problem of secrecy.

Ding Kui's mood is complicated, he just found a good thing but he can't use it, so he can only forcibly restrain himself, which is very unpleasant.

When he returned to his room, he stayed up all night, lying on his desk to write and draw all night, and finally burned all the papers, and in the eyes of others he had worked all night in vain.

The New Year's holiday passed quickly, and I am afraid that Ding Kui's experience was the most profound, and it seemed to blink an eye for him.

The affairs of the army were relatively simple, Zhang Jie ordered the first brigade to restrict foreigners from running around in Juyang City, let alone running out of the scope of Juyang City, and Ding Kui only needed to arrange people to regularly inspect the foreigners' settlements.

Nowadays, all foreigners entering and leaving Juyang City must be registered, and the first brigade implements a joint sitting system, no matter which country has one less person, Ding Kui will arrest everyone in the country and release them until the missing person is found.

The foreigners who come to Juyang City are for money, no one will get along with Ding Kui, everyone's whereabouts are honestly reported to the first team, and no one will run around.

Ding Kui patrolled around from time to time, secretly paying attention to his countrymen's every move, he frequently carried out sneak attacks in the war, and copied people's back roads, but he didn't want his nest to be unknowingly destroyed.

On this day, he took the tenth team to the vicinity of the dock, showed his face in front of the people in the city, and checked the chilled store by the way. "Huh?" he noticed a group of people who had just walked out of the dock gate, "Why are all those people armed with weapons?

Ding Cai immediately walked to the dock and went straight to the guards guarding the door.

"The dock was blocked, and everyone was suspended from entering and leaving. Jin Yan immediately ordered.

Ding Kui stood in front of the gate of the chilled store, quietly observing the situation on the pier, and behind him were Ao Yu and Qianyou, who slowly rose into the air to observe a larger area.

The people who wanted to come out of the dock saw that there were regular troops intercepting them, so they didn't dare to rush hard, but they said loudly: "We are the honored guests of the Qu City Lord, you can't stop us." ”

Where will Jin Yan's subordinates pay attention to Watchen's VIPs, drive them to a clearing and take control, and wait for the boss Ding Kui to fall.

After a while, Ding Cai ran back and said, "Those people are the guards of a nobleman in their own country, and they specially escorted a few boxes, which are said to be sent to the city lord's mansion. ”

"No foreigner can bring weapons into the country, don't they know about this ban?" Ding Kui looked unhappy.

"They know, but recently there have been bandits on the Tongyuan River, and they have looted several merchant ships, and they are worried that there will be bandits infiltrating the city, so they have to bring weapons to escort their things. "Ding Cai is very efficient, and he has learned a lot of information in a short period of time.

"Fart! The water bandits sneaking into the city naturally have the security bureau to deal with it, the public security bureau can't deal with it, there are city defense troops, the city defense army can't do it, and we still have us, when do we need them to take precautions. Tell them to keep all the weapons on board, or else they all follow me back to the barracks. Ding Kui was furious, and he dared to use this kind of little trick in front of him.

"Obey!" Ding Cai turned and swaggered towards his own people controlled by the tenth squad.

After listening to Ding Cai's order, his countrymen glanced in the direction of Ding Kui a few times, probably seeing two people in the air, obediently closed their mouths, handed over their weapons to one of them and brought them back to the ship.

During this period, an officer of the city defense army ran out, and when he saw Ding Kui in front of the ice store from a distance, he immediately shrank back again, and the city defense army could not control the interference of the first brigade.

Such a small episode passed quickly, Ding Kui deliberately came to the riverside and looked at the lower reaches of the Tongyuan River, "When did the water bandits appear?

Jin Yan and Ding Cai glanced at each other, and the two of them shook their heads together.

"Team D, we just learned about this matter, please go down and investigate, verify the specific situation and report to you. Jin Yan couldn't blame Ding Cai for this kind of thing, so he had to answer Ding Kui's question by himself.

"No, your team can't figure out what's going on on the water. After a while, you will stress to the commander of the city defense army, and if I find a foreigner entering the country with weapons, I will arrest him for the crime of fornicating with a foreign country. Ding Kui is not asking people, those two questions are asking himself.

Qianyou leaned into Ding Kui's ear and said, "There are suspicious people moving along the coast. ”

"The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, I didn't provoke trouble for others, but people took the initiative to come to the door, the war is not completely over, my first brigade is still stationed here, and I dare to make small moves under my nose. Ding Cai!"

"The subordinates are here!" Ding Cai regarded himself as Ding Kui's personal soldier outside.

"Go back to the camp and inform all squadron leaders that there will be a meeting after dinner tonight. ”

Ding Kui was very angry, and the consequences were very serious, and the commander of the city defense army ran to the gate of the barracks and waited before he returned to the camp.

Who can guarantee that foreigners will not appear with weapons in the future, and if there are foreigners who hide them privately, the commander of the city defense army will be unjustly killed.

"You have memorized it for me, I will not give you the deadline or anything, I will arrest people if you are negligent, I will not arrest people if you cannot supervise them, and the ban on foreigners not being allowed to enter the country with weapons must not be relaxed. Ding Kui warned the commander of the city defense army in person.
