Chapter 154: It's called a win-win

"It's too early to say whether you will get rich or not. Patriarch Ashari, as you should have seen, there are great restrictions on this thing. As long as you react quickly enough, you can dodge it when it's thrown out. If you really want to use it in a duel with others, it is purely asking for hardship. The other party is not going to wait for you to set it on fire and throw it at him. It is estimated that it will be of some use in dealing with the beast tide this time. Cheng Siping said very modestly.

"Go, little brother, you're humble again, aren't you? As long as it can come in handy in this beast tide, then it has value. What's more, in the future, this thing will definitely not only be used to deal with the beast tide. It has a lot of limitations, but when used properly, it is undoubtedly a sharp weapon. Ashali put her hand on Cheng Siping's shoulder again and smiled.

After a small episode, the team of beast hunters continued to move forward in an orderly manner. Ashali didn't mention the issue of leaving first, she was still waiting for Cheng Siping to go back and get the hundreds of grenades. There is also what Cheng Siping said, which is used to open explosives to assist in the mining of saltpeter mines.

The efficiency of this beast hunting has obviously improved again. In more than three days, plus the Golden Knife Tribe, more than ninety strange beasts have been hunted. In this, in addition to the improvement of Cheng Siping's strength and the assistance of the Cave Void Sensing Sky Eye, the most important reason is the mutation of the alien beast group in the Southern Barbarian Black Forest. Low-level alien beasts are appearing more and more on the periphery, and their emotions are quite unstable, obviously revealing panic and confusion. This provided great convenience for Cheng Siping and them to hunt beasts, but neither Cheng Siping nor Ashali were happy about this. This is clearly a sign that the beast tide is getting closer.

With such a harvest, Cheng Siping did not continue to hunt beasts, and walked back with people. On the way back, he picked up the same one and hunted more than a dozen second- and third-level foreign beasts. After more than a day, a group of people waited and returned to Xuanyuan Village. But this time, there is no more of the scene of welcoming the village when the hunting beast returns. Only Zhu Sheng was alone, and he came out with more than a dozen young people to greet him. Moreover, he mainly helps deal with these hunted beasts. As for the others, they are busy and have no time.

Cheng Siping left all the things to deal with the strange beasts to Zhu Sheng and took people to deal with them. He returned to his courtyard with Ashali and solemnly drafted a detailed exchange agreement. The agreement he had talked to Asari before, on the exchange of hands for grenades and the exchange of saltpeter for grenades, was determined in black and white. And as the head of Xuanyuan Village, he officially signed this agreement with Ashali. For this reason, he also found Kou Yun and stamped his village chief's seal on the agreement.

Ashali took the agreement, got grenades and explosives from Cheng Siping, and left happily. Before leaving, the patriarch of the magnificent Golden Knife tribe did not forget to tease Cheng Siping, which made Cheng Siping cry and laugh.

finally sent her away, and Cheng Siping had to face Kou Yun's questioning again. Cheng Siping explained to her helplessly, and said: "You think that this agreement has given the Golden Dao Tribe an advantage, why haven't you thought that our village will benefit from this." Let me ask, what is the biggest problem facing the village right now?"

"This ......" Kou Yun was stunned for a moment, unable to answer for a while.

"It's human hands. Cheng Siping replied for her: "You see, now you need people to produce grenades, you need people to build those workshops in the village, and you also need people to go outside to collect materials for building grenades." The entire village, more than 900 people, even those children who were a few years old, were assigned tasks. This time, I took people out to hunt beasts, and in order to squeeze out these people, Elder Zhu and your father almost pulled their hair down without worry. ”

"Do you mean that the reason why you signed that agreement with the Golden Dao Tribe is actually in disguise, turning their villagers into the manpower of our village?" Kou Yun was not stupid at all, and immediately understood the meaning of Cheng Siping's words.

"That's right. You see, a large part of the people we sent out to mine the materials for making grenades are going to get this saltpeter. Because saltpeter is one of the most important materials for making picric acid, the main ingredient in explosives in grenades. Now, you see that there are people from the Golden Knife Tribe who will mine this saltpeter for us, is this just the manpower we put in this area before, and we have freed up. Then, Ashari promised to send the best carpenters of their tribe to our village in exchange for work. Now there is a shortage of carpenters in our village, and with their help, many things can be much easier. Cheng Siping Shi Ran said.

"We got the manpower we desperately needed, and the people of the Golden Knife Tribe got the grenades that they would save their lives in the future. In this way, it is an agreement that benefits both us and them. Kou Yun nodded and said.

"In my opinion, it's a win-win. Moreover, didn't I say it before, if I have the opportunity later, I still hope to absorb some people from the Golden Dao Tribe into our Xuanyuan Village. Now let's give them some grenades as a protective weapon. Then there may be more of them who will use this thing to fight their way out of the encirclement and join us. Therefore, no matter how this matter is calculated, we will not suffer. Cheng Siping said with some smugness. He and Ashari signed these two agreements, and it was really well thought out.

"I have to say, you did a beautiful job this time. You're kind of a village chief. Kou Yun nodded in approval, but her mouth was unceremoniously.

Cheng Siping was speechless for a while, and said in his heart: Heze, in your eyes, I have never looked like the village chief.

However, he did not take the matter seriously, but changed the topic and asked, "By the way, did you get the thing that I told the blacksmiths to make before I left?"

"It's done, it was made yesterday. Your drawings have tormented them a lot, and they all came here to complain. Anyway, what are you doing with that big iron pipe? Kou Yun asked puzzled.

"It's already, that's it, take me to see. Cheng Siping was quite excited, and he didn't care about anything else, so he got up and left. Seeing that he cared so much, Kou Yun instantly realized that that thing was probably not as simple as it seemed.

After a while, the two of them had already arrived at the blacksmith's workshop, where outside the door, there was an iron guy with a lot of momentum. It was Cheng Siping who asked the blacksmiths to create the cannon by hand. This cannon Cheng Siping used a pull-out cannon that was commonly equipped in the West before World War I, but it changed in response to changes in the Guiyuan realm. But on the whole, it was copied. The caliber of the gun was 105, and the barrel was 15 times the diameter. The specific performance indicators also depend on the shells created by the back.

"Let's go to the new dynamite workshop. By the way, did I get the new explosives that they tried to make?" asked Cheng Siping.

When Kou Yun heard this, she said with an unnatural expression: "It's out." It's just that the village chief let you get what kind of explosives this time, how did you blow it up when you touched it, and two ...... were seriously injured over there."
