Li Xian also presented a large number of gifts to the warriors present, including tiger skins, tiger bone wine, pickled whale meat, whale oil and other local specialties. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition, Li Xian also prepared a special gift, that is, 200,000 rounds of ammunition and 2,000 grenades, for the warriors present to share one point for themselves.

Li Xian always wanted to build a military factory in Leizhou, but because of the limitations of time, personnel, and technology, the foundation was still very weak, and it was definitely not possible to build guns and cannons, but it was no problem to buy gunpowder from foreign merchants and assemble bullets and grenades by himself.

The price of bullets has risen from 10,000 rounds of 15 yuan to 45 yuan for 10,000 rounds, and the price of grenades has also risen from one of the original four corners to more than one dollar.

The Mixed Yuan Sect does not yet have the ability to produce gunpowder by itself, but by purchasing gunpowder and processing it with supplied materials, it can also reduce the cost to the level of 20 yuan per 10,000 rounds of bullets and each triangle of grenades, which is not bad.

If the problem of gunpowder production can be solved, this cost can be reduced by at least half.

Since the establishment of the musket team, the number of warriors in Guangzhou who use firearms has increased dramatically, and many people like to carry two or three grenades with them for emergency purposes even if they don't use muskets, but they are deeply affected by the soaring prices of firearms, and they can't help but cheer when they see that Li Xianhao is so angry that he can take out military supplies worth about 3,000 oceans to give away.

Li Xian took the opportunity to propose that everyone present help the Mixed Yuan Sect recruit people.

With the current situation of the Mixed Yuan Sect, it is easy to recruit the guards used for the battle, and recruiting fishermen, experienced hunters and ordinary fishermen who have been whaling for generations in the three counties of Leizhou are all good sources of soldiers, but it is difficult to recruit craftsmen with professional and technical skills.

In the poverty of the three counties of Leizhou, there are occasional craftsmen, and their level is more than one star or two points worse than their counterparts in Macao, Foshan and Guangzhou.

Li Xian had previously recruited hundreds of shipyard workers from Macau, but this was not enough, and Li Xian also hoped to recruit experienced blacksmiths, craftsmen with experience in gunpowder production, as well as carpenters and craftsmen from various other trades.

In addition, Li Xian also hopes to recruit some martial artists, some literate scholars, experienced shopkeepers and stewards, etc.

The Mixed Yuan Sect is very rich now, and Li Xian hopes to recruit more than 300 people in the early stage, without too many restrictions, as long as they have the professional ability that the Mixed Yuan Sect needs, they can be hired with a high salary, and the salary can be more than fifty percent higher than their original salary.

The war between China and Britain had a huge impact on the economy of Guangzhou, as evidenced by the great blow to Macao's shipbuilding industry.

The families of the warriors present are considered wealthy, otherwise they would not be able to provide all kinds of resources needed to practice martial arts, but their neighbors, including relatives, are not necessarily so wealthy.

In the case of the Lin family of the Fuwei Dart Bureau alone, the family has Mengxue, which makes many children surnamed Lin more or less literate, but the Fuwei Dart Bureau alone cannot provide too many jobs, many of the literature is not enough to test Xiucai, and the children who are not enough to enter the martial arts can only work in the family farm, and even waste their years.

These unsuccessful family disciples are very much needed by Li Xian, at least recruit them to teach his big-headed soldiers to read and write, and to a large extent, they can break the monopoly of all writing work by the original dozen or so disciples of the Mixed Yuan Sect.

In addition, Foshan is one of the four famous towns of the Qing Dynasty, with a very developed iron industry and military industry, there are many craftsmen with experience in gunpowder production here, and there are many experienced blacksmiths, some even have experience in casting cannons and making guns, which are urgently needed by the Mixed Yuan Sect now.

The rise of the Mixed Yuan Sect is too fast, and the connections are too lacking, but if you can rely on the relationship between Fuwei Dart Bureau or Sanyuanguan, recruit craftsmen in Foshan, and then recruit a lot of scholars, stewards, and buddies, etc., it is very suitable.

From the very beginning, Li Xian regarded these visiting warriors as extremely valuable resources, and after the party began, he interviewed people one by one and finalized many things.

For example, Lin Pingzhi expressed his willingness to let more than 20 people in his family have studied, but his martial arts are not very good, and the children of his relatives who are basically idle at home go to Donghai Island to work under Li Xian to make money, but he agreed with Li Xian that these people are not very good at martial arts, and they can only do clerical work when they go, and they can't do things like fighting and killing.

In addition, Lin Pingzhi also said that he could use the influence of the Lin family to recruit some experienced shopkeepers and associates to help Li Xian take care of his business, and also said that he could secretly recruit some experienced blacksmiths and gunpowder craftsmen from Foshan to work on Donghai Island, just to pay some money for the Yuan Sect.

Li Xian was overjoyed and agreed without a word.

Qiao Daqing and Ling Huzhan of the Huashan Qi Sect were also easily persuaded, and after Li Xian's warm invitation, they agreed to go to Donghai Island to carry out some cooperation in business.

It turned out that the Huashan Qi Sect came from Huashan all the way to Guangdong, and almost relied on the Sanyuan Concept to gain a firm foothold in the local area.

Huashan Qi Sect established a boat gang with the support of Sanyuanguan, headed by Qiao Daqing, with more than 500 members in the gang, who usually made money by doing inland river transportation, and provided financial support for the inner disciples of the Huashan faction to practice martial arts.

It's just that after the outbreak of the Sino-British War, the volume of sea trade has decreased a lot, and the business of cargo transportation has also been greatly affected.

If Li Xian didn't invite, the people from the Huashan faction would never propose to look for work in Leizhou Bay, so as not to cause misunderstandings such as land grabbing, but after Li Xian invited him very sincerely, Qiao Daqing and Ling Huzhan felt that this was also an opportunity, so they agreed to take some people to Donghai Island to do some freight work.

As for Yang Tianming, the holy son of the Ming Sect, he has a very high status in the sect, and he is not short of money or anything, even martial arts cheats or something, which are also top-notch.

However, precisely because there is nothing missing, Yang Tianming is particularly yearning for novelties, and after Li Xian described the grand scene of whaling vividly, and said that when he came to Donghai Island, he could use Western artillery casually, Yang Tianming couldn't help but move, his heart itched, and he asked to go to Donghai Island to see.

In the end, when it was Wang Jiuxuan's turn, Li Xian was still thinking about how to seduce this three-yuan view master disciple to Donghai Island, but he didn't expect Wang Jiuxuan to take the initiative to go to Donghai Island to have a look, and also proposed a business.

It turned out that Wang Jiuxuan saw Li Xian take out a large number of grenades to give away, so he guessed that Li Xian could produce grenades himself, so he hoped to order a batch of grenades from Li Xian, the amount was quite a lot, and he asked for 100,000 grenades in one mouth.

"100,000 grenades?" Li Xian felt that his mouth was dry, this was really big business.

"There are so many grenades, I can't get them out for a while, but if you give me some time, and the price is right, I'll fight for this old life and make it for you. ”

"I also know that it can be difficult to come up with so many grenades at once.

However, you can take it out in batches, say 30,000 for the first month, 30,000 for the second month, and then 40,000 for the last month.

Anyway, on our side, as many grenades as we get, we will settle with you for as much as you want.

It's just that we are all so familiar, you can't slaughter our three-element view, this unit price can't be too high. Wang Jiuxuan said.
