God Chao Gaileng reacted after a moment, stood up and rushed outside the tent to watch the black smoke drifting. A breeze blew, and he smelled the familiar smell of gunpowder smoke again. He smiled broadly: "Hahaha, okay, God help me too."

!”

He knew that the back mountain was designated as a restricted area, where the Shenji Battalion was stationed. Some time ago, many old craftsmen who were good at making fireworks and firecrackers were recruited from Bianliang City, and they were won over by Ling Zhen. Hong Tianlei was given advice.

After that, I have been busy doing experiments since I arrived at Chaojiazhuang.

Unexpectedly, Ling Zhen’s ancestral craftsmanship was so good that he made a breakthrough in just two months. Not to mention the mountain excavation in the experiment just now, the scene was definitely a splash of gravel. As long as it was filled with shrapnel and embroidery needles, it would be a land mine!

The biggest gain from going to Bianliang City is not armor, but technical talents! Chao Gai was very happy when he thought of this, and the back of his head was filled with joy.

The sudden burst of laughter startled the guards such as Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng, and Han Yong. Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui, and Li Zhu were also confused when they heard the change.

They knew to some extent that the Shenji camp was harsh in recruiting people, but no news came. They were not sure about the power of later artillery. Seeing Chao Gai's excitement, they couldn't help but wonder: "Brother, why are you so happy after throwing some firecrackers?"

"This is a good thing. You will know about it in the future and strengthen the defense of the back mountain." After Chao Gai got over his excitement, he regained his composure and didn't mention it much. But he secretly sighed in his heart, "The Chao family's army will rely on this to attack the city in the future." Before

The secret weapon for talking freely about military theory is black powder.

In this era, there were wind-fire cannons thrown by catapults, and the mother-and-sonley cannons were powerful and lethal. Han Shizhong, who came from the Western Army, was a little unconcerned. But when he saw Chao Gai's mysterious smile, he couldn't help but become interested.

My brother invested a lot of manpower and material resources, most likely on that secret weapon!

Everyone returned to the military tent again.

Xu Guanzhong was a new member and it was his first time to participate in this kind of meeting. He didn't know much, so he calmly took out a pen and paper and took notes to understand the situation.

His self-awareness made Chao Gai nod secretly, and he had to work hard.

After sitting down, Wu Yong took a sip of tea and spoke first: "My lord, there are three major things that need your approval, and there are many small things that need to be discussed."

Chao Gai picked up the tea cup and said "hmm" as a sign to continue.

"The eunuch who read out the imperial edict during this period revealed that there was a batch of old grains to be exchanged for warehouses, about five to six million dan, and they were disposed of at a low price. Do we want it?"

"Holy shit, so many?" Chao Gai was surprised, and agreed without thinking: "Yes, send someone to contact you, implement it as soon as possible, and buy them all."

"Lord, this food is a bit too much." Wu Yong looked troubled.

When Chao Gai saw this, he thought of something very important. The investment in various businesses was huge, and money was needed everywhere. He hurriedly asked: "How much money do we have?"

"There are three million guan in the warehouse, and more than 2 million guan in unrealized antiques, calligraphy and paintings..."

When Chao Gai heard Wu Yong's answer, he raised his hand again: "So many? Buy..."

But before his hand moved, his voice suddenly stopped when he heard the following words.

Because Wu Yong had a wry smile on his face and seriously summarized the financial issues in detail: "Lord, please listen to what I have to say first! Chaojiazhuang employs tens of thousands of workers, and needs monthly payment, and half a million yuan needs to be reserved for this.

Guan. The purchase of various materials such as pig iron, cloth, gauze, etc. also costs hundreds of thousands of Guan. Calculating this, the money that can be mobilized is only two million Guan.

In Jeju, Mr. Shi contacted the contacts again and revealed in advance that there were thousands of sets of leather armors and more than ten warships. Fatty Wang was still selling goods from the Western Army. Jiangling Prefecture was a relatively prosperous place, with more than 200,000 kilograms of food on several occasions.

.Northern cattle and sheep also need money to trade, and they also need millions of dollars to spare.

My lord, don’t forget, one hundred thousand soldiers have to pay for food and drink, which is a huge expense. Hundreds of thousands of people also rely on us for food. We also need to help the poor, which is a big expense.

.Monthly income takes time, so Chaojiazhuang can barely maintain it. Last time, it was difficult to mobilize millions of guans to move around and buy millions of dans of grain."

Chao Gai drank some tea and listened carefully to Wu Yong's words. Every time he heard him talk about the money for an expense, his face became darker, until he finally said it and looked a little ugly. He did the math silently and found that the money in the warehouse was not enough.

.

He has been spending money lavishly on purchases. He has considered this situation. The fact that he said in Hujiazhuang that I have money but lack confidence is proof!

Most of the business in Chaojiazhuang was open-ended, and the war broke out or the imperial court blocked it. After all, walking on one leg was not a problem. This situation was unavoidable. It was time to let the fifth battalion of the navy go to sea to add ways to make money.

Chao Gai thought for a long time and then smiled bitterly: "Did you see that? We have to spend money everywhere. We have assets of three to five million yuan, but I am still a poor man."

What he said was interesting, and everyone couldn't help but smile!

"Lord, that batch of old grain?" Wu Yong asked for instructions.

After Chao Gai pondered for a moment, his attitude remained firm: "Buy, that batch of grain must be purchased. Firstly, it shows our strength. Secondly, food is very important in the future. You can't buy it even if you have money. You must hoard it while you have it."

"Uh, why are you so worried, my lord?" Wu Yong saw that Chao Gai looked wrong.

Seeing Chao Gai's solemn expression, several other people couldn't help but be curious. Except for Xu Guanzhong, they knew that Chao's village had a total of three to four million shi of grain stockpiled. This was an astonishing number, enough for one million people to need for a year.

Chao Gai put down his tea cup and sighed helplessly: "Hey, you don't understand! There are already signs of rebellion in Tianhu in the east of the river and wax in the south of the Yangtze River."

When Xu Guanzhong saw Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui and others were a little confused, he spoke for the first time and added: "I have seen this guy from Hedong Tianhu. He is a troubled young man. He is a ruffian who robs homes and houses for gang members. He intended to attack the county six months ago. He invited me to help, but he declined because he was an old mother."

.This person is cruel and unruly in his actions, and will definitely cause disaster. But what about Jiangnan Wa?"

This last question was the point of the question. Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang, and Li Zhu had heard about Tian Hu's evil deeds, but they didn't know who Fang La was. After all, the information was limited, and it was not like Chao Gai who had foresight.

Chao Gai was puzzled for a moment and then suddenly realized that at this time, Jiangnan La was just organizing people to preach and confuse the people, and not many people knew about it.

"Who knows about Manichaeism and Mingjiao?"

After Li Zhu murmured for a moment, he immediately responded: "I have heard a little bit about it. It is a sect that flourished in Jiangnan a few years ago. What is the name of the leader?"

"That's right! That guy is Fang Wa!" Chao Gai nodded, and casually commented on Manichaeism: "This religion is best at deceiving the public with evil words, bewitching poor people to donate money and food, eating vegetables to become demons, gathering in private, the opportunity

Mature rebellion. In two or three years, there will be a rebellion by tigers and wolves in the north and south, the war will be chaotic, taxes will be imposed as fiercely as tigers, and the people will be plunged into dire straits."

His words are relatively subtle. In fact, there is another reason that it is not said. Historically, there is also a political and year -time period. The floods around JD West Road are frequent.

The fields are deserted, and the output of grain has decreased sharply.

People do n’t have the belly, countless people who starve to death!

Because he knew but did not want to see the tragedy, he began to hoard the food from the day of his home, and spared no effort to acquire it. It took more money to sell antique characters and paintings, so that there were nearly 4 million stone grain reserves.

But all this is not enough!

"It is estimated that next year, the shortage of food, the price is rising all the way, and now the money can always be able to buy a stone. At that time, it will have to be at least two or three, even more expensive. The most important thing is that there is no place to buy it.

"Yes, make preparations early, food must be bought!" Xiao Jiasui was the first to be the people, the first to be harmonious. Wen Huanzhang, Li Xunzhong nodded.

"Okay, do less reserved in other aspects, misappropriate money to buy food." Wu Yong understood the importance of the three armies, the importance of grain and grass first, and summarized the statement.

When I saw the five military divisions, the five military divisions were resolute and very happy, and then ordered: "Full votes pass, all the gold and silver that cannot eat and drink are used to change food. In addition, no one shall waste a grain of food, otherwise Lao Tzu will let him eat a bowl of a bowl

Turkey. Fast spring plowing. The troops trained outside cannot trample farmland. They must bring back the wild vegetables and marinate and dry ... "

Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang quickly recorded the method of opening source and throttling of the cover, Xu Guanzhong was shocked by the training method of the family army and more than ten kinds of wild vegetables. The boss's roar was not small, and the people outside were alarmed.

After buying food, Li Xun talked about the second thing: "Lord, according to the information collected on the rivers and lakes and scouts, Jeju, Luzhou, Following, Puzhou, Bozhou and other prefectures all have three or five battalions forbidden forces.

Moved, there were twelve battalions forbidden forces in Puzhou, and the light cavalry occupied eight battalions. "

"Twelve battalions? There are so many!" Xi Gai was taken aback. The first reaction was targeted at himself, but he quickly denied it because he thought of one thing.

And in history in history, Puzhou will be upgraded to Dongping Mansion.

Is that person?

"Lord, tens of thousands of tens of thousands of military horses around Tancheng. All the troops for defense. This siege battle is obviously from Liangshan, and it is also from us." Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasu's face was somewhat worried.

"Of course, the attack on the court to make the court alert, and naturally moved."

"Lord, this is the news of Liangliang City!" Wu took out a note from his sleeves and handed it to the cover.

, Jeju Shizhi Prefecture is also promoted. We came to the new master in Tancheng County, named Shi Wenbin. "

"Jeju Shi Lao's third life is good!" Gao Gai glanced on the information on the note, and saw the row of Jizhou Zhizhou a little grinned. It not only felt the change of the fate of Shi Zhizhou, but also had some headaches.

It seems that Zhang Shuye, a famous minister in the history of the Song Dynasty. It is said that this person is just right and very capable. I am afraid that their own situation will be threatened.

He has headaches to headaches, but you always have to face no? Gai Gai rubbed the temple and smiled: "It's all old friends, they are going to leave, find time to ask them to have a meal. Especially Wang Fat and Wang Lun, dial to dial, order to dial

One two ... "

"Hehehe, I will arrange it!"

"After walking waves after another, and how many old people are left?"
