Chapter 34 Late Night Planning

Five bows, hundreds of arrows, twenty straight knives, and thirty spears combined only a few dozen pieces, and the seven people quickly finished collecting them.

From today on, the rule of 1,600 families and 8,000 people in Mani Township will be Li Luo.

This was the first turning point after Li Luo came to the Yuan Dynasty. From then on, he was no longer the Tian Nu in the eyes of the aristocratic families, he was an official! He was the official in charge of civil affairs and military affairs in a village!

His life, death, honor and disgrace are no longer easily decided by a playboy from a noble family.

"Congratulations to Lord Duzhai!" Du Lie laughed, and the others also smiled and congratulated him.

Next, Li Luo bought two ox carts for transporting goods in the market, and spent 80 guan; twenty stones of grain, forty guan; one hundred guan; nine guan; two hundred guan; two hundred guan; four hundred guan; four hundred guan; pepper, ginger, garlic, oil and vinegar and other seasonings; three guan; top-quality clothes, shoes and socks, thirty guan; pots, pans, and other items; two guan; pen, ink, paper, and ink, and three guan.

This purchase cost a total of 180 stakes. In addition to the 40 stakes he had purchased for the outfit before, plus 300 stakes he had sent Zheng Lu, the total expenditure was 520 stakes he had!

It was not until around 3 pm that Li Luo ordered to set off. The two ox carts could not pull, so everyone could only carry them away.

When we returned to Mobei Village, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Fortunately, almost all the villagers rested at this time, and there was no sensation onlookers.

Du Lie and others helped to transport the grain and other goods to the main house of the Li family. Both cows were tied to the yard and then said goodbye. When the five people left, Li Luo generously gave each of them a bucket of grain, three kilograms of meat and one kilogram of salt, which was a hard work.

Li Luo and Du Liewutu agreed to convene a group of young Jurchens to recruit local heroes within three days, but the military pay and treatment will be kept confidential first.

After doing so many things this day, Li Luo and Cui Xiuning were both tired. But both of them were very happy.

Cui Xiuning looked at the main room full of food and supplies for a long time, then went out to touch the two cows tied in the yard, and then returned to the wing room to cook the fire.

"There are food, fields and cows, now I feel at ease." Li Luo smiled, "It's just a wife who is missing."

Cui Xiuning's big eyes were full of smiles, "Then why don't you find a Goryeo wife tomorrow."

"In front of me is a lady from the Li family like a fairy. Why should I let Bendu Village go near and far?"

"Fugitive, you're so naughty, are you looking for a beating, right?"

"Now the whole village knows that you are my Li Luo's wife, but others don't know that we are a fake couple. Even if I want to marry a Korean woman, I have to divorce you first in the process."

"Then you write a divorce book quickly! No, why should you leave me? It should be me who leave you, and I, go there, what kind of world is this!"

"Okay, policeman, even if it is a fake couple, I can't bear to part with you, okay."

"Bah, you're a yarn! Don't forget that you are the fugitive I want to catch. Also, don't think I can only eat dry food. Do you really think I don't know the name and direction of that island?"

What? Li Luo immediately showed a look of surprise, "Do you really know? That's great, that's a large amount of military supplies!"

Cui Xiuning was a little proud, "That small island is Dachen Island. Of course, you must have never heard of it. However, I have really painted the landform maps of those islands, and I can find it directly."

Li Luo flattered: "Police, you are so powerful. If you don't take action, you will be a big deal."

This is not Li Luo's exaggeration of Cui Xiuning's role. The military supplies map is very vague. There are hundreds of islands in that area. How to find them? If you search for them in a survey, you may find them in the end, but it will take at least two or three months. It is inevitable that you will be discovered by the Yuan Dynasty navy.

The risk of exposure is too great and it is not worth it. However, even though he knew that he had enough military supplies to arm thousands of people, he could not get it, and he was really unwilling to accept it.

But now Cui Xiuning actually knows the name and location of the island, which is very different. He sets up two large ships and leads hundreds of people to drive directly over to the island to transport and load ships. He can evacuate the sea area in at most two or three days. The possibility of being discovered by the Yuan Dynasty navy is very small, and it is completely worth taking risks.

Li Luo wished he could hold Cui Xiuning and kiss her. That was worth nearly 100,000 yuan! Not to mention that the Mongolian Yuan had extremely strict control over military weapons and the private weapons trade was banned, so it would be difficult for you to buy it if you had money.

However, Li Luo quickly thought of a question.

"Police, you didn't remember it today. You already thought about it the day you got the military map, right? Why did you tell me today?"

"Simple. The fugitive has always been brave, too restless, and ambitious to dream of being overlord of the king. I am afraid that you will rebel if you get military supplies. Isn't that asking for death? Even if you arm thousands of people, how could you be the Mongols' opponent?"

"I'm going, do you think I'm stupid? Thousands of people have made Kublai Khan's rebellion? I'm using these supplies to attack Japan. Isn't it easy to use the Japanese to support the Southern Song Dynasty to attack Japan? Isn't it easy to use the blood of the Japanese to dye the top red?"

"I hate the Japanese too. But although the Japanese are very bad, they are always unambiguous when fighting. You followed the Yuan army to Japan, but the result may not be that you made meritorious service, but that you were killed by the Japanese."

"I don't believe it! As long as the Yuan army avoids hurricanes in history and successfully lands, I don't believe that those warriors can stop the Mongols. It is a regret of history that prevents Japan from trying the Mongols as well."

"Haha, why do you change the history of the Yuan army's typhoon? It's less than two years since the second conquest of the Yuan army? It's already very good if you can be promoted to the sixth and seventh rank official in less than two years. Do you think those first and second-rank commanders will follow the opinions of a sixth and seventh rank official and change the date and strategic plan of the expedition?"

"Okay, policeman, you're right. But why are you willing to tell me again now?"

"It's very simple. I just want you to know the value of this girl. I won't eat your idle meal."

Li Luo: ""

"Is there nothing to say? Then change the topic. When will the big house be built? Is it before or after the New Year?"

"We need to start construction before the Chinese New Year, otherwise where will our village heroes practice? Where can we burn bone porcelain? There must be a large closed yard so that we can do big things behind closed doors."

"Well, I think so too. Can I live on a budget of 1,000 yuan?"

"I have thought about it. The main expenses for building a large house are two items, one is labor costs and the other is building materials costs. These days, bricks, tiles and wood are not valuable, and labor is not valuable. Not to mention building materials, they cannot be saved horizontally and vertically. But labor is not allowed."

"You want to recruit the township heroes now and then use the township heroes to build a house, right?"

"The police are smart, that's what I plan. The township is my subordinate, so of course I have to listen to me. As long as they have enough food, they will not object to exert their strength. If they don't give their wages, they will thank me."

"Then you save almost half of the labor cost, a good idea, the black foreman's idea. However, I agree with the idea of ​​a fugitive."

"Of course you agree. How can women be willing to pay more? I have calculated that using the village to build a house will save at least four or five hundred stags of wages."

"So, can a house be built with five hundred stagnant coins?"

"Maximum five hundred stale."

"How long will the construction period be?"

"About two months."

"Two months will delay a lot of things. I think this way, first build the most central core area, repair our residence and porcelain kiln, and then build other areas and walls. This will not delay us moving in as soon as possible, and secondly, you can also fire bone porcelain as soon as possible."

"The police are right! Just plan this way. Our money won't last long. I will burn bone porcelain as soon as possible."

"You burn bone porcelain, and I will raise pearls."

" Raising pearls is not the main thing. Your main thing is to train the township heroes' queue. You will be the instructor and internal affairs officer of the township heroes."

"Column training is indeed very important. But what about the training instructors of cold weapons?"

"Du Lie and Wutu are both over forty years old and definitely don't want to be village heroes. I plan to hire two of them as guest instructors to train knives and guns and shoot."

"There can't be more than 300 people in the village. How do you plan to organize a team?"

"Police, I want to hear from you, after all, you have received regular military training."

"I think if the full staff can be fully organized, there will be fifty people in a team, and the team's deputy captain will be set up, and the team's flag bearer will be one. In addition to holding the flag, the team's flag bearer will also pick up the military disciplines in the team and supervise the team's deputy captain."

"I didn't expect the team flag bearer. You continue to say."

"The army is divided into six teams, four teams in the east, west, south, north, and two direct teams, and the left and right guards. Above the six teams, a command post for the Duzhai, and the chief and deputy captains and above participate in the military discussion. In addition to your Duzhai, at least one logistics chief, one military discipline chief, and one teaching chief. Such as staff, training, intelligence, medical care, and property are not required to be set up for the time being."

"What about under the team? Or what about the squad leader?"

"I think the squad leader is not suitable for this era."

"Okay, policewoman, you can design the system. I will convene eleven villages to have a meeting tomorrow and I will handle the recruitment of the township heroes first."
