"You also know that?" Tang Chun smiled mysteriously.
"Grandpa really has a vision. The general actually has that mysterious thing. It's worth it for me to be my maid." Jiang Weiwei said.
"Haha, I'll get one for you when I get the chance," Tang Chun said with a smile.
"Really?" Jiang Weiwei's eyes suddenly opened wide, as if she couldn't believe such a good thing, "The general must be joking, but how dare you, the only maid, have such extravagant hopes."
"Of course it's true. Those who can follow me, Tang Chun, will be happy. It's nothing if you have an empty bag. I'll reward you with this first." Tang Chun said and moved, and the top-grade meniscus sword he exchanged from the woman in white appeared in front of him. in the air.
Jiang Weiwei's eyes flashed as she looked at the powerful murderous aura coming out of the crescent knife.
"Are you really giving it to me, my little maid?"
"Of course, take it. You try to fuse it first." Tang Chun said, erasing his mark, and the crescent knife gently fell into Jiang Weiwei's hand.
"Thank you, General, for the reward." Jiang Weiwei was so excited that she took the crescent knife and gently flicked it and touched it. She couldn't put it down.
"It seems to be of the highest quality."
"Well, it seems that your vision is not bad." Tang Chun was sore in his heart. Although he now has a low-grade heaven-level extreme blade, the top-level weapons of the earth-level are also good. This guy cursed himself in his heart for such a thing. She didn't live up to expectations, but she was actually fascinated by beauty. She had a big mouth and gave away good things to others.
But when he thought that she was my Tang Chun's woman, his heart became balanced again. In fact, Tang Chun didn't even think about it, but the seventh-grade Fire Blue Chongtian Pill was much more precious than this crescent knife.
Jiang Weiwei went out to practice martial arts and become familiar with the sword. Tang Chun put on his clothes and walked out. He found that the fat man, the head guard, was leaning against the tent and snoring loudly like thunder. His juices were flowing all over his chest. Seeing this guy like this, Tang Chun was furious and kicked him away.
"What are you doing, my beautiful girl?" the fat man murmured in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he found Tang Chun staring at him coldly. The guy touched his fat head and said calmly, "I'm sorry. Yesterday I also drank too much at night. Fortunately, nothing happened, right?"
"If something happens, if something happens, just wait and collect my body for me." Tang Chun snorted angrily.
"Hey, I know a beautiful woman came in to accompany you. So, I went to sleep with peace of mind. I don't want to disturb your good things." Unexpectedly, the fat man actually laughed.
"Yadi. Did you know you let her in?" Tang Chun choked hard.
"It's not an assassin, she's Old Man Jiang's granddaughter. She's beautiful. It's a pity that she doesn't like Fatty Me. Brother Chun, if you don't live happily, your next life will be in vain.
You are an iron-blooded person on the battlefield, and you can lose your head at any time. What's wrong with a girl coming over to stretch you out during the break? Look at that guy Bao Yi. He looks upright on the surface, but in reality he is pretty much the same. The women with different surnames in Jiuhuan Valley probably gave him a lot of trouble. I don’t know. Anyway, this guy is not a good guy." The fat man laughed dryly.
"Fat man, are you trying to kill me behind my back? When did I ever play with a woman?" Bao Yi suddenly popped up, stared at the fat man fiercely, and clenched his fists loudly, as if he wanted to teach the fat man a lesson.
"Bao, why are you staring at me? What are your intentions?" The fat man's face turned a little red. He ignored Bao Yi's threat. With Tang Chun here, Bao Yi would never dare to do anything to him.
"You're staring at your ass. If I have such leisure, I might as well practice more. I passed by last night and found that you slept like a pig. Even if an enemy comes in, you won't wake up at all. I've been staring at you all night. Why don't you still
You're just a villain for talking bad about me behind my back." Bao Yi said sarcastically.
"Isn't what I said true? It's impossible for you not to play with women." The fat man said harshly.
"If you don't believe me, try hitting me a few times." Bao Yi snorted coldly.
"You clearly know that my skills are lower than yours, Fatty. That's just asking for trouble." Fatty puffed up his chest.
"I have mastered the boy's skill. General, you will know after you try it," Bao Yi said.
"Ah. It's...impossible...you don't have a woman." The fat man was speechless.
"Didn't I tell you to try it? You will know this boy's skill once you try it." Bao Yi sneered.
The fat man lowered his head, but Zhuan'er said harshly: "That's because you have to practice boy skills so you don't dare to flirt with women. In fact, you have already thought about this."
"Fart!" Bao Yi was annoyed.
"Okay, let's check in and chat." Tang Chun waved his hand.
The two guys looked at each other angrily and sat down.
"Although more than 2,000 Jiangjiazhuang people have been newly recruited, the burden on our shoulders will be even heavier," Tang Chun said.
"Yes, there are more than 2,000 more mouths, no, more than 10,000 more mouths, and you have to be responsible for eating, drinking, and diarrhea. Where does this silver come from? Moreover, it is difficult to find silver even to make a batch of military uniforms for them.
Those with high skills need to be equipped with armor, and they all have to be equipped with weapons and money." Bao Yi was worried.
"Hey, it's attracted a bunch of beggars. It's really a headache. Let's rob the rich and give to the poor." The fat man patted his head and came up with a bad idea.
"It just so happens that a large number of Ziyiwei masters are not in Fuzhou City. You can report to them after you rob a few." Tang Chun hummed.
"How can we get money if we don't rob, and we need it urgently." The fat man was in trouble.
"How about asking Li Bei to sell calligraphy and painting again?" Bao Yi said.
"It's no use, this Taigu County is also very poor. There are only a few people who know how to appreciate poems and songs. Fuzhou City is about the same." The fat man hummed.
"Alas, the Yuanshi has been exhausted. The silver has also been spent. Basically all that can be pledged is these clothes." Tang Chun sighed, thinking about ways to make money.
Fatty and Bao Yi were also at a loss. At this time, Li Bei came in and asked Fatty in a low voice, but also looked helpless.
After a long time, Tang Chun suddenly slammed the table and said, "Yes, isn't Daozi County my fiefdom?"
"Of course, the Holy One has issued an imperial edict." Li Bei said.
"Okay, let's go to Daozixian County to mortgage and exchange for banknotes." Tang Chun said.
"This is inappropriate, Brother Tang. This Daozi County is your first fiefdom. Moreover, the Holy Emperor also made you a baron.
Once the fiefdom is lost, it will be difficult to protect your title. Now that you are guilty, it will be especially difficult to obtain the title and fiefdom.
This is the stepping stone for you to become a noble disciple again. You must not mortgage it. If you cannot get back a large amount of silver, you will lose your fiefdom and title, and you will have nothing. Moreover, the impact will not be good." Li
Bei said.
"There is no need to discuss it. This matter is settled. The plan for now is to recover Daozi County. If this matter cannot be done, my head will be at stake first. What's the use of having an empty fiefdom?" Tang Chun was determined.
"Even the people in the bank don't dare to ask for it. Although this fiefdom is yours, it is now in the hands of the Fire Orchid Kingdom. How can they spend piles of money to exchange for a fiefdom that is only empty but has no substance? Of course.
, if it belongs to the Dayu Dynasty, that’s another matter." Fatty said.
"Not necessarily. Let's ask for a slightly lower price. Since Daozi County has been recovered since I came down, and it represents the will of the Holy Emperor, Daozi County will be recovered no matter how long it takes. At that time, it will be the time for Yinzhuang to make money.
Daozi County is a large county, with a population of more than two million. If such a large area is sold to those wealthy people, they will make a lot of money." Tang Chun shook his head.
"Since Brother Tang has decided, I will handle this matter. There is a branch of Shunfeng Bank in Taigu County. As long as the negotiation is finalized, Fuzhou will use the flying eagle to carry the banknotes. Or use the flying eagle to deliver them.
"Shunfeng Bank is one of the largest banks in the country," Li Bei said. Then he took a few people and went straight to Taigu County. The next day, Tang Chun and the fat man were applying for military enlistment for Jiangjiazhuang people.
formalities.
After a busy day, everything was finally done. Fei Diao sent a letter to the General Military Yamen for approval. In the evening, Li Bei also came back in a hurry, saying that Shunfeng Bank had agreed to mortgage Daozi County. The General Mortgage Manager
The limit is as high as 400,000 taels of silver.
This was an astronomical figure in the Dayu Dynasty, because the seventh-grade county magistrate's annual salary was only a few dozen taels of silver. Of course, gray income was not included.
With the banknotes in hand, Tang Chun immediately arranged for Bao Yi and Li Bei to go out separately and take the Jiang family's masters to nearby states and counties to purchase large quantities of tents, horses, grain and grass, medicinal materials, clothing, armor, weapons...
The troops and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
The team was expanded here, and dozens of teams with a base of 50 people were suddenly integrated to strengthen training and prepare to implement the harassment attack plan.
"Oh, I wish I had more money." Tang Chun sighed as he looked at the Jiang family members who were training enthusiastically.
"For the time being, we can finally get through it, but recovering Daozi County is a long-term process. If the war is prolonged to about a year, our silver taels will not be enough. Now only half of the 400,000 taels are left.
The reserve can last up to four months. The biggest problem is that we are still short of innate masters," Li Bei said.
"It's hard to find a master. Recruiting an innate Dzogchen expert costs tens of thousands of taels of silver a year, and it's also going to the battlefield. It's estimated that tens of thousands of people are still unwilling to come, so how can we afford it?" Tang Chun said,
"What I mean is that I want to buy a few flying eagles that can be used in battle. Also, I need to build a few cannons to attack with force."
"Cannon. What is a cannon?" The fat man couldn't help but ask.
"It is to install something on a giant vehicle that can throw gunpowder as big as a fist a long distance and then explode. I got the secret recipe from an ancient tomb. Let's trial-produce one to see how powerful it is?" Tang Chun said, planning to make one.
A homemade cannon from the Qing Dynasty.
Tang Chun didn't have the ability to produce precision-guided cannons like those in modern society. Homemade cannons like those in the Qing Dynasty could still be produced. Of course, Tang Chun's home-made cannons required a longer range and a more powerful explosion.
Otherwise, it's useless if you can't even kill a 10th-level master with inner energy protection. Moreover, the 7th- and 8th-level experts in the army can throw gunpowder bombs thousands of meters away by throwing them with their hands.
Experts can throw it thousands of meters away without any problem.
Therefore, if the range is too short, it will be useless. This guy took out the production drawings that had been drawn long ago, and Tang Chun and the others worked together to explain it in detail.
"This secret mechanism technique is so amazing. It can actually turn some iron lumps into master attacks. It's amazing." The fat man admired.
"It is better to add the technique of refining inner energy. In this way, the strike force will be higher and the range will be longer." Li Bei suggested.
