Under the money offensive of the Xiao Duan family, all the farmers forgot the original cause of the incident, and also forgot the oppression that the Xiao Duan family had oppressed them at the beginning. It happened from time to time, forcing the trilogy of the Bai family to go around for emergency.

Compared with those farmers who were attracted by the benefits, Bai Su seemed very calm, and immediately offered a high price for Zizhu Village that no one could refuse. Even Huo Yunshu, who had always been calm, received the news, I couldn't help being surprised, and then rushed to the county with all the people, not even the village.

"One hundred thousand guan!" The group had just arrived when they were drawn into the room by Chu Ning. Qing'er didn't even have time to take a sip of water, so she rushed over immediately, tugging at Chu Ning's sleeve and asked repeatedly: "Then Master Bai, Are you really talking about one hundred thousand strings?"

"It's absolutely true!" Chu Rou was also red-eyed by the huge sum of money that Bai Su offered, and she couldn't wait for Chuning to answer, so she said it first: "Master Bai told me that as long as we can eliminate Blackbeard, one hundred thousand coins, she will give it immediately!"

"Really?" Compared to Chu Rou and Qing'er's crazy expression, Huo Yunshu seemed quite rational at the moment, he didn't care about Chu Rou's words, he just asked Chu Ning.

"It's true, but it's not true." Chuning poured a bowl of water for everyone, and then got the three of them to sit down around the bench at the square table, and then slowly said: "The one hundred thousand coins from Master Bai , what she bought was the lives of all the pirates in the entire Blackbeard Water Village, and she also invited the 'Tianwang Village' to take action."

This means that the one hundred thousand coins cannot be eaten by Zizhuzhai alone. If Tianwangzhai makes a move, then how to distribute the profits after that will depend on the contribution of the two parties.

Huo Yunshu was drinking water, when he heard what Chu Ning said, he gently put down the earthen bowl in his hand, thought for a while and said: "The Master Bai is entangled with the Xiao Duan family with one hand, and the other hand has reached out to Blackbeard's Go ahead, her appetite is really not small."

"How could her appetite be small? According to my guess, it seems that it has reached the point where even Uncle Huo can't predict it."

After speaking, Chuning got up and put away the earthen bowls that several people drank dry, took out a roll of drawings from the shelf behind him and spread them out on the table.

Huo Yunshu glanced at it, and blurted out: "Map?!"

"I found it from the county government." Chu Ning laid out the blueprint and found Huang County on it, then Huo Yunshu said: "Look, Uncle Huo, in the east of my Huang County, from Penglai to the sea, you can reach it." Penglai Island, this island is now occupied by Blackbeard, if we wipe out Blackbeard, then who will this Tuoji Island fall into?"

"Of course it's in Bai Su's hands." Huo Yunshu almost didn't think about it, and continued blurting out: "If she gets Penglai Island and builds a port stationed on it, she can easily let merchant ships transport grain and cloth to Liaodong County and Goguryeo."

"Not only Liaodong County and Goguryeo, but also Silla, Baekje, Shiwei, Waguo... Her merchant ships can also go there." Chuning continued: "Not only can she sell grain and cloth to these places People, you can also transport ginseng, jade, agate, gold and silver ore from these places back, and then sell these things to places outside Dongnai County at ten times and a hundred times the price."

Hearing this, even Qing'er couldn't help but gasp. To her, one hundred thousand coins had already piled up into a mountain. But after hearing what Chuning said, she saw such a large area to the east. Every day, there will be merchant ships from the Bai family passing by, and they will open the shop of the Bai family, thinking about the gold, silver and copper coins that come and go, and feel that the number will be countless.

And what Chuning can predict is that if Bai Su really defeats the Xiao Duan family and wins Penglai Island, it will become like a phoenix traveling to the sky and a dragon returning to the sea. In less than 20 years, her business empire will not only spread all over Daqing The dynasty, even the farther west and south, will also have the footprints of her Baijia firm.

"In this way, wouldn't all the wealth in this world belong to her Bai Su?"

Huo Yunshu couldn't help murmuring, and immediately reminded everyone: "Now is not the time to think about Bai Su, what we need to think about now is what Zizhu Village can gain in this scuffle."

"Isn't one hundred thousand coins not enough?" Chu Rou and Qing'er said in unison, as if the one hundred thousand copper coins had already entered their pockets.

Chu Ning was angry and funny, looked at the man whose eyes were blinded by copper coins, and asked Huo Yunshu: "Uncle Huo, how many brothers do we have now?"

"There are about 110 strong men who can be the main force, and there are more than [-] of them. They are all old people from Zizhu Village. They are all characters who have been trained for more than a month and have seen blood. There are also some from Qinglong Village. , and some small villages that were waiting for the wind to fall, but there are probably nearly five hundred people who follow the wind to fight against the wind."

"That is to say, we have nearly a thousand people to fight?" Hearing what Huo Yunshu said, Chuning was very happy. She automatically ignored Qing'er's distressed expression and took out a pamphlet. Put it in the middle of the table, and said: "I plan to select and reorganize these people starting tomorrow."

"Should it be reorganized according to the four beams and eight pillars, or according to the military system of the court?"

In fact, the bandits also have an organization. The four beams and eight pillars refer to the backbone members of the bandit den. For example, the head of the Qinglong Village is called Tongtian Liang, and the second head is called Tuo Tianliang. That's why.

And if it is reorganized according to the military system of the imperial court, the current number of people in Zizhuzhai has exceeded the amount that Chu Ning, the official title of 'capital', can take. That's why Huo Yun asked this question.

However, when he saw clearly what was written in Ning's pamphlet, he couldn't help asking: "This...is not the military system of the imperial court..."

"Of course this is not the military system of the imperial court." This is the military system of later generations borrowed by Chuning. Of course, she will not go into details with Huo Yunshu, so she just smiled and continued: "Uncle Huo please refer to it, Is it feasible to act in this way?"

"Ten people form a squad, three squads form a squadron, three squadrons form a squadron, and three squadrons form a battalion..." Huo Yunshu mumbled a few times with his eyes closed, then suddenly opened them, and said loudly: "So, even good!"

The reason why Huo Yunshu liked it was not because of the problems with this system, but because he thought of Chuning's intentions.He knew that Chu Ning now holds the official position of the court. If she also uses the official system of the court to order "corporate chiefs and special chiefs", it will inevitably be implemented in the future, but if she uses her own private system, It is no longer difficult for people under this system to be used by others.

Chu Rou usually would not raise any objections to things that Huo Yunshu agreed with, and if things went smoothly, she became one of the three captains.

This time, Zizhu Village was fully operational. In the morning of the next day, all men, women, and children gathered in the open space outside the city. Men over the age of 14 and under the age of 50 were included in the establishment, a total of 80 540 people, 270 people led by Chu Rou as the vanguard, 270 people led by Chu Ning as the central army, and [-] people led by Huo Yunshu as the rear guard.

The squadron leader, squad leader, and sub-team leader under the captain are all selected from the old people in Zizhuzhai. After more than a month of training, they have already possessed basic discipline and teamwork spirit. During this period of time, Chuning has managed to eat and feed them, and has also raised them a little bit of strength. Although they can't read, they are still competent enough to be the most basic managers.

As for the smallest team formation, Chuning spent a lot of thought, and finally decided that there must be less than three people from the same village in each team, so as to prevent them from running around and making trouble.

After spending a whole morning compiling the register of 80 people, under the eager eyes of everyone looking forward to lunch, Chuning did not announce the disbandment of the team, Accompanied by Sun Xing, he personally boarded a mound and looked down at these ragged men.

"I think everyone is wondering why I, Chu Ning, have left everyone here when it's time for dinner." Chu Ning pressed his palms down, and immediately fell silent, and then slowly said: "Because, I Today, Chuning has good news to tell everyone."

After finishing speaking, Chuning waved his hand, and saw a few men with round waists and thick arms carrying some bamboo baskets and placed them beside the mound. Some sharp-eyed people had already seen the things stacked in the bamboo baskets, and couldn't help being dumbfounded. Dang Chang exclaimed in surprise: "New clothes! They are all new clothes!"

The brand-new black clothes were neatly folded and placed in the bamboo basket. Even though it attracted everyone's attention, Chuning even heard the sound of swallowing, and those eyes looking at her changed instantly. There are desires, begging, flattery, and coldness...

"I, Zizhuzhai, have never liked eating alone. I, Chu Ning, tell you frankly that these fabrics are all seized from Zizhuzhai. I have asked someone to sew them into new clothes. I distributed them to you in public today for Let you see with your own eyes how my Zizhu village treats the brothers."

After Chu Ning finished speaking, Huo Yunshu stepped forward and called out his name according to the roster, and everyone whose name was called came up and got their clothes, and bowed down to Chuning and the others excitedly.

Chen Fu was also one of the people whose name was read. He injured his arm a few days ago. He thought he was a waste, but he didn't expect that he was really a lucky person, and he survived these days. Now that the wound has healed a lot, it is obvious that there is no need to worry about the future. I thought that I could fight with the two masters a few more times and eat a few full meals, but I didn't expect that happiness would come so suddenly.

First, he was called by Mr. Huo and told him that he won the title of a small captain and could lead [-] brothers; then he was called by the second leader, who personally encouraged him for a long time; — Not just him, but several brothers who defected from Wild Wolf Village like him at the beginning, followed by brothers who had seen blood in the fight, all got new clothes!

Chen Fu, who returned to the queue after receiving the clothes, was so excited that he couldn't stop for a long time. He secretly glanced at the brothers who came from the Wild Wolf Village like him, and saw that they couldn't put it down, and even violated the new clothes. After giving the order, he said secretly: "Zizhu Village is really different from other villages, it really treats us as one of our own."

Hearing this, Chen Fu nodded fiercely. He also felt that Zizhu Village was different from other villages. At least, in other villages, defectors like them would not be allowed to eat enough and wear new clothes—this is For the first time since he could remember, he got new clothes and could wear his own new clothes for the first time.

About half a quarter of an hour later, nearly two hundred pieces of new clothes had been handed out. Some of the people present were happy and some were sad. They were naturally happy when they received the new clothes, but those who didn’t get them all envied and envied them. When the village owner finished distributing the clothes, he said that in the past few days, there is another big business to be done. As long as this business is completed, everyone can get new clothes.

In this way, everyone was envious and jealous, and there were even some daring people who often asked when they would set off, and he voluntarily took the lead.

Chuning gave him an official smile, and then announced the disbandment. The women, children, old and weak had already laid out the meals. These people had obviously received simple training during the past few days in Zizhu Village, and they were able to spontaneously queued up.

Chu Ning led Qing'er and Huo Yunshu to follow behind Chu Rou, and they also lined up at the back of the long line. When they arrived, there was not much food in the barrel, and she didn't dislike it. The woman who was in charge of distributing the food With amazed eyes, she took half a bowl of rice that she scraped out from the bottom of the bucket, picked up another empty earthen bowl, scooped half a bowl of Tuixiu soup from the wooden basin next to it, and went to the side to look for it. He sat down on a bearded stool and began to eat.

That woman used to be from Yelangzhai, and her husband had already died in a business operation. If she hadn't had a younger brother to take care of her, she would have already become a dead bone.

A month ago, when she heard that Zizhuzhai was accepting people, she ran here with her younger brother. She thought she was just jumping from one fire pit to another, at most to get a few bites of food, but unexpectedly, she actually lived like this. An unimaginably happy day.

She has heard people say this second village master many times, whether it is from the mouths of those men, or from the mouths of the same women and children, saying that she is the one chosen by the gods. The gods not only dreamed of teaching her to learn The skill of making brushes also taught her many things, such as this sleeve-sleeve soup, which the Bishop of Erzhai taught everyone to cook.

As long as a radish is cut into cubes, some minced meat is added, an egg is beaten, and a handful of wild vegetables are chopped, it can be cooked in a big pot, and a handful of salt is added, and the color, fragrance and taste are complete. The people in the village , what I like the most is that after eating a large bowl of white rice with salt vegetables, and then drinking such a bowl of hot soup, I am happier than a god.

After living here for a period of time, this woman also believed in the rumors circulating in the village. She also felt that the second village master must be a fairy-like person, otherwise, how could he have so many ideas? , managed so many people in the whole village in an orderly manner. Not only did they have food to keep them full, but they also had hot soup to drink, and now they even bought new clothes for everyone. I heard that not only those rough guys have new clothes. They, the old and the weak, women and children, can wear new clothes...

Thinking of this, the woman felt very regretful. She never expected that the legendary second village master, who was like a fairy, would eat half a bowl of rice scraped from the bottom of the bucket from her today, and still eat it so happily Well, she has seen those village owners eat meat and drink heavily. If she had known that the second village owner would stay here for dinner today, she should let the women behind cook a pot of delicious rice, and then find a way to clean it up. A few good dishes...

Chu Ning didn't know what this woman was thinking. When he took the rice, he politely thanked him, then went to the nearby stool to eat and got up, finished half a bowl of rice in two or three strokes, and drank the The bowl of clear soup used to deceive the mouth, after feeling the hunger in the belly, he got up and started talking to the men around him.

Some of these men are old people from Zizhu Village, and some are newcomers. It is the first time they have met Chun Ning, the rumored Second Village Master. Now, they are relaxed when they hear her speak some ordinary words with a smile on her face. After they got down, they all talked about their own experiences, such as the owner of the 'Tianwang Village' who likes to wear a ghost mask, such as Blackbeard who likes to grab food and women.

Chuning listened to the different opinions with a smile on her face, and then said a few words at the right time, causing one topic after another, but in her heart, she had already recorded the words from these people by category, about Tianwangzhai and Blackbeard They are all important points, and what Chuning cared about the most is that several of them said that they had seen archers in Blackbeard Pirates.

In this era, bows and arrows are the main mobile long-range strike weapons, which are equivalent to the machine guns of later generations. If Blackbeard had a squadron of archers, then Zizhu Village and Tianwang Village would actually be unnecessary. It must also be a defeat.

Fortunately, Huo Yunshu and Chu Rou said that although archers are powerful, it is not easy to develop an excellent archer. Therefore, it is conceivable that there should not be many archers in Blackbeard. In terms of numbers, the two sides still have a few battles.

After a short rest after lunch, in the rest of the time, Chu Ning took Sun Xing and lined up with the crowd, listening to Chu Rou's slogans, carrying out serious drills with bamboo guns, while Huo Yunshu took some of those who couldn't The women, the old and the weak who went to the battlefield cut down wood, cut weeds, and built simple shacks.

Chu Ning still stayed to eat dinner with everyone. After eating, he took Sun Xing to the county government office and told Wang Yi about the black beard's bow and arrow. Of course, she exaggerated it several times. Wang Yi was so frightened that his head was covered with cold sweat, as if Blackbeard would attack the city tonight, he quickly wrote a letter and asked Chuning to go get the armament by himself.

Of course, Chu Ning would not be polite. Anyway, the entire county government is under her control now. With Wang Yi's hand letter, she went directly to the guns to collect them and found more than [-] wooden poles. Iron-tipped guns, more than a hundred rusty ring-shoulders, dozens of bows and arrows, and old leather armor.As soon as Chu Rou saw the leather armor, she was immediately pleasantly surprised. She took a leather armor and put it on on the spot, stabbed it a few times with the ring knife, and found that it could also play a protective role.

Regardless of Chu Rou's happy expression, Chuning immediately went to the inn where Bai Su lived after taking over the county government office. Regarding the matter of shaving, I only said that I got the news that Blackbeard had raised many archers, and also exaggerated the facts. I don’t know if Bai Su understands these martial arts, but her calmness made Chuning admire her very much.

"So, Chu Dutou came late at night." Bai Su lightly tapped the table with her fingertips, her long and narrow eyes locked on Chuning's face, and said slowly, "Do you want me to find weapons for you?"

"Of course!" Chu Ning didn't change his face, and the lion opened his mouth: "A thousand iron spears, a thousand leather armors... two hundred good bows, and twenty thousand feathered arrows!"

Apparently, Bai Su didn't expect that Chu Ning would raise the price so shamelessly, but she, who originally planned to pay back the money on the ground, lost her words on the spot, or she didn't want to talk to this female bandit at all. , wrote a few lines, and the attendant's green ink dried the ink, and handed it to Chuning.

Chuning glanced at it, and saw that it said one hundred iron guns, ten pairs of leather armor, twenty pairs of fine bows, and two thousand feathered arrows.

Of course, Chu Ning refused to agree to the loss of so much in one round trip. Bai Su finally agreed to provide [-] iron guns, [-] pairs of leather armor, [-] pairs of good bows, and [-] feathered arrows.

Although it was far from Chuning's expectations, at least he didn't have to bring people to carry bamboo spears to fight desperately, which was a kind of reluctant gain.

When midnight was approaching, Chu Ning rushed back to the shack from Bai Xian, found Huo Yunshu, the two talked in the room for a while, after Chu Ning returned to the room to rest, Huo Yunshu chatted with Chu Rou who was on the night patrol Greeting, then secretly took a few confidantes away by night.
