The Reborn Lady is Farming

Chapter 1325: Looking at the world outside (3)

  Xiaofu was afraid that the little leopard would lose his money, so he personally helped to calculate the cost of recruiting horses.

  —he doesn't have much money!

  Xiaofu has spent a lot of money in the past three years. He is only at a slight disadvantage against several little princes. Half of it depends on his own mind, and the other half depends on money.

  The prince has power in the palace, he has money, they use their power to oppress people to bully him, and he throws money back.

  The palace servants in the study and the imperial kitchen have all accepted his bribes.

  Fortunately, he is really rich. There are 22 taels per month. In addition to the returns from the investment in sea trade, pearl sea farms, etc., and the mother's distressed help from time to time, the most important thing Xiaofu lacks is money.

   But there is no shortage of it and he doesn't use it like this.

   Besides, it has become a practice for the children of the three families to do charity work. Every year, he has to give a part of the money to the person in charge of Baoxiong Academy to help poor students to study.

   Therefore, Xiaofu found that he seemed to be poor after such a ruckus.

   In order not to let the little leopard waste his money, he was very careful to find an abacus to help him calculate the cost of recruiting troops.

  Then the two children discovered that they were so poor that they could only build a team of less than 500 people with so much money.

  The cost of hiring soldiers and buying horses was asked by the captain of the guards. These people were all members of the military and knew all about them.

  Xiaofu stared at the cost of the 100 horses and said, "I don't think you should buy so many horses, and weapons, armor, food and grass are not counted."

  Little Leopard snapped his fingers and said, wanting to cry without tears: "If you count those, then I can't even hire 200 people..."

   In fact, hiring people is not expensive. What is expensive is equipment, such as horses, weapons, armor, military uniforms, and food and grass consumed.

  Little Leopard looked at the number on the paper that was enough for a family to be rich for ten lifetimes, and found that he couldn't even pull a team of 500 people.

   He sighed: "No wonder the father and mother often say that the war hurts the people, we have so much money and so on, let alone ordinary people."

  Xiaofu tilted his head and asked, "Then are you still going to grab the site?"

  Little Leopard patted the table and said, "Yes!"

   "Since 500 people can't be hired, then we'll just hire 40 or 50 people, so that the funds will be more abundant."

  Xiaofu twitched the corners of his mouth and asked, "Then go to a group fight?"

  Forty or fifty people. Every year before the village, there are hundreds of people who fight for water, so are you going to grab the territory and conquer the world, or are you going to fight with each other?

   Qi Haoran, who was about to convince his son when he walked to the door, twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, turned around and left. He only had the ambition to hire forty or fifty people. Are they still afraid that he would make a mess?

   Let them make trouble.

  Little Leopard said confidently: "Even if there are only forty or fifty people, I can crush foreigners. If you don't believe me, just watch."

  Xiaofu certainly doesn't believe it.

  Little Leopard said with an ambitious plan: "Knowing yourself and knowing the enemy can help you win a hundred battles. I'm still young, and the lurking plan will last eight or nine years. When I figure out the foreigners, it will be easy to conquer them."

  Little Leopard also wrote to his brothers about this idea to seek their support. Of course, in addition to moral support, the most important thing is financial support.

   Xiaobao couldn't help laughing when he received the letter from his cousin, and said to Xiaoxiong, "Little Leopard is really ambitious, but I don't know if he can still remember what he said today in eighty-nine years."

Children always have many dreams, but they may not be able to realize them all when they grow up, but Xiaobao has an encouraging attitude towards them, so he wrote a letter to the little leopard with a good temper, saying that he really wants to go to the West in the future, and he will use his brother's attitude Supporting some of his property in name.

  Xiaoxiong rolled his eyes and said that if he wants to understand foreigners, he must persevere. The first thing to do is to learn their language, characters, their culture, and the relationship between countries...

  Xiaobao was startled when he saw how specific he wrote, and asked, "Are you really planning to use troops against the West?"

Xiaoxiong said solemnly: "If people don't offend me, I naturally won't offend them, but we still have to take precautions. Pedro has dominated the sea area around Guangzhou for more than ten years. The coast is also gradually being controlled by the Westerners, which shows their ambitions."

"There are more and more foreigners coming to Daqi, and Daqi is rich in resources. Even the seven-year-old leopard looks down on foreigners. You can see how different their lives are compared to Daqi. You think they will be willing to look at Daqi people. Are you rich and comfortable, while you suffer?"

  Xiaobao gradually became serious.

Xiaoxiong continued: "Even though there are many things in the West that are not as good as my Daqi, there are also advantages in weapons such as cannons and guns, and the strength of the other party's ships is far higher than my Daqi. If the other party uses ships to transport soldiers in Daqi If we exchange fire with us on the land, then I will definitely lose a lot."

"so……"

"Since the little leopard has the heart, it's better to let him prepare early. Although he is young now, he will grow up one day," Xiao Xiong said lightly: "If the Western countries really conflict with me, then The battlefield should be moved to the Western Ocean, although the distance is long and the supply is somewhat difficult, the impact on the people of Daqi is the lowest, and the losses are also the lowest."

  Xiaobao was silent for a while, and asked, "Will the Western countries really have a bad relationship with me?"

Little Bear pulled the corner of his mouth and said: "Britain, France and other countries have been urging us to give them a place for their fleet to dock, in which not only judicial power, but also taxation are all managed by themselves, which is equivalent to splitting in our country. A place to establish another country, and some officials in the court still think that it is only a small space, whether it is a gift or a lease, so as to make the Western countries surrender..."

   Little Bear pouted and said, "You say, do they have any ambitions? Will they be tempted to attack me one day?"

It's not that Xiao Xiong doesn't love face, and since he was a child, "money oppression" let him know that the most beautiful but profit. For them, the leased land required by Britain, France and other countries is not even the size of a small village, which is so small that it can be ignored. However, For some countries in Europe, such a small place may be a country.

The most important thing is that Xiaoxiong was educated by Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling since he was a child. The idea of ​​"national sovereignty cannot be violated" is engraved in his bones, not to mention the area of ​​a small village, even a step of land will not be allowed. .

   In order to get back the lost land with Daikin, the border was moved by inches. Why should their descendants give away or rent out the land?

  If you want to dock a ship, you can go through inspection like all passing ships and queue up to enter the port. If you want to get privileges, there are no windows.

  Xiaoxiong is guarding against the Western countries, and encourages his younger brother to study and understand the Western Ocean to prepare for future wars.

   But the little lion and tiger head were excited, and their younger brother expressed their willingness to fight with him, and immediately sent a box of silver notes.
