With the addition of the Hummer Jeep, the next day's trip was much more comfortable.
Tang Zheng leaned back on the seat comfortably, and the military dogs around him looked much more pleasing to the eye than yesterday.
Setting off at five in the morning, the convoy finally returned to Tailai Town at eight in the morning.
Seeing the hotel where the survivors lived from a distance, Tang Zheng did not return to the hotel immediately.
Before coming back, he had already spoken to Luo Feitong through the walkie-talkie. There was nothing unusual in Tailai Town these days.
Tang Zheng asked Luo Fei to leave the hotel and is now waiting for him at the police station.
Tang Zheng decided to move.
After all, living with those survivors was a lot of inconvenience. Not only for them, but also with Xu Jingqiu, his father, and his sister, it was also inconvenient for Tang Zheng.
At the very least, the fact that soldiers are constantly joining the army is not so easy to explain.
Tang Zheng asked his sister to take a few classmates to meet his father at the restaurant first, and then stay there.
He took the motorcade directly to the police station.
After the convoy got off the bus, Tang Zheng immediately ordered the unloading of the vehicles.
When they returned to the border of Qinzhou, the correspondent had asked Luo Fei to prepare cooking utensils. They wanted to cook the mutated beast meat as much as possible and then make it into dried meat.
After all, it is still summer, and meat is not easy to store for too long. Making dried meat is good for preservation.
When he arrived at the security station, Tang Zheng immediately used the hundreds of funds he had just collected to buy three cooking soldiers.
Wang Haihe, the former cook, has become a one-star cook after this period of cooking training.
The remaining three cooks have now been assigned to Wang Haihe's command, and an incomplete cooking class has been established.
Fortunately, Tang Zheng's company was still far from being full, and four cooks were enough.
After the cook produced it, he immediately devoted himself nervously to making dried meat.
For a moment, the building of the police station was filled with the aroma of cooking meat.
Tang Zheng came to the director's office and asked the soldiers to carry some supplies.
These supplies are some rifles and pistols. These firearms were eliminated by Tang Zheng's troops, such as 98K rifles.
These firearms are no longer used by Tang Zheng and the others, but they cannot be thrown away. Tang Zheng didn't know what to do with them for a while.
Correspondent Wu Di followed Tang Zheng, quickly cleaned the office, and then placed the radio station on the table.
"General, after returning to Qinzhou, I heard a message on the radio."
"what news?"
"The survivors in Qinzhou are discussing on the radio channel to hold a material trade fair. They are currently in the discussion stage."
"Oh! Material transaction?" Tang Zheng heard this and immediately became interested.
"Yes, General, Qinzhou now has seven larger survival bases, and dozens of small and medium-sized bases. These have all been connected to the radio. Now they have basically obtained generators and can generate electricity independently. , but the pressure to survive is still not small.”
"For example, in some bases, the place he occupies has machinery and vehicles, but there is a lack of food."
"Some bases have coal and wood, but they lack weapons."
"Some have sufficient food, but lack of personnel and low self-defense capabilities."
"In short, these bases all have shortcomings of one kind or another, so this trading conference was born. They are currently discussing the time and location of the trading conference, as well as the qualifications to participate."
Tang Zheng heard this and asked: "What qualifications are needed to participate in the meeting?"
"I heard that it requires an armed force of at least fifty people. Without this force, it will be difficult to move forward in the apocalypse. Even if we know the location, we may not be able to arrive with supplies."
Tang Zheng asked again: "What do they lack in general? What are they prepared to trade for?"
"The most lacking thing is of course weapons. Secondly, there are people buying the meat of mutated beasts. Then there are some useful cars and so on. As for the various trading products, almost everything is available."
"Oh, by the way, there are still people buying crystals, but it seems there are still many people who don't know what crystals are."
Hearing this, Tang Zheng felt that an opportunity had come.
He doesn't have much else here, but he only has as many weapons as he needs.
There is also mutated beast meat. This time Tang Zheng brought back more than thirty tons. However, Tang Zheng did not intend to mainly sell this thing. It was okay to take out a little bit as a gimmick.
It's just that Tang Zheng doesn't think much of ordinary trading commodities. All he needs is gold and silver.
"In this way, you can announce on the radio now that the Tailai Town base has been officially established. Our armed forces... let's say a hundred people. We can provide weapons to the outside world, mainly Type 05 revolvers. Pistol bullets, 98K rifle, rifle bullets.”
"Also, grenades have also been added. These are what others are in urgent need of, so that's all for now."
Correspondent Wu Di recorded everything one by one.
"General, what should we acquire?"
"Well, mainly gold and silver, you can also add some daily necessities to hide people's eyes."
"Then how do we price it?"
"The 05 revolver we buy is priced at 20 gold, so the price is 200 grams of gold to exchange for one. The 98K we buy is 50 gold, and the price is 500 grams of gold to exchange for one. There are also hand grenades, which are purchased for 5 gold, and the price is 100 grams of gold to exchange for one. .”
"There are also bullets. One gram of gold is exchanged for one pistol bullet, and two grams of gold is exchanged for one rifle bullet."
"If you don't have gold, silver and gems can be used, but the price will be lower."
Tang Zheng basically paid ten times the original price.
He even multiplied the grenades twenty times, after all, no one had such things at the moment.
As for the gold, he wasn't worried at all.
According to what was said on the radio, those large survivor bases had thousands of people, or even nearly 10,000 people.
With so many people, even if they just pick it off from their bodies, they can still pull out a large amount of jewelry.
If you want more weapons and bullets, then go collect them. With so many people, collecting a village should be more than enough.
He has limited manpower, so he can just use the power of other survivors to make a big deal.
Correspondent Wu Di quickly followed Tang Zheng's instructions and entered the radio channel for survivors to chat.
"Ahem...!"
A signal and sound that had never appeared in Qinzhou appeared.
This immediately attracted the attention of the big guys in Qinzhou who listened to the radio to obtain information from the outside world.
"Fellow compatriots in Qinzhou City, I am very happy to be able to talk to you here. I am Wu Di, the correspondent at the Tailai Town Base."
"Our Tailai Town is located in the northwest of Mingshui County, Qinzhou City, seventy kilometers away from Mingshui."
"Our leader, Tang Zheng, is based in Tailai Town. He currently has an armed force of more than a hundred people, and the number of survivors is also over a hundred. We sincerely invite the remaining survivors to join us and grow together."
Hearing this, almost all the Qinzhou bosses who listened to the broadcast scoffed with disdain.
Go to a survival base in a small town. The total number of armed personnel and survivors is only over 200. What qualifications do you have to recruit new survivors?
But what the correspondent said next surprised them.
"The Tailai Town Base will also participate in this trading conference. The main commodities we want to trade include a number of Type 05 revolvers, a number of Mauser 98K rifles, a large number of pistol and rifle bullets, and a number of hand grenades."
Before he finished speaking, the entire Qinzhou survivor channel started quarreling.
"Is it true? Is this Tailai Town base reliable?"
"I've never heard of Tang Zheng. He sounds like he's quite capable. What did you do before?"
"You must speak responsibly. If you take what you say seriously, then our Chamber of Commerce base will reserve a hundred rifles, twenty pistols, and a large number of bullets and grenades."
"We also need to reserve fifty rifles and five thousand rounds of ammunition for our Jinxiu Industrial Park base."
"We also need to make reservations for our Bailushan Park base. We don't have as much money as the Chamber of Commerce base, but we still have enough reservations. The time and place of the trading conference have not yet been decided. We still have time to collect the gold you want. Don't forget Well, most of us here are women. If we take off the jewelry, we can purchase a large number of firearms."
"It's the operator who's talking. There are some things you can't decide. Go ask the leader named Tang Zheng. I'm Zhou Hua, the leader of the hot spring base in Yuanshan County. I also have another identity. I'm the Lord of the Empire. I If I buy weapons with this status, can I get a half discount?"
"I am the operator of the prison base. I would like to ask on behalf of our boss Han, are you responsible for what you say? If you are responsible, we will cover all your goods, and we can negotiate whatever you want."
"We are the base of Mingshui. We are not far from Tailai Town. If possible, we can send people there today to make a small transaction first. If you have credibility, there will be larger transactions later. "
"We are just a small base on the outskirts of Qinzhou and don't have much supplies. Can we trade women for guns?"
"Don't any of you doubt the identity of this Tang Zheng? Does the other party have so many weapons, could they be from the imperial army?"
The channel was silent for a while, and many people were still afraid of the royal troops.
After all, their behavior of occupying the mountain and becoming king is definitely against the rules.
But someone soon came up with a rebuttal.
"Impossible, I am Li Xiaofeng from the logistics park base, and I am also an imperial viscount. As far as I know, none of the ten major armies of the empire are stationed in Qinzhou or even Western Sichuan. And haven't you noticed that the weapons sold by Tang Zheng They are all old weapons. Most of those who own such weapons are the private guards of nobles. My private company is equipped with such weapons. However, I have not heard of any nobles in Tailai Town. Tang Zheng may also be someone. Maybe a technician from an arsenal."
This news immediately received responses from many people.
Since they are members of the nobles' personal guards or arsenal, there is nothing to worry about.
The channel was like a wasp blowing up the camp for a while, and the buzzing comments became a mess.
The correspondent was recording quickly, writing down the needs of these people one by one.
