After hearing what Han Xi said, the red lady was a little disappointed.
yes! This place is just a bandit den, maybe not even one of them is literate.
"It's getting late. We'll discuss business matters tomorrow. Go and get a quilt for Miss Hong." Han Xi interrupted Miss Hong's thoughts.
The red lady quickly waved her hand and said: "No, I just came here to tell you that we trade goods at our old place."
"Old place?" Han Xi was a little confused. Is there such a place?
"It's the ruined temple last time." Red Lady explained.
Hearing this, Han Xi nodded, then shook his head and said, "You'd better transport the goods over here! I have to go to annihilate a group of officers and soldiers tomorrow, so I don't have time."
"You have so many people, why don't you send a team of people there?" the red lady said with a frown.
"Yeah! That makes sense. That's okay. I'll go there tomorrow." Han Xi agreed.
The red lady, with her hair covered in black lines, snorted coldly and turned around to leave from the main entrance of the courtyard.
Han Xi found it very interesting. He came in through the back door, but now he went out through the front door.
Looking at the back of the people leaving, Han Xi patted the armrest and thought, now he has a little less cavalry and a lot more infantry.
"Horses, horses!" Han Xi whispered.
There are not many horses in Shaanxi now, only in the border areas. If you go north along Yan'an, you can reach Yulin.
Yulin was the place where Ming Dynasty and Mongolia traded each other, but it seems that it is not open now.
Otherwise, you can ride a fast horse over there in the beginning of spring to try your luck.
Han Xi suddenly had an idea. The Imperial horse-drawn cannon and several heavy artillery seemed to use horses to pull the cannons. He could use oxen or pack horses instead.
In this way, wouldn't there be an extra group of horses?
The more he thought about it, the more Han Xi thought it was feasible.
"Let's talk about it in a few days!" Han Xi thought as he looked at the sky.
So Han Xi got up and went back to his room to prepare for bed.
After entering the house, Han Xi put on his clothes and got on the earthen bed. Then he felt a faint feminine scent from the quilt.
After sniffing carefully, Han Xi suddenly turned pale, thinking that the red lady had slept in his bed, right? The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible.
Do you want this quilt?
Forget it, it’s no use when the weather is so cold.
Thinking, thinking, Han Xi fell into a deep sleep.
Early next morning.
Before dawn, Han Xi got up.
Several female farmers got up earlier than Han Xi. At this time, the aroma of rice porridge floated in the courtyard, mixed with the smell of beef.
Han Xi washed up as usual and then entered the cellar of the courtyard.
This cellar was not filled with grain, but filled with stones. This was Han Xi's gold and silver mine. Every day he would come here to convert 10,000 imperial coins.
To lift fifty or sixty kilograms of stones at a time, it only takes half an hour to lift ten stones every day.
You can exercise your body and earn empire coins at the same time.
Half an hour later.
Look at the system panel.
Host: Han Xi
【Empire CoinX19000】
Technologies that have been opened: killing (agricultural pest control), irrigation canals, mechanized rice production, saws, water mills, hunting dogs, steel traps, circular saws, seeders, artificial fertilizers, coats, trumpet guns, stonemasons, silversmiths... ..
Opened factories: cigar factory, rum factory, sawmill, textile factory, Royal Coin Factory Buffalo Ranch (owns all machinery manufacturing technology in the factory)
Opened trade: commodity market
Han Xi shook his head slightly. He really had a treasure trove, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Many of the opened technologies and factories cannot be made due to material limitations.
The most embarrassing thing is that the commodity market, which costs 300,000 yuan to open, can only be used after occupying the prefecture and county.
"Take your time!" Han Xi whispered and went up to the cellar.
At this time, the beef porridge for breakfast had been cooked, and it was Han Xi's daily breakfast with a plate of hot and sour radish. He finished the porridge in a few mouthfuls while it was hot. Then go to the stable, where a hundred cavalry are waiting.
Today, I plan to deal with the red lady after settling the official and military camp more than ten miles away.
Mounting their horses, the group headed toward the village holding torches.
It seemed like there had been another heavy snowfall last night. The snow was more than a foot thick and the horses could only run fast.
An hour later, the sky was slightly bright.
When I arrived at yesterday's camp, I saw that the camp was occupied by the imperial cavalry guarding here.
Han Xi led people into the camp and asked, "Where are the officers and soldiers in the camp?"
"Report to the general, the officers and soldiers escaped during the night." An imperial cavalryman reported.
Hearing this, Han Xi dismounted and walked to a cart of muskets.
The car was equipped with various muskets. Han Xi was surprised when he picked up a breech-loading musket.
There is a hollow on the top of the gun, and there is a long tube similar to a bullet on the side. Place the long tube in the hollow and use a match rope to ignite the gun's firing line to activate it.
This gun feels a bit advanced to Han Xi!
It's already a bit like a breech-loading rifle.
Soon, Han Xi found several more artillery pieces with the same principle.
"What kind of cannon is this?" Han Xi asked a prisoner.
Not all officers and soldiers escaped yesterday, dozens more seemed to have been abandoned and were now prisoners.
"Your Majesty, this is the French cannon." The captured officers and soldiers replied.
Furlong cannon? Sounds a bit familiar.
Han Xi took a look and saw that there were ten cannons of this type since he was a child. However, there was a hint of green on the edges of these cannons and the body of the cannon was black. They were all made of copper.
However, judging from the style and the pits on it, it is estimated that they are cannons from a long time ago. They seem to be antiques.
"What's the name of this gun?" Han Xi asked, raising the spear in his hand.
"Gun? Your Majesty, this is not a gun, it is an electric cannon." said the captured officer and soldier.
After hearing this, Han Xi wrote down the name of the gun and planned to go back to the blacksmith shop to make a few copies to see how it performed.
"One hundred people will escort these materials and people back, and the rest will follow me." Han Xi mounted his horse and said loudly.
"As you command!"
the cavalry shouted in response.
Soon, Han Xi led Baiqi to the north.
Half an hour later.
The group of people arrived at the ruined temple and saw only the red lady alone in the ruined temple, as well as more than 20 wheelbarrows and five donkey carts.
Seeing this, Han Xi felt that the Red Lady and her party were very cautious.
"How much money is this batch of goods? Tell me!" Han Xi asked.
"Twenty taels for a cart of paper, two thousand pieces, and thirty taels for twenty carts of salt." The red lady said with her fingers, looking a bit cute.
When Han Xi heard the price of paper, he was slightly surprised. He knew that paper was expensive in ancient times, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. It cost almost ten yuan for a piece of paper.
Ten coins during the Wanli period could buy five pounds of wheat.
Although it was expensive, Han Xi just complained in his heart, then took off the bag from his waist and took out five small gold bars.
These are gold bars that Han Xi asked the blacksmith to melt and cast. They are one tael each, and there are also larger ones of ten taels.
Taking out five small gold bars and putting them into a cloth bag, Han Xi threw them directly.
The bag flew in the air, and an old man in bunts flew away and grabbed the bag.
"Second uncle, why did you come out!" The red lady asked in surprise.
