Chapter 40: Choose the Lesser of Both Harms
However, beyond Tu Zhengming's expectations, Tu Weidao's expression was quite calm, as if nothing had happened. Tu Zhengming opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tu Weidao.
"Brother, weapons do not necessarily have to be swords, guns, swords and halberds." Du Weidao smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, and before Du Zhengming could respond, he said meaningfully: "Brother, as far as I know, the Qi family army has such weapons, which are made of bamboo joints, called "Wolf Mill", and its predecessor was made of bamboo."
"Wei Dao, are you going to let those rural heroes use bamboo as weapons?"
Du Zhengming looked incredible, but more shocked, he looked straight at Du Weidao and could no longer speak.
"Yeah~"
Du Weidao nodded slightly and said disapprovingly: "Of course, using bamboo as a weapon is only temporary, and it will definitely be replaced with weapons in the future."
After a pause, he smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Besides, the regiment training has just been formed, and it is not a real army. At most, the enemies are bandits and bandits. Most of them are to maintain the public order in Changde Mansion. Wolf Mill as a weapon is enough."
Du Zhengming opened his mouth, and then, thinking about it, it was just a pioneering group training, and it was still in its initial stage, so there was no need to be so serious.
Especially looking at the endless crowd of registrations, Du Weidao believed that even if they were a fire stick, they would be willing to join the group training as long as they could have enough food and clothing and get a salary.
After all, the situation is stronger than that of people, and people are almost starving to death, so how can they still care about so many things?
However, my mind had just relaxed. When I thought of the many troubles after the establishment of the troupe training, Du Zhengming couldn't help but say worriedly: "But Wei Dao, how are you going to solve the food and accommodation problem of the people in the village?"
Du Zhengming frowned and pointed to those who were signing up, and asked, "Are you going to let them dress like this and become your hometown hero?"
After a pause, Du Zhengming took a deep breath and continued quietly: "It's easy to deal with now. If it enters late autumn or even cold winter, if you wear it like this, you will have to freeze to death."
After Du Zhengming finished speaking, there was still an unspoken saying. If the problem of food and clothing cannot be solved, the group training will be disbanded at the least; the worst is that the soldiers’ mutiny will bring unimaginable disasters to Changde Mansion.
At this moment, Du Zhengming was so heavy that he faced Du Weidao's cousin, he was unprecedentedly serious.
"Brother, you're over-concerned." Du Weidao was still laughing, and Feng Qingyun said lightly: "Brother, how is the matter as serious as you think?"
"But, the guards--"
Before Tu Zhengming could finish his words, Tu Weidao waved his hand and his expression became extremely serious.
"Brother, since I am going to join the group training, I have thought of these problems and have corresponding solutions. Brother, just look at it, don't worry, there will be no problem."
"Then, okay~"
Du Zhengming sighed and looked at Du Weidao with a complicated expression, but in the end he didn't say anything else.
City Defense Battalion—
Zhang Xianbi sat lazily on the chair. After listening to Zhang Sihai's report, he smiled proudly and said lightly: "Haha... they are still sensible."
Immediately afterwards, as if he had thought of something incomprehensible, Zhang Xianbi frowned and murmured: "What does that guy Du Yinxi want to do? Why did he suddenly remember to have a group training?"
"General..."
Zhang Sihai called carefully, and saw Zhang Xianbi looking over and reminded softly: "General, the regiment training was made by the army supervisor's son, blocking the guard's road, not blocking Yinxi."
"Go away, what do you know?" Zhang Sihai was a little impatient and said, "What can that little brat who has not grown enough yet? He is the playboy on the surface, and the real person in charge is Du Yinxi. Does Du Yinxi want to always be like this team training to restrain me in the city defense camp?"
"It's unlikely~"
Zhang Sihai blurted out and couldn't help but say this, and said tentatively: "General, let alone arming a group training requires a lot of money. The problem of food and drink by the township heroes can't be solved by the military supervisor."
"Yes~ Why did I forget this?"
Zhang Xianbi patted his forehead lightly, smiled slightly, and a relaxed look appeared on his face, and he even said to himself: "It seems that I am thinking too much."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something. Then, Zhang Xianbi looked at Zhang Sihai and gave some abrupt instructions: "However, you still can't be careless. Sihai sent out some people to closely monitor the actions of the father and son, and see what they wanted to do?"
At the end, Zhang Xianbi's expression became solemn again, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, general, let's arrange this."
The prefect's office—
Looking at the entire Changde Mansion, if anyone is most anxious and who is most anxious, it is definitely Cao Zhijian.
As the highest chief of a prefecture, no one in Changde Prefecture knew better than him that the key to people's livelihood lies in food prices, and also in the stability of a place.
At this moment, Cao Zhijian was like an ant on a hot pan, anxious and kept turning around the back and forth, pacing back and forth, and was almost talking nonsense.
"This damn Qiu Ba, Zhang Xianbi is too greedy. He is planning to make a fortune and want to empty the wealth of Changde Mansion. No, he must not leave it alone.
If it is allowed to develop, Changde Mansion will have to be in chaos. Even if we sacrifice our life, our official will still stop Zhang Xianbi from doing things in chaos.
Otherwise, Changde Mansion, which finally settled down, would have to be completely over!"
"master--"
When he heard this, Master Feng Jida was shocked and stopped him quickly. He said anxiously: "Master, don't be impulsive. Now Zhang Xianbi is like a tiger breaking free from the shackles. With military power in hand, we are helpless against him.
If Zhang Xianbi is angry, it will not only be useless, but will be counterproductive, and it will likely bring unintentional military disasters to Changde Mansion, which will be even more troublesome at that time.
For the people of Changde Prefecture, please think twice!”
In an instant, Cao Zhijian was like a deflated balloon. Liu Yanqi suddenly stopped and sat there dejectedly, without saying a word for a long time.
Although he was angry, Cao Zhijian did not lose his rationality, especially under Feng Jida's Zhengdi's loud advice, Cao Zhijian had to calm down and had to make a choice, and there was only this choice.
The worst thing is to choose between the two worlds.
There is no doubt that once Zhang Xianbi pulls off the last fig leaf and loses his last fear, that will be the real disaster in Changde Mansion.
At this moment, Cao Zhijian, who felt helpless, felt his heart bleeding, but he had to pretend to be calm, lowered his head, waved his hand, and sent Feng Jida away weakly.
"Okay, Master Feng, you go down."
"Yes, sir, the young one will leave."
Feng Jida also breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, and then took a peek at the lonely Cao Zhijian, then slowly bowed and retreated.
