Chapter 38 The God of Wealth is actually a pauper
()
Speaking of cavalry, Lu Bingyin has made it difficult to get home.
In the last battle, more than 100 Manchu horses and a considerable number of armor were seized. After seeing the power of Manchu armored heavy cavalry, many people were extremely enthusiastic about building a cavalry.
Lu Bingyin has never rode a horse in his life, let alone those young men in the village protection team.
With the equipment of the cavalry, I thought I could train a horse-driving team that was galloping at lightning. After I really got it, I realized that there was such a big gap between beautiful imagination and facts.
After more than two months of training, everyone can only guarantee that they will not fall off the Mercedes-Benz immediately. As for maintaining the team shape and making a quick charge... don't even think about it.
"Cabinets... I think it's hard." Seeing the young men silly looking at the silly looking of the butts on the horse's back, Lao Lu had to admit this: "Without three to five years of training, there is no even the minimum appearance of the cavalry. I think it's better to forget it, brother, what do you think."
The farmers who have been holding hoes for generations are different from the nomads living on horseback. Without a long period of training, they are just talking and talking.
It’s not that you can ride a horse or even be considered a cavalry.
"Haha, that's it. Everyone who trains can ride horses will be considered successful." Li Si had no hope of having a combat-capable cavalry.
Cavalry requires huge financial resources as support. The money and food of raising a cavalry can support at least four infantry. More importantly, the training of cavalry takes a long time, and it is a fantasy that infantry can be transformed into cavalry in a long while.
"It's good to have this look." Li Si said to the people around him with satisfaction: "In addition to Manchu armored heavy cavalry, there is also a kind of cavalry..."
"Brothers are you talking about the light cavalry of Mongolian Mongolians?"
"Haha, Mongolian light cavalry needs skillful riding and shooting skills, and it cannot be done without five or six years of hard work." Li Si pointed to the young man who was bumping on the horse's back in front of him and said, "I'm talking about horse riding infantry."
Isn't the horse-riding infantry a cavalry?
Li Si knows better than everyone else the essential difference between horseback infantry and real cavalry.
The essence of horse-riding infantry is to have flexible maneuverability and not have the high-speed impact of cavalry. To put it bluntly, it is the original motorized infantry.
With the arrival of the cold winter, the lives of the Ming army in various places became increasingly sad, and the private sale of military equipment became more unscrupulous and blatant. The most famous Daoba Village in civil training has undoubtedly become the biggest beneficiary.
Unlike the Ming Border Defense Force, in this colder winter than in previous years, Li Si repeatedly urged the Hu Village team to step up training.
Due to the cold weather and the improvement of training intensity, the quality of life of the young men is maintained at the highest level. The food of pure grain and meat can definitely make people who starve to death outside at any time. In the past, it took several years or even more than ten years of careful accumulation to buy a set of blue cloth cotton clothes, but everyone in the village protection team has one.
Such generous conditions directly caused many desperate hungry people to pour into the village desperately.
Especially after the first snow (and the only snow of the year) fell, the hungry people who were dragging their children completely ignored the threat of death on the way and rushed into this last paradise in batches.
During the extremely cold winter, the population of more than a dozen villages with Daoba Village as the core has surged.
"Brother Li, you...you have no money anymore, how is this possible?"
In the past six months, the villagers' wealth has grown sharply. When the settlement was made before the New Year, several old men in charge of the accounts in the village were surprised to find that the money under Li Si was in deficit.
Caozhi and many profitable industries are gold mines, and Li Dashen of Wealth accounts for 30% of the stocks. The villagers all made a lot of money, thinking that the wealth under Li Si must be astronomical, and no one would have thought that this would be the situation.
Judging from the accounts, Li Dashen not only did not have a surplus of a penny, but instead owed many deficits in the village.
"Are you miscalculated the accounts? How could Brother Li have no money?"
"It must be a mistake, let's review the accounts again."
"No need to forget it anymore, there will be no mistakes." Lu Bingyin said in a muffled voice, "You don't look at how many mouths the village guard team has now? How many refugees have recently arrived in the village? Most of the food and consumption of these people is paid by Brother Li, so it would be strange if they can have money left."
Resetting refugees who came to join in and maintaining the training and equipment of the Hu Village team, all this was a huge expense that the villagers dared not imagine. After the weather turned cold, Caozhi's production plummeted, and the main source of property decreased by half. Although the villagers also bear part of the expenses of the Hu Village team, it was very limited after all.
At this time, the villagers who were devoted to making money realized how much financial expenditure Li Si had undertaken.
Everyone was rich, but the biggest contributor to getting rich, Li Si, known as the living God of Wealth, became a pauper, which made everyone present feel embarrassed.
Now everyone has money, of course, Li Si can't let him live without last year. Many people have proposed to fund some.
Being able to support Li Da God of Wealth is also a kind of honor. If you have a way to make a fortune in the future, you will definitely be inseparable from your own share.
"After spring, I have to build a tile house. There is no big expense for anything else. Anyway, I can't use up so much money. Brother Li borrows it first... and uses it first. It's not easy to celebrate the New Year if you don't have money. Brother Li Si clenched his fists and celebrated the New Year."
Li Si, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly said: "Things like starting a new house must be stopped. Don't take care of the fields after spring. All production that cannot see benefits within two months must be stopped..."
The people who had just received the money were suddenly shocked by Li Si's inexplicable words.
Although now no one is counting on the harvest in the fields, how can we achieve without farming? As a farmer, it is impossible to watch the fields abandoned.
"Also, after the weather gets slightly warmer, the grass zircon can still be harvested for about three to four crops. All the grass zircon harvested from today and can't be sold..."
If the fields have to be abandoned, the grass and tangerines cannot be sold, wouldn’t this cut off everyone’s way to make money? Isn’t it going to live a life in the future?
What happened to Li Dashen, who has always been completely determined?
Li Si completely ignored everyone's surprise and puzzled eyes, and did not explain more, and issued orders one by one: "The rich people purchase grain, rice, mules, horses and other foods as much as possible. The more Jinchuang herbs, the better..."
I originally thought that the settlement of property before the New Year was a happy situation, but I didn't expect that Li Dashi God suddenly had such a problem.
"What a fool to be suspicious? Brother Li's vision is also something we can see? Just do it." Lao Lu's concluding remarks ended the less festive party.
It was surprisingly cold outside, stepping on the creaking snow, Lu Bingyin suddenly asked, "Is there going to be a big change?"
Lu Bingyin has always believed this Li Si who is as wise as a demon. Today, Li Si's abnormal remarks made this old archer in Liaodong have an intuition: a big change is imminent.
When Lu Bingyin was a archer and was about to withdraw from the 24th Fort in Liaodong, he received a similar order.
Generally speaking, such an order means that there will be a tremendous change.
Li Si lowered his head with his sleeves in his arms, and did not answer the old question.
"All the fat pigs during the Chinese New Year have been slaughtered. Your sister-in-law is yelling to buy new piglets. When do you think it's appropriate to buy it?"
"No need to buy it." Li Si answered very directly.
