Chapter 32 Buying a Bow and Crossbow
Outside the Chaoxian barracks, the two soldiers guarding the gate gave a huff and looked around feebly.

The sound of footsteps came from the front, and the sleepiness of the two soldiers disappeared without a trace, and their eyes looked forward together.

"Stop!" A soldier yelled at the front.

Jia Nian walked over with Gu Enze and Sun Deqiu, and said politely to the soldier: "I am the village head of Changhe Village, and I am here to ask Mr. Zheng, the county captain, to register with the militia."

"The village chief of Changhe Village?" A soldier said to Jia Nian, his eyes full of doubts.

Another soldier looked up and down, showing a look of sudden realization, and a smile on his face: "So it's Village Chief Jia."

"Didn't Village Chief Jia just register two militiamen the day before yesterday? Why are you registering again today?" the soldier asked Jia Nian.

Jia Nian sighed at the soldiers: "My Changhe Village is where water bandits are rampant, so I have to try my best to register the militia."

"Then please wait a moment, Village Chief Jia, I'll go in and inform the county lieutenant," the soldier said to Jia Nian.

Then turned around and ran inside.

Watching the soldier's back gradually go away, Jia Nian waited quietly with Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze.Countless thoughts emerged in my mind, if one day Changhe Village could have its own military camp, it would be great to make weapons and armor by myself.

The sound of footsteps interrupted Jia Nian's thoughts, and Zheng Lianzhong walked over with a smile.The day before yesterday, I thought it was a one-shot deal, but I didn't expect that Changhe Village's financial resources are so amazing, and today it has to register as a militia.

It seems that this is a fat sheep.

"Mr. Jia" Zheng Lianzhong yelled at Jia Nian with a smile on his face.

Jia Nian quickly replied to Zheng Lianzhong: "County Zheng, I will trouble you again today."

"It's easy to say, easy to say..." Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian, and then changed the subject: "It's not the first time for Village Chief Jia to come here, and he must already know the rules of the barracks."

"I just don't know that Village Chief Jia plans to register a few militiamen this time." Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian, but his eyes were looking around.

Jia Nian replied to Zheng Lianzhong: "Just the two behind me"

"Please County Captain Zheng register them as militiamen of our Changhe Village," Jia Nian said to Zheng Lianzhong.

The smile on Zheng Lianzhong's face faded a bit, and his tone was a little blunt: "Register two militiamen?"

"Why didn't Village Chief Jia bring the registration together last time?" Zheng Lianzhong asked Jia Nian, his tone a little displeased.

Hearing the displeasure in Jia Nian's tone, Jia Nian didn't know that Zheng Lianzhong disliked the lack of oil and water in this matter, so he said patiently: "The last time the two of them had something to do and they were not in the village, so they were divided into two groups. Come"

"Come here," Zheng Lianzhong ordered to the soldiers beside him.

The soldier stepped forward and bowed to Zheng Lianzhong: "Yes"

"Go and get the roster," Zheng Lianzhong ordered to the soldier.

The soldier replied loudly to Zheng Lianzhong: "No!"

After speaking, he turned and strode towards the barracks.

Seeing the soldier walking away, Zheng Lianzhong asked Jia Nian, "I don't know what kind of weapons and armor Village Chief Jia wants to equip them this time."

"I plan to buy crossbows for them," Jia Nian said to Zheng Lianzhong.

Zheng Lianzhong was startled, and repeated to Jia Nian in disbelief: "A crossbow? You bought them a crossbow?"

"Does the court prohibit trafficking?" Jia Nian deliberately said to Zheng Lianzhong.

Zheng Lianzhong shook his head at Jia Nian: "The imperial court not only does not prohibit, but encourages the purchase of bows and crossbows."

"After all, compared with swords, bows and crossbows are more suitable for ordinary people, especially crossbows." Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian, and the smile on his face that gradually cooled down became warm again: "I don't know Village Chief Jia Which kind of crossbow should I choose?

"Which one?" Jia Nian showed puzzled eyes, as if he didn't introduce it in too much detail at the beginning.

Zheng Lianzhong smiled at Jia Nian: "Hundred-refined crossbow, fifty-refined crossbow, ordinary crossbow"

"In addition to these, there are also differences in quality. One hundred refining is perfect, one hundred refining is excellent, fifty refining is perfect, fifty is excellent, ordinary is perfect, and ordinary is excellent. The forging method of each crossbow is different, and the price and power are also different. The same Different forging techniques, different quality, different price and different power," Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian clicked his tongue, unexpectedly there are so many ways: "What's the price of each kind?"

"The cheapest ordinary crossbow costs 2000 gold, followed by the excellent quality ordinary crossbow at 4000 gold, and the perfect quality ordinary crossbow at 5000 gold. The ordinary quality fifty-smelting crossbow costs 6000 gold, the excellent quality fifty-smelting crossbow costs 8000 gold, and the perfect quality ordinary crossbow costs 10000 gold. Fifty crossbows cost 15000 coins. Ordinary-quality hundred-refined crossbows cost 17000 coins. Excellent-quality hundred-refined crossbows cost 20000 coins. Perfect-quality hundred-refined crossbows cost [-] coins." Zheng Lianzhong talked to Jia Nian endlessly.

Jia Nian quickly calculated in his mind that he still had 91 taels in his hand, excluding the registration fee of 20 taels, there were 71 taels left.That is to say, you can buy an ordinary crossbow at a high price, an ordinary crossbow of excellent quality.A total of 60 taels, 11 taels left.

But what is quality?As soon as I thought of this, I thought of the weapon I hid outside the city.The reason why he hid outside the city was because of trouble. The water thief sword without a scabbard might cause bad things to happen in the city.

"A crossbow of ordinary quality and an ordinary crossbow of excellent quality," Jia Nian said to Zheng Lianzhong.

Zheng Lianzhong nodded slightly satisfied: "Including the registration fee, the total is 8000 yuan, which is 80 taels."

"Does Village Chief Jia need crossbow arrows? One is 9 yuan," Zheng Lianzhong asked Jia Nian enthusiastically.

Jia Nian thought quickly: "Twenty sticks per person, a total of 40 sticks"

"360 yuan," Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian, paused for a moment and said slowly, "Including registration and crossbow fees, the total is 83 taels and 60 yuan."

"The county captain decided to exempt 60 yuan for you, what does Village Chief Jia think?" Zheng Lianzhong said to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian was overjoyed: "Thank you County Captain Zheng"

Seeing Jia Nian's happy look, Zheng Lianzheng smiled at him.

The sound of footsteps came, and the soldier walked quickly holding the roster: "My lord"

"En" Zheng Lianzhong responded, reaching out to take the roster.

Seeing this, Jia Nian quickly took out 83 taels and handed it to Zheng Lianzhong.

Looking at the money handed over, Zheng Lianzhong took it, picked up a pen and wrote the names of Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze on the roster.

"You lost 83 taels"

Zheng Lianzhong looked at Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze, and said to them: "You and the county lieutenant go to the barracks and go through some procedures."

"No..." Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze forcibly suppressed their excitement, said to Zheng Lianzhong, and then followed with strides.

Jia Nian looked at their backs with a smile on his lips. After they came out, the strength of Changhe Village would increase a lot.The plan to suppress water thieves can also be started.

Input and output are always relative, at least in Jia Nian's mind, that's how he understands it.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be frugal and desperate to fight violently.Although there are only four pawns on hand, it is a terrific start anyway.
