Early in the morning, Li Yunhao, who had completely recovered, stood in the courtyard and exercised. Due to his previous illness, his body was relatively weak now, so appropriate exercise was necessary.
Fifteen minutes later, he finished his training and a servant brought him breakfast. Breakfast was very simple. There were two steamed buns, a plate of vegetables, a plate of meat, and a big bowl of porridge. It just so happened that he was hungry after exercising, so he quickly finished the breakfast in front of him.
After breakfast, Li Yunhao returned to the study and began to calculate the Li family's current assets. The current Li family was considered a wealthy family, but most of their money was buried underground, and only a small portion was used for business. In addition, the Li family still had a lot of fertile land, which could harvest a lot of grain every year. Some of the grain stored in the warehouse had already turned moldy. Now that he thought about it, it was really a waste!
"There is so much food in the house. I can't let it rot in my hands. I have to hurry up and arrange a proper place for those moldy food. Now, he could use those moldy grains to make vinegar. At the same time, he could also use the old grains to make wine. This way, he could turn waste into treasure. He might even be able to exchange it for a lot of money!”
"We can't let the merchant group stay at home idle every day. We should let them go out and train well. If they stay at home and wait for death every day, what kind of fighting strength will these people have after a long time? However, the equipment of the guards was a little poor. Some of them were even equipped with firearms. It was simply a joke. They felt proud just like that. They really did not know what to say!”
"I need to take out a sum of money from the warehouse to buy a large number of guns and ammunition. I need to rearm the guards at home and the guards of the merchant group. Rifles, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns can be said to be indispensable. As for the bullets, he had to buy more. No matter what, he would need at least a million bullets to meet the requirements for future training and combat.”
"Looks like I have to pay a huge price this time. I can't search like before. In this chaotic world, I have to save my life first. Otherwise, no matter how much money I have, it's all in vain. The number of guards was indeed a little small, and they lacked training. They had to be retrained and recruited more guards to replenish their strength. The total number of guards had to be at least 500. Only then could they resist the bandits well.”
"The house also needs to be renovated. The wall needs to be raised and reinforced. Not to mention that it can accommodate horses, it can at least accommodate three to four people. The current wall is really too low, only less than two meters. In addition, they had to dig a moat outside the wall and set up a suspension bridge. Usually, the suspension bridge would be closed if there was nothing to do. Only when goods and personnel entered and exited could the suspension bridge be opened. This way, it would be extremely difficult for outsiders to attack!”
"As long as we can buy light and heavy machine guns, set up more firepower points, and build some small defensive fortresses, it should be no problem to resist the bandits 'attacks. In order to be safe, it was best to buy some cannons. However, the control of the cannons was more strict, so it was not easy to get them. Now that he thought about it, he really had a headache. It was not a problem for those foreign companies to sell him heavy machine guns, but if it was artillery, they might directly reject it. It seemed that he still needed to think of a way in this aspect. If it really did not work, he would send people to snatch it. However, he had to do it secretly and not be discovered by others. Otherwise, he would really poke the hornet's nest. There would be no room for negotiation!”
" I can only think about this idea in my heart for the time being. I definitely can't put it into practice. If someone leaks it, it will be really fun to watch. I'm afraid that I will become a laughing stock in the eyes of many people and be treated as a clown by others!”
"Take advantage of this free time to deal with the old grain in the house. Buy a large batch of new grain, and buy some cattle, sheep, and horses. In addition to expanding the courtyard, the expenses in between are not a small amount. It seems that I need to make a budget in advance! However, there were some things that could be produced by himself, such as cement. After a few experiments, he could always find the best ratio, which was much cheaper than buying it on the market. Moreover, if he could produce cement, he could use as much as he wanted. He might even be able to build a fortress!”
"Tomorrow, I will go down and see if the shopkeepers and stewards of those shops are reliable. Of course, I will definitely check the accounts. Who knows if these people are fooling me? For him, every penny had to be used to the best of his abilities. He definitely could not let it fall into the pockets of others for nothing! There was one more thing that he had almost forgotten. He had to buy some medicinal herbs. It was best to store more. He had studied medicine for a period of time. Although the water bottle was not very high, it could still treat some basic diseases. It would not be a loss to prepare more conventional medicines.”
"Considering that there might be frequent battles in the future, we need to prepare more anti-infection drugs and buy some western medicine. The price of western medicine was too high, and it was really a little unaffordable. However, if there was no need, it would be difficult to treat some diseases. Now that he thought about it, he could only endure it for the time being and see if he could open a small factory to produce western medicine in the future.”
Li Yunhao thought that there was nothing much to do during this period of time. Other than completing the Li family's defense, the remaining thing was to improve his medical skills. This was a very important matter for him at the moment, and it even concerned his life!
