Just as Qin Ming was thinking about how to build an arsenal in the mountain village.
Locust Tree Village belonged to a town called Zhuang Town.
There were more than 10,000 people.
However, compared to Locust Tree Village, Village Town was not much better.
The mayor was the captain of the town's security team.
In a small place like this, the mayor was basically someone with some strength and some wealth.
At this moment, in the town hall, Mayor Li Biao was wearing a suit that did not match his temperament at all. He was a burly man in his forties.
He looked at the people arguing below.
After everyone quieted down, Li Biao chuckled softly.”。
Looking at him like this was a little scary.
For a burly man to deliberately put on an amiable appearance was even more frightening than if he were to directly become ferocious.
Sitting below were a few merchants and a few wealthy families from the town.
They all looked at Li Biao and didn't dare to say anything else.
" How about this? Let me say a few words."
It's not like we have to exterminate the bandits on Mount Cheng."
Just as Li Biao finished speaking, the people below were about to speak.
Li Biao raised his hand and said," Of course, let me finish. You all know that there are only 300 or so people in our village's security team."
" Hurry up and snatch them. There are only a hundred or so old sleeves."
" Although there are only a hundred or so people on Mt. Cheng, we're still not familiar with the environment here.
" If we rashly enter, we will definitely suffer great losses."
This loss is our village's loss."
Hearing Li Biao's words, everyone understood that Li Biao wanted money.
The people here were the most influential and wealthy families in the town.
A few days ago, they received a threatening letter from the bandit Big Head on Mount Cheng.
They demanded that each of them hand over 10,000 yuan tomorrow. Otherwise, they would not be able to do business.
Anyone who had some money in the town would do business outside the village.
Moreover, they had to pass through mountains.
It was just that the amount of money was too large, and they had no choice.
He could only ask Li Biao for help.
Li Biao watched as everyone lowered their heads.
When it came to money, they stopped talking.
Li Biao smiled,"Since everyone can allow the bandits to exist, I, as the mayor, have no objections."
It's all for the commoners. I'll do whatever the commoners think."
Hearing Li Biao's high-sounding words, the few people below snorted.
However, they also knew that other than Li Biao, they could not find anyone else who could help them.
Who knew what those bandits would do?
At this moment, an old man stood up.
This was the wealthiest family in town, the Wang family. Their family property was at least 100,000 yuan.
He even had business in the capital of Sichuan Province.
If the bandits really attacked, their family would definitely be the most affected.
Wang Youcai cupped his hands.
" Town Mayor Li, we can't let the bandits on Mount Cheng live. Their existence is too big of a threat to our village."
" How about this, in order to eliminate this group of bandits, this old man is willing to invest 1,000 dollars to give you some firearms."
Li Biao's lips curled up slightly as he smiled and said," Boss Wang is angry, but I'm afraid this 1,000 yuan won't be enough to buy much weapons and ammunition."
" You know what's expensive these days. Military arms are ridiculously expensive. In a small place like ours, we have to go to the capital to buy them."
You might not even sell him to us. This 1,000 yuan might not even be enough for the shipping."
The corners of Wang Youcai's mouth twitched.
The shipping fee was not even enough.
Was it pulled by a golden bull or a golden horse?
Moreover, during this period, other countries did not impose an arms embargoes on their countries at all. They could buy anything they wanted.
An old bushing was only worth 20 yuan.
A thousand dollars was enough to buy fifty old barrels.
The Wang Clan only had around fifty guards, and they only had around forty Hanyang swords.
They couldn't possibly let the Wang family pay all of this military expenditure, right?
Wang Youcai looked troubled.
"Mayor Li, this 1,000 yuan is not a small sum. You can't just stare at the Wang family and take advantage of us, right?”。
At this moment, Li Biao looked at the others.
Very quickly, everyone started to invest. Most of them were willing to pay 100 to 200 yuan, but in total, it was less than 3,000 yuan.
Li Biao was a little disappointed.
After everyone had contributed, Li Biao looked at everyone.
Everyone, you are either businessmen or scholars, so you might not know much about the military. This 3,000 dollars should be enough for us to buy some guns and ammunition."
"But I can't be the poor mayor to pay for the loss of personnel, training, and departure fees, right?”。
" Besides, the bandits were exterminated for all of you."
I'm not worried about bandits at all. I'm the mayor, so I have to do something for the people."
Everyone, don't disappoint me."
Since he had already said this, if everyone still did not understand.
They would probably die if they went out.
That's right, this was a blatant threat.
Everyone looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.
After a long time, it was still Wang Youcai.
Shaking his head, he said," Sigh, then my Wang family will fork out another 2,000 yuan. A total of 3,000 yuan should be enough. Any more and we won't be able to survive."
Wang Youcai was very helpless.
The Wang family had the largest business and had a pair of children studying in Chengdu.
If those bandits really attacked his grandchildren, then he really wouldn't be able to live.
After all, the Wang Clan only had these two people left.
Li Biao could tell that this was already Wang Youcai's bottom line.
Although the Wang family was indeed quite rich, it was already good enough to have 10,000 yuan in cash.
The rest were either shops or fields.
Therefore, she could not force him too much.
Three thousand dollars was enough. He didn't really have to go to the bandits anyway.
Exterminating bandits was so dangerous, how could they leave so easily?
Wang Youcai attacked again, and the others followed helplessly.
In the end, everyone added up to 7,000 yuan, although it was 3,000 yuan less than Li Biao's expected 10,000 yuan.
However, it was enough.
Anyway, they couldn't run away. There would be plenty of opportunities to make a fortune in the future.
Li Biao cupped his hands at everyone and smiled,"Then I'll thank everyone for your generosity. Don't worry, as long as you buy the weapons and equipment."
" I'll definitely take action to exterminate these bandits."
Looking at Li Biao's change, although everyone was very disdainful in their hearts.
However, they did not dare to show it.
Li Biao had more than 300 guns under him.
The entire security team belonged to him.
Going against him was courting death.
After the meeting ended.
Li Biao came to the security team.
The security team was led by his younger brother, Li Hu.
However, he couldn't count on this security team to have much combat power.
After all, almost 40% of the security guards were drug users.
The security team was not only used to scare the local ruffians in the town, but also to protect the town.
Fight the bandits?
Stop joking.
