The wood spirit nodded. He knew that Mu Yuan was eager to know how he made those precise machines.
However, how precise do you want the machinery of this era to be?
After Mu Yuan told Mu Qinglu and Mu San to go back, he sat by the side of the construction site and observed the workers from time to time.
Just as Mu Yuan was about to work with the workers to make a component, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
"Master, I'll give you your previous reward."
Just as Mu Yuan was about to make his move, his movements froze.
Mu Yuan asked.
"Reward? What reward?"
Mu Yuan walked to the side of the construction site and asked,
"Tell me the details."
system explained
"Master, because you and your army killed several officers of your security regiment, several servants who had disloyalty to you, and more than ten bandits, the system rewarded you with the same number of talents. Now, you have a total of 25 people to use."
Mu Yuan asked.
"Talent? Any kind of talent?"
system said
"Anything is fine."
Mu Yuan was worried and asked,
"How are their standards?"
"Each of them has two years of experience and is considered a first-class talent."
Mu Yuan smiled and said,
"Then there are still Level 2 and Level 3 talents?”
"You guessed it right, Master. Level 1 talents are talents that can be used. Level 0 talents are beginners. The higher the level, the higher the quality of the talents."
Mu Yuan nodded and smiled.
"Then give me 10 talents in smelting, 10 talents in mechanical engineering, and 5 talents in military training. System, can you give me guns for those 5 talents in military training?”
Mu Yuan's current firearms were indeed insufficient. He could not even expand the army, and he could not do it with his current funds.
system explained
"Master, military talents will automatically be equipped with weapons. Would you like a rifle, machine gun, or submachine gun?”
Mu Yuan smiled and said,
"There's actually such a good thing?"
"Master, this is the setting. There's no other way."
Mu Yuan teased,
"Why do I feel like your system is very unwilling?"
The system said in a mechanical voice,
"No, the system has no emotions, so it doesn't have any unwillingness."
Mu Yuan didn't talk nonsense anymore and said directly,
"Then let's equip it with a rifle. It's equipped with 1,000 rounds of bullets, right?”
The system was actually a little powerless to complain
"Yes, Master."
Mu Yuan smiled and said,
" Alright then, let's equip them with rifles. Five talents with military training."
"Yes, Master. The people have been sent to the mountains outside Anmin Town. They will come to seek refuge with you later."
Mu Yuan smiled and said,
"Alright, System, do you think the wood spirit will succeed? Why do I feel so uncertain?”
Indeed, although Mu Yuan did not know much about industrial matters, his common sense told him that it was impossible to rely on one person to build an arsenal.
However, the system did not think the same as Mu Yuan. Instead, it said with certainty,
"Master, please trust your subordinates. They won't promise you anything they can't do."
Mu Yuan finally had some confidence in his heart
Although he had previously said that he believed in the wood spirit, he was very uncertain because he had never seen an all-rounded talent.
Or rather, there was no such person in this world.
As long as one was a human, there must be an endless sea of knowledge. A person who had mastered all the knowledge and skills in this world, Mu Yuan could not imagine what kind of person he would be.
The wood spirit was a very professional soldier, but in front of Mu Yuan, he was just a professional soldier.
Because Mu Yuan doesn't understand other things
However, since the system was so certain, Mu Yuan no longer hesitated.
He didn't stay there any longer, but if he knew anything about management, he would definitely be amazed at the arrangement the wood spirit had made for the workers. The workers who were originally only capable of providing labor were now able to work efficiently and precisely under the arrangement of the wood spirit.
It's impossible for ordinary people to do this
After Mu Yuan went back, he stayed at home for a few days.
Mu Yuan had been thinking about the expansion of the army for the past few days. However, there were still two problems with the expansion of the army. One was the problem of weapons, and the other was the problem of funds. Although the Mu family had hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, Mu Yuan did not want to use this money.
From Mu Yuan's point of view, this money was earned by the old master of the Mu family for a lifetime. Mu Yuan wanted to use it to maintain the food and clothing of the Mu family and did not want to invest this money in the military.
Military investment was a bottomless pit. With the little money that the Mu family had, it was only a year's military expenditure for a division, and it did not include the expenditure for weapons.
Now, if Mu Yuan wanted to expand his army, he needed to earn money himself.
In this era, although Mu Yuan had more knowledge than this era, he really did not know how to operate it. However, this was normal. Before Mu Yuan transmigrated to this world, he was a science and engineering student. He was completely at a loss about business.
The wood spirit could do it, but it didn't have time now. He was alone.
At this time, Mu Yuan sighed with emotion and said,
"Talent, talent, I need talent!"
Mu Yuan thought, his eyes revealing a trace of ambition.
"System, can I obtain talents by killing enemies?”
The system went online and said,
"Yes, Master. Anyone who is hostile to you can be considered an enemy. If you kill them or your soldiers kill them, you can obtain the same number of talents."
The ambition in Mu Yuan's eyes grew stronger and stronger. However, he suppressed his ambition firmly. He did not want to become a murderous demon king because of this.
However, he had to suppress the bandits. There was nothing much in this period, but there were as many bandits as there were hairs on an ox. Kangyuan had a population of more than two million, and the number of bandits alone was more than 100,000. Zhang San of Anmin Town's Tiger Head Mountain was only a small bandit among them. The big bandits could easily have thousands of people.
It's just that they're all around the big county
Only a big county can afford so many bandits
But now Mu Yuan wants to make a move on these bandits
For his own purpose, these bandits were all talents in Mu Yuan's eyes.
"For my success, I can only sacrifice you. I'm sorry, but who asked you to be bandits? I didn't do anything wrong, right?"
Mu Yuan found a way to comfort himself, but it was indeed true. Most of the bandits were indeed people who burned, killed, and robbed, so Mu Yuan's approach was indeed not wrong.
Now Mu Yuan had 120 soldiers and 100 soldiers that he could mobilize. It should not be a problem for the 100 soldiers not to provoke the thousands of bandits.
In fact, with the combat strength of the soldiers, even if they fought against those bandits with thousands of people, they could still win. However, they could not afford to lose wood essence.
However, Mu Yuan seemed to have thought of something.
At this time, Mu Yuan was lying on a recliner in the backyard. Beside him was Mu He, who was fanning Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan lay with his eyes closed, like an old man.
At this time, he was communicating with the system, but then he seemed to have thought of something. He opened his eyes and turned to ask Mu He,
"Xiao He, go and call the people over."
Mu He was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
"Oh, alright, Young Master."
After Mu He ran out for a while, he brought Mu Zi Min in.
Mu Zimin was a little curious as to why Mu Yuan called him.
Mu Zimin came to Mu Yuan's side and asked softly,
"Young Master, you were looking for me?"
Mu Yuan didn't waste any words and asked directly,
"Zimin, how much money did you find from Zhang San when Cheng Zhi exterminated him last time?”
Mu Zi Min thought that something was wrong, so it was this matter. He smiled and said,
"Young Master, it's a total of 30,000 silver coins and 50 gold bars of 12 taels. It's about 40,000 silver coins in total."
Mu Yuan smiled happily.
"Hahaha, good, good. You can leave 20,000 silver coins as military expenses and take out 20,000 silver coins to recruit new soldiers. Hmm, just recruit 200 new soldiers. Then, you can unify the Hanyang products that can be used normally in your family and the security corps and give them to use.”
"Hand over the new recruits to them for training, and then select 20 veterans to enter this company to serve as squad leaders and company commanders.”
20,000 silver coins was definitely enough to train 200 people. However, it would take two months for them to fight the bandits. Only the soldiers who survived could become qualified soldiers.
