After the wood spirits obtained 87 technical talents, the construction of the arsenal sped up.
These technical talents had helped him a lot.
Originally, it would take a week to assemble the machine, but because of these technical talents, it only took a day to assemble it.
At the same time, the wood spirit also left the 100,000 silver dollars he had obtained and 50,000 silver dollars to be used as the construction funds for the arsenal.
He invested the other 50,000 into the stock market.
The wood spirit felt that the wood element's current funds were simply unable to support the operation of the arsenal and the maintenance of the army.
Therefore, he needed to earn money for Mu Yuan in advance.
He even got someone to open several companies in Shanghai.
They were all shell companies.
Using the names of these companies to earn money for Mu Yuan.
When Mu Zimin became the mayor and the leader of the town security team, the security of the town was very good. However, compared to before, there were not many changes in the town. It was just that the security had improved.
The military camp was located in Anmin Town. It was very large, with a length and width of more than 500 meters. It was about the same size as the arsenal.
Every day, the soldiers could be heard going out for training.
As time passed, the people of An Min Town got used to it.
Right then, in the Five Dragon Mountain of Wuyi Town beside Anmin Town, a group of tough bandits learned about the changes in Anmin Town.
The bandit leader of the Five Dragon Mountain was called Tian Bang, and he had more than a thousand men under him.
He was also one of the two strongest bandit groups in Linyuan County.
He had more than a thousand subordinates.
There were more than 800 rifles. Most of the rifles in their hands were made in Hanyang, and there were very few old barrels.
Hanyang was definitely the best rifle in Linyuan County in this era.
In Tian Bang's village.
Tian Bang touched his bald head and asked a man in a long robe,"Is what you said true?" Is the Mu family really that rich?"
Tian Bang had two Shell Spears on his waist and was wearing a black robe.
Leaning on the huge wooden chair, he did not believe that the Mu family was as rich as the person in front of him said.
This middle-aged man in a long robe was a recording officer of the County Security Regiment.
His name was Li He, and he was the younger brother of the head of the security regiment. He was a scholar.
" Chief Tian, that's indeed the case. The Mu family has 400,000 silver dollars in cash. If we add in their farm produce, food, and shops, it'll definitely be no less than 800,000."
" The most important thing is that Anmin Town only has a security team of around 200 people. If you succeed this time, the wealth you get will definitely be enough to give your stronghold more guns."
Li He explained with a smile.
However, Tian Bang did not immediately believe Li He's words. He looked at a woman beside him and asked,"Second Bandit Chief, what do you think?"”。
This woman was dressed in a red robe, and there were two Shell Spears at her waist.
He was about thirty years old and very good-looking.
However, judging from the thickness of her arm, this woman did not seem to be easy to deal with.
This woman was the second bandit chief of this village and the younger sister of the first bandit chief.
Her name was Tian Zhen.
In the entire village, other than the bandit chief, she was the one who had the most say.
Tian Zhen held the handle of the shell spear with both hands.
He looked at Li He solemnly.
"Brother, can we trust the words of the soldiers? Moreover, we have always minded our own business with An Min Town. If we cross the line, will Qian San of An Min Town let us off?”。
Qian San was the largest bandit group near An Min Town. There were more than a thousand of them.
It was similar to the Five Dragon Mountain.
However, these two groups of bandits had always minded their own business.
He would never cross the line.
If Tian Bang really touched An Min Town, he would probably be hated by Qian San.
However, Li He quickly explained," Bandit Chief, Qian San has long been suppressed by the security guards of Anmin Town. He doesn't dare to touch the Mu family, and only 200 people managed to suppress him. I think you're the strongest person in Linyuan County."
Qian San is just a coward."
Tian Bang liked to hear this.
Although he and Qian San did not invade each other, there was some enmity between them.
It was just that the strength of both sides was about the same, so the two of them had not made a move all along.
At this moment, Tian Zhen walked down from the stage and stood in front of Li He. She was actually taller than Li He.
At 1.7 meters, she was taller than Li He, who was 1.65 meters tall.
Therefore, when Li He faced Tian Zhen, he was a little flustered. At the same time, there was a malicious look in his eyes.
After all, Tian Zhen was indeed very beautiful. She had tanned skin, a good figure, and was very tall.
She was wearing a red robe, and her shoulder-length hair was tied behind her head.
The 30-year-old her gave off a mature beauty.
This woman was famous in Linyuan County.
Her skills were even better than her big brother's, especially her marksmanship.
Tian Zhen looked at Li He seriously and questioned," Then why don't you tell me why Qian San doesn't dare to touch the Mu family? Although Qian San was as timid as a mouse, he was a Fort Master with more than 1,000 people. Would he be afraid of the Mu family with only 200 security guards?”。
"In my opinion, the Mu family's security team is stronger than him. Otherwise, with your brother's personality, would he let go of such a big piece of fat meat?”。
You came here today because you want us to fight to the death with the Mu family, and then your county security team will reap the benefits from behind, right?"
At this moment, Tian Bang finally came back to his senses. He glared at Li He and asked,"Is what Second Bandit Chief said true?"”。
Li He's face was covered in sweat as he stammered. In the end, he could only say," Leader, you are wise. The Mu Family does have some ability. I don't know what happened to the only descendant of the Mu Family, Mu Yuan, but he suddenly isn't stupid."
He even exterminated the bandits near Anmin Town."
" But the bandits they attacked were all around a hundred people. There's no way to prove that they're very strong or that they're comparable to you."
You have more than a thousand guns. In my opinion, Qian San must have come to an agreement with the Mu Family."
" Perhaps the Mu Family paid Qian San a certain amount of protection fee so that Qian San wouldn't attack the Mu Family."
"Everyone knows that the Mu family is the richest family in Lin Yuan County. Are you going to watch as Qian San and the Mu family cooperate and get the money to buy a gun?”。
Li He finally thought of a reasonable reason, one that Tian Bang could not refuse.
After Li He finished speaking, Tian Bang frowned.
He had been secretly comparing himself with Qian San, afraid that the other party's strength would surpass his and swallow him up.
At this moment, Li He struck while the iron was hot and continued,"Stronghold Chieftain Tian, you don't know yet, right? Some time ago, the Mu Clan's security guards went to Wuyi Town to wipe out bandits and killed more than a hundred people. The entire stronghold was wiped out."
" There were more than 500 people in that village, but not a single one survived. The children and the women were all killed."
When Li He finished speaking, he even put on a sympathetic expression.
His words were naturally exaggerated, but there was nothing wrong with his words since more than a hundred bandits had died.
Tian Zhen also frowned at this moment.
"How could they be so cruel? They actually exterminated the sect?"
Tian Zhen naturally couldn't tolerate the extermination of her clan.
Bandits had their own rules. No matter how great their hatred was, very few people would exterminate their families.
At most, they would just recruit the other party's men to their side and kill their boss.
In fact, most of the time, it would not be killed.
