Chapter 155 Finally got equipment
Jiang Yizhou didn't expect that he would have such a big fun outside when the New Year was almost approaching.
Not only did he spend more than 10,000 merits in one go, he was also injured and lost more than 10 points of life force.
But I managed to get through this disaster in the end.
Not only did he deal with County Magistrate Zhang, who was trying to trip him up, but he also severely dampened the morale of those major families.
At least for now they shouldn't have so much energy to cause trouble for her, so they can focus on developing their careers.
In addition, she successfully rescued several of her fellows and prevented innocent people from being killed because of her, which made her feel very gratified.
Of course, at the same time, she also gained more loyal respect and allegiance from her subordinates.
In addition, because Xiao Tongzi's level was upgraded, he temporarily lent her his own space.
After satisfying his addiction to portable space and free shopping, he emptied the warehouses of Zhang Tao, the Huo family, the Chen family, and the Zhou family.
She and Xiao Tongzi counted the items for three whole days and found that there were more than 500,000 taels of gold and silver, as well as various pearls, jade, calligraphy and paintings, etc., which could be conservatively estimated to be at least 300,000 or 400,000 taels.
If the true value of these gold and silver could only be reflected through tangible materials, she felt that she could build a city even if she just engaged in construction.
Gold and silver are valuable because they can be exchanged for tangible food and clothing that people need.
Of course, with these, Jiang Yizhou doesn't have to worry about money issues for the time being and can expand the scale of construction.
News came from Yunshan that the wages previously "borrowed" by the landlords and gentry had finally exploded.
When Jiang Yizhou was rescuing the clerks at the grain station, there was a fierce commotion over there.
Fortunately, Jiang Yizhou did not transfer Qi Hao and Wei Ke back. They used force and public opinion and deconstruction to calm the situation.
But that was only temporary. Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the conflict between the workers and the landlords and gentry broke out again.
Because she was the notary who signed the employment agreement, with the help of someone with ulterior motives, the fire spread to Yunshan Farm.
They have been guarding outside the farm every day, which has seriously affected the farm's production operations. This time they have to go back and deal with it in person no matter what.
Jiang Yizhou arranged the affairs of Tianshui and especially instructed the captain of the guard, Shu Tong, to strictly guard against all outsiders.
Do a good job of patrolling every day and stay vigilant.
Although she had managed to cut off all the thugs and wealth of those families last time, there was no guarantee that they would come to her house and make a scene.
As for other things, Yunxin will be in charge of the land development, and Yucui will be in charge of digging the canal. Everyone just needs to proceed step by step according to the previous plan.
After making all the arrangements, Jiang Yizhou carefully sorted out the various weapons and hidden weapons he had collected from the killers last time.
Swords and machetes were too conspicuous, so she planned to have them reforged and distributed to the guards on the farm.
She found two pieces of soft golden armor, the kind that can be worn close to the body for self-defense.
If she had worn this, she might not have been so embarrassed and injured by the poison needle.
She put one on like a vest and modified the other into an arm guard.
I put together a set of sleeve arrows, which look similar to wrist guards and have a machine inside that can fire small arrows.
The small arrow is about one finger long and a little thinner than chopsticks. Twelve small arrows can be embedded in it, and the range is about three or four meters. If it is farther, the lethality and accuracy will be greatly reduced.
This is very good for sneak attacks, making up for her lack of long-range attack methods.
There are also three sets of poison needles and poison needle launchers, which are similar to whistles, but slightly longer. They can only be refilled one by one. Unless you can ambush in advance and launch a surprise attack, there is no time to do this in a frontal battle.
If you throw it directly with your hands, you must use internal strength to be lethal. But there is a disadvantage, that is, the poison on it can easily get on your hands, and you can get yourself into trouble if you are not careful.
Jiang Yizhou filled the launch tubes for three poison needles and put them aside for use, and also placed the remaining poison needles in a special container.
There were dozens of short knives among Jiang Yizhou's spoils. For those killers, in addition to the broadswords and long swords, this kind of short knife is almost standard equipment for everyone. It is usually worn on the calf. Some even have two or more.
It can be used as a flying knife or in close combat.
Jiang Yizhou picked out a few swords with better steel mouthpieces and put them on himself.
Finally, there are the dozen or so nooses.
I don't know what material this thing is made of. It looks thinner than an ordinary data cable, but it is surprisingly tough and difficult to cut with ordinary knives.
If I had really been trapped in this net at that time, I would probably have found it difficult to escape.
After clearing out all the noose, it looks like a thin copper tube as long as a finger. After unscrewing it, one end becomes a barb and the other side is a small launching device that shoots out four or five meters, which is exactly the length of the noose.
Of course, you can also not fire it, but pull it out directly and use it for assassination: strangle the neck from behind, three inches into the flesh.
Jiang Yizhou also brought two with him.
Everything was ready, and Jiang Yizhou returned to Yunshan alone on horseback that afternoon.
As for the life force consumed by the body, it can only be recovered through slow cultivation in the future.
After nearly a day and night of rapid travel, we arrived at Yunshan at noon the next day.
Jiang Yizhou had just stepped onto the cement road leading to Yunshan when he saw from afar a large group of people sitting and lying on the road in the courtyard outside the farm.
Jiang Yizhou carefully drove his horse through the crowd.
Someone recognized her and the crowd suddenly became excited.
They followed one after another, or knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Master Jiang, help us, Master Jiang, please help us, Master Jiang——"
Jiang Yizhou ignored the kowtows and pleas for mercy and just shouted: "If you have anything to say, go to the meeting place and talk about it—"
Then he planned to leave as soon as possible.
But these people knelt directly in the middle of the road, blocking Jiang Yizhou's way.
If it were someone else, seeing the other person riding towards them, they would have already avoided him like a quail.
But they were sure that Master Jiang did not dare to drive them away, so they stood in front of the horse, as if to say, "If you don't meet my requirements and help me, you are not allowed to pass."
Jiang Yizhou frowned slightly when he saw this scene, but he still patiently shouted: "Everyone, get out of the way, wait for me to return to the farm first, and everyone can sit down and talk slowly about anything——"
As soon as she finished speaking, a voice emerged from the ragged crowd: "Humph, sit down and talk slowly? Then you will definitely fool us again."
"That's right, don't believe her. Yunshan Farm has deceived us time and time again. We can't let her leave like this this time."
"Yes, I can't leave."
The more these people talked, the more they came forward, gathering in the middle of the cement road, completely blocking Jiang Yizhou's way.
