Li Zixiao went down the mountain this time to hijack the Li family caravan, in addition to seizing a large amount of grain and cotton cloth, he also seized 500 taels of silver tickets, and killed the rout of the official army, and also seized a large amount of money and grain from them, and the silver alone added up to nearly 300 taels.

This should be the silver they obtained from looting the entire Wangjiabao, in fact, those peasants did not have much silver in their hands, and this silver was mainly dug up from the cellar of the only landlord in Wangjiabaozi.

Not counting the necessary materials such as grain and cotton cloth, Li Zixiao has more than 1,000 taels of silver in his hand, which is enough for him to do a lot of things.

This is also the reason why he wants to give fifty taels of silver to Zhang Ergouzi and Quartz, one is that he is rich, and the other is to motivate his subordinates and set an example for all his subordinates, so that they know that as long as they follow him and work hard, they will be rewarded for their merits.

"Eat, it's delicious!"

After Li Zixiao gave his subordinates a summary and reward meeting, he started a sumptuous dinner, two large pots of pork stewed wild vegetables, piles of white noodles, and more than 60 people in the cottage ate their mouths full of oil.

"Woo, I never thought that I would not be frozen to death and starved to death when I left home to beg, but I could still eat meat, which I could only eat a little meat during the Chinese New Year in the past!"

Eating, eating, someone actually cried, and said in a choked voice while crying.

"Who's to say it's not, I still thought I was dreaming, this meat is so delicious!" The one next to him was still pulling the food into his mouth, and his mouth Li said vaguely.

"This is why we are lucky, with the big boss, now I think about the life we used to live, it is simply not a human life, I can't even fill my stomach all day, my mother and sister were starved to death."

"Yes, follow the big boss, there is meat to eat."

These guys ate fatty pork, and one by one recalled the days when they were hungry and cold, and they couldn't eat all day long, and they really admired Li Zixiao further.

"Big boss, this is a list of all the materials we have in the cottage now, you can see it."

At this time, Li Zixiao had already finished eating, and Old Master Wei was showing him the list of material accounts that had just been sorted out.

"Yes, yes! With this batch of grain and cotton clothing reserves, we will be better off this winter. Li Zixiao saw the list of materials counted by Old Master Wei, and an excited smile appeared on his face.

The looted Li family's caravan and the grain snatched from the rout of the official army added up to nearly 10,000 catties, enough for them to eat for a long time, and there was no need to worry about the lack of food for the time being this winter.

"Those cotton cloths can't be put in the warehouse, it seems that we have to find a way to make these cotton cloths into cotton clothes, so that everyone in our cottage has a brand new cotton clothes, and this winter will be much better."

"The kindness of the great boss, it would be great if it did. However, now there are all these big and rough people in the cottage, and none of them can do needlework, so they need to find another way to make cotton clothes. ”

"It's not difficult, I already have a way, don't worry." Li Zixiao already had a plan in his heart.

The next day before dawn, with Li Zixiao's whistle, everyone immediately climbed out of the quilt and ran to the cottage playground to gather.

The results of yesterday's two battles had let these people know that training was useful, and now they no longer have any resistance to such hard training.

After all, this is what they use to save their lives on the battlefield, and they have already tasted the benefits of staying in the cottage last night, what is it if they are well fed, warmly dressed, and train hard.

Seeing such a fast gathering speed of his subordinates this morning, Li Zixiao finally nodded with satisfaction and started his morning exercise and running.

At this time, Li Zixiao had food and money in his hands, and he decided whether it was time to recruit more people, otherwise he might not be able to stand the cottage with only the sixty or so people in the cottage at this time.

If this lets the other bandits know that he has a large amount of food in his hands, and he doesn't come to rob it, he will be finished if he can't beat it then.

Moreover, Li Zixiao is still worried that they have killed the army of more than a dozen people this time, in case the news leaks, they will have to face the encirclement and suppression of the official army that may come, and if they do not have sufficient strength in their hands, I am afraid that they will be exterminated by the official army, and then the end of him, the bandit leader, will be miserable.

So, at this time, Li Zixiao had two main things in mind, one was recruitment, the other was training, and both should be caught at the same time, so as to enhance the strength of the cottage in the shortest possible time.

After breakfast, the training of pikemen and sword and shield soldiers was carried out in the cottage as always, and at this time, Li Zixiao called Wei Laofuzi, Zhou Dazhu, Dong Zhuang and Zhang Ergouzi over.

"Do you know what I'm looking for you two?"

Dong Zhuangzi and Zhang Ergouzi shook their heads at the same time.

"I'm going to send the two of you down the mountain to do something, one is to recruit people, and the other is to purchase some daily supplies, such as wine, salt, and even if possible, to purchase a batch of iron, our cottage blacksmith shop has been built, and in the future, we will build our own weapons."

Li Zixiao said to Dong Zhuangzi and Zhang Ergouzi very seriously.

"Zhang Ergouzi, you are responsible for recruiting people, there are two standards for recruiting people, you must be healthy and strong men, they will be the main force of our battle in the future.

Second, you can choose skilled carpenters and blacksmiths, even if it is a drag, and those experienced veterans, if you are willing to join our cottage, it would be even better.

Remember, tell them that as long as they are willing to join our cottage and can endure hardships and training, we will be full here, and each person will be given a cotton coat. ”

"Yes, the big boss, leave this matter to the small one." Zhang Ergouzi hurriedly reassured.

"In addition to recruiting people, there is another purpose for sending you down the mountain, that is, I hope you can establish our eyes and ears in the surrounding villages and even in Yongcheng County, so that we can know the movements of the government at any time."

"This, no problem, but if you want to do this, you have to work up and down in the county seat, this ......"

Zhang Ergouzi's meaning is obvious, that is, this job is easy to do, but you have to have money to do it, this year money can make ghosts grind.

"Don't worry, this is a silver ticket of fifty taels, as your activity funds, I want you to guarantee that in the future, if there is any disturbance in the county government, I will know it as soon as possible."

Seeing a silver ticket of fifty taels handed to him by Li Zixiao, Zhang Ergouzi's eyes lit up, he had never seen such a large denomination silver ticket when he was so big.

In an instant, Zhang Ergouzi even had the idea of running away with money in his heart, but as soon as this idea came out, he cut it off, and it seems that the development in the cottage is more promising.

"And you, Dong Zhuo, I remember when you were in Liujiabao, you said that you used to follow Liujiabao's convoy to the county to purchase supplies, and this time you are still doing your old job.

Let you go down the mountain to be responsible for purchasing a batch of daily necessities, the old master will hand it over to you, as for the iron materials, you can also find a way to see if you can buy them, as for the procurement of weapons, I don't want to think about it for the time being, it is easy to attract the attention of the official.

Here are three hundred taels of silver tickets, you bring them, use them to purchase materials, you have to be more careful when you get to the county, especially when purchasing iron, you can ask Zhang Ergouzi where to buy iron safely, he is familiar with the county.

In addition, I will ask Zhou Dazhu to wait for you outside the county with a group of brothers, and when you finish purchasing supplies, they will escort you back to the cottage. ”

Li Zixiao handed six silver tickets of fifty taels to Dong Zhuo, he took them with trembling hands, and promised: "We must live up to the trust of the big boss and successfully complete this task." ”

"Don't worry, I'll bring Timo back safely." Zhou Dazhu also said on the side.

Zhou Dazhu took more than a dozen people, drove the carts that were robbed back from the Li family's caravan, and carried Zhang Ergouzi and Dong Zhuang towards Yongcheng County.

Sitting in the car, Dong Xiang arched his hand to Zhang Ergouzi and said politely: "Brother Ergouzi, when you get to the county seat, I hope to help the elder brother, and the elder brother is grateful." ”

"Brother Dong, don't worry, we are all working for the big bosses, we should help each other, and we can get my Zhang Ergouzi, brother, even if you open your mouth, there is no place in Yongcheng County that I am not familiar with."

Zhang Ergouzi used to be a ruffian in Yongcheng County, he was really right, he was really familiar with this county.
