I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 634
After Ning Laosi told Ning Pengpeng about the casualties of the guards, he told his mother about the firearm he had inquired about from John.

Ning Pengpeng's eyes widened when he heard the word firearms.

Unexpectedly, the distant country actually had firearms at this time.

However, according to the description of the fourth brother, the firearm in John's hand is probably a bit like the kind of firearm that lights the match.

Although this kind of firearm is powerful, it is also easy to explode.

Moreover, the speed of ignition is also slow, only one shot at a time.

If they were to fight on the battlefield, they would probably cut their necks with knives before anyone could light the matchlock.

Ning Pengpeng thought for a while, calmed down, and told Ning Laosi what he was thinking.

On the way back, Fourth Ning naturally thought about the shortcomings of the firearm that his mother said.

He nodded and replied in agreement.

"Indeed, as my mother said, if this firearm can be improved, it must be a sharp weapon.

If it is like the one in John's hands, it will be difficult to be of great use unless it is to catch him off guard. "

"Actually, there is another way, that is to get some firearms teams.

One team attacks, one prepares, and one changes weapons.

In this way, the shortcoming of too long time can be covered up. "

Although the current firearms are indeed not that useful, but with a little strategy, they can be used to their full potential.

Hearing his mother's words, Fourth Ning's eyes lit up.

Then he got up and walked around the living room.

"Mother, you are doing very well.

Before this firearm can be improved, we have to train a few firearms teams first. "

With such a firearms team, I believe it can stop a hundred with one.

"You'd better think of a way first, get the firearms and then talk about it!"

Ning Pengpeng was not as excited as Ning Laosi, and directly poured cold water on him.

After all, based on what John told the fourth child, one could guess that John's locals spent a lot of effort to get this firearm.

For a foreigner like Ning Lao Si, if he wanted to buy this kind of firearm, he had to buy it in large quantities, which would be even more difficult.

Moreover, even if they obtained a large quantity of firearms, if the Ning family formed this firearms team privately, if the court knew about it, they might be suspected.

Hearing his mother's worries, Fourth Ning thought about it.

"Why not, let's train on Huludao.

Anyway, we don't use this firearms team unless we have to. "

When Ning Laosi said this, Ning Pengpeng's eyes lit up.

Yes, their family still has an island overseas!

"How about, the next time people pass by those towns, see if there are any young and helpless beggars.

If they are willing, they will be sent to Huludao to train well. "

Fourth Ning thought about the guards who died this time, and after thinking about it, he said to his mother again.

Ning Pengpeng was taken aback for a moment.

"A helpless beggar?"

"Yes, mother.

These helpless beggars, starving and freezing, may not see the sun the next day.

Why don't we give them a bite to eat so that they can have a chance to survive.

When you reach the age, you can become the most loyal guard of our family. "

Ning Pengpeng was silent for a moment, she knew that the fourth child was right, but she was still a little sad in her heart.

"I only hope that under the leadership of Emperor Tianxi, the Great Jin Dynasty will be able to cleanse the sea and clear the river."

Hearing what his mother said, Fourth Ning did not refute.

Although what mother said was correct, in Ning Laosi's heart, he felt that the Great Jin Dynasty was so big.

No matter how outstanding Emperor Tianxi was, he still couldn't control all the dark corners.

What's more, now that the court is bound by the power of the family, Emperor Tianxi is struggling.

I don't know how long it will take until Emperor Tianxi can really sit firmly on the dragon chair and control the world.

Although Ning Pengpeng was emotional, he didn't say anything against Ning Laosi's decision.

After all, as the fourth child said.

Taking those beggars to Huludao can be regarded as giving them a way to survive.

However, she ordered Ning Laosi.

When these children grow up, if they only want to live an ordinary life, then they will not be forced to be the guards of the Ning family.

Fourth Ning thought for a moment, then agreed.

As long as the conditions provided by the Ning family are sufficient, he does not believe that these children who have been raised since childhood will leave the Ning family.

About ten days later, after the carriage escorting the coffin arrived at Nanyue Fucheng, Fourth Ning got busy.

When the matter was over, all the goods that had been transported before were also loaded on the ship.

This time, Fourth Ning only took John away.

He left a task for Ning Mian'er to send the beggars brought back to Huludao.

On Huludao, under the leadership of Ning Laoer, hundreds of acres of fields have been opened up.

There are also a lot of crops planted in the field. Because the land is fertile, it can be seen that the output will definitely not be low.

In addition to these crops, there are also more and more pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks.

The people below never thought that they would still have a day that they couldn't finish eating.

Especially those chickens and ducks lay so many eggs every day, even if you pick up the eggs that can hatch chickens, the remaining eggs are not a small number.

Even if they eat it every day, they still can't finish eating so much!

Fortunately, when Ning's second child came to Huludao, Ning Pengpeng gave him a recipe on how to refine sea salt.

With this recipe, a small salt field was built on the beach of Huludao.

The extracted salt, in addition to serving the big guys, is used to marinate these eggs and fish and shrimp caught in the sea.

When Ning Mian'er arrived at Huludao with a group of little ones, Ning Er Er directly took her daughter's hand and told her what she thought.

"Father, do you want to grow pearls here in Huludao?"

Ning Mian'er's eyes widened, she didn't expect her own father to have such business acumen.

Second Ning rubbed the back of his head shyly, and replied embarrassedly.

"I also didn't expect it unintentionally. Since our family can grow pearls in Nanyue Prefecture, it makes no sense that we can't grow pearls on such a big island here.

Of course, the most important thing is that the pearls grown here do not need to pay taxes. "

This is the conclusion Ning Lao Er reached after he cultivated the fields and planted crops in Huludao.

Without taxation, it means that the output of the field is all their own, which can save a lot of money!
Ning Mian'er thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"Father, I'm going to tell my grandmother about this.

However, the children I brought this time will be arranged on the other side of the island.

There will be special people there, responsible for their daily life and other affairs.

As for eating and drinking, there will be people who will come to your side to make connections.

You just need to arrange the things needed by the people who come to do the docking, and that's it. "

Ning Mian'er didn't want Ning Laoer to know about taking these helpless beggars as guards.

　Ask for a monthly pass, please!
