"The world is dangerous, my brother has two things to give you." Chai Jin said, pulling out a silk-wrapped bag from the cabinet and spreading it on the table. One is a soft golden armor and a vest with densely woven golden steel wire. The other is a short hunting knife.

"This soft armor can defend against swords and has a protective power of less heavy armor, but it is also quite good. This short sword is made of snowflake iron and steel, with a sharp hair blowing blade. It is better for you to defend yourself when you are outside." Chai Jin said.

Shi Xiu's chin was almost falling out in surprise. Who hadn't heard of the soft armor of gold wire, all of which were heirlooms and worshipped as treasures. Not to mention its real value, just say that this thing is made of workmanship. This soft armor requires a skilled craftsman to complete this set of soft armor for one or two years. The soft armor of gold wire is not gold, but steel wire is gold-plated, but when it is high, it has a price but no market. You have no place to buy three thousand taels of silver.

This hunting knife is not an ordinary product. It is covered with snowflake patterns, with sharp edges and exquisite workmanship. It is definitely a treasure knife.

Shi Xiu said: "This set of soft armor and this treasure sword are probably worth less than three or four thousand taels of silver. It is too expensive. How dare Shi Xiu accept it?"

"Brother Shi Xiu is righteous and helps you when you see injustice. He is a rare man. How can you measure your true friendship with you and me? If I have trouble one day, Chai Jin, will Brother Shi Xiu not help because of danger?" Chai Jin said.

Shi Xiu said: "I definitely don't know. Brother is in trouble. Even if there are many difficulties, Shi Xiu will help you."

"That's it. No matter how good the treasure is, it is just an external thing. If you set up the horses for your brother, it will be considered a blessing for the people. In the future, the people will use mules to plow the land and pull carts, which will be a blessing for Brother Shi Xiu." Chai Jin said.

Seeing that Shi Xiu refused, he carefully took it away. Chai Jinfushi Shi Xiu put the soft golden armor on his body, and there was a coat outside, so he couldn't tell from him.

Shi Xiu went back and prepared. He would take people to Zhending Mansion to sell horses again tomorrow.

Chai Jin came to the school ground, and everyone was actively training. The queue had been practiced well, and the obedience of the guards was greatly improved. Everyone admired Chai Jin's ability to train troops. They admired that the training was too powerful, and they were afraid of tossing people. People who could stand in a military posture were trembling.

Chai Yong took people to Xicun to replace Chai Meng and arranged for Chai Meng to go back to the school to train. Chai Meng also brought back a shocking news. A bandit came out more than a hundred miles south, reporting the number of the mountain dragon. The peak of the mountain in the south refers to the cobra, and the mountain dragon in the north refers to the white-haired wind blowing when it snows in winter. The strong wind is mixed with snowflakes, covering the earth like a dragon. The bandit's name means it is very powerful, and no grass grows wherever it passes.

"Chai Meng, is the news reliable? Is this group of bandits so close to us, so it is dangerous?" Chai Jin said.

"The news is reliable. There are about three or four hundred bandits. The day before yesterday, he broke a village and snatched all the food and animals. Anyone who dared to resist was Yidao. The leader was a short man, who was said to have a wide range of interests, and he robbed all cattle, sheep, and animals of women." Chai Meng said.

Chai Jin had no choice. He had just traveled over for a few days, and there were no scouts, nor any spies and intelligence officers under his command.

Chaijiazhuang is rich, and I recently bought more than 200 horses. It is hard to guarantee that I will not become a fat sheep in the eyes of bandits. Even if the bandits cannot defeat Chaijiazhuang, it will be disgusting to come and grab something.

Chai Jin immediately sent two smart guards to inquire about the news, and the military strategy says that you know yourself and your enemy and win every battle.

The guards were training horse riding again today. The group left the village and trained towards the sandy river beach in the east of the village, and rode back and forth. The first step of training was to be proficient in horse riding and cooperate with people and horses, so that they could not be tired. Wu Song's performance was still eye-catching, but he learned how to ride a horse in two days. Of course, he just learned how to learn it. It was still too early to go there.

At this time, the village was in an uproar. Because good news came again. He recruited female workers and asked for over 18 years old, with a monthly salary of 600 yuan. He worked at Chai's house. He included food and accommodation, and the bonus was calculated. And there were nine people at once. Such good news was in full swing. The registration center of Dongcun Square was crowded with more than a dozen people. The sister-in-law of the Yang family shouted that she had been queuing for a long time before she signed up for her daughter Yang Da Yatou. Everyone had some thoughts. The daughter sent to Chai's house to work, at least she had to meet Chai's house frequently. Chai Da Yatou was young, handsome, and rich. If she could marry her daughter to Chai Jin, she would be rich and worry-free in the rest of her life.

Of course, Chai Jin didn't know these little thoughts, and the nine maids recruited were not around Chai Jin, but worked in the kitchen and pig farm. Because Chai Jin transferred four maids from the kitchen to guard the machine in the back garden.

The metal factory is processing the wooden handles of the engineer shovels. Two female workers look at the factory and put wood into it every ten minutes, get the finished product and get the waste. The entire process is just an external assistance and there is no need to start. Two female workers, one shift is six hours, two shifts a day, can produce more than 500 wooden handles.

Elm, willow, jujube and ash are all good choices for processing wooden handles. The wooden handle is one meter and two meters long, has a high hardness, is smooth and scar-free, and its workmanship is completely at the level of art.

"How much has it been produced?" Chai Jin came in and asked.

The female worker on duty turned out to be Chai Jin's personal maid named Hongyan, which is to help Chai Jin put on clothes, but she didn't expect that Chai Jin would no longer need her to serve him. However, she is now the director of a metal factory, responsible for command and dispatch.

Hongyan said: "Young Master, now the stock has been bundled with 800 pieces, and it's okay to get 1,000 pieces off work today. We are not tired, but this machine is very strange and will not move at that time."

"Don't worry, it should be enough for 1,500 tomorrow afternoon. I will send someone to carry it. I will produce shovels from the day after tomorrow." Chai Jin said.

Hongyan asked: "Young Master, do you need to dig the river channel by producing so many shovels?"

"No, the gangs in the river excavation have their own farm tools, and blacksmith shops must be built. The shovels we make are many times better than ordinary shovels. As for what they are used for, you should not inquire about them, and you will know when the time comes." Chai Jin said.

Hongyan was so scared that she stuck out her tongue. She came here to work but signed a confidentiality agreement. She could not ask what should not be asked, and could not say what should not be said. Otherwise, deducting money and fines would be a trivial matter. What's more, Hongyan had been serving Chai Jin for several years and knew Chai Jin's temper.

Chai Jin wanted to organize the strong men. Chaijiazhuang had exactly 1,500 households, each with one resident, and the team leader was 1,500, with a total of 1,500 people. Each of them had a scoop. They were trained occasionally, and they could withstand for a while if they had anything to do.

The next morning, seven hundred strong men gathered in Dongcun Plaza, each of which was a team of 100 people. The organization was very simple, with one team, two teams, and three teams.

Chai Jin stood first and said at the top of his voice: "These days are not peaceful, wild wolves and wild boars are making trouble, and bandits have recently emerged."

Chai Jin's throat was in an uproar, and the villagers clamored.
Chapter completed!
