Chapter 240: A 2 Deal
With the addition of the Fire Gun Squad and the sudden killing spree of the extraordinary people, the situation that had been out of control for several times finally eased up, and the situation was shifting towards Xiaofengzhuang.
What caused this change was the tall figure standing casually next to Chai Feng.
Unconsciously, Chen Changfan had already developed a natural prestige, as if as long as Chen Changfan stood there, everyone had a backbone in their hearts.
"Brother Chen, how many muskets do you have left? Do you have enough ammunition?"
After watching for a while, Chai Feng finally couldn't help but speak first.
"Brother Chai, given our friendship, I wouldn't be surprised if I gave you dozens of guns. However, these muskets are extremely complicated to manufacture, and the preparation of black powder is also very dangerous..."
Chen Changfan was still trying to gather his emotions when he heard Chai Feng say unhappily, "I want a hundred guns. Name your price."
"A gun costs 500 taels, Brother Chai, that's the only price I'll sell it to you."
When Chai Feng heard that a gun cost 500 taels, he couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly, but when he heard Chen Changfan's next words, Chai Feng felt slightly comforted.
One hundred guns would cost fifty thousand taels of silver.
But he could get 100 musketeers, which Chai Feng thought was still a good deal.
"Brother Chai, besides the musket, I also have black powder and iron sand. I'll sell them to you at a low price."
Chai Feng thought to himself that something was wrong and he almost forgot about the gunpowder and iron sand.
Without these two things, the musket would just be a pile of scrap metal.
"Gunpowder costs 1000 taels per box, and iron ore costs 800 taels per box. You have a hundred guns here. I'll calculate the minimum amount of gunpowder and iron ore you need to stockpile..."
At this time, Chen Changfan found that his mind was working extremely fast and he quickly calculated all the expenses.
"Forty thousand taels of gunpowder and ten thousand taels of iron ore, that's more than enough."
The corners of Chai Feng's mouth twitched again.
One hundred thousand taels.
Just buying these equipments cost 100,000 taels. This firearm army is really expensive.
However, since he saw such powerful equipment, he must find a way to get it.
The more thorough the initial preparation, the faster the subsequent development will be.
Bite your teeth and buy it!
"A deposit of two, and the rest will be paid upon delivery."
Chai Feng generously bid for the banknote, and Chen Changfan politely said "No, no need" while putting the banknote away.
This scene was seen by everyone in Chaijiabao, and they couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Xiaofeng Village should be grateful for the help from Chaijiabao, but Chen Changfan actually calculated it so clearly, which is really petty.
Chen Changfan simply ignored the looks from these people. He called Fang Chang and quickly presented him with several wooden boxes.
Chen Changfan gave Chai Feng ten muskets, along with several boxes of gunpowder and iron sand, in response.
It is our duty to calculate the accounts carefully.
Giving gifts in return is a favor.
Although he and Chai Feng have a close relationship, they still have to separate business and friendship. Once the two are confused, the two will sooner or later break up. There are too many examples of this.
"Delivery will be made to your door within one month." Chen Changfan promised.
"Also, there should be new weapons by then, and I will show them to Brother Chai in person."
Are there any new weapons?
Chai Feng glanced at Chen Changfan with interest and said, "Then I'll wait and see."
"Brother Chen, goodbye."
"Brother Chai, why don't you go to the village for a drink?"
"You definitely can't escape this dinner, but not today. Goodbye." Chai Feng bowed and said goodbye, then left with everyone in a mighty manner.
Chai Feng was right. Now that he had just eliminated the main force of the Rat Gang, it was time to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils.
Chai Feng is a perceptive man and knows that leaving at this time is the best option.
As for the smiling rat that had never been seen, no trace of it had been found so far, and no one knew anything about it when the captives were asked.
It seems that this guy has either escaped or is lurking somewhere waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Based on Chen Changfan's understanding of the Smiling Rat, he would definitely find a chance to take revenge on him.
"When cleaning up the battlefield, you must be careful and cautious. If you find something wrong, stab it first. It is better to kill the innocent than to let them go."
Apart from giving these instructions, there seems to be no better solution for the time being.
It's really unpleasant to feel like someone is always watching you from behind.
The skinning rat and the old silver coin that was secretly brewing a natural disaster gave him an lingering sense of crisis, but it would be difficult for him to find out the two in a short period of time, so he had to act more cautiously.
The purple-haired rats were killed first, and several golden-haired rats had also been captured long ago.
They were just larger rats, and they would be killed in one volley.
Of course, these golden rats are not completely useless.
A golden rat provides 1 insight point.
Nowadays, encounter points can no longer be used to deduce martial arts advancement, but they are still very useful for deducing some other skills.
The demand for fusion points is relatively large, and they are mainly used to improve the proficiency of martial arts.
As for epiphany points and reincarnation points, they are used to light up more skill trees.
Chen Changfan is not in a hurry to use the reincarnation points he has just obtained.
The Rat Gang's stored grain exceeded 300,000 kilograms, and transporting it was a big problem.
Previously, the Rat Gang had tens of thousands of moving hamsters, and moving 100,000 kilograms of grain was a piece of cake for them. However, if these 300,000 kilograms of grain were to be transported by oxen and horses, it would be a huge project.
"Why not just leave the food in the Rat Cave? It's like a natural cellar, but we need to disinfect it and prevent fires."
Chen Changfan ordered.
Seeing the dead rats all over the ground, there is no guarantee that there is no virus like plague.
In ancient times, the plague was extremely deadly. If people did not take precautions, many people would die.
"Boss, this rat den is so big. If we disinfect it completely, I'm afraid it will take a lot of rice vinegar and rice wine."
Shen Wanwu also agreed with Chen Changfan's opinion, but he felt a little distressed because the disinfection cost a lot of money.
In ancient times, there was no disinfectant, so people usually used vinegar or wine for disinfection, which was not only wasteful but also ineffective.
He knew how to prepare disinfectant, but he couldn't do it in a short time.
"Some of the caves in the Rat Cave have been burned, so they should be relatively clean. Move the food there first. I'll prepare the disinfectant in a few days."
The fire that Chen Changfan had set before was also a disguised form of high-temperature disinfection, but there should be some blind spots, so we can only wait until the disinfectant is prepared in the future.
"Burn the rat carcasses together. Remember to wet the linen with vinegar and cover their mouths and noses."
After explaining all this, Chen Changfan felt a little relieved. He went deeper into the cave again, intending to look through the belongings of the Five Rats again.
The fire was out, and the soldiers opened the blocked holes. The smoke had almost dissipated.
When Chen Changfan entered the cave, he was hit by the aroma of meat.
"I almost forgot about those little rats. They must have been roasted to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside."
