009 ready to robbery
Li You now needs to find money. He can't rely on the money from his family to support so many people, and the family can't support it at all. His approach is also very straightforward, and that is to rob. As for whoever robs, it is naturally the mountain bandit's. .
When he came up with this idea, Yao Ping was very scared. Li You now knows that his biological father was robbed by mountain bandits in Jianzhou and killed him. Although he has no desire for revenge, he Knowing that these bandits are rich, they can at least kill two birds with one stone if they are suppressed.
There are reasons why the officials can’t do this. Li You is very clear about these nasty things in the officialdom. There are only a hundred bandits. They really want to say that they can’t be done. It’s just that every time the officials The family took action to suppress them, and there was no one left. To put it bluntly, they didn't even know where their cottage was. This was a good indication of the background of the bandits.
By the small river, Yao Ping looked at the eight-year-old lord, and he was beating in his heart. He didn't know what Li You thought about this matter, but he still expressed his own opinion: "A Lang, I can't do this, this mountain Not to mention that we can’t suppress the bandits. Even if there are people, it’s not so easy. The officials suppressed the bandits five times. That time, we’ve got rid of the bandits. Now we have no one and no money. How do we do it? If the wife knew about this, she would definitely not let Alang make you foolish."
Li You sat on the side of the road, looking at the flowing river, without turning his head, only said: "Uncle Ping, I am sure of this matter. We have collected more than forty people, so we took this opportunity to see if they dare to do this. If you dare not, we don’t keep it. Don’t worry, many people will not die."
If it weren’t for Yao Ping to know what his Young Master is like, Li You’s words just now would be enough to shock other people. Even Yao Ping’s heartbeat is a bit fierce now. When a child mentions murder, he feels that there is no wave in his heart. This is hard to believe.
"Uncle Ping, once this matter is done, our family will no longer endure the humiliation of the officials."
As soon as Li You said this, Yao Ping knew that the young master of his mother already knew about his mother. No wonder the young master asked him to recruit so many 15- or 6-year-old children. At this.
In the next few days, Li You and Yao Ping looked for some craftsmen to make crossbow accessories. When the time comes, install the accessories and the crossbow will be ready. This is not an ordinary thing. If anyone finds that someone has them. Crossbow, but if it is a crime. Regarding the recruits, Li You also bluntly told them to do life-killing things. This really frightened some people. In the end, only about 30 people were willing to do it.
Those who were expelled also regretted it a bit. According to their current thinking, the young master was watching whether they listened to everything, and then they said something earth-shattering, letting them kill and overwhelm them. But regret is useless, Yao Ping has given 30 dollars each to send them away.
The remaining people are now placed in a house outside Nancheng. The house is rented by Yao Ping, not far from Qinghe Village. The remaining people can stay because they are younger. Those who left were basically teenagers around the age of sixteen, and all those who were left were fourteen or five-year-olds. Those with younger siblings did not leave.
Because these people were young and simple in their minds, they stayed. Since Yao Ping took them in, he has arranged a place for them and their younger siblings, so that they can eat and live a stable life every day, and no longer have to travel for the days of hunger and cold. For this, all of them are very grateful to Li You, the young master.
Moreover, Li You said that he would teach them martial arts so that they would not worry about their livelihoods in the future. They are also willing to serve their lives. After all, they are people who have no livelihood.
On the open space of the yard, these fourteen or five-year-olds stood listening to Li You's words.
"In order to see if you can kill people, I plan to let you go to kill the mountain bandits and practice your hands. I will send you a crossbow at that time, so that you don't have to face them up close. Can you dare? "
"Since you are staying, please rest assured, the young master, even if your hands are trembling, you can release the arrow." A teenager said.
"What's your name?" Li You asked.
"Little Hongwu."
"Hong Ming is your brother?"
"Yes, Young Master, thank you Young Master for taking in. If it weren't for Young Master, I told my brother that I must not survive." Hong Wu clasped his fist in a salute.
Seeing him like this, Li You asked again: "Hong Wu, have you studied and practiced etiquette?"
"When I was in my hometown, I was studying. This flood, nothing was lost. The court's disaster relief money was also deducted by some people. It was really impossible to survive. That's why I came to the middle of Shu."
"Well, since you are willing to follow me, you will control it from now on." After finishing speaking, Li You said to others: "The mountain bandits have been linked with the official, and they have been unfavorable repeatedly. This matter is me. The reason for this is that as for the property after success, you will have your share, and you will have a good life in the future. As for the bandit, it is easy to deal with. You can do it easily as long as you obey me. I will give you half a month. Let you train and then set off."
"Young Master, rest assured, I am waiting to follow Young Master." Another person stood up and said.
Li You nodded and called Yao Ping out of the courtyard. As soon as he came out, he said: "Uncle Ping, you can't stay here for a long time. After a few days, the crossbow will come. If someone informs you, it's not us. If you get away, you can find a place in Dongyang County to settle them down."
"Well, I will start this tomorrow."
Three days later, all the crossbow accessories made according to Li You's requirements were shipped to Li's house. Li You took a look and found it was not bad. As long as you get to the place, you can assemble it yourself. As for the arrow, it is simple. This is what you can buy originally. This is what the hunters need. Although it is not as good as the army, it is enough to kill.
Except for the crossbow body craftsman who knows what they are doing, the rest really don’t know what they are doing. The bow arm of the crossbow is made by the craftsman Li You with bamboo that has been dried for several years, or it is evenly made. They only need to open the lamella and paint it. Who knows what it is for? Even the crossbow string is made of silk thread, so basically no one knows.
At noon that day, Li You and Yao Ping left together. In the afternoon, they could go to Dongyang County. For Li Yao, she didn’t know Li You’s plan, and Yao Ping did not dare to say. If she knew, she wouldn’t dare to let Li. You go out.
When they arrived at a small courtyard under the mountain in Dongyang County, Hongwu asked them to take out everything. Li You began to teach them how to assemble the crossbow. The first is the bow arm. The bow arm requires five bamboo pieces of different lengths. There are corresponding openings on the film, just align the openings and wrap the silk thread, install the bowstring, and fit the bow arm to the crossbow body. This is not difficult, and it can be done overnight.
As for the power, it is not small, at least it can shoot a hundred meters and can hurt people. A bow and arrow at this distance can definitely be done.
Li You's plan is very simple. Every time there are goods passing through Jianzhou, when there are more goods, the bandit can come out. This matter is extremely simple. (End of this chapter)
