C1524 The Fire Beacon of the old ginseng head (1/2)

The sound of the cannons being fired was worth ten thousand taels of gold. This was not nonsense. Rifle, cannons, bullets, uniforms, belts, various tools, medical supplies … There were also cement, steel bars, and various wood parts for construction.

Adding on the soldiers' food, drinks, and disability pension, Xiao Letian's initial military budget for the war in the Far East was between six hundred and a billion silver.

To put it bluntly, this fortune had already drained all of Xiao Letian's financial surplus, and was even living off of debt. Everything else, besides the small-scale inflation that he had experienced when issuing paper money, his paper money had also been secretly overpaid. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have the money to fight in a war.

Of course the Dragon Lord would not tell the truth, but after drinking, he revealed a little bit of the truth, he did not reveal too much, and only reported a figure of 500 million. This was actually to use the old ginseng head's mouth to cheer the entire Far East Survivor on, and to indirectly tell them how rich the Chinese were.

The old ginseng head was almost scared to death, the number of 100 million was already higher than his usual mathematical concepts. In that era, people could understand at least 10 thousand, or even 10 thousand, but once the number rose by a few hundred thousand, or even a few million, people's brains would not be enough.

They were unable to form a concept of several million in their hearts. Just how many silver coins were there in a pile? What about a few million silver taels? What about millions? What about millions of pounds of food? The concepts of these images are not in their minds.

They just thought that the number was really big, so big that they didn't dare to imagine it, and today, Dragon Lord had directly thrown out a hundred million units, causing old ginseng head's head to go completely blank. He couldn't understand it at all, but he knew that Dragon Lord wasn't someone who would lie.

At that moment, he could only treat the Chinese world where the prime minister and the prime minister lived as a paradise, a place that mortals couldn't even reach.

Rubbing his cold face, old ginseng head pulled his thoughts back to reality. He raised his hand and slapped the brat from his generation on the head, ”Why are you asking so many questions? Can you understand if I tell you? ”Hurry and lead the horse …”

”How much is it …?” ”I can tell you, fill up all the rooms and granaries in our village, and let them all flow down. That's all!”

Wow! The eyes of the group of kids all turned blue. ”I've thought about it, in another two years I'll be serving as a soldier. I want to go to the southern region where the prime minister lives. How can they be so lucky?”

”Let's go, let's hurry up and send the consoles up. If we let the hunters from the mountain take the lead, then our favors will be discounted …” The group of people excitedly urged their horses forward. But at this time, from the forest on the west side of the mountain road, they suddenly heard an intense sound of horse hooves.

”A fast horse?” What kind of person was this that the dark sky would ride so fast in the forest? I don't want to live anymore … Scatter around and take a closer look! ” With old ginseng head's order, the half grown boys took up their bows, arrows, earth, and fire spears and began to spread out their guard.

Everyone squinted their eyes as they borrowed the weak light ray to look at the forest. Indeed, four war horses suddenly sprang out of the forest and rushed towards Haishenwai.

”Hmm? Military uniform, quickly look at the military uniform … It was the uniform of the brave army! Light blue... Quick, rush up to welcome them! ” Even though old ginseng head was old, his eyes were still sharp. He jumped out from the cover of the trees and waved his hands. ”We're on our own.

The war horse rushed to the front of old ginseng head and the rider at the front. Without saying a word, he fell from the horse's back onto the snow, scaring everyone, who quickly surrounded him.

This knight was clearly the leader of the group. When the other three soldiers saw their leader dismount, they quickly jumped off their horses, took off their rifles, and laid down to guard.

”Quick, save the officer... The enemy is behind us, it's the Russian! ”

old ginseng head carried the unconscious officer up and took out a wine gourd. He bit open the cork and poured it into his mouth.
