The end of the military era

This small courtyard was bought by Zhou Rui, and it was originally planned to house a singer from Wanhualou.

The name of that Qingguan singer was Liu Menglu. Not only did she have a sweet singing voice, but she was also quite beautiful, with a tall and charming figure.

If Sun Xiushu is a 95-point beauty, then Liu Menglu is at least a 90-point beauty.

Zhou Rui used to go to Wanhualou often, mainly to listen to Liu Menglu sing, and Zhou Rui was eager to redeem Liu Menglu's life and take him as his concubine.

It's a pity that in the last life, Wanhualou never agreed to Zhou Rui's ransom for Liu Menglu, even though Zhou Rui raised the price to 5 silver coins.

After Zhou Rui escaped from Ganyang City, he never heard of Liu Menglu again.

Zhou Rui asked Song Shenghe, Huang Zhigang, Li Donghu, and Li Dongbao to stand guard outside the gate of the small courtyard. Zhou Rui walked into the small courtyard alone and closed the gate behind him.

Song Shenghe, Huang Zhigang, Li Donghu, and Li Dongbao looked at each other, wondering what the young master was going to do?

About half an hour later, Zhou Xiaorong and Song Limin hurried over with four to five hundred soldiers armed with live ammunition.

At this time Zhou Rui suddenly opened the gate of the courtyard, "Second Uncle, Captain Song, come in, I have a surprise for you!

Big Head, Scar, Black Tiger, and Leopard, you all come in too! "

After Zhou Rui opened the door of a wing room, Zhou Xiaojian, Song Limin and Zhou Rui's four bodyguards all became dumbfounded.

Silver Mountain!A mountain of silver!

At this time, the spacious wing room has been filled with pieces of silver bricks.

"Major General, this is this?"

Zhou Xiaojian felt that his tongue was not working well.

How many silver coins are worth a house of silver bricks?

Zhou Xiaojian not only felt that his tongue was not working well, it seemed that his brain was not working well.

"Second Uncle, Captain Song, there are 2.4 silver bricks in this room, and each silver brick weighs 50 catties, which is equivalent to 1200 million silver coins.

I have signed a purchase contract with the Navy of the Red Tiger Empire. I have purchased a Blizzard-class all-steel battleship and two Iceknife-class armored cruisers from the Navy of the Red Tiger Empire with 1000 million silver coins. I also purchased ammunition for 200 million silver coins. .

At nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, outside the military port of Ganyang City, the two parties handed over the money with one hand, and delivered three warships and 200 million silver coins of ammunition with the other hand.

How about it?Is this a big surprise? "

"What? A Blizzard class? Two Ice Blades?

Major General, are you kidding me? "

Song Limin was already trembling with excitement.

At this time Zhou Rui's personal bodyguard Song Shenghe said: "Uncle, the second young master really bought an all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers! The contracts are signed!"

Song Shenghe is Song Limin's nephew.

"I'm not dreaming, am I? Our coastal defense fleet actually wants to add an all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers!

Major general, my life, Song Limin, will be yours from now on. If you say go east, I will never go west! "

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "Old Song, the warships have been bought for you, and I will ask the coastal defense fleet to make these three warships capable of combat as soon as possible!

I don't know if three months is enough time? "

Hearing this, Song Limin said with a serious expression: "Major General, now that we have added an all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers, the personnel of our coastal defense fleet must be expanded.

If there is no problem with military spending."

Zhou Rui waved his hand, "How much military expenditure does the coastal defense fleet need? You can ask, Lao Song. I only ask that the three warships must have at least a certain combat effectiveness in three months."

"Major General, as long as there is no problem with the military expenditure, after three months, I guarantee that the three warships can be put into battle at any time! I am willing to issue a military order!"

Chapter 8 Expansion Plan

In the evening, in Zhou Xiaozheng's bedroom, Zhou Xiaozheng lying on the bed had a very complicated expression on his face, some were excited, some were relieved, and more were puzzled.

"Xiao Rui, tell Dad the truth, where did you get the 2.4 silver bricks used to buy the three warships and the accompanying ammunition?"

Zhou Rui chuckled, "Father, just pretend that your son has dug up a big treasure!

Some things are simply unbelievable when explained, so I think it's better not to talk about them.

Anyway, our Zhou family may lack everything in the future, but we should not be short of money anymore! "

Wen Yu next to him laughed and scolded: "You brat, why are you still hiding from us, where did so many silver bricks come from?

Listening to your tone, apart from those 2.4 silver bricks, you should have quite a few silver bricks in your hands! "

"Mom, that's my little treasury, don't think about my little treasury."

Regarding the matter of the lottery system, just like the matter of rebirth, Zhou Rui will not tell anyone, including his parents of course.

This has nothing to do with trust or distrust. Zhou Rui just doesn't want to add mental pressure to his parents. After all, even Zhou Rui can't figure out why he was reborn. The whole thing is really weird.

At this time Zhou Xiaozheng said: "Since you don't want to talk about it, then your mother and I won't get to the bottom of it, but you have to remember that good steel should be used on the blade.

Ahem, the garrison brigade is the foundation of our Zhou family, no matter how much money is spent in the garrison brigade, it is worth it.

Dad is very pleased that you can add an all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers to the coastal defense fleet of the garrison brigade this time, you have grown up.

Ahem, with these three warships, the scale of the coastal defense fleet will surpass that of the Xiyun Fleet of the Liu family in Xiyun City, and become the most powerful fleet in Fengwu Town. Our Zhou family is in Ganyang City, and even in the entire Fengwu The status of the town will be unshakable! "

Hearing that his father stopped asking where the silver bricks came from, Zhou Rui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Sometimes a lie needs more lies to cover it up.

As long as his parents don't question the origin of the silver bricks in his hands, Zhou Rui doesn't need to explain other people's doubts at all.

Then Zhou Xiaozheng changed his voice, "Your second uncle said, you found out that Jia An colluded with the Cui family?"

Zhou Rui pondered for a while and said, "Father, although I don't have any direct evidence in my hand, Jia An must have a second heart for our Zhou family."

"Ahem, you don't need to worry about this matter, Dad will help you deal with it."

"Father, there is one thing I want to discuss with you. The second uncle is also the head of the newly rebuilt First Infantry Regiment. I am going to let Song Shenghe take over as the head of the First Infantry Regiment."

"That nephew of Song Limin?"

"Yes, that's him! Dad, Song Shenghe went to the military academy in Shuonan Town before, and was also a deputy company commander in the Shuonan Army. In addition, he has been by my side for the past two years. I also trust his character. of."

"can."
