【The first update today!】

What Liu Yihua said was actually not completely fabricated. Yanhua system Xueer told Liu Yihua that the reason why Yanhua system chose this place was that this place was near the sea. If the team organized by Liu Yihua could not win, they could escape. Liu Yihua could be a fast fighter alone and flew away in an instant, but the team members organized by Liu Yihua were not good. If they encountered large-scale encirclement of the Qing soldiers, what should these team members do?

At this time, the various ships that Liu Yihua purchased in 1997 worked. The only ones of these ships were fishing boats, and there were no weapons on them. This ship could be used in any historical period according to the Yanhua system, because it was only running to the sea to take refuge and fish, and its impact on history was indeed limited.

Another thing is that there is a very hidden cave in this place. Generally speaking, there are not many mountains by the sea, and there are very few caves. This cave can hide a large amount of weapons and ammunition and can also be used as a command base.

In addition, this village has close contact with Zhou Xiuying's uprising army, which means that the mass base is very good, so after many considerations, the Yanhua system decided to use this place as Liu Yihua's landing point.

When Liu Wufeng heard Liu Yihua say this, he suddenly realized: "Oh, no wonder you suddenly appeared. It turned out that this is what it was. It turned out that you had planned to buy so many gunpowder and bullets? Haha, brother, it seems that General Zhou Xiuying, Hong Fuqitian, with you, she will definitely be able to come out safely!"

Liu Yihua smiled and said, "Haha, General Zhou Xiuying is Hong Fu Qitian. But you still have to decide whether I am his noble person. Didn't I say that? I can't save General Zhou Xiuying from the place she is detained. You know, the place where she is detained is heavily guarded. No matter how powerful I am, I can't deal with more than 1,000 Qing soldiers alone! Needless to say, those Qing soldiers use muskets, even holding bows and arrows, I am definitely not an opponent, and I can only become a hedgehog, right?"

Liu Yihua said this, but the actual situation is that if Liu Yihua knew where Zhou Xiuying was locked up, then Liu Yihua could really touch it quietly alone. He may not dare to say that he had saved Zhou Xiuying, but Liu Yihua only had to give Zhou Xiuying a powerful weapon. If Zhou Xiuying was not injured, then the two of them really had hope to fight out together.

But in this way, Liu Yihua still has no confidence. Liu Yihua knows that he has the protection of the Yanhua system. There should be no danger in life. But what about Zhou Xiuying? This is not accurate. If Liu Yihua goes to rescue Zhou Xiuying alone, this will definitely increase Zhou Xiuying's danger. If Zhou Xiuying has three long and two shortcomings, she will fail in her first move back to the past. Let a female hero have three long and two shortcomings, Liu Yihua will feel guilty!

Therefore, in order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Liu Yihua must get a strong team. In this way, not only can he rescue Zhou Xiuying more confidently, but after rescuing Zhou Xiuying, Liu Yihua can hand over this team to Zhou Xiuying and continue to wander in time and space. Because Liu Yihua cannot always be in this historical period, Zhou Xiuying can only rely on the team he and Liu Yihua handed over to her to ensure her personal safety.

This is all Liu Yihua's interruption and plan. Liu Yihua wants the musket team to grow to more than a few thousand people, and then Zhou Xiuying is the captain and Liu Wufeng is the deputy captain. Liu Yihua gives them some fishing boats. In this way, Zhou Xiuying and Liu Wufeng can definitely ensure safety.

You should know that it is not to mention how advanced the ships in the 1997 era were. Although foreigners now have iron armored ships, compared with the ships in 1997, it is definitely a slight witch! Just in terms of speed, foreign iron armored ships are beyond the reach of the fishing boats in 1997! As for the ships of the Qing government, there is no need to mention them.

When Liu Wufeng saw Liu Yihua saying so politely, he smiled and said, "Yihua, you are right. It's really not possible to be alone. Even our musket team, according to the current number of people, is probably a tough one."

Liu Yihua nodded and said, "So, we need to hurry up and train now, and then recruit soldiers and horses. Another thing, brother, do you know where to buy a flintlock rifle? You are from the Firearm Manufacturing Bureau, so you are not wrong with finding you!"

Liu Wufeng said proudly: "Of course! Hey, I bought the flintlock rifles in Xiaodao Club. Otherwise, the Qing army's foreign gun team would not come here to catch me like this and then massacre innocent people! But where is Xiaodao Club's money? He just bought a little flintlock rifle, but not many people could use it, so the uprising failed in the end."

Liu Yihua said in surprise: "So that's the case? No wonder a village worth more than 100 Qing soldiers came over. By the way, how about the flintlock rifle we made in our country?"

Liu Wufeng shook his head and said, "It was okay before, but now it cuts corners everywhere. Another thing is that even if we make flintlock rifles ourselves better than foreign ones, we can't get it out. The Qing government's control over guns is now very strict. If someone dares to sell the weapons made in China to the rebels, this person will definitely implicate the nine clans! And he will be executed by Lingchi! So, I will contact Xiaodao to buy the flintlock rifles, which are also from the foreign devils! There are many weapons from the foreign devils coming to our country through different channels. As long as you have money, everything is easy to say!"

Liu Yihua nodded and said, "This is easy to deal with! Money is not a problem. I have 1,000 taels of gold here, so you can buy a flintlock rifle first!"

After Liu Yihua finished speaking, he took out 1,000 taels of gold from a corner. The Yanhua system last processed a total of 500 kilograms of gold at the Rand Gold Mine. This number sounds very large, but compared with the 80,000 tons reserve of the Rand Gold Mine, these 500 kilograms of gold are definitely a drop in the bucket!

"Ah? So much? Yihua, how could you put so much gold here? Well, this seems to be more than 1,000 taels, right? I have been in the management of the Firearms Manufacturing Bureau for a while, and I feel that the weight is different..." Although Liu Wufeng has never seen so much money, Liu Yihua shocked him too much, so he was still calm this time. Otherwise, if he acted too unbearable, he would really be sorry for Liu Yihua's trust. 1,000 taels of gold is definitely a huge sum! Liu Yihua trusts him so much, which really touched Liu Wufeng.

Liu Yihua was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, "Shan, I forgot that these 1,000 taels are calculated based on the weight of foreigners. What I said is that one car is 50 grams, and one car from the Qing Dynasty was more than 37 grams, right?"

Liu Wufeng was stunned and smiled bitterly, "I know. I also know that one or two taels of foreigners are different from one or two taels of us. In this way, it is more than 1,000 taels of gold from the Qing Dynasty. With this money, our weapons are definitely not a problem! But Yihua, you are too rich, right?"

Liu Yihua smiled bitterly and said, "Haha. I bought a piece of land abroad. There was a small gold mine inside? Otherwise, where would there be so much gold? By the way, I know that one tael of gold can be exchanged for more than ten taels of silver at this time, so how much can one tael of silver be exchanged for now? Is it more than 1,000 tons?"

Liu Wufeng smiled wryly and said, "Where is more than 1,000 citations? I don't know when this year. In this war in 1840, the silver price soared, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for up to more than 2,000 citations! Now the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Xiaodao will revolt, which is a bit messy, so I can't tell the exact amount of money that a tael of silver can be discussed. But it is definitely far higher than 1,000 citations!"

Liu Yihua said in a daze: "I'm going, so much money? How much does a pound of meat cost?"

Liu Wufeng said: "This depends on what kind of meat. The meat you usually eat costs tens of cents to hundreds of cents per pound."

Liu Yihua was stunned again: "Damn, it's so cheap? A piece of paper is about 20 cents, and a pound of meat can be handled with more than 1 yuan. Alas, this price..."

Liu Wufeng said in confusion: "Renminbi?"

Liu Yihua smiled and said, "Oh, foreign money. By the way, how much money do you need to buy a house now?"

Liu Wufeng thought for a while and said, "It depends on the place. It's almost the place. A bungalow sold for about 20 taels."

Liu Yihua was stunned: "A house is 20 taels? Then a house is about 15 square meters? What is the house price? 1 tael of silver is counted as 1,500 ounces. 20 taels of silver is equal to 30,000 ounces? Divided by 15 square meters, 2,000 ounces per square meter? A penny is calculated as 2 cents, and the house price per square meter in the Qing Dynasty was equal to 400 ounces?"

Liu Wufeng was confused when he saw Liu Yihua settle the score. He couldn't figure out what the RMB was.

Liu Yihua continued: "I calculated that the housing prices and grain prices in our place are more than 600 times that of now? In other words, if we want to buy the same house, we have to exchange for more than 600 times more grain than here!"

"Ah? The housing prices in your place are so high?" Liu Wufeng still couldn't understand, but this is more than 600 times a bit scary.

Liu Yihua nodded with a wry smile, and then said, "By the way, brother, the salary of the magistrate... Oh, what is the salary?"

Liu Wufeng said: "Oh, if the regulations are strictly followed, a seventh-rank magistrate's salary of 45 taels plus 45 hu of rice will be about 56 taels of silver."

Liu Yihua cleared up and said, "Damn it, no wonder the county must embezzle, it's only 56 taels a year?"

Liu Wufeng nodded and said, "Yes, if it is just a regular salary, the magistrate will starve to death! You know, even if you buy a mule, it will cost 20 taels, and a servant will cost 56 taels a month! You said, if you don't embezzle, how could they have a lot of wives and concubines and a lot of servants?"

Liu Yihua shook his head and said, "It seems that there is still some reason to support the integrity with high salaries. The Qing Dynasty officials were forced to be corrupt! No wonder others said that the Qing magistrate was 100,000 yuan in snowflakes! Three years of 100,000 yuan in silver is a big gap compared to the official salary of less than 200 taels of silver in three years!"

After Liu Yihua spoke after giving a sigh, he said, "I'm speechless. Even the poorest county magistrate can buy three houses with a salary of one year. The low-income people in our place can only buy a place as big as a bed in your income, right? A servant here in the Qing Dynasty could buy three houses in a year? If the migrant workers here may not be able to afford three houses in decades! This gap is too big. I suddenly feel that living in the Qing Dynasty is very happy!"

Liu Wufeng was fooled by Liu Yihua, but just grinned, not sure what Liu Yihua was expressing.

After Liu Yihua spoke up, he said, "I won't talk about this anymore. Brother, you might as well contact us to buy a flintlock spear as soon as possible. Our team must grow."

Liu Wufeng nodded, then pointed to the cave and said, "Yihua, but here is safe..."
