Nomadic Peoples Can Now Sing and Dance

Lin Ze looked at his soaring Luck and took stock of what he had been doing recently.

He quickly determined that his soaring Luck probably came from the batch of automatic rifles he had sold.

And in fact, that was the case.

After Lin Ze opened the Gates to Heavens and sent the Guns and bullets to Outside North Sea Pass, where Prefect Lu Ji took over, the Prefect immediately took action.

Under the supervision of the secret White Robe Guard organization, he first tried to master the use of automatic rifles himself, then began to summon military generals to learn how to master Firearms, and then these generals led their soldiers to learn how to master Firearms.

As this snowballed, a Firearms Army of ten thousand men was initially formed in a day. Then, this army was directly pulled out to fight against the Foreign Race looting the border.

Now it is autumn and winter, and the weather is cold. Near North Sea Pass, there is a Foreign Race cavalry army of 50,000 called 'Running Wolf' looting.

The purpose of this newly formed Firearms Army is to drive this cavalry army back to the barren and bitterly cold land outside the territory, or to annihilate them completely and recover the lost property.

In the Main World, such an army would not even be considered a rabble.

Even in the Golden Continent, they would be considered weak, but in this Other World where automatic rifles have never appeared, these Foreign Race understood for the first time what the power of industry is.

Next, Lin Ze planned to replicate that process.

As the battle began, even the many soldiers who caused it all were a little incredulous at the scene before them.

Ji Kan said excitedly, "If Zi Yi really has a way, then I will definitely ask my imperial brother to reward you. It may not be impossible to be granted a title and become a Prime Minister..."

"Please, Your Highnesses, find a way to provide me with all the information about the surrounding Foreign Race. I can solve the problem according to local conditions. When I come up with a specific plan, all the problems will no longer be problems."

"Sending experts to slaughter the Foreign Race will consume Gang Qi, thereby accelerating the loss of their own vitality, which is not conducive to prolonging life. Using Firearms to pacify the Foreign Race can reduce the Gang Qi consumption of peerless experts, allowing them to live longer and protect our Great Zhou for a longer time."

But that was in vain. As soon as they turned around, they had already stepped into the footsteps of their companions.

Sparse gunshots rang out, and dense bullets poured out like rain hitting plantain leaves, forming a barrage.

The many cavalrymen who rushed the fastest were seen splattered with blood, and they fell off their horses and died without even groaning.

On the battlefield, the many Running Wolf tribe cavalrymen had not yet had time to laugh at the Great Zhou army for not even knowing how to form a formation.

Lin Ze asked a heart-wrenching question with a smile.

Right now, it costs 700,000 taels of silver for bullets just to wipe out one Foreign Race. If all the Foreign Race around the Great Zhou Dynasty were wiped out, it would probably cost tens of millions.

If an eight-win situation can be achieved, then even if Emperor Ji Yuan knows that his younger brother Ji Kan is taking the opportunity to make money, he will not care.

But the current situation is different. The Running Wolf army has been raging on the border for a long time, robbing a lot of property and food from the Great Zhou people on the border, but the warriors from the Great Zhou who are like gods descending to earth have never come to attack them.

Then he suddenly realized that Lin Ze didn't care about titles and other empty things, but needed real benefits.

"In general, it is still profitable to use Firearms. After all, bullets can be bought with money, but lifespan cannot be bought."

Those cavalrymen who rushed slowly saw this terrifying scene, and even forgot to draw their bows and shoot arrows, and turned around to escape.

Aside, Ji Qingyan helped her brother out, "Zi Yi, this expense cannot be saved. Spending money to buy Firearms to pacify the Foreign Race is one method, and spending a lot of money every year to cultivate experts to sit in the border is also a method."

But whether this money can make up for the cost of the bullets is really an unknown thing.

Ji Kan certainly knew these methods, but although the methods were good, they were no different from wishful thinking.

The small Zhou army did not appear flustered. Facing the charging cavalry, the formation loosely spread out, and they began firing their guns from a distance of seven hundred meters.

Hearing this, Lin Ze nodded in satisfaction.

For new recruits who had just touched a gun, an average of two hundred bullets to kill one person was already an impressive statistic.

Although after wiping out the Foreign Races, they could plunder some warhorses and the Foreign Races' cattle and sheep, which could be considered breaking even.

Under such circumstances, ten thousand Firearms Army soldiers encountered seventy thousand cavalry.

"Good."

What's more, besides the military expenditure for battles, soldiers also had to be paid, which was also a huge expense.

Lin Ze nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. It's still a loss."

He relied on his extraordinary physique to avoid being killed by a single shot, but in the next moment, he was directly riddled with holes by the barrage of bullets.

On the grasslands outside North Sea Pass, the newly formed Firearms Army encountered the Foreign Race's Running Wolf Army.

However, this method of obtaining Luck is not good. Directly destroying an individual or group is like cutting leeks and uprooting them completely.

If all ten cubic meters were used to store steel, he could directly bury himself, completely isolating all attacks from all directions, and then he could calmly open the Gates to Heavens and run away.

Even if he encountered someone leading hundreds or thousands of people using Firearms, plus many experts ambushing him, he would not be afraid.

Profiting from this is one aspect, and it also drives the change of more people's destinies, plundering Luck is another benefit.

Afraid that Yin Zhe wouldn't believe he could make that decision, Ji Kan continued, "At that time, I will ask my imperial brother to change the current East Sea fiefdom into a border fiefdom, and then tell my imperial brother that I will solve the border troubles, only needing an expenditure of one and seventy million taels of silver each year."

Lin Ze's Luck can strengthen the Personal Space four times. Adding the previous two times, it can increase the Personal Space to ten cubic meters in one fell swoop.

It's no wonder Yin Zhe's Luck increased by tens of thousands at once.

Anyway, whether it's true or false, you'll know when you look back.

But from a cost perspective, one million bullets are worth seventy thousand taels of silver.

Thinking on the bright side, if Lin Ze filled the ten cubic meter Personal Space with Tungsten Water near its boiling point, and then suddenly splashed it onto all the surrounding space without warning.

The enemies on the opposite side were too densely packed. At this time, there was not even a need to aim. As long as they fired, they would definitely hit.

Fengping County, Lin Residence.

Apart from a small portion that had naturally accumulated over time due to the influence of his industries, the other parts had recently exploded.

Next, the two said goodbye and went back to prepare the information Lin Ze needed.

With this confidence, seventy thousand cavalry directly charged towards the small Zhou army.

And obtaining a larger Personal Space is the fastest way for Lin Ze to strengthen his self-protection ability.

When the gunfire stopped, apart from a few Running Wolf tribe members who wisely jumped on their horses and fled, everyone else had already died. On the empty grassland, many frightened warhorses were either galloping wildly or lying prostrate on the ground.

Hearing this, Ji Kan, who was boasting about the Great Zhou soldiers' achievements, paused, and said seriously, "Zi Yi, defending our territory cannot be calculated in terms of cost. Protecting the Great Zhou's people so they can live and thrive is the very meaning of the nation's existence."

After seeing off the Ji Kan siblings, Lin Ze put away the seventy-seven thousand taels of gold that the two had just brought.

Lin Ze's Luck balance had now reached 100,000 points.

Even if they were really desperate and had to plunder the Great Zhou's border residents, they would run away immediately after robbing, afraid of being caught and losing their lives.

As for how to use this Luck, Lin Ze, of course, chose to strengthen his Personal Space without hesitation.

Besides showing off the Great Zhou soldiers' martial prowess, he also brought gold and silver to place an order, urging Lin Ze to quickly transport the second batch of Firearms and bullets over.

"Your Highness, a million bullets were used up in one battle. Can the spoils of war cover the cost?"

"In this way, we can not only eliminate the border threat, but also obtain a large number of usable labor and combat power, achieving multiple goals at once."

Hearing this, Ji Qingyan and Ji Kan exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Seventy thousand cavalry formed a moving tide. This type of soldier, standing at the pinnacle of the Cold Weapon era, faced the power of industry, and at this moment, they fell like wheat being harvested, without the slightest resistance.

With such a two-pronged approach, the threat of nomadic peoples would naturally disappear.

And this was just the beginning. As the first batch of cavalry died violently, with severed limbs, shattered heads, and all kinds of hellish scenes appearing simultaneously.

After putting away the money, Lin Ze began to process his newly increased Luck.

How did the threat of nomadic peoples in the Main World disappear?

Ji Kan agreed.

His proud copper tendons and iron bones could not save his life either.

Then he exchanged a look with his sister beside him, and they both saw the suspicion in each other's eyes.

Lin Ze, of course, understood the principle, but this was just Lin Ze's introduction to the topic. At this time, he stopped arguing and said with a smile, "I might have a way to completely solve the border problems. Not only can I save a large amount of military expenditure every year, but I can also earn a lot of extra money."

"But these problems are not problems here with me, I have ways to solve them."

"But without exception, they all cost money."

The first is the large-scale popularization of Firearms, which directly eliminates the cavalry mobility on which nomadic peoples rely, turning us from an extremely terrifying border threat into people who can sing and dance.

"In this way, Zi Yi, you have solved the problem, the imperial brother can also reduce the military expenditure invested in the border, and we can also get some money to buy Spiritual Medicine to subsidize our cultivation. It's a win-win-win situation."

"The reason why these Foreign Races on the border plunder every year is because they are not fed and clothed. If we want them not to plunder, we must allow them to be self-sufficient and have enough to eat."

"Consume 80,000 Luck to strengthen the four-cubic-meter Personal Space."

We looked at the Firearms in our hands, never expecting that the Firearms that we had discarded in the past would have such terrifying power.

So he stopped drawing cakes and said directly, "Currently, the Great Zhou Dynasty's annual military expenditure on the border is eleven million taels. If Zi Yi's method is effective, I can decide to give him half of the saved military expenditure as a reward."

The higher-ups of the Running Wolf tribe couldn't understand the reason, but it didn't prevent us from becoming confident. Not only did we not run away after robbing, but we even dared to take the initiative to attack when we saw the Great Zhou army.

This also made Lin Ze more certain of his guess. In recent days, my Luck has skyrocketed, all caused by the Firearms sold.

Bang bang bang...

Because of the automatic rifles Lin Ze sold, the Little Zhou Dynasty's border citizens and soldiers were spared from being killed by the Foreign Races, their fate steadily improving. Those Foreign Races, who originally had a chance to live, were all killed by the Firearms.

Yin Zhe spoke his solution.

In the blink of an eye, the center army of seventy thousand cavalry was exposed.

Ten cubic meters of Personal Space, that's a lot of room to maneuver.

This isn't war, it's simply burning money.

Lost in thought, Lin Ze issued the order to strengthen the Gates to Heavens.

However, given the powerful might displayed by the Firearms, both of them acknowledged that the Truth Sect's exploration of the Truth of the world was correct. Therefore, they didn't completely disbelieve whether Lin Ze could accomplish this.

Even the border armies that tried to stop their looting had been defeated several times by the Running Wolf tribe.

Perhaps even peerless experts would be unable to escape, and would be drowned by the Tungsten Water. He wanted to try if his protective Gang Qi could withstand Tungsten Water at three thousand degrees.

Cavalry against infantry, wasn't that a massacre?

Leaving civilization to exist, with Luck increasing and decreasing, Lin Ze could continuously harvest benefits.

Just consider it taking care of a brother, and there are benefits for myself as well.

After Ji Kan opened his mouth to refute, Lin Ze continued, "I know there are several difficulties in doing so. First, the country has insufficient food. Our own citizens occasionally go hungry, let alone using it to support Foreign Race people. The second point is that the extraterritorial production is barren and has no utilization value."

The seventh is to strengthen the development and economic control of grassland resources, so that herdsmen can survive but cannot leave the Central Plains.

Ji Kan, holding the battle report from Outside North Sea Pass, excitedly described to Lin Ze the battle results formed by the automatic rifles.

After all, according to the principle of the Gates to Heavens collecting Luck, whenever an individual or group's Luck fluctuates because of him, whether it rises or falls, he can plunder a portion of the Luck for his own use.

Before he could finish drawing the habitual big picture, Ji Kan saw Lin Ze's indifferent gaze, and then remembered the incident a few days ago when he and his sister almost fought with Lin Ze because of drawing the big picture.

The gunfire continued to ring out. As the commander of this army, the Sky Wolf King, whose innate divine power and copper bones were not inferior to many first-rate experts in the Central Plains, had barely digested the incredible scene before him when he was already drowned by the dense barrage.

With the contact with the royal family and the sale of Firearms, the storm that Lin Ze caused in this world was getting bigger and bigger, and he needed more powerful means of self-protection.
