Fifteen taels of gold may not sound too much, but in this era, Chinese silver was much cheaper than Europa. Fifteen taels of gold can basically be exchanged for about one hundred and fifty taels of silver. The cost of Hong Yun's batch of clothes, plus the salary of workers, was only ten taels.

It’s not that Hong Yun is too unintentional, but that the ordinary people in China in this era have only a small salary. Hong Yun still paid several times the salary of the market. Now these women are almost paying Hong Yun as a god.

According to modern algorithms, a profit of more than ten times is 1,500% profit. If it is put into future generations, it will be enough to make countless capitalists go crazy and even destroy the whole world.

Of course, after the diesel is refined and the factory starts to officially start production, with large-scale production, the price will definitely drop, but at the same time, the cost will also drop accordingly.

Hong Yun estimated that with the purchasing power of the foreigners in this era, the profits that would not drop ten times in a short period of time would definitely be a business that could make people crazy.

With this stable business path, after being put into operation at full capacity, Hong Yun can bring nearly 10,000 taels of silver in net profit every month.

If Tori and others could develop several more generators for Hong Yun, the number would have increased several times or even dozens of times. By then, even if Hong Yun expanded his troops to tens of thousands of people, he would be able to maintain it easily.

As for now, with the treasure of the Kingdom of Heaven and this stable source of income, we can at least maintain the thousand Black Flag Army in our hands without worrying about logistics for ten years.

After everything in Hongxiguan Village was running normally, Hong Yun was finally relieved. At this moment, he no longer had to be so busy. When he was free, he could consider taking out the treasure map of the five little guys from Shaolin Temple, Wei Zhongxian, and find a way to take it out.

"Official Xi, gather the people from the personal military camp. I am going to take them to Fengyang to take out the treasures of Wei Zhongxian. It can be regarded as taking them from the people and using them for the people."

It is better to keep the treasures for the Qing court to find them for free for the nobles of the Qing court to eat, drink and have fun. It is better to take them out, so that the people around Hongxiguan Village can get some benefits.

If that batch of treasures were really as many as the legendary, his plan would be much easier to implement.

"Okay, but, the Grand Marshal, there are too few people who practice the Nine Yang God's function. Apart from those in the personal barracks and the Iron Blood Youth League, only Wen Ding and others can practice it. I think this technique is better not to be passed on, so as not to fall into the hands of the Qing court."

Since its establishment, the Black Flag Army has set up a route for elite and strong soldiers, and has no intention of relying on the number of people to win, so Hong Yun naturally had to do his best to improve the strength of this team.

The Nine Yang Divine Art is one of the few techniques he can use to take action. Unfortunately, perhaps it is because of the thin spiritual energy in this world, or perhaps it is because of some other reasons, and very few people can practice it.

In addition to the twenty carefully selected soldiers of the personal barracks, only Hong Xiguan and his son, Shaolin No. 5 Primary School and more than a dozen members of the Iron Blood Youth League can practice, and the cultivation progress is very slow. So far, most of them are still at the first level. Those who can practice to the second level of Yijin and Marrow Cleansing Realm are only Hong Xiguan and his son.

"Okay, you can do these things. After I leave, you must be cautious in your actions. Before the Tori developed the generator, our Black Flag Army's combat effectiveness was not much stronger than that of the Qing court. If you fight head-on, even if you can win, you will suffer a lot of losses."

At present, the weapons of the Black Flag Army are all flintlock rifles brought from foreigners. Although they have been transformed by the arsenal and have been improved, they are not obvious.

Even with modern tactics, this Black Flag Army faces the army of its contemporaries, and one strikes ten in front can ensure an extremely low combat loss rate.

However, in the Qing court, the prefectures in Guangzhou alone could mobilize 30,000 to 40,000 troops. Once they were fully mobilized, they also had muskets and cannons. In this era, the Qing court had not completely banned these things. Many firearms left by the previous dynasty were actually not backward in their contemporaries.

Therefore, when the full development is carried out at this time, the Black Flag Army will eliminate at most tens of thousands of Qing court troops, and will gradually disappear due to lack of succession and incomplete preparations in all aspects.

"Don't worry, Grandmaster, Xi Guan knows what to do."

Hong Xiguan's steadfastness made Hong Yun very relieved. After the soldiers from the personal military camp gathered, Hong Yun didn't talk much nonsense to give a speech, and directly took the people and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a black flag army suddenly came over. As soon as they entered the barracks, they rushed up excitedly after seeing Hong Yun: "Master, Madam, I have something urgent to come to you!"

"lady?"

Hong Yun was slightly stunned when he heard the words of the Black Flag soldier, but he instantly realized: "Is it Hongdou who asked you to come? Was something wrong in the county town?"

After thinking about it, Hongdou is probably the only one who can be called a wife by the Black Flag soldier.

Although the two have not confirmed their relationship yet, the people under their hands have spread all over the place. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Hongdou will become Hongjun's woman sooner or later, so some people privately began to call Hongdou the wife, and gradually, this title spread.

"Yes, something happened in the county town."

The person who came said that Hong Yun felt a little sad. Could it be that his plan was forced to be carried out at this time?

He was not fully prepared, and even the perfect team he could have had to set up, was he going to face off against the Qing court in a head-on manner?

In total, it has not been half a year since I came to Hongxiguan Village for only about three months and I have to truly face the power of a country. This made Hong Yun frown and consider how to deal with it.

"Did the Ma Shanren be discovered by the people from the prefecture? How many soldiers and horses have come?"

Not only Hong Yun, but Hong Xiguan also thought of this and immediately asked nervously.

"General Hong, it was not discovered by the people from the prefecture, but the magistrate of Lei County... Oh, no, it should be Mr. Ma's family, not right..."

The messenger became more and more panicked as he spoke, and the more he said, the more he couldn't explain it clearly.

At the end, Hong Yun simply waved his hand: "Forget it, no matter what, we have to pass by the county town when we go north, so we just go there to take a look."

No matter what happened, I happened to go to the county town to take a look.

Since it was not discovered by the prefecture and the Qing army had not arrived, it was not a difficult problem.

He led his twenty personal soldiers, led by the commander, and fought all the way to the county town.

When I arrived at the county town, I found that Ma Shanren had taken care of the county town in the past two months. At least the journey was much more lively and prosperous than when they arrived at the county town last time.

In fact, the location of Hua County is actually very good. If Lei Laohu hadn't been too harsh and constantly plundering people's wealth, making it difficult for many people to survive, the county town should have been prosperous long ago and could even become a second only to the prefecture.

Along the way, Hong Yun was also learning about the situation in the past two months from the messenger. Although Shanren Ma didn't know how to be an official, as long as he didn't plunder the people's wealth, even if he didn't do anything, he was much better than before.

After controlling the people in the county government office, they made an excuse to some of the evil officials who were killed by them and put down official documents, which basically did not cause much fluctuation.

Most of those people were full of evil deeds, and it was very easy to find evidence.

No one of the families of those people dared to cause trouble. In this era, officials and officials were actually completely different in nature. Small officials were hired by local governments. To put it bluntly, they were temporary workers and could not catch the eyes of the court, unless they were really wronged and someone in the court helped to speak.

Otherwise, even if Ma Shanren eliminated all the subordinate personnel of the entire Hua County, except for the county magistrate, chief clerk, clerk, and other officials, all of them had all been eliminated. As long as they did not cause local chaos, they would not attract the attention of the court.

Even the state capital will not even ask more questions. Anyway, you can just clear it up and recruit a group of people to do things at that time. Mu Shou will not cause trouble. The taxes that should be paid will be paid on time. Who will care about the life or death of some ants-like officials?

As for the county magistrate and others, after Ma Shanren pioneered the way for money and gave up some of the interests that originally belonged to Lei Laohu, the group of people naturally turned a blind eye.

Anyway, there is no need to pay for the newly replaced yamen runners in the county government office. Ma Shanren said that he paid for it and supported it. These people had dozens of people in vain. They were too happy, so no one cared about how Ma Shanren was pretending.

In their concept, the overall situation of the Qing court has been determined, who can make waves?

No matter how hard Ma Shanren is, it may be for power and money. He will not rebel just by the dozens of people in his hands?

He could make more money and was shocked by Ma Shanren's method of removing dissidents from iron serum. For a time, the county government almost became Ma Shanren's one-man show. No one dared to go against him, and they all did things honestly.

"Hongdou, what happened so much that you made people hurry to deliver me a letter?"

When he arrived at the backyard of the county government office and saw Hongdou, Hong Yun couldn't help but ask.

"It's Mrs. Ma, no, it's Mrs. Lei coming, and she also brought a daughter. It is said that some adopted person will be almost in the county town."

"Ma Shanren is worried that they will be seen through, so he asked me to send you a letter."

After seeing Hong Yun, Hongdou immediately told him anxiously about what happened in the county town, which made Hong Yun a little confused.

"Wait a minute, take your time, let's go into the house and make it clear a little bit."

Following Hongdou into the living room, Ma Shanren, Zhu Xiaoqian and others were also anxiously waiting for Hong Yun to arrive here.

After a few greetings, everyone sat down with the guest and the host. After explaining it clearly, Hong Yun also frowned a little.

"Is there such a thing? It seems that Mrs. Lei has a very small background."

After hearing what everyone said, Hong Yun frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.
