After Qiu Yan finished speaking, she led the two to the courtyard, brought out a solid wooden box, and took out a bronze-colored, most distinctive weapon from it.
"This was specially made by A-Xu for Gu Qian. You two should pass it on to him on A-Xu's behalf."
The rest, you can take to the military camp and give to your soldiers; they will surely be of great use.
Seeing that the two were still hesitating, Qiu Yan continued:
"You have just witnessed the power of muskets. Even if someone wants to deal with me, do you think they will succeed?"
They both shook their heads simultaneously, "No."
"No, then hurry up and leave."
The two men squatted down, looked at the muskets, and counted them; there were about thirty or so.
Qiu Yan and her brother are truly benefactors to their general.
No, it should be said that he was a benefactor of Dongjin.
If He Lin knew that Qiu Yan and her brother had such abilities, he would probably rush over overnight to meet them.
Because of Qiu Yan's persistence, Ling Qi and Ling Ba finally left.
Just as Qiu Yan calmed down, the village chief came to her house.
The purpose is obvious.
"Village chief, you've arrived."
"Hmm." The village chief smiled faintly at Qiu Yan. He knew that Qiu Dafu was repairing the city wall in Huaiyuan, which was also doing something for the country.
He has important matters to attend to and is about to get married, so he certainly won't join the army.
Qiu Xu, needless to say, is too young, even setting aside his studies.
Then there are Qiu Dayu and Qiu Dazhi.
It's unlikely that Qiu Dayu would go.
Qiu Dazhi was a weak scholar, unable to carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands. Asking him to go to the battlefield would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
Sigh, it's really difficult for him to gather fifty people to join the army. In their small village, with only about a hundred households, that means one person from every two households has to join the army.
The village chief's worries were written all over his face.
Although he had anticipated the outcome, he still asked:
"Xiaoyan, how have you two decided about joining the army?"
"We'll pay," Qiu Yan said, pausing slightly. "Please wait a moment."
She got up and went into her room, then went out and handed over five taels of silver, considering it her contribution to the country.
After leaving Qiu Yan's house, the village chief went from house to house to continue registering residents.
When we arrived at Qiu Dayong's house, Qiu Dayong and his wife had beaming smiles on their faces.
Qian said, "Brother Village Chief, we are family with Xiaoyan. Didn't she already pay the money?"
Qiu Dayong's lips trembled: "Yes, we and Xiaoyan are family. Village chief, this is wrong of you. What, you want to charge our Qiu family double the money?"
"Think again, are you a family?" The village chief had never seen anyone as forgetful as Qiu Dayong and his wife.
"Why not?"
After a series of tantrums and unreasonable demands, Qian finally had no choice but to think of Qiu Dayu.
She directly pushed Qiu Dayu forward.
“Let Qiu Dayu go. Right now, my husband has to support our family of four. Qiu Dayu is only eating his fill and the rest of the family isn’t hungry. It’s more appropriate for him to go.”
Qiu Dayong: "Yes, yes, and Qiu Dazhi too. Either of the two brothers can go. Just don't keep an eye on me."
The village chief's face darkened. "Qian Shi, Qiu Dayu, and Qiu Dazhi are now part of the Qiu family with Qiu Dafu, while your third branch has long been separated from the Qiu family."
These were all the wishes of the three brothers.
After Yang passed away, they separated from Qiu Dayong.
"Qiu Dayong, tell me, should we pay the fee or register?"
Qiu Dayong: "My family has no money, and I'm currently riddled with illnesses. I'm afraid I'll die on the way to the army camp. Village Chief, please have mercy on us. Xiaoyan and I share the same surname, Qiu. We're family."
