We'll buy up longswords and other weapons in batches and stockpile them, so that if that day really comes, we can distribute them."
Shui Qing had no objections. The villagers already struggled to buy iron pots and kitchen knives, let alone weapons.
At that time, they will probably only be able to resist with hoes and shovels. Hoes and shovels can be considered weapons, but they are far less powerful than long knives and spears.
They will provide weapons, which will make it easier to organize manpower.
"The village has 34 households, not including us, with about 400 people. Among them, there are about 100 men in their prime. Isn't that a bit too few?"
Shui Qing disagreed: "Some women are no less capable than men, and some are even stronger than men, and they can be used effectively."
There are also some energetic teenagers with good eyesight and quick wit, who would be excellent for patrolling and could relieve people without disrupting the busy farming season, such as planting and harvesting.
Others may not know, but she does: this war will last for four years!
For four years, they need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves, so the fields cannot be left uncultivated.
"Also, if you order a hundred long swords from a blacksmith at once, won't the blacksmith report it to the authorities?"
Are weapons regulated these days?
Fan Jin remained silent.
I will definitely tell you.
Shui Qing then brought up the shopping mall again. It has to be said that the all-powerful shopping mall sells everything imaginable!
When I search for "knife," all the results are kitchen knives and fruit knives.
This won't do; it's too short and doesn't provide enough protection.
Shui Qing searched for the broadsword again.
This time, all sorts of things came out.
Shuiqing picked out a few items and bought them, placing them on the long table in the room.
Fan Jin was stunned when he saw the beautifully designed broadsword.
"They're all unsharpened; you'll have to sharpen them yourself. How about that? Is that alright?"
Fan Jin nodded abruptly.
That's not enough, what kind will do?
He quickly asked, "Shuiqing, how much does one cost? It must be very expensive."
It was completely black, and looked so sharp it could cut a hair in two; even in the capital city, it would be considered a treasure.
"Oh, that one is one hundred and twenty, and this one is over eighty," Shui Qing replied casually.
Fan Jin is once again shocked by the prices in the mall...
"I'll pick out a few good ones and get one for everyone in our family. Oh, and it would be best if everyone in Aunt Zhang's family got one too!"
"Yes, Jinniu and the others have all grown up. Aunt Zhang and Xiaocao are also very strong. They are close to us and good to us. Each of them has a weapon, so we are safer."
"It's impossible for every household in the village to have enough. Let's prepare a total of 150. If things get chaotic outside, let the old village chief distribute them."
Fan Jin had no objection. Since his own family was secure, it was fine for the old village chief to allocate the other families, as he could trust them.
"We can't stop brewing wine; we need money, the more the better!"
Once war breaks out, rice wine will definitely not sell, and even the calligraphy brush business will collapse.
