Chapter 221 How about you follow me 24 hours a day
"You came back early today." Miao Jiu and Si Tian walked in together.
"You came back early today." Si Ming was also surprised that they came back early today.
"I was just thinking of coming back to talk to you about something. I thought I would have to wait for you, but I didn't expect you to come back first." Miao Jiu walked over to Si Ning and sat down, putting his arm around her waist.
"What's the matter?" Siming looked at him strangely.
"My people went outside to search last night and found many people who were bitten to death by wild beasts." Miao Jiu said casually.
"The person who was bitten to death?" Si Tian sat next to Siming.
"Yeah." Miao Jiu took out a few small notebooks from his clothes bag and handed them to Si Ming.
Siming reached out to take the household registration certificate in the small notebook and looked at it, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"Brother, who is it?" Si Tian also realized that it was a household registration certificate.
"Take a look for yourself." Siming handed him the household registration certificate.
Si Tian took it and looked at it: "Is he from Da Zheng?"
"It seems that these are the people who wanted to capture Wen Ce, but how could he die in the wild?" Siming was a little puzzled. This person should have a gun on him.
Miao Jiu leaned casually on the sofa: "I don't know about that. My subordinates have checked, and apart from the bites from wild animals, these people have no other wounds."
"The most interesting thing is that they all had all their guns and ammunition."
"No less?" This time, not only Siming, but everyone else was so surprised that they were speechless.
Miao Jiu nodded: "Yeah."
"It's better to be dead, so I don't have to worry about him." Si Ning leaned on Miao Jiu's arm.
"Indeed." Old Madam Si also agreed.
Siming didn't say anything, but his brows furrowed even tighter. "Do you think the riot in Jingzhou this time was their doing?"
"It's hard to say right now. The riots in Jingzhou haven't subsided yet, and more and more people are coming outside the city. Keeping them gathering outside the city isn't a solution."
Miao Jiu came back early today because of this matter, wanting to see if there was any solution.
"It's better to recruit soldiers." Si Tian looked at the few people and said a few words.
"Recruiting soldiers?" Siming turned and looked at him.
Si Tian nodded and said, "Brother, the current strength of Beiyang City is still a little small, why not take advantage of this time to recruit soldiers."
"Soldiers can't be used as soon as they arrive at the barracks. They also need long-term training."
"I think A Tian's idea is good. It's time to expand the army of Beiyang City." Miao Jiu said casually.
"Recruiting soldiers is easy, but we don't have that much equipment at the moment." Siming had thought about recruiting soldiers, but maintaining an army was not something that could be solved with just one or two big yellow croakers.
"We will have our own arsenal in the future, and purchasing guns is not a difficult thing at the moment." Si Tian believes that these difficulties will be solved.
"Okay, I will send people to recruit soldiers tomorrow." Siming is not a person who drags his feet, and his greatest reliance is not on others, but on the people around him.
Whether it was Miao Jiu or the servants of the Si family, they all trusted him wholeheartedly.
"By the way, let me tell you some news." Si Tian looked at them.
"What news?" Si Ning looked at him.
"Liu Ruyan died on the road. She was found naked, and the stolen money was nowhere to be found. Also, Liu Jingcheng is no longer able to work as a porter, so now his family is begging on the roadside."
Si Tian was stunned when he heard it today. He had forgotten about this family, but he heard someone talk about it when he went to the teahouse today.
Everyone in the living room fell silent, not knowing how to evaluate this family.
"Dad, Dad, Juanjuan has finished painting." Juanjuan's voice broke the silence in the living room.
"Let me see." Si Ming stretched out his hand and let her run into his arms, and then he held the two children in his arms.
Juanjuan took the paper in her hand and handed it to him: "Look."
Siming looked at the abstract painting on the paper and really had no idea what it was about.
"Let me see what's drawn on it!" Si Tian on the side also came over to look at the painting on the paper.
"Second uncle, this was drawn by Juanjuan!" Juanjuan came out of Siming's arms with a smile and snuggled in Sitian's arms.
Si Tian was very satisfied with her behavior. He picked her up and sat her on his lap, looking at the paper in her hand.
There were several styles of clothing drawn on it. He looked at the fabrics on the table and thought that these were the fabrics he wanted to use.
"What kind of clothes is this? It looks a bit strange."
"It's for my brothers to play hide-and-seek!" Juanjuan said seriously, pointing at the paper with the picture on it.
"Do we need these clothes to play hide-and-seek?" Si Tian looked at the clothes and saw that they had quite a few pockets.
"Yes! This way others won't be able to find them, and Juanjuan will have candy to eat." Juanjuan looked at him with a smile.
Si Tian looked at Siming with a puzzled look: "Is there still candy to eat?"
"It's a long story, let's talk about it later." Siming pointed to the pocket on his trouser leg and said, "Why is this pocket tilted?"
"My brother said that it will be easier to take things when we hide like this!" Juanjuan looked at Si Jinchen and explained.
Siming immediately understood that this design made it easier to get things when lying down: "That's amazing."
He listened to the two children explain the drawing on the paper and found that the design of the clothes was really good and very suitable for military use.
"Atian, take these cloths to the tailor to make them tomorrow." Siming pointed to the cloth on the table.
"Brother, let's make it according to your size first. I'll ask them to make it a little wider." Si Tian knew that this piece of clothing should be used for training.
"Well, you make one first, and I'll try it out to see if there's anything that needs to be changed." Si Ming thought for a moment and said.
"Okay. I've already contacted a foreign businessman today to purchase equipment for the hydroelectric power station. It should arrive in Beiyang City in a week at the earliest."
"When Mr. Wen gets better, I will go to the hospital to ask if there is anything else needed and get everything together as soon as possible." Si Tian repeated the plan here.
"By the way, Jingqiu came today, and many foreign businessmen asked her about our lip balm. We made some vanishing cream today, and after trying it, we all thought it was quite effective."
Si Ning said, looking at Bai Qiao standing beside him: "Also, Bai Qiao suggested that we could add Chinese herbal formulas to cosmetics to achieve some skin beautifying effects."
"So I want to open a cosmetics workshop."
Miao Jiu became anxious when he heard this: "You can't go now."
"You arranged a lot of people for me as soon as I went out. Besides, with Juanjuan and Baiqiao here with me, what can happen to me?" Si Ning rolled his eyes at him.
"I'm worried." Miao Jiu looked at her aggrievedly.
"How about you follow me 24 hours a day?" Si Ning was speechless to him.
Miao Jiu really wanted to agree, but he didn't dare, after all, he had a lot of things on his hands.
