The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 15 [015] Building an Escort Agency, Meeting Feng Ziying
In Daming, the people did not prohibit the common people from carrying weapons.

But if you openly recruit soldiers and gather a large number of soldiers, you will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by the court.

So how should we solve this thorny problem?

After Jia Qiang frowned and pondered for a while, two words suddenly popped up in her mind - Escort!

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Qiang decided that the name of the Escort should be "Qiangwei Escort".

There must not be many people in a single escort agency, and if there are too many, it will also arouse suspicion.

But what if one hundred, one thousand, or even 1 escort bureaus are established?
Isn't there a million troops?
On the bright side, it's just one escort agency.

But in fact, it is just a small army.

They are usually scattered in various places, and when they really pull up the flag to rebel, they will join forces again.

Jia Qiang did as soon as she thought of it, and never hesitated or dragged her feet.

He took the mansion where he originally lived as the address of the first escort agency.

This mansion is located in the back street of Ningrong. It is a courtyard with five entrances, with one main gate and four small gates.

There are five closed and independent courtyards inside, and each courtyard is connected by a small gate. It belongs to the Shenzhai courtyard, with a total area of ​​more than 800 square meters.

Jia Qiang first recruited ten idlers who knew martial arts, and temporarily let them serve as guards in Yuanyang Hot Pot Restaurant.

After the Escort Bureau starts its business, select a few of them to serve as Escort Masters.

Of course, Jia Qiang will also recruit more people to serve as bodyguard heads, bodyguard masters, and troopers.

But the most important thing right now is to find someone with high martial arts skills to be the head of the bodyguard.

Last time the system rewarded him with Overlord Spear and Halberd, but it didn't directly give him the spear and halberd.

Jia Qiang rode to the best blacksmith shop in Shenjing City and asked the shop owner to make a gun and a halberd.

The shop owner smiled flatteringly: "Dare to ask my son, how heavy and long are the spears and halberds you want to shoot?"

Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said:

"The gun is one foot three feet seven inches long and weighs 81 catties."

Before he finished speaking, the store owner suddenly widened his eyes, took a breath, and heard Jia Qiang continue:

"The halberd is one foot and two feet long and weighs 120 nine catties."

After the words fell, the owner of the store opened his mouth wide, dumbfounded, and almost forgot to breathe.

The blacksmiths and customers around also looked at Jia Qiang in astonishment, as if they were looking at a monster.

Jia Qiang saw the shop owner in a daze, raised her eyebrows and asked:

"Boss, did you hear my request clearly?"

The store owner came back to his senses, swallowed, and said in a harsh voice:

"Understood, but the old man is a little puzzled, why did you make the spear and halberd so heavy?
It’s not because the old man made a fuss, but to be honest, the old man has been a blacksmith for more than 30 years, and he has never met a customer who has customized such a heavy weapon. "

Jia Qiang smiled and said:

"This is none of your business. You just need to forge it according to my requirements. As long as it is forged well, your money will not be lost."

The store owner nodded with a smile and said:
"What you said is true, the old man is talking too much, please rest assured, I will let my subordinates use the best steel to forge spears and halberds for you.

These two weapons cost a total of 21 taels of silver, sir, please pay a deposit of ten taels first, and then settle the balance when you pick it up a month later. "

"Row!"

Jia Qiang casually paid the other party ten taels of silver, turned around and walked out of the blacksmith shop.

"Young master, please stay!" A young man suddenly shouted from behind.

Jia Qiang looked back, but saw a heroic young man in rich clothes chasing him out of the blacksmith's shop.

"What do you want, Your Excellency?" Jia Qiang asked lightly.

The young man raised his resolute eyebrows, cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"This is Feng Ziying, the son of General Shenwu. Do you dare to ask your son Gao's name?"

Jia Qiang's eyes light up slightly. In the original book, this Feng Ziying is a bold, loyal, courageous and resourceful general.

Jia Qiang clasped her fists in return and said:
"Next is Jia Qiang from the Ningguo Mansion, who has long admired Mr. Feng's reputation. Seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation."

Feng Ziying smiled and said:
"So it's Brother Qiang from Jia's Mansion. I just heard you said that you want to make a spear, but I don't know why you want to make it so heavy? Could it be that you want to use it for martial arts?"

No wonder Feng Ziying was surprised and curious. Although Feng Ziying didn't have much contact with Jia's mansion, he had drank flower wine with Jia Baoyu before.

From Jia Baoyu's mouth, Feng Ziying learned that none of the descendants of the Jia family practiced martial arts.

Therefore, he wondered why Jia Qiang made such a heavy spear when he obviously didn't know martial arts?
Since it was the first time we met, Jia Qiang didn't want to talk too much, so she smiled lightly and said:

"Where do I know martial arts? It's just arty, I want to make spears and halberds, and put them at home as decorations, just as a facade."

Feng Ziying nodded suddenly and said:
"That's why, let me just say, in today's world, how can anyone use such heavy spears and halberds?

The Qinglong Yanyue Sword of Guan Yunchang, the fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, weighed only 82 catties.
The spear you want to build weighs 81 catties, and the halberd weighs 120 catties!
I am afraid that only a peerless warrior like Lu Bu Xiang Yu can use it. "

Jia Qiang smiled perfunctorily and said, "What Mr. Feng said is true."

Feng Ziying smiled and said:
"I always like to dance with spears and sticks. When your spear is finished, please send someone to inform me. I want to go to your mansion to see it.
Ashamed to say, I have never seen such a heavy weapon. "

Jia Qiang agreed, "Okay, then I will definitely invite you to my house as a guest."

While the two of them were talking happily, they didn't know that there was a pair of eyes hiding behind the curtain of a nearby teahouse, observing the scene with resentment.
