My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

He turned around and looked at Ah San, who was grinning. "What a joke! Do you know how many bullets you just fired? A belt of ammunition has 250 rounds. You just wasted more than 20 dollars. Do you know that?"

Ah San immediately explained, "Master, didn't you just hit him..."

"That's enough. You did something wrong and you're still trying to find excuses. Do you still have any sense of responsibility as a man?"

"Now I declare that in view of the mistake you just made, I have decided to confiscate your salary for this month. Do you have any objection?"

Ah San wanted to explain himself after hearing this, but he didn't say anything in the end. "Master is right. I did make a big mistake, so I accept the punishment."

"But I think I only fired over a hundred rounds just now. I need to fire another hundred rounds."

As he was about to get another bullet belt, Jiang Li knocked the bullet out of his hand, "That's enough, kid. You scared me. The remaining 100 rounds are my mental damage compensation."

Regardless of Asan's expression as if he had eaten a fly, Jiang Li pulled him away and asked several Taoist soldiers to come up and take turns to familiarize themselves with the operating procedures. He then asked them to fire a hundred rounds each to practice their skills.

Of course, Jiang Li would not let them hold the trigger like Ah San did, but would let them practice long and short bursts of shooting.

But he had already thought about it. If the time was right and the motorcycle came back, he would have someone ride the Maxim on the motorcycle and perform in front of Shi Jian. He thought that he would think over and over again before making a decision.

After the testers had basically mastered the use of the Maxim, Jiang Li took them back to the Jiang family. "You guys go on patrol first. The Maxim is too heavy and cumbersome to use. It's not suitable for infantry. When the motorcycle I purchased comes back in a while, it will be more suitable to install it on the car then."

Several people nodded immediately when they heard this. They had just discovered that this gun was good, but it was too big and heavy, and the recoil was too great. It was indeed not easy to carry, so they left one after another.

Ah San wanted to say something, but Jiang Li ignored him and handed him the box of bullets and several ammunition belts. "I know you have a clear understanding of your mistakes today, and now you are eager to do something to make up for it."

"Take this box of bullets and these ammunition belts back with you. Load them all when you have time and give them to me tomorrow."

"Go!"

Asan was stunned when he heard this. How could I realize my mistake so quickly? Why did I want to make up for it? And I even said I had time to load the bullets.

But what he said was "I'll give it to you tomorrow". Isn't that asking him to stay up all night and work all night?

But although he wanted to say this, he didn't say it in the end. Instead, he smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you are right. I do know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time!"

"Then tell me where you went wrong?"

"I...I...I don't know." Asan said with his head down.

Of course, he was not naive enough to think that he had wasted more than a hundred bullets, but he really couldn't think of where he went wrong, so he could only admit his mistake.

Jiang Li stopped being a hermaphrodite when he saw him like this. "You made a mistake by acting on your own. Don't you realize that you are being too casual in front of me?"

"The Maxim can kill people. You shot me from behind without my consent. This makes me very upset with you. To put it bluntly, it's overstepping your authority. To put it more seriously, it's disrespect for your superiors!"

"Do you know you are wrong now?"

Ah San then realized what he had done. He realized that he was indeed too casual. If the person behind him behaved in this way, he would have driven him away even if he didn't kill him.

After all, with such an unruly subordinate behind him, he might shoot him at any time, and then he would have no place to cry.

After thinking this through, he raised his head and saluted Jiang Li, "Master, rest assured, I have clearly realized my mistake and will never make it again!"

As he said that, he picked up the bullet and turned away.

Jiang Li saw that he really realized his mistake, so he said to him, "Okay, since you have realized your mistake, then put down this box of bullets, and let them load it together tomorrow!"

"Master, you don't have to do this. I really know I was wrong. It is right to punish those who make mistakes. Besides, you are the head of a county now, and it is not easy to change your orders every day. Don't worry, I will install them all even if I don't sleep tonight!"

Watching Asan leave, Jiang Li shook his head, turned back to the warehouse, lit the lantern on the wall, and put down the Maxim by the light of the fire.

But then he did catch a glimpse of two iron barrels from the corner of his eye, and when he saw the words 50 liters written on them, he felt very emotional, as he didn't buy a motorcycle, but instead bought 100 liters of gasoline.

But then he thought of another problem, that is, gasoline is a flammable item, and his warehouse still uses oil lamps for lighting. Although they have glass covers, they are open flames after all.

If there was any mistake, it would be a big trouble, so he simply put the two barrels of oil into the storage bag and waited until tomorrow to find someone to build a warehouse specifically for storing gasoline to avoid any hidden dangers.

After thinking about it, he put the Maxim gun he tested today into the storage bag and left the warehouse.

After finishing the meal and returning to the room with Ren Tingting, there was naturally some tenderness. Now Ren Tingting's belly was getting bigger and bigger, but it gave Jiang Li a different feeling.

The next morning, after Jiang Li finished his morning exercise, Asan, with dark circles under his eyes, handed him the bullet belts. Jiang Li took them without saying anything, waved his hand and let him go.

Afterwards, he took several Taoist soldiers and rushed to Tengteng County, where he found craftsmen and started building a gasoline warehouse.

But later he thought that he should build an indoor parking lot, but then he thought that he might buy trucks in the future, so he simply planned a large site and its architectural style became more like a military base.

Not only is there a five-meter-high wall, but there are also twelve watchtowers, as well as a canteen and living quarters for the soldiers on duty, so the total construction area reaches 100,000 square meters.

An area of ​​three hundred by three hundred and three may not sound large, but considering that this is just a parking lot for gasoline and motorcycles, the area is quite astonishing.

Jiang Li felt that it was inconvenient for the Jiang family to travel between Tengteng County, so he simply marked out a piece of land in Tengteng County and built a villa.

After Ren Tingting gives birth to the children, she can take them to live in Tengteng County. After all, Tengteng County has a lot of people and it is much more lively than the Jiang family. When she is not at home in the future, Ren Tingting will not be bored at home.

A few days later, the preliminary foundation leveling and preparation work was completed, and the construction materials were finally delivered. Then Jiang Li ordered the construction to begin.

Twenty days passed like this, and then someone sent by Old Wu came with the news that the motorcycle had been delivered. Jiang Li was very excited when he heard that.
