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

Chapter 182 Mandarin Duck Bath

"So you asked the purchasing staff to reduce the number of bullets purchased?" Jiang Li asked with a frown.

Old Wu was very confused when he heard this, "Master, we can produce this ourselves, why do we still need to purchase it in large quantities?"

Jiang Li shook his head upon hearing this. "Old Wu, you did something wrong. You are not allowed to reduce the quantity of materials I set for purchase in the future."

"Bullets are consumables and their production is limited. If we have one more bullet, others will have one less. This will be more advantageous for us in future battles. So we will take as many bullets as we have. Do you understand?"

"I understand, young master. I will never act on my own again!" Old Wu bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Okay, just remember this. Also, have the purchasing staff continue to purchase other equipment. Try to buy machines to repair weapons and even manufacture guns."

"I want to produce my own weapons and ammunition in the future. Buying them from other places is too passive!"

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he let Old Wu leave.

After he left, he sat down at the table again and carefully listed the materials needed to build a vehicle repair shop and an armory.

An hour later, Jiang Youchi came to the study again and handed over a stack of reports. "Master, please take a look. This is the intelligence we have gathered recently. Although I exaggerated a bit before, it was not too much. Please don't be angry!"

Jiang Li took the report and started reading it. He mainly looked at the equipment and manpower situation of those warlords. After reading it, he found that Jiang Youchi was indeed not making false reports before.

It clearly records the types and age of weapons and equipment seen by the intelligence personnel, as well as the number and content of their training.

After taking a look, Jiang Li really discovered that these people's army was just as Jiang Youchi said, with old weapons and lack of training.

As for the specific number of people, a simple estimate was made based on the amount of food and vegetables they purchased daily. Although it would not be very accurate, the difference was not very large, so Jiang Li did not pursue it.

Finally, he read the report on the living conditions of the local people. He found that except for a part of the farmers, their lives were indeed difficult and miserable as Jiang Youchi had said.

Although most other peasants were also suffering from heavy oppression, they were far from being as eager to be included in his command as he said.

Many of them don’t even understand their own policies. They have only heard of their own names from some places, but don’t know them very well.

As for the landlords, gentry and businessmen, because they were rich and powerful, and their families were very interconnected, the warlords did not dare to offend them too much and only collected some symbolic taxes.

If I attack them, instead of supporting them, they will probably help to resist. After all, my taxation and law enforcement policies are very unfriendly to them.

Seeing this, Jiang Li frowned, "I won't pursue it this time, but if there is a next time, be careful or I will shoot you in the head!"

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Master. I know I was wrong and I will never make the same mistake again!"

Having said that, Jiang Youchi was about to leave.

Jiang Li stopped him and said, "After that, focus on investigating Guyang County. The warlord there is the weakest. We should attack him first if we have a chance!"

Jiang Youchi immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master. I will take people to investigate right away. I guarantee that we will find out what kind of pants that Marshal is wearing!"

"Okay, okay, go down and do your job. Don't let me down!" Jiang Li waved his hands impatiently and drove Jiang Youchi away.

After dealing with these things, it was already past five o'clock. Jiang Li left the study and went to the hall to chat with his family about some family matters, and then started eating with them.

After finishing the meal with laughter and conversation, he was pulled back to the room by Ren Tingting.

As soon as they returned to the room, Ren Tingting hugged Jiang Li warmly and stood on tiptoe to hug him. Jiang Li had been quite depressed during this period, but his remaining rationality reminded him.

He thought that he had been running for a long time and had not yet cleaned himself properly, so he gently pulled Ren Tingting away and said softly: "Tingting, don't be anxious. I have been running for so long and have not yet washed myself. Let's take a shower first. There is no need to rush this matter."

But at this time, Ren Tingting was pregnant, her female hormone secretion was vigorous, and her emotions had not been released for a long time. Now she was already aroused, so how could she listen to what Jiang Li said?

She just kept leaning against Jiang Li, talking coquettishly.

Jiang Li couldn't fulfill her wish at this moment, so he carefully picked her up and brought her to the bathroom, gently took off her clothes and put her into the bathtub.

Then he took off his clothes and got into the bathtub, and the two of them took a warm bath together.

Although Ren Tingting made some small movements during the shower, Jiang Li skillfully pushed them away. After more than ten minutes, they finished washing.

At this time, the mood of both of them was very high. Jiang Li simply covered them with bath towels and carried Ren Tingting, who had a charming look in her eyes, back to the room.

Gently placing it on the bed, Ren Tingting couldn't wait any longer and immediately wrapped herself around Jiang Li like an octopus. He was also breathing rapidly at this moment, but he still restrained himself for a moment.

He put her down gently. After all, with his current body size, if he pressed on Ren Tingting's big belly, the consequences would be disastrous.

It lasted for a long time until Ren Tingting begged for mercy from exhaustion, and then he stopped.

Although he was not satisfied yet, he did not continue. After all, the woman in front of him was his wife, not a toy.

Looking at Ren Tingting who was like a pile of mud, he put a piece of clothes on her, then reached out and carried her to the bathroom to wash her again, and then carried her back to the room.

After putting it down and lying beside her, Ren Tingting, who had recovered some strength, spoke up, "Brother Li, am I really useless? You can't stand it after just two strokes. I feel like you didn't enjoy it enough!"

Jiang Li straightened her messy hair casually, "What are you talking about? It's inconvenient for you to do this now because you're pregnant."

"Wait until you give birth to the child, and then practice the Hehuan Jue. Then we can practice and do this at the same time. Then I will naturally enjoy it."

Ren Tingting nodded solemnly after hearing this, "Brother Li, wait for me. I will definitely work hard to practice and strive to master this technique as soon as possible!"

After hearing what she said, Jiang Li leaned over and gave her a passionate kiss, then held her in his arms and fell asleep together.

The next morning, he got up early, did his morning exercises, and after breakfast, he handed the drawings of the auto repair shop, armory, and a larger warehouse for storing gasoline that he had planned yesterday to Old Wu.

And ask him to find someone to calculate the materials, and then arrange personnel to purchase the materials. As for construction, there is no rush in the next one or two days, and it will not be too late to start construction once the materials are in place.

Upon hearing this, Old Wu naturally wrote down everything. After confirming that Jiang Li had no other requests, he turned around and left to take care of the matter.
