If you want to buy property at a low price from the person who counts and confiscates, the speed must be fast, because after passing through this village, there will be no such store.

Bi Jin and I went to the Yiwang Mansion to find Liu Qing that day, but unfortunately we didn't find him. Liu Qing didn't know where he was busy, so I handed a ten-yuan note to the servant who was guarding the door and asked him to send me a message to Liu Qing, saying that I had business and wanted to talk to him.

When we went to the Yiwang Mansion, we happened to catch up with the people from the Yiwang Mansion to change the plaque. When we arrived, the plaque of the Yiwang Mansion had been taken off, and the new plaque that the servants were hanging was "Shengwang Mansion".

This is because King Yi is dead and the mansion has been replaced by the head. As compensation for the King Yi is the only remaining son, the emperor has decided to add Xuan Sheng Hou to "King Sheng". King Sheng's mansion is naturally called Prince Sheng's Mansion.

Although the edict has not been released yet, this matter is a foregone conclusion. In this incident, the Xiangning family was completely destroyed and the Wing King died. The Wing King's faction has suffered a great blow. However, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. If other factions want to take advantage of the situation, the remnants of the forces headed by Xuan Shenghou will definitely fight to the death with the court.

This is not the result that other factions want, so no one in the court has any objections to this additional seal. Even if the people from the Yiwang Mansion blatantly change the plaque in advance, no one would say anything.

The Yiwang Mansion is completely gone...

Before getting on the bus, I looked at the new plaque that was about to be hung and sighed heavily.

After recuperating for a few days, my whip injuries were almost healed. The gunshot wounds had not healed yet, but this was a skin injury, which was not a big problem. I didn't want to stay in the hospital for too long, so I told Bi Jin that I would be discharged. Bi Jin asked the driver to take me back to the hospital and asked the doctor to do a test for me. After confirming that the injury was fine, he completed the discharge procedures for me.

Because the scars on my body have not yet disappeared, I don’t want to go home too early. If I go home one day late, the scars will fade away and my family will feel distressed one day late. I plan to go back to the army. If I go back to the army, Lin Zhongsheng will not be able to follow me because he is from the Third Legion, and it is okay to visit here occasionally. Without official procedures, he cannot live here forever.

Lin Zhongsheng could go through the official procedures, but he really didn't want to enter the camp of the Seventh Legion. I could understand his disgust for the Seventh Legion, so I didn't make things difficult for him and asked him to go back to the Third Legion first. If something happened above or if Wen Xiangwu had something to inform me, he could come to me at any time.

On the afternoon of the 29th, the old farmer held a rehabilitation celebration for me in the army, and all the soldiers of the regiment came. The so-called rehabilitation celebration was to eat and drink in the cafeteria, find a few Wu Jie to dance, sing, etc. The money for wine and food and the money for inviting Wu Jie were spontaneously collected by his subordinates, and they raised more than 200 yuan in total.

Everyone was very enthusiastic. I was also very satisfied with this celebration, but the old farmer was not very satisfied. He thought everyone was taking too little money. Except for him, the one who took the most was only one dollar, which was not interesting enough.

I can understand everyone. It has been a while since the last payout, and everyone will definitely spend a lot of money when eating, drinking, and having fun. I am afraid that there is not much money in their pocket. In this case, it is already very interesting to be able to take out 50 cents per dollar to make up for the share.

Not long after the celebration was over, Lin Zhongsheng came to the military camp. He brought me three things, the first was the permission to form an infantry regiment, the second was the admission notice from the Yuanxing Army Officer School, and the third was the order directly issued by the Ministry of National Defense, which promoted me from a second lieutenant to a captain.

My God, it’s so irritating to let the Ministry of Defense issue such an order!

Logically speaking, this order should be issued by the Seventh Corps. After all, the officer to be promoted is just a small second lieutenant. Although it was promoted to three levels in a row, the legion-level units still have this power, and there is no need to alarm the Ministry of National Defense.

Lin Zhongsheng explained that this was to make me separate from the Seventh Corps. After the order issued by the Ministry of National Defense, I was not a member of the Seventh Corps, but a member of the Central Committee. Before the order was issued, my military status had been moved. However, because other troops had no vacant positions, my military status had to be temporarily placed in the Seventh Corps.

He also said that this was only the first promotion, and there would be another one later. The captain was just a company level, and the next task I had to handle was to form an infantry regiment. Those who performed the entire mission must at least be at the deputy regiment level.

The army has military rules, and it is already the limit to three levels in a row, so there is no more. In order to get me to the deputy regiment level, I have to be promoted once before the Ministry of National Defense issues the order to reorganize the Seventh Corps. When the Seventh Corps officially starts reorganization, I will be promoted once again, so that the minimum requirements can be met.

"Uh...Lieutenant Lin, didn't you say that the reorganization may start before the New Year? The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I was promoted to two consecutive positions in such a short time, and a total of six levels were promoted. This is too - fast."

I originally wanted to say "too sarcastic", but I should have figured it out with my toes that this promotion was arranged by Wen Xiangwu. How could Wen Xiangwu do something like a sarcastic drama - even if it is a sarcastic drama, I can't say it out!

"Lieutenant Gun--Oh no, now you should call Captain Gun. Captain Gun, you will ask this, which means you are a person who follows the rules. It is a good thing to follow the rules, but there are exceptions in everything.

Since ancient times, the capable are respected in any field, and the army is even more so. When politics is clear, the capable and the mediocre are in their own positions, the capable are in high positions, and the mediocre are in low positions. This is order. Order cannot be chaotic. If the capable are in low positions, they cannot fully exert their performance; if the mediocre are in high positions, it will cause disaster.

The reason why the graduates of Yuanxing Land School have various privileges is that the graduates of Yuanxing Land School are all elites of the empire. Elites are those who are capable. Those who are capable are restricted by rules and cannot fully display their talents, which will cause losses to the army and even the country.

Gun Captain, you are a talented person with high qualifications. All you lack is the necessary knowledge and experience. Knowledge can be learned in school and experience can be accumulated as needed. You have been a grassroots officer, grassroots, and even middle-level officer for two years. You have accumulated enough experience. At least one battalion is more than enough, and there is no need to waste time.

To say something you may not like to hear, from the moment you put on your military uniform, your time no longer belongs to you. Every minute of waste will cause losses to the army and the country. In my humble opinion, you need to look higher and far away, put the country and the overall situation first, and do not be distracted by the matters of furniture and wealth. As long as you work hard for the country, the principal will definitely not treat you badly."

As early as when I first chatted with Lin Zhongsheng, I realized that he was a patriotic soldier. Unfortunately, he was patriotic and I was not patriotic. I only love my family and the people around me. But I don’t have any feelings for the country. If I can take into account both, it would be the best. If I can’t, then I will definitely choose my family and the people around me. As for the country, go wherever I love!

I know that Lin Zhongsheng is urging me to not get too close to Bi Jin. That won’t work. Bi Jin is my brother, and maybe my elder brother-in-law in the future. When I meet face to face, I have to call him “big brother”. Whether it is my elder brother or brother, they are all relatives, so how can I not get close to you!

Although I thought so in my heart, I definitely couldn't say that. I acted like I was taught, first responded to him, and then played the family card with him, indicating that Bi Jin and I could not completely break off contact and would still meet in the future. The only thing I could assure him was that I would do my best to work and try not to focus on other things.

I have always tried my best to work. As for trying not to be distracted - Isn't this the degree of effort still my final say?

Lin Zhongsheng is a real person, and my acting skills are pretty good, he didn't see that I was being fooled. After that, he encouraged me and left with satisfaction.
