As autumn turns to winter, the weather begins to get colder. In the wilderness, business travelers come and go in waves.

In the land in the southwest, under the management of the Huaxia People's Government, the number of workshops near several major cities began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye. Simple or complex post nodes also began to prosper with the coming and going of business travel.

As it stood up, the surrounding villages began to form more obvious crowd gathering areas relying on the roads.

The riots or grand gatherings that occurred in Chengdu in July and August also brought a large number of business orders to the southwest. After seeing the bustle of Chengdu, private traders chose to conduct simple money transactions.

, and the representatives who came to watch the ceremony on behalf of various warlords and powerful clans obtained a larger-scale business plan with the Chinese Army. In addition to the first batch of sophisticated military supplies, there were also a large number of technology transfer agreements, which will be carried out later.

It will be carried out gradually over the next one or two years.

For these warlords and powerful clans, both transactions have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you choose to buy the Chinese army's artillery, guns, hundred-smelting steel knives and other items, it is better to buy a little, but the advantage is that they can be used immediately. If you choose technology transfer

, Huaxia Army needs to send skilled workers to be teachers. From the structure of the workshop to the operation and management of the assembly line, the entire set of talents has been trained. The price charged by Huaxia Army is high and time-consuming, but the advantage is that in the future, you will have your own things, no longer

Worried about antagonism with the Chinese army.

At this time, in the outside world, the Wu Dynasty existed in name only and had not long been disintegrated. Every emerging warlord and force was still in a sensitive adjustment and adaptation period. Some realized that the Wu Dynasty could no longer control their own military laws and began to control their own destiny, and some famous families began to control their own destiny.

Noble families began to move from behind the scenes to the front, and the children of famous families who had the world in mind were ready to take up their responsibilities. People who had experienced countless hardships during the war began to shout, "Princes, generals, and ministers should be willing to live together." During this period, there were also

Some local officials are still waiting for the return of Emperor Wu, but it will take time to verify who is shouting slogans and who is telling the truth.

In such a chaotic situation and complicated transition, there is no guarantee that whoever cannot guarantee the food of the people under his rule will raise his weapons and start begging for food from nearby areas. Therefore, the first step is to buy a batch of swords, guns and artillery produced in the southwest so that he can

The most reliable guarantee for survival in these troubled times - of course, this is also the usual rhetoric used by Chinese military officers when promoting products.

Since the southwest has just experienced war, materials and production lines are very tight, and weapons orders can only be placed on a first-come, first-served basis. Of course, those who can provide weapons materials in large quantities and exchange metal for artillery can get a slight priority.

Among them, the ambitious and well-connected Liu Guangshi was the first big customer of the Chinese Army. He ordered the largest amount of military supplies from the Chinese Army with a large amount of iron, copper, grain, ore and other materials. The entire order was negotiated.

After submitting the report, even Ning Yi, who was accustomed to the big world and had just taken over the chairmanship at the August Congress, couldn't help but praise: "It's bright and grand. If Liu Guangshi wants to be popular, he should be the boss..."

As he spoke, he wished he could give up his title of boss to him and get more orders.

Of course, the orders are indeed enough. From Liu Guangshi onwards, there have been orders and intentions mainly focused on the military industry, which is enough for the Chinese military to achieve the current production plan in two years.

In addition to materials, there are various methods of technology transfer. Some involve inviting technical personnel from the Chinese Army to come over. The problem with this method is that the supporting facilities are not enough. All personnel must be trained from scratch, which takes longer. Some of them do it themselves locally.

Recruit reliable personnel or directly send children from the family to Chengdu, and send them to the factory for training according to the contract. Spending some time on the road will make them become talents faster, and there are those who want to recruit and train people locally in Chengdu and then take them away. The Chinese Army does not

Guaranteed that they will really follow after they learn...

Of course, the more humane and relatively complex the training method, the higher the fee. This is also very reasonable.

Liu Guangshi also purchased several of the most expensive and key military technologies. At least from a contract perspective, at this time, he will completely copy the entire military industry of the Chinese Army, except for rockets. Although such an order is not

He wants to empty out his fortune, but all the surrounding warlords will definitely look down on him within a few years, including Ning Yi. When he saw a group of envoy members including Yan Daolun, Yu Hezhong, they all had

Very warm smile.

This kind of trade comes and goes. Since September, there has been an endless flow of cars and boats on the water and land trade road from Chengdu to Jiange. The rugged mountain roads and plank roads near Jiange have been carefully widened and reinforced twice by the Chinese Army's engineering troops.

.As for the waterway out of Sichuan, it has become more prosperous. With large and small ships traveling on the Jialing River, various shipyards have accelerated their work.

The nearby forces, big and small, are now busy transporting supplies to the southwest. When things arrive first, artillery can be transported out first. Once the artillery is transported out, whether it is to fight thieves or prevent thieves, they can take the lead - Chinese Military Affairs Officer

What they said is also reasonable, and no one would find it ridiculous. Of course, I am not a madman, but who knows if the person next door will suddenly go crazy. Now that the emperor doesn't care about anything, the only thing we can believe is in our own hands.

swords, guns and clubs.

On the surface, transactions are extremely prosperous, and secretly, black market business, smuggling, etc. are also gradually emerging. Even if it is not an official caravan, if some new guns can be shipped out from the southwest, it cannot do business directly with the Chinese army.

Dai Mengwei and others are also happy to buy it, and even transport it to Lin'an and sell it to Wu Qimei, maybe they can earn more - maybe because they don't have enough time to go to Lin'an and back, so everyone

We still don’t know what kind of reputation Wu Qimei has.

The huge prosperity brought huge shock and chaos, so that since August, Ning Yi has been sitting in Chengdu, personally suppressing the entire situation and slowly getting back on track, while the Huaxia Army severely purged several batches of officials.

.

After a great victory, there were rewards based on merit, and now they suddenly became the center of the world, subject to all kinds of temptations. These were the first people to reach out. As Ning Yi said in the previous meeting, he made them

It is a model of strict treatment, ranging from shooting to imprisonment, and all the offenders' duties will be dealt with to the end.

In this way, it was not until mid-December that Ning Yi temporarily released Chengdu, which was basically on the right track and could operate independently under the supervision of officials. On December 20, he returned to Zhangcun and prepared to spend his childhood with his family.

Year.

The carriage passed through the road in the wilderness. It rarely snowed in the winter in the southwest, but the temperature still dropped. Ning Yi sat in the car and felt tired when he was free.

He has been thinking a lot about "Why bother?" recently, because the pace of work is getting closer and closer to the rhythm of his previous life, with meetings, inspections, conversations, weighing people's hearts...every day goes on and on. The situation in Chengdu is uncertain. Except for Xigua, other family members

It's not easy to come here, and he is becoming more and more powerful, and his work style has always been domineering. During the start-up period, his leadership may be meticulous, but once he is on the right track, he is the kind of "you don't need to understand me, just look up to me."

"", sometimes when I reflect on it, I can't help but feel that the recent past is no different from my previous life.

It was the afternoon when I got home. At this time, the school in Zhangcun had not yet gone on winter vacation. Several children at home, Yunzhu, Jin'er and others were still in school. When I got off the car at the gate of the yard, I saw not far away.

There is a figure waving on the hillside, but it is Hongti who has been protecting Zhang Village these days. She is wearing a camouflage military uniform. Even from a distance, you can see the smile on her face. Ning

Yi then waved his hand exaggeratedly, and then motioned for her to come quickly.

Hongti pointed to the yard: You go first.

There was no one in the courtyard outside. When I entered the courtyard inside, I saw two figures sitting at a small table choosing vegetables. Su Tan'er was wearing a red-striped dress with a white background, a red cloak on her back, and her hair

With her long ponytail and girlish attire, she looked a little weird at first glance. Ning Yi thought about it, but it was the first time he met his runaway wife after he woke up from a coma many years ago.

The other party's clothes are dressed up.

At that time, she was going to meet this strange husband for the first time. On the one hand, she wanted to show off her power, and on the other hand, she also planned to make peace. Therefore, she dressed very carefully and probably chose a lot of time. Perhaps it was also because of this that she wore this outfit.

She still remembers dressing up.

Xiao Chan, who was sitting on the other side of the stone table, had already seen him and waved her hand. Tan'er looked sideways with a smile on her face: "How is it?" She has an oval face and has not changed much in so many years. She is just the head of the house.

Over the years, her eyebrows have gained a bit of restrained wisdom and maturity. Now she was sitting sideways, with her long braids hanging down, giving her a bit of a girlish look. Ning Yi looked at her with a smile.

"It looks like it's almost faded, but it's still there."

"My husband, do you still remember this person?"

"Can't forget."

"I almost forgot about it earlier. When I ran away from Jiang Ning, I brought this one with me. I kept it in the cabinet and recently took it out to dry it. I used to like this red cloak, but now it's a little furry.

"

Ning Yi laughed: "I heard that you are wearing a red cloak recently, which is almost frightening people. Those who come to kill you think you are the Blood Bodhisattva."

What he was referring to was the commotion that occurred in Zhang Village in July and August. At that time, a group of people came over excitedly and said they would do something to Ning Rentu's family and children. Most of them were caught by mistake and could be dealt with immediately.

I saw Tan'er's cold face. The punishment here has always been extreme. Anyone who caused serious injuries to people would be shot. Those who caused property damage would be sent to the mines and locked up with Jurchen coolies. No matter what,

Most of these people who accept money redemption will have to work as coolies in the mines for more than ten years before they can be released, and many more may die due to various accidents during this period.

This is the result of Ning Yi's persuasion. Tan'er has a good brain and is more open-minded than other women in many ideas, but when it comes to dealing with family matters, she is no better than a simple landowner.

It was not enough for a group of people to cause trouble for her husband in Chengdu. They also came here and tried to kill or abduct the children at home. If she followed her true intentions, anyone with such an idea should be punished.

Because of this, during that time, she personally intervened in every incident that occurred. Ning Yi demanded that the crime be punished according to the law, so she demanded that the crime must be punished to the fullest extent according to the provisions of the law.

At the end of July, many Green Forest people were still partying and were very busy about the Chengdu incident. Those who went to Zhangcun one after another were mostly impassioned. By August, the military parade was over and the Congress was held. Regarding the things in Zhangcun

The details were just passed on, and those who actually ran over and took action didn't end well.

As for the woman who appears at the scene like the King of Hell every time, she is also vividly described in the rumors. Everyone says that this is the one in Ning Yi's wife who was nicknamed "Blood Bodhisattva", who killed people in Luliang Mountain that year.

Ruma and Lin Zongwu were all defeated by her, but they didn't take any action after getting married. This time, everyone who went to Zhangcun got into trouble with this great master.

In the past, only a few people in the world knew about Hongti, but Zhuji's publicity often bypassed her. Therefore, the only great masters that people cared about for more than ten years were the upright "Iron Arm" Zhou Tong and the villain "Chuang Lin".

"North Leg" Lin Zongwu, the indescribable great master Ning Rentu and the others. This time the incident in Zhang Village caused a huge uproar, and only then did someone dig it out from the depths of their memories, giving Hong Ti a strong sense of existence.

.

Speaking of this matter, Tan'er's brows also flashed a bit of evil spirit, and then she smiled: "I have discussed it with Sister Tizi, and from now on I will be given the nickname 'Blood Bodhisattva', and she will use another one."

.”

"For what?"

"Blood grapes." Xiaochan rushed to say.

"..."

Tan'er chuckled, and Ning Yi was stunned for a long time. He sat down next to him, hugged Xiaochan and kissed her hard on the face: "...it's still...quite cute, so that's the decision. We have a Blood Bodhisattva in our family.

, a Blood Grape, Grape sounds like a follower, but in fact he has the highest martial arts skills, which is good."

After the three of them smiled and arranged for the one with the best martial arts skills but the most easy-going temperament in the family, Ning Yi began to ask about the situation of a group of children in the family.

At this time, starting from Ning Ji, Yunzhu’s eldest daughter, Wenwen, was already twelve years old. Wen Jing loved reading, and she looked like a replica of her mother when she smiled. Ning He’s personality was not strong. At the age of nine, she looked

He is just an ordinary silly boy. In the absence of external pressure, he did not even show the martial arts talent like his mother Hongti, and his grades were only average. Perhaps Hongti, who lived in peace and quiet, would not become a martial artist.

Ning Yi is the best in the world in martial arts, but Ning Yi actually doesn't intend to exploit his potential too much.

Ning Ke, who is the same age as Ning He, maintains her usual lively and helpful character. She has the most friends and the best popularity in the school. She worries about this and that every day and becomes an entertainer in the school.

Members of committee members and life committee members are just keen on other people's things and always fall behind in their own homework, which makes Jin'er very worried. Jin'er has always flaunted herself as selfish and can't figure out why her daughter has always been so stupid.

Of course, Ning Yi can understand something if he thinks about it in private. If Jin'er as a child would not have been sold because of poverty and would not have experienced so many ups and downs, then maybe Ning Ke today would be
