It's not like Ye Zhongming has never seen a large amount of materials. Whether it's the high-quality materials brought back from the secret realm, the materials obtained at the Puxing Town trading market, or the sea monster materials gathered together during the previous city-within-city guard war, the quantity is huge.
Quite a few, especially the last two times, the materials piled together can be described as hills.
But this time, Ye Zhongming saw...many small hills.
The Yunding warriors who were cleaning the battlefield had sorted the materials into different categories, from low to high levels, and from large to small in size, and arranged them neatly in front of Ye Zhongming one by one.
"Half of it was collected by our own people. Because we don't have many people and we have to cut the materials from the sea beasts for cleaning and processing, the progress is relatively slow. However, the people from Yingcheng didn't come to help."
Mo Ye accompanied Ye Zhongming, looking at these materials and talking. Even though she had witnessed the formation of these 'material hills' in the past two days, she still felt excited when she saw them now.
Women are inherently more talented than men in this area, and Mo Ye is no exception. She knows the value of these materials very well, and knows what they mean when she has Ye Zhongming.
It is not difficult to imagine that after a period of time, after Ye Zhongming and Yunding Villa consume these materials, Yunding's overall strength will take a big step forward again.
Ye Zhongming nodded, knowing what Mo Ye meant. It wasn't that the various forces in Yingcheng didn't want to come to help, they were just avoiding suspicion, lest people in Genting mistakenly think that they were greedy for materials.
"The other half was sent over by people from Yingcheng." Mo Ye smiled helplessly.
After cleaning the battlefield, the forces in Yingcheng came over to deliver some materials to Yunding Villa. The reasons were surprisingly unified. Thank you Yunding for taking care of them during this period.
The reason is high-sounding, and it is true to some extent, but the real purpose is tacitly understood by everyone. It is nothing more than to win Genting's favor and sell a favor.
They also obtained a large amount of materials this time. Perhaps it was because of Ye Zhongming's 'disaster' to Yingcheng. Except for Haidong from Dongshankou Village, there were no other craftsmen there.
The value of these materials can be used to turn them into weapons and equipment, so they can only turn to Ye Zhongming for help. Sending some materials may seem like a loss, but these things were originally given to them by Genting. The difference is just whether they get more or less.
A little less, but it can make Boss Ye feel good, give priority to manufacturing some good equipment for his own power, and get closer to Yunding Villa in the future. This is not to say a huge profit, but it is definitely a good deal.
There is no fool who can survive till now. Even a fool, after following Yunding Villa all the way down, he will know how to get along with that boss Ye.
So the loot, which was already a lot, suddenly doubled.
Mo Ye tilted his head and looked at the small groups gathering in the distance, but he always looked at the major forces in Yingcheng here from time to time, and said after a sigh: "Of course, these people are very slippery.
The materials they sent were either high or low, basically concentrated at level three or four, with only a few big forces sending a little bit of level five materials, and they weren't really too ambitious."
Ye Zhongming glanced at the female armed police officer in surprise, who was expressing dissatisfaction with a subtle hum, and said to himself that it seemed that no matter how cold or grand a woman was, she was the same as a little woman in some aspects.
"This is actually pretty good. Sharing interests is easier said than done, especially in the last days when whoever has the biggest fist has the final say. Many people ignore this rule, so that later on,
The road becomes narrower."
Now that Mo Ye is positioned as the commander of conventional armed forces in the future, Ye Zhongming feels it is necessary to explain some thoughts to her: "We don't want to be like this. While ensuring our core interests, in other less important aspects, we can
It is really necessary to properly leak some things to those who follow us or listen to us. Over time, these people will become our... to put it nicely, become our helpers and allies, to put it harshly.
At one point, they will become our shield, our employees, and our eyeliners, monitor our surroundings for us, earn benefits for us, and even ward off disasters for us."
"Being kind to them is, to a certain extent, being kind to ourselves."
Ye Zhongming glanced at Mo Ye, who was thoughtful, and continued: "Of course there is a problem of degree. Let's slowly explore and grasp it."
Xia Bai was the only one beside them, so Ye Zhongming had no scruples in speaking. These two women were the people he trusted the most.
"I am going to establish the Yungang branch here. Xiaopeng will be the person in charge. You have recently helped him select some decent ones from those who have not left. First, build the framework, and then select some more brains from the people in our villa.
Those who are flexible and willing to stay will be our backbone.”
Inside Yunding Villa, there was actually the sound of expanding footsteps. This was the first time that Ye Zhongming stretched his hand outside Yingcheng. Mo Ye's eyes lit up when he heard it.
Mo Ye is actually a staunch supporter of rapid expansion. Especially after Genting has successively encountered behemoths like the Retail Chamber of Commerce Yao Shijun, she feels that she must at least not be weaker than the opponent in terms of numbers, so that conflicts will arise in the future.
At least this aspect won't be too embarrassing.
Mo Ye, Xia Lei, Liang Chuyin, and even Pu Xiuying and Xia Bai all felt that Ye Zhongming should directly incorporate the entire Yingcheng into the villa. This shows that women's ambitions are not much smaller than men's.
It's just that Ye Zhongming has always pursued the strategy of having better troops and simpler administration, so they can't say anything. Now that they know that Ye Zhongming is going to establish the Yungang branch, Mo Ye is naturally excited.
"But isn't it too far away from us?" This is what Mo Ye is worried about. Once any crisis occurs, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the people nearby.
Ye Zhongming nodded: "It is indeed far away, but on the other hand, it also ensures the independence here. In the apocalypse, each place has its own development characteristics according to region. I don't want all our branches to be the same in the future.
If it comes out of a mold, it will be too easy for others to understand, and the error tolerance rate will be low, which may not necessarily be a good thing."
Ye Zhongming didn't elaborate on this aspect. It's very complicated. It comes from Ye Zhongming's experience in his previous life. It's not easy to explain now. Mo Ye and others will understand it slowly.
"But I got the Sea Crown. Some attribute abilities can only be most effective in places with the sea, so no matter how far away we are, we have to build a branch here. And we also need the huge resources in the ocean. In the future,
This will be our magic crystal base and material base."
Mo Ye nodded and kept all this in mind.
"Where's the magic crystal?" After basically explaining it, Ye Zhongming asked about the magic crystal, and Mo Ye told him that Xia Bai's team was guarding it.
"Let's go spin the roulette, but this time, I have to do it by myself." Ye Zhongming thought that he might have to spin in front of the roulette all day and all night, and he felt that the whole world was not good.
At this time, the Scorpion War Department, which was on the march in a hurry, was still fifty kilometers away from Ye Zhongming. (To be continued.) 8
