Xia Daxue saw Shen Rui's embarrassment and changed the subject without leaving any trace: "Forget it, just let us women worry about this matter. Anyway, it won't bother you, boss."
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Sister Xia," Shen Rui reassured, "Would you like to send you a separate advanced red envelope?"
"Forget it, rewards and punishments must be fair. Only in this way can the atmosphere of the team be maintained. Otherwise, if we only talk about closeness and distance and don't talk about it, we must have a grudge in our hearts." Xia Daxue refused.
"Well, it's 2017 now, and we should make plans for this year early." He started to talk about business.
Xia Daxue thought of the director's instructions, hesitated and said: "The situation in the north is relatively stable. Now the south is a key development area. After all, the sun is dim. The importance of the south is even more prominent because the lighting there is much better."
"Yes, the originally sweltering south has become a comfortable place at this time. Nature still leaves us a glimmer of hope." Shen Rui nodded.
"Shangyun City recently sent us a request for assistance. The reward is very generous, no worse than that of the East Coast Pioneer Team." Xia Daxue continued.
"Oh, that is the largest fort in Kyushu, with a population of more than five million. Even in peacetime, it is a population that only a third-tier city can have." Shen Rui nodded.
"Yes, so they have a lot of money. Because they are backed by the Yangtze River Basin, they have rich products and sufficient food supply, which is much better than in the north. Of course, the pressure is also great. They have to face the three-way impact of land monsters, sea monsters, and water monsters at the same time." Xia Daxue continued.
"Then what do they want us to do? Is it to open another fishing ground?" Shen Rui speculated.
Xia Daxue said seriously: "It's not the same. They purchased the right to use the alienated seaweed from the East Coast Development Team and are preparing to build another maritime defense line along the seaport. They hope that we can provide protection to prevent sea monsters from being attacked during the construction process. destroy."
"I see, this is a good thing, but what is the reward?" Shen Rui will not refuse such a request, provided that he cannot work in vain.
If you work for free, you will fall into a vicious cycle. His team of thousands of people eat horses and chew every day, which consumes a lot of money. Now that they have just secured the northern inland sea fishery, they will be able to have a supply of affordable fish in the future, which can be regarded as a relief.
After all, monsters cannot appear every day, and the frequency of battles has been gradually decreasing recently.
In the early days, enemies didn't know his details and would often fight each other. But now, whenever they see his team, they just run away. It is basically impossible to hunt thousands of them at a time. They just hunt them piecemeal.
This is the advantage of having wisdom. In the past, those beasts were not wise. If they killed one group, the next group would be the same as before, unable to learn any lessons.
In the end, they are often killed to extinction by humans. If they are intelligent, even if they are unable to fight, there are many ways to use their home field advantage to ensure their own survival.
For example, birds and sea fish all occupy home field advantage. Guerrilla warfare is a battle that even the big powers cannot afford in the 21st century.
"The reward is to provide us with sufficient and affordable weapons and ammunition, as well as other mechanical parts, including maintenance of ships, and free use of their ports... The ammunition we are using now was previously allocated by the administration. The quantity is limited. Use up this A batch of them will not be allowed to be used by us for free in the future, just like this warship, the subsequent maintenance costs will have to be borne by our team." Xia Daxue explained.
"Well, that's fair. I'm very satisfied with the early support." Shen Rui certainly understands that everything is difficult at the beginning. Early free support is extremely valuable, and its significance is definitely not comparable to the same investment in the later stage.
"Then do you want to agree to their request?" Xia Daxue continued.
"Let's ask Teacher Wu and Brother Ouyang first to see what their tendencies are." Shen Rui hesitated and did not make an immediate decision.
Now his cavalry team is definitely the most popular in Kyushu, and he has a few requests sent through personal connections in his hands.
For example, Lord Zhan of Jihe Fort hopes that they can go out again to clean up the nearby Yellow River waterway. Although they cannot clean up the strange monsters on the land, they can always clean up the water surface.
Once the waterway is unblocked, it will definitely be great news for Jihe Fort, which means that they can arrange many settlements and branch forts along the river.
Compared with road transportation, river transportation is much lower cost and has a larger carrying capacity, which can greatly enhance their strength.
In this apocalyptic world, due to the sudden decline of industry, the water flow of the Yellow River began to recover, and it already had the same rushing scene as before.
In Shen Rui's previous life, he often heard that the Yellow River had dried up.
Ancient people would have never imagined that the ruthlessly flooding Yellow River would eventually become incurable due to the huge development of industrialization, so that it would have to be managed in turn to ensure that it continues to flow in order to maintain the water supply downstream.
He suppressed this matter temporarily before, not because he didn't want to help, but because there were many things going on at that time.
Another key point is that destroyers cannot enter the Yellow River. Only small ships can enter, such as torpedo boats.
Although he could fly over in Xiaoying, their team would have to fight the water monster on land. The battle would be huge and could easily break the previous agreement and make things difficult for the administration.
Now that he has free time, he also wants to solve this matter. A senior said that the old family should not be offended.
No matter how successful you are outside, your old family is your old family. Your ancestors and friends are all here, and they directly affect your reputation.
Even if you cannot be partial, you still need to take care of one or two things on a reasonable basis. This will make others feel that you are humane and it will be easier to gather trust and hope.
Not long after, Xia Daxue informed the two of them to come over.
Teacher Wu hesitated and said: "Jihe Fort also sent us a request for cooperation recently. After all, we have an old relationship. I thought it would be better to deal with their matters first."
As expected, Shen Rui felt relieved, Master Zhan would definitely not be looking for just him.
Ouyang Ling agreed with Xia Daxue's statement: "Shangyun City has a profound background, and Donghai Fortress has their shares. It will definitely be beneficial to get closer to them, and there will be no harm at all. Many big organizations have settled there. The headquarters of Thunder, where I come from, is right there."
Shen Rui nodded, remembering Ouyang's origin. Initially, the opponent was the expert foreign aid that Jihe Fort hired from Shangyun City for him. In the early battles, it played an irreplaceable tactical role. Until now, with the help of the sixth-level magic controller As the number of employees increased, the other party gradually moved to a management position.
"Then we will spend two days to evaluate the difficulty of the tasks of both parties, see which one is easier to complete, and deal with which one first, so that the delayed party will not wait too long and lose patience." Teacher Wu Compromised.
"That's very good, then let's arrange it this way." Shen Rui made the final decision.
"Well, there will be a lot of things to fight over in the future. We have to come up with a suitable measure. We can't be entangled like this every time." Teacher Wu suggested.
"Didn't you already be responsible for the formalization process? These measures must include how to accept external entrustments and how to deal with them..." Ouyang reminded.
"Well, things are so busy these days, didn't I get delayed? After the Chinese New Year, I immediately started working on it and tried to complete this regularization work in the first half of this year." Teacher Wu promised.
"Okay, I believe in Teacher Wu's ability." Shen Rui smiled.
