When it comes to relationships, time is of the essence. It doesn't matter if you get to know them too early or too late.
——Anonymous author, "Youth Daily"
Yin Minghong never quite understood this sentence before, but he gradually understood it during this time.
In Xuanzhu County, which is in the "Golden Wind" season, the sky dawns very early. When Yin Minghong finished washing, he found that Mu Qingmei was still lazy in bed, so he knocked on the door loudly: "Get up and practice!"
He called several times before a soft muttering came from inside: "...I won't practice today."
"That's not okay. You practice in the summer and in the winter. If you don't practice for a day, you will know it. If you don't practice for a week, the enemy will know it. If you don't practice for a month, everyone will know it. Get up quickly, get up!"
"Don't disturb my sleep!"
Mu Qingmei in the room made a cry like a little tiger, which was so cute and cute that people couldn't help but want to go into the room and wake her up. However, Yin Minghong frowned, and he went to the utility room to find the one he had hidden.
After lighting the firecrackers, he threw them into Mu Qingmei's room, and then used the Qinggong steps of Lingxu's fighting method, and ran out of the yard like a phantom!
The moment he left the courtyard door, a loud boom exploded in Mu Qingmei's room. The next second, a sharp light burst passed through the window, passed by Yin Minghong's ear, and scratched his earlobe!
Phaseless Warfare·Magic Spear!
Seeing the explosion of light inside, Yin Minghong quickly closed the courtyard door and ran away. At the end, he shouted: "Hurry to work after practice!"
Another burst of light appeared, hitting the pitted steel courtyard door hard.
Mu Qingmei has lived with him since he was a child, and he has always been responsible for Mu Qingmei's daily life. During the days when he went to Red Moon Fortress, Mu Qingmei lived alone, and no outsiders could participate.
In the lives of these two brothers and sisters.
Nothing else.
Because Mu Qingmei was so angry when she woke up.
At that time, medical officer Wen Hong wanted to take care of Mu Qingmei for a period of time, but in the end he obediently let her live alone. Living with Mu Qingmei, in Wen Hong's words, meant that 'either my internal combat skills will reach the peak
, or my beauty is fleeting'.
Ever since Yin Minghong returned to Xuanzhu County, he has been urging Mu Qingmei to practice diligently. During the days when he was away, although Mu Qingmei was very free every day, she just practiced casually and did not practice in the dark.
Not practicing too much in the sun, not practicing too early, is very perfunctory.
If her efficiency in practicing with all her strength is 100, then her efficiency when she is perfunctory is at most 50.
Recently, because I have to be responsible for the affairs of the newspaper office, I have more excuses not to practice, and it may have dropped to 40.
And when Yin Minghong practices with all his strength, he should only be around 10.
Therefore, even if he risks being accidentally killed by Mu Qingmei, he must let her practice well.
"There are three types of stupid birds: one does not fly, one flies first, and one lets its children fly hard."
The sentence he saw in the newspaper two days ago suddenly flashed through Yin Minghong's mind.
He smiled and admitted secretly that he was such a person, but he felt no shame in his heart.
Because Mu Qingmei represents the future, her current task is to grow up quickly and fly higher into the blue sky.
And he is a stupid bird who is still somewhat useful.
Naturally, he is responsible for the dirty work of removing bugs.
After wandering all the way, Yin Minghong came to the semi-urban area that was in need of reconstruction. At this time, the semi-urban area had entered the reconstruction stage, and many workers had turned into plasterers, but moving bricks did not require special training. These people were used to hard work.
People got started quickly.
Because of the strong commercial atmosphere and the loss of the prison of 'factory', a small market was formed unknowingly in the small city gate road from Xuanzhu County to Bancheng District, where water sellers sold food and shouted.
In other words, there were even storytellers, and the workers who had not yet moved bricks gathered around and listened intently.
Yin Minghong listened closely and found that he was talking about the story of Liu Yu's college entrance examination in "Future Echoes". It seemed that the plot of "Liu Yu" was connected and told continuously.
He was a little surprised. He thought the workers would be more interested in hearing the story of the 'Hidden Voice'. After all, it was a wonderful experience of a time traveler looking for a job in the future world, and it should be more attractive to them.
But when he listened to the whispers of the workers, he suddenly understood why the storyteller chose to talk about the "Liu Yu" fragment.
"I used to be like Liu Yu, and I was very good at studying. Many little girls came to me to ask questions. If I were to travel through time, I would definitely become that, what, yes, academic master!"
"Tch, if I were me, I would definitely be able to get admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, get a scholarship, go to college without spending a penny, and even give some money to my family!"
"Just blow it!"
"You didn't wake up either!"
"Just dream, haven't you heard? The college entrance examination has to be competed with students from all over the country. There will be millions of candidates in the future. You two are just top-notch. How do you want to pass millions of people?
"
"We have no conditions!"
"Nonsense, do you still need to move bricks if you have the conditions?"
"Stop making noise! The school beauty who looks like my sister in her previous life has come to see Liu Yu! Here comes the drama!"
"Oh oh oh oh!"
Yin Minghong listened for a while and found that the storyteller actually added to the drama.
As we all know, Mr. Shuren is an author who does not play with third-rate people, does not play with shit, writes with integrity, is pure and elegant, so although he wrote "Liu Yu", he met the little devil school girl, the arrogant school girl, and the pure girl in the future world.
There are characters such as the school belle, the gentle female teacher, etc., but the writing is very simple and there are few updates, so they are often just clicked, without giving readers any chance to fantasize.
But this kind of story naturally cannot win the rewards of the lower-level people, so the storyteller himself added some colorful plots, which made everyone excited early in the morning. Then he pretended to take a drink of water to interrupt the story, and the audience responded generously.
'Mr. Shuren has never written such a plot!'
Yin Minghong complained in his heart and left quickly, arriving at the new camp next to the patrol team.
There were many people watching in the shadowed corners nearby, and there were also many children looking curiously. Two soldiers in light blue uniforms stood at the door, and a man wearing a hood leaned against him to argue. When Yin Minghong approached, he
He took the initiative to greet him: "Second Master."
It was Rong Yao, the handyman in the white night, the overlord of the Chuan Chuan world, the man who was dragged into marriage by more than a dozen rich women every day.
"Good morning." Yin Minghong nodded towards Rong Yao: "Go in."
The two walked into the camp and saw several teams of naval sergeants practicing their tactics on the flat ground, shirtless and working hard. A young and strong officer was inspecting the training of each team. If he slacked off a little, he would come over with a kick.
, scolded sternly.
Seeing Yin Minghong come in, the officer looked happy and turned around and shouted angrily: "What are you looking at? Who dares to be lazy and look over here, I will practice thirty more laps!"
"Lao Wan, why do I always see you training the team whenever I come here?" Yin Minghong said with a smile.
"These bastards, if they don't practice for a day, they will be eaten up and wiped clean by the sea barbarians when they get back!" The officer smiled and said: "Second Master, will we have a job again? I will have people gather together right now!"
Watching the officer blow the whistle excitedly, Yin Minghong felt quite complicated.
This man's name is Wan Xisha, he has the military rank of Xie Xuan Xiao, and he is the commander of the 500-line navy sent by Lan Yan.
He is a very strange person.
Lin Haijun has been stationed in the semi-urban area for more than a week. During this week, the Silver Blood Eighty-Eight Chamber of Commerce has come up with strange tricks. They give away fine wine, fish and meat for free, and women are also given away one by one. A few days ago, Yin Minghong came over.
While walking, panting female voices would be heard from time to time around the camp.
Wan Xisha refused at first, and if each family insisted on sending food, he would use Jing Zheng's teachings to send the navy to distribute food in the slums; if each family insisted on sending gold, he would send people to the Jing family in an honest manner.
Every family insisted on sending women, so he changed hands and sent people to Jingyuan.
The Jing family did nothing and became the biggest winners.
He is like a steel soldier with no flaws, completely immune to the corruption of capitalism. However, a silver-blooded businessman is a black-blooded fly that can even bite through a seamless egg. Wan Xisha, you are awesome, you are a saint, but your five
Aren’t all the hundreds of subordinates saints?
Five Hundred Lin Haijun is indeed not a saint, and he has many offspring.
But Wan Xisha has a unique leadership charm. He is extremely strict with the sergeants, but he has the worst food and clothing expenses, and the sergeants are given priority. When they first came to the semi-urban area, the camp had not been built yet and there were not so many tents.
He picked out officers at all levels and let the lower-level sergeants move into the barracks first, while they themselves fed mosquitoes outside.
It is true that Lin Haijun couldn't hold himself back and agreed to the silver-blood merchant's solicitation. However, when he returned, Wan Xisha glared at him and suddenly all his secrets came out like diarrhea.
Even though Silver Blood would try every possible means to corrupt these five hundred people day and night, these five hundred people still practice every day, obey military orders, and are united as if someone has turned on the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow modifier to lock their loyalty.
It was only then that Yin Minghong realized why Lan Yan only sent these five hundred people.
They may not be the most powerful in Linhai, nor the most comprehensive, but they are certainly the most persistent.
Wan Xisha didn't have any talents. He was not good at training and could only blindly scold and beat him. He was also not good at strategy. If he had anything to do, he would either ask Jing Zhengwei or Yin Minghong, or let his adjutant make up his mind. He didn't even
He insisted on doing whatever Jing Zhengwei asked him to do, without even asking for a reason.
He only has two good points.
One of them is to treat all soldiers as family members.
"Gu Xiaosan!" Wan Xisha suddenly shouted, pointed at a sergeant and said: "You, go find a medical officer to treat your leg, and then stay in the camp to practice more today! You were kicked by me, and you still came up with a mission
?”
"But I also want to go out!" the young sergeant said loudly.
"Okay, I'll buy you a chicken drumstick when I come back. Go ahead and go."
"Really? Then I want sauced chicken legs! You know I love sauced chicken drumsticks the most!"
"That's a lot to ask for." Wan Xisha sighed: "Listen up, everyone, load the bullets, put the safety on, don't let it go off!"
"Yes!" Everyone echoed in unison.
"Second Master, you lead the way!"
When Yin Minghong led Lin Haijun, who was armed with live ammunition, out of the camp, many people who were watching immediately ran away like a gust of wind to send messages, some released pigeons, some fired signal guns, and even some set off firecrackers, but Yin Minghong and Quan Wan
Xisha didn't care, and the group moved forward quickly and quickly passed through Xuanzhu County.
Along the way, the patrol guards, patrols, and even ordinary people did not dare to stop them for even a step. Many people even ran to keep up with them, ready to watch the fun.
When it was noticed that Lin Haijun was heading towards the port, there was another warning of mercury flooding the ground. The nearby shops closed at the sound, the gangs retreated far away, and the businessmen on the route even ran out of their houses.
Many people couldn't help but laugh out loud.
They have seen many scenes of ghost vendors being chased away by patrol guards.
But the silver-blood nobles and gangsters were scared to death. This was their first time meeting them.
It turns out that it’s nothing more than that.
…
At the same time, Xuanzhu's third pier and Bingjiu warehouse.
The members of the Li family, who were eagerly waiting for the fleet to return and staring at the horizon in the distance, received the bad news that Lin Haijun was heading here.
"No? Are they coming for us?"
"Someone tipped off the news!?"
"It must be those damn mud-legged people. I told you, you should kill those people immediately after asking them to transport the things, otherwise they will definitely leak it! The reward given by Linhai is very high now, then
Those mud-legged people are unreliable!"
"Maybe he's not here for us, please calm down."
"Don't take chances. The Lin family thought the same way. As a result, their treasury was confiscated by that bastard Yin Minghong and Lin Haijun. The head of the family was killed! It is estimated that they will be expelled from the Silver Blood Society soon!
"
"We must not let those beasts succeed!"
"Quick, let them throw the things into the sea and fish them out later."
"But now the current is strong..."
"I don't care about that anymore!"
More than twenty minutes later, Yin Minghong and Lin Haijun surrounded the Bingjiu warehouse, broke the door lock and entered, only to find that it was empty, not even a human being.
Wan Xisha looked at Yin Minghong.
Yin Minghong thought for a while: "They knew in advance that we were coming, had already moved the things away, and hid themselves."
Yin Minghong sat on the wooden box, crossed his legs, and said thoughtfully: "They are much smarter than the Lin family. The Lin family still wants to reason with us, but they just ran away and the money disappeared..."
"But the person left, but the money cannot. The money must still be nearby. You should divide a team of people and capture all the direct members of the Li family."
"You must remember the president's instructions," Yin Minghong warned: "Don't smash, loot, or burn. If you resist, just kill the person. Don't destroy property. Those are the wealth of the Silver Blood Association."
"clear."
Another half hour later, everyone in the Li family was gathered in the warehouse. The women were in bloom, while the men were silent.
"Second Master, why did you invite me here?" The head of the Li family maintained his attitude as a wealthy businessman and asked with his fists clasped unyieldingly.
"I can't afford to be the second boss of the family, Mr. Li."
"You deserve it. Who doesn't know now that you, Yin Minghong, are Jing Zhengwei's number one lackey, helping the navy to wreak havoc on Xuanzhu. Jing Zhengwei is the first boss, so of course you are the second boss." The head of the Li family said sarcastically.
Yin Minghong smiled bitterly. This 'Second Master' was just what Jing Zhengwei called him before. Later, his position changed, but Jing Zhengwei still called him by this name. For some reason, after the word spread, he became the Jing family.
A veritable second in command.
but.
This feeling is not bad at all.
"Then I will go straight to the point." Yin Minghong said: "Head of the Li family, you also know that the first priority of the Silver Blood Association now is to find a way to meet the 'military spending pool' required by the Linhai Navy, but the liquid assets are 'liquid'
', so the president has given you a period of time to statistically collect your own liquid assets, and then based on your respective asset levels, 40% will be collected from them to fill the 'military pool'."
"After all, it's better to let everyone collect assets by themselves first than to have Lin Haijun come and 'do it yourself', right?"
Wan Xisha shot a cannon in the air in a dignified manner, scaring the children of the Li family to tears.
"It's reasonable and reasonable, the president has already thought about you, right? Moreover, this proposal was approved by all members of the Silver Blood Association, which means that including you, I have also agreed."
The head of the Li family just sneered and kept silent.
"But there are always people who think they can take advantage of loopholes and transfer their property in advance to try to get less money from themselves." Yin Minghong sighed: "Don't you know that Lin Haijun can attack Xuanzhu County in just half a day. If the military expenditure cannot be met,
Chi', will everyone be unlucky then?"
"I don't know if everyone will be unlucky. I only know that Jing Zhengwei will definitely not be unlucky." The head of the Li family said disdainfully.
Yin Minghong ignored his arrogance and continued: "And this kind of behavior not only harms the overall situation, but also harms the small family. If you pay less, others will definitely get more. At that time, each family will pay their share
It will all be announced. When everyone sees it, they will definitely know what means you used to give less money. By then, won’t you be evil to other chambers of commerce? The gain outweighs the loss, don’t you understand?”
"Whether the military expenditure pool can be satisfied is just Jing Zhengwei's opinion." The head of the Li family complained: "Everyone is forced to submit due to Lin Haijun's power, but who doesn't know that Jing Zhengwei just wants to take the opportunity to raise his sickle to harvest?
Us? Do you think we are really willing to be slaughtered just because we have no choice but to agree?"
"In other words, you don't want to eat soft food, so you have to force us to do it?" Yin Minghong sighed: "I received accurate information that the Li family transported a large amount of property to the port late at night. Tell me, what are you going to do with it?
Where is it hidden?"
"Second Master! If you continue to follow Jing Zhengwei, you will only end up in a miserable end!" The old face of the head of the Li family burst out with a fanatical color: "When the navy leaves, Jing Zhengwei will definitely suffer the backlash, and the Silver Blood Society will definitely be defeated.
They will divide the Jing family and eat it! And you will die without a burial place!"
Yin Minghong nodded: "Yes, once Lin Haijun leaves, the Jing family will be finished."
When the head of the Li family heard these words, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Yin Minghong, if you are smart, then-"
"It's a pity that Linjun not only didn't leave, but he's still in front of you."
Yin Minghong stood up and turned his back to them: "Except for children and women, each of them will be given four muskets to bleed from their limbs and no vital points. There will always be someone who tells the truth before he bleeds to death."
boom!
boom!
boom!
The sound of gunshots, cries, and shouts were mixed together. The businessman's bones were made of gold, not as hard as iron. Soon someone told the truth.
The Li family's fleet will be back today. They plan to transport their belongings to the fleet and leave Xuanzhu County as soon as the fleet is replenished. They will come back after the incident here to preserve the family's belongings.
The Li family members responsible for this matter are not here, and I don’t know where they fled to. However, the Li family does not have other warehouses here, so if it is not in the warehouse, it is likely to be dumped nearby.
Just when Yin Minghong was about to say something, Rong Yao poked his head out of the water and said loudly: "There are many boxes down there, all of which are gold and silver. They are all down there!"
Yin Minghong glanced at the head of the Li family, who was lying on the ground bleeding, and said: "Follow the regulations and for families that transfer property privately, the confiscated property will be directly included in the 'military expense pool'. If you don't want to argue,
Then this money belongs to Linhai."
"You...can't die well."
The head of the Li family glared at Yin Minghong resentfully, and Yin Minghong shrugged: "I don't know if I will die or not, but if the medical officer hasn't come yet, with your body, you may die now."
He glanced at the bleeding Li family members and sighed, "If you had told me earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this..."
Speaking of this, Yin Minghong was suddenly stunned.
Jing Zhengwei deliberately gave them a week.
Then they spend a week trying to die.
Then Lin Haijun beat and killed their tribesmen.
So, wouldn’t the next factory replacement plan reduce a lot of resistance?
You must know that those who control the power of factories are often the clan members of these chambers of commerce. Jing Zhengwei has a lot of scruples in eradicating members of his own clan, so it is naturally more difficult to attack clan members of other clans, unless they take the initiative...
"Haha! I paid a large amount of money again! Well done to the second master!"
Wan Xisha patted Yin Minghong's shoulder excitedly, then turned to scold the sergeant: "Be careful, this is General Lan's military expenditure. If it breaks, I'll take it from you!"
"yes!"
Yin Minghong smiled and said: "Don't be so strict. They must have damaged a lot of things by throwing them into the water. If you damage them any more, it will only be a drop in the bucket."
"You can't say that. This is the military expenditure that General Lan needs." Wan Xisha said with a smile: "If you can have more, it's better to have more. Maybe General Lan is just this little behind?"
The second advantage of Wanxisha.
It's loyalty.
Yin Minghong had never seen Lan Yan before, so he didn't know what kind of charm Lan Yan had that could make this honest and honest officer lose his heart.
Yin Minghong only knew that this man was loyal to Lan Yan wholeheartedly.
Lan Yan asked him to obey Jing Zhengwei's orders, so he did.
Jing Zhengwei threatened the Silver Blood Association with military expenditures, and he cooperated throughout the process.
In order to keep his men in combat and not be seduced by the outside world, he promised the five hundred sergeants that he would not take any of the rewards afterward and would give them all to everyone. He only asked for one thing - everyone should obey the order and transport the generals back at their own expense.
Linhai.
He couldn't promise that Lan Yan would reward them.
The only thing he can make his own decisions is his own money.
But Wanxisha's little money is nothing compared to the huge military expenditure.
However, so far, Yin Minghong has never seen any sergeant escape with property.
It stands to reason that Yin Minghong should hate such foolish and loyal officers. The more loyal they are to careerists, the more they hinder the development of Bai Ye. It is precisely because there are many foolish and loyal people in the world that the Huiyao Dynasty can last for more than two thousand years.
Year.
"Hey, Second Boss, it's almost noon, come and have dinner with us!"
Wan Xisha said hello, scratched his head and said, "We are eating sauced chicken legs for lunch today! But I don't know if there are that many chickens in Xuanzhu County... but I also like to eat chicken butts."
Yin Minghong glanced at him.
On the battlefield, they would definitely be enemies fighting each other.
At other times, they would at least have had a cunning relationship.
but now.
"Chicken legs, I like to eat them baked with honey." Yin Minghong said with a smile.
When it comes to relationships, time is of the essence. It doesn't matter if you get to know them too early or too late.
