Meng Neng, Judicial Committee Office.
Banbra is wearing a monocle and staring at the computer in my office.
We don’t know how he played with that thing. Anyway, a form appeared in the blink of an eye, and then he started to input data, and finally, the results were automatically calculated.
"Master!"
In the early morning, Banbula finally settled the account and said to me with a surprised look on his face: "What is the background of this West Asian man? As soon as he took action, he gave us Meng Neng County's population a stable supply of food for a whole year!"
"A whole year!"
I looked at Banbula's excited expression, but in my heart I felt that this number was extremely embarrassing.
One year!
It’s still a number that if you dare to glare at people, you will be hungry next year.
I leaned on the sofa, crossed my fingers on my stomach and looked at the ceiling...
"Master, why are you unhappy?"
Can I be happy?
"How is the private transportation capacity?"
Faced with this problem, Banbula showed the basic qualities that a civil servant should have: "Master, this trick of yours is really good!"
"Since you added up the grain transportation prices and grain costs in various regions, added a little profit, and started to purchase military grain from the private sector at this price, there have been several large-scale grain transportation transactions in the market."
"This price is just right. If those merchants transport grain to Meneng, they will lose money if they transport less. It is better to resell it locally. Only after accumulating a certain amount, can you earn more than that here?" Even with slightly higher profits in the market, we don’t have to spend a lot of money.”
"Master, what's your idea?"
I smiled and replied: "Isn't this even necessary?"
You don’t need to be a farmer in China to do this. As long as you have relatives in the countryside, you will know everything after having a few meals together!
Those grain dealers were running from village to village like they were holding butcher's knives. If they overpriced the grain stations, the grain stations would not work, and if the prices were low, the farmers would not work. It is this neck-stuck skill they have practiced for so many years.
"Have you finished the food?"
"Think about the weapons and ammunition we have in hand. Anyone who is rich will be transported by force when the tanks arrive in a few days."
tank.
These two words seemed to have completely penetrated into Banbula's ears, and he asked excitedly: "Do we have a tank?"
"Old Soviet style, I don't know the specific model yet. If the West Asians have some conscience, they should use some of our artillery shells. Otherwise, it's hard to find old-caliber artillery shells."
Banbula pondered for a long time. After raising his eyes and looking at me again, he closed his mouth and reached out to type on the computer.
I looked at his expression and almost laughed out loud: "Ask me, don't hold it back for a while."
"To transport so much equipment to Mengmao, but not a word about food, sir, is there going to be a war in Mengmao?"
I responded: "There shouldn't be a fight, but some people will scare us."
"Hey, what do you think the old falcon would do if he finds out that a young martial arts man appears in Meng Neng?"
Banbula, who was a police chief, knew the world very well and said directly: "If it were in the past, I'm afraid Lao Yaoying would have had a few words with the person as a friend. No matter how bad the situation was, he wouldn't have broken it off in person."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because at that time, you were the one carrying the flag for Menneng Jianghu. Why would he be at odds with others? Even if he kills people, the benefits won't fall into his own pocket."
I asked again: "What now?"
"How could it be now..." Banbula laughed: "Now one phone call from Old Yao Ying, and even the big brother Jianghu has to be handcuffed. The interests are all his own, so what nonsense do you have to say."
I looked at him and said without looking away, "That's the truth."
"Then when you send people to Meng Neng, it's like leaving a message to us, clearly stating the price, and telling us that in the future, the Wa State will be gone, and it will be changed to a province. If you want to continue to live in the world, you have to be obedient, and you have to tell us in detail. clear."
"That's it. I might turn around and use you as a urine jar. It's for emergency use when you're using it, but it's dirty when you're not using it."
"Think about it, can I do it?"
Banbula shook his head: "That can't be done."
"If I don't do it, how will the old ladies react?"
"Oh, I know!" Banbula deliberately pretended to suddenly realize it after my reminder: "She is worried that she can't find an excuse to start a war. This is just right!"
"Think about it again, if we really get into a fight and let me fight, what can I do? In other words, what are they afraid of me doing?"
Banbula stopped pretending, stood up and pointed at the map and said: "Reverse push for Bangkham, collude with Lin Minxian, let the army of Eastern Shan State go straight into Meng Neng to fight against Myanmar."
"right!"
"They're afraid I'll flip the table!"
"Always remember, the more a person pretends to be in front of you, the less he has anything."
"Aren't those doctors pretending to be tough here? This shows that they are afraid!"
"If you don't have this fear, why would you send someone to talk to me? I'll just send you a fax and I'll kill you if you don't surrender."
"I guess they are just showing off their power outside Mengmao. The invasion of the city is over. Basically, they go to your house with a group of people with dragons and tigers to demand debts. In fact, they don't want to smash your house and kill a few people. In the end, The purpose is still the same as asking for money.”
Banbula's lips trembled as he said, "You want to give these tattooed people..."
"Select the shrimp threads for them!"
"Let these little brats know clearly how they should talk to me when they walk into this office from now on."
Having said that, I turned on the TV.
On the TV, "News" is playing.
"The situation in Wa State is stabilizing, and the Eastern Shan State Army has no longer attacked Bangkang. However, there are still a lot of security problems in some areas, which are probably related to the harm of refugees caused by the war."
"According to reports from frontline reporters, an armed murder occurred in the Menneng area last night. Fortunately, the attacker escaped and was not hit by a firearm. According to the Menneng police response, the attacker pretended to be a Red Cross medical aid. He entered Menneng County and killed people at night, which is quite similar to the 'legendary killer' in the movie."
"Here, as a journalist, I reiterate that all of us are looking forward to the war ending soon, which will give the government enough time to clean up the damaged mountains and rivers, and keep this kind of 'legendary' murder away from the ordinary people. .”
When Banbra watched the subtitles appear on the TV screen, his eyes seemed to be pierced into them and he couldn't pull them out at all.
But I had already prepared for this battle, but at that time everyone thought I was doing it to celebrate the New Year...
I exempted all the second-hand dealers who squandered supplies during the New Year from paying taxes. It seemed like they made a profit, but in fact, it was to enrich Meng Neng's reserves of supplies. Although the defense at that time was Eastern Shan State, even if it was used on the Burmese army, wouldn't it still be used?
I also changed the purchase price of military rations, and took advantage of the momentum of merchants around me to deliver supplies to Meng Neng to purchase grains on a large scale, even though the West Asians had not sent me donated old grains at that time.
Maybe there are people in this world who really believe in the principle of "If you have the will, don't be afraid of late", but I am more willing to believe that "the stupid bird flies first" as the rule.
And I firmly believe that hard work can make up for weakness. (End of chapter)
