"White Waves."
"The little one is here."
"Are you aware of the situation in the industrial park?"
"some."
"Are there enough manpower?"
"To tell you my lord, we barely have enough manpower. We lost some before, and I have asked the people below to replace them all within this month. It's just that my personal strength still needs some time to develop." Bai Lang still didn't understand what Feng Mingyuan was going to say. , just following along and answering.
Feng Mingyuan only raised his head at this time, the expression on his face tightened, and he didn't know what it meant.
"Before Bai Lang, you said that the knife studio could handle matters for me that were inconvenient for me to attend. Even if you die, you will have no regrets. Do you still remember this?"
"If you reply to your Majesty, my subordinates will remember it and never dare to forget it."
"Very good. Please read this order from Yuzhong first." As he said this, Feng Mingyuan motioned to Zhou Zhonghao beside him to hand a red-sealed letter into Bai Lang's hand.
Bailang took it with both hands, then opened the envelope and read it carefully and quickly. I thought to myself, "I see."
The letter was not signed by Yuzhong Prefecture, but by Yuzhong Military Palace, and it had a large seal from the Yamen of the Ministry of War in the capital. The content is not complicated. Simply put, Yongchuan City has become an important town within the jurisdiction of Yuzhong Prefecture due to its special waterway advantages and new industrial parks, so it will be guarded by an army of troops from Yuzhong Military Prefecture. And there is a special sentence: "Everything focuses on the stable output of the industrial park."
That's it. It doesn't seem to be anything special, but if you read the last sentence together, you can get a different flavor from it.
What does "focusing on stable output" mean? And who should measure which is "heavy" and which is "light"? Although Bai Lang didn't know clearly, he knew that it was probably not Feng Mingyuan who had the final say. If this is the reason, it would be hard to say where the industrial park will belong if we really want to plan it.
After thinking about this, Bai Lang understood why Feng Mingyuan hurriedly summoned him alone today and said what he said before.
"finish watching?"
"As far as I'm concerned, sir, I've finished reading."
"Then do you understand the meaning of this?" Feng Mingyuan spoke, his eyes falling on Bai Lang with a sense of scrutiny. The same is true for Zhou Zhonghao next to him.
Bailang understood that this was what he meant by taking the exam. So he paused for a while and then said: "Sir, this order seems to be quite satisfactory, but in fact it hides a hidden danger. If the industrial park is not handled well, it will easily change hands. So I thought that the master meant We should keep an eye on the industrial park and prevent it from being pried away."
Feng Mingyuan nodded to express satisfaction, but there was still no smile on his face and said, "Are you confident?"
"Young ones don't dare to speak loudly to disrupt the arrangements of the adults. I don't have the slightest confidence in facing an army."
"Hmph, Liu Jianyu doesn't dare to rob openly. There will be subsequent power erosion, just like the time when Yuzhong sent someone to replace your Dongcheng Swordsmanship Hall. Do you have confidence?" Feng Mingyuan said in a bad tone. . He didn't want to pin his hopes on a mere chamber pot that he didn't think highly of at all. But the situation is stronger than the people. As soon as Liu Jianyu arrives, the largest force in Yongchuan City will immediately change from his city lord's palace to Liu Jianyu's Jade Left Army.
In other words, Feng Mingyuan will immediately lose absolute control over Yongchuan City, turning it into a subtle pattern full of variables. Especially Liu Jianyu and Feng Mingyuan who came here were not from the same group.
Feng Mingyuan is a typical child of a big family, and he is an old-school family. He follows the ruling system that has always existed from the fairyland to the upper state and then to the lower state. He has always reaped huge benefits from it, and the continuation and prosperity of the family have also been affected. It comes from this ruling system.
Liu Jianyu, on the other hand, is a member of an emerging family like Russell Chen, the head of the Yongchuan City Yamen. These families were trapped in the Hong Dynasty and had been carved up by the old-school families early on. When it was their turn, they could only seek the right to speak in the temple without any real benefits in terms of resources. What I want to think about is how to break this deadlock.
Just like the concept of "taking the law as the criterion" will become more and more respected in the temple, so that even the royal family will find it difficult to curb the spread of this trend. This is the method of the emerging families, and now the embryonic trend of the trend can already be seen, and the old school is also struggling for this and even suffers a lot.
Not to mention, the Feng family where Feng Mingyuan lives has been severely tricked recently and suffered a big loss in the temple. Otherwise, how could Feng Mingyuan, a young man who had managed to achieve some dazzling achievements in Yongchuan City, be forced into this situation?
Therefore, there is no possibility that Feng Mingyuan and Liu Jianyu will be good to each other. After Liu Jianyu came to Yongchuan City, even if he would not overtly suppress the city lord's palace, it was absolutely possible to privately block the power of the city lord's palace and collude with outside forces to invade and occupy it. Feng Mingyuan was even sure that it would definitely happen.
Now Feng Mingyuan has asked for help from his family, hoping to receive reinforcements. But the family has been having a hard time recently, and it is impossible to find the strength to worry about Feng Mingyuan in a short time.
So Feng Mingyuan could only find a way by himself. One of the ways he could think of was to let Bailang stand up and fight to the end. Not to mention blocking everything, at least try to delay as much time as possible.
Bailang knew in his heart that it was time for his "chamber pot" to be taken out to block the knife again. But being unwilling does not mean that he has the right to refuse. He could only say: "This way, my subordinates will have the confidence to try their best!"
"Bai Lang, I know very well how difficult this matter is for you. But you proposed the industrial park, and you know best how much role it can play in the current situation of intense fighting in the south. For me, there is no room for error. !
Therefore, this time I will give you a batch of ordnance, and you can arrange and use it yourself. In addition, Zhou Zhonghao will take you to the arsenal and alchemy room of the City Lord's Mansion to get some for emergencies. You have a heavy responsibility this time, and I hope you can increase your combat power in the near future.
Like you said, do your best. "
"Yes! The little one will do his best to live up to the high expectations of adults!"
Although Bai Lang answered simply and neatly, he was already cursing in his heart. He was now sure that Feng Mingyuan was using him and his knife shop as consumables, without considering the consequences at all. Maybe I have considered that the consequence is to clean up Bailang and this group of people.
The key is the "ordnance" mentioned by Feng Mingyuan and the sentence "you arrange to use it yourself" added later. This is simply a reminder.
Whoever gets the weapons can use them? If that thing messes up, the nine tribes will be punished! Do you expect Feng Mingyuan to come forward to protect him afterwards? Bailang thought that was naive.
Sure enough, for a chamber pot, no matter how easy it is to use, it is just a chamber pot. There is no psychological burden on people to change a chamber pot. Bailang thought in his heart.
Feng Mingyuan was quite satisfied with Bai Lang's answer. He waved his hand and asked Zhou Zhonghao to take Bai Lang down. Then he continued to lean down and write and draw on the map on the table.
