Unlike the people in Yongchuan City who were panicking, the city lord's mansion was actually peaceful.
In the past, the city owner Feng Mingyuan would have enjoyed this kind of leisure. At that time, he could go boating and fishing on the long water outside the city, or drink and admire flowers in the garden of the mansion, or change his outfit and go to the flower house to listen to music and make music.
But now, the leisure time in the city lord's mansion made Feng Mingyuan feel aggrieved and unwilling. There was even a sense of powerlessness that everything was quickly out of his control and he was powerless.
"What? Is something wrong?"
Although he was still in the garden, Feng Mingyuan's face was cold, and he didn't have much of a good look towards Zhou Zhonghao who walked in in a hurry.
"Sir, there is news from the industrial park."
"Industrial park? Bailang is coming?"
"No, Bai Lang didn't come. He was being stared at and couldn't come, so he sent someone to bring news about the incident in the military camp this morning."
Feng Mingyuan sat upright from his chair after hearing this. He signaled Zhou Zhonghao to continue.
"Sir, the Ministry of War Yamen received a promotion notice this morning. It's the same as the news we heard before. Liu Jianyu was promoted on the spot with this advantage because he obviously controlled the industrial park. He was promoted to two levels in a row. General Sanyu. His 3,000 troops also jumped to more than 9,000. Among them, the Ministry of War Yamen allowed him to expand the number to 6,000 on his own, and the rest were dispatched by the Ministry of War Yamen.
And this promotion order is not only for Liu Jianyu, but also for everyone under his command. So Bailang's side also moved up two levels.
However, although Bailang seemed to obey Liu Jianyu's words, Liu Jianyu might have discovered some clues, so he never trusted Bailang. Once the promotion order came, there was no need to hide it. Pretending to help Bailang increase his manpower by 300 people, he actually incorporated the Guards Battalion into the industrial park.
Construction of a garrison camp is now underway in the industrial park, and Yamen Luo Chen has sent manpower to cooperate. Bailang bluntly said that he had nothing to do about it. "
boom!
Feng Mingyuan swept the tea cup on the stone table to the ground and smashed it to pieces. Obviously this bad news once again made Feng Mingyuan's already gloomy mood even worse.
"Liu Jianyu is so bold! Is he going to swallow up the entire industrial park?!"
"Sir, it is not difficult to guess Liu Jianyu's thoughts. He should hope to continue to rely on the increasingly important role of the industrial park to gain a foothold in Yongchuan City. As long as he can ensure that the ordnance output of the industrial park continues, or continues to grow slowly, Then he can continue to accumulate credit without any effort. It can be regarded as a gain without any capital.
In the past, I was worried about the Feng family behind you, sir, so I restrained myself and let Bailang take the lead. Now that his strength has increased dramatically and the situation has continued to deteriorate, Liu Jianyu's ambitions have naturally grown due to the combination of factors from both sides. It was even deliberately used to test the attitude of the adults and the Feng family behind the adults.
If things go on like this, I'm afraid it will become more and more rampant. "
Feng Mingyuan stood up from the chair. After smashing a set of tea cups, my mood seemed to calm down again.
"Liu Jianyu is no different from those self-righteous fools in the army. He only stares at himself and the Guochao. He feels that the world is the right and wrong of the Guochao. He completely forgets that the Guochao is just a subordinate state. Something is really going to happen. If you say it yourself, it counts?
Do you really think that the temple structure that has been built over hundreds of years can be maintained by a long-established family like ours for generations? Do you really think it depends on luck and a mouth?
Hum hum, they are just a bunch of idiots with simple minds and narrow vision. He actually wanted to take advantage of the civil war in the country and use force to separate the family's control over the existing resources. Are you unwilling to be a tool and want to be the master?
We don’t look at history and we don’t learn lessons. Every time Yunyan Barbarian attacked these warriors, they would be inexplicably excited, and they would do the same thing. But the end result is the same, just annihilated by flying ashes. Only aristocratic families can survive forever! "
Even though he said this, Feng Mingyuan was still very angry. Because Liu Jianyu is taking away his credit by doing this, and is branding the existence of the industrial park with Liu Jianyu's name. But before that, all the credit was his. It feels like someone is inserting chopsticks into the bowl after eating something halfway.
Zhou Zhonghao remained silent. He knew very well that Liu Jianyu dared to do this, but Feng Mingyuan and the Feng family did not dare to respond. They could not even file a complaint in the temple as before. Because ever since Black Tiger General Zhao Panshan was killed in battle and Pengshan Pass fell, the atmosphere in the temple has completely shifted towards the military. The dispute between the old and new members of the aristocratic family had to cease under this trend. Anyone who dared to file a complaint would cause trouble for the army. This is bad luck for being labeled.
Perhaps because he had found a good step for himself in his heart, the gloom and anger on Feng Mingyuan's face slowly melted away. But there was still no smile.
"Can you still believe Bai Lang now?" Feng Mingyuan rubbed his forehead. The recent changes in the situation have made everything around him uncertain. Bailang, who used to feel that he had been eaten to death, now seems to be difficult to control effectively.
The expression on Zhou Zhonghao's face also became a bit ugly. After all, he had strongly recommended Bailang to Feng Mingyuan before. Now it's hard to say whether what he did was right or wrong.
"Returning to your lord, Bai Lang has an extremely smart mind, and the city also has one, and he is growing very fast. In the past, my subordinates thought that he was no different from the swordsmen in other sword halls, and even had a slight lack of character. But now it seems that he is a little bit different. He was mistaken. He should be playing a balancing act between us and Liu Jianyu, riding on the wall to get both sides. Although it is harmless to us on the surface, in fact he has a treacherous mind.
Now the caller probably understands that the industrial park is in danger of falling out of Liu Jianyu's control due to the entry of Liu Jianyu's personal guards. He hopes that we can lend a hand and put pressure on Liu Jianyu from the side, forcing Liu Jianyu to restrain his actions or directly conflict with us.
In the final analysis, it should still be for himself.
This person can use it, but he can't fully trust it. "
Feng Mingyuan walked outside the pavilion, picked a leaf and played with it in his hand. After a moment of silence, he said: "We can no longer look at Bai Lang as a knife master. This person may be much smarter than we thought before. , has many means. Whether it is a swordsmanship or a swordsmanship, including his current super-grade deputy general, they should be nothing more than his steps. There is no loyalty in this person's eyes, and he only cares about interests. Just relying on The handle doesn't seem to be enough to make him obey orders.
In Bailang's eyes, the biggest benefit now should be the industrial park, right? It seems that he is not willing to let go of the output of ordnance and the associated benefits. Then there will inevitably be an irreconcilable conflict between him and Liu Jianyu.
In this case, let's add a fire to the fire, so that the flame that will burn sooner or later will burn faster and bigger! "
As Feng Mingyuan spoke, he crushed the leaves he was playing with into pieces.
