Chapter 1070Chapter [-] Who does the shadow go to?

Autumn turns to winter, and the weather starts to get colder. On the plains, business travelers come and go in waves.

On the land in the southwest, in the area managed by the Huaxia People's Government, workshops near several big cities began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.Simple or complex post station nodes also began to prosper as business travelers came and went, and the surrounding villages began to form more obvious crowd gathering areas relying on roads.

The riots or grand gatherings that took place in Chengdu in July and August brought a batch of huge business orders to the Southwest.After seeing the hustle and bustle of Chengdu, the private traders chose to conduct simple money and goods transactions, while the representatives of various warlords and powerful clan forces who came to watch the ceremony obtained a larger-scale business plan with the Huaxia Army. In addition to the first batch of excellent military materials, there are also a large number of technology transfer agreements, which will be carried out successively in the next year or two.

For these warlords and powerful clan forces, the two types of transactions have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you choose to buy artillery, guns, and steel knives from the Huaxia Army, you can buy a little bit, but the advantage is that you can use it immediately.If you choose technology transfer, Huaxia Army needs to send skilled workers to be teachers. From the structure of the workshop to the operation and management of the assembly line, after cultivating a whole set of talents, the price charged by Huaxia Army is high and it takes a long time, but the advantage is that you will have your own in the future. Things, no longer worry about fighting against the Huaxia Army.

At this time, in the outside world, the Wu Dynasty existed in name only and soon disintegrated, and every emerging warlord and force was still in a sensitive adjustment and adaptation period.Some realized that the Wu Dynasty could no longer control their own military law and began to dominate their own destiny, some famous families began to come from behind the scenes to the front stage, and the famous children with the world in mind were ready to take their own responsibilities, and people who had experienced countless sufferings during the war , then began to shout "the princes and generals have a kindness". During this period, officials in some places are still waiting for the return of the emperor of the Wu Dynasty, but it will take time for who is shouting slogans and who is speaking the truth. be verified.

With such a chaotic situation and complicated transition, it is impossible to say that whoever cannot guarantee the food of the people under his rule will raise his sword and start begging for food from the surrounding area.Therefore, first buying a batch of knives, guns and artillery produced in the Southwest is the most reliable guarantee for oneself to survive in this troubled world-of course, this is also the usual rhetoric of the Huaxia Army's affairs officers when promoting products.

Since the Southwest has just experienced war, materials and production lines are very tight, and weapons orders can only be made on a first-come, first-served basis. Of course, those who can provide a large amount of weapon materials and exchange metal for artillery can get a little priority.

Among them, Liu Guangshi, who had a wide range of friends and ambitions, was the first major customer of the Huaxia Army, and ordered the largest batch of military supplies from the Huaxia Army with a large amount of iron, copper, grain, ore, etc.After the entire order was negotiated and reported, even Ning Yi, who was used to seeing the big world and just took over the chairmanship at the August Congress, couldn't help but exclaimed: "Bright and atmospheric, Liu Guangshi wants to be popular, so he should When the boss..."

In the words, he wished to give him the title of boss, and exchange more orders.

Of course, the orders are indeed enough. Since Liu Guangshi went down, a series of orders and intentions mainly focused on the military industry, which is enough for the Huaxia Army to meet the current production plan in two years.

In addition to materials, there are various methods of technology transfer. Some of them invite technicians from the Huaxia Army to go there. The problem with this method is that the supporting facilities are not enough, and all personnel have to be trained from scratch, which takes longer.Some of them recruit reliable personnel locally or directly send their children to Chengdu, and send them to the factory for training according to the contract. After spending some time on the road, the speed of becoming a talent is faster, and some want to recruit and train locally in Chengdu before taking them away. The Huaxia Army does not guarantee that they will follow after they finish their studies...

Of course, the more humanized and relatively complicated training methods, the higher the fees.This is also a very reasonable thing.

Liu Guangshi also bought several of the most expensive and key military technologies. At least in terms of the contract, at this time, he will completely copy the entire set of military industries of the Huaxia Army, except rockets.Although such an order will also empty out his belongings, within a few years, all the warlords around him will definitely look forward to him, that is, Ning Yi, after seeing a group of envoys including Yan Daolun and Yu Hezhong When they were members of the group, they all had very warm smiles.

This kind of business has come and gone. Since September, there has been an endless stream of vehicles and boats on the water and land commercial road from Chengdu to Jiange. The rugged mountain roads and plank roads near Jiange have been carefully widened and reinforced twice by the engineers of the Huaxia Army. .As for the more prosperous waterway in Chuchuan, ships of all sizes on the Jialing River come and go, and various shipyards have sped up their work.

All the forces in the vicinity are busy transporting materials to the southwest. The artillery can only be transported out first when the things arrive first. After the artillery is transported out, whether it is to seek or prevent thieves, they can take the lead. —— Huaxia Military Affairs Officer What they said is also reasonable, and no one will find it ridiculous.Of course I am not a lunatic, but who knows if the person next door will suddenly go crazy. Now that the emperor doesn't care about anything, the only thing everyone can believe is the sword, gun and stick in his hand.

The business on the surface is extremely prosperous, and the black market business and smuggling in the dark are also gradually rising.Even if it is not an official caravan, if some new guns can be transported from the southwest, Dai Mengwei and others who cannot do business directly with the Huaxia Army are willing to buy them, and even transport them to Lin'an to sell to Wu Qimei. Earn more——Maybe, because there is not enough time for them to go back and forth to Lin'an, so everyone still doesn't know what Wu Qimei's reputation is.

The huge prosperity brought huge impact and chaos, so that since August, Ning Yi has been sitting in Chengdu, personally suppressing the whole situation and slowly getting on the right track, while the Huaxia Army has severely cleaned up several batches of officials .

After the big victory, they were rewarded for meritorious deeds, and now they suddenly became the center of the whole world, and they were sought after and tempted by all kinds of people. This is the first group of people who started to reach out.As Ning Yi said in the previous meeting, he made them a model of strict treatment, ranging from shooting to imprisonment, and the positions of all offenders were all sorted out to the end.

In this way, until mid-December, Ning Yi temporarily let go of Chengdu, which was basically on the right track and could operate on its own under the control of officials.Back to Zhangcun on December [-]th, ready to spend the new year with my family.

The carriage crosses the road in the field.There is very little snow in the southwest in winter, but the temperature has dropped. Ning Yi sat in the car and felt tired when he was free.

Recently, he has a lot of thoughts about "why come here", because the pace of work is getting closer and closer to the rhythm of the previous life, meetings, inspections, conversations, weighing people's hearts... every day.The situation in Chengdu is uncertain. Except for Xigua, other family members are not easy to come here, and he is getting more and more powerful, and his work style has always been domineering. He may be meticulous in leading the team during the early days. Once he is on the right track, he belongs to that kind of "You don't need to understand me, just look up to me." Occasionally, I can't help but feel that there is no difference between the recent life and the previous life.

It was this afternoon when I got home.At this time, Zhangcun’s school hadn’t had winter vacation yet, and several children in the family, including Yun Zhu, Jin’er, and the others were still in school. When they got off the car at the gate of the yard, they saw a figure waving on the hillside not far away, but it was These days, Hongti, who has been protecting the safety of Zhangcun, is wearing a military uniform with camouflage. Even if she is far away, she can still see the smile on that face. Ning Yi waved her hand exaggeratedly, and then Signed her to come quickly.

Hong Ti pointed to the yard: You go first.

There was no one in the courtyard outside, but when I entered the courtyard inside, I saw two figures sitting at a small table choosing vegetables.Su Tan'er was wearing a dress with red stripes and a white background, with a red cloak on her back, and her hair was tied into a long ponytail. The girl's dress seemed a little weird at first glance. Ning Yi thought about it, but it was a lot Years ago, after he woke up from a coma, the first time he met the runaway wife, she changed her dress.

At that time, she was going to meet this strange husband for the first time. On the one hand, she wanted to give him a bad impression, and on the other hand, she also planned to make peace, so she was quite particular about her attire, and she probably chose a lot of time.Perhaps it is also because of this, she still remembers this outfit to this day.

Xiaochan who was sitting at the stone table had already seen him and waved her hand. Tan'er looked sideways, with a smile on her face: "How is it?" Over the years, a bit of introverted wisdom and maturity have been added to the eyebrows. Sitting sideways at this time, with long braids hanging down, she has a bit of a girlish look.Ning Yi looked at her with a smile.

"Looks like it's fading, but it's still there."

"Sir, do you still remember this?"

"Can't forget."

"I almost forgot about it earlier. When I escaped from Jiangning, I brought this suit on purpose. I kept it in the closet and recently took it out to dry. This red cloak, which I used to like the most, is now a little fluffy. "

Ning Yi smiled: "I heard that you are wearing a red cloak recently, which is almost frightening. Everyone who kills you thinks you are a blood bodhisattva."

What he was referring to was the riots that occurred in Zhangcun in July and August. At that time, a group of people rushed over excitedly and said they were going to attack Ning Rentu's family and children. Seeing Tan'er's cold face.The punishment here has always been top-notch, as long as it caused serious injuries to people, it would be shot, and if it caused property damage, it would be taken to the mine and locked up with the Jurchen coolies, and money was not accepted for redemption. Most of these people had to do It is possible to release the coolies in the mines for more than ten years, and more may die due to various accidents during this period.

This is the result of Ning Yi's persuasion.Tan'er has a good mind and is more open-minded than other women in many ideas, but she is no better than a simple landlady in dealing with family matters.It was not enough for a group of people to make trouble for her husband in Chengdu, but they also came here to try to kill or abduct the children in the family. According to her original intention, anyone with such thoughts should be Lingji.

Because of this, during that time, she personally intervened in every incident that happened.Ning Yi asked to follow the law, so she asked to be punished according to the terms of the law.

At the end of July, many people in the green forest were still carnivaling. They were very busy with the Chengdu incident, and most of the people who went to Zhangcun were impassioned.In August, the military parade was over, and the congress was held, and the details of Zhangcun's affairs were only passed on. Those who really ran over and made a move did not end well.

As for the woman who appeared on the scene every time, she was described vividly in the rumors. Everyone said that this was the one named "Blood Bodhisattva" among Ning Yi's wives, who killed people in Luliang Mountain. Ruma, Lin Zongwu is her defeated general, but after getting married, she doesn't make many moves. Those who went to Zhang Village this time have all met the fate of this great master.

In the past, few people in the Jianghu knew about the red tidy, but Zhuji's propaganda often bypassed her. Therefore, the great masters that everyone cares about for more than ten years are usually only the decent "iron arm" Zhou Tong and the villain "Chuan Lin" "North leg" Lin Zongwu, and the indescribable great master Ning Rentu.This time, the incident in Zhangcun caused a lot of uproar, and someone dug it out from the depths of memory, giving Hongti a wave of presence.

Speaking of this matter, Tan'er's brows also flashed a little evil, and then she smiled: "I discussed it with Sister Tizi, and I will be given the nickname 'Blood Bodhisattva' in the future, and she will use another .”

"For what?"

"Blood grapes." Xiao Chan hurriedly said.

"..."

Tan'er chuckled, Ning Yi was stunned for a while, sat down next to her, hugged Xiao Chan and kissed her hard on the face: "...or... quite cute, so that's the decision. A blood bodhisattva in our family , a blood grape, the grape sounds like a follower, but in fact the martial arts are the highest, that's okay."

After the three grinningly arranged the one with the highest martial arts but the most easy-going temperament in the family, Ning Yi began to ask about the situation of a group of children in the family.

From Ningji to Ningji, Yunzhu's eldest daughter, Wenwen, is 12 years old. Wenjing loves to read, and she looks like a copy of her mother when she smiles.Ning He's personality is not very strong. At nine years old, he looks like an ordinary fool. Without external pressure, he didn't even show his mother Hong Ti's talent in martial arts, and his grades were only average. , maybe Hong Ti, who lived in the peaceful years, would not become the best martial artist in the world, and Ning Yi actually didn't intend to squeeze his potential too much.

Ning Ke, who is the same age as Ning He, maintains her usual lively and helpful character. She has the most friends and the best popularity in the school. She worries about this and that every day, and acts as entertainment in the school. The committee members and life committee members are just keen on other people's affairs and always make their homework fall behind, which makes Jin'er very worried.Jin'er has always advertised herself as selfish, and couldn't figure out why her daughter was always being so stupid.

Of course, Ning Yi thinks about it in private, but he can understand a little bit.If Jin'er hadn't been sold because her family was poor and hadn't experienced so many ups and downs when she was a child, then maybe Ning Ke today would be another look of her.

Seven-year-old Ning Shuang and Ning Ning entered the first grade this year. The two children who grew up like conjoined twins have always been close.Watermelon's daughter, Ning Ning, is very talented in martial arts, but as a girl, she loves swords and not knives. This time made Watermelon quite distressed, but think about it. When I was a child, I learned big swords, and I was brainwashed to say that "the chest hair is the big one." "Hero" is also because I met an unreliable father, and I was relieved about it. Besides her martial arts talent, Ning Ning's academic performance is also good, and she recites ancient poems one by one, which makes Xigua quite happy , my daughter is not an idiot, neither am I, I was spoiled by my unreliable father...

The only shortcoming of Ning Ning, who is both civil and military, is that she doesn't talk much. As her name suggests, she likes to be quiet. As the second daughter of Yunzhu, Ning Shuang is often the spokesperson between the two. A little more than her, still less than others.This may be because I have had suitable friends since I was a child, so I don't need to talk too much.

The only accident was that recently Ning Ning fell on the way home. As a beautiful and quiet little girl, she broke one of her front teeth.She didn't say anything, but she was actually very concerned about it.

"You will see her later, but don't laugh at her front teeth. Otherwise she will cry." Tan'er warned, thinking that Ning Yi might do such a thing.

"Don't worry, I'm just at work, I won't laugh." Ning Yi said and laughed, thinking that this kind of thing is really a replica of Watermelon.Broke off the front tooth in a serious way...

In addition to these small ones, Ning Ji's recent situation is actually worrying.Maybe it's because he went to the battlefield too early and saw life and death, so his mood has never been stable. Of course, he is skilled in martial arts, good-looking, and is popular among a group of younger brothers and sisters, but these days his temperament I have been turning from extroversion to introversion all the time, especially after October, sometimes I would sit on the roof in a daze, for a long time at a time, and even sigh, I don’t know what he was sighing about, and then I started looking for books to read.

Xiao Chan was terrified when she saw it, Xiao Ji actually started to read, and always felt that he didn't know if he was sick, or one day he would suddenly escape into Buddhism and become a monk.

Of course, apart from these abnormal phenomena, his practice in martial arts has not been delayed. He can even easily adapt to some special operations exercises in the army and espionage exercises in Zhuji. Hong Ti and Xigua also said that he will come to Japan The achievements are limitless.

"This is the second term of middle school. The whole person is talking about the same thing. In the future, Wenwen, Ning He, and Ning Ke will be the same. At this age, children can't control themselves. They have a lot of thoughts. When they are seventeen or eighteen years old It will get better slowly." Ning Yi comforted Xiao Chan with an educator attitude of "no one knows education better than me".

In fact, he understood in his heart that Ning Ji cared about the bigger world and the bigger rivers and lakes. If he couldn't keep it, maybe he could only let him go for a walk when he was seventeen or eighteen years old. Of course, if It would be better if he didn't want to leave after the second term.The most important thing now is to use the word "drag" to ask Hong Ti Watermelon to give him more problems and tell him that it is still too early for him to go out.

"But Ning Xi wasn't like this back then..." Xiao Chan frowned.

"Ning Xi is stupid."

Ning Yi talked nonsense, and then hit Tan'er on the hand: "Don't say that about him."

After a few people finished talking about the children, Hongti also came in. Ning Yi told them about some things in Chengdu, talking about the business with each household, how he took advantage of it, and also talked about Zuo Wenhuai and others , They left Chengdu at the end of August. According to the distance, if there is no accident, they should have arrived in Fuzhou by now. I don't know what the situation is like there.

During this conversation, Yunzhu, Jin'er, and the children of the family also came back one after another, and everyone greeted and fought.Ning Ning was made to cry by her unreliable father, and she wanted to run to a corner where no one was there, but was held in Ning Yi's arms and was not allowed to leave, so she had to bury her head in Ning Yi's arms, Tears are also buried.

During the meal, the two brothers Su Wenfang and Su Wenyu also rushed over. Ning Yi asked about some small things in the family when the Su family was split. Naturally, there were protests in the family, but Su Taner, Su Wenfang, Su Wending After beating and scolding, people suppressed it.

In the past, the old grandpa Su Yu was always worried that the children in his family would not become talents. At this time, not only Ning Yi and Tan'er, but also Su Wenfang, Su Wending, Su Wenyu, and Su Yanping were all behind the Su family. The next fourth generation Some people have also been trained.For those in the family who have no ability or knowledge, there is no need to give them the right to speak.

After eating, Wen Fang and Wen Yu said goodbye and left. That night, after playing with the children for a while, Ning Yi started to visit upstairs and downstairs, spoiling good women.He is less than forty years old, has practiced martial arts, and is in excellent health. After tossing and tossing all night until late at night, after everyone and the children have fallen asleep, he walked around the various rooms in the yard and looked at the sleeping man. The side faces of his wives and children, and then sat down on the bench in the yard outside, thinking about things quietly.

At some point, Tan'er came out from inside and brought him a coat: "What are you thinking about?"

"I want to ruin things about good women."

"Don't make such a fuss, you are not too young, and you will soon become a good woman who ruins you."

Ning Yi laughed and put her in his arms.

"You know that when I do things, it's different from when I'm at home?"

"Well, at that time... according to what you said, he was more handsome."

"Recently, a few groups of people have been dealt with. Some people...you knew them before...actually, they are almost the same as before. Over the years, they either killed people in wars, or at a certain point, they died again after rectification. Come on... The Huaxia Army is getting stronger and stronger, and when I tell them things, I lose my temper more and more. Sometimes I really think, when will it be a head."

"Probably no head..." Tan'er stretched out her hand from his arms, stroked the center of his brows, and then quietly lay down on his chest, "I was a little bit dissatisfied when I said I wanted to tear down the Su family." I am happy, the family members are even more troublesome. But I thought later, what is the purpose of our life? When I was a girl, I just hoped to help my grandpa take charge of the family, and wait until the potential child comes out. Just hand over this family to him...after handing it over to him, I hope everyone can live well, this family has hope and hope..."

"...Up to now, the Su family has ten times and a hundred times more things than before, and they have hope and hope. After that, will it be thousands of times and tens of thousands of times? How can we live a better life than today? Is it better? I thought of this and thought it was enough. I saw them taking advantage of the Su family, wanting more endlessly, and if they go on, they will become second-generation ancestors who want extravagance... So ah , beat them again, every month's monthly report, I gave them a lot of cuts, and they work indiscriminately in the factory, and they are not even allowed to take money! If grandpa is still alive, he will support me like this... But Mr. Your side is different from mine..."

"It's a good thing to see." Ning Yi put his arms around her and sighed, "I originally thought... oh... I really can't let go today, so many people who don't deserve to die have died, beat Jurchen, recover Zhongyuan, I don’t know how long it will take to go forward, but in the future, I will live up to the expectations of all of them, but in the middle of this, I always feel that I am going to become a bad person again..."

Tan'er's head shook on his chest: "Since ancient history books, those who have the world in their hearts never use the term "good guys and bad guys."

"That's not what I meant..." Ning Yi paused, remained silent for a while, and finally just smiled, "Fortunately, you are still here, if..."

While talking, it seemed that someone poked the probe outside and retracted again. Ning Yi frowned and waved over there: "What's the matter? Take it here."

The person from the secretariat appeared over there, and that person walked in with a document: "It's urgent from Chengdu, but it's not very important."

"give it to me."

The secretary handed the information to Ning Yi, turned around and left.

Tan'er said beside him: "Then I go to sleep first?"

Ning Yi glanced at the information and shook his head: "Sit with me for a while, it's not a secret."

"What is that..."

"The Kingdom of Jin has changed its emperor... Zong Han and Xi Yin... are amazing..."

The news of Jindi Wanyanquan's ascension to the position was transmitted here at the fastest speed. Two months have passed. The first-hand news is extremely simple. It is basically the first-hand official document issued by Jin Guo, but Many things inside can be guessed.Because of the young emperor's ascension, the Kingdom of Jin avoided internal strife for the time being, which meant that when the Chinese army attacked the Kingdom of Jin, it might take a year or two more, or tens of thousands of lives might be lost.

The couple sat together for a while, and Ning Yi probably told Tan'er about the deduction of these things by the staff department.

"It stands to reason that the balance between the eastern and western prefectures of the Kingdom of Jin is already very fragile. Has Zhuji not taken any action in the north?" Tan'er asked in a low voice.

"After the end of the Southwest War, considering that the trend of hostility and even massacres of Han people in the Kingdom of Jin will increase, I have ordered the intelligence system in the North to stop all activities and go dormant for self-protection, but I still got the news before, and it was a step too late, Lu Mingfang sacrificed in the middle of this year..."

"Lu Mingfang...The shopkeeper Lu's family..." Sadness flashed across Tan'er's face. She also knew Lu Yannian back then.

"The shopkeeper Lu's family is gone..."

"He came back before, why didn't he leave any heirs?"

"He stays in that kind of place all year round, who wants to leave him an heir... In fact, he himself doesn't want to..."

There are yellowish lights flickering in the courtyard. In fact, compared to the heroes who are still fighting in various places, his little troubles in the rear are nothing.Such a quiet atmosphere lasted for a moment, Ning Yi sighed.

"Do you still remember... Tang Minjie?"

"Remember, I studied with you when I was in Xiaocanghe, and the one who came to our house to help and move things, I remember that he was a little fat and liked to smile. But when he squinted his eyes, he was very evil. A person who does great things...he committed a crime in Liangshan, you sent him abroad..." Tan'er looked at him, hesitated for a moment, "...he is also...huh?"

Ning Yi didn't answer, he folded the information in his hand, leaned down, and pressed his head with his hand: "I hope he... can calm down..."

There are countless things in this world that make people suffer.
