Chapter 155 After the Great Victory, All Wastes Are Prosperous
This was the first time that Shi Jin was able to sleep soundly and peacefully all night. When he opened his eyes again, the sun and mountains were already outside the window. Shi Jin stretched himself for a long time, feeling comfortable and full of energy. Shi Jin grabbed the fluffy quilt with his hands and raised his head. He immediately turned over and sat up. He put on his clothes and soft armor, stretched his arms and moved them as much as he wanted, and the bones in his whole body creaked.
“So comfortable,”
Shi Jin felt light and comfortable and walked out of the hospital as soon as he opened the door.
This is Li Baicao's backyard. After last night's battle and the annihilation of the officers and soldiers, Shi Jin made all the arrangements for the defense. After that, he took a bath and changed clothes and returned here to visit Chen Da. Then he rested in a small side room of Li Baicao. After getting off the bed, Shi Jin is now full of energy and vitality after recuperating from this sleep, and has regained his former heroic appearance. He is in high spirits when happy events happen. Shi Jin can't help but feel happy when he thinks that Huayin County can finally be safely in his pocket. brow.
At that moment, Shi Jin jumped into the courtyard, and as soon as he showed off his skills, he performed a set of punches vigorously. This set of punches was very enjoyable. Just when he stood still for the last move and closed his fists, there was a snap, snap, snap. Applause rang out from behind.
Shi Jin looked back and saw that there was no one in the courtyard.
At this time, the applause sounded from in front of him again. Shi Jin looked back and saw that there was no one in front of him.
At this moment, brisk applause sounded from the direction of the manger. Shi Jin paused for a moment, then turned around suddenly, but still did not see a ghost.
At this time, Shi Jin couldn't help laughing and said, "You brat, come and play tricks on your big brother."
"Brother, how did you know it was me," Shi Qian appeared in the courtyard with a smile.
"Who else could have this ability but you?" Shi Jin pointed at the boy, and Shi Qian laughed a little proudly.
Shi Qian stopped laughing and said with a serious face: "Brother, there is really one person who can do it. I think...brother must also value this person very much."
"Oh," Shi Jin built an awning with one hand and looked up at the rich sunshine. It was almost midnight.
Shi Qian saw that his elder brother didn't seem to care, but he was not anxious because he knew that after the following words, his elder brother was very concerned.
"Brother, do you know why the heavily guarded government camps were set on fire one after another and disrupted," Shi Qian asked unhurriedly.
As expected, Shi Jin's eyes tightened, he turned to look at Shi Qian, and asked seriously: "Does the wise brother know?"
Shi Qian nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, brother would never have thought that the one who set the fire was Inspector Meng..."
"Meng Sen, Inspector Meng," Shi Jin's handsome eyes were round and round with shock.
Shi Qian shook his head slightly and continued what Shi Jin interrupted: "The second chief under Inspector Meng,"
When Shi Jin first heard the name of "Kui Er", his body trembled in vain: "Isn't that the Ku Er I asked you to try to capture?"
"Exactly, that day I competed with him in light kung fu, and he was willing to surrender, so I tied him up to Shaohua Mountain and handed him over to brother Zhu Wu. I didn't expect that this second eldest brother actually did us a huge favor."
"It's him, that's right." Shi Jin saw that Shi Qian seemed puzzled by what he said, so he continued: "He is a trump card in Meng Sen's hand. His affiliation is very special, and he has different officers and soldiers." The token of the camp, and he has been very familiar with Meng Sen’s camp strategy for so many years. In addition, he is very skilled in killing people and setting fires. He is naturally familiar with the road, and it will not be difficult for him, but..."
"That's right, last night he led ten of his men and burned down five camps of officers and soldiers. Brother, what worries do you have," Shi Qian saw that Shi Jin was still talking and asked.
"Just, why would he help me?" Shi Jin frowned, an unpredictable cloud rising in his heart.
Shi Qian smiled after hearing this and said: "I didn't understand it at first, but brother Zhu Wu really had some magic. He asked someone to send a message. When it came, it was to communicate with each other and say that Yang Chun had led the troops. After returning to the village, the second thing I did was to tell my brother about Ku Er in detail and tell me that he can be reused with confidence."
"Oh, what did Zhu Wu say? Tell me quickly." Shi Jin looked at Shi Qian seriously, waiting for his next words.
Shi Qianqin nodded and relayed the words of the messenger without any hesitation: "Brother Zhu Wu said three things. First, he heard from Kui'er that his elder brother had saved his life. He was extremely grateful. Second, he heard that his elder brother had saved his life. He was extremely grateful. Come..." At this point, Shi Qian smiled sheepishly and continued: "Secondly, I have captured and released him many times with my flying and walking skills. I convinced people with my skills and made him deeply impressed. I am deeply impressed. Thirdly, it is Brother Zhu Wu’s great ability. His exquisite heart with seven orifices, and his eloquent tongue that talks about everything in the world. Put these three together, how can this Kuei Er be able to resist? How can you not sincerely rely on your brother?"
After hearing these three points, Shi Jin nodded silently, with a slight smile on his face. This Kui Er was a Chinese character that Shi Jin was optimistic about. Although he could not be said to have the talent of a general, he was originally a man of the world, and he was even better in the cottage. It had a wonderful effect, and he must be happy to do it. Shi Jin thought of this, and couldn't help but smile at the happy result, and said to Shi Qian: "Brother, I wonder if Kui Er is in the city at the moment?" In, or..."
"After he burned down five company camps, he returned to the stronghold. He heard from brother Zhu Wu's messenger that he had other tasks,"
Huayin County was also captured, so what other tasks were left? Shi Jin didn't think much about it, but let Brother Zhu Wu take control of everything himself. So, Shi Jin said: "I don't know how the things arranged in the city are going. "
Shi Qian licked his lips subconsciously and said in a low voice, "Brothers have done almost the same thing. Counting all the soldiers, there are still more than 2,100 soldiers in the city, and 1,300 wounded soldiers have been injured." More than a hundred people cleaned the battlefield in the city last night, and the corpses were buried on the southwestern slope outside the city. More than 5,000 pieces of weapons, arrows, and armor were seized. Since the appeasement list was posted last night, people in the city have been coming and going as usual today, and there are more More than a thousand strong men came to join our army. Although we are ready to fight now, my eldest brother needs to recruit more troops. I made my own decision and retained them, leaving them to Liu Quantian to organize."
Shi Jin was quite satisfied in his heart, nodded and said: "That's good, but why does my brother listen to your tone, as if you are depressed? Why are you feeling sad?"
Shi Qian sighed and said: "Brother, this war has just ended, and the people should be allowed to cultivate and recuperate. However, Huayin County is currently short of food and rice, and the market for goods is blocked. If this continues, I am afraid that we in this city will I can’t go to jail,”
Shi Jin stood in the sun, pondered for a long time, then shook his head slightly, took a long breath and said: "In addition to these troubles, there are still many things to do now. Dear brother, you go to the tower to play drums, we are here We gather together in the Ximen Tower, and we will discuss it in detail together when the time comes."
"Yes," Shi Qian said with both hands, then flew out of the hospital and galloped off.
Shi Jin sent Shi Qian away and returned to the main hall of the secret room in Li Baicao's backyard. When Shi Jin slowly opened the door of the secret room, Chen Da was lying on the bed leaning against the bedside. Seeing Shi Jin When he came in, his dull face suddenly gained a touch of joy, and he shouted: "Brother, I'm so bored here,"
"I know this is the first thing you said when you saw me. Brother, how can I not know what you are hiding in your heart?" Shi Jin said and smiled, saying: "Take good care of yourself. When the injury is gone, I will go out." Someone carried you around in a sedan chair to relax your mind."
When Chen Da heard this, he immediately raised his arms and said, "Brother, you can see that it's almost done. Hehe, Li Baicao's methods are really powerful."
"It's because you are so unbearable," Shi Jin brought up a pear-grain carved chair in front of Chen Da.
After hearing this, Chen Da smiled flatteringly at Shi Jin.
"If it's easy to move, it's okay to walk around. However, Huayin County has just been captured and there are still a lot of troublesome things, so don't worry about it." Shi Jin paused and said, "Brother, you are in Huayin County." I once worked as a butcher and bought pork in Yin County. Did you know that except for Kong Ru, who was a big businessman in the city, who else could speak well and take the lead in the business world?"
"My eldest brother wants to take this opportunity to reorganize the business community in Huayin County. But as far as I know, apart from the Kong family, there is really no one he mentioned. You must know that the Kong family has secretly monopolized a lot of money in recent years. Take this dyeing shop as an example. He handles 70% of the fabrics on Yongxing Military Road, and then processes and resells them to Zheng County, Pucheng County, Weinan County and other places. Other cloth merchants are doing business on a small scale. Most of those who couldn't compete with his large-scale efforts were eventually swallowed up by him, and the source of the cloth fell into the hands of the Kong family."
Shi Jin nodded as if he understood, and said to himself: "No wonder, after this war, many businesses found it difficult to open the market. It turns out that it was not the fault of the war, but that I killed Kong Ru, and She Wu If the head is not good, it seems that the business community cannot rely on others,"
"Brother means that we should do it ourselves," Chen Da seemed a little surprised when faced with Shi Jin's determination, but he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.
Shi Jin nodded, but his brows were furrowed, which made Chen Da understand that there must be difficulties that Shi Jin had anticipated, so he asked carefully: "Brother, why are you looking so sad?"
Shi Jin sighed softly and said: "It's not a big deal. It is particularly important to restore people's production right now, and if the business community prospers, it will contribute to the improvement of people's livelihood. However, we and others have not Having done such a thing, I'm afraid..."
After hearing this, Chen Da immediately understood that his brother was worried about this again, and immediately said: "What's the problem? Although my brother killed Kong Rong, the foundation of the Kong family was not burned down. This is just a change." Regarding the boss's affairs, let the Kong family's subordinates abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, and my brother will be able to control the overall situation."
Shi Jin smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "My dear brother, if it were that simple, I wouldn't be so troubled. You may have forgotten that I, together with the backbone of the Kong family, were like some kind of accounting officer." Everyone has done a lot,”
Chen Da was speechless.
He knew that Huayin County was indeed in a mess. If he wanted to reorganize the business community, it seemed that he would have to start over.
