Autumn goes to winter, the weather begins to get cold, and on the field, business travelers come in waves, and go in waves.

In the southwestern part of the country, which is called the Huaxia People's Government, workshops in the vicinity of several large cities began to increase at a rate visible to the naked eye. The simple or complex post station nodes also began to prosper with the travel of business travel, and the surrounding villages relied on the road and began to form more obvious crowd gathering areas.

In July and August, there were riots or grand events in Chengdu, and then they also brought a large number of trade orders to the southwest. After seeing the bustle of Chengdu, the private traders chose to carry out simple money and goods transactions, while the representatives who came to watch the ceremony on behalf of various warlords and big clan forces obtained a larger scale of business and trade plans with the Huaxia Army, in addition to the first batch of sophisticated military supplies, there are also a large number of technology transfer agreements, which will be carried out in the next year or two.

For these warlords and clan forces, the two types of transactions have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they choose to buy artillery, guns, and steel knives of the Huaxia Army. If you choose technology transfer, the 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, the whole set of talents is cultivated, the price charged by the Huaxia Army is high and time-consuming, but the advantage is that it has its own things in the future, and no longer worries about fighting with the Huaxia Army.

At this time, in the outside world, the Wu Dynasty existed in name only and disintegrated not long ago, and every emerging warlord and force was still in a sensitive period of adjustment and adaptation. Some people who realized that the Wu Dynasty could no longer control their own military law began to control their own destiny, and some famous families began to come to the foreground from behind the scenes, and the children of the famous families who had the world in mind were ready to take on their responsibilities, and the people who had experienced countless hardships in the war began to shout "The prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning", during this period, there are also some local officials who are still waiting for the return of the Wu Dynasty's emperor, but who is shouting slogans, who is telling the truth, it will take time to verify.

With such a chaotic situation and complicated transition, it is impossible to say that anyone who cannot guarantee the food of the people under his rule will raise their swords and begin to beg for food nearby. Therefore, buying a batch of swords, guns and artillery produced in the southwest first is the most reliable guarantee for one's survival in this troubled era - of course, this is also the usual rhetoric used by the officials of the Huaxia Army when selling products.

And because the southwest has just experienced the war, materials and production lines are very tight, and orders for weapons can only adhere to the principle of first-come, first-served.

Among them, Liu Guangshi, who had a wide range of contacts and great 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, and other materials. After the entire order was negotiated and reported, even Ning Yi, who was accustomed to seeing the world and had just taken over the chairmanship at the August Congress, couldn't help but sigh: "Bright and atmospheric, Liu Guangshi should be the ......boss if he wants to be popular."

In the words, I can't wait to give him the title of my boss, and change more orders.

Of course, the orders are indeed enough, since Liu Guangshi downwards, a lot of orders and intentions mainly focused on the military industry are enough for Huaxia Army to achieve the current production plan two years later.

In addition to materials, there are many ways to transfer technology, some of them invite the technical personnel of the Huaxia Army to go over, the problem of 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 have summoned reliable personnel locally or directly sent their children to Chengdu and stuffed them into factories for training according to the contract, spending some days on the road, and the speed of becoming talents is relatively fast, and some want to recruit people in Chengdu for training and then take them away, but Huaxia Army does not guarantee that they will really follow after they complete their studies......

Of course, the more humane and relatively complex the training method, the higher the fee. This is also a very reasonable thing to do.

Liu Guangshi also purchased several of the most expensive and critical military technologies, at least from the contract point of view, at this time, the Huaxia Army's entire military industry, except for rockets, he will completely copy a set of the past. Although such an order will also empty his belongings, the warlords around him will definitely look forward to him within a few years, including Ning Yi, who has a very warm smile when he sees a group of envoys including Yan Daolun and Yu Hezhong.

Since September, there has been an endless stream of vehicles and ships on the land and water trade road from Chengdu to Jiange, and the rugged mountain roads and plank roads near Jiange have been carefully widened and reinforced twice by the engineering troops of the Huaxia Army. As for the waterway of the Izukawa, the large and small ships on the Jialing River came and went, and the shipyards accelerated their speed.

The nearby forces, large and small, are now busy transporting supplies to the southwest, and the things arrive first, so that the artillery can be transported out first, and the artillery is shipped out, whether it is to beg for thieves or to prevent thieves, they will be able to take the lead - the words of the Huaxia military affairs officers are also reasonable, and no one will think it is ridiculous. Of course, he is not crazy, who knows if the person next door will suddenly go crazy, and now that the emperor doesn't care about anything, all that everyone can believe is the swords, guns and sticks in his hands.

On the surface, trade is extremely prosperous, and in the shadows, black market business, smuggling, etc., are gradually emerging. Even if it is not an official caravan, if some new guns can be transported from the southwest, Dai Mengwei and others, who cannot directly do business with the Huaxia Army, are also happy to buy them, and even transport them to Lin'an to sell them to Wu Qimei, maybe they can make more money - the reason why it is uncertain is because the time is not enough for them to go to Lin'an to fight back and forth, so everyone still doesn't know what Wu Qimei's reputation is.

The huge prosperity brought huge shocks and chaos, so much so that since August, Ning Yi has been sitting in Chengdu, personally pressing the whole situation and slowly getting on the right track, and the Huaxia Army has ruthlessly cleaned up several groups of officials.

After the great victory, it was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and now it suddenly became the center of the whole world, and was tempted by all kinds of pursuits, and this was the first group of people who began to reach out. As Ning Yi said in the previous meeting, he made them a typical example of strict treatment, ranging from shooting to imprisonment, and all the positions of the offenders were dealt with to the end.

In this way, it was not until mid-December that 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. On December 20, he returned to Zhangcun and prepared to spend the New Year with his family.

The carriage crosses the road in the field. There is very little snow in the southwest winter, but the temperature still drops uncompromisingly, and Ning Yi sits in the car and feels tired when he is free.

He has been thinking a lot about "why bother" recently, because the pace of work is getting closer and closer to the rhythm of the previous life, meeting, inspecting, talking, and weighing people's hearts...... Rotate every day. The situation in Chengdu is uncertain, except for watermelon, other family members are not easy to come here, and he is becoming more and more powerful, coupled with the style of work has always been domineering, the grass period may be meticulous, once on the right track, it belongs to the kind of "you don't have to understand me, just look up to me", occasional reflection can't help but feel that there is no difference between the recent and the previous life.

It was the afternoon of the day when I got home. At this time, Zhangcun's school has not yet had winter vacation, and several children in the family, Yunzhu, Jin'er and others are still at school, and they got off the car at the gate of the courtyard, and saw a figure waving on the hillside not far away, but it was the red grape that has been protecting the safety of Zhangcun these days, she wore a military uniform with camouflage, even if she was far away, she could see the smile on her face, Ning Yi also waved her hand exaggeratedly, and then signaled her to come over.

Hongti pointed to the courtyard: You go first.

There was no one in the courtyard outside, and when I entered the courtyard inside, I saw two figures sitting at a small table choosing food. Su Tan'er was wearing a dress with red lines and white background, a red cloak on her back, her hair was tied in a long ponytail, and the girl's dress seemed a little strange at first glance, Ning Yi thought about it, but it was the other party's dress when he met this runaway wife for the first time after he woke up from a coma many years ago.

At that time, she wanted to meet this strange husband for the first time, on the one hand, she wanted to give a dismount, and on the other hand, she also planned to make peace, so she was dressed quite exquisitely, and it was estimated that she chose a lot of time. Perhaps because of this, she still remembers this outfit.

Xiao Chan, who was sitting at the stone table, had already seen him, waved her hand, Tan'er looked sideways, and a smile appeared on her face: "How is it?" She is a melon seed face, and she has not changed much for so many years, but she has been in charge of the house for many years, and she has added a bit of restrained wisdom and maturity between her eyebrows. Ning Yi looked at her with a smile.

"It looks like it's fading, and it's still there."

"Do you remember this?"

"I can't forget it."

"I almost forgot about it earlier, since Jiang Ning escaped, I deliberately brought this body, and then I kept it in the cabinet, and recently turned it out and dried it. This red cloak, which I used to love, is now a little shaggy. ”

Ning Yi smiled: "I heard that you have been wearing a red cloak recently, which is almost terrifying, and everyone who kills you thinks you are a blood bodhisattva." ”

He was referring to the big and small commotion that happened in Zhang Village in July and August, when a group of people rushed over and said that they wanted to do something to Ning Rentu's family and children, and most of them were arrested by mistake, and when they were dealt with, they could see Tan'er's cold face. As long as they cause serious injuries to people, they will all be shot, and those who cause property damage will be escorted to the mine and locked up with the Jurchen coolies, and will not accept the redemption of money.

This is still the result of Ning Yi's persuasion. Tan'er has a good brain, and she is more open than other women in many ideas, but in the face of these things in the family, she will not be much better than a simple landlord's wife. It was not enough for a group of people to make trouble for their husbands in Chengdu, but they also ran here to try to kill or kidnap the children in the family.

It is also for this reason that during that time, she personally interrogated every incident that occurred. Ning Yi demanded that he should be punished according to the law, so she demanded that he must be punished according to the provisions of the law.

At the end of July, many people in the green forest were still carnival, busy with the Chengdu incident, and most of the people who went to Zhangcun one after another were also impassioned. It wasn't until August that the military parade ended and the congress was held, and the details of the matter about Zhangcun came over.

And about the woman who appeared at the scene every time she was like the king of Yama, she was also described vividly in the rumors, everyone said that this was the one who was called the "Blood Bodhisattva" in Ning Yi's wife, who killed people like hemp in Luliang Mountain back then, and Lin Zongwu was defeated by her subordinates, but she didn't make many moves after getting married.

In the past, there were a few people in the rivers and lakes who knew about the red mention, but the propaganda of Zhuji often bypassed her, so the great masters that everyone cared about for more than ten years were usually only the decent "iron arm" Zhou Dong, the villain "Piercing Lin Bei Leg" Lin Zongwu, and the indescribable great grandmaster Ning Rentu. This time, the matter in Zhangcun was in an uproar, and someone dug up the matter from the depths of his memory and gave Hongti a wave of existence.

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

"With what?"

"Blood grapes." Xiaochan hurriedly said.

“……”

Tan'er sneered, Ning Yi was stunned for a long time, sat down next to her, hugged Xiaochan and kissed her the face: "...... Still is...... It's cute, so it's decided. There is a blood bodhisattva in our family, a blood grape, and the grape sounds like a follower, but in fact, the martial arts are the highest, and it is good. ”

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

At this time, from Ning Ji down, Yunzhu's eldest daughter Wenwen was twelve years old, Wen Jing loved to read, and when she laughed, she was like a copy of her mother. Ning He's personality is not very strong, at the age of nine, he looks like an ordinary silly boy, in the absence of external pressure, he didn't even show the martial arts talent of his mother Hongti, and his grades were only average, maybe Hongti, who lived in the peaceful years, would not become the first in the world of martial arts, and Ning Yi actually didn't plan to squeeze his potential too much.

Ning Ke, who is the same year as Ning He, maintains her usual lively and enthusiastic helping character, has the most friends and the best popularity in the school, she worries about this and that every day, and is a member of the entertainment committee and life committee in the school, but she is keen on other people's things and always lets her homework be left behind, which makes De Jin'er very worried. Jin'er has always flaunted herself with selfishness, and she can't figure out why her daughter has been stupid.

Of course, Ning Yi thought about it in private, but he was able to understand it. If Jin'er when she was a child would not have been sold because of her poor family and would not have experienced so many ups and downs, then maybe today's Ning Ke would be another picture of her.

Seven-year-old Ning Shuang and Ning Ning are in the first grade this year, and the two children who have grown up like conjoined babies since they were young have always been good. Watermelon's daughter Ning Ning has a very high talent in martial arts, but as a girl, she loves swords and doesn't love knives, which once made Watermelon quite distressed, but think about it, she learned a big knife when she was a child, and she was brainwashed to say that "chest hair is a big hero", and it was also because she met an unreliable father, so she was relieved, and in addition to her martial arts talent, Ning Ning's academic performance was also good, and she memorized ancient poems one by one, which made Watermelon quite happy, her daughter was not stupid, she was not herself, she was taken bad by an unreliable father......

The only drawback of Ning Ning, who is both civil and military, is that she doesn't talk much, people like to be quiet as her name suggests, as the second daughter of Yunzhu, Ning Shuang is often the spokesperson between the two, and what she has to say is often for Ning Shuang to say, so Ning Shuang's words are a little more than her, and still less than others. Maybe it's because since I was a child, I didn't need to talk too much.

The only accident was that Ning Ning fell on the way home recently, and as a beautiful and quiet little beauty, she broke one of her front teeth. She doesn't say it, but she actually cares about it.

"Don't laugh at her front teeth when you see her. Otherwise she'll cry. Tan'er advised, feeling that Ning Yi was likely to do this kind of thing.

"Don't worry, I'll just be in the office, and I won't laugh." Ning Yi laughed as he spoke, feeling that this kind of thing was really like a copy of the watermelon back then. Seriously dropped his front teeth......

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 he saw life and death, his mood has not been stable, of course, he is strong in martial arts, good-looking, and quite popular among a group of younger brothers and sisters, but these days his temperament has been turning from extroversion to introversion, especially after October, sometimes sitting on the roof in a daze, sitting for a long time at a time, and even sighing, I don't know what he is sighing, and then he actually began to look for books to read.

Xiaochan was shocked, Xiao Ji actually started to read like this, and always felt that he didn't know if he was sick, or that one day he would suddenly escape into the empty door to become a monk.

Of course, in addition to these anomalies, his practice in martial arts has not been delayed, and even some special operations exercises in the army and espionage exercises in Zhuji can easily adapt to it, and Hongti and Watermelon also said that his achievements in the coming days are limitless.

"This is the second phase of secondary school, the whole person is chattering, it's all the same, Wenwen, Ning He, and Ning Ke will be the same in the future, children can't control it at this age, they have a lot of ideas, and they will slowly get better at the age of seventeen or eighteen." Ning Yi comforted Xiaochan with an educator posture of "no one knows education better than me".

He actually understands in his heart that he would rather be worried about the bigger world and bigger rivers and lakes, if he can't keep it, when he trains to the age of seventeen or eighteen, he may only be able to let him go out for a walk, of course, if he doesn't want to leave after the second secondary school, then it will be better. Now the most important thing is to use a "drag" trick to ask the red watermelon to give him some more problems, and tell him that it is still too early for him to go out.

"But Ning Xi didn't do this at the beginning......" Xiaochan frowned.

"Ning Xi is stupid."

Ning Yi opened his mouth, and then slapped Tan'er on his hand: "Don't talk about him like that." ”

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 various households, 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 now, and I don't know what the situation is like over there.

In such conversations, Yunzhu, Jin'er, and the children at home also came back one after another, and everyone greeted and played. Ning Ning was made to cry by her unreliable father, and wanted to run to a corner where no one was in tears, but she was not allowed to go by Ning Yi in her arms, so she had to bury her head in Ning Yi's arms and bury her tears.

During the meal, the two brothers Su Wenfang and Su Wenyu also rushed over, Ning Yi asked about some small situations in the Su family when the Su family was split, and there were naturally protests in the clan, but they were beaten and scolded by Su Tan'er, Su Wenfang, Su Wending and others, and they were suppressed.

In the past, the old lady Su Yu was always worried that the children in the family would not become talents, but at this time, the backstage of the Su family not only included Ning Yi and Tan'er, including Su Wenfang, Su Wending, Su Wenyu, Su Yanping and others have been able to take charge of themselves, and the next fourth generation has also been cultivated. For those who do not have the ability and knowledge in the family, there is no need to give them a voice.

After eating, Wen Fang and Wen Yu said goodbye and left, and after getting together with the children for a while that night, Ning Yi began to visit the door upstairs and downstairs, ruining the women of the good family. He was less than forty years old, he had practiced martial arts, and his health was excellent, and he tossed and turned until late at night, and after everyone and the children had already slept, he walked around the various rooms in the courtyard, looked at the side faces of his wife and children who had fallen asleep, and then sat down on the benches in the courtyard outside, thinking quietly about things.

At some point, Tan'er walked out of it and brought him a coat: "What do you want?" ”

"I want to spoil the affairs of the women of the good family."

"Don't toss like this, you're not young, you're about to become a woman from a good family and spoil you."

Ning Yi laughed and took her into his arms.

"You know when I do things differently than when I'm at home, right?"

"Well, at that time...... According to what you said, it's more handsome. ”

"Several groups of people have been dealt with recently, and some of them have ...... You've known each other before...... Actually, it's pretty much the same as before. Over the years, either people will die in wars, or when they come to a certain time, they will die again, and they will come again and again...... The Huaxia Army is getting stronger and stronger, and when I tell them about things, my temper is getting bigger and bigger. Sometimes I really wonder when it's a head. ”

"Probably no head...... Tan'er stretched out his hand from his arms, stroked his eyebrows, and then quietly lay down on his chest, "I said before that I was going to dismantle the Su family, and I was also a little unhappy, and the family was even more troublesome." But then I thought, what are we doing in this life? When I was a girl, I just wanted to help my grandfather take charge of the family, and when the potential children came out, I would hand over the family to him...... After handing it over to him, I hope everyone can live well, and there is hope and hope for this family......"

“…… Up to now, the things under the hands of this Su family are ten times and a hundred times more than in the past, there is hope and hope, and then it will be a thousand times more? Can life be a little better than today? When I think about it, I think enough is enough. I saw that they took the benefits of the Su family, and they endlessly wanted more, and if they went on, they would all become the second ancestor of poverty and luxury...... So, I beat them again, and every month, I cut them a lot, and they were not even allowed to take money when they worked in the factory! If Grandpa was still here, he would support me like this...... But you're not the same as me, Xianggong......"

"It's a good thing to see it." Ning Yi hugged her and sighed, "I originally wanted to ...... Alas...... Today, I really can't let go, so many people who don't deserve to die have died, fighting the Jurchens and recovering the Central Plains, I don't know how long it will take to go forward, and in the future, I will live up to all their expectations, but in the middle, I always feel that I am going to become a bad person again......"

Tan'er's head shook on his chest: "Since ancient history, those who have the world in their hearts don't use the term "good guys and bad guys." ”

"That's not what I said...... Ning Yi paused, was silent for a long time, and finally just smiled, "It's good that you're all still here, if it's ......"

As he was talking, it seemed that someone had poked his head out and retracted it, Ning Yi frowned and beckoned over there: "What's the matter?" Take it. ”

It was the person from the secretariat who appeared there, and the man walked in with a document: "It's an urgent from Chengdu, but it's not very important." ”

"Give it to me."

The secretary handed the information to Ning Yi and turned around and went out.

Tan'er said beside her, "Then I'll go to sleep first?" ”

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

"What's that......

"The country of Jin has changed its emperor...... Zong Han and Hee Yin...... Amazing......"

The news of Emperor Jin's ascension to the throne is transmitted here at the fastest speed, and two months have passed, and the first-hand news is extremely simple, and it is basically a first-hand official document issued by the Jin State, but many things in it can be guessed. Because of the young emperor's ascension, the Jin State temporarily avoided internal strife, which meant that when the Huaxia army attacked the Jin State, it might take more time or two or tens of thousands of lives.

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

"It stands to reason that the balance between the eastern and western provinces of the Jin Kingdom is already very fragile, and Zhuji has no 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 massacre of Han people in the Jin Kingdom will increase, I have asked the intelligence system in the north to stop all activities and hibernate to protect itself, but I still got the news before, and it was a step late, and Lu Mingfang sacrificed ...... in the middle of this year."

"Lu Ming Fang...... The ...... of the shopkeeper's family in Na Lu" Tan'er's face flashed with sadness, she also knew Lu Yannian at the beginning.

"There is no one in the shopkeeper Lu's family......"

"He came back before, why didn't he leave an heir?"

"He's in that kind of place all year round, and who wants to leave him an heir...... In fact, he himself did not want to ......"

There are yellowish lights flickering in the courtyard, in fact, compared to the heroes who are still fighting in various places, what can he count as a little trouble in the rear. Such a quiet atmosphere lasted for a moment, and Ning Yi sighed.

"Do you remember...... Tang Minjie? ”

"I remember, I studied with you when I was in Xiaocanghe, and I came to our house to help, and the one who moved things, I remember that he was a little chubby and liked to laugh. But when he squints, he is very evil, and he is a person who does big things...... He later committed an accident in Liangshan, and you sent him out ......" Tan'er looked at him and hesitated for a moment...... He's ...... now, too Well? ”

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

There are countless things in this world, and they are all painful.
