"Chang Ke, have you been following Jiang Xiaoyu recently?"

"That's right. It's his leader. Chang Ke faced her teacher, she was embarrassed to say the word close.

Because it's too foolish to say it. Yes, it's a fantasy, not a reverie. Who can fantasize about Jiang Xiaoyu, it's too blind.

"Then hasn't Jiang Xiaoyu done anything recently?" Wang Shixiang tasted tea lightly.

"It's the one on the edge of the North City. Jiang Xiaoyu was attacked and then almost died. It was still Bai Wufang who came to Jiangcheng, which could be regarded as saving his life. ”

Chang Ke didn't know what the teacher was asking for. But since the teacher asked, she answered truthfully.

After being in contact with Jiang Xiaoyu for a while, Chang Ke thought he still knew him.

So Chang Ke said: "Although Jiang Xiaoyu is light and prodigal, he also collects black money. But you can't say he's a bad guy. ”

The corners of Wang Shixiang's mouth curled: "Oh, how do you say it?"

Chang Ke understood why the teacher asked me to go to Jiang Xiaoyu's side. It turns out that seeing is believing, and hearing is false. ”

Chang Ke said with a sigh: "In the past, in the imperial capital, although I heard the teacher tell a lot of officialdom allusions and stories of slippery officials. But on paper, it is shallow in the end, and you must know that you have to do it. ”

"I learned a lot of things from Jiang Xiaoyu. It turns out that there are really a lot of things in this world that are not black and white. Although the laws and regulations written in the book are very good, it is extremely difficult to implement them. Because people are selfish animals. In addition, the situation is different from place to place. ”

Chang Ke said that there was some struggle here, but finally said: "I even think that Jiang Xiaoyu collects black money well." ”

"No, I can't even say it's black money. The people call it Ping An money, and I think the word Ping An is really right. It is not wrong for the teacher to receive the profit of this safe money. Chang Ke blamed the teacher by mistake. ”

Wang Shixiang looked at his disciple and asked with great interest, "Why do you feel so much now?"

"Because during the days when I followed Jiang Xiaoyu, I understood all kinds of Taoism in Jiangcheng. The three major underground forces in Jiangcheng are fighting with each other, and the rangers are extremely short of people. If you only rely on the finances of the yamen and the dead salary set above, then no one is willing to do the profession of ranger at all. In the early years, Jiangcheng was very chaotic, and the reason was that there was no orderly management. I heard that at that time, the Ranger's inner armor and power crossbow could not be replaced and updated in time. The ranger becomes a spectator of Jiangcheng. Don't look for a ranger if you have nothing to do, and don't look for a ranger if you have something. It became a joke at the time. ”

"If it weren't for Jiang Xiaoyu, he began to collect money by collecting safe money, recruiting rangers, updating equipment, and taking care of the government. Then today's Jiangcheng may not be the peaceful and peaceful scene of singing and dancing that we saw after entering the city. ”

"Therefore, everything Jiang Xiaoyu did cannot be said to be completely wrong. The way of doing things may not be so correct, but the general direction is good. After a while with Jiang Xiaoyu, Chang Ke began to try to speak for him.

Because everything that happened in Jiangcheng was different from the life she had experienced. Here, people's lives are more struggling and miserable. Although it is said that the small Jiangcheng is the second largest city in the entire Canghai Province in terms of personal economy, second only to the provincial capital Canghai City. But is it really nice to live here?

"So don't you think what Jiang Xiaoyu did was wrong, and don't you think there is a problem with collecting safe money?" Wang Shixiang smiled playfully.

"No, these things must be wrong. It's just that this place in Jiangcheng has been deformed. In this deformed place, Jiang Xiaoyu's method has become the best way to do it. Although Chang Ke began to understand Jiang Xiaoyu, she still had her own insistence.

"So Chang Ke, what do you think is the biggest culprit of Jiangcheng's deformity?"

When Wang Shixiang asked this question, Chang Ke replied unswervingly: "Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant!"

"Why?"

"Because the whole Jiangcheng is built on the Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant. More than 100,000 steel mill workers, steelmaking chimneys that cover the sky and the sun. The largest cargo in the city is the steel billet copper ingots, the ore and coal transported on the driveway. Cargo ships come and go, and all they pull away are shiploads of steel products. The steel mill is indispensable for Jiangcheng. ”

"Well, then why do you say that the steel mill is the biggest culprit?"

"Because in Jiangcheng, the steel plant has been deformed to the point that the enterprise is above the yamen!" Chang Ke cleared his throat when he said this: "Jiangcheng belongs to the inland region, and it has been peaceful for a long time. Since the founding of the city, there has been no major conflict, and no giant bandits have come. Therefore, when the city was first built, there was no military configuration for Jiangcheng. Originally, everyone thought that the veins of Tonglu Mountain were not large, and Jiangcheng could not develop. So there was a problem with the shape that was set at the beginning. ”

"The scale of the veins in Tonglu Mountain far exceeds expectations, and the development of Jiangcheng is getting bigger and bigger. The original problems have accumulated and there is no return. The steel mill has its own armed forces and security departments, has the right to plan its own land to build buildings, and has hospitals and schools that are independent of Jiangcheng's jurisdiction. Even the financial sector does not necessarily need to go from Jiangcheng. The entire steel plant is almost a city within a city independent of Jiangcheng. The workers of the steel mill only knew that there was a director of the steel plant in Jiangcheng, but they did not know that there was a city lord in Jiangcheng. ”

Hearing Chang Ke say this, Wang Shixiang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Not bad." There has been growth. But that's not enough. ”

Chang Ke listened to the teacher's teachings. Chang Ke bowed his head very respectfully and asked.

"The most terrifying thing is the sense of superiority of Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant. They believe that Jiangcheng is completely dependent on the development of the steel plant, and Jiangcheng is sucking blood on the steel plant. ”

"This ...... Isn't that a little naïve?"

"Hehe, everyone in the world has this heart. When I feel that I have suffered a loss, it is actually just fair. When I think I've taken a small advantage, I've actually taken a big advantage. Therefore, the steel plant is well managed by Long Sihai up and down, and the water cannot be splashed or the oil can be drenched. ”

"So the teacher came to Jiangcheng ......"

"I won't hide it from you now. I came to Jiangcheng for the steel mill. Don't talk about the establishment of a prince, and I'm not stupid. But the Holy One needs someone who can be truly faithful to help him, and he needs to return the steel mills to the royal family. ”

Chang Ke noticed Wang Shixiang's wording, the steel mill was taken over to the royal family, not the steel mill reform or something. The difference between the return to the royal family and the continued state-ownership of the steel mills after the reform is very significant.

Wang Shixiang stood up and paced back and forth in the hall: "And if you want to move the steel plant, you need to catch the handle." But Long Sihai did a good job, he didn't have a handle. There are also people in the steel plant, and it is not easy to cultivate a few internal employees. I'm afraid it will take years to find a flaw. ”

Speaking of this, Chang Kehui said with a heartfelt smile: "So the teacher asked me to approach Jiang Xiaoyu......"

"Well, take advantage of it. Or borrow the power of its local snake. After all, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake. Jiang Xiaoyu has been in Jiangcheng for so many years, he should have his own network. I need a knife that can cut through the shell of a steel mill. But I don't want to hurt my hand with this knife. So I'm going to make sure there's no poison on the handle of this knife. ”

"Chang Ke, do you think Jiang Xiaoyu is trustworthy?"

Chang Ke blurted out: "It's worth it!"

Just as the master and apprentice were talking, the guard in charge of guarding outside the house reported: "Master, Jiang Xiaoyu, the leader of the Jiangcheng rangers, asks to see you!"
