In the camp headquarters late at night, Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin had just returned, and Xing Chenghui left them to eat at Xing's house and drank a lot of wine. Although the two of them drank a lot of alcohol, and there was not much strong wine in Silver Tower City at all, the two of them were still a little drunk when there was something in their hearts.

"Lao Zheng, how much can we believe what you say about Xing Chenghui?" Cheng Lei was smoking a cigarette while talking to Zheng Bin.

Zheng Bin reclined in his chair, his face slightly red: "I think I can trust him, after all, the interests in this are closely related to him." His four caravans can also make two trips to the West every year, and even if a caravan earns 50,000 gold coins for one trip, it will earn 400,000 a year. And he also has to deal with all kinds of relationships, all the forces along the way have to be dealt with, and those families in the Western Empire have to take the lion's share, and it would be good if he could have more than half left. ”

"Then again, Xingjiamen's stall is so big, his hundreds of black-clothed people don't want money or the workers in the oil mine don't want money? And what about the various expenses? In the end, it's good to have a hundred thousand left. ”

Zheng Bin asked Cheng Lei for a cigarette and lit it, and continued: "As for selling cement? Every day we gave him 20 tons of cement and 80 gold coins at the factory price. He sold it with twenty or more gold coins per ton, and I heard that the cement on the black market was now more than one hundred and thirty gold coins. Even if he earns twenty gold coins per ton, it will be four hundred a day, and ten thousand twelve in a month. What about twelve months? Even more than he earned by working hard to transport oil mines to the West, do you think so? ”

After listening to Zheng Bin's detailed account, Cheng Lei nodded and said: "I have already calculated this account for him, but it is not as fine as yours." You also missed the fact that this money is like a free pick up compared to the money earned by the horse teams that went to the West. From this point of view, Xing Chenghui, the old boy, will definitely do his best to protect his own interests and stop Mo Geda's conspiracy. ”

"Yes, that's what I thought too. Mo Geda probably didn't just want to ask us for cement, if he agreed to his request, this guy would definitely get an inch. When the time comes, we will give in again and again, and I am afraid that in the end we will reach the point where there is no way back. Zheng Bin said there in a foggy manner.

"Lao Zheng, why aren't you as idiot as you were when you first came here? I found you smarter! Cheng Lei began to joke with Zheng Bin.

Zheng Bin glared angrily: "Get out!" You're an idiot! This is the reason why you have been suppressing me and not giving me a chance, I am better than you as the leader in the base! Do you think it is so easy to lead more than 1,000 migrant workers with extremely feudal ideas? Immature! ”

"Okay, okay, I'm naïve, I'm naïve, right? Lao Zheng: When do you plan to return to the base? ”

Zheng Bin was even more unhappy now: "You just want me to go so much?" I'm in your way, aren't I? ”

Cheng Lei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Of course not, you know I want to be with you all day." You see how happy I am today, no one has been able to make me joke for a long time. But I'm afraid it won't work if there is no one in command of our base, don't you say? ”

"It's okay, the base is on the right track now, and there is Pan Jin watching there, nothing can happen. Lao Cheng, this time I came back to stay for a few more days, and I haven't bothered to talk to Pear Blossom yet! Ewha is now the time to be pregnant and anxious, and no one is around to talk about mental illness! Zheng Bin said seriously.

Cheng Lei's heart suddenly roared past 10,000 grass and mud horses: Zheng Bin, this kid is not only a thief, but also began to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband! It shouldn't have been, it really shouldn't have been brought here in the first place, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many things.

But after thinking about it, Fang Lihua still has merit, after all, she brought Cheng Lei such a gentle and virtuous wife Qinglan! Speaking of which, Fang Lihua is still their matchmaker, without Fang Lihua's admonition at the beginning, Cheng Lei would not have agreed to this family business, and in the end, it would have evolved into a war with the Tieji tribe.

Could it be that this Fang Lihua is still a lucky star of the Lion King Squadron? Cheng Lei suddenly felt less disgusted with Fang Pear Blossom from his heart, Zheng Bin is a person who has had a wife and children, and the feeling of Fang Pear Blossom may come from Fang Pear Blossom's beauty and the reason for having children! Even if he asked Zheng Bin, he couldn't tell himself, and Cheng Lei couldn't say it even more.

The next day, Duke Duozan came to the camp in person and chatted with Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin in the headquarters for a long time. Of course, he came here for Dahengcheng to buy cement from Cheng Lei, what he meant was that more was better than less, and if their requirements were not too excessive, it would be better to agree to them.

Presumably, Duke Duozan already knew the whole process from Du Mo's mouth, but Cheng Lei still told Duke Duozan everything about the incident carefully. Cheng Lei's purpose is to let Duke Duozan know how arrogant and domineering that Mo Geda is, and he hopes that Duke Duozan can understand himself and not regard himself as the kind of person who ignores the overall situation for his own interests.

After all, they are the closest allies with Duke Duozan, and without Duke Duozan's support, Cheng Lei may not have a good time. For example, recruiting soldiers, as long as Duke Dozan does not allow it, they can't recruit soldiers at all. Another example is the matter of drilling wells in the base, which is done by the professional well-drilling team invited by the Duke of Dozan from Vientiane City, and now the wells in the base can meet the needs of thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

Duke Duozan expressed his understanding after listening to Cheng Lei's words, and asked him what he planned to do next. and said that if Cheng Lei wants to turn his face with Dahengcheng, he must inform him, and he will definitely support Cheng Lei.

Cheng Lei shook his head and said no, and revealed some of the fact that he and Zheng Bin went to Xing Chenghui to Duke Duozan. Duke Duozan immediately understood, he had long known the essence of the Xing family, so he was not surprised that Xing Cheng Huineng's influence could achieve the purpose of curbing Mo Geda's intentions.

Duke Duozan's support for them made Cheng Lei particularly moved, and he promised to tell him if the construction of the city defense of Yinta City needed cement. Cheng Lei will give Duke Duozan the lowest price, and even let Duke Duozan use it for free, just for the friendship of Duke Duozan.

After Duke Duozan left, Zheng Bin went to see Fang Lihua, and Cheng Lei also returned to his and Qinglan's bedroom. Qinglan was embroidering something there, Cheng Lei walked over to take a look, and it was a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water. Qinglan's hands are very skillful, and the waterfowl on it are embroidered vividly.

Cheng Lei teased her: "Qinglan, we are all married, why are you still embroidering these things that are ready to get married?" ”

Qinglan smiled and said, "You, don't think about things at all." Can't you see what is interesting between Sister Pear Blossom and Brother Zheng? Sister Pear Blossom is pregnant now, of course, she can't embroider this, so I prepared a little for them in advance, so as to save the time when I can use it. ”

When Cheng Lei heard this, infinite love and pity suddenly surged in his heart: although Qinglan usually doesn't talk much, everything she does is so touching. If Zheng Bin knew about this, he would definitely shout that Cheng Lei married a good wife, why didn't he Zheng Bin meet such a good wife.

"How do you know they're going to get married?" Cheng Lei asked again.

Qinglan glanced at Cheng Lei and said with a smile: "I know that you have always disagreed with their marriage in your heart, and Sister Lihua doesn't seem to care about this matter." But Brother Zheng is too good to Sister Ewha , women are afraid that men will be too good to them, I think they will be together one day, and this day will not be too far away. ”

Cheng Lei smiled: "You want to say that this is your woman's intuition, right?" ”

Qinglan smiled mischievously and didn't speak again, but concentrated on embroidering her mandarin duck playing in the water. Cheng Lei observed Qinglan carefully, her almond-like eyes were clear and charming, and her pink mouth made people look like they wanted to take a bite. Cheng Lei hugged her from behind, grinding his ears and temples.

Qinglan was a little itchy by him, and said coquettishly: "I hate it, people are busy, be careful that the needle you!" ”

Cheng Lei joked with her: "Pierce it, if you bear it, you can pierce it!" ”

Qinglan had to let him hold her, she suddenly thought of something, and asked with a red face and a little panicked: "Husband, ...... When are we ......" The voice behind her became smaller and smaller, and in the end, Cheng Lei didn't hear what she said clearly.

This confused Cheng Lei: "When are we going to do something?" What are you afraid of, speak out boldly, there is nothing else we dare not say between the two of us. ”

Qinglan's face turned even redder: "I hate it, you know what I said, you just tease me, people ignore you." As he spoke, he turned his back to Cheng Lei, leaving only a beautiful back for him.

Cheng Lei suddenly woke up a little: "Oh...... I understand! You're talking about when we're going to have a baby, right? ”

"Nasty! I knew I wouldn't ask you, why are you so loud! Qinglan twisted Cheng Lei's arm and said angrily: "You just deliberately want to see my jokes, right?" ”

Cheng Lei looked at her and immediately laughed: "Haha, Qinglan, this is not like you!" Isn't it just a child, what is there to dare people to know? Besides, if we talk in our own room, can we still let others listen to it? Coward! ”

Then Cheng Lei took Qinglan's little hand seriously and said, "Qinglan, our current situation really doesn't allow us to have children. I promise you, when the base is all completed and we all move in, we will start asking for it. You must fight for anger and give me a few more big fat boys! ”

Qinglan was extremely shy by Cheng Lei's words, and ran to find Fang Lihua with her face covered. Cheng Lei smiled secretly in his heart: Zheng Bin, Zheng Bin asked you to give Fang Lihua nothing to do, now Qinglan has gone to stir up peace for you, don't blame me!
