Under the severe and heavy pressure of the Sichuan Governor Yamen, the military and government yamen at all levels, the schools, and the officials stationed in the public offices, all of whom now felt that the situation was in danger, finally launched a vigorous and resolute all-round suppression campaign with unprecedented speed and intensity, and finally achieved immediate results.

At dawn the next day, nearly 100 teams of officials dispatched by various yamen went into the streets and alleys, sounded gongs, and read aloud the announcements of the Chengdu Prefecture and the Admiral's Office.

Immediately after that, the news of the arrest of dozens of "instigating and bewitching rebellious elements" was comprehensively reported, and all public schools jointly issued a statement on abiding by the law and discipline.

The crisis is resolved, and the rest of the things don't need Xiao Yiming's heart.

Sichuan officialdom from top to bottom, are the old fritters who have been up and down for many years, no one has experienced such a terrifying all-round large-scale civil upheaval before, one by one frightened, helpless, now the situation has calmed down, the wisdom of the bureaucrats has been all displayed, whether to fight or pull, whether to protect or kill, things have become very simple, how to wipe the buttocks, how to sum up lessons and lessons to prevent them from happening, no one needs to worry about them at all.

The Army Accelerated School was the most stable in this turmoil, although there were more than 30 students who secretly joined the League, but with the efforts of Xu Xiaogang and Xiao Yiming, the chief of the military affairs section, there were no incidents.

The next morning, as soon as the five students who were in a hurry to jump out and mobilize their classmates to take to the streets were detained, Xiao Yiming rode to the school, and when he learned of the situation, he immediately found Xu Xiaogang, and said that Xu Xiaogang tore up the announcement of the expulsion of the five students that had just been written on the grounds that "we must not make a big noise and wipe out the achievements we had worked so hard to make yesterday."

Xu Xiaogang, who knew how to do it, thanked Xiao Yiming for his reminder and immediately pulled all the trainees to the exercise area 20 kilometers away from the western suburbs to hold a series of training such as camping and building fortifications for five days on the pretext of "carrying out field training according to the teaching plan."

Xiao Yiming did not follow, returned to his own territory, and began to supervise the work.

Due to the use of a large number of reinforced concrete pillars, beams and floor slabs for the newly built courtyard house covering an area of five acres, the construction standard is high and the time is long, Xiao Yiming has to keep the old house for the time being.

The six-meter-wide road in front of the old house has been built, connecting the new and wide Zhenxing Road in the east, and extending to the big reservoir in the west, with a total length of 120 meters from the original 120 meters to 250 meters, all the land on both sides of the road belongs to Xiao Yiming's private ownership, and the next step will be to build ten new-style courtyards covering an area of two to four acres, and then this road will become a special road for Xiao Yiming and his brothers.

The new courtyard is built in the back of the old house more than 50 meters, the original towering camphor tree, just located in the front yard of the new house, the north of the 16 meters high, the circumference of more than 70 meters of the hill, has become a scenery of the backyard: all the ten centimeter diameter trees on the mountain bag are all retained, the top of the repair of a simple and elegant hexagonal pavilion, with the stone steps to build up and down the connection, after all the construction, will be moved in the spring to Luohan bamboo, plum and peach trees, embellishment and beautification.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed, and the next morning, as soon as Xiao Yiming and Wu San came out of the wide basement under the new courtyard, they heard that someone from the governor's yamen was looking for them.

Xiao Yiming didn't have time to change his clothes, so he hurriedly rushed back, and saw Guo Tiecheng, the chief of the governor's guard, sitting on a chair in the hall drinking tea, and hurriedly stepped forward to shout brother.

Guo Tiecheng made a few jokes casually, and told the governor that he was going to inspect the arsenal, and seeing Xiao Yiming's puzzled face, he said in a low voice:

"The adults say that you have a lot of ideas, let you go around with the car, how to rectify, how to calm the anger of thousands of workers, are all things that must be faced."

Xiao Yiming suddenly understood:

"Speaking of which, the general office, the general office, and section chief who were arrested are all out of service?"

"The adults haven't finally made up their minds, my brother is thinking about it privately, if it's all in one pot, I'm afraid this arsenal won't be able to slow down in half a year, so it's very difficult for adults to do, I guess the adults will ask your opinion later, and you should think about how to answer along the way."

Guo Tiecheng is very righteous and takes good care of this little brother who can be a man and do things.

Xiao Yiming didn't delay any longer, quickly changed into a clean military uniform, took two guards, and followed.

Passing through the still deserted street, entering the governor's yamen, the governor just walked out of the court, saw Xiao Yiming, and said, "Follow me on the side of the sedan chair", got into the sedan chair, surrounded by a team of guards and dozens of relevant civil and military officials, and drove mightily to the arsenal in the southeast corner.

Zhong Ying's guards were still guarding the periphery of the arsenal, and when they saw the arrival of the captain's team, they hurriedly saluted one by one, behaved in an orderly manner, led the team into the gate, and stopped in front of the largest house in the arsenal, and more than a dozen middle and lower-level officials of the factory had already knelt in a row to greet them.

After Zhao Erxun got out of the sedan chair, he only said "lead the way", and a group of officials immediately rushed to get up and bend down to lead.

Xiao Yiming and Guo Tiecheng walked side by side behind Zhao Erxun, passing through the workshops, warehouses and semi-finished product storage places that had long been suspended, looking at the rusty machinery and equipment, and couldn't help but shake their heads.

Zhao Erxun stopped in front of a German horizontal lathe more than four meters long and two meters high, and looked at the Governor in charge of the arsenal with great annoyance.

The superintendent knelt down with a "poof", raised his hand and slapped himself, and after two slaps, his nose and mouth were all bloody, and he still didn't dare to stop.

Zhao Erxun trembled with anger:

"Enough! Zhao Zhikang, you are too disappointed in this seat, from the previous governor Lord Xi to this seat, the annual investment in the arsenal is as high as four or five hundred thousand, but look at it, what has become of the arsenal you manage? Someone-"

"In!"

"Push it down and send it to the prosecutor's room for a good trial!"

"Yes!"

Two burly and tall guards rushed up, like screwing chickens, and quickly carried Zhao Zhikang away, and hundreds of officials of all sizes around him trembled one by one, silent, and the sound of heavy breathing was as clear as a bellows.

Yuan Jinkai quietly persuaded Zhao Erxun: "My lord, please calm your anger, your body is important." ”

Zhao Erxun sighed, looked at the dusty and old machine tool, and called in a low voice for a while: "Yiming." ”

"Humble duty!" Xiao Yiming hurriedly stepped forward.

Zhao Erxun asked hopefully: "You are proficient in foreigners' machines, in your opinion, can this factory still be saved?" ”

Xiao Yiming hesitated, and according to the truth:

"I am not an expert in this area, but from the analysis of the situation I have seen so far, as long as I work hard, I should be able to save my life! According to the humble understanding, the factory four years ago was able to successfully imitate the Krupp seven or five guns, the successful production of flowering bullets and sub-munitions, two years ago, the factory and the successful imitation of the German Mauser 98 long rifle, although there are many problems, but in the absence of drawings, without the guidance of foreigners, can do this is quite good, proving that the factory's officials and technical backbone have still made efforts

"From now on, if the factory can reorganize the discipline, standardize the regulations, formulate a plan, implement it steadily, and then invite a foreigner technician who is proficient in machinery and equipment to repair and maintain all the equipment, the factory may be able to restore the old look."

When the officials heard that Xiao Yiming had so skillfully excused officials at all levels of the arsenal, their hearts suddenly increased their favor for him.

Everyone is a person who mixes in officialdom, who can guarantee that he has not made a mistake? And Xiao Yiming, who has just stepped into the officialdom and is still a young member of the army, has no relationship with officials at all levels of the arsenal, but he is kind-hearted and quietly takes care of him, not only the officials at all levels of the arsenal are grateful to him, but other officials also secretly admire.

Sure enough, the Governor's face looked much better, he walked to the Admiral and the Domain, and the three elders got together, whispered a few words, and just a few words and a few eyes, the Admiral stood up, cleared his throat, and announced loudly:

"Xiao Yiming, the governor of the Yamen Inspector and the Army, is young and promising, proficient in the law, and is hereby appointed as the prosecutor of the corruption and dereliction of duty case in the arsenal, and concurrently serves as the acting director of the arsenal, and will make every effort to verify and collect evidence, and resume work as soon as possible.

Xiao Yiming was taken aback, but the officials breathed a long sigh of relief, it seemed that the governor's board was raised high and gently lowered, otherwise how could Xiao Yiming, who was sympathetic to the dereliction of duty officials, be suddenly appointed to be fully responsible for the investigation of this case? It's not just about trusting and promoting!

"Okay, let's go back and think about it."

Zhao Erxun snorted, flicked his sleeves and walked away.

A group of officials swarmed around, quietly wiped away the sweat beads one by one, and hurriedly followed, and more than a dozen arsenal officials floated to Xiao Yiming behind Zhao Erxun with the corners of their eyes as they walked, and their gratitude was beyond words.
