Chapter 156: Homeland (Fourth Shift)
The weather was overcast and drizzling non-stop. Drives away the heat and brings coolness to the earth.
Outside the city, the originally barren land appeared a little green. As far as the eye can see, the safe areas on both sides of the provincial highway are full of hard-working people. The drizzle drenched their bodies, but at the same time moistened the crops in the field and grew rapidly.
Patches of corn fields have grown knee-high seedlings. Grow and thrive in the rain with a gentle breeze.
"The grain of the Harvest Trading House is fantastic!"
"Yes! In just one week, without watering a few times, the corn stalks have grown so tall! ”
From time to time, there were voices of praise for the harvest trading house in the fields. These tenants were not entirely convinced at first that there were new varieties of grain that were resistant to drought and had a fast growth cycle. Now, the facts are in front of them, after the wasteland is reclaimed, the grain seeds received are sprinkled, and they are watered once or twice, and the grain seeds sprout, and the young seedlings break through the soil and grow strongly, bringing them endless surprises.
The name of the Harvest Trading House, as well as the owner Li Ba, has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of all tenants. For them, having a good life today is all thanks to Boss Li, and the gratitude is indescribable.
On both sides of the road, armed police officers and soldiers patrol by car from time to time. The tenant scheme was led by the Harvest Firm, with official assistance. Strict rules were put in place to protect the land reclaimed by tenants.
At the gate of the city, there are two tents. One is affiliated with the official. One belongs to the Harvest Trading House. Both families were stationed here to provide services to the tenants at all times.
On the city wall, Liang Shaoping stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the fields reclaimed in the distance, as well as the thriving crops, and his resolute face showed a smile of relief.
"If Xibu City can be concentric, I believe it won't be long before it will become the happiest home for mankind!"
Feeling something, he sighed for no reason, and said to himself.
"It's a pity that the biggest root of human beings is infighting!"
A slightly mocking voice came.
Liang Shaoping turned to look. A bald young man walked towards him with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Even in the last days. This situation of cannibalism has not changed, but has become more and more intense! ”
Li Ba walked over with a smile.
"You're right!"
Liang Shaoping nodded, and his voice became low: "If one day, human beings can stop fighting and fighting." I believe that even in the face of great disasters, there is hope for humanity to overcome. ”
"If you go outside, you must first settle inside!"
Li Ba came to Liang Shaoping's side, standing side by side, looking into the distance. Youyou said: "Now, if you want to be concentric, you must eradicate that evil dragon!" ”
"You think I don't want to?" Liang Shaoping asked rhetorically.
"You want to! You're more like a dragon than anyone else, but you can't make up your mind! ”
"It's not that I can't make up my mind, but I want to get rid of him...... The cost is too great for you and I to afford! ”
"Do you want to let this evil dragon grow bigger?"
"No!"
Liang Shaoping shook his head, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes: "Give me another half a month, and the military will have enough strength to uproot the power of Long Sihai!" ”
"Your military has secretly cultivated a team of evolutionaries?"
As a matter of fact. Even if Li Ba doesn't ask, he knows it in his heart. The research of the evolution potion was successful, and after all, it accounted for a very small part of the market. Most of them should be requisitioned by the military to train evolutionary talents.
Liang Shaoping smiled slightly, noncommittal.
"But don't forget Zhang Kang, and his female companion!"
Li Ba reminded. The tone became solemn.
Liang Shaoping nodded: "If it's just Zhao Kang alone, don't be afraid, it's his female companion who is in trouble." It is clear that the woman is from another settlement. If it leads to calamity and collusion with Long Sihai, it will be a real disaster for my Xibu City! ”
It seems that it's not just Li Ba. Liang Shaoping has long seen that the root cause of the hidden danger lies.
"That'...... You're not going to do anything officially? ”
"Wait! Only wait! ”
Liang Shaoping said in a deep voice. His meaning was obvious, when the official team of evolutionaries did not grow, they would never do it lightly.
"You're gambling!"
Li Ba's tone was a little dissatisfied.
"Do you have any good suggestions?" Liang Shaoping asked with a smile.
"At least...... Let's start with our allies! ”
"I see what you mean!"
Liang Shaoping turned his head to look at Li Ba and said slowly: "The green wolf is unruly, and Cao Bin is as cunning as a fox. There is only one Si Jiyue left...... There is a deep sense of disgust towards our officials. None of these three people are easy to win over, otherwise, we would have already taken action. ”
"That's because they're jealous."
Li Ba smiled and said: "If the partner is changed to my harvest firm, the green wolf will not talk about it, this guy has a holiday with me." The other two have great hopes that they will be able to win them over. ”
After hearing this, Liang Shaoping didn't think much about it, and directly gave a sentence: "If you can really win them over, what do you need, just ask, I will agree on behalf of the official." ”
"Okay."
A smile appeared on Li Ba's face. He just waited for Liang Shaoping's words.
Half an hour later, a consensus had been reached. Liang Shaoping authorized that Li Ba could negotiate with Cao Bin Si Jiyue on behalf of the official and offer lucrative terms.
"Xiao Li, the new grain varieties you have cultivated are very good, can you maintain a long-term supply?"
When Li Ba was about to say goodbye, Liang Shaoping suddenly said this.
"There is no problem with the grain seed, how much you want!"
Li Ba's reply was very crisp. However, he said one more thing: "Just as the formula of the Evolution Potion is your official baby pimple, the grain seed is the lifeblood of our harvest firm, you can sell it, if you want to cultivate the method, there is no way!" ”
Then, laughing and leaving.
After going back, Li Ba didn't even eat lunch and went to bed directly. He worked so hard these days, first practicing drawing talismans day and night. After coming out, I was busy for two whole days without closing my eyes. Now, you should also take a good rest, otherwise no matter how strong your physique is, you won't be able to hold on.
This night's sleep was very sound. It wasn't until late evening that I was woken up by the ringing of the intercom.
"Hey, it's the old man...... Okay, okay, seven o'clock in the evening, I'll be on time! ”
The call was made by Xue Taigong. This old man is extremely efficient, and he has already contacted Si Jiyue, the beautiful leader of the Storm Mercenary Group, and the other party promised to meet Li Ba in the evening.
The location is in the Xue family warehouse. According to the other party's request, Li Ba can only talk alone.
Li Ba hurriedly got up, bathed and changed clothes. After working for a while, it was already dark outside the window. He looked at his watch, and it was already six o'clock.
Si Jiyue made an appointment to meet at the Xue family's warehouse, and at the same time asked Li Ba to go to the appointment alone. Obviously, the other party didn't want outsiders to know that he had contact with Li Ba. Equally. Li Ba didn't want to be known, he was in contact with Si Jiyue, and this matter had to be done in secret.
changed his outfit and deliberately brought a baseball cap to cover his iconic big bald head. Li Ba explained a few words to his sister, and then slipped out of the back door of the headquarters alone.
I went around and came to the street. Li Ba lowered the brim of his hat and walked faster.
The Xue family's warehouse is on the market side, and it will only take ten minutes. Li Ba has arrived. Seeing the gate of the warehouse, Xue Xiaoquan was standing there, looking around. Seeing Li Ba, he glanced at him and motioned for Li Ba to go in by himself.
Li Ba nodded, didn't say hello, and went directly into the Xue family's warehouse.
"Xiao Li!"
After entering, there was immediately a loud laugh from Xue Taigong. This one had already come to the warehouse and had been waiting for a long time.
"Old man!"
Li Ba took off his baseball cap and stepped forward to greet him with a grin.
With Xue Taigong came to the side of the warehouse. An office. The inside has long been arranged, the office items have been withdrawn, and there is a large table of good wine and food.
"Old man, let you work hard!"
Li Ba said with a smile.
"It's a little thing. Come, come and sit, let's talk! ”
Xue Taigong beckoned Li Ba to sit down. After that, he lowered his voice and said, "You ...... this time Are you ready to work hard with Long Sihai? ”
"Either he dies or I die."
Li Ba's tone was resolute. The reason why he didn't avoid it was because he wanted to test it. The position of the Xue family.
Sure enough, Xue Taigong's face became solemn. He groaned for a long time and said, "What do you need our Xue family to do?" ”
The old man's words have clearly stated his position and will stand on Li Ba's side.
Li Ba was not polite, and said directly: "When I join forces with the official, I hope the old man can pull a group of people to give support." ”
"It's come to this, old man, can I say no!"
Xue Taigong smiled and nodded. But between the eyebrows, there is a thick worry. This matter is not trivial, if there is a mistake, the entire Xue family will fall into a catastrophe.
"Old man, don't worry, if we don't do it, once we make a move, we will have an absolute chance of winning!" Li Ba gave the other party a promise.
Xue Taigong squinted and nodded. Then, with a smile on his face, he patted Li Ba's shoulder and said, "Xiao Li, the old man might as well make a heart-to-heart with you, if it was ten days ago, the old man would not follow you on an adventure." However, your actions have proven that the Harvest Merchant under your leadership can bring hope to all the survivors of Westport...... If nothing else, just for this reason, the old man is willing to follow you, even if he goes to the soup and fire, he will not hesitate! ”
It was clear to the old man that he was aware of everything that had happened recently, including the Harvest Firm's plan to reclaim farms and tenants to settle the livelihoods of the 100,000 refugees outside the city walls.
"I believe that as long as the dragon can be eradicated, Xibu City will become the happiest home for human survivors in the near future." Li Ba is confident.
"Okay, I'm waiting for this day!"
Xue Taigong stroked his beard and laughed.
Before Si Jiyue came, Li Ba and Xue Taigong talked secretly and chatted for a long time. The Xue family is low-key, and its real strength is definitely not weak, and there are also a number of trading houses under its command, and the condensed force will definitely not be weaker than any mercenary group in the city.
can catch the Xue family and tie it firmly to his chariot. For Li Ba, it adds a strong boost.
Xue Taigong happily stated his position, which made Li Ba very happy. The rest is to solve Si Jiyue's side and strive for something. (To be continued.) )
