Chapter 523: Preparations for Departure
The fantasy world of the Gu Qingji brothers was nothing more than the lives of two people, which was not much different from the present, and the two accepted it very quickly.
The one who showed the most obvious resistance was Xu Sa.
He was totally unable to accept his current life and even had a mental breakdown at the beginning. Zhuang Mingxu could only call Liu Rui back as soon as possible. Although he felt much better with Liu Rui's company, he was still in an abnormally low state every day.
Zhuang Mingxu remembered that Lu Weiyi once said that his dream was to be a diplomat. He had originally wanted to see if he was willing to be responsible for dealing with the various bases, but now he had to give up.
As the temperature began to drop, there was a large-scale shortage of purification cores that could be exchanged for other bases. Regardless of whether they had other intentions or not, the number of messages contacting Yueban Bay was countless every day.
Zhuang Mingxu planned to hand the matter over to the two newly promoted persons in charge and let them contact Ning Yuan and Lin Yimu.
Compared to Ning Yuan, who had just turned a corner and was as excited as if he was trying something new, Lin Yimu immediately noticed something was wrong, "What do you want to do?"
After all, he was a man who had trained countless outstanding special forces soldiers, and his sensitivity was unmatched by ordinary people. Zhuang Mingxu motioned for him to sit down, took out a stack of documents from the office drawer and handed them to him. On them were detailed plans for the military and political departments of the base.
"Our base was established in a hurry, and at that time the entire base was established relying on our core team members, so some functional departments were mainly composed of one team of members, and the management of many things was not very perfect."
In comparison, because of Lu Weiyi's laziness, the people under him in the military have to bear more responsibilities, and their division of responsibilities is clearer.
As for the government, because it was a process from scratch, Zhuang Mingxu basically had the final say and all matters would eventually be reported to him, which is why he has been very busy all the time.
Zhuang Mingxu himself has no special abilities, so having complete control over the base makes him feel more secure, so naturally he has not made any changes.
This is also one of the reasons why when you suddenly need someone to support the situation, you find that there is no one available.
"Now we are in a period of unity and development, and there are no conflicts for the time being, but in the long run, problems will arise sooner or later. I have recently made new arrangements and plans, improved our respective responsibilities, and added some departments that we originally lacked."
Lin Yimu took a quick look. The personnel changes were not small, but the core departments were still people they could trust. He closed the file and looked at Zhuang Mingxu sharply, "What do you mean?"
Zhuang Mingxu glanced at the dark night sky outside the window and suddenly asked, "Brother Damu, what is the lowest temperature at night now?"
The tail of the high temperature of “around 10 degrees” is slipping away quickly, and the temperature is changing every day.
"The forest... should be colder."
Lin Yimu knew who he was thinking of and was silent for a while. "Didn't Li Zhuang say that the mental shield he sent over was useful, and someone was able to get close to the young master, gave him a nutritional injection, and changed him to a more comfortable environment?"
"That's only a temporary solution, not a cure for the disease. Xu Sa, a man who managed to survive prison, is now silent all day long..." How strong can the character of Lu Weiyi, a young master who was brought up in pampering, be?
What’s more——
"I feel sorry for him." Zhuang Mingxu didn't want to see him suffer.
"you……"
"I'm going to find him," Zhuang Mingxu said with a determined look.
For two months, he hadn't said a word about leaving the base. All his thoughts and plans were for him to leave safely now.
"Brother Damu, if I don't take Ai Yi with me, what will happen..." Facing Lin Yimu's sudden glare, Zhuang Mingxu didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Take care of Ai Yi for us when we are away. If you have the energy left, keep the base firmly in your hands, so that we won't have no place to stand when we come back."
Lin Yimu did not respond to him, but reopened the documents he had arranged.
The military department was subdivided into different parts. In addition to Lu Weiyi, the original commander-in-chief, Ning Yuan became the deputy commander, responsible for the dispatch of all base troops. In addition to the combat team, there was also a logistics department.
The logistics department of the military includes some daily supplies and weapons reserves, etc. It has always been in charge of Lin Yimu. Now it has been divided into two departments and other people have been appointed.
In addition to the deputy base director whom he recently promoted, the government now has the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Agricultural Production.
Except for the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who is yet to be determined, the Ministry of Agricultural Production is responsible for the planting industry of the entire base. Previously, it has been in charge of Li Dongsheng and Bai Miao. Now it is officially handed over to Li Dongsheng as the primary person in charge and Bai Miao as the deputy.
The Ministry of Finance was handed over directly to him. Before Lin Yimu had the time to look at the responsibilities in detail, he heard Zhuang Mingxu explain, "The Finance Department here is responsible for all the materials and crystal cores of our base, including all the consumption of the military and political departments, as well as the crystal cores earned by each base."
Just hearing it sounds extremely troublesome.
Before Lin Yimu could refuse, Zhuang Mingxu said, “I know it’s not easy, but finance is the lifeline of a base’s development. The finances are in our own hands. Even if... the person who comes up has selfish motives and wants to attack you, he will be restricted financially.”
"Our Xiaoyi has no parents, and only because you are devoted to Xiaoyi and he is in your hands, I can leave with peace of mind."
He and Lu Weiyi had no one they could completely rely on and trust. Now that they thought about it carefully, it seemed that the only one was Lin Yimu, who had always treated Lu Weiyi as his own child. Zhuang Mingxu made this choice after careful consideration.
With financial support, Zhuang Aiyi also has someone to rely on.
"...Young Master..." Lin Yimu closed the file and did not say any more words of refusal. He paused for a moment and said weakly, "He will definitely be fine."
Zhuang Mingxu just smiled and said nothing.
"Which of the two base commanders you selected do you think is better?" Lin Yimu has always been involved in military affairs and has little contact with the government, especially since these two are the newest to emerge.
Zhuang Mingxu took out a few thin sheets of paper and handed them to Lin Yimu. On them were the detailed information of the two persons in charge whom he had newly promoted.
Hu Gang, male, 42 years old, was a government official before the end of the world. When he was young, he rose through the ranks from a village official to the Municipal Party Committee Office, and his abilities are unquestionable. What reassures Zhuang Mingxu is that he has a stable family. His wife is an ordinary water-based mutant. They have a harmonious family relationship and have a son and a daughter.
My fourteen-year-old son joined the base army, and my six-year-old daughter has a health problem and needs to be hospitalized from time to time.
Going further up, there is only one mother-in-law, and the family relationships are simple, without too much involvement.
The other Kong Zhen is in his fifties. He was a retired soldier when he was young, and later founded his own electronics company, which was considered a very promising enterprise in China before the end of the world. Zhuang Mingxu had worked with him several times before. He was an interesting old man who refused to admit defeat and refused to acknowledge his age.
Unfortunately, his network of interpersonal relationships is rather complicated. When he came to Yuebanwan, he brought his company employees with him. In addition, his family is involved in various industries in Yuebanwan, so it is very easy for such a person to gain a foothold.
"Hu Gang is easier to control," Lin Yimu said rationally.
"Yes," Zhuang Mingxu also prefers the former in his heart, "Now it depends on their ability."
The good control he hoped for was just to prevent him from colluding with external forces because of a series of relationships, and not to be his own puppet. This required him to have sufficient capabilities, especially when coordinating the various departments of the base.
"This will be their last assessment. I have divided the team that recently requested to exchange crystal cores with us into two groups. They will be in charge and deploy the team on their own for half a month. The one who can complete the task better will be the next person in charge."
Lin Yimu only realized something was wrong at the last minute. He was unaware of the series of preparations that Zhuang Mingxu had made in the government department, and could not express much opinion at this time. He just stared at the several new heads of logistics and quartermaster departments recommended by the military for a long time and selected two people, "They are more suitable and have less selfish motives."
"Okay," Zhuang Mingxu agreed readily, "The military will hold a meeting tomorrow morning, and Ning Yuan will sort out the job changes of these people. The government will hold a meeting in the afternoon, and everyone will get acquainted with each other then, and they will officially take office the day after tomorrow."
It was a swift and decisive move, and it was clear that there was no room for maneuver, so Lin Yimu had no choice but to agree.
The next morning, the base completed a new round of appointments from the military and political circles and the improvement of various functional departments. This time, many people smelled a different atmosphere, and various forces began to try every means to find out the news.
However, this matter was led by Zhuang Mingxu alone, and the other members of the team noticed something was wrong.
Soon after, Yuebanwan began to trade crystal cores with various bases again in a big way, preparing for the last transaction this winter.
Hu Gang and Kong Zhen were both eager to work hard, which alleviated the depressed atmosphere in the entire base to a great extent. However, Zhuang Mingxu, who had been busy all the time, became idle.
He had Zhuang Aiyi brought back from the Kyoto base, and would take him out and about every day, as if to make up for the lack of companionship in the past.
Zhuang Aiyi seemed to have noticed something as well. He followed Zhuang Mingxu obediently every day as if he was patrolling the territory. He would take a tour of some places in the base that he had never been to before and carefully write down everything Zhuang Mingxu said to him.
For several days, the child became more and more silent. When Zhuang Mingxu asked him if he needed him to sleep with him at night, tears silently flowed down his face.
"What's wrong?" Zhuang Mingxu held the child on his lap, wiping his tears while asking.
“Big Dad, are you going to die?” Zhuang Aiyi looked up at him, tears in his eyes. As he blinked, the tears fell down his chubby cheeks. His voice was wet. “In the cartoon, Maomao’s mother was sick and dying, so she took him with her every day and prepared a lot of food for him…”
