Lin Rui never expected that after joining the Xing family army, he would receive the highest treatment and even have his own bodyguards when he went out.
It is said that these four soldiers are the best fighters, and are among the top three in the military competition. Now they are all assigned to be his bodyguards, which is really a waste of their talents.
Now Lin Rui has transformed himself into the Flying Tiger Camp's Headquarters, which is equivalent to the shogunate in ancient big families. However, because it is in the military camp, it is changed to the Headquarters. His colleagues include Han Wenjing, Lin Pingyu, Xu Shaoxuan and Chen Zhidong, all of whom are Xing Lie's right-hand men along the way.
He knew that Han Wenjing was a general manager, who was aware of many matters under his command. Even if one of them could not come or was too busy to spare time, he could help deal with it immediately; Xu Shaoxuan was in charge of military supplies, and was familiar with the quantity and degree of damage of various armors and weapons. He spent most of his time in the military supply depot every day.
Chen Zhidong was in charge of the supervision and allocation of food and fodder, ensuring that the limited food and fodder could be maximized and lasted longer; Lin Pingyu was in charge of the overall coordination of troops, and was a master of military strategy. It was he who turned the tide in the few battles in which the Xing family army suffered defeat.
Xing Lie was their immediate superior, the one who assigned them tasks. However, there was no such thing as slacking off in the camp, and he had been so busy these past few days that he was practically invisible, with only Sanliang and four bodyguards guarding the camp to keep him company.
Lin Rui felt unworthy of the award. Was he really drawing a salary without working for it?
Even if he dreamed of being a poor boy in his previous life, he is in this position now. His boss and colleagues are all very nice. He can lie down and play as he pleases, and they pay him a salary and even prepare lunch for him. With such treatment, he would feel guilty if he wanted to continue to be a bad boy!
It was a rare occasion when everyone was working in the camp, even the major general who was always either in training or on his way to training was there. Everyone was busy dealing with official business, only the table in front of Lin Rui was empty.
"Cough cough!" He tried to attract everyone's attention by coughing.
As a result, no one paid any attention to him and everyone continued to work hard.
"Cough cough!" He coughed even louder, and accidentally cut off his breath. What was originally a small cough turned into a deafening cough.
Lin Pingyu, who was closest to him, quickly came over to pat his back and said, "Hey, Master Lin, are you okay?"
The other three also put down their work and asked worriedly, "What's going on?"
Lin Rui finally calmed down his cough and waved his hands: "It's okay, it's okay, I choked on my saliva."
After confirming that Lin Rui was fine, Han Wenjing smiled and teased, "Major General, it seems that Lord Lin was not choked by his saliva, but was just tired of resting in the camp."
Xing Lie knocked on the wooden table with one hand and said with a smile, "I didn't realize that Lord Lin was thinking about our Flying Tiger Battalion so much. He would be restless if he didn't do anything for a day."
This compliment... Lin Rui was also shameless: "It's not that I have such a noble character, but the major general gave me a salary, but I have nothing to do in the army. It's really too hot to handle!"
Xing Lie laughed heartily: "Lord Lin, there's no need to think so. You'll be busy soon."
Lin Rui pretended to listen carefully: "Does the Major General have any plans for his subordinates already?"
Xing Lie said, "Indeed, I'll have to trouble you with this matter. Huangmo Pass is now full of disaster victims, and the wasteland has been reclaimed. The next good harvest will not come until May or June next year. The Xing family army's money and food are dwindling. I would like to ask Lord Lin to do his best to improve the livelihood of the people in the Huangmo Pass area, just as he did when he ran the Lin's Workshop."
Wow! The young general really dared to think that. The Lin's workshop was already large enough before. Now that the entire Huangmo Pass has been revitalized, the Lin's workshop is just a small thing compared to it.
Han Wenjing also nodded: "The development of a place is inseparable from commerce, and if Huangmoguan has no commerce, it will still be as lifeless as stagnant water. This is incomparable to reclaiming more wasteland."
Chen Zhidong seconded the proposal: "We are indeed not as good as Lord Lin in making money, otherwise we would not be so poor now."
"Master Lin, please take more care of the people's livelihood in Huangmoguan."
It’s such a big deal!
Xing Lie: "If Lord Lin needs any help or financial support, please feel free to ask. I will definitely find a way to satisfy you!"
This trust is incredible!
Lin Rui asked tentatively: "What if the business fails?"
Xing Lie laughed and said, "There's no such thing as a guaranteed profit in business. If you lose money, my Xing family will cover it for you."
"Okay." Lin Rui also responded. Once he entered the eyes of the noble, he had to climb higher to prove his ability.
However, Lin Rui was a little curious: "Speaking of business, hasn't Baituo Town already developed to a certain scale? Why do we have to start from scratch and seek development in Huangmo Pass?"
Speaking of this, Xing Lie's expression was not very good.
Xu Shaoxuan explained to Lin Rui, "Baituo Town is now the property of the eldest lady. General Xing divided the territory between the young lady and the young general, and Baituo Town is now under the jurisdiction of the young lady."
When it comes to this matter, everyone on Xing Lie's side is extremely angry. It is obvious that Baituo Town was built up by the young general with hard work. It brought together all kinds of talented craftsmen, which made Baituo Town prosperous today.
In the past, when the people of Baituo Town left and no grass grew, and it was almost a barren land, the eldest lady did not seem to want this place.
Now it has developed rapidly and become the Jiangnan outside the Great Wall. It’s too late to pick peaches!
The old general was also confused. Did he think that giving Baituo Town to the young lady would settle the dispute? This would only increase the appetite of the young lady and her husband, and put the young general in an even more difficult situation.
Lin Rui nodded to show that he understood. When he was talking with Wang Da before, he also heard about the internal conflicts in the Xing family. Tsk tsk, every family has its own problems. Too many concubines and too many illegitimate sons and daughters will cause chaos because of fighting for the family property. But he didn't expect that brothers from the same mother could turn against each other!
Lin Rui went home after finishing his shift, and the four bodyguards took turns on duty. Perhaps only Lin Rui himself did not know that the Xing family army had already regarded him as a fragile God of Wealth and had to protect him at all costs.
As for San Liang! The Major General thought he was a good candidate for martial arts training and had already handed him over to Lieutenant General Wang for training. Lieutenant General Wang patted his chest and promised that after a month, he would be able to return Lin Rui to a level of martial arts so powerful that more than a dozen people could not easily get close to San Liang.
A dozen people? If a dozen people were to get close, they would have to carry three or two people at a time. How could they not be able to get close?
Lin Rui felt that Lieutenant General Wang was bullying himself.
"Rui'er, how was your duty today?" Lin Changxi asked hurriedly. Lin Changtai, Lin Changhe and others beside him were also looking at him expectantly. No matter whether he was in the military camp or not, he was still an official after all. He was the first person in their Lin family's Zi generation to serve in the government.
