Xing Feiyan returned to Huangmo Pass, the Fang family members were either dead or scattered, and Baituo Town was back in the hands of the Major General. This was the news Lin Rui received after Xing Lie and his son returned.
After Xing Feiyan came back, she lived in the general's mansion with her son, turning a deaf ear to the outside world and looking like she was devoted to her beloved. She is still in confinement after giving birth and cooperated very well in returning Baituo Town to Xing Lie. She probably learned through this incident that most men in the world are evil, and only her father and brothers from the same mother are the best to her.
She also figured it out. As long as the Xing family was there, she, Xing Feiyan, would be fine. If the Xing family was not there, she would not be able to get away with anything even if she found out about what the Fang family had done this time. Without her father and brother holding power in Huangmo Pass, who would dare to confront Commander Fang?
When the Major General returned to the camp and told Han Wenjing about this, he clapped his hands happily, "Great, great, this is great. The Fang family is gone, and White Camel Town is back. From now on, our Flying Tiger Camp's small private treasury will be even more prosperous."
Mentioning this, Xing Lie coughed a few times and exchanged a glance with Lin Rui. When their eyes met, Lin Rui gave Xing Lie a look that told him to fend for himself. Facing Han Wenjing, who was so eager to save every penny he could, this matter was indeed a bit of a blow.
Xing Lie said, "Master Han, I'm afraid the food supply of the Flying Tiger Battalion will have to be reduced appropriately in the future."
Han Wenjing's smile froze and he looked at Xing Lie: "What do you mean, Young General?"
Xu Shaoxuan's question was filled with surprise and uncertainty: "I saw the soldiers of the East and West Camps reorganizing today. Could it be..."
Xing Lie nodded: "Yes, the old general has handed over all the military power in his hands to me. From now on, there is no old general or major general in Huangmo Pass. There is only me, General Xing!"
"The general is mighty!" Everyone congratulated Xing Lie.
Xing Lie was also in a good mood at the moment. He extended his hands to support the capable officials around him and said, "I appreciate your kindness. I will have to trouble you all to work harder to govern Huangmo Pass better in the future."
Huang Moguan completely became Xing Lie's, and Lin Rui, his right-hand man, naturally began to work hard.
The space in his mansion is now not just for taking things in and out. The computer in the room can actually be used to look up information. However, it has not yet been upgraded to have functions that can connect with modern technology. It is unknown whether Lin Rui will see this day in his lifetime.
If it could be connected with the modern times, allowing netizens to see him, an ordinary person, working hard in ancient times, and opening a live broadcast room, the account would probably earn over 100 million yuan every day. How refreshing it would be, a live broadcast room connecting two worlds.
The function of looking up information is also very powerful. Although food preservatives and additives are modern chemical products, after understanding the principles, ancient people were able to make crude versions of them, which could at least extend the shelf life of food.
Immediately afterwards, Huangmoguan's cement, soap, glass and other extremely luxurious products compared to ancient times came into being, all of which were made by Lin Rui.
Cement was paved on the main roads of Huangmoguan. After it dried, it became an extremely flat road. Horses and ox carts could run on it effortlessly, and people could push carts and wheelbarrows on it easily and labor-savingly.
The sections of road to be built were all contracted out by Lin Rui according to the contracting system. Each section was open to public bidding. Men, women, and children from countless villages came carrying hoes and farm tools to claim them. Building roads was a good thing for them. In addition, this time they did not work for free or perform forced labor. Lord Lin of Huangmo Pass would pay them!
The prosperity of cement, soap and glass attracted not only ordinary people, but also businessmen who were used to doing business. If the hot pot factory that was once prosperous was a small business, then now products like cement are in great demand. Countless merchants came to Huangmoguan with a carriage full of silver bills to do business.
This time it is not a small fight. Lin Rui is confident enough to negotiate business with the merchants. He has the entire Xing family army behind him to support him. He is no longer the person who is afraid of being robbed and killed for giving out something good.
Huangmo Pass is much more prosperous than before. Even some of the previously dead towns in Baixing Town are now populated, and the number of people is increasing. The once dead places have become popular again.
With the interviews of these new products like Lin Rui, the financial problems that had previously troubled Huangmo Pass were no longer a problem. Money continued to fill the granaries like rice. The 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers in the military camp had gone from eating meat every day to wearing armor and then ice blades, as if it were a dream.
It can be said that apart from not being able to fight, Lord Lin is really an expert at making money. Even his soldiers are armed to the teeth with money.
Nowadays, everyone who left the Lin family, including Lin Changxi, Lin Changtai, and Lin Changhe, was respectfully addressed as Master Lin. They were treated with care wherever they went, and no one dared to neglect them. Are you kidding me? These were the relatives of Master Lin from Huangmo Pass. Without Master Lin, there would be no Huangmo Pass as prosperous as it is today.
Lin Changtai, Lin Changxi and others also knew their limits and were kind to others. They praised General Xing for his keen eye for talent, otherwise Lin Rui would still be running a small business in the Lin workshop.
Lin Rui was also afraid of being overwhelmed by his achievements. Whenever Han Wenjing and others praised him, he would wave his hands repeatedly and say, "I don't deserve it. It's the great general's kindness that has brought vitality to Huangmo Pass."
Chen Zhidong, however, understood Lin Rui's mentality quite well and couldn't help but laugh: "Let's not brag like that in front of General Xing. I guess our Lord Lin is afraid that the Xing family army will kill him for his achievements!"
Xing Lie, who was drinking water, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of water and looked at Lin Rui with amusement: "You don't really think so, do you?"
Lin Rui was embarrassed: "Hahaha, how could that be!"
When everyone saw his expression, they laughed even more happily: "I'll tell you what I'll tell you!"
Well, it's best if you can see it and say it out loud. Sometimes people just can't be too good. Ugh, that's really annoying.
Xing Lie patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my Lord Lin. As long as my Xing family exists, no one can shake the safety of your Lin family."
Lin Rui rubbed his hands eagerly: "We are fully prepared. When do you plan to send troops to Yishu Pass?"
A mortal feud had already been formed with Yishu Pass, and the reason for holding back was that they were worried that food and grass would not be supplied once a war broke out. After all, Huangmo Pass had previously accepted hundreds of thousands of refugees, occupying a lot of military rations.
Now that Lin Rui has earned back the food and weapons through his business, it is time to take action against Yishu Pass. If he doesn't overthrow this unjust place, it would be a shame for the suffering Lin Rui has endured there.
After the Marquis of Xinyang and his two sons failed in their assassination attempt on the Major General of Huangmo Pass, they immediately tried to flatter the leader of the refugees in Xiding Pass and seek an alliance. For some reason, the leader of the refugees in Xiding Pass, who had always hated the Marquis of Xinyang, actually agreed to their request.
