Chapter 2059 The Arrogance of Civil Officials



As Lin Yu expected, the Ba Kingdom did indeed send people to Yandu.

Moreover, it was Tony, Xiao Ni's younger brother, who personally led the team. They were very sincere, directly asking someone to find Feng Jiu and sending her ten boxes of small yellow croakers.

Feng Jiu came to Lin Yu to report on this matter.

"Gold bars? I wouldn't even look at them! They're practically worthless in South America!"

Lin Yu curled his lip in disdain. Others treat gold bars like treasures, but in reality, Dragon Phoenix Pavilion's gold reserves are thicker than the Federal Reserve's. Why would they care about such a small thing?

"Didn't you just say you wanted to help?" Feng Jiu asked, looking puzzled.

"Of course I'll help! But I can't do this for free!" Lin Yu smiled calmly. Having run his business for so many years, he, Lin Shaoshuai, had never allowed anyone to do something for free.

"Then, young marshal, what conditions do you want?" Feng Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Their rainforest is quite nice!"

Lin Yu shook his head, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Wood is dead. It dies as soon as it's moved. What value does it have? But I saw in the Records of Mountains and Seas that South America has quite rich mineral resources, right in the Banan area. Go and negotiate for me. I want the development rights for Banan for ten years!"

"Banan?" Feng Jiu was slightly surprised. He knew that place; it was a very desolate and barren land. He wondered why the young marshal thought so highly of it.

However, his master has always been farsighted and his investment vision is hundreds of thousands of years ahead, so he is naturally right. Therefore, he accepted the order and carried it out.

Watching Feng Jiu's departing figure, Lin Yu's smile grew even brighter. In fact, Banan not only has mineral resources, but is also the location of an ancient secret realm. This secret realm only exists in myths and legends, and has never been found in later generations.

Although I have now entered the realm of immortality, I am still far from reaching the level of a celestial being. In the Dharma-ending Age, the connection between heaven and earth is severed, making ascension to immortality impossible.

Therefore, we can only rely on resources!

If we find this secret realm, it might be our chance to soar to great heights!

Oh right, there's still one last trace of the aura of the emperor that we haven't found.

If one can find the last wisp of the Nine-Five Qi and become the Supreme Nine-Nine, one can step from the acquired to the innate and become an immortal on the spot. This is also a path!

...

Yandu.

The reception room for foreign guests at Zhongbeihai.

A dark-skinned man was sitting in the living room, anxiously smoking a Cuban cigar.

After a moment, Zhan Wenwu walked in from outside the reception room with a smile on his face.

"Vice President Tony, hello, I'm Zhan Wenwu!"

The dark-skinned man quickly stood up and extended his hand to shake mine. "Hello, Leader Zhan! I didn't expect you to come in and greet me personally!"

Zhan Wenwu smiled slightly, "The Kingdom of Ba is a friendly country of our Great Xia. Although we are not neighbors, our two countries have a long history of diplomatic relations..."

"Leader Zhan, I've come here to meet Young Marshal Lin!"

This sudden interruption left Zhan Wenwu slightly stunned.

It should be understood that for a cabinet member to receive such an attitude is extremely disrespectful and impolite.

But it's clear that Tony is really anxious and worried.

“Vice President Tony, what do you mean by this? Our leader Zhan is the brain of the entire Great Xia, while Marshal Lin is merely the leader of the Fengtian clique within our Great Xia military. You come to our Great Xia and you want to see him first? Isn’t that extremely impolite?”

The assistant official next to Zhan Wenwu couldn't stand it any longer and said sternly.

In fact, these civil officials held military officers in contempt, especially those who rose through the ranks via the imperial examinations, who were particularly averse to military generals. This was mainly due to the deep-seated influence of Neo-Confucianism, and even with modernization, these deeply ingrained ideas remained unchanged.

Since ancient times, they have divided people into different classes, with studying making one a superior person. There's a saying: "In books, you'll find beauty and wealth." Frankly, it's about achieving success through utilitarian means. How can such a mindset be considered good?

Fortunately, Zhan Wenwu was a student mentored by Master Pang, and his thinking followed the same lineage as Master Pang and his teachers, so he wasn't so pedantic. He also didn't think Tony had any problems.

Indeed, the current situation and the general trend are entirely due to Marshal Lin's support. Without Marshal Lin, the Great Xia might have perished long ago.

At this time, the Great Xia Dynasty was undergoing an unprecedented upheaval in its five thousand years of history. With the great abilities of Marshal Lin, who else could compare to him!

"Minister Zhou, you mustn't be rude!"

Zhan Wenwu gave a reprimand, then smiled and said to Tony, "Comrade Vice President, Marshal Lin is usually quite busy, and even I rarely get to see him. But if you have anything to say, you can talk to me, and I can pass it on for you!"

Tony shook his head. "There's no time. We've received news that the Japanese have sent 20,000 ninjas to infiltrate our country, and there are also experts trying to assassinate my brother. Right now, only Young Marshal Lin can help my brother and protect our country!"

"Oh?" Zhan Wenwu was very shocked. Even he didn't know this news. He didn't expect that Ba Kingdom and Japan had reached this point. Although there was no open war, 20,000 ninjas were not to be underestimated. This was almost a life-or-death struggle, and the true colors had been revealed.

"Your Excellency, General Feng Jiu, the commander of the Feng Army, has arrived! She's outside!"

Just as Zhan Wenwu was about to speak, a messenger came up to report.

Zhan Wenwu was just worrying about how to solve such a big problem when, unexpectedly, Marshal Lin delivered a godsend.

So he quickly said, "Please come in quickly!"

Before long, a handsome man with fair skin walked in from outside.

"You are General Feng Jiu? Oh, that's wonderful! I've finally been waiting for you!"

Tony rushed over and grabbed Feng Jiu's arm, as excited as if he had seen a family member.
