Chapter 392: Adopting a Godgrandson
Si Ning asked him to sit next to the triplets: "Was Xiaojiu like this before?"
Old Man Miao smiled and nodded: "Just like the triplets, they cry when they see me, and they only like to stick to their mother. I can only see them when they are asleep."
Si Ning had always wondered who these three children looked like, but now there was no doubt about it, they definitely looked like Xiaojiu.
I'm afraid she will be a headache when she grows up.
Think about how Xiaojiu went through a lot when he was a child.
Miao Jiu had already asked Miao Long to drive to the hotel entrance.
He walked straight in with Miao Long.
Siming was sitting on the sofa in the hall. When he saw him come in, he waved at him: "Here."
Miao Jiu turned and walked towards where he was. "Have you finished searching?"
"Not yet. There are quite a few rooms in the hotel, and I have collected a lot of interesting things." Si Ming said with a smile on his lips.
"What are these things?" Miao Jiu felt that these things would not be simple.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see it." Siming stood up and looked at Miao Jiu.
Miao Jiu got up and followed him to an empty room where the floor was filled with a lot of things.
He squatted on the ground and looked at the things on the ground. In addition to the guns mentioned on the phone, there was also opium and a telegraph machine.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this restaurant is such a mixed bag, there's everything."
Siming looked at the telegraph in front of him and said, "This thing is relatively new. It must have been hidden here. As for who it was sent to, it's hard to say."
"Let me see the hotel's check-in list." Miao Jiu felt a headache looking at these things.
A soldier handed him a roster and said, "Master Jiu, it's all on it."
Miao Jiu looked at the room numbers, and then looked at the room numbers. Some of them were checked in by one person multiple times, but some were not.
"When it comes to tracking down someone, we should look for Meng Yanxin. It would be much harder for us to find her than it would for her."
"Meng Yanxin doesn't know the situation yet, and it may take some time for her to come back." Si Ming also thought about this problem.
Now that no one is around, they can only resort to clumsy methods.
"Miao Long, write down the names of the guests who have stayed in these rooms and have your men check them. Don't alarm them."
Miao Jiu handed the booklet in his hand to Miao Long behind him.
"I'll go right away." Miao Long took the booklet and left the room.
"General Niu, are you here to buy food this time?" Miao Jiu asked about General Niu when he saw that there was no outsider here.
"Not entirely." Siming told him what had happened in the past two days.
"I'm here to increase your military strength." Miao Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"Maintaining an army is not that easy. Just look at how we maintain the army in Beiyang City now."
"This is the result of our joint efforts. If there were so many more mouths to feed, I think it would be very difficult." Siming felt a headache just thinking about it.
"If you refuse, then the military power in General Niu's hands will fall into the hands of the enemy, which will cause you even more headaches." Miao Jiu also saw it clearly.
General Niu’s military power has both advantages and disadvantages, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
"Do you think I should take over?" Siming turned and looked at him.
"In the current situation, you have enough troops and firepower. The people from the Northern Government would have to think twice before making any move against you."
"He's saying he's a godson now, but it's actually to save you some unnecessary trouble."
"It will be legitimate to give you the military power in the future." Miao Jiu looked at Siming.
"I understand that, but behind this military power are the people of the city."
"To be honest, if we were closer to Beiyang City, we would have taken it over, but there are still some cities in between. Do you think these people would have any ideas?"
"The most troublesome thing will be that distant water cannot quench immediate thirst." Siming thought more than Miao Jiu.
Miao Jiu frowned slightly: "You are not wrong to say that. Then why don't you try to establish some connections with the people around you."
"We are trying it now. We hope they can think the same as us." Si Ming hopes that they can stand on the same front with him.
When they face the outside world with a united front, they can also have more cooperation.
"General Niu also understood, so he recognized him as his godson and wanted to give you time to coordinate." Miao Jiu looked at Siming and said.
"Think about it again. Now, apart from high-yield grain, it's hard to say what else we can do." Si Ming could only shake his head helplessly.
"By the way, the new machine tool has been delivered. I plan to take Juanjuan and Achen to clean up when I have time." After saying this, Miao Jiu remembered that he hadn't seen the two little guys for a long time.
"Where are they?" he asked Siming.
"Mom took them and General Niu and his wife out for a walk." Siming looked at him.
"Okay, there's no need to rush to send these machine tools over. Let's wait until Governor Niu and the others leave."
"I think you can consider some of Governor Niu's suggestions. He is not going to give up his position to you right now." After saying this, Miao Jiu patted his shoulder and prepared to leave.
Thinking of the triplets at home, he still felt a little worried.
"Yeah." Si Ming nodded and watched him leave the restaurant.
Madam Si took Governor Niu and the others for a stroll on the streets of Beiyang City, introducing them to anything that interested them.
Mrs. Niu saw a lot of new things, including transparent soap, bamboo lamps, transparent colorful raincoats and umbrellas.
There are also milk tea shops with long queues.
Each one is a new experience for them: "You Beiyang City really has a lot of good things."
"Haha, if you like it, bring some back when you go back." Mrs. Si said with a smile.
"I don't just want to take it back, I actually want to sell it. I just wonder if you can introduce me to a way." Mrs. Niu asked with a smile, holding her hand.
"You want to sell it?" Mrs. Si was a little surprised.
"You know, we have an army here, and the expenses are enough to feed us. If we don't do some business, we won't be able to support them soon."
Mrs. Niu was not lying. The annual military expenditure is a huge sum.
If she had not learned business from her family since she was a child and used the money and grain that Governor Niu helped her to rob to do business, how could they have raised an army.
Madam Si nodded and said, "That's true. If you like something, just tell Si Tian. He's the one who came up with all these novelties."
"How come your children are all so outstanding? Each one of them is outstanding." Mrs. Niu couldn't help but feel envious.
"Well! They just like it, so let them do it themselves!" Old Madam Si did not give all the credit to Juanjuan.
The fewer people who know about Juanjuan’s specialness, the better protection it is for her.
A few people came to the teahouse and saw the owner standing at the door with a sad face.
