Chapter 1020, Internal Meeting

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu’s room with them was already packed with people.

Big Flip, Zhang Xiaoman, Wang Yun, P5092, Wang Fugui, and Jiang Wu surrounded Ren Xiaosu in a circle.

Ren Xiaosu calmly sat on the sofa, “Tell me, how did you find me?”

Zhang Xiaoman laughed cheerfully, “Our side was preparing to catch all the spies in Barrier 144 in the same way we caught Luo Zongren before, but we didn’t expect to catch the Major!”

Ren Xiaosu: “……”

The big lug on the side kicked Zhang Xiaoman in the ass, “Can you speak? What do you mean you caught the Major!”

Zhang Xiaoman’s anger value was full in a flash, but considering that he couldn’t beat Big Snub either, he put his anger back.

And Ren Xiaosu then realized that it was Wang Yun who had found himself through the surveillance video.

This could not be helped, wanting to hide under the eyes of someone like Wang Yun was indeed extremely difficult.

The big lulu laughed: “Major ah, why didn’t you tell us when you came back to the Northwest this time.”

“I just want to rest for a while, after all, there are too many days of fighting and killing in the Central Plains,” Ren Xiaosu explained, “As a result, this rare time of peace and quiet has been shattered by you guys.”

“You can’t say that,” the big lulu laughed cheerfully, “If you had greeted us in advance, we wouldn’t have come to bother you, ah.”

“Then you guys go back first, and remember not to reveal my identity to my neighbors,” Ren Xiaosu said.

“That’s a bit late,” Zhang Xiaoman said cheekily, “I’m just afraid that you, Major Marshal, don’t want to go back to preside over the 144th Barrier’s big picture yet, so I specifically explained to the soldiers to tell your neighbors that this is the Major Marshal’s residence …… ”

Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows and wanted to kick Zhang Xiaoman in the face right then and there.

In the end, it was P5092 who stepped forward to relieve the situation, “Major, the various other barriers are actually no longer under the administration of the army, but Barrier 144 is still taken over by the 6th Combat Brigade, which means that Commander Zhang also wishes for you to govern this barrier.”

In general, the army was the army and the administrative system was the administrative system.

Now that the 178th Fortress Force had taken over the various barriers also because of special circumstances, and now that new administrators had been filled in the various positions, it was time for the army to return to its own duties.

It could be said that the administrative system and the military system were like two complementary lines, intersecting but not on the same track, which was the difference between civilian and military officials.

But Barrier 144 was different, it was still the Sixth Combat Brigade that took over all the power, and Zhang Jinglin’s meaning seemed clear, it was to hand over Barrier 144 to Ren Xiaosu for a small test run.

None of Commander Zhang’s current ideas were explicitly stated, basically a hint, Zhang Xiaoman big snub they understood.

P5092 said: ”Major, our commerce on the 144th Barrier side has been unhindered, President Wang Fugui Wang has handled all of this properly, and the Chamber of Commerce is internally organized and very reassuring. On the Underworld side, we have Miss Zhou Yingxue maintaining order, and we all agree that she has made the best use of her talents in the black market. The only problem that remains is the food crisis and the possibility of war. I don’t think we have that much time to waste, do you want to make a trip to Fortress 178 and meet Commander Zhang? See what he has planned.”

Ren Xiaosu shook his head, “Let’s not go first.”

If he went, it would be considered as officially accepting Zhang Jinglin’s arrangement, and further on, he would be the true and genuine Major Commander of the Northwest Army, and would need to take on the responsibility of the entire Northwest.

But Ren Xiaosu really wasn’t ready for this, not that he was pretentious or anything.

Let’s do something practical at Barrier 144 first, and see what happens as we go.

“One thing at a time,” Ren Xiaosu called out to Zhou Yingxue outside the door, “Come in.”

Zhou Yingxue washed away her previous look of sorrow and came in, first greeting Yang Xiaoguan before slowly walking to Ren Xiaosu’s side.

Ren Xiaosu asked, “Did I ask you before, did you use my name to get things done, how did you answer?”

Zhou Yingxue whispered, “I didn’t engage in anything ah, master you think ah, I don’t get the black market, sooner or later there will be someone else don’t get. This kind of thing in their own hands, always better than in the hands of others.”

“Is there any bullying?”

“No, absolutely not, I just collect the handling fee, never do blackmail things.”

“Have you committed any crimes?”

“No, everyone is still quite obedient, master if you don’t believe it you can ask Wang Yuchi them, they are honest ……”

Ren Xiaosu looked at Big Snob: “What does Mr. Zhang think of this black market?”

“Indeed, as Miss Zhou Yingxue said, Commander Zhang also feels that it’s better to control it in his own hands, water until it’s clear, there’s no fish, it’s impossible for the black market to disappear completely,” said Big Huyao.

“Alright,” Ren Xiaosu breathed a sigh of relief, “Zhou Yingxue you must be careful with your words on your side, don’t think that you’re so powerful that you’ll act arbitrarily.”

“Master you can rest assured, don’t you understand me, I have my measure!” Zhou Yingxue sighed in relief, she knew that this matter of her opening the black market was over, and in the future, the black market would not need to be disbanded.

Ren Xiaosu looked at Wang Fugui again, “How is the Chamber of Commerce on your side, are there any difficulties to be solved?”

Wang Fugui smiled cheerfully, “There is no difficulty, my side is to let Xiaosu you discuss with Zhou Yingxue girl, his eight vajra can not always stay in the black market, although the road to the Central Plains is peaceful, but from time to time there will still be some people desperate to take risks, so this road needs someone to go out and escort.”

“OK, this matter is not negotiable,” Ren Xiaosu said to Wang Yuchi, “You eight people will follow the caravan in the future, don’t stay in the black market at a young age, that’s not the place you should stay. Follow your Uncle Fugui to go out more, see the world, when the grassland road opens up you will also go to the grassland to see.”

Zhou Yingxue’s face instantly sank, Ren Xiaosu said to her, “This black market of yours is right next to the barriers, if there’s really anything you can just call out to Zhang Xiaoman, don’t tether Wang Yuchi and the others. Besides, no one dares to mess with you.”

Zhou Yingxue was immediately overjoyed with this promise: “Alright, with this sentence from you, Master, it’s fine, after all, my ability is not suitable to go out on a regular basis.”

Immediately afterward, Ren Xiaosu asked to P5092, “What adjustments do you think need to be made to the armament?”

“The new year’s conscription needs to start in time,” P5092 said thoughtfully, “Barrier 144 is the closest to the Central Plains, and if there’s a war this place will bear the brunt of it, so a brigade formation isn’t enough, a division is needed. On my side, I need to expand the scout company into a scout battalion and spread them all across the border so that we’re not still an afterthought if Wang strikes anything.”
