Yan Laoxi almost vomited blood when he found out that Chu Yunfei had obtained the gold mine!
He had been in charge of these places for so many years. He would never have thought that there would be a gold mine in that desolate place!
It was a chaotic world now. Who in China didn't lack money?
Not to mention warlords like them who led troops. They had so many people under them. Which of them did not need money for weapons, equipment, food, and salaries?
If you don't feed your men and pay them, who will work for you?
However, such a good place was taken by Chu Yunfei, which Yan Laoxi couldn't accept!
"Pass on my order! Gather the troops and take back the little barren mountain!" Yan Laoxi shouted indignantly.”
As soon as Yan Laoxi finished speaking,
The chief of staff immediately went forward to stop him: " Officer Yan, you have to think twice about this. You have already punished Chu Yunfei in front of everyone, sending him to the small barren mountain."”
"It's fine if he wants to go by himself, but now you're bringing your troops there. Isn't it obvious that you want to snatch things? If this gets out, it won't be good for your reputation!”
"Besides, Chu Yunfei is a hero of the war. It has been spread in the newspapers recently. If you do this, it will easily arouse public anger!”
"What can we do?" Yan Laoxi said angrily. Are we just going to give him the gold mine?"
The chief of staff shook his head and said," That's definitely not possible. Chu Yunfei is your subordinate. You just have to order him to hand over two-thirds of it. Let him keep the rest."”
"In this way, you don't have to do anything. Let Chu Yunfei help us mine the gold mine. Moreover, if Chu Yunfei doesn't listen to orders, then you have a reason to punish him!”
Yan Laoxi thought for a moment and felt that it made sense.
In the end, Chu Yunfei was still his subordinate. He only needed to give him orders.
If Chu Yunfei didn't give it to him, he could use Chu Yunfei's disobedience as an excuse to directly send troops to attack Chu Yunfei!
If he sent troops to snatch it now, the world would think that he was being too unsightly.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yan Laoxi decided to adopt the Chief of Staff's idea.
At this moment, an officer rushed to Yan Laoxi.""Officer Yan, Brigadier Chu of the 358th Brigade has sent a report!”
Yan Laoxi took the report and opened it. It was about Chu Yunfei finding a gold mine.
It was written in detail that Chu Yunfei had found gold and iron mines and was preparing to mine them on a large scale. He also hoped that Officer Yan could rest assured that Chu Yunfei would give more than half of these things to Yan Laoxi. The rest is for my own use, I hope Officer Yan will approve!
The chief of staff laughed,"Officer Yan, I was right. Chu Yunfei himself wouldn't dare to hide it. If you send troops there, you'll lose your reputation completely!"”
Yan Laoxi laughed,"This Chu Yunfei is quite perceptive. He even knows how to hand it over voluntarily!"”
The Chief of Staff glanced at the report and reminded him in a low voice,""Officer Yan, there is more to this report!”
Yan Laoxi finally reacted. He picked up the report and continued reading.
The rest of the report stated that Chu Yunfei wanted Yan Laoxi to help him build an arsenal near the small barren mountain.
The reason was that after the Munitions Factory was built, not only could he help the Munitions Factory produce weapons, but he could also help the Munitions Factory produce weapons.
Moreover, after the iron ore was extracted, it could be directly used by the Munitions Factory, saving a lot of other expenses and time.
The only request Chu Yunfei made was that he had to keep one-third of the weapon after it was made!
Yan Laoxi's eyes lit up.
He had always wanted Chu Yunfei to help him make new weapons.
Now, Chu Yunfei had taken the initiative to bring it up.
Moreover, it could be directly made from mined iron. This was simply killing two birds with one stone!
After his excitement, Yan Laoxi felt that something was wrong.
Chu Yunfei had tricked him so many times. Now, as long as Chu Yunfei was mentioned, he felt that there was a trap!
Yan Laoxi pinched his chin and said,"What do you think Chu Yunfei wants so many guns for?" Don't tell me you have some plans?"
"Officer Yan, you're worrying too much. Chu Yunfei just wants to get some weapons and sell them for some money." These days, arms trading was a big business. Chu Yunfei didn't want to lose money!”
Yan Laoxi immediately burst into laughter. If he wanted Chu Yunfei to help him, he would not be willing to hand over the gold mine without some benefits!”
The Chief of Staff's words immediately dispelled Yan Laoxi's doubts.
In this era, all the troops had a clear rule that they were not allowed to do firearms business.
However, even if there were clear rules in the army, there were still many people who did it.
However, none of this was on the surface.
It was fine as long as everyone knew in their hearts. They would never say it out loud.
Now, both of them agreed that Chu Yunfei definitely wanted to do some firearms business.
Yan Laoxi wanted Chu Yunfei to hand over two-thirds of the gold and copper mines, plus Chu Yunfei promised to help him produce weapons.
He turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.
Yan Laoxi looked at the Chief of Staff and smiled.""Tomorrow, arrange for someone to go to the 358th Brigade and tell Chu Yunfei that I agree to his request!”
The Chief of Staff nodded and turned to leave.
The next morning.
Yan Laoxi's messenger arrived at the Little Desolate Mountain, where Chu Yunfei was stationed.
After seeing Chu Yunfei, the messenger took out the document that Yan Laoxi had signed and handed it to Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei took a look at the document and was ecstatic.
The messenger smiled." Brigade Commander Chu, Commander Yan was very excited after reading your report. He praised you as the most outstanding general in our Jinsui Army in front of many officers.”
"Officer Yan said that he will send someone to help you build the arsenal soon. When the time comes, Brigade Commander Chu, don't forget the credit of this subordinate sending the letter!”
Chu Yunfei understood what the messenger meant. He just wanted some benefits.
As the saying went, the King of Hell was easy to see, but the little devil was difficult to deal with.
Although Chu Yunfei wasn't afraid of Yan Laoxi, he still hadn't turned against him.
If he wanted to kill this envoy, Chu Yunfei could do it with a flip of his hand.
However, if he did not give this envoy some benefits today, there might be some unnecessary trouble.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to thank Officer Yan. I've also troubled you to come all the way here!" Chu Yunfei smiled.”
Fang Ligong took out two silver coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the emissary's hand.""The weather is hot. This is a token of our appreciation. We bought a watermelon to quench our thirst on the way!”
The envoy nodded and left the 358th Brigade with a smile!
Looking at the figure of the messenger leaving.
Chu Yunfei sneered in his heart, Yan Laoxi, you want to fight me with that brain of yours? You can forget about climbing out of this pit if you jump in! Do you really think that it's so easy to take my things?
