Jiang Yi put away the system and walked out of the study. He happened to meet Yi Tian who was looking for him.
"Young Master, there you are!" Yi Tian was a little surprised. Wasn't Jiang Yi in the practice room at this time?
"Uncle Tian, are you looking for me?"
Jiang Yi was somewhat curious, thinking that there was something he needed to talk to him about.
"Young Master, a few squires in the town invited you to Taibai Restaurant for a meal. They said that they wanted to congratulate you on being elected as the mayor!”Yi Tian said with a smile.
Jiang Yi frowned." Didn't I already reject it? Why are they still here?!"”
Hearing the unhappiness in Jiang Yi's tone, Yi Tian could only say helplessly,""Young Master, you've rejected the luncheon, but you haven't rejected the banquet yet.”
It turned out that ever since Jiang Yi was elected as the town mayor and concurrently served as the leader of the security regiment, he had already seized the military and political power of Chongwen Town. Although the security regiment of Chongwen Town was known as Chongwen Town, some smart squires knew that it was Jiang Yi's private army.
Therefore, they thought of ways to flatter Jiang Yi. It didn't matter if he didn't come to the luncheon. They would continue to come to the banquet. It didn't matter if he didn't come to the banquet. They could continue tomorrow.
They were different from those country bumpkins who couldn't see the situation clearly. They knew very well that in this chaotic world, those with guns were the kings of grass. And who was the strongest armed force in Chongwen Town? Wasn't it Jiang Yi?
Jiang Yi came out because he chose to respect tradition. He did not want to get into too much trouble with the squire. Otherwise, they would have directly used the security team.
Hearing Yi Tian's words, Jiang Yi knew that if he didn't go tonight, those squires would definitely come to invite him endlessly. And he couldn't kill them just because he wanted to treat him to a meal, right?
Therefore, Jiang Yi nodded and agreed to the squires 'request.
At night, Jiang Yi brought Zhang Dadan to Taibai Building. He did not expect that the squires had been waiting for him for a long time. The leader was Old Master Bai. Not only that, Immortal Qian was also there.
It turned out that Old Master Bai had somehow found out that Immortal Qian was Jiang Yi's favorite person, so he had specially gone to the Taoist temple to ask Immortal Qian to come over.
Immortal Qian originally didn't want to come. After all, he, who abided by professional ethics, promised to only provide Daoist services to Jiang Yi. However, when he heard that Jiang Yi would also come, he still agreed.
At the banquet, various squires flattered Jiang Yi to the extreme. Some even said that they wanted to be in-laws with Jiang Yi and wanted to marry their womenfolk to Jiang Yi, but they were all rejected by him.
The banquet lasted until very late, until most of the people were completely drunk before it dispersed. Jiang Yi was completely fine because he never drank, so naturally no one dared to force him to drink.
After letting Zhang Dadan bring the drunk Qian Zhenren back to the Taoist temple and hand him over to Qian Shui, Jiang Yi went straight home.
The next morning, Jiang Yi brought Zhang Dadan and bid farewell to Yi Tian before heading to the provincial capital to meet John.
Before he left, he instructed his four Battalion Commanders to continue recruiting people. At the same time, he asked them to gather information about Marshal Xu. This news made Yang Dingwen and the others 'blood boil. They knew that Jiang Yi was about to make a move on Marshal Xu.
Two days later, Jiang Yi brought Zhang Dadan and met his old friend John again in the manager's office of Tianlong Trading Company.
At this moment, John was extremely enthusiastic. His attitude was much better than when he first met him.
"Long time no see, my dear Jiang. You're much more imposing now than you were back then!”
John shouted. This was not him flattering Jiang Yi. He felt that Jiang Yi had become different from the last time they met.
Jiang Yi smiled slightly. Back then, he was just a small squire of Chongwen Town who possessed magical techniques. Now, he was a small warlord who possessed magical techniques and commanded two thousand people. His status was different, so his aura was naturally different.
"Dear Jiang, what do you need my help with this time? Do you need more military uniforms or a map?”John asked happily.
Every time Jiang Yi came to find him, he would bring him a big business deal. Whether it was military uniforms or maps, these were all small things to him.
He had long colluded with the people of the Governor's Mansion. The military uniform and map were all provided by them. Every time Jiang Yi paid, as long as he resold it, he could get a lot of commission. However, he would not tell Jiang Yi this secret.
"Dear John, it's nothing big. It's just two small things!" Jiang Yi said.”
"Oh, which two small matters?" John asked excitedly.
"First, where's the truck I asked for? I need it soon.”Jiang Yi cleared his throat and continued," The second thing, I need a batch of cannons. I need them in two days. Can you get them done?”
John said calmly,""Dear Jiang, don't worry. The truck you want will arrive in a few days. I'll keep an eye on it for you.”After saying that, John paused for a moment and circled around Jiang Yi twice before continuing,"As for the second thing, I really suspect that you have the ability to predict. How did you know that I just had a batch of 75 ladies in storage two days ago?”
Miss 75!
Hearing this, Jiang Yi had a look of surprise. He didn't expect John to not only sell domestic goods, but also foreign goods.
Miss 75 was the French nickname for the M1897 75mm cannon. It was the world's earliest elastic cannon. Its firing speed, accuracy, and maneuverability were significantly higher than the same caliber artillery with a rigid cannon structure. It was used to provide fire support for field troops and was one of the best rapid-fire cannons before the First World War.
On this land, this type of cannon had a more famous name, the Italian cannon.
"You actually have Miss 75 here. How many do you have? I want all of them!”
Jiang Yi was rich and overbearing. He directly requested to buy all the 75 ladies.
"Dear Jiang, of course I have it, and there's a lot of it. It was just ordered by your warlord, but since you want it, I'll sell it to you first!”
John's face was full of pride.
"Let me guess if that warlord didn't pay either!”
Jiang Yi had a strange expression.
"Bingo, my dear Jiang, you're really smart! Let me tell you a little secret. This warlord is the same one who ordered the gun last time!”John said with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi's interest was also piqued." Which warlord is so unlucky? You resold the supplies that we ordered twice in a row!”
"Oh, my dear Jiang, have you forgotten? The person I told you about last time was Marshal Xu!”John said.
Marshal Xu?
A thought suddenly flashed across Jiang Yi's mind.
"Which Marshal Xu are you talking about?”Jiang Yi asked with uncertainty.
"Who else could it be? It's the Marshal Xu of Teng Teng Town who said that he's going to find another treasure and be rich soon!”John shouted.
Commander Xu of Teng Teng Town!
Jiang Yi's guess was confirmed. It turned out that the two batches of goods he bought belonged to that Great Marshal Xu. Coincidentally, he was planning to make a move on this Great Marshal Xu recently.
Jiang Yi thought to himself, then does this count as me secretly weakening Marshal Xu's strength?
Seeing Jiang Yi fall into deep thought, John patted his shoulder and shouted,""Dear Jiang, what are you thinking about?”
"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking that every time you pull the goods over before the other party pays, aren't you afraid that the goods won't sell and you'll lose money?”
Jiang Yi was somewhat curious.
"Of course not, dear Jiang. Guns are the most popular goods in this land. If they don't want them, there will naturally be another buyer who will take over.”
John started talking about his business.
Jiang Yi by the side listened with great interest.
