Perfected Qian returned to his room somewhat desolately. Today, seeing Jiang Yi break through the realm of refining essence into qi overnight had given him a huge blow.
Thinking about how he had started cultivating since he was young, he had only managed to refine Qi into Spirit after spending over thirty years. According to Jiang Yi's cultivation speed, he would be able to break through to the Spirit Refining Qi into Spirit Realm within a few years.
However, Immortal Qian soon got over it. In this Dharma Ending Age, when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was gradually thinning, although his aptitude was good, after more than 30 years of cultivation, he could be considered to have broken through to the realm of Qi Refinement and Spirit Refinement. He could be considered to have a good cultivation.
Jun Bujian saw that many people with similar qualifications as him were still lingering at his age because of various reasons. He could not compare with a cultivation genius like Jiang Yi, but he was more than enough to compare with those people.
Anyway, the cultivation speed was slow. It was better to hug Jiang Yi's thigh and earn more money from him to enjoy life.
Just as Immortal Qian was relieved, Jiang Yi was not idle either. He was meeting another elder of the Jiang family, Yang Dingwen, in the study.
Yang Dingwen was in his forties. He was tall and strong. He was the captain of the guards of the Jiang family.
According to Jiang Yi's memories, Yang Dingwen's background was not ordinary. He used to be a soldier and joined the Northern Army. He was also a small officer. However, a few years ago, in a major historical event, his army was scattered. He was also wandering outside and almost starved to death. Fortunately, the young Jiang Yi saved him at that time, so he stayed in the Jiang family and became the guard captain of the Jiang family.
However, ever since One-eye came, he had almost become a commander without any subordinates. His subordinates had quickly decreased from more than twenty to a few.
"Uncle Yang, I have two things I want you to do.”Jiang Yi said. His tone carried an unquestionable tone.
"Young Master, just say it. What is it? I will definitely settle it!”Yang Dingwen replied.
"The first thing is, I want you to arrange for someone to inquire about the current situation on Eagle Beak Mountain.”Jiang Yi paused for a moment and took a sip of tea from the table." And the second thing, I know that Uncle Yang was an officer and has seen a lot, so I want Uncle Yang to inquire about where there are channels to buy weapons so that I can buy some back.”
"Especially the second matter. This is very important. I hope that Uncle Yang can personally supervise it.”Jiang Yi continued.
"Alright, Young Master. I'll immediately arrange for a smart person to do the first thing.”Then, Yang Dingwen thought for a moment and said very readily," As for the second thing, it's even simpler. As long as you have money, you can do it.”
Public security was very poor these days. There were many merchants from various countries selling weapons on this land. It was no secret that they sold weapons openly. Even some soldiers would privately sell weapons and military supplies. Sometimes, it was said that there were a thousand people, but there were only five to six hundred people and five to six hundred guns. The rest were all sold and sold.
"It's good that you can get it easily." Jiang Yi thought for a moment, took out two small yellow croakers, and handed them to Yang Dingwen." Uncle Yang, go and ask around. Where are the channels and what are the prices? I don't want to make a small fuss this time. I have a huge demand!”
Yang Dingwen agreed immediately." No problem, Young Master. As long as we have the money, we can settle it. If it really doesn't work out, I'll bring my brothers out to the sea. We'll go to Hong Kong or Haojiang. It'll only take a few days to go back and forth. The foreigners there are willing to sell anything for money.”
Jiang Yi suddenly realized that Haojiang and Hong Kong were still under the control of those foreigners.
Those businessmen were all standard capitalists. As long as you paid them, there was nothing they didn't dare to sell.
"Then, Young Master, I'll go and do my work now!”
After saying that, Yang Dingwen turned to leave.
"Wait, Uncle Yang!" Jiang Yi hurriedly called out to Yang Dingwen, who was about to leave the room.
"What's wrong, Young Master? Is there anything else?”Yang Dingwen had some doubts.
"It's nothing, Uncle Yang. I just want to say that I remember that you used to earn 20 yuan a month. Now, I plan to increase your monthly salary to 40 yuan a month.”Jiang Yi paused for a moment before continuing," Also, be careful on the way!”
Yang Dingwen nodded firmly and left the study.
Jiang Yi understood that in this day and age, one could not rely solely on loyalty and feelings to bind subordinates. Many people came out to mingle for what? It was still not just gold. On one hand, when emphasizing loyalty and loyalty, on the other hand, one had to keep up with material things. Only then could one make people loyal to one.
After Yang Dingwen left, the old butler Yi Tian entered the study room and asked hesitantly.
"Young Master, I just heard that you plan to let Yang Dingwen buy weapons?”
Jiang Yi nodded.
"Yeah, I have some ideas."
These days, it was chaotic. Only with enough equipment could one feel at ease. As for how many weapons to buy, the more the better.
Jiang Yi changed the topic, leading the conversation to the militia.
"Uncle Tian, I don't think there's a security team in our town.”
Yi Tian was silent for a moment before replying,""This security team will cost a lot of money. Chongwen Town is still relatively peaceful. There are only bandits on Eagle Beak Mountain. Usually, it will be over with a little bit of management. Naturally, no one will do this thankless thing.”
The security corps couldn't be built just like that.
Buying weapons required money, recruiting people required money, and feeding people and horses also required money.
The higher-ups would definitely not pay for it. The local merchants and squires would have to pay for it.
However, Chongwen Town was still relatively peaceful now. The bandits could be dealt with a small amount of money, so why spend such a large sum of money?
Hearing Yi Tian's words, Jiang Yi could not help laughing coldly.
"It's still considered peaceful. Then yesterday, one eye was already at the Jiang family's door!”
Hearing this, Yi Tian fell silent. After all, what Jiang Yi said was the truth.
"So Uncle Tian, I want to build a security team, a security team that belongs to me!”Jiang Yi said firmly.
"But Young Master, this requires a lot of money. I'm afraid that we'll have to rely on the Jiang family alone."
Yi Tian didn't object but voiced his concerns.
"Uncle Tian, don't worry. I'll solve this problem!”
Jiang Yi naturally knew Yi Tian's concerns. The security team's expenses were very high. Just the Jiang family alone might not be able to support it. However, that was in the past, not now.
For Jiang Yi, who had the characteristics of the Golden Hand, money was not a problem.
Hearing Jiang Yi's words, a thought appeared in Yi Tian's mind." Young Master, do you want to be a warlord?!"”
"Why can't I be one!" Jiang Yi did not answer Yi Tian but asked him back.
" In this era, the most powerful and untouchable people are the warlords. They have people with guns and control the fate of countless people. I don't want to be controlled by them, so I naturally have to become them.”A trace of ambition flashed in Jiang Yi's eyes.
He knew very well that he would never be short of money again with the help of the gold finger. However, the Jiang family, which only had money but no corresponding military power, was just a fat sheep in the eyes of those warlords. They could eat it whenever they wanted. One Eye was a good example. Those warlords were much stronger than One Eye.
It was now the seventh year of the Republic of China, and there were still many years before the end of the turmoil. Jiang Yi needed a team that belonged to him.
