Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Daxia Empire, remote western area, Luocheng.

This is the western hinterland of the empire. The surrounding natural environment is harsh and the sky is full of yellow sand.

Even though the empire has built large railways and auxiliary railways, this is still a relatively poor area of ​​the empire.

In addition, there are many ethnic minorities here and the situation is relatively complicated. Therefore, Daxia has not over-developed the area. It has only helped the locals build some factories and then provided financial subsidies.

Although the people here are not as wealthy as the people in the eastern part of the empire, they find this kind of life very comfortable.

I don’t know when a large number of soldiers suddenly came to Luocheng.

A densely packed area with at least tens of thousands of people. But after these soldiers arrived in Luocheng, they quickly left the city.

No one knows where they went or what they were going to do.

Subsequently, a large amount of building materials were transported to Luocheng. At this time, the people of Luocheng knew that the empire seemed to be building something near Luocheng.

Some young men who stayed in Luocheng wanted to find those soldiers to see if they needed construction workers or anything.

However, they were met by patrolling soldiers not far out of the city. After learning that these people wanted to help the empire build that unknown building and get a small salary, these soldiers directly refused.

At the same time, he told the people in the city that Luocheng had entered a semi-controlled city. They should try not to go west of the city without any special reason.

As a result, the people of Luocheng could only watch a large number of trucks transporting supplies from the train station to outside the city every day. It seems that this has become a kind of fun for them.

But later, considering that there was indeed no good heavy industry or light industry in the area that could make the people rich, Lin Yi considered giving the local people another way to make money.

After going through layers of screening, Lin Yi finally finalized a few suppliers and asked them to be responsible for delivering fruits, vegetables and supplies to the base.

This is the western part of the empire, the hinterland of the continent, but it is also a famous melon and fruit production base. Due to the large temperature difference between day and night, the fruits here are rich in sugar and the fruits are very delicious.

Due to the large volume, the purchase prices from these suppliers are actually very low, but when sold to the base, they are based on the market price in the eastern region.

This is what Lin Yi can do for the local people.

Lin Yi's move did make the fruit farmers here make a lot of money, so the locals are very enthusiastic about the empire establishing a base here.

On this day, in a private room of a restaurant in Luocheng. A fashionably dressed woman sat in a private room, opposite her was a plainly dressed man.

"Mr. Zhu, I am Tang Sisi, an intern reporter from Empire Daily. We have been in contact before." Tang Sisi looked at the man in front of him and looked at Zhu Changli with a smile on his face.

Zhu Changli looked at Tang Sisi's beautiful face and rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

"I've met Miss Tang. Miss Tang is really too polite." Zhu Changli had a trace of embarrassment on his face.

He is already 37 this year, but because his family was poor and could not afford a wife, he is still single until now.

Today, he relies on delivering supplies to the base, and his family has saved some money over the past year or so. Now that he has money, he naturally wants to marry a wife.

He looked at Tang Sisi and thought to himself that if his future wife could be half as beautiful as Tang Sisi, he would be satisfied.

Seeing Zhu Changli's embarrassed look, the corners of Tang Sisi's mouth raised slightly. She was filled with contempt in her heart, but she still had a warm smile on her face.

"Brother Zhu, how has he considered what I told you in the telegram before?" Tang Sisi looked at Zhu Changli and lowered her voice.

As soon as he heard Tang Sisi say this, Zhu Changli's smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of embarrassment.

"Sister, I've told you before, this can't be done. It's all secret and cannot be leaked to outsiders." Zhu Changli shook his head like a rattle.

However, Tang Sisi was not discouraged when she heard Zhu Changli's rejection. She picked up her chopsticks and gave Zhu Changli a piece of braised pork and put it in Zhu Changli's bowl. Then Tang Sisi said to Zhu Changli in a soft and waxy voice.

"Brother Zhu, there's nothing I can do about it. As you know, I'm just an intern reporter at Empire Daily. Our editor-in-chief has to say that if I don't get a big news, I won't be able to get a regular job."

"I've told you about the benefits of Imperial Daily News before. It's worth one hundred and fifty Imperial silver dollars a month. You think it's not easy for a little girl like me to have such an opportunity."

"Brother Zhu, are you just going to help me? I promise that after everything is done, the reward I will give you will definitely satisfy you, okay?"

After saying this, Tang Sisi gently touched the back of Zhu Changli's hand.

Zhu Changli immediately retracted his hand and his face turned red.

"Sister, that's not what happened. It's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that we all have rules. We can't talk about things in the base to outsiders. This will cause your head to fall."

"Oh, Brother Zhu, there are hundreds of thousands of people in this city, and there are tens of thousands of people in the base. There are so many people coming in and out. Who would know who you are talking about?"

"Don't worry. I've thought about it carefully. This kind of thing is very safe. As long as you can tell me what is going on in this base, I guarantee that no one will know that you said it when you check in."

"And you just need to tell me that I am willing to increase the reward to three hundred imperial silver dollars and give it to you with both hands. In addition, you can ask for anything else you want."

After saying this, Tang Sisi left her seat, sat directly next to Zhu Changli, took Zhu Changli's arm in her arms, and rubbed her chest.

This time, Zhu Changli was a little distracted and fanciful.

"Brother Zhu, can you just help me? I really need this job and I don't want to lose it."

Listening to the gentle words in his ears, Zhu Changli felt like he was about to fall, and his mind had flown to nowhere.

Although he knew that he should not agree to Tang Sisi, his body was honest and he couldn't help but nodded.

Seeing Zhu Changli nodded in agreement, a sly smile appeared on Tang Sisi's face.

However, her smile was not seen by Zhu Changli.

The next day, Zhu Changli drove the fleet truck as usual to deliver vegetables to the base.

But this time, Zhu Changli was obviously a little nervous.

In his mind, while thinking about the crazy night with Tang Sisi last night, he was also worried that what he promised to do for Tang Sisi would be discovered by the guards at the base.

So now, Zhu Changli's palms were sweaty.
