Sun Jinyi carefully followed behind this mysterious man who called himself 'Ling Ping'an'.
But he didn't dare to be too reserved.
The logic was very simple.
A senior expert was playing games in the world, and you went to disturb his game.
Let's see if this senior would slap you to death!
Therefore, Sun Jinyi could only maintain politeness and respect, but he didn't dare to go too far.
This made him feel as if he was walking on a tightrope.
Every word had to be repeated in his heart several times before he dared to say it out loud.
Otherwise, if he said the wrong thing and angered an expert, the opportunity would turn into a calamity. Who would he cry to?
Thus, in Ling Ping'an's eyes, this driver became the most typical representative of the working class of the Federal Empire.
He had received a certain level of education and was very traditional. He was always very careful when he spoke, but he was also very polite.
Thus, Ling Ping'an could only think of a way to liven up the atmosphere.
Thus, he found an excuse and deliberately talked about a very widespread legend in the streets.
"Brother Sun..." Ling Ping'an asked, "I heard that when Gaozong was in power, your ancestor once attended the new Kaifeng conference?"
When Sun Jinyi heard this, he quickly became humble, "How could it be considered a non-voting attendance? I was just a clerk for Emperor Gaozong... "
Ling Ping'an nodded, "That's still very powerful!"
The new Kaifeng conference was the most important conference at the end of the hundred-year war.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the world order for the next hundred years was established by this conference.
Because at this meeting, the last emperor of the Federal Empire, who had absolute power, gathered all the kings of the independent kingdoms of the Federal Empire at that time, the representatives of the Council of Ministers, the heads of the major friendly neighboring countries, and the representatives of the important economic and financial fields in the capital of the Xisong Kingdom. They held a one-month meeting in Xisong Kingdom.
This conference established the economic and financial structure of the Empire after the hundred-year war.
It also established a brand-new economic and financial system, the new Kaifeng system.
The greatest achievement of the conference was to determine the currency standard system of the Federal Empire.
The Empire's currency was pegged to gold, and every Hua Yuan was exchanged for 0.8878 grams of gold.
The currencies of the other major participating countries were pegged to the Hua Yuan.
Countries like Fusang and Silla even gave up their own currencies and used the Hua Yuan as their currency. This was their tradition.
Since the Song Dynasty, Silla, Fusang, and even the Nanyang countries had accepted the currency from the Central Dynasty as their own currency.
Later, Fusang and Xinluo re-issued their own currencies under the persuasion or even coercion of the Federal Empire.
That was because the central command of the empire believed that Xinluo and Fusang were sovereign independent countries.
It was their right to own their own currency.
Even if they gave up that power themselves, it would still be unacceptable.
Therefore, they must have their own currency!
Thus, Xin Luo and Fu Sang began to play around the edges.
The currency was created, but there was very little circulation, similar to commemorative coins.
The country still uses the Chinese yuan as its currency.
Although this made it difficult for them to make a fortune by printing money, it also saved them a lot of trouble.
First of all, it avoids inflation.
Backed by the huge market and production capacity of the Federal Empire.
Fu Sang and Xin Luo could live comfortably even if they lay down.
As long as they developed their own unique industries, they would be able to live a good life.
Green mountains and clear waters were left behind. After entering the modern era, the tourism industry took off, and every year, the budget was in surplus.
Back to the newly opened system.
After the New Kaifeng System was established, there was a legend in the mainland.
It was said that this system was proposed by the Sun family.
After all, the mastermind behind the currency war was the uncrowned king of the financial field.
However, from the looks of it now, this was probably another rumor.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense!
The Sun family was a mere financial group. How could they interfere with such an international system?
Impressive, he was just a clerk who was dragged by Gao Zong to be the background.
Sun Jinyi, however, still said modestly, "What's so impressive about it?"
"Everything is because of the wisdom of the Lord, the Son of Heaven!"
He wasn't lying. Taizu, Taizong, Gao Zong.
They were all elites of the Federal Empire.
Experts who controlled power. The entire world was in their hands and was being played around.
Ling Ping'an listened and laughed, "In that case, back then, the Sun family funded the Fran Emperor because..."
Sun Jinyi listened and chuckled, "Actually, we didn't fund it either..."
"It's all business, it's all about making money..."
"It doesn't matter who you do business with!"
Ling Ping'an smiled and nodded slowly.
There had always been rumors in the streets that after the descendant of the Sun King of Fran went to the guillotine.
The Sun family took advantage of the situation and invested in the person who was only the commander of the East at that time.
Then, they made a lot of money.
Not to mention anything else, just a few franchises had allowed the Sun family to make a lot of profits!
What a pity...
Ling Ping'an looked at the descendant of the Sun family who was standing in front of him.
He was wearing volunteer clothes outside. He couldn't see the appearance of his underwear, but it couldn't be much better. He was probably the same as Ling Ping'an, buying cheap clothes from the supermarket.
He looked to be twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.
But his face was haggard and his expression was reserved.
He didn't look like a child from a rich and powerful family at all.
Especially when they shook hands, Ling Ping'an touched the thick calluses on his palms.
There was no deceiving anyone.
With calluses on his palms, he was either a soldier or a laborer.
So...
"Three hundred years of wind and rain..." Ling Ping'an sighed in his heart, "The noble families of the past are now the toiling masses!"
This was a very normal thing.
The Federal Empire implemented the system of 'a gentleman will be beheaded for three lifetimes'.
Even if they were descendants of the royal family, they would be stripped of all titles and titles after three generations and return to the status of commoners.
The inheritance tax of the rich was even more frightening.
The highest was 50%!
This made many rich people have no choice but to play the method of tax avoidance by foundations.
This made Ling Ping'an immediately understand why this driver was always silent and very reserved.
No matter who had such a rich ancestor, they would not be too happy now that they had fallen to the state of a social animal.
They would even feel inferior.
Therefore, Ling Ping'an wisely did not talk about the story of the Sun family transporting back a ship full of gold and gems from the Land of Qin.
Instead, he skipped the topic and asked, "Brother Sun, are you married now?"
Sun Jinyi was caught off guard. When Ling Ping'an asked this question, he was a little stumped for a moment, but he didn't dare to hide it. He could only say hesitantly, "To tell you the truth, I was already engaged because of my parents' orders..."
"My fiancée is the daughter of a family friend..."
This was a common problem in large families.
However, Ling Ping'an let out a sigh when he heard this.
Because he felt that he had roughly understood why this descendant of the Sun family was working so hard.
Think about it, they were childhood sweethearts and had been engaged since they were young, but their families had fallen...
Therefore, ambitious young people came out to work hard.
What a pity...
Looking at this enthusiastic peer, Ling Ping'an felt that he had guessed it.
He reckoned that the reason he hadn't gotten married yet was probably because his parents-in-law were a little resistant?
The plots of the few TV dramas he had watched surfaced in his mind.
Thus, Ling Ping'an patted Sun Jinyi's shoulder. "Brother Sun, you have to work hard!"
Sun Jinyi was suddenly patted by Ling Ping'an and even encouraged.
His eyes couldn't help but feel hot.
The heavens had pity on him!
His fiancée was the eldest daughter of the Huang family!
That was famous for women's rights!
The feminist of the Federal Empire was very valiant.
She could write poems with a pen and go to the battlefield with a gun!
That eldest daughter of the Huang family was even more outstanding.
Her famous saying was: What brothers can do, sisters can do too!
Therefore, her request was very simple.
She could get married, but she could marry into the family!
Because men could marry women, and women could also marry men.
If you don't want to marry and insist on marrying, then defeat me first!
But...
That eldest daughter was a major of the Blackguard!
A twenty-five-year-old major!
Was he going to use his life to defeat her?
With such small arms and legs, he could send her flying with a slap!
Therefore, the marriage was delayed just like that.
Even the parents of the two families were extremely anxious.
However, Sun Jinyi and the eldest daughter were not in a hurry.
Sun Jinyi dreamed of becoming a transcendent being just to marry the other party.
As for the eldest daughter, she felt that her sister didn't have a man, but she still lived a very exciting life!
Therefore, she was happy to let Sun Jinyi drag it on.
She wasn't in a hurry anyway.
Originally, if it was another family, it would have been fine.
However, the Sun and Huang families were both standard traditionalists.
Their creed was: People can die, but they can't lose face.
In addition, Sun Jinyi was actually holding back his anger. He wanted to surpass that sister and marry her openly to prove himself.
Therefore, the marriage was delayed just like that.
One insisted on marrying, and the other didn't want to marry.
Ling Ping'an looked at Sun Jinyi, whose eyes instantly turned red, and knew that he had guessed correctly.
"It's not easy for anyone..." he thought to himself.
Just in time, he arrived at the bookstore.
He walked over, opened the lock of the bookstore door, pulled up the shutter door, and then said to Sun Jinyi, "Brother Sun, please come in!"
Sun Jinyi quickly wiped his eyes and followed him.
… …
Situ He opened his eyes and looked at the image transmitted back by the monitor.
The target had returned with a person.
"Who is that?" Situ He frowned and quickly framed this person's profile. He directly connected to the internal database of the Blackguard and quickly gave the result.
Sun Jinyi, the director of the board of directors of the Rising Sun Corporation of the Federal Empire, and his father, Sun Xing...
Rows of data kept popping up.
Everything about him, no matter how big or small, appeared on the screen.
"So it's someone from the Sun family..." Situ He raised his eyebrows.
The Sun family of Yungui used to be a large consortium of the Federal Empire.
But that was in the past, and it was no longer the same as before.
The Sun family consortium could only barely squeeze into the circle of the imperial capital, relying on the reputation they had accumulated in the past to barely survive.
Of course, that was in the imperial capital.
In Guangnan, although it wasn't a giant, it was still a ferocious dragon crossing the river!
And this Sun Jinyi actually came to Guangnan as a volunteer?
Situ He moved his fingers and searched for a bit.
He found that this guy was the volunteer driver who drove the target to Pan Garden last time.
Because the mission was completed well, he even received a reward and a supply of cultivation resources!
Unfortunately, his aptitude was too poor!
The result of the cultivation was a failure!
Seeing this, Situ He was puzzled, "How did he get on this line?"
This was a very important matter!
One had to know that he and the entire Blackguard had expended a lot of effort to barely have a chance to show their faces in front of this person!
How did this guy, who had nothing at all, manage to do it?
Could it be...
He had an unknown method of kneeling... cough cough... hugging someone's thigh?
Thinking of this, Situ He's heart burned.
If there really was such a method!
The Blackguard had to learn!
At this time, the screen had already shown that the target and Sun Jinyi had walked into the bookstore.
Even the door was closed.
Situ He thought for a moment and chose to play the surveillance back.
He looked carefully and finally saw something that he hadn't observed last time.
He zoomed in on the screen. The target was holding a box in his hand.
It looked like some kind of food box.
After zooming in, he got the result through big data comparison.
It was a newly opened meat packing box sent by the Rising Sun Company to the Western Song Dynasty.
"Meat?!"
Situ He's heart was burning.
There was meat?
What did this mean?
It meant that the target was going to hold a banquet tonight?
A banquet like the last time?
Thinking of this, Situ He couldn't sit still anymore.
At the last banquet, the commander-in-chief went to the meeting and immediately went into seclusion after returning.
These days, Situ He had clearly felt that the commander-in-chief's divine sense was becoming more and more restrained.
He had once again opened up the path of cultivation.
He had broken through the shackles that bound him!
"No!" Situ He looked at the surveillance footage that was played back again. He stood up like an ant on a hot pan.
Freeloading was the biggest motivation for him to stay in Jiangcheng City.
Even if it was just leftovers!
He thought for a moment, picked up the phone, and dialed the number.
Du du du...
After a busy tone, the call was connected.
"I'm Li Shouyi..." the voice of the commander-in-chief came from the other end of the phone.
Situ He immediately gave a simple report of what he had just seen.
Heavy breathing immediately came from the other end of the phone.
Obviously, even the commander-in-chief of the empire couldn't sit still to have another chance to freeload.
This once again told Situ He what it meant to be able to freeload a meal?
Therefore, he carefully asked, "Commander-in-chief... subordinate, can I try to contact him?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Situ He understood that the commander-in-chief was hesitating or worried about something?
He was afraid!
He was afraid of angering the other party!
Who wasn't afraid?
After all, he had already proven his personality with irrefutable facts.
Tsundere, temperamental, and domineering.
Moreover, he had enough strength to support his personality.
If he was unhappy, he would slap him.
The corpses of the werewolf race and the Duke of Hell in the Land of Qin were not completely cold yet!
Therefore, the Blackguard could only adopt the policy of observing from afar and carefully contacting them.
They were afraid that they would kiss the horse's ass and it would be difficult to deal with it!
But...
Situ He also understood that although that person seemed to be tsundere and temperamental.
But in fact, he had principles and a bottom line.
As long as he didn't touch it, then nothing would happen!
Therefore, Situ He mustered up his courage and said, "Commander-in-chief... this is what I think..."
"This time, this subordinate will 'pretend to be confused'..."
"Under the guise of buying books at his door..."
"If he is willing, he will naturally stay. If he is not willing, this subordinate will also act according to the situation..."
"If he succeeds..." Situ He said, "Then in the future, Jiangcheng City can adopt a rotation system..."
"There are so many generals in the Blackguard who are trapped in their current realm..."
"If they can all have a chance to break through..."
This sentence finally moved Li Shouyi.
Situ He only heard the commander-in-chief's instructions coming from the phone, "Act according to the situation. Don't force it!"
"Yes!" Situ He happily patted his chest.
Of course, he knew what to do.
He even had a plan!
In order to freeload today, he had prepared countless times.
He had rehearsed it countless times in his heart!
He had even commissioned the think tank to do a simulation deduction.
According to the currently known personality of the target, the think tank used a supercomputer to conduct more than a hundred thousand deductions based on different conditions and situations. In the end, they obtained the result that the success rate of freeloading was as high as 65%!
In other words, he could succeed 6.5 times out of ten!
This probability was very high!
It was so high that it exceeded Situ He's imagination!
In his original estimation, the success rate was only 10%. It was already worth the gamble!
Therefore, he put down the phone and immediately began to prepare.
He stood in front of the mirror and began to change his clothes.
As the person in the Blackguard who had come into contact with the target the most, Situ He understood that the target liked to play riddles with people and guess riddles.
As long as he could guess correctly, he would basically get a reward!
Naturally, if he guessed wrongly...
Therefore, Situ He took a deep breath.
He understood that he had to put in 120% of his effort to face the possible difficulties of the target on this trip, so as to win the qualification to freeload!
… …
Sun Jinyi walked into this ordinary-looking bookstore.
The bookstore was very ordinary, so ordinary that it surprised him.
It was very simple in decoration and layout.
Moreover, the storefront was a little small.
The storefront was at most 30 square meters, with a few bookshelves and a living room for receiving guests.
In a very simple wooden counter, there was a dark blue computer that seemed to have been discontinued a long time ago.
Sun Jinyi was stunned when he saw this computer!
Because one of the gifts he had received when he was young was a dark blue computer of the latest model at that time.
But that was fifteen or sixteen years ago.
He didn\'t expect to see such a computer that had been eliminated a long time ago here.
"As expected of a senior expert, he has hidden his strength..." Sun Jinyi sighed in his heart.
The ancients said that a great expert was hidden in the city. This was the case.
Therefore, not only did he not underestimate him, but he was even more respectful.
Because the reason was obvious. Even the Blackguard had to curry favor with and rope in a senior expert. Every move of his had its own deep meaning.
Moreover, Sun Jinyi knew that many things could be turned into magic in the hands of a transcendent being.
For example, Sun Jinyi\'s family had a guest consecrator.
That guest had a magical artifact, which was a very simple and unadorned abacus.
With a move of the abacus, he knew the whereabouts of the person.
It was an incredible thing!
There was also the Emperor\'s robe. It looked like it was made of coarse cloth, but it was actually indestructible.
If a rocket was fired from the front, it would be as if nothing had happened. Not even a single hair would fall!
As for those evil techniques, they couldn\'t even move the slightest bit of the robe!
Therefore, Sun Jinyi didn\'t dare to underestimate this seemingly ordinary and simple shop.
He didn\'t even dare to walk too fast, afraid that he would touch the restrictions here. God knew how many restrictions and spells the senior expert had set up in his house?
If he touched it without opening his eyes, he wouldn\'t even know how he died.
He had heard of some legends about traps.
For example, the Qin Shihuang\'s mausoleum in Mount Li was an unpredictable place.
Ling Ping\ 'an turned around and looked at the guest who had become even more reserved when he came home. He quickly smiled and said, "Brother Sun, don\'t be so reserved..."
"There\'s nothing valuable in my house..."
"You can walk around and look around..."
As he said these words, Ling Ping\ 'an made himself smile especially brightly.
Sun Jinyi looked at him and didn\'t dare to act rashly.
Because...
He wasn\'t a child!
Only a child would believe an adult\'s lies like\ 'It\'s okay, just play around\'.
If something really happened, the adult\'s face would change.\ 'Aiya, why are you so naughty?\'
Therefore, when adults listen to other people\'s words, they would carefully consider it and then analyze it.
Not to mention this senior expert who even the Blackguard had to take into account?
How could he not think carefully about what he said!
With just a little thought, Sun Jinyi knew what the other party meant.
I don\'t have anything valuable here.
Yes, to me, there really isn\'t anything valuable here!
This was showing off!
It was obvious that he was showing off!
Just like when Sun Jinyi went to school, he drove his supercar to the door of his classmate\'s house.
When his classmate asked to sit down.
Young master Sun was full of smiles as he handed the keys over, "Brother, you can play around... My broken car isn\'t worth much!"
Yes, to him, it was indeed not worth much.
Because there were still more than ten cars in his garage!
But to that classmate?
A tire was probably his family\'s annual income.
Therefore, at that time, Sun Jinyi looked at that classmate sitting in his luxury car, taking selfies and being happy, but in the end, he didn\'t dare to touch the keys because he knew that he couldn\'t afford it!
Thus, Sun Jinyi smiled.
This was how rich people showed off.
Now, the situation was reversed.
Of course, Sun Jinyi also understood that this person had no ill intentions.
This person was simply telling him how awesome he was.
It was that simple.
Thus, Sun Jinyi was just like that classmate from back then. He smiled and said, "I understand, I understand..."
"You don\'t have to take care of me..."
He lowered his head, "Really!"
Ling Ping\ 'an smiled and said to the somewhat introverted driver, "Brother Sun, do you want to sit here for a while or go upstairs with me?"
Sun Jinyi raised his head and said, "I\'ll just sit here..."
Sun Jinyi was very satisfied to be invited here to visit, experience, and fight for opportunities.
He had never thought of reaching the heavens in one step!
Because he knew what it meant to reach the heavens in one step?
The Sun family\'s ancestral teachings: There was nothing free in the world. If there was, then others would definitely want more!
It was precisely by remembering the ancestral teachings that the Sun family was able to survive until today.
Otherwise, they would have been swallowed by others long ago!
