Buying food was only to solve the immediate emergency.
But everything Ren Xiaosu was doing at the moment was to seek a more stable and prosperous future for the Northwest.
As the head of the Policy Research Office, Wang Yuexi was well aware of the difference between the two.
Ren Xiaosu said to Wang Yun, "Of course, contracting doesn't mean that everyone can contract as much land as they want. We have to play a macro role, so the mapping on your side is the most important. Not only do we have to draw a map, but we also have to know where the fertile land is and where the barren land is."
"Don't worry, Young Marshal. I guarantee that the task will be completed within half a month," Wang Yun said.
Ren Xiaosu nodded and said to Big Bluff, "Since we want everyone to go into the wilderness to explore, we have to ensure that the wilderness is safe. Get Xun Yeyu here and have Wang Yuchi and the others lead Xun Yeyu. Then, turn on his radar and plow the entire wilderness."
"In the Northwest, there can't be bandits or fierce beasts. Xun Yeyu and the others must dig out all the bandits hiding in the ravines," Ren Xiaosu said.
Big Bluff thought that the Young Marshal was getting serious. He actually used Xun Yeyu, a walking radar, to sweep out the bandits. Now, there would really be no bandits in the Northwest …
With Xun Yeyu around, it would be impossible to hide from the encirclement no matter where they hid. The bandits and horse bandits in the Northwest would really be extinct …
"Of course, we don't have to kill all the bandits. We can catch them and turn over a new leaf. We can also prosper in the Northwest together." Ren Xiaosu set the tone for this matter. Now was the beginning of the Northwest's prosperity, and manpower was the foundation of everything.
In this case, except for those who had committed heinous crimes, as long as they were willing to prosper in the Northwest, Ren Xiaosu could deal with them leniently.
The meeting lasted for eight hours. During this time, Yang Xiaojin even made lunch for everyone, which made them feel honored.
Wang Fugui stayed until nightfall before leaving. However, he did not go home. Instead, he took a bus to the neighboring Stronghold 143 to visit someone.
After 9 PM, Wang Fugui arrived at Stronghold 143 and went straight to 179 Guangxing Street. He knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man opened it for him.
The middle-aged man looked at Wang Fugui with some doubt. "Who are you looking for?"
Wang Fugui said with a smile, "Are you Mr. Jiang Lin?"
"It's me." Jiang Lin said in surprise, "What's the matter? If you're from the Northwest Army, then please go back. I just want to live a good life, I don't want to join the army. "
Wang Fugui shook his head. "I'm not from the Northwest Army. Let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Fugui, and I've been recommended by everyone to be the president of the Northwest Chamber of Commerce."
Jiang Lin was stunned. He had heard of Wang Fugui's name before. At this point, who had not heard of Yun Su and Wang Fugui? The Northwest Chamber of Commerce's influence on the Northwest was far greater than Ren Xiaosu had imagined.
After all, most of the items sold by the Northwest Chamber of Commerce were close to daily life. For example, kitchen utensils imported from the Central Plains, lipsticks, and many other novelties were sold through the Northwest Chamber of Commerce.
Jiang Lin was the earth-element awakened that Big Bluff had mentioned. However, he did not want to join the army and was very determined to do so. As such, he was still a company employee until now.
Before Wang Fugui came here, he had found out that Jiang Lin was not hostile to the Northwest Army. He just valued his life a little more and did not want to work in a dangerous industry.
Back then, he was dug out from the crowd by Xun Yeyu and worked for the Soong Clan. During that time, he killed a lot of people. This was not what Jiang Lin wanted, and he often had nightmares because of it.
But while the Northwest Army could not use such a talent, the Northwest Chamber of Commerce happened to be in need of it.
Moreover, Wang Fugui heard that Jiang Lin was probably one of the earliest to awaken his powers. In other words, Jiang Lin was very likely an extremely powerful supernatural being.
Jiang Lin invited Wang Fugui into his house. Wang Fugui got straight to the point and said, "To be honest, I'm also here because of your abilities, Mr. Jiang. But I don't need you to do anything dangerous on my end. Besides, I, Yun Su, can give you very good treatment."
Jiang Lin was taken aback. "What does President Wang want me to do? Don't tell me you want me to fight and kill? Let me say this in advance, I'm really not interested in fighting and killing, nor am I willing to be a bodyguard for the rich and powerful. "
"I don't want to fight and kill." Wang Fugui waved it off with a smile. "What I want you to do is nothing more than revitalize the Northwest. Now that the Northwest is going to have a major water conservancy project, although I, Wang Fugui, can't participate in the macro-economic development, I can still contract projects. In the eyes of others, Mr. Jiang is a supernatural being and a weapon. But in the eyes of our Yun Su, Mr. Jiang should be able to become our chief engineer! "
"I've never studied engineering before …." Jiang Lin was a little confused. This was the first time he had seen someone use a superpower like this. An earth-element Awakened working in engineering? That seemed a little interesting.
Wang Fugui said with a smile, "You don't have to know how to do engineering. We'll come up with the blueprints, and we'll even have professionals to guide you on how to do it, Mr. Jiang. What you need to do is put your abilities to use in the construction of the Northwest. Changing the terrain is what you're best at. If you can't even dig a foundation pit in a second, I, Wang Fugui, will be able to earn back the compensation we've given you."
Only those who had done engineering work would understand how important an Earth Awakened could be in the construction of a project.
Seeing that the water conservancy project was about to be built in Stronghold 144, as long as Yun Su could contract one of the projects, it would not be a problem to support a supernatural being like Jiang Lin.
When Wang Fugui saw that Jiang Lin was a little tempted, he asked with a smile, "How much is your annual salary now, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Lin hesitated before saying, "80,000 yuan."
Wang Fugui waved his hand. "I'll give Mr. Jiang an annual salary of 800,000 yuan, along with a villa in Stronghold 144 and a car. In addition, there'll be a year-end bonus and dividends. How do you feel about that? You should also know that your superpower is just a weapon in the eyes of others. But it's only with us, Yun Su, that you can make the best of it. As a supernatural being, you can only do the most mediocre of jobs. Don't you feel aggrieved? "
These words struck a chord in Jiang Lin's heart. As a supernatural being, he should not have to worry about food and clothing. But just because he was tired of killing, he could only work and live as a normal person. This made him feel a little aggrieved.
Now, his opportunity had arrived.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, Wang Fugui immediately added, "You also know my background. This is the Young Marshal's private property. If I work for the Young Marshal in the Northwest, I won't have to worry too much about my future prospects."
Even Zhou Yingxue knew that they had to make use of Ren Xiaosu's influence, so how could a businessman like Wang Fugui not know about it? Although Wang Fugui looked simple and honest, he had been doing business for decades. How could a truly honest person gain a foothold in the stronghold's town?
Even though he had principles, he still had to earn money!
If this talent could not be used by the Northwest Army, he couldn't blame the Northwest Chamber of Commerce for poaching him away. Moreover, this was also to coordinate with the Young Marshal's plans to develop the Northwest. With such a talent joining the water conservancy construction, the progress would be faster.
Because of Jiang Lin, Wang Fugui had not even had dinner yet!
Wang Fugui said with a smile, "How about it, Mr. Jiang? You won't be able to find another company in the entire Northwest that offers such generous benefits. "
Jiang Lin had already made up his mind.
