”Wang Cheng (Jiang Xiao) pays respect to His Excellency!”
Soon, Wang Cheng and Jiang Xiao came to Junior Leopard.
”Take a seat!” Junior Leopard said.
They thanked him and sat down.
The arrival of Junior Leopard not only enhanced the combat capacity of the Water Army Camp, but also brought a lot of benefits and advantages. In addition, he led them to occupy the entire River Heart Island. Therefore, after a period of adjustment, the Water Army Camp soldiers could be said to be united as one, especially generals like Wang Cheng and Jiang Xiao. They had been much warmer and more respectful to him than before and really accepted him as their superior.
Junior Leopard had also managed to win over their hearts. Therefore, during this period he and the Navy of Jiang City got along very well, like a couple going on a honeymoon. He believed that the honeymoon period would continue.
”You all know that Zhu Ba is going to build a goods yard, right?”
”Yes, he's a big mouth. What can he hide?” Wang Cheng laughed and cursed, ”But that's a really good idea. I had the same idea and was ready to tell Your Excellency. I didn't expect him to beat me to the punch!”
Junior Leopard smiled. But Jiang Xiao who sat beside pulled the corners of his mouth and thought that it would have been a shame for Wang Cheng to take the credit that belonged to the moronic Zhu Ba for himself. He definitely was more and more stupid.
”To build a goods yard is a good idea, but I don't trust Zhu Ba to take charge of it. He's a lustful and outspoken guy that is addicted to alcohol. Even if you're content to let him manage the money, I'm not. The first thing I want you to do today is to help me to see who can be responsible for the goods yard after it is built.”
”This!”
Neither of them was prepared. They did not know what Junior Leopard was thinking. After all, building a goods yard on River Heart Island could bring huge benefits.
The terrain of River Heart Island was flat and very suitable for building a goods yard. Although, in nominal terms, the Navy of Jiang City only owned the port of River Heart Island and the drill ground, there was no clear standard. Just a little extension of the navy's drill ground and camp would be enough to build the largest goods yard in Jiang City. As soon as the goods yard was established, River Heart Island would soon develop into a cargo hub of the entire Jiang City, even the whole Zhonghe City.
Therefore, the people who managed the goods yard could naturally benefit enormously from it.
That was why they looked at each other and did not knew what to say.
”Forget it. I don't think you're ready. Think about it after you go back!” Looking at their embarrassing appearances, Junior Leopard knew their thoughts. He just waved his hand and said, ”Speaking of the goods yard, there's one other thing I'm worried about!”
”Your Excellency, go ahead, please!”
”The location of River Heart Island is too important and too sensitive. Although this time we got all the ports of River Heart Island, it doesn't mean that the island is ours. In fact, I think you all know that it's impossible for Jiang City to give us the whole River Heart Island. It's good enough to be able to maintain the status quo. I believe that neither His Excellency Magistrate nor His Excellency Garrison won't be indifferent to the fact that we are going to build a goods yard here!”
”Do they dare to stop Your Excellency?”
”They won't stop, but they can also build goods yards here!” Junior Leopard smiled, ”River Heart Island is so big, and the terrain is flat. You can build a goods yard as large as you want. We can build and so can they. After all, the River Heart Island belongs to Jiang City. I believe that in a few days, His Excellency Magistrate will send someone to measure the land to determine our territory!”
Hearing this, Wang Cheng's face grew darker. But Jiang Xiao was relaxed, with a smile on his face, he said, ”Your Excellency must have a countermeasure, right?”
”I don't have any countermeasure. The only chance is to take as much ground as possible when measuring, especially around the port. In this way, even if they also build a goods yard here in the future, our goods yard is the closest place to the port!”
”Your Excellency, have you ever thought about occupying the entire River Heart Island?” Jiang Xiao asked with a smile.
”Yes, I have. But it's not the time. Right now it's a foolish thing to occupy the entire River Heart Island!” Junior Leopard said and glanced at Jiang Xiao meaningfully, ”Your Excellency Jiang, you know, sometimes it's not always a good thing to get too fast!”
The smile was frozen on Jiang Xiao's face. He forced a smile and said, ”Your Excellency is right!”
”It's just that we can't rest easy now. I believe His Excellency Magistrate and His Excellency Garrison are trying to drive me out of Jiang City!”
”How dare they!”
