The relationship between the old farmer and Bi Jin cannot be considered good, but it cannot be said to be bad either.

The two had no interaction at all, but after Bi Jin and I got along well, they became more in touch. Usually, I asked the old farmer to find people. Regardless of whether they were looking for people or not, the old farmer would come back alone. Last time he was talking about business with Liu Qing, Bi Jin simply ignored him and came by himself.

It’s not that Bi Jin is too arrogant or hates old farmers. He is very generous to old farmers. Every time he runs errands, he will reward one or two yuan. If it is a big deal or in a good mood, he will even reward five yuan. The careful viewer must have already found out. I use “reward”, not “giving”, which is the fundamental reason for the bad relationship between the two.

In Bi Jin's opinion, he was a rich young master and an officer. The old farmer was just a soldier without power. The two were superiors and subordinates, and there was a clear gap in family background, so in front of the old farmer, he always looked arrogant because he was indeed superior - in fact, not only the old farmer, but also the same for other soldiers.

The old farmer didn't say this, but he was definitely unhappy. He knew that he was inferior to others, but he felt uncomfortable being looked down upon. I can understand that he felt uncomfortable.

Now, he has become an officer. Although his status is still much lower than Bi Jin, he is at least one level higher than before. He dares to say what he did not dare to say before and has the confidence to say it now.

"Master Gun, the Master Bi family is very nice to you. But how do you say it? This person is too arrogant and always wants to take care of you. Oh, if we don't talk about others, just talk about us. Your relationship with me is similar to that of the Master Bi family and you, right? You are nice to me, but you never care about me. Even if you make arrangements for me, what I need and what I want.

Why is this? Because you think for me, not for yourself. You think for me, so you will give me what I need and what I want. How do you say that? It's like snow... in the snow... uh, it's very cold, and then you gave me a stove-"

"Help in time." Gun Bairen couldn't help but remind.

"Oh yes! Helping him in time!" The old farmer slapped his forehead, "Brother Bai is also a cultural person! Oh! He is still a cultural person, and he speaks well. He expresses his meaning in just a few words!"

"What you mean is that the leader is good to people, and it is the kind of good to send carbon from the snow, isn't the young master of the Bi family?"

"Oh yes!" The old farmer nodded affirmatively, "Master Gun, don't blame me for being rude. If you want me to see, he is just fiddling with people. Your future achievements will definitely be greater than him, why should he let him fiddle with them? It's true that he treats you well, but you don't owe him anything! He treats you well, just treat him well, why do you always listen to him?"

The old farmer didn't know about reselling arms, did not know about Bi Jin helping me take over Jialong's industry, and did not know about Bi Jin's business for me, so he said this.

The reselling of arms was the secret between Bi Jin and me. I couldn't tell the old farmer, but I could tell him the last two things. After learning that Bi Jin had helped me, the old farmer's attitude was slightly relieved, but he still disagrees with me always listening to Bi Jin's words.

"Isn't this the busiest period? Why are you still free to come to me?"

In order to change the topic, I asked the old farmer.

"It's really busy, but you don't have to be there all the time. Brothers are very proud of your face - hehe, mainly to give you face, and they are all obedient. Moreover, after the reorganization, everyone is happy. There has been a lot of money during this period, and even if I don't lead the team, everyone is happy to work."

"Have the troops organized changed?"

"Not yet, but the numbers have been changed, and they are all downgraded. The regiment has changed to battalion, battalion has changed to company, company has changed to platoons, hehe, if I do this, I just happen to be the platoon leader."

"You are the platoon leader...what is Min Hai?"

"Ah, he was transferred away, and it seemed that he was going to the third battalion of the first town to be the company commander. The regiment commander - uh, no, now he is the battalion commander. The battalion commander said, I will correct the New Year after the New Year - Ah! By the way, there is also that after the New Year, the adaptation will be made before the holiday."

“How long did it take to be adapted?”

"I don't know, I heard from the deputy regiment commander - uh, the deputy battalion commander, that it will take at least one month. But the officer can take a few days off and go home or something, so it won't be delayed."

"After the adaptation, will the military rank still be the same?"

"Ah, it seems that it is necessary to surrender. But the newly promoted officer will not surrender, just like me, I will not surrender. After the Chinese New Year, the regiment commander - Ah, bat! The battalion commander will become a lieutenant colonel, and the deputy battalion commander will become a major. I heard that a large amount of compensation can be given."

"Does the general surrender?"

"Some have dropped, some have not dropped." The old farmer thought about it carefully, "I remember who said that those who have been reduced can receive money after they have been reduced, and those who have not been reduced have been transferred away, as if they have been transferred to other places."

"I've been transferred to another place..."

"Ah, by the way, the transportation company has been disbanded. The cavalry regiment has also been demolished, as if it is going to become a reconnaissance company. I heard that the transportation company's cars have been sent here, and it seems that they have been bought by you or something."

Lin Zhongsheng told me about this. The transportation company of the old Seventh Legion was indeed disbanded, and the new Seventh Legion received it - to be precise, some of the vehicles were purchased, and the remaining cars were taken away by the generals of the old Seventh Legion.

These cars were originally theirs. With the situation of the old Seventh Legion, how could the superiors configure them with so many cars? It is said that the original Seventh Legion had no cars at all, and the equipment and supplies were pulled with mule carriages.

Later, the Seventh Legion was continuously weakened by the constitutionalists and gradually lost its combat functions, which made the senior legion leaders not want to do things well. If they cannot do serious things, they can only do unreasonable things - such as making money.

Those who can become generals must have no shortage of money. At that time, Western countries were dumping cars in the Central Plains, so these generals gathered the rich officers below, bought a batch of cars with them, and trained a batch of drivers, so they asked them to take the live and earn money, and distributed the money they earned in proportion. Later, the old Seventh Army bought several batches of cars and trained several batches of drivers, so the old Seventh Army had so many cars.

In order to save costs, they organized vehicles and drivers into the army and asked them to receive wages from the Ministry of National Defense. Although the constitutionalists have been suppressing the Seventh Army, they are nervously suppressing it. Because they suppressed a built-up legion. If the Seventh Army gets angry and has a mutiny, they will have to be in trouble.

The top leaders of the Seventh Corps were willing to turn their attention to money, which was exactly the result that the constitutionalists wanted. Therefore, in this matter, they turned a blind eye and allowed the Seventh Corps to organize the convoy into the army and receive the salary from the Ministry of National Defense. However, the gasoline money and the maintenance costs of cars still had to be paid by the Seventh Corps themselves.

After that, the old Seventh Legion became even less like a regular legion, or even more like an army, but like a group of businessmen wearing military uniforms. Since cars were bought in their personal name, once personnel changes occur, such as if a car owner retires or transfers, the cars under his name will be taken away together.

Some car owners want cash but not cars. They will sell the cars to the legion. After the legion purchased these cars, these cars became the "common property" of the legion. Only the generals have a share of the money earned from these cars. The main thing that the new Seventh Legion purchased is these "common property", and the money for selling the car was divided by the generals.

There were also former generals who were willing to give up their rank of general and stay in the town army. In order to establish a good relationship with the new Seventh Corps, they symbolically sold some cars. However, the number was very small, and there were only less than twenty in total.
