Near the North Pass of Songjiang River, outside the independent lounge of the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 356th Garage Corps, a middle-aged man tidied up his clothes and reached out to knock on the door.

"Enter!"

The battalion commander inside shouted.

The middle-aged man pushed the door open and entered, and asked with a smile: "Are you not asleep yet?"

"Why are you doing something when you read a book?" the battalion commander asked after putting down the book, sat up from the bed.

"Well, let me tell you something." The middle-aged man pulled a chair, sat down beside the bed, and handed out the report in his hand: "Look at this."

The battalion commander took two or three pages of A4 paper report, glanced a few times and asked, "Is Wu Tianyin so?"

"Yes." The young voice in the middle of the year replied to the battalion leader of the first battalion: "This kid has been making a lot of noise in Erlonggang recently. He has established an autonomous security association and claimed that there are 1,000 people."

"Nonsense, how many people are in our battalion?" The battalion commander curled his lips and replied, "He has only been in Erlonggang for a few years!"

"No, I have actually been paying attention to him for more than a year." Middle-aged man waved his hand and continued in a low voice: "Even if he doesn't have a thousand people, he must have a few hundred people including the horse-drawn cart food."

The battalion commander looked shocked: "Is there so many?"

"Yes!" After the middle-aged man took out a cigarette box and handed it to the battalion commander, he continued to explain in detail: "There are several key reasons why Wu Tianyin can stand up in Erlonggang. First, he came to Erlonggang with start-up funds. You know, it was the more than 8 million that Chalk Investment Bank had been extorted in the kidnapping case. Second, before Wu Tianyin left Songjiang, he had done many major cases, but he has not been arrested until now. Not long after he arrived in Erlonggang, he heard that Qin Yu had found a channel to enter Xianger. As soon as the person came back, he was killed by He Zixiang, so he had a very famous reputation on the ground. Third, don't forget that the reason why Wu Tianyin was sentenced to more than ten years was not that he committed another crime, but that he had some experience in gathering people."

When the battalion commander heard this, he frowned.

"In the past year, many people who can't make money inside and outside the district have joined him. Although he is doing business in Erlonggang for daily necessities and medicines, he does not mainly make profits. He is very popular with the public at a very low price, so he is very popular. In addition, He Zixiang fell down. He has money and guns, and no one dares to call him. He can balance income and expenditure, and can not only make money to support people, but also gain a good reputation." Middle-aged man continued to add in a low voice: "...so there is a reason why he can stand up. This person is not like the kind of thunder that is mixed on the ground. He obviously has a long-term vision of development."

"What does that autonomous security mean?" asked the battalion commander.

"Wu Tianyin told the public that no matter whether it is in Erlonggang or outside Erlonggang, as long as someone finds him and pays the security club monthly, the security club will solve all problems on the ground." The middle-aged man took a sip of cigarettes and said with a serious expression: "When the trade in the planning area is long gone, we have been used to being free and casual. In the past, everyone was doing their own business and fighting if they could not reach a negotiation, which would naturally lead to a situation where it is difficult for small and medium-sized buyers and sellers to start and survive. Therefore, people like He Zixiang who have some connections in the garrison can shovel it up. But for Wu Tianyin to do this, as long as the small and medium-sized buyers and sellers pay him, he can fight for others. In this way, the situation around Erlonggang may change."

After pondering for a while, the battalion commander asked softly: "Will anyone pay the money for him that security?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man whispered: "Those families in the mountains who have paid off coal privately, I've talked to him. I heard that they will give tens of thousands a month."

"So fast?"

"You don't know that those who are exploring coal are similar to printing money. As long as they are brave and don't be afraid of being punished. With some care from the garrison, they dare to dig pits and get coal, so they set up guns and do things every day in the mountains." Middle-aged man replied with a very understanding of the actual situation: "But now if you pay some money to Wu Tianyin, he will send someone to help you protect your interests. As long as you are not a fool, you will definitely find him. Is it more than tens of thousands of yuan a month?"

When the battalion commander heard this, he finally realized the importance of this matter.

"In my experience, if Wu Tianyin messes up a group of people every day, and shoots guns and grabs business in Erlonggang, he will be done sooner or later. But if he messes up this security club and continues to do it in this mode, he will definitely stand up." The middle-aged man said with a serious expression: "He understands one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"When the planning area is chaotic, there is no law, but there must be rules. This is what the people at the bottom are looking for." The middle-aged man said in a short speech: "People with large physical fitness want money, but middle- and lower-level people want to support their families and live a stable life."

The battalion commander was silent.

"If you don't want to say that, after Wu Tianyin's security meeting, we... have less income outside the district." The middle-aged man gestured to rub money: "In the past, people who went to the ground to do business would handle us appropriately, but now many of them are looking for Wu Tianyin because he is in Erlonggang. There is really something wrong. It is more convenient for him to come forward than us. People in your camp cannot move just by saying anything."

The battalion commander put out the cigarette butts, took the report and looked at it again, saying, "I have to tell the team about this."

"Yes, let's see what the group means." Middle-aged nodded.

"...I never expected that this person who can't stay in Songjiang can make a fuss in Erlonggang." The battalion commander sighed and said, "This day, it's really given many opportunities."

...

Somewhere in Erlonggang, six large yards were almost filled with daily necessities. People of twenty or thirty were standing at the door, selling goods to the outside world.

Wu Tianyin was wearing a military coat and sitting on a long chair with a beard, and said softly to Xiaoxun: "I told you that you should release goods appropriately and not do wholesale!"

"Someone came from afar and wanted to bring some goods back to relatives, so I put them in batches." Xiao Xun explained.

"Help me get nothing." Wu Tianyin said speechlessly: "These people took the goods back and must have been selling them at a price. When they make money, they will be scolding you!"

"Okay, I'll control the amount." Xiao Xun nodded.

Wu Tianyin thought for a long time and said again: "Since people who are far away are not easy to come and buy goods, then drive a few points. If you find someone to do it, let's work hard and don't let others run away here."

"Okay!" Xiao Xun nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, An Zai walked in from outside and said, "Brother, the coal miner is here."

Wu Tianyin stood up, pointed out of the door and said, "Go to the mountain to talk."

...

Nanhu, downstairs of Tianhong Building.

Hanhan held the shaking Qin Yu and frowned and reminded: "Look at the steps!"

"I won't go, I won't go, I'll drink too much, I'll go back." Qin Yu waved his hand and shouted at everyone, then turned around and told Lao Mao a few words: "Arrang everyone for me!"

"Don't worry, go back to cultivate the land, leave everything to me, be sure!" The old cat gestured with an OK gesture.

"You are indeed the eunuch I rely on the most." Qin Yu patted Lao Mao's shoulder with relief, pulled Hanhan and turned around and left.
