Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 316 Coming out of seclusion
The second half of the 23rd year of the Republic of China passed quickly. For the circle of extraordinary people, there were only two things that people in the circle paid attention to, or cared about. The first was that the incident of the dragon falling outside the Great Wall came to an end.

The second thing is that no one knows what the Tianshi Mansion, as the leader of the righteous Xuanmen, has done to displease the government in power. Now it is being tortured by the government's decree on the standards for the survival of temples. The Tianshi is half-empty in the Tianshi Mansion, and all the power of the Tianshi falls into the hands of Zhang Enpu, a descendant of Zhang Daoling's Tianshi family. Taking the opportunity of climbing up the big tree of the government, he has the style of unifying Taoism.

For many aristocratic families and sects, they don't care how the Tianshi Mansion offended the current ruler. They just think about what benefits they can get from the National Government's plan to frame the Tianshi Mansion and try to split it from within.

In the past, they naturally did not dare to touch the tiger's whiskers of the Tianshi Mansion, the leader of the Zhengyi lineage, and the value of the Golden Light Curse and the Five Thunders Law was not false.

But now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Taoism is the biggest victim of the government's order on the standards for the survival and abolition of temples. The power to judge which temples should be preserved and which should be abolished is in the hands of a disciple named Zhang Enpu.

Naturally, they did not dare to covet the means of the Tianshi Mansion, nor could they afford it with their size. However, they did have the responsibility of taking over one or two major skills from other Taoist temples, taking advantage of Zhang Enpu's use of this standard to unify Taoism and eliminate dissidents.

The circle of extraordinary people is like this, it has never been harmonious, and the so-called righteous path actually contains a lot of filth.

But compared to Quan Xing who labeled himself as an evil person, no matter how dirty the righteous people are, at least their eating habits will not be that ugly, and they will leave some wiggle room.

Otherwise, in the subsequent Jiashen disaster, Feng Tianyang, a shaman from Liangshan who mastered one of the Eight Great Skills, namely, the skill of capturing spirits and dispatching generals, would not have lived such a comfortable life. Not only could he escape unscathed, but he was also able to marry, have children, start a family, and establish a Tianxiahui group.

As for why the others ended up dead, to put it bluntly, you didn't want the conditions they gave you, and you didn't agree to them, and you didn't want any leeway. So don't blame us for being cruel. Moreover, at that time, the righteous people basically stood on the moral high ground, and you couldn't say that they were wrong to do so.

In the current circle of extraordinary people, apart from those who are wealthy and powerful enough to remain calm, many sects that want to go further are also secretly making moves and trying to fish in troubled waters.

As for those outside the circle, the big thing was just this one thing: the victorious Kuomintang was chasing the Red Army that had begun to move, and was trying to use this as an excuse to make those local troops who only obeyed orders and not propaganda consume their manpower on this, while they themselves sat back and reaped the benefits, expanding and consolidating their own rule.

But they won’t interfere too much in the affairs of the temple.

Just like in past dynasties, we will show our sincerity to the winner, and everyone will be well. We will do what you say if we think it is appropriate. If it is not appropriate, we will give you some face so that neither of us will lose face.

On Wang Yi's side, he also received news about what happened in Tianshi Mansion. He also knew that the faction headed by Zhang Huaiyi was suppressed and excluded by Zhang Enpu's faction in Tianshi Mansion, but Zhang Enpu was still clear-headed.

He knew that any fight between himself and Zhang Huaiyi was the Tianshi Mansion's own business. If he really drove the group of people represented by Zhang Huaiyi out of the Tianshi Mansion, it would undoubtedly be a self-defeating move for both himself and the Tianshi Mansion.

The value of the person who impersonated Zhang has long been certified by the disciples of Tianshi Temple and people in the circle. For both public and private reasons, he will not be ruthless to his fellow disciples of Zhang Huaiyi's faction.

But he would not let them interfere too much in the affairs of the Tianshi Mansion, nor would they jump around in front of him and cause him discomfort.

After asking Liu Wei to send more trustworthy people to find out the internal information of Tianshi Mansion, Wang Yi also focused on the operation of the company after the incident of the dragon falling outside the pass was resolved.

It is now the 23rd year of the Republic of China, and there are only three years left until the July 7 Incident.

It is impossible for the Japanese occupying the areas outside the Great Wall to limit themselves to managing the three provinces they have taken over. In other words, they cannot suppress the middle and lower-level officers. Even if there are sober high-level officials who want to manage the three provinces outside the Great Wall into a second motherland and slowly erode China, they will be forced into an all-out war by the middle and lower-level officers.

Since the battle will not be postponed or advanced, if I don’t take advantage of this rare period of time to practice my internal skills, I would be really stupid.

So during this year, through the efforts of Wang Yi and Liu Wei, they opened up the internal connections of the National Government. Wang Yi also set up six major regions in addition to the Northeast, namely North China, East China, Central China, South China, Northwest China, and Southwest China, in accordance with the zoning plan of the Nadutong Company.

Boss Zhao, who is cooperating with him, is the person in charge of the North China region, and his deputy Liu Wei is the person in charge of the East China region. Before, when the company was first established, You Baiyun, who came from a family of sorcerers, also served as the person in charge of the South China region after so many years of experience.

There are three remaining regions: Northwest, Southwest and Central China. Although Wang Yi already has a candidate in mind, now is not the right time.

In the Northwest region, Wang Yi was naturally left to the beastly teacher Lao Meng.

However, his temperament changed drastically after he obtained preliminary data from the Japanese invaders outside the Great Wall in 1933 on their human experiments on supernatural beings, immortals and ordinary people.

The easy-going, good-natured master Lao Meng is gone. He has become somewhat cold and indifferent, turning from a piece of warm jade into a cold jade that emits biting chill.

After returning to the interior of the country, he asked Wang Yi for a secret room. Except for the necessary supplies, no one was allowed to disturb him. He wanted to use the information based on the blood, tears, and bones of his compatriots to start advancing to the stage of biologist.

Simply put, it means seclusion. After all, the step from an animal master to a biologist cannot be achieved overnight. Lao Meng's descendants obtained the Medicine Fairy Association's comprehensive research data on how Gu and humans coexist over the years. With the support of company resources, it took them several years to create their own school of biologists, not to mention that what they got here were just materials similar to a rough draft.

If Wang Yi wanted to advance to a biologist capable of controlling prokaryotes before the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, he could only hope that God would be on his side and give him a push.

After Lao Meng becomes a biologist, he will ask Lao Meng to go to the Republic of China branch of the Continental Hotel in the Shanghai International Settlement first, and try to cooperate with the pioneering research team of Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin, who is stationed there, to discover the miracle drug penicillin in advance.

Penicillin was his biggest gain when he first went to the United States. He made a fortune by taking advantage of the financial crisis. Not only did he establish a solid overseas base, but he also packed up Fleming's team, which discovered penicillin but was ignored in the early days, and threw them to the United States. Relying on the American loan shark national destiny buff that he had at the time, he had already figured out the cultivation, but had not made any breakthroughs in high-quality strains.

This step is purely a matter of time and luck. If Lao Meng can advance to a biologist, the time can be shortened a lot.

One of the methods used by biologists is to use their own Qi to make the bacteria controlled by their Qi proliferate in an extraordinary way. The screening process can therefore be shortened a lot, and high-yield, high-quality strains can be found more quickly for cultivation and extraction.

As long as this step can be accomplished, he will immediately arrange for Lao Meng to bring the family fortune accumulated over the years, including but not limited to the yellow-feathered chickens that Lao Meng has been breeding with animal husbandry techniques since the 14th year of the Republic of China, whose meat-to-grain ratio is infinitely close to that of white-feathered chickens in later generations, and the pig bristles that have been stockpiled since this year.

These two are the few secrets of Wang Yi in the company that are not known to others. The former is an accidental success. Although the meat-to-grain ratio is not as good as the white-feathered chicken, which was later artificially cultivated, and a single individual can only grow to three pounds at most, it is better in that it can be released quickly, and the meat-to-grain ratio is affordable for ordinary poor families, and the meat quality is also acceptable.

The latter are the military supplies that Wang Yi has been storing.

Wang Yi's idea was very simple. The Northwest Region was the base where Mr. Sun Yat-sen had his base after his successful Long March, and it could be regarded as the rear base for Mr. Sun Yat-sen and his team after the unified anti-Japanese front.

After Lao Meng successfully advances in this direction as a biologist, he will go to Shanghai first to cooperate with Fleming's advanced research team to identify high-quality penicillin strains. Then he will take the extracted penicillin and these two things and go directly to the Northwest Region to take charge.

Chicken seedlings and penicillin can be used for self-use, while pig bristles can be regarded as the only strategic materials among the Allied Powers that the Republic of China could obtain large amounts of aid from by taking the initiative during the strategic stalemate phase during the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

These supplies were brought over by Lao Meng and handed over to Mr. Wang. With his means and talents, they were enough to get a lot of good assistance to the Eighth and Fourth Masters after the reorganization. Moreover, these assistances would be escorted by his company, which had woven layers of protection networks in the government and was interdependent. It was safe and convenient.

Another reason is naturally Lao Meng himself. With the great changes outside the Great Wall, the advancement of his own methods was built on the corpses and suffering of his compatriots. No matter how strong his mind is, Wang Yi can see that Lao Meng already has some self-destructive tendencies.

This is not good. If we send him to Mr. Li's place, where Zhang Zhiwei will be watching over him and where the military and civilians are close friends as this is an old district, perhaps his self-destructive tendencies can be reversed.

As for the Southwest Region, Wang Yi wanted to hand it over to his only apprentice, Yan Shuangying.

However, he is still training in the Tang Sect. Even if he wants to make arrangements, it will not be done in the short term. It is still early. The war will last for many years. In addition to the means, he also needs some experience.

As for the Central China region, I can only handle it part-time for now. There are always some things that are more convenient for me as the founder of the company to do.

At the company's annual summary meeting that year, Wang Yi also announced this decision in front of many wealthy businessmen, representatives of the national government and warlords from each region who had joined in.

"Everyone, these are the plans I made. Some of these six regions have been built, and some are still in preparation. But preparation is preparation, and business cannot stop. No matter who is behind you, you are involved in my company because you are attracted by the American consortium behind me. The American consortium also trusts me as a partner and let me be fully responsible for all business dealings in the Republic of China.

As for me, I have no other skills, but I have great means, many backers, and a lot of money. However, I am also very easy to talk to. As long as you don't break the rules, everyone present and the people behind you will make money. Harmony brings wealth. Here, I also thank you for your kindness and accepting my courtesy. "

Representatives from all parties were so polite to Wang Yi that they quickly spoke nice words to compliment him, not thinking that there was anything wrong with what Wang Yi said.

These people, or the people behind them, are all well-connected people. Naturally, they understand what kind of trouble this young man who is about to turn 30 has caused in the United States and what his own level of strength is.

Otherwise, why has the Japanese Embassy been so well-behaved in the Beijing embassy circle in recent years and dared not to jump around in the area where the company is located.

Because they all knew what Wang Yi did when he went outside the Great Wall. If he really did something, the other party would definitely kill everyone in their embassy, ​​and it would be a reasonable death. There was no way they could suspect Wang Yi.

They were too far away from the Kwantung Army outside the Great Wall and too close to Wang Yi's company.

As for using one's own death to give the empire an excuse to go to war with the Republic of China, well, not every country's ambassador has the same awareness as the Han Dynasty envoys, daring to use their own death to expand the country's territory.

With such an impartial third party doing business with them, they are not afraid of being at a disadvantage. After all, they have seen and dealt with the Americans before, so there is no need to argue too much with them. They also know that there is a foreign army in the Shanghai International Settlement for them to mobilize, not to mention that there is also a young marshal within the National Government to support him.

As for making money, as long as the money is in your pocket, feeding the people behind you and filling yourself up, who cares where the money comes from? You can't risk your life. How can you make money if you risk your life?

Just when everyone agreed with Wang Yi's six-area plan and the rule that no matter how fierce the fight was, no action could be taken against third-party caravans with the Sitong Company logo, a subordinate walked in hurriedly.

"Boss, Master Qin asked me to tell you that something seems to have happened with Master Meng."

Hearing this, Wang Yi frowned, looked at Liu Wei, and after leaving the place to Liu Wei to entertain, he left the table with his subordinates and rushed towards the house.

Wang Yiyi protected his subordinate's neck with one hand and circulated his true Qi. In a moment, he returned to his house.

At this time in the courtyard of the mansion, all the servants, the housekeeper, and the four elderly people who were living there, Mr. Qin Erye, Mr. Chang Siye, and You Baiyun's grandparents were gathered together.

He looked at a room with a sad expression.

When Wang Yi arrived, he saw that the room was covered with corpses. They were all birds that had passed by, and the surrounding Cordyceps and house mice were all lying on the ground.

An aura of death shrouded the room.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yi understood that this was a sign that Lao Meng, who had been in seclusion for a long time, had officially advanced from the animal master stage to the biological master stage.

He immediately took the lead, with his true Qi protecting his body, and walked towards the area full of dead things, while also speaking loudly.

"Meng, congratulations, aren't you going to come out and meet your old friends?"
