Picturesque mountains and rivers of the motherland

In the end, Bai Ting did not shake off Lou Kaimo.

It's not so stupid or naive that Bai Ting came back to replace Niu Colu's Bai Ting, purely because Bai Ting couldn't book a spaceship ticket back to Huaxia Star this week, and even the various transfer tickets for going around were sold out. up.

And Lou Kaimo, very timely, proposed to send everyone back.

Bai Ting was not hypocritical, and no longer refused.

Ordinary friends should help each other, and it's meaningless to be too tweaky.

Lou Kaimo also knew about Daqu, so he was responsible for the delivery task conscientiously and did not get entangled.He knows well that emotional matters should not be rushed, and Bai Ting's character has always been soft rather than hard.Besides, Shenglou Group still has matters to deal with.

On the third day after returning to Huaxia Star, Bai Ting ushered in an unexpected visitor.

Huaxia Star Aboriginal Communicator.

Red Dragon: Boss Bai, didn't you agree to only collect treasures in designated areas?Why are these people so unruly today?

The treasure in the mouth of the Red Dragon refers to the coal it guards, which is called Heijinsu in the federation.

Bai Ting had negotiated a mining contract with Lin Tuanyu, the deputy marshal of the Seventh Army, and the other party had always followed the contract without breaking the rules.

Bai Ting hurried to the map of Xinjiang, and sure enough, he saw several mining machines starting construction outside the designated area.

Bai Ting stepped forward to negotiate with him, but the other side ignored him.

Bai Ting contacted Lin Tuoyu to inquire about the situation, Lin Tuoyu was also puzzled, he has always followed the contract, did not increase the mining manpower, and repeatedly emphasized the mining scope and regulations.

Seeing that things were about to develop in the direction of Rashomon, Bai Ting kept on doing nothing, and asked Red Dragon to directly terminate the machinery that was under construction outside the designated area.

Bai Ting's original intention was to obstruct and stop, and after being filtered by Little Red Dragon's thinking, it was directly interpreted as destruction and expulsion. In less than 10 minutes, the mining machinery originally erected disappeared.

At first, the supervisor who ignored Bai Ting was in a hurry, and rushed forward arrogantly: "Boss Bai, what do you mean?"

You come to my house, take my things, what do you mean by asking me now?

Bai Ting didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Where did you come from, sir? Where did you get a job?"

The person in charge is a short and fat man, with his toes high and haughty, the flesh on his face swaying up and down with the voice, panting and calling a projection screen from the authenticator.

On the projection screen is a notification letter, Bai Ting can recognize the words on it, but it is very puzzling when put together.To sum it up in a long story, the Seventh Star Region government assigned the engineering team in front of me to come to Huaxia Star to mine black gold su for free.

Bai Ting said it was an eye-opener.

Looking back at modern history, the shameless European and American tycoons wanted to plunder China's raw materials, and they knew to start the opium business first.

Unexpectedly, in the era of the Federation, all you need to do is to write a notification letter for usurpation.

Can he also write a notice to inform everyone that the Federation will be under his jurisdiction in the future?Although he is not interested.

The other party held his head up, calm and composed, with the appearance of Bai Tinghui apologizing.

The national curse that has not been used for many years surged in Bai Ting's heart, and he was polite on the surface: "Sorry sir, first of all, Huaxia Star is a planet in the fourth star field, even if it is really necessary to mine it for free, it will not be the seventh star's turn. Has the domain government crossed the line? Second, Huaxia Star and the Seventh Star Domain Garrison Seventh Army have already cooperated. Should there be appropriate communication between the government and the military? Third, the federal government protects individual private property, which has seriously violated the protection of people's property right……"

The opponent obviously came prepared, and was not driven back by Bai Ting's one, two, three, four.

"Boss Bai, I know that you are quite famous these days. But you should understand that people don't fight with officials."

Bai Ting rolled his eyes, big brother, it's the federal era, can the lines of ancient costume TV dramas not pop out?

"do not know."

"It's fine if you don't know...Huh?"

The supervisor's eyes, which were originally the size of soybeans, were the size of jujubes, and he was angry at Bai Ting's ignorance.

"Boss Bai, Article 1 of Chapter [-] of the "Federal Emergency Regulations" stipulates that the government has the right to expropriate strategic materials at critical moments of combat readiness. This regulation takes precedence over the private planetary property ownership and property protection rights stipulated in the Federal Law."

Throwing the legal provisions directly is quite deterrent, at least at that moment, Bai Ting was indeed shocked.

And this annoying regulation?

Ten seconds later, Bai Ting recovered from the shock.

He quickly searched for the regulations to confirm the authenticity of the regulations.

The supervisor raised his face, and his smug smile made the flesh on his face piled up.

The regulations are true, but the background of the regulations and the interpretation of the regulations are obviously impossible to be as straightforward as what the other party said.

Although Bai Ting said he studied finance, his second major was law, and he was extremely sensitive to various provisions.He is very clear that the possibility of triggering such regulations is very small, and it is definitely not available at any time and place, allowing him to rely on the regulations to run amok.

Instead of struggling to find relevant legal provisions and interpretations, Bai Ting decided to seek help from the all-knowing Lubi.

Because Lubi is not an NPC, he cannot directly communicate through the Huaxia Star Connector, so Bai Ting had to ask Wu Zetian to throw money on his behalf.

Soon, Bai Ting received the answer, glanced at it, and immediately understood.

"Sir, the regulations you said are correct." Bai Ting was still polite and gentle.

The fat overseer snorted triumphantly, thinking that Bai Ting was going to apologize and was thinking about how to put on a show, but he heard Bai Ting continue.

"However, you may not know enough about the background of this regulation. First of all, the critical moment of combat readiness refers to the state of first-level combat readiness issued by the federal central government. As far as I know, the current federal central government has not announced any state of combat readiness. A very small number of fringe areas are hung with a third-level security to defend against small-scale insect swarms?"

"Secondly, this regulation is not requisitioned anywhere, it has priorities. It is only when the public planet cannot supply it that it will be expropriated from the private planet. And after the expropriation is over, the annual average price of the resource will be used to compensate Lord of the planet."

"Do you think I'm right?"

With Lubi's standard answers in hand, Bai Ting is as confident as he was when he had a teacher's teaching aids when he was a student.

The fat overseer was stagnant. He thought he could bluff the owner of such a small planet with little knowledge and background. Who would think that the other party's legal provisions could be interpreted at his fingertips.

The text is not good, the fat supervisor simply came to the military.

The chubby overseer's soybean eyes signaled that a few tall and thick men came out of the uninvited guests. Judging from their haughty expressions, they must be high-level supernatural beings.

It's a pity that the fat supervisor didn't do a good job of preliminary research, Huaxia Xingwen is not afraid, let alone Wu's.

"Boss Bai, it's not interesting to toast like this without eating fine wine." The fat supervisor said, and several supernatural beings also approached Bai Ting.

Bai Ting sighed softly, and while reporting to him, he said: "We in Huaxia have always paid attention to treating each other with courtesy, but if we want to meet each other with swords, we are also willing to accompany you."

The fat supervisor shook the flesh on his face: "Boss Bai, the Federation is about law and order, but you have to know that some people are born outside the law. I wanted to be polite to you, but you don't know how to flatter, but you just Going to suffer."

"Are you sure it's me who suffered?" Bai Ting asked indifferently.

The fat overseer just thought it was the little planet master who was still talking hard before he was dying, and didn't take it seriously.

Seeing that the abilities of several supernatural beings were about to greet Bai Ting, several NPCs descended from the sky, but within 2 minutes, the supernatural beings were scattered all over the ground.

"Don't worry, I'm not dead." Bai Ting comforted the stunned fat man.

Bai Ting didn't look far away, but only greeted the NPCs near the Xinjiang map, such as Little Red Dragon, King Luo Bin, Xuanzang, Ban Chao, Ban Yong, Yuchi Yiseng, etc.Facts have proved that he is too overqualified. To deal with this group of people, there is no need for so many NPCs. He is a bit like an adult bullying a baby.

It took five or six minutes for the fat overseer to regain his composure and speak the necessary lines for every villain. "Do you know who our boss is?"

Bai Ting: "Li Gang?"

The fat supervisor wanted to say his name to scare Bai Ting, but the words were on his lips, and the remaining brain cells in his fat-filled head reminded him that some words should not be said easily.

In the end, the fat supervisor could only choke out three words: "You wait."

Bai Ting nodded as expected, that's good, the villain's full set of lines is complete.

==

It turns out that this is an extremely effective villain.

Three days later, Bai Ting, who was happily unlocking the map of Shanxi, felt intentional testing from all directions.

The first one to discover the anomaly was Miss Ah Xiang who hangs around the various platforms of the interstellar network all day long.

As usual, Ah Xiang browsed the news of the Federation, lingering at major portals, looking for material for his new work.

However, he soon noticed something strange.

Today's content about Huaxia Star accounts for too much.Even when they participated in the Planetary Beauty Contest a few days ago, during the Four Waves show where many celebrities gathered, and even during the negotiations between the two countries of the Sdeco Federation, which attracted much attention, there was no such a huge number of drafts.

There is nothing unusual about these drafts just by looking at the title, but if you look at the content, you will find that the writers have malicious intentions between the lines.

For example, "Overview of Huaxia Star's Foreign Exchanges", on the surface, it praised Bai Ting's close relationship with the heir to Crown Prince Si Deke, as well as the scholars of the empire, and deep feelings, but in the passages of the text, it secretly hinted that Bai Ting had betrayed the country. Rong, the intention of colluding with foreign domains.

Another example is "On the Responsibility and Responsibility of the Planetary Lord". The whole article only uses Huaxia Star as an example. It seems to be a pertinent analysis, but in fact the central idea is to question Bai Ting's richness, unkindness, selfishness and so on.

Miss Ah Xiang quickly told Bai Ting about the situation.

Bai Ting had just unlocked the ancient city of Pingyao, and was feeling the distance from the fence on the ancient city wall, when he saw a bunch of manuscripts sent by A Xiang.

The black draft has never stopped since the emergence of Huaxia Star. With the spread of Huaxia Star's popularity, it once rose.

Especially in the later stages of the Star Beauty Contest, the angles of Hei Tong's manuscripts were all kinds of strange. If the word "Huaxia Xing" was blocked, Bai Ting would be able to read it all over the world.

Regarding the black draft, Bai Ting's attitude has always been to start from scratch.

Scolding each other with each other is a shrew cursing, which is not in line with my reputation as a state of etiquette in China.

If he didn't scold back, he felt really panicked, and took the blame for what was thrown.

So at this time, Bai Ting insisted not to scold each other, but to start another mountain.If you find fault with me on flat ground, I will stand on a tall building to invalidate your argument, and the argument will naturally not stand.

If you become angry and scold on the ground, I will chant poems and odes to the sky, not only appearing to be indifferent about height and depth, but also throwing a handful of rotten millet and egg liquid from time to time, and smashing them on the opponent's head.

It's just that the draft this time is quite different from before.

The other party obviously came prepared, and he is well versed in the true meaning of literati and inkmen who do not use swords or swords. The drafts and topics are quite standard. Extremely disgusted.

Bai Ting read more than a dozen manuscripts on the homepage of key portal websites, and then received a communication from Rossi.

Rossi, the head of the media who brought together the names of two stars, has always maintained good cooperation with Bai Ting.For example, Bai Ting arranged for the first interview with Planet Beauty after the game for COCO.

"Boss Bai, have you offended anyone recently?" Rossi asked straight to the point.

Bai Ting pretended to be ignorant: "What's wrong?"

Rossi: "Today I received a broadcast from above. One of them is about whether the private planet owner has fulfilled his due responsibilities. The whole article uses Huaxia Star as an example, and none of them are good examples."

Bai Ting: "I'm used to being splashed with ten spoonfuls of this dirty water every day."

Rossi thought that Bai Ting was being negligent, and explained: "This dirty water is different from the small fights in ordinary forums and ordinary websites. Although COCO is not an official media like China Central Satellite Station, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as mainstream public opinion. A loudspeaker, to be able to send out this kind of report, it is obvious that someone has signaled it, and it has a lot of background."

Bai Ting sighed, I just built a river and mountain of the motherland, who did I offend?

But if you think about it, the Qing Dynasty closed the country back then, and it didn't offend anyone, and it wasn't also invaded and divided by tyrants.Later, the rapid rise of Greater China, the only big country that does not engage in colonial plunder, relies on the power of the people to develop rapidly, but it is also regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the Western media.

Sometimes, it's not that you want peace in the world, and the world will treat you with kindness.

==

After Rossi, Bai Ting received "tips" from some friends and clients one after another. Thinking in an optimistic direction, he is usually popular.

The last communication came from "Loukaimo".

In normal times, Lou Kaimo's message would sound immediately at the slightest sign of trouble, making one suspect that Lou is always really busy and is still eyeing the acquisition of Huaxia Star.

Bai Ting took a plate of Pingyao beef, made a bowl of whole lamb soup, and clicked on the video chat.

Lou Kaimo, who was originally worried, fell silent for a moment.

Why did he imagine that Bai Ting couldn't eat.

Lou Kaimo's opening remarks, which he had originally prepared, were forgotten at this moment. Looking at the screen, he finally uttered a sentence: "Is the dark soup delicious?"

Bai Ting took two sips of the hot soup, and said scientifically: "What is black and not autumn? Very delicious."

Lou Kaimo: "Can I drink it next time I go to Huaxia Star?"

Bai Ting: "Yes, the map of Shanxi will be opened to the public in two days. This bowl is priced at 30 federal currency, and it is sold at the receptions of all the scenic spots on the map of Shanxi."

Lou Kaimo: ...

Who wants to drink the soup in the service area of ​​the scenic spot.

Of course what he wanted was cooked by Bai Ting himself.

Lou Kaimo couldn't figure out whether Bai Ting was pretending to be stupid on purpose, or if he really didn't think about it.

Either way is heartbreaking.

Lou Kaimo's heart was blocked for half a minute, and he quickly remembered the original intention of looking for Bai Ting.

I was almost misled by Boss Bai.

Lou Kaimo: "This morning, the public relations department of Shenglou Group discovered a change in public opinion, which was related to Huaxia Star. I asked someone to investigate. The issuer of these drafts came from the Seventh Star Region government."

Unexpectedly, Bai Ting swallowed the mutton balls in his mouth.

Lou Kaimo wasn't sure whether Bai Ting didn't care at all, or he already knew it, and continued: "I asked insiders to help me trace the source, and found that it mainly came from the deputy head of the seventh star field, Zheng Rong."

Lou Kaimo originally wanted to find out, investigate, solve, and deal with the aftermath in one package, without bothering Bai Ting, but this time the parties involved are high-ranking, and Lou Kaimo thinks it is necessary to understand the cause and process.

While clicking on the search engine, Bai Ting searched for the deputy star field chief, and at the same time told Lou Kaimo about the strange things that happened to him a few days ago.

This deputy star field chief is obviously quite famous, and Bai Ting randomly searched for keywords, and there are millions of messages.

Among a bunch of press releases boasting hype and praises, Bai Ting noticed a few private posts with sharp eyes.

These few posts were sunk in the vast sea of ​​literature, because the style of writing was incompatible with other titles, and they were extremely conspicuous.

Bai Ting clicked to check, and found that most of the people who posted the posts were rich and small, and Zheng Rong used public power to rob them.

Lou Kaimo: "The corruption problem in the seventh star field has long been terminally ill, but I never thought that Zheng Rong's hand would reach out to other star fields."

Lou Kaimo told Bai Ting the inside story.

Zheng Rong is quite a legend. He was in business in his early years, and he was engaged in the exploration and mining of planetary resources. Because of the lack of safety protection for front-line employees, many lawsuits were filed against people's lives.But this person is quite resourceful, not only smoothing things out one by one, but also transforming himself a few years later, even entering the political arena, and his official career is smooth, and he is on the rise.

After entering politics, Zheng Rong did not restrain himself, but his methods were much more secretive. He no longer went out in person, but cultivated several minions, including his two deputies back then, and his younger brother, who used public power to seek property for him. .

Bai Ting: "With such corruption, the Federation will let it develop?"

This person's experience can completely make a "In the Name of the Federation".

Lou Kaimo: "The political ecology of the seventh star field is very complicated, with intertwined relationships. In the early years when Shenglou Group opened up the shipping sector, it also had a big somersault in the seventh star field."

"Yo~"

Listening to the true feelings of successful people and sharing their setbacks is quite inspiring.

"However, the military-political relationship in the seventh star field is very tense." Lou Kaimo added. "I suspect that when he attacked Huaxia Star, first, he coveted the resources and properties of Huaxia Star, and second, he might want to make a fuss about the Seventh Army."

Lou Kaimo finally comforted: "Don't worry about this matter, I will settle it."

Bai Ting smiled: "Mr. Lou's appearance is very cool and Wang Po."

Lou Kaimo was puzzled.

Bai Ting didn't explain, stood up, and looked down at the four main streets, eight small streets, and 72 alleys in the ancient city of Pingyao.

Before crossing, Bai Ting once heard people comment on Pingyao like this - if Lijiang is a lotus, Pingyao is a woman in troubled times.

The changes of more than 700 years have made this ancient city look vicissitudes.Every time you lean on the fence in the ancient city, you can feel the solemnity and solidity of history.

Just like this moment.

Bai Ting's heart suddenly burst into tens of thousands of inexplicable confusion.

A thick fog suddenly floated in the distance, leaving only the faint outline of the ancient city.

Before crossing, Bai Ting went to the ancient city of Pingyao and encountered heavy fog several times.It is said that because of excessive coal mining in Shanxi, it is easy to form smoggy weather.

At this moment, time and space have changed, and the dense fog that floats has nothing to do with coal.

But a conspiracy that started with Hei Wujin gradually revealed its shadow in the thick fog.
