The auction was very successful, and it could almost be described as crazy in the final stage. The wealthy businessman's enthusiasm for antiques was really hard to suppress. Almost every antique was immediately pushed to a sky-high price as soon as it shines. I really don't know that I have less money if I don't participate in the auction. The number of rich people among the people is far beyond Hu You's imagination.

Until the last antique was photographed, the crazy and warm atmosphere continued. Whether it was something that had been won or nothing was taken, they were all excited by the atmosphere.

When Hu You left, Wen Jing noticed that there was no smile on Hu You's face. There were many people happy tonight, but Hu You would definitely not be one of them. Wen Jing wanted to chase him out and talk to Hu You, but in the end she didn't do that. She knew that Hu You would probably hope to be quiet alone.

After leaving the venue, Hu You found that it was already past three o'clock in the middle of the night. It took about ten hours from the beginning to the end of the auction.

Ten hours are not a short time, but no one felt bored at the auction, and many people even remained excited throughout the whole process.

Will they be tired?

It should be, but when the auction was going on, they didn't feel this way. Their attention was already filled with antiques. Who said: gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, and now the China Alliance is a big troubled time. Don't antiques still make so many people crazy?

When Liu Bodu came to find Hu You, Hu You had just gotten up shortly after he returned to his residence last night, and Hu You didn't sleep for a few hours in total.

"The military advisor didn't sleep all night?" Hu You asked. In fact, Hu You can see the answer from Liu Bodu's eyes that are comparable to rabbits without asking.

"How can I sleep? Do you know how much money we got last night?" Liu Bodu asked excitedly. Liu Bodu is not a money-loving person, but whenever he thinks of having so much money to earn overnight, Liu Bodu is very excited. With this money, it can solve many hard-working problems.

Before Hu You asked a question, Liu Bodu told Hu You to a number and a considerable number.

"Why didn't you react at all?" Liu Bodu asked strangely when he saw Hu You hear it and didn't hear it, and he was not as excited as him.

"Would you have to react? This is not my money. This is the property of the people of Zhengyang City and the property of the China Alliance." Hu You said lightly. Whether it is antiques or the money obtained from selling antiques, it is all the money of the Chinese people.

"That's right." Liu Bodu nodded vigorously when he heard this.

"Military advisor, you can keep this money. I hope every penny of this money can be used where it should go. This money is hard to get, and wasting a penny is a crime!" Hu You said earnestly.

There is only one museum in Zhengyang City, and it will never be sold again.

"Don't worry, as long as I don't breathe, this money will not be wasted!" Liu Bodu said affirmatively.

All the time, he thought Hu You was just a person who took advantage of the situation to get ahead. This time, he could see that Hu You thought more and saw farther than him.

************************************************************

As the troops of various legions arrived one after another, there were obviously more soldiers in Zhengyang City. As more soldiers became, the people's sense of security became stronger, and there were more pedestrians on the streets.

With 450,000 troops and Sun Dongjiang's First Legion, nearly 500,000 troops gathered around Zhengyang City. Such a force should indeed bring a certain sense of security. At least Marak on the other side dared not be as ready as before.

The sense of security in Zhengyang City is not only felt by the people of Zhengyang City, but also by people from other places. I don’t know when, a large number of people began to move their families to Zhengyang City, including many big families with wealthy families. Their arrival has led to an alternative prosperity in Zhengyang City. In just half a month, the housing prices in Zhengyang City have risen by more than 20%. I believe that as more people move in, housing prices will rise more.

A large number of people poured in, which brought prosperity to Zhengyang City, also brought various social problems. You should know that not only the rich people moved to Zhengyang City, but more of the poor people. These people have no family background, and long-distance migration makes them poorer. It would be okay to have a job in Zhengyang City for good luck. Those who are not very lucky, or are lazy in their lives, and are not thinking about finding a job, bringing prosperity to Zhengyang City.

"I heard that the prison is full of people. If this continues, I am afraid that there will be big problems." Liu Bodu sighed. He, a military advisor, not only has a military strategy, but also has a very accurate view of people's livelihood issues.

"Is there any good way for the military advisor?" Hu You asked. He also knew that if he didn't come up with some solutions, Zheng Yangcheng would be able to break from the inside without the American allies.

"It is hard to say that severe punishments are used in troubled times, so we can only be punished with severe punishment. I suggest that some of the troops be sent out, and anyone who violates the law and discipline will be killed on the spot!" Liu Bodu gritted his teeth. In the past few days, Zheng Yangcheng has had many vicious incidents, and even he has to put down his work and interfere in life. Human energy is always limited. If you deal with such things too much, Liu Bodu will not have so much patience.

"I'm afraid this is not right." Hu You shook his head and said, "Serious punishment can scare some people, but it will also make more people feel uneasy. I have analyzed that most of those who make trouble are unable to find a way to survive and cannot survive in Zhengyang City. In order to survive, even if they have to face severe punishment, they have to do something illegal and disorderly."

Hu You is a person who has been at the bottom of society. He is more reasonable than Liu Bodu. If he can survive, of course no one is willing to die, but when he really can't live, they don't care about so much, and they can do anything.

"What do you think, what are you going to do?" Liu Bodu asked. He also knew that severe punishment is not the only way to solve the problem. Severe punishment can only have a deterrent effect in the early stage. By the time everyone is used to severe punishment, it will no longer be terrible. This is the same as war. When the war just broke out, everyone was unsure, but war became the norm, who would be afraid?

"I want to talk to General Sun Dongjiang first."

***************************************************************

"Prime Minister, you don't say anything in advance if you want to come." When Sun Dongjiang received the news that Hu You came to the position, he still laid a new defense line on the front line. Although his First Legion has not been supplemented since the Battle of Huadu, as part of the Chinese Army, they have not forgotten their responsibilities.

"I also made a temporary decision and didn't disturb the general's normal work." Hu You smiled. This time, Hu You was able to take the position of prime minister, in addition to the full support of the veteran general Zhang Zhen, it was also inseparable from Sun Dongjiang's support. To be honest, Hu You had not had a good impression of Sun Dongjiang in the past, but as everyone contacted more and gained a deeper understanding, the relationship gradually became much better than before.

"It's okay, I'm just busy." Sun Dongjiang shook his head. Because he didn't have many troops in his hand, there were really few things that could really be done. He is doing more now in the defense of the defense zone. No matter how stable Zheng Yang City is, Sun Dongjiang will not forget his responsibilities.

"The general is really hilarious." Hu You shook his head and said, "Although the defense zone of the First Legion is not the most important, if the defense is among the various legions, it is definitely the best. If the general is really busy every day, he will not be able to achieve such results."

A trace of excitement flashed in Sun Dongjiang's eyes. He thought that no one would care about what he did. It turned out that Hu You saw it all. Although he did not want to do it for Hu You to see, it still made him feel comforted by being recognized.

"I don't know what instructions are the Prime Minister here today?" After chatting for a few words, Sun Dongjiang took the initiative to bring the topic to the point. He didn't cooperate much with Hu You, but he also knew that if nothing happened, Hu You wouldn't come here to come and chat. Could it be that Hu You are so idle that he has nothing to do.

"It's really something, I want to discuss it with the general." Hu You followed Sun Dongjiang's words and returned to the topic.

"Prime Minister please make clear."

Hu You waved his hand and said, "We are the only two of us here, just be a little casual. Everyone is this person, and it is not used to being a politician. This is the case. I believe the general also knows that the population of Zhengyang City has increased a lot compared to before. The increase in the population is a good thing, but it also brings a lot of problems. Now the social problems in Zhengyang City are more prominent."

"Does the Prime Minister want me to send troops to suppress me?" Sun Dongjiang hesitated. He naturally knew about Zheng Yangcheng, and he also heard that the superiors were intending to deal with the matter with severe punishment. In addition, Hu You came in person, which forced Sun Dongjiang to think about this.

Hu You shook his head and said, "They are all part of the alliance. The suppression is too serious. That's what I think..."

Hu You told Sun Dongjiang about his thoughts. In fact, Hu You's idea was to let Sun Dongjiang get those who could not find a job and were suitable for joining the army to the First Legion. This solved the problem of Zhengyang City and the problem that the First Legion's strength has not been supplemented.

"Is this okay?" Sun Dongjiang did not object to Hu You's proposal, but the quality of these soldiers was predictable. Sun Dongjiang was not sure whether they could become good soldiers.

"I believe that the general will do it!" Hu You said that he was once one of those people. He didn't think that the people at the bottom would have no chance of becoming successful. As long as they were given the opportunity, they could do well.

***************************************************************

Once the news that the First Legion had to recruit a large number of soldiers was heard, Zhengyang City was in a sensation.

"Young Marshal, our arsenal construction site can also consume a group of people." Yang Guoguang took the initiative to find Hu You. He actually wanted to come yesterday because of some things.

"You kid really have grown up." Hu You laughed. Yang Guoguang's talent is not high, he is too willing to learn, and the current environment gives him a lot of opportunities to learn, so his progress is naturally quite significant.

"This is all taught by the young marshal." Yang Guoguang laughed. He should really thank Hu You for being today. If Hu You hadn't been promoting him, he would have been just an ordinary soldier now, so he might naturally be qualified to independently manage such a large project as arbor infrastructure.

"Okay, you don't have to flatter me. I don't object to you if you want to absorb some people. But you have to remember it. If you want it, don't. If you want it, then you have to take care of it. If there is any problem with them, I will remember it on you."

"Yes, I promise to remember!" Yang Guoguang said excitedly. This was the first time Hu You adopted his proposal. This was a significant improvement for him.

"What is Yang Guoguang doing? He looks happy." When Liu Bodu came in, he happened to meet Yang Guoguang who left Hu You's office, and saw Yang Guoguang's expression in his eyes.

"Nothing." Hu You smiled and said something about Yang Guoguang simply to the sentence.

"It seems that Yang Guoguang also knows that he is helping you with the trouble." Liu Bodu joked half-jokingly.

Hu You said seriously: "They can't be considered a trouble, it mainly depends on how we use it. If we use it well, they can exert great power. If we can't use it, it's our incompetence."

"This is a good thing. Even when Premier Cheng Khan was here, he couldn't say anything like you." Liu Bodu said sincerely. The more Hu You knows, the more surprising it is.

"By the way, what's wrong with you coming here?" Hu You sighed for a few moments, then brought the topic back to the main business.

"There is news on the machine." Liu Bodu's expression also became serious.

"Is there news finally?" Hu You also felt spirited. Since he decided to build a second mecha arsenal in Zhengyang City, Hu You sent a large number of troops to attack everywhere, hoping to buy machines for mecha manufacturing, but there has been no news back.

"Well, Su Meng released news that there were a batch of old machines that wanted to be transferred. Judging from the information, these machines looked pretty good..."

"What are you waiting for? Just buy it directly. It doesn't matter if it's more expensive." Hu You said anxiously. Money is not a problem. What he is afraid of now is that he can't buy machines. You must know that not everyone has the ability to produce machines for making mechas.

"It's not a more expensive problem. Now several forces want this batch of machines at the same time. Our people have limited rights and are afraid they can't make decisions, so they send the news back, hoping that we can send someone who can make the decision directly. Otherwise, they may not be able to compete with others."

************************************************************

A year ago, the mecha could not openly place ban weapons on the table. The ban for hundreds of years not only had a great blow to the development of the mecha itself, but also had a great blow to the manufacturing of the mecha.

Although mechas have always existed within the martial arts world, there are not many forces that can produce mechas, and there are very few forces that can produce machines related to mecha manufacturing.

Many years ago, the Huaxia Alliance was able to produce and manufacture everything related to mechas, including machines. However, after being sealed for many years, the Huaxia Alliance's technology in this area was seriously out of reach. If you want such machines, you can only buy them.

The Chinese Alliance, one of the three major forces in the martial arts world, is like this, and the situation of other forces can be imagined. Hu You want machines, but they also want them. Su Meng threw the machines out at this time, which is not nice to say, like throwing bones into a dog group. While causing all the dogs to snatch them up, he also made a lot of money.

Who wouldn't see Su Meng's idea? But what can they do? There are only a few forces with machines, and only Su Meng is willing to sell them. This is a unique business. No matter how much you hate it, you have to ask Su Meng for it. And it is only after you fight a path among the dogs that you are qualified to ask Su Meng to sell machines.

dignity?

When survival is threatened, don’t worry about dignity anymore. What’s more, before the future and destiny of the entire nation, what is the dignity, honor and disgrace of each person?

"I'll go!" Hu You made a decision after thinking. Although Liu Bodu's words were simple, Hu You could hear the complexity of the Su League's transaction in just a few simple words. The idle hand is afraid that he will not be able to gain something from the Su League. How about other forces? Hu You don't have time to care about it now. He only knows that the Huaxia Alliance needs these machines.

"You are the Prime Minister, how can you go in person? I think I'll go." Liu Bodu opposed. He came to tell Hu You about this, and he was thinking of asking Hu You to let him go. So Hu You told him about it first.

"Military advisor, you don't have to fight with me. In Zhengyang City, your role is greater than mine. It's not a big problem for me to leave for ten days and half a month. If you leave, there are so many things. I can't handle it." Hu You smiled.

This is not entirely a joke. Prime Minister Hu You basically just made decisions in the general direction, and the specific matters are done by Liu Bodu. Liu Bodu is not as good as Hu You in fighting the war, and his ability to deal with these specific things is not comparable to Hu You. So there is no problem with Hu You leaving Zhengyang City for a while. If Liu Bodu leaves, he will not be able to find a master for many things.

"Prime Minister, you have to think twice." Liu Bodu said seriously. Hu You himself is naturally the best, but with the current situation of the Huaxia Alliance, the Prime Minister Hu You, who came to the Su League, was afraid that the things he had to face were not just competition from machine trading.

"I know. But I've already thought about it." Hu You nodded affirmatively. Of course he also knew. This trip was afraid that it would not be smooth, but so what? I haven't seen any big storms in recent years. Will he be scared?

************************************************************

"Brother Hu You, I want to go to Su Meng too." Bai Bing'er pouted and found Hu You with a look of reluctance.

"Give me a reason to take you there." Hu You smiled. Every time he sees Bai Binger, he can always relax. Bai Binger's simplicity can indeed make people temporarily put aside some ugly things.

"I am your confidential secretary. When you are traveling, there is no reason not to take me with you!" Bai Bing'er seemed to have guessed that Hu You would ask this, and replied without thinking.

"You are not afraid of danger. You should know that it is not our territory. If there is really something wrong, no one will help us!" Hu You reminded Bai Binger. Although they went to buy machines this time, what would happen in the process. Even Hu You couldn't say it, but it was certain that the US alliance would not miss such a good opportunity. The last time the Chinese alliance's Prime Minister Du Xiaoyun could die in the US alliance, and this time Hu You, the new Chinese alliance's Prime Minister, could die in the Soviet Union.

"I'm not scared either. Besides, my mecha is of good quality!" Bai Binger said proudly. Speaking of control over mechas, her ability is not under the stone. If Hu You didn't use the flames, everyone would use ordinary mechas one-on-one, Bai Binger might be able to beat Hu You.

"Your father probably won't agree." Hu You shook his head again.

"Tsk. I've grown up, okay? I don't have to ask my father everything. Besides, you don't know that father. He doesn't necessarily have any reaction when he stays in the arsenal. I'm afraid that he doesn't know that I've been there after returning from Su Meng." Bai Bing'er hummed. Speaking of which, since Bai Zirui became the director of the arsenal, she had much less chance of seeing Bai Zirui. Unless she went to the arsenal to find him, she would have to wait for him to come. I'm afraid she would never see him once a year.

"It seems that you have many reasons." Hu You smiled and said, "Then go pack up. I'll wait for you here at 3 pm. If you can't get it, I'll leave."

"Didn't it mean the delegation will set out tomorrow?" Bai Bing'er said strangely. You should know that Hu You is now the prime minister of the China Alliance, and you always have some pomp when traveling. This time when you went to the Su League, Liu Bodu arranged a delegation of nearly a thousand people for Hu You and accompanied Hu You.

Bai Binger collected these information early in the morning, but what Hu You said seemed to be different.
To be continued...
