Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

In this era of the Xia Kingdom, there are very few entertainment activities, and most people go to bed shortly after dinner.

The Yan family's dinner was not only simple, but also very little: each person had a bowl of very thin cornmeal porridge, a cornbread, and a few pickled vegetables.

Less than half an hour after dinner, Yan Bugui and Yang Ruihua went back to their room to lie down, claiming that they wanted to eat and move less.

Yang Ruihua said, "Boss, only Jia Dongxu works in the Jia family, and he is the only one with an urban household registration. The Jia family must be short of money and food. In the future, Yi Zhonghai will also get the people in the courtyard to donate money and food to the Jia family."

Yan Bugui said helplessly, "Sigh, we've held two meetings to donate money and grain to the Jia family, but we haven't succeeded. Old Yi won't give up so easily."

Yang Ruihua asked, "If Yi Zhonghai asks us to donate money and grain to the Jia family again, will our family donate?"

Yan Bugui sighed, "If we don't donate, we'll offend Yi Zhonghai. If we offend Yi Zhonghai, we'll offend the deaf old lady and Sha Zhu. If we donate too much, it will hurt our wallets; if we donate too little, Zhang Cuihua will gossip about us. It's a difficult situation!"

Yang Ruihua said, "Master, the Jia family has a sewing machine. Zhang Cuihua often says that the Jia family is a wealthy and powerful family, and they are not short of money now."

Yan Bugui frowned and began to consider how to handle the next money and grain donation conference.

Yang Ruihua broke the silence: "Dad, do Yi Zhonghai and Tan Guilan have relatives from other places?"

Yan Bugui replied without hesitation, "If those two had relatives, would they scheme against Jia Dongxu to take care of them in their old age and see them off in their final days?"

Yang Ruihua was puzzled: "They have no relatives, so why do they receive a letter every month?"

Yan Bugui thought about it for a while, then slapped his forehead and said, "I know."

Yang Ruihua asked curiously, "Honey, what do you know?"

Yan Bugui said, "The letter that Yi Zhonghai and his wife received was most likely sent back by He Daqing."

After discussing it for a long time, the two decided to bring He Daqing back.

If the letter was sent back by He Daqing, then, barring any unforeseen circumstances, He Daqing most likely sent money back.

If He Daqing sent money back, it's obvious that Sha Zhu and his sister didn't receive it. Once He Daqing returns, Yi Zhonghai will be busy dealing with him, so he won't have the energy to get all the neighbors in the courtyard to donate money and grain to the Jia family.

He Daqing's return to the courtyard house allows him to deal with Yi Zhonghai and also implicate the Jia family.

Yan Bugui and Yang Ruihua both knew that Qin Huairu frequently borrowed money from He Yuzhu.

"Boss, if we find He Daqing, we'll definitely become enemies with Yi Zhonghai."

"This is easy to handle. Xu Damao will definitely be happy to bring He Daqing back."

"You're the one who knows how to scheme, aren't you, sir?"

"It's only because we're not allowed to do business now, otherwise I could earn several hundred or even a thousand a month."

Two days later, Xu Damao returned from showing movies in the countryside.

"Da Mao, you're really something. Every time you go to the countryside to show a movie, the villagers give you gifts."

"Uncle, going to the countryside is tough and tiring, and you might even get robbed. It's not as easy as you think."

"Da Mao, if He Daqing comes back, what do you think Sha Zhu will do?"

"Third Uncle, how come I didn't think of that?"

"Da Mao, don't tell anyone about this. I don't want to get into trouble."

"Uncle, please give me some advice on how to get Uncle He back?"

"Yushui is only fourteen years old this year, still a minor..."

"Uncle, thanks. Here are two strings of mushrooms for you, to add to your meal."

"Da Mao, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Back in his backyard home, Xu Damao closed the door, took out paper and pen, and was about to write a letter of complaint when he realized that he could not write the letter himself because he was afraid of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady.

Xu Damao thought to himself, "I'll write it down once, and when I go to the countryside to show movies, I'll have someone make a few copies. Director Wang has a close relationship with Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, so the report can't be sent to the neighborhood committee..."

General Affairs Administration Bureau, Director's Office.

Qi Bing looked through the information he had found, feeling both surprised and quite reasonable.

The deaf old lady's real name is Long Yunni, formerly known as Yehe Yunni. She was a concubine of a prince and a senior member of the puppet Manchukuo organization.

"We couldn't find the deaf old lady during the previous cleanups; she was too well hidden."

"If we start making arrests now, there will definitely be some who slip through the net. We will continue our investigation and then catch them all in one fell swoop."

In his previous life, when watching a TV series about courtyard houses, Qi Bing noticed that some of the deaf old lady's behaviors were illogical.

An old woman with no children was being carried by Sha Zhu to sell grain coupons; something seemed amiss no matter how you looked at it.

The fact that the old patriarch of the entire neighborhood locked Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu in a room in the drama is clearly abnormal.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Qi army abandoned the idea of ​​taking action now.

The remnants of the puppet Manchukuo regime that were uncovered are already trapped like turtles in a jar, unable to cause any waves.

Only by continuing to send people to keep a close watch can we catch more remnants of the puppet Manchukuo regime.

After leaving the General Administration Bureau, Qi Bing drove back to the East Wing.

I glanced at my watch; it was almost 1 p.m. I took out a boxed lunch and ate a simple meal.

After offering sacrifices to the internal organs, the Qi soldiers began to devise earth-digging boats.

On land there are excavators, and in the water there can certainly be dredging boats.

By integrating the functions of an excavator with those of a cargo ship, you can create an excavator vessel.

They produced dredgers that can both dredge rivers and be used for land reclamation in the sea.

If we had dredging vessels, the Southern Reef Islands of Xia Kingdom could be transformed into a vast island.

The Heavenly Dao of the primordial world is too powerful. Even if he were given several hundred more years, he would not be able to seek revenge against the Heavenly Dao.

In the short term, we are powerless to take revenge, so developing and strengthening the Xia Kingdom is a meaningful endeavor.

Having done nothing meaningful in his past life, he felt no sense of accomplishment when he recalled his past before being struck down by the Heavenly Dao.

Qi Bing, with his exceptional intelligence, designed a dredging boat in just over ten minutes.

Upon entering the Xuanhuang World and using the synthesis skill, a 10,000-ton dredging vessel was formed in the blink of an eye.

The dredger was tested and several problems were found. It was modified and optimized, and then tested again.

In less than two hours, the design of the 10,000-ton dredger was finalized.

"This dredger has a maximum displacement of 10,000 tons and can dredge soil and rocks, as well as transport and unload soil and rocks."

After obtaining the production technology data for the dredger, Qi Bing returned to the east courtyard outside.

The next morning, Qi Bing dropped his wife off at the school gate and then drove to Chongqing.

After handing over the production technology data for the dredger to Yucheng Industrial Group, Qi Bing immediately returned to Beicheng.

"First, build two dredging boats, one for each of the major and minor rivers."

Back in Beicheng, Qi Bing calmed down again, spending his days reading and cultivating, striving for the continuation of the Qi family, and occasionally going to the Comprehensive Management Bureau to issue some orders.

He didn't participate in any of the commotions surrounding the courtyard house.

There are too many beasts in the yard; contacting them is tantamount to asking for trouble.

While practicing the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Technique that night, Liu Xiaoqian's cultivation broke through, reaching the Innate Realm.

"Brother Soldier, my cultivation has broken through."

"I already know."

"Brother soldier, I feel like I'm too strong right now."

"Then I'll have to see just how strong you are."

Liu Xiaoqian, whose cultivation had reached the Innate Realm, continuously transformed the internal energy in her lower dantian into Innate True Qi.

Looking at his wife Liu Xiaoqian, who had an angelic appearance, Qi Bing felt an indescribable joy.

The backyard, the home of the deaf old lady.

"Madam, Liu Haizhong's prestige in the courtyard and the factory is growing higher and higher. If this continues, I won't have a say in anything in the courtyard anymore."

"Zhonghai, I contacted Xiao Yang, and he agreed to find someone to teach you fitter skills. Once you become an eighth-level fitter, Xiao Yang will help you become the workshop director. At that time, you will be the fitter workshop director, while Liu Haizhong will be the deputy director of the forging workshop. You will be a step ahead of him."

"Madam, the Jia family is in dire straits. They don't have enough money or enough food. I'm counting on Dongxu to take care of me in my old age. If I don't help the Jia family, Dongxu definitely won't take care of me in my old age."
