Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1038 - 998: Camps Filled with Smoke

"Niu, who are you calling shameless? I think you must be itching for a fight, do you dare to go out and spar with me?

I want to see if your martial skills have improved."

As soon as General Niu finished speaking, General Wei’s eyes widened with anger, and he was ready to put his hands on his hips to confront General Niu.

Seeing this, General Niu was naturally not one to back down. His eyes bulged as he rolled up his sleeves, prepared for a scuffle.

"Hey, come on. I’ve been wanting to see what you’ve got, old timer. My hands have been itching recently, so I might as well use you for practice."

Watching this group of combat-ready men, Lin Yi immediately spoke up, scolding:

"Alright, stop arguing. This issue is settled, and it needs to be executed immediately. From now on, what we produce will be distributed on average per ten thousand people."

Seeing the emperor’s displeasure, everyone quickly calmed down, especially General Niu and the aforementioned general, who both sheepishly chuckled.

Don’t let their fierce arguments and even near fistfights fool you; this is just daily life among generals.

Even though they might truly fight over some things, on the battlefield, they would lay down their lives for each other. This is the essence of being a soldier, their life-and-death bond.

They might argue endlessly over trivial matters, but when it comes to important issues, they don’t hesitate at all.

This is real camaraderie, unlike those fair-weather friends or two-faced individuals.

This is also why generals and civil servants often don’t get along well.

After all, scholars are all about intrigue and stabbing in the back, but generals are different—if they’re unhappy, they settle it with a fistfight.

After fighting, they can put their arms around each other’s shoulders and drink together as if nothing happened.

This atmosphere is something Lin Yi really likes. He is a man, a man of verve, so he yearns for this military life, which is why he chose to come here.

Watching this group laugh and walk away, Lin Yi shook his head with a smile. These guys are quite interesting; at least with them, you don’t need to plot or play mind games.

However, as he was smiling, Lin Yi’s expression suddenly changed, and he couldn’t help but shout:

"Niu Jing Da, you damn fool, put down my mosquito repellent!!"

The old bull, who was about to sneak off with a half-burned mosquito repellent when Lin Yi wasn’t looking, was startled by these words. Flinching, he quickly put the repellent back.

Then, with an embarrassed laugh, he ran off as if fleeing.

Seeing this, the generals behind couldn’t help but burst out in laughter.

It wasn’t just the generals; even Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh at this fool’s antics. This guy is truly a character.

In the following days, as the generals distributed the mosquito repellents, the entire camp was soon filled with smoke.

The scent of the mosquito repellent quickly permeated the camp.

It must be said that this current mosquito repellent is truly natural, unlike the ones in later times which contain chemicals. The current ones produce smoke purely from burning plants, completely harmless to people.

Even though the smoke is thick, it’s not harmful to anyone.

But looking at a camp that seems to be on fire, Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile wryly; these guys really think mosquito repellent is fuel.

Still, with smoke thick as this, no mosquito would dare come near.

Not just mosquitoes—even Lin Yi wouldn’t step foot in that camp.

Once inside, the smoke would surely suffocate someone.

Who knows what these guys are up to. Once lit, the mosquito repellent only needs a little smoke, but now it’s as if they are smoking meat, quite hilarious.

Because of this, not only mosquitoes, even snakes and poisonous insects would likely keep their distance.

In any case, this problem has now been thoroughly resolved.

Watching the scene, Leng Yu beside Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh and said:

"These guys are really funny. But Brother Lin Yi, can we use this mosquito repellent for the common people?"

Leng Yu’s words caught Lin Yi by surprise. He looked at her, pinched her cheek with a smile, and said:

"Oh, I didn’t realize you were so concerned about the common folk.

Haha, that’s a good idea. Actually, I’ve thought about this too.

I’ve already included this mosquito repellent in the Royal Enterprise and plan to send people skilled in making them all over the country.

They’ll form a massive trading company to specifically handle the mosquito repellent, and eventually, it’ll be sold to all the people in the great kingdom.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yu looked puzzled at Lin Yi, ignoring that he was pinching her cheek, curiously asked:

"Sell it to the common people? Brother Lin Yi, you plan to make a business out of it? But can our people afford it?"

Indeed, Lin Yi’s words surprised Leng Yu since she hadn’t expected him to sell it rather than give it to the people.

But Lin Yi had his reasons, and seeing her puzzled look, he explained:

"Yes, of course, it should be sold. This can’t be given for free.

You need to understand that even if we give it away, the officials might not distribute it for free.

In the end, the people would pay even more for it. Instead, let’s keep the business in our hands by establishing a Royal Trading Company."
