Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 87

The Executive Committee discussed the remaining two issues. Most people felt that not to harass the people was their purpose, and it didn't make much difference whether they agreed or not.The dispute is mainly on the second point, whether to release the prisoners.Wu De and the people in the construction team are firmly opposed to it. The former has just finished training them, and all aspects are relatively smooth. The latter is currently busy with the amount of work, and the absence of the labor team will greatly affect the efficiency.

Others were not too willing to give up these people, and finally decided to let go only those small landlords, rich peasants and the like. They did not have enough price tags to attract these people to join them. Indigenous affiliated forces.

After making such a decision, Wu De sorted out all the captives overnight, and listed about a dozen lists that could be released. They were all big households or wealthy peasants. realistic earnings.

We discussed some terms and set a negotiation condition.The next day, Zhang Youfu came to visit again with eight colors of simple gifts, apparently to thank them for allowing the corpses to be collected, but actually came to find out what they said.

Xi Yazhou put forward his own three requirements:

1. Travelers can do business with locals anywhere in the county and trade various commodities freely.The government and others shall not obstruct it.

2. Travelers are free to hire workers in the county.

3. Travelers can walk freely in the county.

At the same time, he said that no matter whether the county agrees to these three items or not, as a show of sincerity, they can release some people. He also proposed a list of people who are ready to be released, and asked them to see if there is anything to add.If you want to take someone away immediately, you can release them here immediately.If there is nothing special, it is enough to bring some sedan chairs and animals to pick people up tomorrow.

Naturally, Zhang Youfu didn't dare to make a decision on this matter, so he copied a copy of the people who were going to be released and the conditions, and took them away.

When Wu Mingjin received these conditions, he couldn't decide to pay attention to them. Some things were easy to talk about, but some things were really important, especially the traded goods—he vaguely felt that this was a bit like the red-haired man who sent a ship to ask for a port a few years ago. , the conditions when doing trade, could it be that these people are also all the way?Then he hurried to discuss with Master Wang.

Master Wang pondered for a moment, drank a pot of strong tea, finally made up his mind, and asked in a low voice: "Dong Weng, just accept it."

Wu Mingjin shook his head and said: "I have two concerns. One is that if they imitate the old wisdom of Folang Jiren and stay put, and use Bairen as the city and Bopu as the port, this place will become the second Xiangshanao. The court categorically forbids it; secondly, although hired workers are free, once they sail away in the future, wouldn’t they commit a crime of leaving their own flesh and blood.”

Master Wang smiled and said: "Dong Weng is too worried. The most important thing right now is to appease the gentlemen and harvest the autumn grain. After half a year and a year, go to the province to do some activities and seek a transfer. Is it true that Cheng Xiangshanao will be with you?" The master has nothing to do with it. As for the separation of human flesh and blood——hiring labor is a matter of your choice, and if you work as servants for such aliens, you are also responsible for taking them overseas."

Wu Mingjin thought about it for a while, and he had no choice but to do so, so he summoned Zhang Youfu and said that Xu Kun's thieves were like these things, but they should not leave handwritten evidence.Zhang Youfu comprehended, and went to gather the heads of the families who were waiting to redeem people, and asked them to come up with thank you gifts.

Some of these families were captured, they were anxious like ants on a hot pot, begging from east to west, looking for someone to agree with the pirates, willing to pay money to redeem people, even planning to save their lives Don't hesitate to go bankrupt.It's just that the origin of this group of pirates is unknown, and they have been unable to get online.Now I heard that the other party does not want a ransom, and they will release them tomorrow. Asking someone to pay an extra tael of silver is like peeling off a layer of skin from the body.They all said that they grew up eating Coptis chinensis every day. After talking about it, Zhang Youfu still had no clue. I will not go to Bairen Beach to pick up people. "Whoever wants to pick someone up next time will go by himself!" He said as if to walk away in a huff.

Everyone stopped him wherever he was willing to let him go, and the county magistrate Wu Ya also pretended to say some good words of comfort, one sang good faces, the other sang bad faces, saying good things and bad things, and finally decided to ask everyone to take out 600 taels of silver. One hundred pieces of Jombu (note: cotton cloth produced locally in Hainan), four pigs and one cow.In addition, 30 taels of silver were given to Zhang Youfu as a reward.The silver and cloth are allocated according to the size of each family's property.Everyone is satisfied with the total amount, because if it is to redeem people, it will cost at least three or four times the money.After the number was agreed upon, everyone worried about whether the number could satisfy the leader.They decided to ask Zhang Youfu to go there tomorrow and explain the amount. If Xi Yazhou agrees, they will send the money and cloth to pick them up.

The next day Zhang Youfu went to see Xi Yaya with his sedan chair and livestock. He told Xi Yaya many difficult things for the big households, and then told him the amount of silver and cloth. If it is appreciated, the small landlords and rich peasants will be released directly without waiting for the county to send the silver and cloth.

This action further enhanced the gentry's favor towards them, even the ordinary small households, knowing their actions, felt that these pirates were benevolent people, and heard that they never burned, killed, or looted.Those who were more courageous left the city one after another and went home—there was still a lot of work waiting for them to do in the fields. After a few days, all the refugees in the county were scattered.The county town has changed from the original south gate, which was only open for two or three hours, to all three gates.The tense atmosphere that lasted for more than a month gradually subsided.After a few more days, pedestrians who had been cut off on the road appeared one after another, and farmers were also working in the fields near Bairen Beach.

"Peace is really beautiful." Xiao Zishan stood on the sentry tower and said intoxicated.

"Peace is temporary." Bei Wei said with a sullen face behind his back.The hunting plan he advocated has been adjusted twice, and he was ready to go, but because of this peace negotiation, it was announced to be temporarily shelved.These days, he practiced Ye Mengyan's group of young men who had been clamoring to become special forces with the vigor of "gold, wood, water, fire, earth, day, day and gold". Every day, he could hear the screams of these ten or so people on the training ground.

ATF's Xue Ziliang also painfully realized how to change his destiny while driving the bulldozer.He noticed Beiwei's training courses, and slipped to the training ground after work every day.At first, Bei Wei was not willing to talk to him, but after he expressed a few professional opinions in the training course, the two often began to exchange some opinions.Xue Ziliang took the opportunity to show off in front of Bei Wei. Several beautiful tactical moves and excellent marksmanship made the former reconnaissance company commander look up to him with admiration.Only then did he show his trump card: before joining the ATF, he served in the Forced Reconnaissance and Reconnaissance Team (FORCERECON) of the US Marine Corps and participated in the Iraq War.

"Look, I'm also a veteran." Xue Ziliang looked at Bei Wei affectionately with eyes full of loneliness, so the hearts of the two former scouts in China and the United States vibrated and collided with sparks of resonance.The expressions of the two were so full of masculine fortitude and tenderness that there was a legend of Brokeback Mountain among the special forces students that day.

Next, the two communicated more frequently on the training ground. There is a lot to say between colleagues, especially those who still respect each other.Although there are many majors in the military group, including armored soldiers and naval ships, he is the only reconnaissance major in the military group.In addition to being able to talk about some majors with He Ming and Xi Yazhou, the former chief officers of the infantry unit, there is nothing else to talk about.Now that they have Xue Ziliang as a person, they have a lot of common topics.The two discussed various issues from special forces operations, tactics to the army, and became more and more in-depth.Of course, rumors about the two have also spread like wildfire.

Bei Wei himself didn't realize it.When He Ming, as an old comrade, euphemistically proposed to him: As the main leading cadre of the military group, he should pay attention to the influence in his private life, he still found it difficult to understand: how can a person who never pretends to girls Gossip with a lifestyle.Speaking of which, he still can't get used to Xi Asia and the girls being too hot!

It wasn't until the last rumor reached his ears that he suddenly realized that the problem of private life was not limited to the relationship between men and women.After his face turned from red to blue and then pale, he ran out.Xi Yazhou hurriedly led someone to follow him out, fearing that he would do something stupid on the spur of the moment.After some investigation, Bei Wei announced in the special forces training team that each team member would do 200 extra push-ups after the day's training, until the rumors about him and Xue Ziliang disappeared.

However, this did not affect the friendship between him and Xue Ziliang.Xue Weini used his innate keen insight into the world as a Chinese to find the way of survival again in this once unfamiliar environment.

For most time-travelers, the détente with the locals brings the greatest change at the dinner table.When Wu Nanhai wrote the words "Braised Pork" on the blackboard of today's supply in the cafeteria, the counter that had just been built in the cafeteria was almost overwhelmed by people.
