Chapter 46 Reaching Cooperation

When they returned to the port in the afternoon, the military police department brought back twenty-seven pirates who had surrendered. In addition, they found three corpses of pirates washed ashore by the waves. As for the dozen pirates who were missing, the military police

The police department no longer planned to waste manpower and material resources going into the mountains to chase and suppress them, and just let them fend for themselves in nature. In this way, in this wave of confrontation with the pirates, the time-travelers finally got about a hundred free laborers

and four sailing ships.

More than 20 pirate corpses that were originally going to be dug and buried were ordered by Tao Donglai to be temporarily shelved until the executive committee made a final decision on Luo Shengdong's matter. If the situation really goes as Luo Shengdong said,

If this continues, the benefits these pirate corpses can bring to the time traveler will probably be far greater than those of a hundred or so living people.

But there is no doubt that regardless of whether Luo Shengdong's plan will be implemented, these new prisoners will be organized into labor camps, and they must work hard if they want to continue to live. If they can persist

After living a long life of hard labor, maybe some of them will have a chance to regain their freedom in a few years.

After listening to Tao Donglai's introduction, Yan Chujie expressed a cautious attitude: "It sounds good, but there may be many surprises in actual implementation, such as whether Luo Shengdong's rhetoric can really deceive his boss."

?How sure is he that he can be promoted based on his merit? Even if everything goes smoothly in the front, what if he can't mobilize labor for us in the end? The most important thing is that we have no way to determine Luo Shengdong.

Are people really trustworthy?"

"This man is very smart and understands the situation very accurately. I believe that during his time in the labor camp, he must have been observing us, thinking about us, and thinking about how to find a suitable reason to persuade us.

.With his knowledge, he may not be able to understand what kind of existence we are, but he did notice our shortcoming - population." Tao Donglai slowly expressed his thoughts: "What we want to build

The social system and the production system to be copied must be based on a large population. The method proposed by Luo Shengdong is indeed a shortcut to solve the problem for our current situation."

"You mean, we should try his method?" Yan Chujie and Tao Dong have been friends for many years, and they immediately understood what he meant.

Tao Donglai nodded and said: "No one can guarantee whether Luo Shengdong is reliable. But I think this is not the point. The point is that we know what he wants and what his purpose is. If he just wants to get away,

Then I don’t think he would have waited so long in the labor camp before speaking. Since he has no intention of going back empty-handed, it means that he really wants to seize this opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune.”

After two o'clock in the afternoon, the soldiers escorted this large group of pirate prisoners towards the mainland. Because there were too many people, the military and police department did not choose to waste fuel and take a boat upstream from the waterway, but followed the previous method of escorting hard laborers in labor camps.

, tie the hands of these people behind their backs with straps, and then use tough climbing ropes to directly connect them together in units of twenty people. This will not affect the normal march. Even if someone wants to escape on the way, other people will not be able to escape.

He was implicated and failed. Also accompanying him was Luo Shengdong. He was exempted from the treatment of having his hands tied upside down this time. However, if the discussion of the executive committee did not pass his proposal, then the result waiting for him could only be to go back.

Go to the labor camp and continue to be a coolie leader.

The road extending inland from Base No. 1 along the Tiandu River is about three meters wide. At present, the road surface has only undergone basic filling treatment. As for the construction methods such as road hardening, it is estimated that it will remain on paper for a long time.

Time. Along the way, you can see a large number of logs piled along the road. These are trees that were cut down when the road was opened and have not had time to be transported out. With the recent addition of a large number of labor forces, the speed of opening up this land artery is also increasing.

Speed ​​up. According to a report from the Ministry of Construction, it will take at most three or four days to complete the entire line.

After this road is built, the traffic time between Base 1 and Base 2 will be greatly shortened. There may be a large number of oxcarts on this road in the future. As of now, from Li people

More than forty cattle have been sent as trading goods, and most of these cattle will join the transportation team as new forces after spring plowing.

After arriving at Base No. 1, a group of pirate prisoners were immediately driven to the labor camp. They will be divided into more than a dozen groups, and each group will be joined by two or three Ming army prisoners who are already familiar with the rules of the labor camp to guide them.

The new form will put this group of laborers to the construction sites where they should go as soon as possible. After several days of labor transformation, some of them with skills will be selected, such as sailors, carpenters, etc., and will be sent to other places

Work.

At this time, Luo Shengdong would no longer receive any special treatment, and once again returned to his familiar environment to shoulder the hoe. However, he was soon singled out again, because the special meeting of the executive committee had begun, and Tao

Donglai needed him to come forward for a "live defense". Although Luo Shengdong had prepared in advance, he was still confused by a group of time-traveling committee members. In the end, he no longer knew whether he had said anything wrong.

He can constantly swear and swear that he has no second thoughts.

Tao Dong came to see that everyone had finished asking questions, so he had Luo Shengdong taken away. The next thing was to discuss a unified opinion. The focus of the debate was still on Luo Shengdong's reliability.

There is not much controversy about the feasibility of this plan. Almost all committee members believe that this is a good opportunity to open a window for trade and population introduction. If it can be implemented, not to mention paying a few pirate heads, even if all the pirates are killed,

It's actually worth dragging him out and killing him. But the key to the problem lies in how trustworthy Luo Shengdong himself is, whether he will change his mind after letting him go, and how the time-travelers can ensure that this guy will not act randomly.

At the end of the meeting, Tao Donglai's theory of interest bundling prevailed - if Luo Shengdong wanted to get promoted and make a fortune, he would have to rely on the help of the public this time; and subsequent cooperation would make Luo Shengdong gradually realize that his interests and

The interests of the public are closely related and inseparable.

"No matter how he swears, it is not as reliable as actual benefits." Tao Donglai finally summarized his opinions in one sentence.

After voting, the intention to deal with this matter was basically determined. The time-traveling generals would hand over the pirate's head to Luo Shengdong, and let him take a few soldiers to return to the cliff in the captured pirate boat.

State, and then repay the credit in the name of destroying pirates. As for the subsequent plan, it still depends on whether this first step can be implemented smoothly.

Although things have been settled, there are still many specific things to be done for implementation. For example, after Luo Shengdong returns to Yazhou, how to keep in touch with him through the crowd is a big problem. The distance between Victory Port and Yazhou

Although the distance by sea is not too far, if a ship in this era encounters some wind and waves on the road, it may take two or three days to come and go. As a news channel, it is too slow, and the timeliness cannot reach the time limit of traveling through the public.

Requirements. Of course, it is impossible to hand over high-tech gadgets like radios to Luo Shengdong, but it seems too risky to send people who can use radios to go to Yazhou with him. Who knows?

Will this guy change his mind as soon as he enters Yazhou City and arrest the traveling people to ask for credit?

Finally, the Military and Police Department made a suggestion, sending a special operations team on a catamaran sailboat to follow them to Yazhou, but not to the mouth of the Ningyuan River, because that place is already under the jurisdiction of Yazhou Water Village

In addition to the members of various relevant departments, this special operations team will also bring along several more reliable local people. Whether it is buying supplies locally, sending them to Yazhou to inquire about information, or working with

Contact Luo Shengdong, it can come in handy.

In addition to the pirates' heads, the executive committee also plans to hand over the repairs to the most damaged small Guangzhou ship to Luo Shengdong to take back for delivery. Together with the captured pirate weapons, it is enough to prove that Luo Shengdong

He and his men had a fierce battle with pirates during this sea patrol, which can also explain the Ming soldiers who died in the battle and the Haicang ship "under repair".

The executive committee finally gave Luo Shengdong a quota of six people, which was also the minimum number of people needed to drive the small Guangzhou ship. After receiving the notice, Luo Shengdong almost jumped with joy and hurriedly went to the labor camp to pick five

The cronies came out, and then the Military and Police Department escorted these people back to Port Victory before dark - the pirate corpses had been parked for a day, and if they were left there for another day or two, they might start to smell. It must be done

Seize the time to deal with it. Moreover, no time-traveling guild can do this matter of cutting off the head of a dead person. This can only be done by Luo Shengdong, who is bent on making meritorious deeds, and his people.

After the soldiers from the Military and Police Department provided lime and machetes, they decisively retreated far away. However, Luo Shengdong and several of his subordinates had a strong psychological endurance. They picked up the machetes and chopped off the heads of more than twenty people with a bang.

They were all chopped off and then marinated with lime immediately. Someone brought a few wooden boxes found from the pirate ship and filled three boxes with more than 20 heads. After that, Luo Shengdong and his men took these headless heads and put them into three boxes.

The bodies were dragged to a nearby hillside, where a large pit had been dug last night to bury the bodies.

After burying these corpses, Luo Shengdong sat down on the ground so tiredly. He didn't sleep last night. Today he walked back and forth between the two bases, dragged corpses and filled holes. He was exhausted.

All his physical strength. Despite this, he was very excited in his heart, because he knew that he had made the right move, and that his hard work for more than half a month would not be in vain, and his promotion and fortune were just around the corner.
