Chapter 73 Debate

Not long after Ren Liang and Luo Shengdong chatted on the pier, Schneider rushed to the pier after receiving the notice. Since the other members of the executive committee were at Base 2, there was no time to rush back, so he had to sit in charge of Base 1.

Schneider from the base came forward to contact Luo Shengdong.

Luo Shengdong has not yet figured out what the structure of the so-called "Executive Committee" of the Haihan people is. He only knows that these people called "committees" are the powerful people among the Haihan people. They are not the same as those he is familiar with.

The political arena of the imperial court is different. In addition to Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie who are in charge of military and political affairs, it seems that other inexplicable people occupy more positions in the Haihan Executive Committee, such as those responsible for teaching.

Ning Qi, Gu Kai, who is said to be a lawyer, and Schneider, who is basically a businessman who is good at trade.

Ning Qi can be regarded as a high school official and an edict in the Haihan people's government. This is easier to understand. After all, this dynasty also has similar official positions. However, Mr. Gu was born as a lawyer, and in this dynasty he could only be an aide to his master, and Mr. Shi was like this

It is absolutely impossible for merchants to control the financial power of the government in this dynasty. How could these people have the power to decide affairs? Luo Shengdong really couldn't understand. If he had to make an analogy, Luo Shengdong felt that the Haihan people were stubborn.

The committee is more like the headship system of pirates or bandits. Each head performs his own duties and does not interfere with each other. However, Luo Shengdong can only think about this in his heart and must not say it out loud.

Although he had some opinions about Schneider's identity, Luo Shengdong also saw with his own eyes how powerful this man was in the mall, so he respectfully handed over the goods list for verification.

Although the amount of supplies Luo Shengdong sent this time was not too large, they were indeed purchased in accordance with the requirements of the traveling public. After reading it carefully, Schneider put away the list and asked: "How are you doing with the house?"

How are you doing?"

Luo Shengdong then took out another piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Schneider: "This is the deed of a house in a single courtyard in Nancheng, Yazhou. The yard faces north and south, and the transportation is convenient. It is only a hundred steps away from the south gate. There is a main entrance in the inner courtyard.

There are seven rooms and two wing rooms. There is a well in the courtyard, a firewood shed and a kitchen in the outer courtyard. They are all good houses with bricks to the ceiling and terracotta tiles on the ridges. In addition, there is a shop on the side of the courtyard facing the street, which used to sell books.

.I have personally gone to see it. The furniture is all ready. The house has been cleaned and an old man is temporarily taking care of it. You can move in at any time. The owner originally asked for three hundred taels of silver. I went there several times.

Finally, the deal was made for two hundred and sixty taels."

"This matter was done really well." Schneider took over the house deed and couldn't help but praise Luo Shengdong. The fact that Luo Shengdong could explain it in such detail proved that he was very concerned about this matter and was not just looking for someone casually.

I just fooled around the house.

"Is this house clean?" Ren Liang is a policeman after all, and his focus is more on safety. The executive committee will send personnel to Yazhou later. If there is any problem with this house, then

It may cause unnecessary trouble.

"Clean! It must be clean!" Luo Shengdong explained hurriedly: "Look at the owner of the house on the deed. If you go to Yazhou City and ask, you will know that this person is a person assigned from Beijing City. Now he has the favor of the imperial court.

When I got up, I hurriedly wanted to go back and resume my job, so I got a few dozen taels cheaper."

Seeing that the cargo on the ship had almost been unloaded, Schneider raised his hand to check the time and said: "It's lunch time, Mr. Luo, let's have something to eat together? Someone will bring meals to your crew later."

Luo Shengdong had already dined with Schneider and others in Yazhou City last time, and now he felt less restrained, so he accepted immediately. However, Ren Liang had guard duties and was unable to leave at will.

Naturally, there are no restaurants in Victory Port, and even the members of the executive committee can only have working meals. Schneider took Luo Shengdong to the canteen of Base No. 1. At this time, Tao Donglai, who got the news, had just returned here by boat.

The three of them took the dinner plates, prepared food, and found a place under the shade of a tree to sit together.

This was the first time for Luo Shengdong to eat with the Chuanchuang people here. It was very strange to see them eating without dishes, but using such a large stainless steel plate to serve their food. However, although the way of eating was vulgar, it was

The food tastes very good. Even at the top "Nanhaiju" restaurant in Yazhou City, Luo Shengdong has never had such a taste. What he doesn't know is that the chef at "Nanhaiju" can use all kinds of seasonings.

The traditional Chinese food is mainly based on oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar, but the kitchens of Chuanzhong have various seasonings and spices brought by later generations, so the taste of the cooked meals is naturally different.

The more Luo Shengdong came into contact with people who traveled through time, the more he felt that there were many contradictions among these people that he could not understand. They obviously had many skilled craftsmen, but the houses they lived in were very simple. The food seemed to be unfashionable, but the quality of the food

The taste shows that they have an in-depth study of food; they are good at business and trade, but they do not go to the densely populated Guangzhou to develop, but choose to stay in this valley and settle down. All kinds of strange things make Luo Shengdong find it incomprehensible.

Tao Donglai saw the strange expression on his face and asked casually: "Is the food not to your liking?"

Luo Shengdong came back to his senses and responded quickly: "No, no, the taste is very good... It's just that I still have many unknown things in my mind. I wonder if Chief Tao can give me some advice?"

"You ask, and I will answer you as best I can." Tao Donglai said to himself that as long as you are curious, it will be easy, otherwise I will not be able to find an opportunity to brainwash you.

Luo Shengdong thought for a moment, then picked out a few things that he found strange and asked Tao Donglai. Tao Donglai and Schneider both laughed after hearing this, which made Luo Shengdong look confused, not knowing what he was doing.

Said something wrong.

After Tao Donglai finished laughing, he asked Luo Shengdong: "To sum up, what you said is just that since we are capable people, why should we stay in this place and live such a miserable life, right?

?”

"That's right." Seeing Tao Dong come to point out what he wanted to ask, Luo Shengdong no longer concealed his thoughts and nodded repeatedly: "As I can see, you are all talented people.

With Chief Tao's ability, it is no problem to govern a state or a city. It is easy for Chief Shi to become rich. But why do you want to hide in this ravine and live with the mountain people?"

Tao Donglai did not answer his question directly, but continued to ask: "As you can see, if the things we are doing now are handed over to the Yazhou government, how long will it take?"

"Well..." Luo Sheng, Dongxin Daohai Han people built ports and forts here, blocked rivers and dams, and opened up wasteland and farmland. These are all extremely labor-intensive and financial resources. It would be difficult for the Yazhou government to organize such a large-scale operation.

To work, he immediately responded honestly: "If the Yazhou government organized laborers to come here to carry out construction projects, it would probably take many years to reach the current situation."

Luo Shengdong's words are indeed not flattery. If Yazhou Prefecture organizes its own manpower to start work here, even if they use free labor without paying wages, then before starting work, they must first solve the problem of eating, drinking, sleeping and sleeping for these hundreds of people.

, and transporting these manpower, tools, building materials and subsequent various living and production materials here is by no means an easy task. In addition, unlike the Haihan people who have so many strange machines available, if everything is done by manpower

, I am afraid that it will take a year or two to achieve the current situation. Of course, this is actually an impossible situation, because within half a year, such a large-scale project will be enough to overwhelm the finances of Yazhou Prefecture.

.

"Then do you know how long we have been here?" Tao Donglai continued to ask.

Luo Shengdong nodded and said: "I once heard Commander Ren of the labor camp say that the last time I had a misunderstanding with your department, it was actually only the second day after your department arrived here. Calculating this, it's only about fifty years ago.

Day..." Luo Shengdong seemed to have realized something when he said this, but he couldn't grasp the key point.

"You have also seen with your own eyes that what we want to do can be done ten times and a hundred times as fast as the Ming Dynasty government. In this case, why do we need to be greedy for wealth and a comfortable living environment? It only takes a year or two to do it.

We can build a new city here according to our own needs. It will be bigger, more beautiful and more comfortable than Yazhou. Why do you think we should go to Yazhou? Can Lord Zhizhou allow us to allocate space there and build our own city?

?In a few years, this place will become the most prosperous city in the entire Hainan Island and even the entire South China Sea..."

Tao Donglai took a deep breath and continued slowly: "The most important thing is that this will be our city!"

Luo Shengdong was shocked by his last words and his heart beat wildly. He stammered: "This is the territory of Da... Ming Dynasty..."

"Then the Ming Dynasty must be able to control this place." Schneider said with a smirk on his face: "In another year or two, how much presence do you think the Ming Dynasty will have here?"

"This..." Luo Shengdong was choked by Schneider's words. Before he went back, he had seen many Li mountain people coming to the construction sites of the Haihan people to make a living, and these people were very good at rebelling in history.

When the rebellious barbarians and the ambitious Haihan people get mixed up, it is almost self-evident what the consequences will be.

"Our Ming Dynasty has thousands of miles of land and millions of armors, but one city and one corner of the country cannot compete with it!" Luo Shengdong thought for a long time and finally came up with a sentence to encourage himself.

"How useful is that? You also know that the local army in Yazhou is not our opponent at all, but can the imperial court bring all the millions of troops to Yazhou? No way!" Tao Donglai crushed Luo Sheng without ceremony.

Dong's fantasy: "What the Ming court can do, we can also do, and we will do it better. If you don't believe it, just wait and see."
