It was spring again in March, and the earth was bursting with vitality. During the rare Spring Festival and Qingming Festival holidays, Wan Lei took his family out of Peiping and went to the Presidential Resort in Changping for hunting and vacation. At the same time, they went to the Tianshou Mountain Martyrs Cemetery to commemorate the martyrs.
The Presidential Resort located in Changping is named Desheng Camp. It is not large in scale. However, the hunting area is very wide and there are a large number of wild animals. It is a good place for many wealthy families to relax. Many children of the wealthy families come here to practice survival in the wild to sharpen their skills.
Wan Lei brought his son here to hone his son's wild nature.
Unlike ordinary people who use bows to hunt, the five members of the Wan family use guns. Each of them has a hunting rifle. They do not hunt small animals such as deer and rabbits, but specifically hunt for carnivorous animals such as tigers, bears, leopards and wolves.
In a few days, more than a dozen wild wolves were killed.
In fact, since the large-scale closure of mountains and forests in the two provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi, the northern ecology has gradually recovered, and wild animals that were rarely seen before have gradually multiplied. Not only are there many wild beasts in the forest area, but many ferocious beasts have also moved to the Yanshan area.
, and even went to the Mongolian pastoral areas. These beasts that live on meat are naturally the mortal enemies of the herdsmen. Hunting them is almost one of the daily tasks of the herdsmen.
Although ferocious beasts endanger the safety of pastoral areas, they can also provide hunters with precious furs and medicinal materials, and can even provide people with the pleasure of hunting, which can be used to exercise people's wild nature. In short, there are many benefits. Therefore, Wan Lei set out in Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places
Hunting is prohibited in large nature reserves, and only wild beasts that escape from the reserves can be hunted.
"Dad, we, we found a white tiger today." In the evening, Wan Yuan and Wan Sheng dragged their tired bodies back to the camp and shouted excitedly when they saw Wan Lei.
"Awesome, did you hit it?" Wan Lei did not go hunting with him because he was temporarily busy. However, he did not have to worry about the safety of his two sons, because Zhao Xueer, the second mother, was watching and there were several loyal guards accompanying him.
Nothing can hurt these two little darlings.
"Xiao Sheng was too impatient and shot before he got close. As a result, he scared it away and couldn't catch it even if he tried to catch it. Otherwise, we would have a new white tiger cloak for dad." Wan Yuan said a little discouraged.
"How can you blame me? It has already discovered us. If we don't shoot, it will definitely run away." Wan Sheng waved his fist in disbelief.
"Come on, don't be discouraged. Go wash up first and go to bed early after dinner. Dad will go with you tomorrow to find it and kill it." Wan Lei patted his two sons' little heads and asked Fu Wei to take them down.
Because he still has to discuss political affairs with others.
Ordinarily, when the president goes out for hunting and recreation on vacation, he would not dare to bother Wan Lei with ordinary government affairs. This time, Zhou Tianshou and Zhao Hongru came in person to discuss a major matter, namely the recruitment of workers for railway construction.
Difficult question.
As the chief of staff of Huayuan, Zhou Tianshou has been responsible for cooperating with Huihuang Petroleum Company to build roads these days. Now that the West Lan Line Railway has broken ground, a troublesome problem has arisen. It cannot recruit workers.
In fact, it is not surprising that this problem occurs. A large number of people have moved away from Shaanxi, and almost all the remaining few people have considerable jobs. Who is willing to engage in hard and dangerous road construction work? And the road construction funds of Huihuang Petroleum Company
It is also limited, and it is impossible to recruit workers with high wages, so it is naturally difficult to recruit workers.
If workers could not be recruited, there would be no one to work on the construction site, and the railway construction project would have to be delayed. Huihuang Oil Company could not wait, so Zhao Hongru and Zhou Tianshou rushed back to Peiping from Shaanxi overnight and made a special trip to the holiday camp to find Wan.
Lei discussed countermeasures.
"It's a pity that I have retired, otherwise I can send troops out to capture some prisoners and bring them back as slave labor." The reason why Zhou Tianshou took the initiative to advise Zhao Hongru was mainly to have a happy cooperation with the merchants, but also to cooperate with the previous ones.
The military faction headed by Zhao Quanjie cooperates happily. With their support, his next election campaign will be much smoother.
"Sending the army out to capture slave workers is indeed a good idea, but we are afraid that these slave workers will just eat free rice and refuse to work." Zhao Hongru frowned.
"Of course, whips alone cannot make slave workers work honestly. The key is to have some management and motivation methods. There are now hundreds of thousands of serfs in the Northwest Military Region. Almost all of them are honest and do not dare to have any dissent. Mr. Zhao
Brother, you can send someone to learn advanced experience." Zhou Tianshou said.
"If you don't need a whip, why don't you use sweet words?" Zhao Hongru muttered, still a little worried.
"It's not impossible to manage slave labor. The key to the problem now is that building the railway requires at least 100,000 slave labor. With so many people captured by the army alone, it won't be possible in a short time." Wan Lei also frowned.
I feel uneasy about using slave labor, but there are too many slave labors to use, which will definitely cause many problems.
"Mobilize all the military regions to catch them. If you pay two silver dollars for each slave worker, there must be many soldiers willing to do it. Anyway, the Peking Army has not been able to move for more than a year. It's time to show off your sword and go out." Zhou Tianshou said.
"Yes, the price of two silver dollars per slave labor is not bad, and our Huihuang Petroleum Company can still afford it." Zhao Hongru also said, it seems that he and Zhou Tianshou had already made a plan and made up their mind to use slave labor. Now
It was just to seek Wan Lei's consent.
Seeing that Zhao Hongru and Zhou Tianshou had made up their minds to engage in slave labor, Wan Lei closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then whispered: "It is true that the Peking Army has been at ease for more than a year, and it's time to take action."
"So, Brother Wan has agreed to send troops to catch the slave workers?" Zhou Tianshou couldn't believe it, and said: "Then where can we catch them? Isn't that right? There are a lot of people there."
"It's not India, and it's not us who can capture it ourselves." Wan Lei shook his head and said: "First go to Japan's Kyushu Island to buy it, let the Japanese big names capture people for us, and at the same time mess up Kyushu Island, and then we can send troops to intervene.
"
"Let the Japanese capture people for us?" Zhou Tianshou looked at Wan Lei with some shock, "This method of killing people with a borrowed knife is not bad, but I'm afraid they may not be willing to use it as a knife."
"Don't worry, I have a way to convince a few Japanese daimyo to become human traffickers for us. If anyone refuses to obey, then we can go to his enemy and buy weapons to his enemy. We will see to him then.
Why are you crying?" Wan Lei said calmly.
"Haha, this method of killing three soldiers with two peaches is indeed wonderful." Zhou Tianshou couldn't help but laugh, and his admiration for Wan Lei grew to a higher level. He had only thought of sending troops to catch slave workers before, but he didn't expect that Wan Lei would actually do something ruthless.
Trick, you don't have to do anything yourself, let the Japanese sell their own people, and you have to help them count the money.
"You should first prepare the money to buy slave labor. I will contact the Japanese slave traders within a month, and the personnel will be in place within two months. You can find a way to enslave them and make them work honestly on the construction site. I will not
I hope to see news about the extension of the construction period, and I don’t want to see news about slave workers escaping or rebelling." Wan Lei said sternly.
"Don't worry, these slave workers will be managed by my people and they will be as honest as old hens." Zhou Tianshou said hurriedly.
"That's good. It's best not to publicize the use of slave labor to the outside world, especially Brother Zhou. You have to pay attention to maintaining an upright image and don't let these negative news affect you, so you don't want to talk about the slave labor trade.
If you ask, I can just come forward myself." Wan Lei said.
"This, this is not good, isn't it ruining Brother Wan's reputation?" Zhou Tianshou felt a little sorry, because Wan Lei took the initiative to put some dirty stains on his body, in order to protect him from the stains, so smooth
passed the general election a few years later.
"It doesn't matter. I am in my last term anyway. A little stigma will not damage my reputation. My merits and demerits will be judged by future generations." Wan Lei waved his hands indifferently and said no more.
