1695The mouse knows first

For Tang Army soldiers, letters home are very common. If they have no mission, they have two opportunities to write home every week. You can use your free time to write, and then wait for the postman to arrive.

arrival.

But for coalition soldiers who do not have sufficient transportation capacity, this opportunity to write home is extremely valuable. They can usually only write a letter home once a month, and such letters are often "hacked"

leave".

Yes, lose it! The army easily loses less important letters when its transportation capacity is tight. Everyone does this and not many people care about such things.

Aunt Shilin has been living in a state of confusion these past two days. She still has no way of knowing whether her child is still alive, and the occupation of Rewind Port by the Tang Army has left her somewhat idle.

In order to ensure the normal life of local civilians, the occupying forces of the Tang State worked hard to restore the power supply and water supply to Refeng Port. They then distributed free food for a month, so that local people did not die in large numbers due to lack of supplies.

Under this situation, the city's public security situation is relatively good, but everyone knows that life cannot continue in this endless cycle. It is impossible for the Tang people to provide free food all the time. After all, they still have to rely on their own labor in exchange for daily necessities.

My neighbor Charlie used to work in the city hall. After Tang Ren came, he chose to "cooperate" and now works for Tang Ren and received additional subsidies.

From Shireen's point of view, the Tang people were indeed very generous. The salary they gave Charlie was several times higher than what Charlie could get in the past.

Moreover, the Tang people were able to provide more supplies, making their currency more convincing: banknotes that can buy things are good banknotes.

However, as a wife, Fran is still very worried about Charlie's safety. Whether the Tang people can stay here is still unknown. Now they choose to work for the Tang people. When the Yangmu Empire comes back, they will be liquidated.

So Fran's state is no different from Shireen's. They both have their own worries, so they both seem a little distracted easily.

After helping Fran wash the stove, Shireen wiped her hands on her apron, walked to Shireen who was in a daze, and said softly: "It's been cleaned up, don't worry, at least now it seems that Charlie is not well.

."

"I know it too, but I'm just worried...what if, I mean what if, those humans are beaten away, wouldn't Charlie..." Fran raised her head and said, her eyes were very dark, and she didn't seem to have any symptoms recently.

rest well.

"If it doesn't work, just go to Tang State..." Shilin comforted: "I see there are so many ships at the port, it won't be a problem to carry you two more by then."

Fran grabbed Shirin's hand and said reluctantly: "There are three, you must go with us... You are our family, we will not leave you behind."

While they were talking, the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole came from outside the door. The male owner, Charlie, came back from get off work. He was carrying a briefcase and wearing a decent coat, and he seemed to be in good spirits.

Compared with more than ten days ago, his appearance is completely different, and he seems to be a lot more confident. Although the officials sent by the Tang State to manage Rewind Port are very young, their level is not that of a group of elven nobles.

Comparable.

The work styles and administrative efficiency of both parties were almost completely different from each other. Working for these administrators, Charlie realized that he had been wasting his life in the past few years.

A good system can indeed make people feel that they have gained a new life. Charlie felt that he had gained a new life, and his whole person was glowing.

After putting down his briefcase and hanging up his coat, Charlie told his neighbor Aunt Shireen, who had lost a lot of weight these days, good news: "I heard good news, it seems... Tang, Empire..."

He was very confused about how to call Tang Guo. At work, they all just called it "Empire", but when talking about it at home, Charlie felt a little awkward.

He quickly skipped this embarrassing detail and explained to Shirin about the prisoners of war's family letters. In his opinion, this was a clever move. If it works well, it can indeed greatly improve the security level of the occupied areas and the local civilians.

degree of coordination.

"In other words, if... Marvin and Frank are still alive, a letter will probably be delivered to you in a few days." After Charlie finished speaking, Fran was the first to become excited.

She grabbed Aunt Shireen's hand and congratulated happily: "Great, Aunt Shireen, we will have news about Frank and Marvin soon."

Shirin also reacted. After being stunned for a few seconds, a smile finally appeared on her face: "This is really, really good news. Great, I, I..."

Halfway through her words, she became anxious again: If she didn't receive the letter, did that mean that something bad might have happened to her child?

Thinking of this, she became nervous again, looking forward to the early arrival of her child's letter home, but fearing that she would never be able to wait for the long-awaited letter.

Fran comforted her, and Charlie returned to the bedroom and began to sort out the documents that he had not finished during the day. What he could bring home was not a secret. In fact, there were no real confidential documents that he could get his hands on.

All in all, they were trivial tasks, but from these tasks, he seemed to see a bright future that he had never seen before.

He didn't know if his vision was accurate, but he had a feeling, a strange feeling that the Yangmu Empire would never return to Rewind Port.

From the content of his own work, as well as the policy changes in Refeng Port and other details, a small official like him can most clearly feel the difference between the old era and the new system. This difference represents advancement and backwardness, which can make people

You can tell at a glance who will defeat whom in the end.

This is like being a mouse on a ship. Whether the ship will sink or not, the mouse will be the first to know. Charlie is a little mouse. For an empire, he is not even a mouse...

So he no longer had Fran's worries a few days ago, and he also tried to persuade Fran to relax...but women are more emotional and sentimental after all.

Although he was a little tired, he still cheered up and read the documents, and the whispers of Aunt Shireen and Fran came from outside the door. The two women always had endless things to say, and he also felt that such a home would be more warm.

.

I don't know when he fell asleep, and someone covered him with a coat... Everything seemed so normal.
