The Executive Committee discussed the remaining two issues. Most people felt that not to harass the people was their original purpose, and it would not make much difference if they agreed or not. The main dispute was 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 been trained by them and they are relatively smooth in all aspects. The latter is because the project volume is currently busy, and the absence of the labor team will greatly affect the efficiency.
Others were not willing to give up these people, and finally decided to let go only of those small landowners, rich farmers and the like. They did not have enough price tags to attract these people to join them. As for the others, they would not let them go for the time being in order to establish the system as soon as possible.
Aboriginal affiliated forces.
After making this decision, Wu De sorted through all the prisoners overnight and made a list of about ten people who could be released. They were all wealthy people or rich farmers. There was no use in keeping these people. It was better to release them and get some.
Realistic benefits.
Everyone discussed some more terms and came up with a condition for negotiation. The next day, Zhang Youfu came to visit again with a simple gift of eight colors, apparently to thank them for allowing the body to be collected, but in fact he came to find out what they said.
Xi Yazhou put forward three requirements:
1. Travelers can do business with local people anywhere in the county and trade various commodities freely. The government and other people are not allowed to hinder them.
2. Travelers can freely hire workers within the county.
3. Travelers can walk freely within the county.
At the same time, he said that regardless of whether the county agreed to these three items, to show sincerity, they could release some people. He also proposed a list of people to be released and asked them to see if there was anything they wanted to add. If they wanted to take people away immediately,
We can release people here immediately. If there is nothing special, we can bring some sedans and animals to pick them up tomorrow.
Naturally, Zhang Youfu did not dare to make the decision, so he took a copy of the persons and conditions to be released and took them away.
When Wu Mingjin received these conditions, he was not sure whether to pay attention to them. Some things were easy to talk about, but some were really important, especially this trading commodity - he vaguely felt that this was a bit like the red-haired man who sent a ship to ask for the opening of the port a few years ago.
, are these people also on the same side regarding the conditions for conducting trade? So I quickly went to Master Wang to discuss it.
Master Wang pondered for a moment and drank a pot of strong tea. Then he 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. First, if they follow the old wisdom of Fo Lang Ji Ren and stay on, using Bairen as the city and Bopu as the harbor, this place will become the second Xiangshan Ao.
The imperial court absolutely does not allow it; secondly, although hired workers are free, if they sail away in the future, wouldn't they be committing the sin of separating from human flesh and blood?"
Mr. Wang smiled and said: "Dong Weng is overly worried. The most important thing now is to appease the gentlemen and collect the autumn grain. After half a year, go to the province to do some activities and find a transfer. Can you be with Xiangshan'ao?
The master has nothing to do with it. As for separating human flesh and blood - hiring workers is something you and I are willing to do. If you work as a servant for such aliens and take them overseas, you will bring it upon yourself."
Wu Mingjin thought about it for a while, and decided that he had no choice but to do this, so he summoned Zhang Youfu and said that Xu Kun was the thieves, but he must not leave any written evidence. Zhang Youfu understood this and went to summon all the families who were waiting for the redemption.
The head of the house asked them to come up with a gift of thanks.
Those who had been captured in these families were all as anxious as ants on a hot pot, asking for mercy in one place and asking for help in the other. They wanted to find someone to make peace with the pirates, and were willing to pay money to redeem the person, and even planned to save their lives if they could.
They don't hesitate to spend everything and go bankrupt. However, the origin of this group of pirates is unknown and they have never been able to get on the line. Now I heard that the other party does not want ransom and will release them tomorrow. If anyone wants to give out an extra tael of silver, it seems like they are trying to peel off a piece of paper from their bodies.
The skin was so painful that it hurt in my heart, and one of them cried bitterly. They all said that they were miserable growing up eating Coptis chinensis every day. After talking about it, they still had no features. Zhang Youfu was so angry that he had to wipe his face.
, threatening that if a suitable amount could not be negotiated, he would not go to Bairentan to pick up the person tomorrow. "Whoever wants to pick up the person can go by himself!" He said as if he was walking away.
No matter where they were willing to let him go, they all stopped him. Here, the county magistrate Wu Ya also pretended to say some good words to comfort him. One of them was a good person and the other was a bad person. They talked good and bad, and finally decided to ask everyone to give up 600 taels of silver.
One hundred pieces of cloth, four pigs and one cow. In addition, thirty taels of silver were given to Zhang Youfu as a reward. The silver and cloth were divided according to the size of each family's property. Everyone was satisfied with this total, because if it was a redemption,
It would cost at least three or four times the amount of money. After agreeing on the amount, everyone was worried about whether the amount would satisfy Boss Xi. They decided to ask Zhang Youfu to go tomorrow and explain the amount. If Xi Yazhou agreed, they would then give the amount of money and money to Xi Yazhou.
The cloth was sent to pick people up.
The next day, Zhang Youfu took his sedan chair and animals to see Xi Yazhou. He told Xi Yazhou a lot of difficult things for the big families, and then told him the amount of silver and cloth. Xi Yazhou not only did not show that he was too little, but also said some
If you appreciate it, you can release the small landowners and rich peasants directly without waiting for the money and cloth to be sent from the county.
This move further enhanced the goodwill of the gentry towards them. Even ordinary civilians, knowing their actions, felt that these pirates were benevolent and righteous people. They also heard that they never burned, killed or looted. They were a little bolder.
Some people left the city and went home one after another - 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 town were dispersed.
All three doors were opened. The tense atmosphere that had lasted for more than a month slowly subsided. After a few days, pedestrians who had been cut off on the road appeared one after another, and the fields near Bairentan
There are also farmers working in the fields.
"Peace is indeed beautiful." Xiao Zishan stood on the sentry tower and said intoxicatedly.
"Peace is temporary." Bei Wei said behind his back with a sullen face. The hunting plan he advocated had been adjusted twice and was ready to go, but it was announced to be temporarily shelved because of this peace negotiation. These days, he calls it "golden gold"
Ye Mengyan, these young men who have been clamoring to become special forces, can be heard every day in the training field. Every day, you can hear the screams of these ten people.
ATF's Xue Ziliang also painfully realized how to change his destiny while driving a bulldozer. He noticed Bei Wei's training courses and sneaked to the training ground after work every day. At first, Bei Wei was reluctant to talk to him, but when
After he expressed a few very professional opinions during the training course, the two began to exchange opinions frequently. Xue Ziliang took the opportunity to show off his skills in front of Bei Wei, making several beautiful tactical moves and excellent marksmanship.
The former reconnaissance company commander was impressed. Only then did he reveal his trump card: before joining the ATF, he served in the US Marine Corps Force Recon and participated in the Iraq War.
"You see, I am also a veteran." Xue Ziliang looked at Bei Wei affectionately with eyes full of loneliness, so the hearts of the two former Chinese and American scouts oscillated and collided with sparks of resonance. The expressions of the two were
So full of manly fortitude and tenderness, the legend of Brokeback Mountain became known among the special forces trainees that day.
Next, the two people communicated more frequently on the training ground. There was a lot to say between colleagues, especially colleagues who respected each other. Although there were many professionals in the military team, even people with professional backgrounds in armor and shipbuilding
They all have it, but he is the only one in the military group who majors in reconnaissance. In addition to being able to talk professionally with former infantry unit commanders like He Ming and Xi Yazhou, there is nothing else to talk about. Now.
With a person like Xue Ziliang, they have a lot of common topics. The two people's discussions on various issues ranging from the actions and tactics of the special forces to the military have become increasingly in-depth. Of course, rumors about the two people have also spread like wildfire.
.
Bei Wei himself was unaware of it. When He Ming, as an old comrade, euphemistically suggested to him that 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: a person who has never been right
How can someone with a girl's pretense of sex have such rumors about his lifestyle? Speaking of which, he couldn't stand the fact that Xi Yazhou was too friendly with the girls!
It wasn't until the rumor finally reached his ears that he suddenly realized that the problems in his private life were not limited to the relationship between men and women. After his face turned from red to green and then pale, he ran out. Xi Yazhou quickly took people to follow him out, deeply afraid of him
What a stupid thing to do in the heat of the moment. After some investigation, Bei Wei announced to the special forces training team that each team member would do an additional 200 push-ups after the day's training, until the rumors between 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 human nature as a Chinese to find a way to survive in this once strange environment.

For most travelers, the biggest change brought about by the relaxation with the locals is at the dinner table. When Wu Nanhai proudly wrote the words "braised pork" on the blackboard of today's supply in the canteen, the canteen
The counter that had just been built was almost collapsed by the crowds.
