I'll hang you with a lung!

Regarding the situation over there, Zhou Ming just wanted to scold, Jefferson of the dog was hung up that day, right? Otherwise, why did he run all the way from Moriah to the Indian tribe in Pansas yesterday, and only had a good night's sleep, and Jefferson's people came to the door?

Maybe those clothes are just a coincidence with the military uniform of Jefferson's private army? Zhou Ming wanted to be so, but this was impossible, as a person who had escaped death under Jefferson's hands, Zhou Ming definitely remembered Jefferson's private army vividly, and now that Zhou Ming was on the windowsill, he could see at a glance that those people were wearing the military uniforms of Jefferson's private army, the color of yellow, Zhou Ming could not be mistaken.

Now the men were at the main gate of the village in Tucante, and in front of them were the Indian chief Flegg with dozens of strong Indians.

However, it seems that the Indians are outnumbered, and the Indians at the head are still holding shotguns, but the overall situation is that the few private soldiers have the upper hand, and they are constantly advancing, while the Indians are constantly retreating.

Finally Flegg yelled, and he didn't know what he was shouting, and all the Indians stopped, and so did the soldiers over there, and they didn't know what to talk about, and the soldiers finally left.

Seeing the soldiers leaving, Liu Qiangguo of the desert squad said: "I didn't expect these Indians to be so righteous, we just bought them some corn, and they actually risked their lives to help us keep those soldiers out." ”

However, Zhang Lin shook his head and said: "Although it seems to be the case, I always feel that things are not so simple, and we don't understand what they say, and we have to wait for the hyena to wake up and ask us to know, I hope the result will not be so bad." ”

Zhang Lin and Liu Qiangguo both focused on Zhou Ming as they spoke, waiting for Zhou Ming to make a decision, Zhou Ming looked at the Indians below who still hadn't dispersed, and asked Zhang Lin to wake up the hyena after a while.

For these special forces, this task is very easy to complete, directly a basin of cold water poured on the hyena's face, he woke up immediately, originally the hyena got up and subconsciously thought that there was an attack to attack, but Zhang Lin was also prepared to directly hold his joint, the hyena suddenly let out a howl like killing a pig: "It hurts! Master spares his life!"

Zhang Lin then released the hyena, and the hyena muttered like a wronged little daughter-in-law: "Master, what are you doing here, the old man, don't let people sleep early in the morning......

Zhang Lin slapped him angrily: "What are you muttering, don't you know that Jefferson's private army is coming?"

Hearing this, the hyena jumped up in surprise, widened his eyes and asked, "Damn, Master, you didn't lie to me, did you? We just arrived in Tucante, and they chased after us? This is too exaggerated, it doesn't make sense!"

"But that's just the way it is. Zhou Ming walked in and said to him, "Jefferson's personal soldiers have already come just now, but then they were driven away by the Indians, and what they said to each other but we couldn't understand Spanish, so we called you up to find out the situation." ”

When the hyena heard Zhou Ming say this, his expression became solemn, he nodded and then got up, and when they went out, they ran into Carlos, apparently Carlos heard the movement in the hyena's room, and immediately got up.

They quickly ran downstairs to the entrance of the village, where Flegg and the other Indians were still with sad faces, and when they saw Zhou Ming and they came down, they only smiled very reluctantly, and there was no more heartfelt happiness like yesterday.

"I'm sorry ladies and gentlemen, but something happened so early to wake you up. Flegg took the initiative to apologize.

Zhou Ming waved his hand: "It's too obvious to say an apology or something, we just want to ask what happened just now?"

Faced with this question, Flegg looked a little embarrassed: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that they came to us for debts." ”

"Want a debt?" Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin were very surprised, and they were all relieved in surprise, fortunately they didn't come to them, otherwise Jefferson's information ability would really be too rebellious.

"We are asking for debts, because we borrowed money from them to buy the corn and cocoa seeds this year, and we originally agreed to use the corn harvest to pay off the debt, but because this year's rainfall was less than before and the insect plague occurred, the corn yield was lower than before, and they deliberately lowered the purchase price, so we couldn't repay their loans at all, and they had to take away our women and children to pay off the debt. Flegg said.

The hyena stopped at Fleg's words: "What? Where did all these damn pieces come from? Do they still dare to pay off debts with women and children, do they still have the law in their eyes?"

The hyena was indignant, but Flegg sighed and said, "There is no way to do it, who will make us unable to pay it back?" We have done this in the past, but this year we have died and fled because of the plague at the beginning of the year, and there is not enough labor left here in Tucante, so we can't let them take women and children anymore." ”

When the hyena and Carlos heard him say this, they immediately begged Zhou Ming to take the money out to help them, and Zhou Ming asked them rhetorically: "It's easy for me to get the money, but I can help this year, and what about next year and the year after that?" ”

Under Zhou Ming's rhetorical questioning, the hyena and Carlos were silent, and Zhou Ming stood up and asked Flleg: "Chief Flegg, how much do you owe? Who is the other party? Why do you want to borrow money to buy seeds and farm, and what is the interest you agreed on?"

Each of Zhou Ming's questions was to the point, but compared to these questions, Fleg's answers surprised him even more.

"They are the Pansas City Trading Company, they are responsible for the sowing and buying of all the corn and cocoa crops, this company is so powerful that they even have their own mercenary organization, and the government and the police don't care about them at all. "We didn't borrow much at first, we borrowed 100,000 and got 80,000, and finally we paid back 480,000 after the harvest." ”

Hearing this number they said, Zhou Ming and them were shocked, and the hyena immediately said: "Damn! This is simply a money grab, do you also agree to this condition?"

"We don't want to say yes, but if we don't, we won't have the money to buy seeds, and we won't be able to grow corn, and then our whole village will starve to death." Flegg said.

"Then you can keep some seeds for yourself, why do you have to buy seeds?" asked Liu Qiangguo.

Fleg shook his head and replied, "It's useless, we have tried to keep some seeds before, but they must have done something in the seeds, and the seeds we left behind just couldn't grow corn, so we were forced to sell ten women and children that year, and then we didn't dare to try again." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ming has fully understood this economic model, to put it simply, Jefferson's trading company has completely controlled these Indians through loans and seeds, and these Indians can only desperately borrow money from the trading company to buy seeds in order to survive, and then the harvest is used to repay the loan and interest, and the cycle will be repeated again next year.

"It's not bullshit trading companies at all, they just think they're slave owners, they're wielding a whip called a loan, they're driving you hard workers to work for them!" Carlos said.

"We're not slaves!" Flegg roared, "we...... It's just that I'm poor now, and I'm already thinking of a way to get rid of their acquisitions, and I'm going to sell our corn to more places so we can sell it for more money, and then we'll save a little bit of ourselves, and one day we'll be able to get rid of those damn loans!"

With Flegg's words, the other Indians cheered loudly, as if they had seen a better tomorrow.

At this time, Zhou Ming said to them: "Chief Flegg, it's not that I'm discouraged from you, I can tell you very responsibly that the day you are looking forward to will never come, as long as your seeds are bought from the hands of trading companies, they can control your annual corn production through seeds, so that you will not have a surplus." ”

Zhou Ming gave Fleg a huge blow, and Fleg shook his head painfully with his hands and said, "Impossible, how can this be? We have all worked so hard, why can't we escape the control of the trading company?"

Flegg's bitter words were contagious to the other Indians, all of whom looked desperate, and some even wept.

Suddenly Flegg remembered something, he looked up at Zhou Ming and said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I heard that the little brother Carlos said that you are a big man from the United States, so you must have a way, right? I beg you, you must save us Indians, you appeared at this time, you are so smart, you must have been sent by the gods to save us!"

Flegg knelt down for Zhou Ming as he spoke, and with Flleg's movements, the other Indians also knelt down to Zhou Ming, and suddenly knelt towards Zhou Ming, and all of them were still begging for themselves, although they spoke Indian Zhou Ming and didn't understand, but Zhou Ming knew that they must be begging for themselves.

It feels very cool to be kneeled by someone, especially by so many people, but it is also a headache.

As the saying goes, if you want to let these people get up, you must let Flegg get up first, so Zhou Ming stepped forward to help Flegg and said: "Chief Flegg, it's not that I don't want to help you, we can now take out 600,000 yuan to repay the loan for you, and there is still money left to buy seeds for next year, but this can't change the status quo! If you want to change, you have to rely on yourself!"

Zhou Ming originally wanted to persuade these Indians to get up, because if they could give up everything in Tucante, go outside and start over, and try to integrate into modern society, maybe it would be a little more difficult at the beginning, but as long as they are willing to work hard, there may not be no other way to survive; this is Zhou Ming's idea, but he didn't expect that because of his words, it would lead to a more serious result.
