Chapter 1529 Establish an overseas peach orchard in troubled times
"By the way, Zhang Xing, you haven't said how many people you have in Zhangzhuang? The area is so large, there must be a large population. β
Mai Gongming seemed to ask unintentionally, his expression was full of interest, and he looked ashamed to ask for a job.
In fact, it is intentional, with a population of 10 million, and a population of 1 million, it is definitely not a heavyweight, regardless of whether to be an enemy or a friend.
Of course, Mai Gongming will not be so powerful, and only considers the gains and losses of interests, but the gains and losses of interests are indispensable considerations, and they are also the first important thing.
The three of them all know that the strength of this Zhangzhuang is directly related to its population base.
When Zhang Xing heard this, he replied honestly: "Brother Gongming, I'm sorry, I don't know! According to our regulations, except for my grandfather, who knows the total population of Zhangzhuang, no one else knows, and no one can mention it, which is the highest secret of the family; and if I say something that offends you, even if I know, I can't say that if I violate this rule, I will be severely punished by the family rules." β
Mai Ke said: "It's okay! I know that you are in this kind of area surrounded by enemies, and you have been isolated overseas for many years, you must be very careful in order to survive, and you must not disclose anything that involves secrets, if we need it, we will directly ask your grandfather, so don't feel embarrassed! By the way, how far is it from your grandfather's residence, we have set off from your premises, and it seems that we have not come close. β
"Thank you, uncle, for your understanding! I can see where, well, I know, we're about a third of the way out. β
"It's so far! The total distance must not be hundreds of kilometers from the city you are responsible for?"
"That's right, the city I'm defending is on the western border, and my grandfather lives in the east, which is the base camp of Zhangzhuang, where most of the parents live. β
"What's that tall building?"
Baili Liangliu, who had been listening to them, asked, gesturing to a building below in front of him.
"That's our educational institution, all the schools are there, from the middle school level to the doctoral students, all of them are arranged by the family to educate them systematically. β
"Well, that's right! It seems that your principals here attach great importance to education! It's not easy, it's not easy! From middle school, then, if you start from middle school, what about before middle school?
Zhang Xing shook his head and said: "No matter what! Education before middle school is the responsibility of every family, especially parents, and all children must finish their private school and then go to junior high school to receive a unified education; in our Zhangzhuang, it is a legal requirement to study and receive education, and illiteracy is a violation of the law and a crime. β
When Baili Lianglu heard this regulation, he clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Amazing! This should be the most powerful measure to popularize education, right? That Zhang Xing, I am very interested in your education system, can I go to that education building and have a look?"
Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment and said: "But yes, but that is my sister's territory, I have reminded you, she is not so easy to deal with, she is not bad, and if she hurts people, she is also a supreme good person......
Mak Gongming asked curiously, "Is it a mental injury or a physical injury?"
Zhang Xing replied: "Yes, hehe, all of them! β
Mai Gongming said: "This is not only verbally sharp and scolding people, but also stretching out his hand is powerful, and he can beat people's rhythm, which is powerful." β
Mai Ke said: "It's okay! Our old man just looks, dealing with you young people is your young people's business, young people are honest." β
Zhang Xing couldn't stop him anymore and said, "Okay, we can stop by and have a look, but we have to move quickly, otherwise my grandfather should be in a hurry." β
Mai Ke hit the nose of the machine, directly lowered the height, and drove to the tall building.
After about 100 meters above the ground, Mai Ke noticed that the fields below were very neat and tidy, and there was a sense of familiarity.
He soon remembered that this was the original Heavenly Kingdom's system of fields and acres that was commonly practiced by the Heavenly Kingdom wherever the forces of the Heavenly Kingdom went.
At that time, every time the Heavenly Army went to a place, it had to reorganize the farmland and water conservancy there, claiming to be reorganizing the mountains and rivers, but in fact, there were not many aspects involved, just planning the fields, roads, canals, woods and other items horizontally and vertically, and then handing them over to Mai Ke's Lingxi to implement.
This place belonged to the Yindu mud silk crow, and at that time, it also belonged to the Kingdom of Heaven and was transformed according to the specifications of the Kingdom of Heaven.
After being included in its territory by the Kingdom of Heaven, the natural farmland land was also planned, and that kind of thing was a trivial matter that came naturally.
However, after the efforts of that time, many places were not preserved after they left.
Most places have been changed by later generations for various reasons, and Mai Ke can't help but sigh.
Although it took a lot of effort to get it, it didn't seem to be very difficult for later generations to destroy it.
Maybe they worked hard, but they couldn't stand it for a long time, and the generations of people who continued to do it were still successfully scrapped by the wheat ke.
Only this place still maintains its original appearance, which makes Mai Ke feel relieved.
When you see Zhang Xing's grandfather later, you must ask him how he thinks about it, especially how he can save things from more than 100 years ago and keep them until now.
This caused Mai Ke to recall the past, and all kinds of memories came flooding back, which made Mai Ke's head big three times for a while, because there were a lot of things.
First of all, he felt that a super memory was not entirely a good thing.
Mai Ke remembers clearly that that period was the era of the great expansion of the Heavenly Kingdom and the Heavenly Army, the Heavenly Kingdom was centered on the Chinese Kingdom, and the arrows of expansion went straight in all directions, an important part of which was the South Asian region here, and from the perspective of Western Europe, it was Southeast Asia.
After occupying Rangoon and other cities, they marched south, soon occupied Singapo, and then entered the Mallas.
At that time, whenever Mai Ke went to a place, in addition to capturing the enemy's city and relieving the enemy's resistance, there were two other things that were essential, and they were also the first to be done in terms of time.
The first thing is to extend the three-in-one transportation hub to the newly occupied areas, in fact, all personnel and materials are transported by this three-in-one transportation hub and sent directly to the front line.
The second thing is to develop the river of life and the fruit trees of the four seasons to that area at the same time, so that the people there can also receive the benefits of the kingdom of heaven. In fact, they are also the main military rations of the Celestial Army.
When others are fighting, the people and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the wheat Ke has changed, and the grain and grass are parallel.
These two things are not only the symbols of the kingdom of heaven, but also the welfare of all the subjects of the kingdom of heaven, and all places that claim to belong to the kingdom of heaven have these two contents, and the earth is not divided into east, west, north and south, and people are not divided into Chinese and foreigners, all of them are treated equally.
Among them, the three-in-one transportation hub is the combination of water and land routes, which serves as a means of transportation for the heavenly army and the people.
The waterway is simple, it is a standard steamer, and residents and others can take it.
There are two types of land routes, one is a train with rails, which is a means of transportation that walks on the rails in a proper manner.
The other is to build a two-way highway on each side of the tracks, on which all types of passenger cars and wagons can run.
In addition to amphibious transportation routes, there are also optical fiber cables, which are responsible for information transmission, which is to take advantage of the convenience of waterway trunk lines, and directly erect optical cables on the ready-made traffic line supports, which is both trouble-free and safe.
Save trouble, the main thing is that there is no need to dig holes to lay underground lines.
Safety is protected together with water and land transportation, as long as those main projects are fine, optical cables are also protected in the same way.
Because the construction of these facilities is the first version of the Spirit, its technical level is super advanced, and even if it is obtained in later generations, it is a unique high-level level.
And the Lingxi Movement is a means of dispatching the mastery, that is, its function is a part of the mastery, and for the convenience of application, they are gathered together to form an application.
Of course, its performance is much more powerful than any "apple" or "banana" application software in the future.
At that time, Mai Ke had already realized that since the creator was not limited by time and space, his trick of controlling things, that is, the ability to control all things, was also not limited by time.
In other words, it can be harnessed at any time and time when it is all created.
This three-in-one transportation hub is certainly powerful, but the two things that come with it are even more powerful and powerful.
One of them is the water in that waterway.
That water is not ordinary water, let alone dirty water, but water that is completely unpolluted.
That kind of water, which has only one source, is the spring of life on the top of the holy mountain.
The spring of life flowed down from the holy mountain and became the river of life.
Later, Mai Ke established many holy cities, just like the holy city of the First Holy Mountain.
In order to become a holy city, there is one thing that is indispensable, and that is the river of life that flows from the confluence of the spring of life from the sacred mountain.
One of the basic functions of this river of life is to dispel illness and prolong life.
It is impossible to test whether it is prolonged for a short period of time, but the cure of the disease can be immediate.
Many people who were originally sick have been sick and have been restored to health after drinking the water of the river of life, just like good people who are not sick.
Since the other relics of the Heavenly Kingdom in the Zhangzhuang area have been preserved, it must be that the River of Life has also been preserved.
That's incredible!
Could it be that Zhang Xing's grandfather was an old pirate at that time, and he was already a handful of years old at that time, if he lived a normal life, that is, at most one hundred and eighty years, at most one hundred and twenty years old, it would not be long before he would die of natural causes.
However, by mistake, he insisted on drinking the water of the river of life, so that he lived a long life and lived until now?
If that's the case, it would be a coincidence, and he became a living specimen, and his experience of related things became a living dictionary.
One more thing, which is the Four Seasons Orchard.
The original origin of the Four Seasons Orchard is also a holy mountain, and there is a spring of life on the top of the mountain, and the place below the top of the mountain is full of fruit trees.
Compared with other kinds of dried and fresh fruits, the biggest feature is that they are not affected by the seasons and continue to bear abundant fruits throughout the year.
Because they have all kinds of fruit trees, dried and fresh fruits, they can replace the status of grain and vegetables and provide dietary needs for human beings.
When the Heavenly Army entered today's Zhangzhuang area, the River of Life, the Four Seasons Orchard and they entered this territory all the way.
If it is understandable that those soldiers are rejected as beasts of the flood as beasts, then it is only natural that the Four Seasons Orchard of the River of Life is like a lovely angel and is warmly welcomed by them.
Although Mai Ke quickly thought of these related contents, he was not impressed no matter how much he was.
Only one still remembers that in the area where Zhangzhuang is located now, there are no famous battles, so there is nothing worth remembering.
At that time, the Celestial Army pursued the enemy non-stop, because they did not have to walk on their own, but took the transport provided by the three-in-one hub project, so that the enemy was tired like wild dogs in front, and they waited for work in the back without any fatigue.
Also, the enemy needs to eat and take time to prepare, which also affects the speed of their escape.
However, not only does the heavenly army not need to run away, but only needs to sit in the car as if traveling, and it is more convenient to eat.
Outside the car window, there is the Four Seasons Orchard, and wherever they go, the orchard follows together.
If you are a little tired, take a sip of the river of life, and you will not be tired at all.
The kind of disease and longevity effect that comes with the river of life is not covered!
In fact, not only the river of life, but also the fruits produced in the orchards of the four seasons can not only be eaten as food and vegetables, but also have the same effect of dispelling diseases and prolonging life as the river of life.
For the soldiers of the Heavenly Army in battle, it is very useful to prolong the years first, and to cure the disease.
If fatigue is also considered a disease, drinking a glass of water from the river of life can make it disappear.
Therefore, they can chase the enemy without stopping.
Therefore, the situation at that time was that in front were ordinary enemies who mainly walked on their feet, and behind them were heavenly troops who did not know that they could continue to travel when they were tired, and their escape was completely in vain.
In Mai Ke's memory, no one of the enemies that the Heavenly Army intended to pursue, could escape.
This result, in itself, gives the enemy a deterrent.
Originally, everyone was the same, and without such endurance, they had to rest after a while, but the heavenly army did not need it, and sat in the chariot, each of them with a plate of fruits of the four seasons and a bottle of water from the river of life, and after they had eaten and drinked, they were immediately full of strength, and continued to ride in the chariot, and easily followed the enemy, and watched them run, and they rode in the chariot, and the enemy fled there, and they followed there, and also completed this journey.
One side laughs and laughs, and the other side is tired of being a dead dog, how can this battle be fought?
Always, what confidence do they have?
In front of the heavenly army, you can't fight, you can't escape, and the only way to survive is to kneel on the ground and surrender.
Fortunately, the Celestial Army has long had a policy of not mistreating prisoners, so those enemies of the Celestial Army have a bad time.
Their surrender became the only viable option.
These things in my memory are nothing more than that when the Celestial Army occupied this place, it was smooth sailing and did not encounter fierce resistance.
However, what does this have to do with Zhangzhuang taking root here and building a pirate base?
Could it be that they were already lurking here at that time, and when they saw the strength of the Heavenly Army, they adopted the strategy of taoguang and obscurity?
Or will they wait for the forces of the Celestial Army and the Celestial Kingdom to retreat, and they will take the opportunity to break into this area?
Such problems all existed in the same areas as those pointed out by the original Heavenly Soldiers, but the changes to the current state have their own special reasons and processes, and only those involved in them know the specific situation.
It is estimated that Zhang Xing's grandfather is one of such characters, and he must ask clearly when he turns around.
Mai Ke was thinking nonsense there as he manipulated the aircraft to land on the playground in front of the building.
At this time, many people had already seen this behemoth and came out to watch.
Sure enough, this is a place where the descendants of the Chinese people are concentrated, and they like the habit of onlookers, and they are all the same.
However, Mai Ke has a good explanation for this, which shows that the Chinese people are full of enthusiasm for life, which is well shown in the onlookers who treat strange things.
At least a hundred times better than those who are indifferent to everything.
However, in this way, the idea of letting Zhang Xing quietly enter the village to shoot guns was directly in vain.
Therefore, he is the only one who looks like he has eaten bitter gourd with a face full of bitter melon.
Seeing the countless heads poking out of the window, and the whip could not be restricted, Zhang Xing sighed.
It was the students who were in class normally, and they all stopped listening to the lecture and came out to watch the excitement.
He had no choice but to say to the guest, "Let's go! Now that everyone knows, it's useless to hide it, aren't you afraid to meet people?"
Mai Gongming said: "Don't be afraid! We have seen more people than you have heard. β
There was one sentence that he held back and didn't say: "And there are more bad people than good people!"
Of course, the feeling that there are more bad people than good people is also because his experience is more special, and the bad guys have caught up with him.
Otherwise, the ratio of good people to bad people is, by and large, five or five folios.
Zhang Xing jumped down in one step, and shouted to those onlookers: "Hello seniors, seniors, brothers, sisters, I, Zhang Xing, are back again!"
After shouting, there were still teachers in the crowd, and he added: "Hello teachers, I will salute you after the last school! β
While shouting, he made a gesture to everyone, and his attitude and posture were good.
Those juniors and juniors responded: "Hello senior!"
"Welcome seniors to visit us in their busy schedules, seniors have worked hard!"
"The senior is brave and respectable in resisting the enemy!"
"Seniors protect us, work hard!"
At least more than half of the students shouted like this, and it seems that this Zhang Xing is still very well-known, and he has a positive good reputation.
In the midst of the rise and fall of those young voices, there were also a few deep voices.
"Zhang Xing, you did a good job, the teacher is very pleased!"
"Zhang Xing, you should stick to your duty to defend the city, why come back if there is no need?"
"Zhang Xing, your internship has not expired, hurry back and resume your studies after the expiration of the period. β
"Zhang Xing! The Battle of the Strait of Malacca is especially serious, aren't you a deserter? If you dare to do that kind of ugly thing that insults the teacher, I will break your dog's legs!"
While chattering and chattering, a young girl hurriedly walked over with all the manners and steps, and scolded as she went: "Zhang Xing! Who let you leave your post without permission? Your performance has just improved, and you have raised your tail! I will lock you up!"
Zhang Xingwai shouted forcefully: "Xiangnu, are you my sister or your fiancΓ©, you treat me like this? Call me brother, is it difficult to respect your fiancΓ©?"
Seeing that sister's majestic mountains and rivers, and also seeing this brother's color calendar, Baili Liangliu and the other three suddenly understood why Zhang Xing was reluctant to come over.
Being pressed by such a sister is indeed a bit of a wretch.
In particular, he wore a fiancΓ©'s hat.
As for the brothers and sisters who are married or ordered to marry by their elders, this Zhang Xing said earlier that he did not shock the three of them for the second time.
Although it still sounds very awkward.
Especially Mai Gongming, when he saw that girl, he immediately hated the system of child marriage between brother and sister.
Even with Zhang Xing, this kid, he looked very unpleasant.
Xiangnu snorted and choked: "Brother and sister are not fake, although I am not happy and can't change it, but what kind of fiancΓ©, you are less self-righteous there, it is all your own affection! I have never promised you at all, just like you are now, hum! There are still 108,000 miles away from my request! In the future, you still don't talk about things everywhere, otherwise, the only brother and sister love will be gone." β
Zhang Xing originally had the demeanor of a general and was calm in trouble, but when he heard his sister say this, he couldn't help but be anxious: "You girl! You actually disobeyed your grandfather's order? Aren't you afraid that his old man will be angry and severely punish you?"
"You don't talk about grandpa! When I was young, my grandfather naturally decided the marriage! But now that I'm older and know right from wrong, grandpa naturally has to consider my opinion. β
Zhang Xing was angry and conflicted, and he didn't choose to speak: "You don't have a lot of strong words! It's not that you, the education institute, have nothing to do all day long, and you have many people who have nothing to do and come into contact with, and you want to find some reasons not to marry your brother and me, and want to run away with another wild man? I tell you, no way! Don't let me know who that man is, otherwise I will make him regret coming to this world." β
The girl named Xiangnu stumbled, almost fell, and lost her steady, and said angrily: "Zhang Xing! You are too bastard! Where can I find a man? Do you know that you are spreading rumors at this time? You are blind and suspicious without evidence! The family is most opposed to this kind of unscrupulous behavior! However, you also reminded me that from now on, I will find a powerful man to be my boyfriend! Also, you must be powerful, and you are not his opponent. β
Seeing that his sister was anxious, Zhang Xing also calmed down a little, knowing that his sister didn't have that kind of thing, and his sister said that he was looking for a man with higher skills than him, he was confident in this, and he didn't believe that he could find someone better than him in the entire Zhangzhuang range.
So he said, "Okay, you can find it quickly, and let me know when you find it." β
The fragrant girl said, "Why did I notify you?"
Zhang Xing said: "Didn't you say that you want to find someone who is better than me? I'll test you to see if it's better than me! Even if you are not your husband, you have to be responsible, but not anyone can be my brother-in-law! Find a wreck, it is better for me to take care of you." β
Xiang Nu said in her heart, this is almost the same, like an older brother.
He said: "Then I'll talk about it then; by the way, why are you here if you don't stick to your post today?"
Zhang Xing repeated the meaning of the guest asking to see the education center.
The fragrant girl was shocked when she heard it!
"Zhang Xing! You are really confused! The Education Institute is our major secret here, how can you allow outsiders to come in and provide them with a chance to peek at our national treasure? This absolutely cannot tolerate your wanton behavior. β
Zhang Xing's face also changed.
"You girl is too unreasonable! Their strength is very strong this time, at least the city I defended can be destroyed in one fell swoop! After losing the important coastal defense town, can these inland cities, which are equivalent to undefended cities, still be able to stop them? You say that your research institute will not let them see it, can you stop them from being surrounded by soldiers and approaching the city? Besides, grandpa agrees with them, which means that grandpa is very friendly to them, and everyone in that family can let them in, is your education institute more important than the center of the family?"
Xiangnu gave Zhang Xing a word, and she was a little poor in words.
"Although you have a point, I still can't let outsiders in here, even if my grandfather agrees to agree to meet them in the family place, he doesn't explicitly agree to let them enter the education center......
As he was talking, Mai Ke, Baili Liangliu, and Mai Gongming walked out of the aircraft.
Xiangnu glanced at it, saw the faces of the three people clearly, and was a little stunned.
Guy because all three are beautiful men!
The entire three walking statues of David.
The two middle-aged uncles in front of them are forgotten, if they are three or five years younger, they will definitely charge a finger, and now they are slightly inferior, although they retain a lot of style, they are still more outstanding if they are pulled out alone.
The young man in the back is a vivid David reappeared.
But it's much more powerful than David!
Because no one has ever seen the real David, but only seen his statue, this is this young man, but it is a living David!
Xiangnu was shocked by her heart, such an extremely excellent young man has only been seen in her life!
Her mind was racing, what was Zhang Xing saying there just now, looking for a man, and completely denying it, because she didn't have a single eye, she didn't think that she would have such a great guy now.
If such a man attacks me, he may not be able to hold on and fall.
Thinking wildly in his heart, his expression and words on the surface unconsciously turned around.
"Forget it, I'm a young man, I'm not so conservative, just take a look!"
The speed of her transformation caught Zhang Xing off guard, and he thought in his heart, haha, my words are still very sharp, and I was so impressed by this stubborn dead brain!
I heard the fragrant girl say: "Friends from afar are very happy, welcome the three of you to Zhangzhuang Education Institute!"
Baili Liangliu secretly instigated: "Gongming, you go!"
Although Mai Gongming is only 16 years old on the surface, his psychological age is 39 years old, and he has not changed the age before his age.
However, his situation is more special, at that age, let alone getting married and having children, the two serious relationships have never been talked about, so the love life is a blank, and the accumulation of experience is equal to zero eggs.
Just now he glanced at a fragrant girl, and for the first time, he had a heart-warming feeling.
Mu Shaoai in my heart, bite the bullet!
"I have met Dean Xiangnu, Xiaosheng Mai Gongming, come to visit, learn from the advanced education experience of your hospital, thank you for your permission, I am very grateful!"
As he spoke, he bowed slightly and clasped his hands.
He originally planned to have a handshake gift, and he was very yearning for it in his heart, but after thinking about it, don't be presumptuous!
What if this is still the old etiquette, and men and women don't kiss each other?
The incense girl also returned the salute like Mai Gongming, and said: "You're welcome! Please follow me in! Please bear with me if you are simple, and please give me advice if you are deficient." β
As he spoke, he bowed and asked everyone to move.
Zhang Xing also followed, and he was amazed in his heart.
How did this girl change sex today?
I've never seen her so gentle and frugal.
After walking a few steps, I came to the gate of the education center.
It is said that there is a gate, but there is no gate, but there is a stone monument standing in the middle.
Mai Ke and the others are all people with extraordinary eyesight, and they can see clearly from four or five feet away.
The inscription has a line of large characters - The Thirteen Commandments of Pirates!
Something that is so important and high-sounding to show this kind of content is indeed the style of pirates.
One of the styles of piracy is to dominate the sea and be invincible in the world!
By following the Thirteen Commandments of Pirates, I declare to the whole world that your so-called laws do not govern us pirates.
Seeing that the three of them were paying attention to this stone tablet, the incense girl said: "This pirate thirteen commandments are our fundamental charter, and the importance is equal to the constitution of the country of your foreign family, and we have placed it here because it is not only our school motto, but also the knowledge that every one of our students must master, because when they go out, they will serve as leaders at all levels, and be responsible for implementing and obeying these articles." β
Mak Gongming asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency Xiangnu, can't you adopt a normal constitutional blueprint and abandon this pirate rule?"
Xiang Nu said: "Of course you can! But we think this pirate code is the best! So it was adopted by Zhang Zhuang's ancestors; as the dean, if I think it's not good, of course I can cancel it and replace it with something else, I have this power, but I also think this pirate code is the best, and the most just, all of them will be retained!"
Baili Liangliu and Mai Ke let out an "oh" at the same time, as if they did not agree with this lady's point of view.
The incense girl observed her words and listened to her arguments, and already knew that the three guests did not agree with her statement, and suggested: "If you are interested, we can take a look at the relevant articles in detail, anyway, there are only thirteen articles, oh, the thirteenth article is my suggestion to add it, and it will not be long before it is amended." β
Baili Liangliu said: "Then take a closer look." β
So the three of them began to read the pirate code.
First, every crew member of a group pirate ship has the right to participate in the decision-making of major issues, and when there is a matter, everyone votes collectively, and every crew member has the same right to receive fresh food and alcoholic beverages, and cannot be possessed by the leader alone.
Second, each crew member shall be called to the deck of the robbed ship in a predetermined order, so that he may receive a new set of clothes in addition to his share of the booty.
Article 3: No one on board is allowed to gamble with cards or dice, and if anyone is found to have violated this rule, the value of which exceeds one or two pieces of silver, he shall be banished, and if it is inconvenient to be exiled, he shall be shot directly.
Fourth, the lights and candles are to be extinguished at eight o'clock in the evening. Anyone who wants to continue drinking should do so on deck.
Fifth, each crew member must keep the cannons, pistols and sabers clean and intact.
Article 6 Women and children are forbidden to stay on the ship, and those who bring a woman in disguise on board and those who engage with her without her consent shall be put to death.
Seventh, the person who leaves the ship or the combat post without permission, the person who steals the property of his associates, the person who conceals secrets or goods, shall be punished by death or thrown to an uninhabited island; in order to prolong the suffering of the punished, he will usually be left a small bottle of fresh water, so that he will wander for days with or without drinking it, and then he will die of torture for several days because of lack of water;
Article 8: Fights are prohibited on board. All quarrels should be settled ashore with a saber or pistol in the presence of a notary, and the murderer of his companion was to be tied to the dead and thrown into the sea.
Article 9 No one shall have the right to leave the pirate ship and move freely from the pirates when he has not yet received his share of the 1,000 taels of silver, and anyone who leaves without permission shall be punished as a traitor and drown in the sea.
Article 10 A person who has lost his siblings or become crippled in the course of a war may remain on the ship without work and receive 800 taels of silver from the "public savings", while those who have been lightly wounded receive less, such as 600 taels of silver or six slaves for those who have lost their right hand, 500 taels of silver or five slaves for those who have lost their left hand or right foot, 400 taels of silver or four slaves for those who have lost their left foot, and 100 taels of silver or one slave if they have lost an eye or a finger.
Article 11 The captain and the navigator shall receive two shares of the spoils of war, and the gunner, cook, doctor, and boatswain shall receive 1.5 shares, and the other employed personnel shall receive 1.25 shares, and the ordinary sailors shall receive one share.
Article 12 The musicians shall rest every Sunday, and for the remaining six days they shall play music for the amusement of the crew, especially in the battle with the enemy ships, to boost their morale.
Article 13 It is forbidden to take the initiative to become enemies of the Chinese people; even if they take the initiative to attack, they must retreat.
Among the three people, Mai Ke was the most shocked.
He was very familiar with the American navy and all the military systems or the legal system of the country as a whole, especially their operation, and no one could compare to this pirate code when it came to being concise and effective.
And he also understands that this code is only suitable for pirates on the surface, but in essence, it can be used for ordinary people with a little adjustment.
And those adjustments, all students who have graduated with the right education, can easily be competent.
Baili Liangliu has experience in managing the alliance around Gunongwu, and he knows that even if an economy is re-attacked, thoroughly implementing a simple and easy-to-implement system will greatly improve efficiency.
And this regulation is not completely unspecific, and it is not actually a problem.
If there is a problem in any system, it is basically not a problem of the regulations themselves, but a problem of complying with them.
No matter how perfect the regulations are, it will not help to comply with only one-tenth of them.
It is expected that it will take a lot of effort to prepare the code but it cannot be implemented, but it is better to have only a few simple articles and implement them vigorously and resolutely.
Mai Ke and Baili Lianglu were thinking deeply there, but the two young people were chatting enthusiastically.
This is also normal, because neither is interested in not only the content, but also the other person.
Of course, this is Mai Gongming and Xiangnu, and there is nothing to do with Zhang Xing.
In fact, Zhang Xing's interest is no longer here, but the city defense on the shore of the Strait of Malacca.
Mai Gongming asked: "This code clearly states that it is a pirate code, I see that there are a lot of ordinary people here, what rules control those people?"
"You mean the men who weren't on the ship, the men who were once pirates?"
"It's not just them, of course. β
"Those men, of course, are pirates for one day and pirates for life! Since they are pirates, they are subject to the pirate code, whether they are on a ship or on the shore, even if they have never been out to sea in their lives! β
"But there are women and children! According to the pirate code, they can't get on ships, so don't they have to be controlled by law?"
Of course, their husbands and fathers are pirates, and since they are pirates, they are subject to the pirate code, and the men who are pirates are of course the women and children who are controlled by men, and that is so simple. β

"It's really impressive, Xiaosheng admires it so much!"
"Hee-hee, I love to see you throw yourself to the ground!"
"By the way, Xiao Sheng has something unclear, and I don't know if to ask or not. β
"Forgive your innocence, you ask. β
"According to your pirate code, there are only rules on the distribution of the spoils, so there should be regulations on how other economic activities of your Zhangzhuang, such as making money or something, should be distributed. β
"Nope!"
"No?" This answer was really unexpected by Mak Gongming.
"Yes, no! I'll tell you and you'll understand! No matter how the money is obtained, it can be stolen by pirates; any job done by profession is treated as pirate robbery, and everything is done. β
Not only Mai Gongming, but also Mai Ke and Baili Liangliu were also shocked by this idea.
At this moment, a man with a voice like a bell rushed over: "Where are the guests?
