"Lao Wu, you're here!" Looking at it, Zhou Dongtian came in from outside, the training uniform he was wearing was full of ink stains, in fact, he was a firefighter before the crossing, and later a judicial worker, but because he was very familiar with printing affairs, he became the head of this printing room. He also paid for most of the equipment in the house.

"What, the newspaper is out?" Ude pointed to the proof.

"Yes, the Executive Committee has approved Tintin's suggestion to start a newspaper, but only an occasional tabloid. Fifty copies of the first issue were printed. ”

"I don't think this newspaper is positioned right, who are you going to show it to?"

"Do you think we don't know Marx?"

"Since it's for the locals, how do you use simplified Chinese? Moreover, did the Executive Committee consider the issue of literacy? Wu De thought this was really a joke, so let's just say that of the 138 captives he managed, except for one Zhang Xingjiao, who could read and write, only two or three small landlords could read and write, and the illiteracy rate was high at more than 95%. In such a social environment, isn't it superfluous to print newspapers?

"Literacy for your labor team is about to begin," Zhou Dongtian pointed to the computer over there, "The first draft of the literacy textbook has been released by the cultural and educational team, and we are also going to make lithographs and make some literacy cards." ”

"I really want to think about it."

"It's all Ding Ding's idea," Zhou Dongtian smiled, "This reporter really thinks that he has great ambitions, and in addition to running a newspaper, he also wants to publish textbooks." ”

"It's good to have an idea, by the way, this is the manuscript, help me print it out as soon as possible."

"You have this little thing, I'll take the printer and wax it for you to come out. Just wait a minute. As he spoke, he went to turn on the computer, and Wu De's manuscript was written on the computer, and it was directly transmitted to the OA by wireless network, and even the computer typing effort was saved.

"Now that there is a computer network, what documents do you still print? Civilianism! Wu De sighed.

"Probably to leave an archive of text in the future, the computer is going to break down one day." Zhou Dongtian adjusted the machine and put wax paper on it, "In another ten years, it is estimated that these things will have to be written by hand." I also brought an old-fashioned Chinese typewriter and counted on wax paper when the machine broke. ”

After mimeographing the materials, as a rule, he had to keep a copy for the intelligence group for archiving, and he went directly to talk to several principal leaders of the executive committee.

"You mean the captives are not at ease?" Wen Deji asked.

"Yes, and I'm afraid some people will always be at ease." "According to the latest report, the small landlords, rich peasants, and middle peasants who have their own homestead land are not able to go back to work because they are about to be busy with farming, and they are worried about their families, so they have always been impetuous. ”

"There shouldn't be many of them."

"That's right, but the average tenant has a similar problem, they can't pay the rent if they don't collect food, and there is no guarantee of their own livelihood and that of their families."

"Uh-huh."

"I really feel that you can live there, only those who are extremely poor or long-term workers who have no family to worry about."

"So there aren't many people willing to join us." Wen Deji was a little discouraged.

"Yes, we are actually attractive to the poor, especially after the introduction of the 'worker' treatment. At least for the people who used to carry the work, it is much better for us to do it than for the old money. However, for tenants and poor peasants who have a little bit of family property, this is not necessarily the case -- they are more concerned about 'living in peace' -- in fact, these people are worried about 'how long the red flag can be raised'. ”

"Until we achieve a greater victory or a legitimate position, I am afraid that this concern will not be dispelled." Xiao Zishan also looked disappointed.

"Even if you have concerns, you have to carry it out." Wen Deji thought about it for a moment, "Do you remember the predetermined policy, the 'light effect'?" As long as people see that they can live better if they serve us, they will naturally lean towards us -- the common people still look more at what is in front of them. ”

"I agree with this, as long as you can give benefits earnestly, the people will not forget it."

"Also, the eight Li prisoners are now being held in the prisoner camp and have not been incorporated into the labor corps. What is the Executive Committee going to do with them? ”

"We are preparing to use them as a breakthrough to have a certain relationship with the Lidong traffic in the south." Xiao Zishan explained, "Mu Min is doing this work. The results will be available in a few days. ”

The implication is that this matter is not your concern, and Wu De nodded. As he was talking, Wen Desi's PHS rang, and someone said something on the phone, and Wen Desi said: "Let them wait first, and entertain them well." Here we are. He said to Wude: "A local man has come to visit us." ”

"Oh?" Wude came interested.

"It's for the sake of the captives, you can go with us, by the way, bring Xiong Buyou with you. And who else? Local interpreters were called. ”

"Okay, I'll do it."

Since the county's two-way counteroffensive failed miserably, the situation in the entire Lingao County has become tense again. I heard from the villagers who fled back that the pirates had very powerful firearms, and they were killed when they hit each other, and even the regimental training of the famous Huangjiazhai in this county was defeated, and even Huang Shoutong himself was seriously injured and was carried back to Huangjiazhai directly. The people in the city were panicking, some of the gentry had already moved their belongings and people to relatives in remote places or to their own villages, while others panicked and said that they were in trouble at home or unwell, and they all went home. Even the refugees hiding in the city wanted to get out of the city - they heard that these short-haired pirates were coming to wash the city for revenge,

After tossing for a few days, seeing that the thieves had no intention of attacking the city, the officials and gentry were frightened. Because the loss was too great, for a while the internal noise began to rise. The disgraceful failure of the seamless attack that was originally thought to be planned made Liu Jinshi's so-called strategy of begging thieves proved to be completely useless. Some people are saying that Liu Jinshi is a talented and talented soldier, and he has mistaken the court and the countryside, and he has made Liu Dalin, who is already not in good health, angry and half to death -- he has worked hard for a month to end up like this. He was also not in good health, so he returned home to recuperate.

Wu Xian Ling was angry and inconvenient to stop, and he only sulked in the flower hall every day, and he was worried. It has been nearly a month since the pirates landed, and they still have no intention of retreating, and the gentry have lost trust in themselves, and the hearts of the people in the city are scattered. As for the Fucheng side, in addition to a book asking him to "guard the city" and other nonsense, it is to remind him that the imperial court's autumn grain levy is imminent, and ask him to fully supervise this matter.

"Levy grain, levy grain, now it's a mess, what kind of grain is collected!" Wu Mingjin was indignant. After thinking about it, I had to ask the teacher.

This master Wang's name is Zhaomin, a native of Guangdong, who has been in various states and counties in the province for many years, and is very familiar with the local set.

Master Wang pondered for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Dong Weng, we can't drive away the thieves, so we can only pay for it." ”

"Lines?" Wu Xianling was startled, and almost didn't jump up and scolded ridiculousness. But after all, he had been immersed in local officialdom for many years, and he immediately calmed down.

"Does it work?"

Master Wang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is also an expedient measure. The most important thing at the moment is the autumn grain! Just want to harvest this season's autumn grain, and naturally the world is peaceful. Pirates, all provinces in Fujian and Guangdong are making trouble, can't we make trouble here? ”

"Yes, yes, the old gentleman said yes." Wu Xianling had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and suddenly he frowned, "It's just that this matter, I'm afraid I can't hide it from Shangxian, and the factory guards-" As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced around.

"Dong Weng doesn't have to worry too much, things in the officialdom are better than more things than less. As long as the autumn grain is put into storage, the county seat will not be lost, what will the people of Futai do to deal with this? So do others. Master Wang whispered, "With the momentum of the thieves, if you want to take this county seat a long time ago, why build a camp to live in Bairentan?" They do not plunder or kill people in this county, and they are quite benevolent and righteous. ”

"Reasonable, reasonable." Wu Mingjin nodded again and again, "But this matter is not trivial after all-"

"Don't worry," Master Wang said with a look on his face, "I'm afraid it's not us who are anxious to get the thieves to pay, but the gentry." As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said many more words.

Sure enough, the gentlemen were worried about their harvest, and some of them wanted to contact the pirates because there were people in their villages who were missing in the "Suppression of Bandits".

After discussion, the representative sent by the gentry was a broken landlord in the county, named Zhang Xingfu, because his father was a gambler, and he almost lost his family, and he was left with only 100 acres of sloping land, purely watching the sky and eating. Because his wife's maiden family is a little related to Liu Xiang's family, he can talk to all kinds of people who are active in this vicinity, and he is often entrusted by people to deal with pirates. Although all parties did not fully trust him, they had to talk to him in the middle of the matter. He himself used this status to make some extra money and get paid.

The people who came with him were either the stewards of a certain family or distant relatives of other families, and the gentry were afraid that they would come and detain the pirates for extortion, so they sent some people who did not matter. They all carried gifts, pigs, sheep and gifts, and took the post to visit, which was humbly called "waiter" according to the habit of communication between the scholars and doctors at that time.

After walking for less than half an hour out of the county seat, I could see the earthen ramparts and towers in front of me from a distance, and I knew that the camp of the pirates had arrived. It's been more than a month since these pirates landed, and everyone has only heard of their names, not even their voices. Many people knew that they had beaten the strongest regimental training in the county in a moment, and even Huang Shoutong was defeated. However, I heard that the pirates are still well-disciplined, and it makes them feel at ease.
