Early the next morning, Ye Yan came to the office and waited for Guan Zhenhai. What happened last night Ye Yan thought about it all night, and it seemed that it was really impossible not to rectify the patrol room. These patrols are becoming more and more unpleasant now, and if they continue like this, not only will Liu Guannan be difficult to explain, but I am afraid that the committee and the federation will also come to the door every day to find trouble.

Ye Yan sat for a while, Guan Zhenhai hadn't come yet, and a patrol knocked on the door and came in: "Chief Inspector Ye, someone is looking for you." ”

"Who's coming for me." Ye Yan asked casually.

"It's a little girl." The patrolman replied, "I said I came to return your clothes." ”

Ye Yan guessed that it might be the singer from last night: "You take the clothes down for me and say thank you." ”

"Yes, Chief Inspector." The patrol turned around to go out.

"Wait." Ye Yan suddenly changed his mind, "You go and bring her over, I have something to ask her." ”

After a while, the singer from last night entered Ye Yan's office, holding Ye Yan's clothes in her hand: "The little woman thanked Chief Inspector Ye for his help last night, this is the clothes that Chief Inspector Ye dropped, and the little woman sent it to you." ”

"Thank you, girl, please take a seat." Ye Yan took the clothes and put them on the table casually, "I haven't asked the girl's name yet." ”

Ge Ji stood up and replied, "The little girl's name is Yan Hong, and she is seventeen years old. ”

Ye Yan smiled, he knew that this name was the name in the Qinglou, not his real name: "Girl's surname?" ”

Yan Hong shook her head: "Chief Inspector Ye, the little woman doesn't remember what her surname is." ”

"Miss Scarlet, don't think about it." Ye Yan knew that he might have touched on her sad past, so he quickly changed the topic, "The girl is not a local, how long has she been in Yulin Bay?" ”

"The little woman's home is in Guangdong, and she has been here for more than three years."

While the two were talking, Ye Yan asked about the situation of Fangzheng's Qinglou, and there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." A young female patrolman walked in with a document, "Chief Inspector Ye, this document needs your signature." ”

"Got it." Ye Yan picked up a pencil, opened the document and looked at it for a while, "You go back and tell your inspector that there is a change in the number of female patrols assigned to various police stations, which is what Chief Inspector Liu personally explained before he went to Wanzhou." Take this document back first, and wait for Chief Inspector Liu to come back before giving instructions. ”

After Ye Yan finished speaking, he looked up at the female patrol in front of him, and the female patrol didn't seem to listen to what Ye Yan was saying, but was staring at Yan Hong.

Ye Yan knocked on the table: "You have written down everything I said?" ”

"Yes, Chief Inspector." The female patrolman came back to her senses, "What did you just order?" ”

Ye Yan smiled: "Talking to you, so inattentive." You take this document back first, and then give instructions when Chief Inspector Liu comes back. ”

"Yes, Chief Inspector." The female patrolman saluted and took the papers away.

Yan Hong stood up and said goodbye: "I'm sorry to disturb Chief Inspector Ye, the little woman is leaving." ”

Ye Yan said politely: "The girl walks slowly, and she often comes to sit when she has time." ”

Yan Hong left, the door of Ye Yan's office was pushed open again, and the female patrol probe just now came in: "Brother, who was that girl just now?" ”

This female patrol is Ding Laosan's niece, named Ding Yan, and she is also a little related to the Ye family. Ding Laosan has been following Li Shuang in Yazhou, and sent this niece to Yulinwan Academy a few years ago. I just graduated last year, and I was catching up with the expansion of the patrol room, so I trusted Ye Yan's relationship to enter the patrol room and became a female patrolman. When Ding Yan was still in school in Yulinwan Academy, she often went to the Ye family, and she was very familiar with the Ye brothers, and she kept calling Ye Yan brother.

"Ding Yan, why don't you ask." Ye Yan smiled, "You said that you are a little girl, it is not good to stay in your female patrol area, and run around all day long." ”

Ding Yan glanced at Ye Yan: "If you don't tell me, I know everything." Where did you go with Cao Lin last night, when I go to your house, tell my sister-in-law to see what you do. ”

"Don't talk nonsense to your sister-in-law." Ye Yan hurriedly said, "It's okay to let you tell you something." ”

"My heart is empty." Ding Yan pointed at Ye Yan and smiled, "I'm my sister-in-law's eyeliner, and you can't hide anything from us." ”

"I really regret getting you into the patrol room." Ye Yan joked, "I should tell my third uncle that I will find you an in-law to marry as soon as possible, so that someone can take care of you." ”

"I don't like it." Ding Yan pursed her mouth, "If I really want to marry, I have to marry someone like you and my second brother." ”

"Are you ashamed, you have to find your own in-laws."

The two brothers and sisters were laughing, and a patrol came in and reported: "Chief Inspector Ye, Chief Inspector Guan is here." ”

"Let him in." Ye Yan put on a serious expression and said to Ding Yan, "You go back first, I still have something to do here." ”

Xia Yang was sitting in the office looking at the report of the liquidation team with a sad face, this report had been read no less than three times, but Xia Yang still hadn't figured out how to talk to the crossing conference. The average person is less than three thousand taels of silver, and it is difficult for Xia Yang to imagine what the consequences will be once this figure is made public, because most of the traversers think that Yulin Bay must be rich now.

A committee secretary knocked on the door and came in: "Chairman, there's an English ship on the docks. ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Now that merchant ships from various countries come to Yulin Bay from time to time, Xia Yang didn't understand why a British ship had to report to him separately, "You can receive it as you want, and the Customs and Commerce Bureau will deal with it." ”

"Chairman, they're not here to do business." The secretary said, "The ship did not carry any cargo, it was full of people, two hundred and sixteen Englishmen in all. ”

"There are so many people." Xia Yang was a little excited, could it be that a boatload of Puritans really came.

"Who brought them here?" Xia Yang asked.

"It's the same Captain Weddell from before." The secretary replied, "He's still on the docks." ”

"Let's go and welcome together." Xia Yang took his secretary to the dock.

There were many people on the dock, although there were not many Westerners in Yulin Bay, but so many Westerners came at once, which still caused a lot of onlookers, not to mention that most of these Westerners were women and children.

Li Lin, the customs commissioner, was talking to Weddell about something, and Xia Yang walked over to say hello: "Captain Weddell, welcome to Yulin Bay, you brought these people?" ”

"Your Excellency." Weddell laughed, "This was recruited from England at your behest to be Puritans, more than fifty families in all. ”

Xia Yang asked Li Lin, "How do you want to settle it at customs?" ”

"Lao Xia, don't push us to customs." Li Lin said with a smile, "People are coming for you, and your committee has to decide the matter of placement." ”

Xia Yang thought about it, turned his head and instructed the secretary who came with him: "You go to the inns everywhere first, which one has more empty houses, let's charter it first." Put them in for now, and talk about it slowly. ”

Xia Yang temporarily held a committee meeting, and so many British people came at once, how to make good use of this resource became Xia Yang's top priority.

Chief Secretary for Administration Lui Xin came up with an idea, and among the 216 Britons, there are a total of 88 adult men. What Lu Xin means is that all of them are placed in various government departments. At present, there are many problems in various departments in Yulin Bay, especially the corruption problems in the patrol house and the customs, which have not been solved, so Lu Xin wants these British people to bring a little fresh air.

The rest of the committee did not agree to do so, and a few dozen Britons could not change anything. At that time, Hong Kong was also under British rule, but when corruption was rife in Hong Kong, those high-ranking British officials were also complicit. Godber, who was promoted to Chief Superintendent, received a total salary of HK$891,900 from 10 August 1952 to 30 May 1973. But his total estate was HK$4.37 million.

Put these dozens of Britons in various departments, not only will they not change anything in Yulin Bay, but they will make Yulin Bay change. I'm afraid it won't be long before Godber from Yulin Bay will appear.

The nine committee members debated for a while, but Xia Yang finally came up with an idea. First of all, Yulin Bay will be fully opened to these British people, let them live here and visit for a month, and at the same time, various departments can also inspect them, and then make a two-way choice after a month. During this month, the committee will arrange food and lodging, and after a month, it will be arranged separately by each receiving department. For those who want to do business on their own and seek development, Yulin Bay will obey their wishes and will never force them. For those children, the Committee will negotiate with the Education Bureau as soon as possible to resolve their enrolment issues.
