Chapter 350: Copying the Historical Records
Chapter 350: Copying the Historical Records
The fleet went down the river and soon returned to the dock at the mouth of the river.
Boris and Dudalei jumped on the pier, pulled Taichen up, and the three of them walked together to the camp.
When they entered the camp, the three of them found that it was very busy, everyone was doing their own work, the residents from Penghu were busy building wooden houses, and even the elderly, women, and children were doing what they could.
Du Dalei asked a guard who was patrolling about Zhao Zizhong's whereabouts, and the guard pointed to the north, "Old Du, Mr. Zhao is supervising over there, you go to him." ”
After Du Dalei thanked him, he went to Zhao Zizhong with Boris and Taiqin.
They kept asking where Zhao Zizhong was along the way, and after everyone's guidance, they finally found Zhao Zizhong who was working with the people.
Du Dalei immediately ran over and shouted, "Boss, we're back." We've found the natives and we've had a good time with them, hahaha! ”
Du Dalei hugged Zhao Zizhong, who was holding an axe in his hand, and shook it vigorously.
Zhao Zizhong hurriedly shouted: "Let go of me, there is something wrong with you?" ”
Du Dalei said with a hippie smile: "Boss, you are not a yellow flower girl, let me hug it for a while." ”
The people around him stopped what they were doing and watched Du Dalei nervous happily.
These residents from Penghu and Penghu all know that Zhao Zizhong is the big boss of the Seven Seas Company, and Du Dalei and the white-skinned man Boris are Zhao Zizhong's righteous and the leaders of this eccentric Seven Seas Company.
These days, they found that the high-level figures of the Seven Seas Company had no shelves, and the biggest leader, Zhao Zizhong, soaked in the construction site every day, eating, living and working with everyone. He eats the same meals as everyone else, and never opens a small stove. At night, like everyone else, I live in a shack. During the day, he worked with everyone, and never beat or scolded everyone, even if someone made a mistake, that is, he said a few words with a pleasant face, so that he could pay attention to it next time.
However, due to language communication difficulties, everyone rarely communicates with Zhao Zizhong, and when they encounter things and want to report to him, they all communicate through the guards who know the Fujian dialect.
And Du Dalei, the second goods, in the eyes of these people, is a guy with a very strong affinity. He wanders around the construction site when he has nothing to do, he can chat with anyone, and he has a strong ability to learn languages, these days, he can already understand some Fujian language, and can speak a few words.
Everyone likes this guy who is always smiling, and some children will pester Du Dalei when they see him. Children know that Du Dalei always hides some sugar cubes in his clothes. The children were not afraid of him either, and often ripped at his clothes and looked for candy.
Du Dalei played with the children with a smile every time, and after teasing them, he would give them all the candy cubes.
These residents of Penghu are a little afraid of Boris because he is of an alien race. In the eyes of the people, Boris is like the legendary White Tiger Star, tall and strong, and unsmiling.
These people are very satisfied with their life after coming to Liuqiu. Seven Seas gave them enough food every day to eat, and everyone was able to eat enough. Although the work is a little harder, you can build a wooden house for yourself and your family. So these people are very hardworking, often working late, and sometimes the guards need to come and force them to rest before they go back to sleep.
Zhao Zizhong struggled to break free of Du Dalei and kicked him a few times in anger.
Du Dalei hurriedly fled and hid behind Boris.
Tai Qin walked over and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, we are fortunate to have found the native people. ”
Zhao Zizhong hurriedly said, "Master, you can tell me about the specific situation." ”
So Taiqin told today's experience completely, and Zhao Zizhong was very happy after listening to it.
He said happily: "These natives are similar to the Murowei people in the north, they are all interested in salt, sugar, and iron. Tomorrow we'll send them some more things, and I think they'll make peace with us. ”
Boris said, "Boss, we can hire them to work here with food, cloth, iron, etc. I have been in touch with them a lot, and I think they will soon integrate into us. ”
Zhao Zi patted him on the shoulder and said happily: "Your idea is very good, these natives are all local snakes, if we can get rid of them, it will be of great help to open up inland in the future." ”
In the evening, Zhao Zizhong convened a meeting of key personnel, and Du Dalei first talked about the contact with the indigenous people.
There was a lot of talk about how to deal with the indigenous people.
Zhao Zizhong asked Zheng Debao: "Xiao Zheng, we will return to Qishan Island soon, and you will be the top person in charge of Seven Seas Company in Liuqiu in the future." What are your thoughts on these indigenous people? ”
Zheng Debao stood up and said loudly: "Mr. Zhao, I think that it is necessary to treat these natives with grace and power. On the one hand, we show them our strength, and on the other hand, we should be kind to them and try to meet their material needs. That's what I think. ”
Zhao Zizhong felt very relieved, this Zheng Debao has grown up very quickly! And the thinking is very mature, and he can be completely independent in the future.
Zhao Zi nodded emphatically and said, "Xiao Zheng's idea is very good, you can do it in the future." When the natives come tomorrow, you will be solely responsible for contacting them, and no one else will interfere.
I decided to return to Qishan Island the day after tomorrow and transport the second batch of personnel and supplies as soon as possible. Do you have any other comments? ”
Du Dalei asked, "Boss, why are you in such a hurry?" Should we stay longer? ”
Zhao Zizhong explained: "Da Lei, we stay here, its practical use is not very large, there are many people in the fleet, they are all sailors, and they don't know how to do any work. Staying here is just a waste of food and supplies.
If we return to Qishan Island and quickly mobilize some craftsmen and farmers to come over, we will greatly strengthen the strength here and build the camp as soon as possible, which will help the residents of Penghu survive the winter. ”
"This has the added benefit of increasing the proportion of our people here," Boris said. Now we have only a hundred guards, more than three hundred craftsmen and farmers here, and the forces are too weak. If we mobilize some people to beg for help, it will deter more than 1,000 Penghu residents and make them dare not disagree. ”
Everyone suddenly realized that there were so many twists and turns! Now the residents of Penghu are indeed a bit too much, if our personnel are too small, we will not be able to effectively deter them, in case someone has bad intentions, the people left behind will be in danger.
Zhao Zi thought about it again and said, "In this way, I will leave two hundred guards behind to help you temporarily deter the residents of Penghu." When the next group arrives, let them go back. ”
Zheng Debao and Liu Shiyuan glanced at each other and were very moved.
Zhao Zizhong said to the two: "You remember one thing, no matter what happens, the safety of our personnel comes first, and everything else can be discarded." I leave you two warships and four merchant ships. In the event of any accident, you must guard the bunker next to the dock, which is your way out. Under the cover of the bunker, you must quickly board the ship and flee back to the island. ”
Zheng Debao stood up and said loudly: "Mr. Zhao, nothing like this will happen to us, we will definitely be firmly rooted in Liuqiu." ”
Zhao Zizhong smiled and said: "I believe you can do it well, but you have to prepare for the worst, once something irresistible happens, you will run away immediately, this is not shameful, we will not blame you." ”
After discussing some details, the meeting was dismissed. Du Dalei asked:
"Boss, how are those three boys doing now? Can I go and see them? ”
Zhao Zi snorted and said: "They are all reflecting in the cabin, I will ask them to copy the "Historical Records", if they don't copy the "Historical Records" again, they will come up with it!" Lao Tzu counts when he speaks. ”
Du Dalei opened his mouth wide: "Boss, you're too ruthless, aren't you?" How many words are there in "Historical Records"? Do you ask them to copy it? ”
"Not much, not much, that's more than 500,000 words."
Du Da Lei Le: "Haha, this time they have something to do, and they will definitely be able to learn a lot of historical knowledge." Boss, can I go see them? ”
"Don't go, I order no one to contact them, this time they are playing too much, we must teach them a deep lesson."
Everyone had nothing to say, so they went back to rest.
The next morning, Zhao Zizhong ordered the fleet to start preparing for sailing, and everyone was nervously busy.
By noon, more than 70 natives had arrived at the camp with their families.
The guards quickly gathered around and surrounded the natives.
These natives were a little scared, they had never seen so many steel knives, spears, bows and crossbows before.
When Tai Qin and Du Dalei heard the news, they hurriedly ran over and told the guards to retreat.
The guards retreated some distance before the natives relented.
Du Dalei smiled and greeted a few natives he knew yesterday, and then took out a candy cube and distributed it to some local children.
Zheng Debao and Liu Shiyuan also arrived, and Taiqin introduced the two to the natives.
After some exchanges, the two sides finally finalized the employment agreement.
The Seven Seas Company paid them salt, grain, and cloth, and hired the natives to work, take care of two meals a day, and provide them with accommodation.
The natives were very happy and immediately celebrated with singing and dancing.
Dudale brought a jar of liquor and gave it to the native men. The guys soon got drunk and fell to the ground and fell asleep.
The guards brought food, these natives had straight eyes, so many delicious foods, all exuding an attractive aroma, they had never seen it in their lives!
