Chapter 51: Improving Food

"I don't know how to settle this ransom fee?" Zhang Rusong couldn't help but ask with some apprehension.

Sun Wenbin on the side waved his hand, "These people see how you get them, it's best to take care of them here for a period of time if they are not suitable for transportation, you can let your family members come and take care of them, those who are not injured can basically leave now, and you can take them away after I call them to go through the formalities." ”

Zhang Rusong was a little stunned, isn't this still a matter of not talking about money? I had to ask again: "Then ...... this silver?" ”

Yang Minghuan smiled, "We have returned from overseas, our hearts are towards China, we don't want to take China as an enemy in the first place, you have attacked my camp, both sides have been damaged, the matter has come to this, we don't want to expand this matter, the release of these gentlemen, as my American goodwill to China." ”

Zhang Rusong stumbled when he heard this passage...... It took me a while to figure out that it was free, and I couldn't help but feel nervous. He originally planned to negotiate a good price with the pirates here and go back to add 10%, but this time the pirates generously released him directly...... Where do you go to make money? But on second thought, how can a living person suffocate urine? Even if the Americans generously let people go directly, they just don't take them back now. Now anyway, the porters are drinking water and resting in the distance, and they don't know what they are talking about with these Americans, so just leave these people here for the night, and let the other side scrape together enough money to come and pick up the people themselves, including even those corpses can make a fortune.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly bowed his hand to Yang Minghuan, "I didn't bring a carriage and sedan chair this time, so it's inconvenient to bring these people back, so it's better to bring their family members to pick them up in two days, I don't know if it's appropriate." ”

Sun Wenbin smiled when he heard it, he didn't have as many fancy intestines as Zhang Rusong, these rich children have always been pampered, and there have been many people who have not contributed to their work during this time, and they can't carry things even if they are whipped, and staying here is originally a scourge. Seeing Zhang Rusong's request, he nodded and agreed.

Zhang Rusong hurriedly nodded in thanks, and then took out a list from his sleeve, and saw that the people who traveled through it were amazed, the sleeves of this ancient man were really like Doraemon's other-dimensional pockets, saying that if you take out something, you can take out something. Yang Minghuan took it and took a look, it turned out to be a list of reward items.

…………………………

In the office of the executive committee, several people who had just returned from the meeting sat in a circle with the executive committee members who had not attended. In order to prevent the occurrence of assassination actions such as "throwing a cup as a trumpet and stepping forward with a sharp blade", the Executive Committee should not go with the natives when they go to meet with them, so as not to be suddenly boiled by the natives. Even in the open field just chosen, there were several snipers covering in the lookout and in the grass next to it, and as long as there was something wrong, they tried to shoot and kill them, but until the aboriginal "condolence group" left, nothing happened, which made everyone present breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Five barrels of local rice wine, 20 stones of rice grain, 10 local cotton cloths, 2 cows and horses, 10 pigs, and 5 maidservants?" Du Yande's eyes were a little dizzy, and he looked up and asked Yang Minghuan, "What are they sending the maid for?" ”

Yang Minghuan said with a slightly angry look, "What else can you do?" It's nothing more than a role like a comfort woman, all of them are skinny, and what they don't say is what they say is sent to make people ruined, these ancients really don't treat women as people. ”

"The women of the people came to die honestly?"

"Why not? I heard that I was hungry for three days at the beginning, and then I was tied with a rope and put on a cart and sent over. Yang Minghuan shook his head unbearably as he spoke, "It's miserable......"

"This is good, if you wait until King Chuang comes in a few years, then the woman will not be allowed to wear clothes directly, and she will directly carry grain and grass in the back, and those who can't move will be killed and eaten directly, and directly used as two-legged sheep, and by the way, you can also solve the problem of dissatisfaction with the desires of King Chuang's subordinates." Du Yande sighed and said. "Let's hope we can change the course of this terrible history when we come here."

Yang Minghuan nodded and continued, "These five women have been sent to the health team for purification, but let them eat first, so as not to really starve to death." ”

Du Yande sighed, "So how are these women going to use it?" ”

"How else can I use it?" Yang Minghuan chuckled, "You can't really send them to be comfort women, the two older ones are sent to the canteen to help Master Tang and Aunt Tian, and the three fifteen-year-old girls are going to let the education team give them a special class, carry out some education first, and train junior teachers in the future." ”

"No problem, it's best, women's ability to work is limited, and it's just right to do this."

"You want to be beautiful!" Sun Wenbin, who was immersed in planning on the side, said, "This is Annan, and the woman here is a man." ”

"Is there one?" Shen Bin on the side became curious, "Can a woman be willing?" ”

"Why can't you be willing? Let's just say Guangxi, Guangxi women are hard-working and hard-working, and when we went to Guangxi to harvest camellia seeds in our factory, some women moved things there. Sun Wenbin shook his head as he spoke, and continued to record things in the notebook.

"I'll go!" Shen Bin was speechless, "What about the man?" ”

"Don't say it, both Guangxi and Guangxi have some such problems, women work outside, men drink tea and play cards at home, and they have to beat their wives when they come back."

"I'll go!" Tang Shuai's loud voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "I knew that the woman over there was so good, so I didn't have to cross it!" In addition to going to work, my wife goes home to drink tea and play cards to sleep, and I knew that I went directly to Guangxi to find my wife! Then came his hurried knock on the door.

Du Yande got up and walked to the door and opened the door.

Tang Shuai was standing in front of the door, with a happy smile on his face, and asked Du Yande, "What are you going to do with the ten pigs sent over today?" ”

"Ten pigs?" Sun Wenbin threw the pen and stood up, "You didn't kill everything, did you?" ”

"No, everyone is circling around the pigs." Tang Shuai shrugged his shoulders, "I can cook, but I won't kill pigs." You'll have to find another way to do this. ”

"I took a look at the ten pigs, and there was only one boar in it, I'm afraid I wanted to stay as a breeding pig, and we also brought a few pigs ourselves, I think we can kill one for everyone to improve the diet." Yang Minghuan suggested.

Tang Shuai's head shook like a rattle, "No, this is definitely not enough." ”

Everyone was stunned for a while, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him.

I saw him continue to shake his head while saying, "How can a pig be enough to eat?" We have been eating fish in the canteen for dozens of days, and this finally got pigs, everyone wants to eat, and when the time comes, there will be no more left to feed a few people, and there may be a pork riot at that time, I think it is better to kill them all, the lard can be preserved for a long time, and the pigskin and bristle industry are useful. ”

"That's right, our industry needs these things, and we haven't eaten pork for a long time......" Zhang Yuan said with a sudden smack of his lips. It felt like I hadn't eaten it in my life. ”

Tang Shuai got permission and brought six pigs to the back of the house, but all the elders present were staring at each other, and no one would kill the pigs...... In the past, you could just go straight to the vegetable market to eat meat, but now no one has ever done it when faced with the need to turn live pigs into meat on the market...... Moreover, all the female elders ran away early in the morning, and most of them couldn't bear to eat their flesh when they heard it. Just when everyone was at a loss, the most surprising thing was that the two women who were sent here today walked out, kowtowed to Tang Shuai, and asked him for permission to let the two of them give it a try.

These two women actually boiled water and sharpened knives with their hands and feet, and killed all the pigs directly with their hands and feet...... made all the onlookers stunned for a while.

At this time, Shen Bin rushed to ask the names and family status of the two women, one of whom was called Ruan Van and the other was Zhou Liu. Both women were already married, and their husbands were captured with this attack, and they had no money to redeem their husbands, so they wanted to exchange the man with themselves, but they tied them up and sent them over without saying a word. Here, Tan Lian called up the information in a few minutes, one of the two women's men was intact, and the other was shot in the leg, and he is still being treated in the medical team.

When Tang Shuai was cooking, Tan Lian transferred the two men out and met with the two of them. Sure enough, as soon as the two women saw their man, they threw themselves into each other's arms and cried, which made the two men at a loss. Tan Lian took the opportunity to learn more about the situation, it turned out that these two families were from nearby Liujiazhai, and after the man came out to fight this time and was captured, his family did not know whether he was alive or dead, and he was seized by the same sect, and the woman had no way to make a living, so she simply sold herself to the pirates. But I didn't expect to see my family here. It just so happened that there were no children in these two families, so several people from the Civil Affairs Committee, who had just hung up the sign for less than three days, hurriedly ran to register them.

The establishment of the Civil Affairs Committee was also an inevitable product of this special situation, and nearly 2,000 prisoners had been captured during this period of time, and as the houses in the camp were built one by one, tents were gradually distributed to the prisoners to live in, and as many of the "progressive" prisoners took the initiative to "join in", it was very inappropriate to let them live in the prisoner camp, so the Civil Affairs Committee specializing in civil affairs came into being. At this time, the construction of a 200-household dormitory group has begun near Sun Wenbin's farm, which adopts the popular dormitory building pattern in China in the fifties and sixties of the 20th century, with a total of 24 households on two floors in each building, each household is about 30 square meters, using public toilets and public toilets, although all units have kitchens, but they are not used for the time being because they are now eating in the canteen. Because of the surplus of labor at this time, the construction of these houses was completed in half a month, and through the guidance of these naturalized people, the traversers found many deposits that had not been discovered by the "amateur" explorers before, such as limestone mines and an iron ore mine that was close at hand.
