Chapter 442: Peace Talks from All Sides

Thinking like this, a Qing man, because he was in too much of a hurry, suddenly fell to the ground with people and goods. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And the immigrants next to him are too close. So all of a sudden, the screams of pain did not stop, and I fell down a large area.

Gannon sat by the carriage and was nearly knocked over by a bag of rice.

When the instructor saw this, he immediately whistled. The other immigrants, immediately under his instructions, rushed over to help. Gannon also quickly got up from the ground and lifted the rice on tiptoe to his shoulder.

Because the carriage was close by, he only had to turn around and put the rice on it, and he would get a job for nothing.

But a six-foot-tall Qing man had already run over at a very fast speed. Without further ado, he smiled dryly, "Hey! Big brother, I'm sorry for you! ”。 As he spoke, he raised his hands and made a gesture to take the rice.

Gannon was slightly stunned.

When the Qing people saw it, they thought Gannon wouldn't give it. It was embarrassing to say: "Big brother, don't worry! Turning back, I'll treat you to that Rausch rum. ”。 As he spoke, he was hunched in front of the carriage.

Gannon looked at him anxiously and didn't say much. threw the rice away, and it landed on the shoulders of the Qing people.

Now, the smile of the Qing people is a little more sincere. Although this bag of rice is only two points. But these Qing people are basically a group of people at the bottom of society who cannot solve the problem of food and clothing.

So when I came to Daming, I was still very frugal. In the eyes of others, there is no difference between one job and two jobs, but in their eyes, they must be as close as their lives. This makes many non-Qing immigrants instinctively think that Qing people are more stingy.

But these days of getting along, the easy-going temperament of the Qing people is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, even if Gannon does not understand in his heart, he will not have a seizure on his face.

It was for this reason that he returned the rice to the Qing people. lest he be mistaken into thinking that he is going to compete with him for work.

Seeing that the Qing people were as nimble as a loach, he turned around and left the rice still on the carriage. At this time, the Qing people who fell down also stood up one after another. The soles of their feet are as if they are oiled, and they run fast. The Qing people were afraid of delay, so they thanked Gannon and ran towards the merchant ship in a hurry.

After this episode, many immigrants took the initiative to move their goods without waiting for the rest time to be over. The docks are also back in order.

But not long after, a team of more than 200 policemen dressed in navy blue police uniforms suddenly ran over in a hurry. Without saying a word, the avenue connecting the pier to the city was blocked. Some businessmen who were about to leave were also driven out of the car. Pedestrians who came and went were dispersed outside the cordon.

For a while, the people of the dock were panicked and looked a little disorganized. Gannon also pricked up his ears nervously, frozen in place.

Although the police usually do nothing to them. But for work reasons, the policemen always kept a straight face and carried muskets. It's unconsciously intimidating. For newcomers like Gannon in particular, the police often arrest new immigrants who leave school without permission at the request of the school.

So Gannon and them, instinctively, were terrified.

It was only then that the instructor, who supervised their work, whistled and gathered them together. Following the meteor, he walked towards a policeman who looked like a team leader.

"Haha, Lao Yang! Are you trying to catch a thief or not? It's menacing, but it freaks out the migrants under my command. ”。 As he spoke, the instructor took out a cigarette and handed it to the policeman named Lao Yang.

Although the two are not affiliated with each other, the security of the branch has always been the responsibility of the police. Therefore, I usually communicate more frequently. And because the ancestral land of the two is from Haicheng County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian. Therefore, when the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears. ’。 The private relationship is more warm.

It is also in this era that the temperament of the Qing people is still relatively simple. There is a world of difference from the dirty psychology of 'fellow villagers see fellow countrymen and get a shot in the back' in later generations. Therefore, they attach more importance to their fellow villagers.

At that moment, the policeman named Lao Yang was very skilled in taking the instructor's cigarettes. Although in terms of taste, it can't catch up with the cigarettes produced by those cigarette factories. But it's cheaper! After all, the lowest-grade cigarettes cost two yuan for a box.

And an ordinary salaried class, the monthly income is only 30 to 40 yuan. Although their salaries are one to two percent higher, their salaries are relatively good.

However, since the shortage of materials in the Ming Dynasty, the output of tobacco has been declining. Since ancient times, everything is scarce and expensive! So the price of tobacco is rising. In the past, the cigarettes sold in bulk were only three triangles of Chinese dollars, but now they have risen to seven corners.

That's more than double.

As for the whole box of cigarettes, it has risen to five yuan. Ordinary people really can't afford to eat.

So Lao Yang took a few puffs of cigarettes and seemed to enjoy it very much. When he came back to his senses, he didn't feel good and said, "Hey! We can't help it. There's an order on it, and we have to do it. ”。 As he spoke, he took a few more sips of obsessiveness, and continued: "It seems that the wind above says that there is a big man coming!" ”。 The tone was very low, and it seemed mysterious.

The instructor immediately looked at the bay and said suspiciously: "Oh! Guest? Could it be that the minister of the ministry came to inspect it? ”。 During this time, Nanyang newspapers have been reporting on Mu Chun's inspection. So that the administrative staff everywhere are cautious in their work. Even the principal of their school also let them, the instructors, manage the immigrants under them well, so as not to make mistakes.

When the policeman surnamed Yang heard this, he shook his head and explained: "That's the Minister of the Interior. It's still in Anbei Province! ”。 When the instructor heard this, he was even more puzzled: "That's?" ”。

Officer Yang immediately looked at the side, and when he saw that there was no one, he leaned into the instructor's ear and said, "I heard that they came from the west and the north, and there are many envoys. Our Da Ming also sent a big official. Probably negotiating! ”。

The instructor was taken aback and showed a look of surprise. Since the war between Siam and Burma in the north. Many people from Siam and Burma fled to Johor Bahru. Now he has a lot of immigrants from Siam and Burma in his hands. Therefore, this north side is very likely to be related to Siam and Myanmar.

To the west, the Maratha and Mysore wars in southern India, as well as the Bengal wars, were all related to the British. Although the war between the Ming Dynasty and the British was suspended, the war between the state and the British did not stop much. Therefore, he thought selfishly that the British might want to negotiate peace with local powers such as Mysore, Marata, Arakan, Assam, and Manipur.

These things have been reported by Daming's newspapers. And the foreign affairs director of the Ming Dynasty often appealed in the newspapers. Let the Siamese and Burmese sides, the Indian states and the British, consider the well-being of the local people and strive for peace negotiations.

He also made it clear in particular that he was willing to do everything in his power to bring about peace talks between all parties. Many immigrants from Siam, Burma, and India are grateful for the benevolence of the Ming Dynasty.
