When Qin Zhiyuan and Leotai mentioned Madagascar, Huang Lizheng and Wu Qing discussed the work arrangements for the next period. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the past two months, Huang Li and Wu Qing have done a lot of work.

Since the "Manantenina massacre", there have been many lives in the vicinity of Manantenina, and many Malagasy people have fully realized the ruthlessness of the "exploration guard", and their attitude towards the "exploration guard" has changed from hostility to fear.

In this way, it brought inconvenience to the work of the old Renault.

Old Renault was going to open a mine in Manantenina, but with the arrival of the "exploration team", the Malagasy people in Manantenina died and fled, and the population of the entire Manantenina area was less than one-tenth of what it used to be, and Old Renault simply could not find enough workers to work for him, even if he found more mineral deposits, it was useless.

The information provided by Qin Zhiyuan is still very accurate, after the exploration team formed by the old Renault from France arrived in Manantenina, it didn't take much effort for the exploration team to find very rich reserves of bauxite around Manantenina, and it was said that the mining work would start later, but because of the shortage of manpower, the mining work could not be carried out for a long time.

The elder Renault was a capitalist after all, and his investment in Pierre was to get a return, and when Manantenina could not provide enough workers for the elder Renault, recruiting workers from other places became the only option for the elder Renault.

In fact, although Madagascar is located in Africa, the Malagasy people are not purely black, and there is research to show that the Malagasy people are the ethnic groups that emerged after the Southeast Asians and Indians moved to Madagascar and merged with the local Malagasy people, so the Malagasy people are not considered black, and they are not considered yellow, but more similar to the brown race.

So the introduction of population from Southeast Asia, the old Renault really does not have any psychological obstacles, so after determining the mineral deposits in the Manan Tainina area, the old Renault immediately began to introduce the population from Southeast Asia, Annam and Korean people are the main force, Chinese and white people are the core, just more than half a month, there are tens of thousands of people from Southeast Asia to Manan Tainina.

Nearly 10,000 people, which sounds like a lot, but it is also a helpless move.

Manantenina is a place that does not have any industrial base, let alone a mine factory, and even basic transportation conditions are not available, this place is rich in water resources, but there is no hydropower station in the whole of Madagascar, so the old Renault needs manpower not only to mine deposits, but also to build roads and bridges to build various basic living facilities to ensure the production and life of the entire Manantenina area.

In this way, the number of workers needed is as many as possible, and even the "nearly 10,000 people" are simply not enough.

Fortunately, the old Renault still has an "exploration guard" in his hand.

So Huang Li and Wu Qing's job during this time was to capture Malagasy people all over the mountains and send them to factories in the Manantenina area.

"Recently, the work has become more and more difficult to do, and the people around here have basically been caught by us, and if we want more people, we have to be more diligent." Huang Li had a work report summarized by Wu Qing in his hand, and looking at the various figures on the report, Huang Li's heart had a tendency to blacken.

Huang Li and Wu Qing led the "exploration escort team" to go out to capture the Malagasy people, and they were paid handsomely.

Old Renault set up a "Renault Bauxite Company", and every time Huang Li and Wu Qing caught a Malagasy, Renault Baux would pay Huang Li and Wu Qing 100 francs as compensation, which gave Huang Li and Wu Qing enough motivation to beat the book numbers of Huang Li and Wu Qing almost every day.

So far, Renault Bauxite has paid Huang Li and Wu Qing a total of more than 700,000 francs, which is also about 700,000 yuan when converted into Lan Fangyuan, that is to say, in the past month or so, including Huang Li and Wu Qing, the income of each person in the "exploration guard" has exceeded 500 Lan Fangyuan, which is almost twice the normal income of Huang Li and Wu Qing. Huang Li and Wu Qing came to Manantenina from Lanfang, and in addition to their own income, they enjoyed a special allowance paid by the Lanfang Military Department, plus this one, the total income can indeed be described as "rich".

"If you just want to make money, then we don't need to work so hard, have you heard, that guy Magnum secretly sold the Malagasy people he caught to the French in Antananarivo, almost 400 francs a piece, and the French in Antananarivo sold these Malagasy people to the Americas, and it is said that the profit can be more than ten times." Wu Qing's voice didn't have the slightest emotion, it was a little dry.

Huang Li could still hear that Wu Qing was trying his best to endure the anger in his patience.

How can you not be angry?

When encountering Malagasy people on the battlefield, Wu Qing commanded the "massacre" without the slightest psychological shadow, but when this massacre turned into a "slave trade", Wu Qing didn't know how, and the guilt in his heart became stronger and stronger.

The object of Wu Qing's hatred is not only Magnum, nor only those French people in Antananarivo, but even Wu Qing himself, Wu Qing can't help but hate.

It's not about goodness and justice, it's just nature.

"They are them, we are us, we only do these things to fulfill the employer's requirements, not to make money, as for making money, if I can make a little money when I complete the employer's requirements, I don't mind." Huang Li doesn't have many virgins, nor does he have as many humanistic feelings as Wu Qing.

"I'm going to donate my share to the Military Service Club, and I'm going to have a hot hand for this kind of money." Wu Qing did not accuse Huang Li from a moral height, and still had his own plans.

"Whatever you want, but you'd better keep quiet, you want to donate the money, that's just your personal behavior, you can't ask others to be the same as you." Huang Li did not object to Wu Qing's plan, but only reminded Wu Qing not to break away from the masses because of this.

Donating money is always a personal act, if someone wants to donate, you can, just go yourself, don't publicize it loudly, and don't kidnap others with morality, others have other people's plans. Especially the kind of money that Wu Qing and Huang Li are making now, it is normal to describe it as "not clean", if Wu Qing carries forward his style, then should others also carry it forward?

"I just don't understand, this is contrary to the 'honor' we have been preaching, if this kind of money can be earned, then what have we become?" Wu Qing's expression was still serious, his attitude was also resolute, and his eyes looked at Huang Li with a little contempt.

After the founding of Lanfang, the Lanfang military department added "responsibility" and "mission" on the basis of "honor", these three points run through the whole education of the Lanfang army, it can be said that the current Lanfang soldiers, from the first day of joining the army, have been constantly receiving "honor", "responsibility", "mission" This aspect of indoctrination, so when the "slave trade" came out, it really made Wu Qing a little unable to turn around.

"Are you stupid to read? Our 'honor' emphasizes that in our country, when it comes to this place where birds don't, what 'honor' do you pay attention to? This is not the land of Lanfang now, we have no responsibility for the people here, can you figure it out? Huang Li was really worried.

The friendship between Wu Qing and Huang Li began during the French Foreign Legion, and the two of them are also old buddies, Huang Li knows very well that Wu Qing, who was born in an intellectual family, will make such a mistake every once in a while, and at this time someone needs to be the leader, and under normal circumstances, Huang Li is playing this role.

Today's situation is still different, Wu Qing obviously has his own bottom line, the "slave trade" matter is indeed beyond Wu Qing's bottom line, if Huang Li can't guide Wu Qing out of his emotions, then Huang Li will apply to the country for a replacement.

"Does honor still know national borders? The more you go to a strange place, the more you have to stick to your ethics, what is the difference between what we are doing now and those colonialists who we once gritted our teeth and hated? Wu Qing was also a little unscrupulous, and the meaning of the accusation was obvious.

"Lao Wu, you have to figure out one thing, our Lanfang is not yet the time to talk about face and pomp, although our life is good, but think about those compatriots in the Republic of China, they are still in dire straits, you have this mind to reflect on what we have done here, it is better to think about how to help more compatriots, these things, even if we don't do it, there will be people who do it, if you want to blame, blame those Malagasy people for being unlucky, who let them not have a strong central government!" Huang Li doesn't think there's anything wrong with what he did, the general environment is like this, Magnum and they are much more excessive than Huang Li and Wu Qing.

"What do you mean by that? Does the absence of a strong central government for Malagasy people justify Malagasy people being trafficked like pigs? If one day our Lanfang is in a predicament, and others also sell Lanfang people like pigs, what would you think? Wu Qing's eyes looking at Huang Li were really unfamiliar.

"It must be after I die!" Huang Li's answer was categorical, without the slightest hesitation: "As long as I still have a breath, no one wants to sell Lanfang people like pigs." ”

In fact, there was a time when Chinese people were also trafficked to the Americas like pigs, of course, Huang Li and Wu Qing did not know that history, otherwise it would have become a reason for Huang Li to be at ease, and it would also be a reason for Wu Qing to refute Huang Li.

"I'm not doubting your courage, I'm just doubting if what we're doing right is right, and if something is wrong, then why should we continue him?" Wu Qing felt a little curled up on the sofa, looking like an autistic person.

"You--it's not suitable to continue working now, go back to Lanfang, take a rest for Lanfang, maybe you'll find the answer." Huang Li was helpless, and he couldn't and couldn't watch Wu Qing get entangled like this.

"You, what do you mean?" Wu Qing's eyes widened in disbelief.

"That's what you think it means." Huang Li was reluctant in his eyes, but his tone was still resolute.

In fact, from the establishment of the Foreign Legion to the present, there are many people around Huang Li who can't keep up with the team, but their departure has not made Huang Li heartbroken this time without Wu Qing.

But there is no way, it is also a necessary process.
