The banquet was a complete success, with all the planned goals being achieved and even better than expected.

In terms of communication with the locals, the sugar-coated cannonballs really worked, and the rich households, who were originally just perfunctory, changed their normal behavior after seeing the gifts and became very attentive - those who do business want to get a quota for selling white sugar from Xie Xie, and those who have small workshops at home are extremely interested in the subcontracting processing model proposed by Zhang Yu. Even those who don't know how to farm anything, Wu Nanhai also painted a very good prospect for them - planting sugarcane on a large scale and then selling it to this side as raw materials is much more profitable than growing grain.

Cheng Yegao, Li Changqian and others unanimously decided to join the newly established "Qionghai Trading Company", using the connections and power in their hands as capital to make a fortune together with Shorthair. Originally, it was absolutely not allowed for Ming officials to do business directly, and Cheng Daxian Ling had always looked down on businessmen. But after listening to Wen Desi's analysis of the profits that the trading company can make by selling sugar in the next few years, Master Cheng still joined this organization without hesitation-

For the sake of 300 percent profit, you can take the risk of hanging your head, and it is not only businessmen who have such courage.

Not only the two of them, but even Yan Dusi, who came from Qiongzhou Mansion to coincide with his meeting, was extremely envious, and asked shyly if he could join the gang. Of course, the short-haired people who took the initiative to send it to the door would not refuse, and Xie Xi clearly told him - as long as he was useful to this small group, he could get the corresponding benefits.

As for the specific role it can play, it depends on his own efforts. This Ming army commander named Yan Wenchang has no other strengths, but he is familiar. He has served in Qiongzhou Mansion for more than 20 years and knows the local situation well, so he can be regarded as an old local snake. This kind of person is not in a high position, and his energy is not small, and he is the kind of "talent" that the crossing crowd needs most.

Lao Yan was alone when he came to high school. Carrying a large burden of writing and gifts, he went back empty-handed, but he had two more carts behind him—and he was given a lot of things. asked him to go back to Qiongzhou Mansion to find someone to take care of, and had to hire two cars for him for this purpose.

It's nothing more than some sugar and salt, which seems to be a small investment, even if you lose it all, it's nothing, but if you're lucky, you might be able to make a big difference.

Another achievement of the banquet was brought up by Pang Yu: he thought that he had found the psychological flaw of Miss Anna. The time is almost ripe for formal negotiations with her.

However, this idea was questioned as soon as it was put forward at the internal meeting that night, and several people directly questioned him: Why should he be so good to this Western woman?

"She's just a captive, and the Dutch crew of the original gang also flew the white flag, but we didn't even give us a chance to surrender, so why should she be able to blend in with us and continue to enjoy all kinds of privileges? I don't understand, is this foreign girl's aristocratic status of any use to us modern people? ”

There are obviously more than one or two people who think this way. And the little guy Ye Mengyan was pushed out to act as a spokesperson. Pang Yu looked at this stunned young man with some pity—this little fool. He was used as a gun again.

He looked around. There were a lot of people attending the meeting. It was almost a plenary session - although fifteen were elected to represent the local committee. But the so-called "committee meetings" have always been open to all. Anyone who wants to. can participate in such meetings and express their opinions. The elections themselves do not deprive everyone of the right to participate in collective affairs. Meeting. Discuss the problem and come up with a solution. It was an obligation for those fifteen members. And to others. But it is their sacred and inalienable right.

"Then if you want it to be. What do you want to do with her? ”

Pang Yu looked at each other with a smile. And Ye Mengyan's answer was not surprisingly stupid:

"Tell me. Or they will divide it among the brothers. Or you'll be shot and you'll be killed. Save yourself any more trouble. We want to stand up in front of all the natives: willing to cooperate with us. You can be treated well. Or even get ahead. Reluctantly cooperatively. You are the emperor Lao Tzu. Also scum in front of us! ”

Xiao Ye shouted murderously. In the meantime noticed Jack. Henderson's angry gaze. Cringe. But soon he got the courage to do it again:

"Damn, I'm out today! Don't look at me like that, Jack - Pang Yu, you said that we still have the same laws as before, right? But what about the foreign girl? She is not necessarily protected by the laws of the People's Republic of China, is she? If I go to Japan...... Kill her, or break her leg, according to our internal regulations, how to judge? ”

Very blatant shouting, this kid seems to have drunk a lot during the day, and the wine is intimidating. Fortunately, there was not even a single woman in the meeting room tonight - Hu Wen had an upset stomach and asked for sick leave to rest, while the other girls had never been interested in this kind of meeting and rarely came to the meeting place, otherwise the spit of a gang of women would probably drown him to death.

Pang Yu didn't directly answer Ye Mengyan's stupid question, but looked at Jack next to him, who was about to explode:

"Hey, man, this kid wants to rape your girlfriend, what are you going to do with him?"

"I'm going to smash his head."

Jack said coldly, but there was no anger in his tone, but a coldness, it could be seen that this old beauty usually laughed and laughed, and when she was serious, she would definitely do what she said.

"What the are you arrogant, it's all Chinese here!"

Ye Mengyan jumped up and shouted, but after making trouble for a long time, he found that no one responded to him, and everyone around him was looking at him with a clown-like look.

"Are you forcing us to make a choice? Choosing between a double Ph.D., a former regular soldier, and one of only two good doctors on the team, and a stupid student who hasn't even graduated from high school? ”

Tang Jian said coldly, Ye Mengyan was most afraid of him, and his face turned white all of a sudden:

"Captain Tang...... He's a foreigner...... If you are not of my race, your heart ...... What's that? ”

"Jack is our own, and so are you—but now it's you who has the problem, not him, who do you think we should choose?"

Xie Xi also stood up with a blushing face, he had a lot of big things to discuss in the meeting tonight, but this kid jumped out and made a fuss, and his heart was full of fire. If he hadn't been pulled by Pang Yu, he would have jumped over and beat him.

"Forget it, Lao Jie, he must be the only one who has this kind of thought, and it hasn't been a day or two since he accumulated, and it won't necessarily be a bad thing to just break out tonight."

Pang Yu finally grabbed the dismissal, and at the same time looked back at Ye Mengyan and the stunned young men around him with the same expression.

"Murder, rape...... This is not modern society. Whether it's the police or the army...... The original deterrent power is gone, and there is no need to obey the rules of modern society. Anyway, we have guns in our hands, and we can do whatever we want - that's what you think. ”

A few people over there opened their mouths, as if trying to argue something, but in the end they didn't speak. Pang Yu waited patiently for them, and waited until they had nothing to say before continuing to speak:

"But didn't you ever realize it? Rules, on the one hand, are to restrain your behavior, but more importantly, they are to protect you. You can do whatever you want and hurt people wantonly, why can't they do that? - Don't be unconvinced, just rely on the intelligence and judgment of you little rabbits, if you really don't have the protection of the rules, you will die the fastest! ”

"I ...... I'm definitely better than you guys who talk all day! ”

Ye Mengyan jumped up with red ears and red ears, and actually wanted to touch the gun, but was dragged by Wang Haiyang, who was staring at him next to him, and slapped him twice.

"It's against you! Just a few days of training and want to turn the sky upside down? ”

"Brother Wang......"

The stunned drunkenness seemed to have been woken up, and he covered his cheeks and cried.

"That's right, maybe you're better than me in battle now, but when it comes to a real conflict, you'll definitely lose."

Pang Yu's arm waved around, surrounding everyone:

"Because you're not up against one person, you're fighting against a group, a group of people who are willing to be bound by the rules, and at the same time protected by those rules. Everyone has their own strengths, and everyone plays to their strengths in the group...... You see, without my hands, Haiyang will clean you up. ”

With a long sigh, Pang Yu looked at the dark sky outside the door:

"The end of the Ming Dynasty was a time of turmoil, and there were no rules in the troubled times – but again, there were no rules to protect us. If we want to survive in this era, we can only form a group and confront those powerful forces. A group of people necessarily constitutes society, and the rules prevailing in society for dealing with each other are the so-called moral and legal ......"

After a slight pause, Pang Yu made a declaration slowly, but with great firmness:

"Brothers, we are ahead of this society not only in science and technology, but also in humanistic ideas - our forms of social organization; our ways of thinking and values of looking at the world; Our ability to deal with each other, including our contradictions, is far ahead of this era, and this is civilization - we are the most advanced civilization of this age! "Nonsense, poor Xiaoye, has been targeted again......
