When he heard the thrilling process of Yun Suixin seeing through the trafficker's injuries and still killing the two criminals, Li Xiangqian couldn't help but praise it twice.

"It's just that there are too few police professionals. At present, there is only one shelf in the police station, and those security officers can only take care of public security, and other criminal investigations, riot suppression, anti-terrorism, and anti-special forces are not at all. Yun Suixin also sighed at the troubles at work, "Fortunately, there are no major cases this month." ”

"We can only control one-third of the county now, and the rest of the city can't control at all. Moreover, China has always been a patriarchal society before liberation, the family law is greater than the national law, and the local gentry and patriarch are the soil emperors, holding the power of life and death. Even if there is a criminal case, they will handle it themselves in private, and they will not report it at all. In addition, in this era, information is blocked, and the channels for uploading and distributing are in the hands of those gentry, and without grassroots political power, there is no way to convey our policies and decrees. After this period of work, Xia Yusi, the former female court clerk who originally belonged to the female sling, and now the chief magistrate, has become more mature, and she expounds her views on the current social structure from her own professional aspect.

"There are at least a dozen towns in the county, one town and one police station, and at least five or six people in a police station. Yun Suixin, who is basically still the commander of the light pole, has already had a great idea of the future police work in the county, but it is a pity that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. "There are too few survivors who have police work experience, and some young people want to become police officers, but they have too little social experience and can't take charge on their own for half a year." In fact, Yun Suixin is only in his twenties, but he calls a young man who is only a few years younger than him a young man, which is a little funny.

In the final analysis, the most fundamental reason is that the population base of survivors is too small, and there is a shortage of all kinds of professionals, so that ordinary construction workers have to act as construction workers, and construction workers have to act as engineers, which can be regarded as small horses and carts. I can only hope that more survivors will join the construction of the new world in the future.

After a meal of pleasure for the guests and hosts, Li Shanglong and Li Xiangqian said goodbye to everyone and returned to the base by car. At this time, the sun had already set, and there were stars in the sky, Li Xiangqian looked up at the dazzling light ribbon that overflowed in the sky, and sighed: "It's so beautiful!" In the original world, only Tibet could see it in China, and I saw it in the countryside when I was a child, and I never saw it again when I grew up. ”

"Yes! There is no modern industry here, so there is no industrial pollution. Li Shanglong was also deeply touched, "When we start large-scale construction, maybe this place will become the same as the original world, and we will never see such a beautiful starry sky again." "Industrial development and environmental protection have always been contradictory and coexisting, and this is a problem that survivors have always faced. If you want to live in this new world, if you want to replicate the way of life of the original time and space, if you want not to be eaten by the weak and strong by the Western powers, you can only desperately develop industry to strengthen yourself, even if it will seriously damage the environment, you can't take care of it so much. Fortunately, there are many lessons to be learned, which can help survivors avoid detours and choose the one with the highest cost-effectiveness when choosing the industrial model.

Back at the base, the daily routine meeting was going on, and in order to show the sincerity of inviting the other party to join the group, Chairman Huang specially asked Li Xiangqian to attend the meeting. The content of the meeting was lackluster, nothing more than a report on the progress of the various works, and the British on the island of Hong Kong were honest and did not move for several days. Li Xiangqian saw that several female members of the management committee were very strong, and some of them were ridiculous, no matter when or where, beautiful women always have privileges.

After the meeting, Ma Angelica invited Li Xiangqian to inspect the prisoner camp with him, and the latter gladly accepted the invitation. The prisoner camp was next to the base, and most of the prisoners had already returned from work. Although the survivors have complete lighting equipment to ensure that the construction at night is no problem, considering that it is so close to Hong Kong, it is really difficult to catch it if the captives escape in the dark.

At the entrance of the camp was a small playground, where the captives usually gathered and received lectures, and a large group of captives were sitting around receiving sermons from the pastors.

Because the captives had to work during the day, sermons could only be carried out at night. After Davis left, Reverend Hopkins stayed behind and began his work of soothing the hearts of the soldiers. As for Colonel Ramsay and the others, they all ate and drank well every day, enjoyed a holiday-like life, and the Liberation Army even provided them with a set of cricket equipment, so that they were a little happy.

There was some opposition to Rep. Hopkins' work, but in the end, it was Nam In, an authority on psychology, who persuaded everyone. "In an unfamiliar, dangerous, and depressing environment, people will have all kinds of negative emotions, and if they are depressed to a certain extent, it will be like a time bomb that will explode at any time. The clergy's sermons and confessions soothe their emotions and dispel possible time bombs. Said a former female fitness trainer.

"If we try to be as kind as possible and respect their religious beliefs, we can get them to identify with us. And the UK's prolonged inaction will make them disappointed, and they may become 'Stockholm Syndrome' patients. So I support Minami's sister's opinion! Shen Xing stood up clearly to support Nanren, but his flattering behavior only attracted everyone's eyes.

Seeing a large group of Liberation Army officers enter, the captives sitting on the floor rose one after another, and Pastor Hopkins stopped preaching. Huang Fanding said kindly: "You go on!" Leave us alone! We're just looking around. That being said, the captives still stood there respectfully, probably because most of them did not understand Chinese.

Huang Fanding was about to beckon everyone to continue walking, when Pastor Hopkins suddenly spoke. "Chairman Huang, I would like to make a request to you." The pastor speaks Chinese, and after nearly ten years in China, he speaks both official and Cantonese fluently. It has only been a few days since he came here, and he basically knows all the high-ranking officials of the Liberation Army, although he does not know what the official position of the chairman is, but he can also guess from the word "lord" that the other party is a person who can call the shots.

"Oh? What are your requirements? Please speak! If I can do it, I will promise you. Huang Fanding will not be full of words, for fear that the other party will make rude requests.

"I hope you will allow us to build a chapel here and hold a requiem mass for the fallen soldiers." Pastor Hopkins spoke slowly, neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Huang Fanding thought about it, and communicated with the people around him with his eyes, but no one objected, so he promised: "I can agree to you this request." You take out the architectural design first, and I'll ask Camp Commander Luo to provide you with building materials. ”

"Thank you so much! May God bless you all! The priest drew a cross on his chest and bowed slightly.

Huang Fanding was stunned slightly, but he was stopped again when he turned around, which made him feel that it was a mistake to be too polite to the British? It's an inch! "If you have any other requirements, please say it once! Priest. There was already a hint of impatience in his tone.

Pastor Hopkins didn't seem to feel the other party's impatience, "This is not a request, but a request." I beg you to stop giving the Colonel all the luxuries they enjoy! lest they fall into the abyss of pleasure from which they cannot extricate themselves. ”

I'm afraid that I will fall into the abyss of "usury" and can't extricate myself, right? More than one survivor thought to himself. At this time, Liu Kuang, who had been accompanying the last seat, stood up and resolutely cracked down on anyone who tried to sabotage his business. "Pastor, this is a normal business practice, I don't think even your God should have the power to stop it!"

Reverend Hopkins was worried about the "usury" owed by the senior officers. In just a week, the two hundred pounds Davis had brought with him by the colonel, and some young officers who were shy of money had already been saddled with debts ranging from a dozen to a few dozen pounds. If this continues, the debt will snowball into a huge number, and the royal government will have to spend a large sum of money to redeem the officers. As for what the colonel said that the account can be written off when the Chinese are won, the priest disagrees with this idea. Through these few days of contact, the pastor has come to understand that these Chinese are neither arrogant nor ignorant. Since they dare to take credit, they are not afraid that they will not be able to collect it. "I don't think whiskey and cigars are a necessity for life, so please don't offer them to the officers." The pastor himself did not mind coarse tea and light meals, but he could not ask others to lower the standard of food, so he had to demand the abolition of what he considered a "luxury".

"Reverend, are you a Puritan?" Liu Kuang asked, and after receiving a negative answer from the other party, he retorted: "Since you are not a Puritan, then why do you ask others to live like Puritans?" ”

"It's a time of war, and it's out of place to be greedy for pleasure." Pastor Hopkins knew that this group of Chinese knew the Western world very well, and he could not deceive the other party by lying. So he simply spread it out and said. "You have tempted the officers to indulge in unbridled pleasures in order to wiper their will and to restrain their personal liberty with a huge debt, so as to blackmail the royal government. Although your strategy is very clever, are you not afraid of being clever and being mistaken by cleverness? ”

The survivors who heard the pastor's words all laughed, this foreign devil is still full of knowledge of the broad and profound Chinese culture! Liu Kuang smiled: "I want to hear how we are smart but are mistaken by cleverness?" ”

For a moment, the priest seemed to have been blessed by the holy light, and the caution he had when he first came was gone. "Aren't you afraid that the United Kingdom will win the war in the end, and all the chickens and eggs you have done will be beaten?" It's a threat, but it's also a temptation.

Ma Angelica took two steps forward, staring at Pastor Hopkins with blazing eyes, who did not retreat under the former's forced gaze. "No wonder those officers didn't care about the credit, it turned out to be the idea, but unfortunately their calculations were wrong. If the British government continues to expand the scale of the conflict, they will be indebted more and more. If they are unable to repay by then, we will ask the Minister of Bao Ling, the Count of Elgin, and your royal government. Ma Angelica's words were for tat.

Although the surrounding British captives couldn't understand what they were saying, it was not good to argue in front of the public, so Huang Fanding hurriedly came out to play a round. "Pastor Hopkins, you're really thinking too much. We sold those daily necessities to the captured officers out of complete humanitarianism, and there was absolutely no conspiracy. "Actually, we just want to dispose of some of the food that is about to expire," Chairman Huang said in his heart, which is also the voice of all members of the Ministry of Commerce." If you feel that this is out of place, you can raise it with Colonel Ramsay, and not ask us in reverse. ”

"But it is immoral for you to tempt them to indulge in pleasure." Unable to move from conspiracy theories to blame each other, the pastor turns the issue to the moral level.

"Joke! It is immoral for us to sell alcohol and tobacco to lure them to have fun. Then what is it that you British sell opium to the Chinese and lure the Chinese to take drugs? The Qing government didn't let you sell, so what did the British government do? Liu Kuang was able to connect two unrelated things together, and he could justify himself, which made the people around him breathtaking.

"That's a counterattack to the Beijing government's disruption of normal business activities." Although he did not like opium and the opium trade, the priest also had to defend the British government.

"Our sale of tobacco and alcohol is also a normal business activity, and you have no right to interfere with it." Liu Kuang said contemptuously, and at the same time added in his heart, you can't interfere anyway.

Pastor Hopkins today is a master of what it means to be trained by the major BBSs in the 21st century, and he doesn't know that there are places in another world where all kinds of trolls like Tianya and Baidu gather. The Chinese, who he had always thought were intellectually inferior, were speechless, so that he couldn't react for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
