Chapter 392: The Whaling Culture of the Han and Tang Groups (15)
Two hours later, Stationmaster Hu Jingge came out of heaven and earth and returned to Quanzhou Commercial Station alone.
Quanzhou is also quite prosperous at night, and it may not be as bright as Taiwan, but the number of shops is much more than it.
Under the dim light, there are people coming and going.
Stationmaster Hu Jingge can't leave the Quanzhou Commercial Station now, and he is alone outside to make a gold house to hide Jiaojiao or something.
He is not the head of Su Bo and his friends, he has no way to live in a large courtyard with anyone, and the safest place at present is the Quanzhou Merchant Station.
Of course, if he really lived outside, Dingyuan Marquis Zheng Lianming would also send personnel to protect him secretly, but in that case, it would make people sleep unsteadily.
It's better to go back to Quanzhou Commercial Station to sleep, close the doors and windows, and they are all their own security guards, which is reassuring.
The security of the trading station has long been specially tested. With only five people defending, fifty people would not be able to attack in three hours with the current conditions of time and space.
After stationmaster Hu Jingge returned to the Quanzhou commercial station, he found that Fan Ran, the head of the intelligence department of the Hantang Group, was waiting for him in his office.
Stationmaster Hu Jingge suddenly felt a numb back, maybe he did that more often tonight.
Stationmaster Hu Jingge's face was impassive, and he said very enthusiastically: "Why didn't Minister Fan inform me earlier when he came to Quanzhou, and my brother would pick you upβ"
Minister Fan smiled faintly and said, "What's the notice, it's all for work, I'm just staying here for the night." β
"Okay, there's a spare room here, and there's a new luggage, which I've carefully prepared for my friends who come and go."
Stationmaster Hu Jingge diligently led Minister Fan to find a room and help him clean up.
In fact, he doesn't need to do anything, the waiters in the Quanzhou commercial station have to clean it every day.
But the key to helping is a matter of attitude, and enthusiasm is more important than anything else to make the other person feel that you are care.
Although the intelligence department of the Hantang Group is not responsible for internal affairs, only externally, and internally and externally, it does not have the right to take any action, intelligence, just intelligence.
However, the edge of communication between internal and external intelligence is gray, and it must not be very strict, and intelligence information is a thing that brings out its own affairs without knowing where it is.
Minister Fan is very grateful for the help of Mr. Hu Jingge.
The two sat and chatted for a while, without pain, smoked a cigarette together, drank a bottle of cold soda, and said goodbye to each other.
Stationmaster Hu Jingge thought to himself, he shouldn't know my situation, and he didn't mention it.
The minister carefully checked the room before going to bed, and there was nothing wrong. Before going to bed, he thought that this kid was enough to enjoy in Quanzhou, and he specially got a girl and cultivated it himself.
Minister Fan had come to Quanzhou with a simple goal: to select the right Islamic children, and it would be even more perfect if he could pick black children.
There are still some black slaves in the Quanzhou area.
As mentioned before, from the Tang Dynasty, there were blacks in the Ming Continent.
In fact, as early as the Shang Dynasty, there were legends of activities similar to those of blacks or whites, which for various reasons were unnoticeable - this will be mentioned quite a long time later, because it involved something in Egypt, and the Han and Tang groups intended to take this issue seriously at that time.
In the beginning, these blacks were all called Kunlun slaves. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming people could completely distinguish whether they were from Africa or Southeast Asia.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, black Africans, who were physically fit for servitude, began to become more common. These blacks were pure and obedient, serving as slaves and mercenaries in Macao or on ships, and were so popular with the Portuguese colonists that they could often be purchased for more than 50 taels of silver per person.
This trend of slavery was also introduced to the Ming Dynasty gentry in Guangzhou, and Qu Dajun's "Cantonese New Language" at the end of the Ming Dynasty contained, "When Yu Guangsheng, the giant rooms bought more blacks to guard the household, called ghost slaves, and a black little girl." β
During the war in Guangdong, many merchants moved to various places with slaves, and some of them came to Taiwan.
The exemplary minister used technical means, once observed one by one, and thought that they were not too suitable, these are all tame for a long time, several generations, have long forgotten their hometown - what he wants is that only one generation has passed, the legend of his hometown can still be heard from his parents, and at the same time, he is a little more humanized, and he can still know some of the native language of his hometown - of course, this standard is lazy, and he does not want to spend a lot of effort to cultivate, so it is difficult to find.
In addition to his part-time job, Minister Paradigm devotes almost all of his life to the training of foreign intelligence personnel.
He did so because he genuinely enjoyed teaching a few of his hand-picked staff.
He wears a red satin waistcoat, a linen-cotton blend shirt and breeches, mid-rise deerskin boots, and a rattan whip tucked between his arms. This set is his own design, his own special teaching clothing.
In one of his small classrooms, he said to white cadets, large and small:
"You are really lucky, believe me, decades later, when you are old, when you sit in a rocking chair, shake and shake, you have to believe that the intelligence department of this Hantang Group will always be the protector of his staff!"
There was silence in the small classroom, and the minister walked back and forth in the small classroom with his hands gently bent the rattan horsewhip, and he listened to his footsteps with satisfaction, and said softly:
"Why? Because Hantang Group is too obsessed with basic common sense, it believes that if you pay, you will get a corresponding and reasonable return, and there is no specific problem here to analyze specifically; It believes that if you sign a contract, both parties will abide by the requirements of this contract, and there is nothing here that is a matter of movement and development, even if you pull the banner of patriotism, it is useless, because in this beautiful time and space, no one can let others know only part of the truth.
So with these two things, you should never be afraid! We are not afraid of even evil nationsβ"
Out of the corner of his eye, Minister Paradigm noticed Claire's movements, and he said, "Cadet Claire, what's your problem?" β
The Collais cadet was a little nervous, and he stammered, "I can give my life to God, and I trust Him to protect me." β
The minister nodded and said, "Are you sure you have a contract with God?" β
"I'm sure!"
"Are you sure you received God's signature?"
"-I'm mentally-"
The exemplary minister said appreciatively: "Good! The intelligence department of the Hantang Group will ensure that you have a spiritual contract with God, but the contract of your work belongs to us, do you have any objections to this matter? β
"Nope! Minister Fan! β
"Student Gauss, what do you think of the covenant with God?"
The Gauss cadet immediately stood up and replied earnestly: "God has made us obey the rules of human justice!" β
"That's right! This is exactly what our Hantang Group vigorously advocates - the regulations we formulate, even we abide by ourselves - this is called invincible! β
The minister looked at the watch on the wall and felt that the time was almost up, so he said, "This is the end of today's class, it's time for lunch!" I'll give you a choice - will we eat whale steak together at noon, or braised pork? β
Cruyt and Ronnie started knocking on the table, one saying they wanted whale steak and the other saying they wanted braised pork. Gauss and Claire smiled silently, Minister Fan arranged the daily recipes in advance, where it can be changed temporarily, this is the regulation of the Intelligence Department of the Hantang Group.
Minister Fan also smiled, put his hands behind his back, bent down and said to the little girl, "Our little princess has not spoken yet." Tell me, what do you choose? β
The little girl, Si Li, jumped off the chair, leaned on the table, looked up at Minister Fan's gentle smiling face and said, "I listen to the choice given to me by Minister Fan, I believe that it will be better for me!" β
The minister smiled more gently, and said, "My choice for you is: whale steak and braised pork!" β
"Oh, you said it earlier!"
The small classroom was lively.
Minister Fan said word by word: "Therefore, you have to believe that the choice made by the intelligence department of the Hantang Group is likely to be better than the one you choose." Okay, after class, let's go to our cafeteria for lunch. Gauss students, you stay. β
Gauss was a little nervous, and he knew that he was about to start the mission.
Minister Fan smiled at the time and said, "Don't be nervous, my intelligence officer, you can memorize the intelligence officer work of the Hantang Group now-"
The Gauss trainee calmed down all of a sudden, and recited and said: "Collect all kinds of information disclosed by the other party, pay attention to their newspapers, pay attention to some unusual changes in their actions, communicate openly with important people related to the other party, obtain information related to their work from the other party's speech, pay attention to the prices of the market and people's public discussions--pay attention to the preferences of their upper echelons-"
"And what kind of public figures they admire."
The minister carefully added, and said: "In the next step, after you have learned how to disseminate information and intelligence, and then you may go to Paris, and work there for a while, and after three years, your wife and children may be sent to you, you see, is this kind of intelligence work life-threatening?" β
Gauss students said happily: "I am sincerely willing to work for Hantang Group!" β
"Of course, I am also willing, we are all working for Hantang Group! I gave you a few days off, went to Akachi to reunite with your family for a few days, and came back on time in ten days to report! β
Minister Paradigm gave him some tickets and personally delivered him to the door.
The Paradigm Minister will soon be gluing his first spider silk to a point in the world.
What about later? He will lay one or several chess pieces in every big city in the world, or one day, he will pull a spider silk in every town where there are more than 10,000 people in the world, and let that information flow to his table, and he will be the giant spider!
Of course, this information is all to serve the Hantang Group.
Before weaving his own big cobweb, he still has to build a structure one by one, and for him, this process has a joy that others cannot understand.
In fact, he arrived in Quanzhou at noon.
He first went to an unknown rice noodle shop in Quanzhou to eat a bowl of rice noodles, which was very much in line with his dress as a small merchant of the Ming Dynasty.
The owner of the rice noodle shop gave him a piece of information. He learned that the Tartars of Fuzhou had recently sent troops to harass the marginal villages of the Quanzhou region; Dingyuan Marquis Zhenglian resolutely counterattacked, but did not penetrate deep into the Fuzhou area; There were as many as three batches of merchant ships from Batavia, only one less than the Wa kingdom - and there were other small things.
Then he went to the human market again, and felt that the afternoon batch was not good, and decided to wait until tomorrow morning to take a look.
Before going to sleep, Minister Fan reviewed the information in his heart, put it down, and waited for a little analysis after returning to Taiwan.
