Chapter 91: Jin Yiwei (2)
In He Xi's imagination, he didn't expect to be able to meet his peers in this time and space so soon, which made him feel excited and regretful.
Like Qiu Yuan, most of the people who traveled through the crowd only learned about Jinyiwei from later film and television works or online novels, which were embellished by countless people, and the dramatic information often made people only pay attention to the ferocity, viciousness and unscrupulousness of Jinyiwei, but ignored its essence as a secret service organization and secret police agency.
He Xi's employment experience before the crossing made him have a very clear understanding of the factory guard system, peers are enemies, He Xi's subconscious has already regarded the factory guard as his opponent, and he is sure that there will be a day when he will fight with him, and he has been making preparations for this in all aspects. He Xi is sure that the espionage team established by his professional ability will far surpass the ability of Jinyiwei, who has made his reputation greater than his strength by acting flamboyantly. But at the moment, all of them are just starting, and the powerful spy agency designed by He Xi is only in his mind, no matter how you look at it, now is definitely not a good time to fight with Jinyiwei.
Although the sudden appearance of Jin Yiwei disturbed this errand that was originally quite smooth, everyone soon recovered, after all, there were more important things waiting for them to do. He Xi negotiated with the dental business yesterday to start recruiting a large number of people, and the market was already overcrowded at this time, and it was a good time to open.
"Dear folks, the existing overseas merchants have recruited a large number of people to open up wasteland in a port in the east, and the treatment is to be paid separately for food, shelter and treatment, and only three days will be recruited, and those who are willing to go will sign up here!" The tooth merchant was bent on getting back the lost two coins of silver, and stood on the bench and began to make propaganda hoarsely.
"Didn't you say a good long-term recruitment yesterday?" Zhang Guang said in amazement.
"It's a propaganda ploy! How can you show a sense of urgency if you don't say that? He Xi hugged his arms with interest to watch the tooth merchant's performance: "In the past, those who engaged in bankruptcy and fire sales were not the same as shouting the slogan of 'last day' for many years, but in the end, I couldn't swallow that breath." ”
As soon as the tooth dealer made a publicity, many people rushed up to ask for specific details, and the tooth dealer explained one by one according to the content explained by the working group in advance. Seeing that there were more and more crowds gathered in front of the tooth merchants, Marik hurriedly sent the rich and noble two people over to help the tooth merchants maintain order. Those who are willing to go will register with the tooth dealer and receive a marked bamboo chip, which will be used tomorrow to board the ship on the seashore outside Nanshan Town. (.)
Zhao Xiaoruo was puzzled: "Why do you want to send a bamboo chip? Aren't we going to have as many people as we have now?"
"That's the management tool. Mariko explained to her: "First, it is convenient to count the number of people, one bamboo chip per person, so that we can inform the base camp to prepare the ship. Second, like the time limit, this is also a sense of urgency for applicants, there are only dozens of bamboo chips every day, and there will be no quota after receiving them. Thirdly, the labor fee of the dental bank is calculated on a per capita basis, and the bamboo chips paid by the migrant workers when they board the ship are the proof of our settlement of expenses with the dental bank. ”
Zhao Xiaoruo nodded suddenly and said, "I see." But in this way, will someone use their crooked brains to collude with the tooth business, and let these people escape back privately after sending people over?"
"This kind of trick can only be played once at most, and at most it can earn us a few taels of silver, and if we catch it, it will be the life of the labor camp!" Mu Xiabai said fiercely: "I don't think anyone will have to live with their lives for that little silver!"
Zhao Xiaoruo stuck out his tongue and didn't continue. She also knew that there were some ruthless characters in the military and police department, and these people's views on human life were probably very different from those of her, a medical worker.
As the day is getting higher, the queue of applicants is getting longer and longer, and it seems that the number of recruits today is likely to exceed the 100 people expected by the working group in advance.
"If you can recruit a hundred people a day, it's two or three thousand people a month!" Feng Anan said excitedly as he looked at the lively scene in front of him.
"There won't be so many people. He Xi poured a basin of cold water on him mercilessly: "Today just coincides with the polder market, so there are more people." My optimistic estimate is that 1,500 people a month would be very good. ”
"There is still a little more than half a year left this year, and it seems that it will be difficult to achieve the executive committee's target of 30,000 people by the end of the year!" Qiu Yuan sighed.
"Not necessarily. Marik shook his head and said, "If we only think of a way from Yazhou, we won't be able to get together 30,000 people anyway." Hainan Island is so big, with a population of more than 200,000, we can't just focus on Yazhou, Danzhou, Wanzhou, and Qiongzhou are our targets. Yesterday, Lao He also said that he had negotiated with the dental business, so that the dental agency would collect migrant labor on the whole island, and when our Haihan brand was slowly launched, the scale and speed of the introduction of immigrants would naturally be raised. ”
"Let's go, let's go have lunch first. Seeing that the time was about the same, Marik beckoned everyone to retreat, and the servant market was progressing smoothly, so it was only necessary to leave the rich and noble to keep an eye on.
Because the south city gate is adjacent to Nanshan Town, and it is the only way to come to Yazhou from Tianya, Phoenix and other places, there are many small restaurants inside and outside the city gate. Everyone randomly picked a storefront, which looked relatively clean and refreshing, but probably forgot to look at the yellow calendar before going out today, and after entering, everyone found that the situation was not good, and the group of brocade guards who came to the servant market just now occupied two tables in the restaurant to eat.
At this time, it was obviously too eye-catching to withdraw again, He Xi lowered his voice and said, "Don't care, everyone sit down first." ”
After the group of seven people sat down, they ordered a few dishes at random, and they all closed their mouths very tacitly. And the brocade guard over there just glanced at them, and continued to eat and chat, and didn't seem to take them seriously. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, although everyone is not afraid of these Ming spies, but it is better not to provoke trouble as much as possible.
But there are some things that you can't dodge if you want to, and the general banner surnamed Gong quickly stood up and walked to their table, and said in a deep voice: "I saw that you were very angry in the polder market in the morning, and you must not be from Yazhou. I don't know where you come from, and what are you doing in Yazhou?"
Everyone exchanged glances, and finally He Xi got up and responded: "My lord, we are merchants from overseas, and we have come to Yazhou to do some small business. ”
"Overseas merchants?" Gong Zongqi looked at a few people again, nodded and said, "You are the Haihan people who have been spreading all the rage recently. ”
He Xi was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "I don't know what advice the adults have?"
"I heard that the glasses and bowls of 'An Fu Xing' and 'Fu Ruifeng' in the city, as well as the kind of silver mirrors that can illuminate people very clearly, are all sold by you?" asked Gong Zongqi seemingly casually.
He Xi heard the song and knew what he meant, and immediately said: "I heard that the hundred households in Qiongzhou Mansion have moved to a new house, and we are willing to offer four sets of glasses and bowls, two five-inch silver mirrors, and ask the adults to congratulate them on their behalf." ”
"You can be a man. What is your surname?" a smile appeared at the corner of Gong Zongqi's mouth. How much these things are worth, Gong Zongqi has a rough number in his heart, and He Xi sent several sets out without hesitation, and the shot was very generous, so that Gong Zongqi, who originally wanted to find an excuse to knock on a penny, had no reason.
"Don't let your surname be Xi. ”
"Shopkeeper He is so good at doing business, then I wish you a wide range of wealth in Yazhou!" Gong Zongqi was obviously very satisfied with He Xi's respectful attitude, which made him completely dispel the idea of finding fault.
"Thank you, sir. When I got back, I sent something to the yamen. He Xi had a harmless smile on his face, and seemed very satisfied with such a result.
When the two tables of brocade guards finished eating and left, He Xi got up again and rushed to pay the bill, and the Gong Zongqi left with a smile when he went out, and it seemed that he was in a good mood.
But when He Xi returned to the table and sat down, his face was as black as carbon: "It seems that we can't pretend to be low-key, and we haven't dodged even a thousand times, but we are still noticed." ”
"It's still Lao He's acting skills, just take something and fool this group of dogs. Zhang Guang comforted kindly. He could also see that the confrontation just now made He Xi very aggrieved, after all, it was never a happy thing to deal with this kind of blatant blackmail.
"Looking for a chance to this guy?" Feng Anan was also a restless master, and his face was already red.
"No, I can't. Mu Xiabai, who was more old-fashioned, immediately objected: "The danger of attacking Yazhou City is too great, and if you don't do it, it will implicate the entire working group." ”
"How about finding a night to knock out and put it in a sack, and the next day just drag it out and sink into the sea?" Qiu Yuan also helped with a bad idea, obviously deeply poisoned by Hong Kong-made underworld films.
"You don't have to fight, I will not agree to any solution by force. Marik shook his head and said, "I don't think Lao He will agree." ”
"Lao Ma is right, this surnamed Gong can't move now. He Xi quickly recovered his senses from the anger just now: "Judging from what we have observed today, this guy is obviously a person who is accustomed to using power for personal gain and embezzling property. As long as we are willing to spend a little money, it shouldn't be difficult to buy him, it's just a groveling play. But if we kill him, if his boss sends another person who is smarter than him to Yazhou, will it be a good thing for us? The lesser of two evils, and keeping this Gong Zongqi may not be a good thing for our actions in Yazhou. ”
