Kecheng knew that Dongnong Temple was very large. [Read the latest chapter] But when I heard that two hundred taels were given as a gift, I said "Zhentiao" and said quickly:
“Too expensive”
"If a life is lost, why waste money?" Guo Yidao: "This matter has to be troubled by shopkeeper Sun. Also, if the captain's injury is not serious, call him and the bodyguard together and arrange a place to talk!" He thought After a pause, "Choose a few more sailors to come over and answer the question together!"
"Yes. I'll do it right away!" Sun Kecheng immediately agreed, "I wonder where Dongzhu Guo is meeting?
? "
"Ask questions in the escort office. Right away." Guo Yi originally wanted to go directly to Gaoguang Inn, but he thought there were too many people there and it was not the place to ask questions.
After half an hour, everyone arrived. Guo Yi personally asked the ship's boss, bodyguard and sailors. Knowing that five or six small sailing boats were ambushing the Guang Bing on the beach, they jumped in to attack the larger number and were quickly controlled by the boat. But the other side seemed to have left a lot of leeway. They didn't kill many people or take away the boats. They only loaded the sugar onto a few boats and took them away.
According to the injured escort, there should not be many pirates coming. The people in the "big gang" should be small independent entrepreneurs. Temporarily join forces to do ticket trading.
"What's the accent of this person?"
"Reporting to the proprietor: They all have local accents in Leizhou, and they should be local gangsters."
So to say. There is a high possibility that this matter was instigated by Hai Yitang. Guo Yi nodded: "You guys take a good rest. I'll pay for all the expenses."
Out of the escort agency. He quickly got on the sedan and ordered: "Go back to Huifu Street!" He figured that he would immediately call the South China Factory and Lingao to inform them. I'm afraid this matter is not a simple robbery at sea. Although the form is not completely clear now, the other party's actions are extremely targeted. The matter of transporting sugar must be slowed down first. This involves how the Lingao Executive Committee is prepared to deal with threats at sea.
The telegram from Guangzhou was nothing less than a blow to Wen Tong and others. The contents of the telegram were both joyful and distressing. What was joyful was that Guangzhou clearly informed that there was no problem with the required silver, and Huanan just needed to be brave enough to purchase it; what was worrying was that the sugar ship was robbed and not only was it short of five hundred stones of sugar. The problem also shows that Hai Yitang has begun to move into a stage where illegal means are clearly used to deal with them.
The most feared thing in the world is that the fish will die and the net will be broken, and the dog will jump over the wall. Haiyi Tang has nothing to do now. If the delay continues, the chance of winning is getting smaller and smaller, and the possibility of resorting to such shameful means will become more and more likely.
.
How to deal with it is a difficult problem. Was hesitating. Wenxiu came in and announced: "Shopkeeper Liao is here."
"Which shopkeeper Liao?"
"It's shopkeeper Liao Da."
That is the powerful Liao Dahua. He quickly said: "Please!"
The news brought by Liao Dahua was even worse. He said that the escorts had found out clearly that the sugar workers in Xuwen County, including some of the sugar workers in Haikang, had all been connected in recent days and were preparing to go to the Monk Temple in three days. Burn incense and swear an oath. To eradicate the "demon weapon" in the South China Factory, "exhaust the old methods"
This was simply a slap in the face. Wen Tong almost lost his temper and tried to grab the sugar boat. This time, Qian Jian was ready to come and destroy the factory!
"This. Old Liao, can you please ask the government to come forward to suppress this?" We have seen the power of the Yamen last time. If the yamen is willing to send some people to suppress it, the workers may not dare to cause trouble.
"The big boss in the county is eager to cause trouble and file a lawsuit so that he can collect money from both ends." Liao Dahua warned, "The sugar workers also have their say. After all, they are ruining other people's jobs.
The situation outside is fierce now, and South China is likely to suffer a big loss if there is a commotion. In the end, we won the lawsuit, but those workers were completely destitute, so what would it do to cut off a few heads? "
"Yes. Yes. That's what you said." We all know that counting on the government in this time and space is basically an illusion.
.
"For today's plan, it is better to make plans early." The so-called plan early is actually to prepare an escape routine. Liao Dahua whispered that he had arranged a yard in Xuwen County and asked them to flee directly into the county if anything happened.
"When you enter the county town, the rebels will never dare to chase you in easily. Otherwise, they will rebel. The shopkeeper can rest assured." Liao Dahua patted his chest, "As long as you are in the city, you can guarantee everyone's safety by using your power."
Wen Tong hesitated and said: "That's not true. Do they dare to kill people?" Besides, the machinery and equipment in the factory and the amount of sugar can never be left alone, otherwise how will the factory be handed over to the executive committee in the future?
?
"It's hard to guarantee," Liao Dahua said with a solemn expression, "Some people are buying "substitutes" recently! The price is eight hundred taels a piece. "
"substitute?"
Dahua nodded. He explained that the government would not care about any civil riots or armed fights on the spot, but those who were injured afterwards would have to pay compensation, and those who died would have to pay with their lives. In order to allow the subordinates to work without any scruples, the people in the organization will always buy a "stand-in" in advance. When the government investigates, the stand-in will surrender to the police. One life will save the other, and the matter will be over.
.
Since someone is buying a substitute, it means that the organizers of this riot are prepared to kill people. Wen Tong suddenly panicked. After all, he was just a sugar factory technician. He originally thought that the crossing group was backing him, and there was a powerful local escort agency as a guarantee to hand over to the government. He is considered a well-known big shot in Xuwen and even Leizhou. It's within the Crossing Group. Recently, Lingao and Guangzhou have been operating around South China. I feel that I have a bit of a "domineering spirit". This time my opponent is going to use a knife or a gun. Then I think that I am alone here. The only people who can be relied on are the people from Qiwei Escort Bureau and A few pistols, if a mob really came to charge in, Wen Desi and Ma Qianzhu would not be able to immediately send an army over to save their lives even if they boasted about it.
I can't help but feel timid: It seems that shopkeeper Liao is right, we need to prepare an escape route. Didn't Mr. Wen tell us before: "Only survival is the highest." "
Although I had made up my mind like this, I thought that I was already thinking about escaping before the incident happened, which was a bit too timid. If anyone found out, I would be a big laughing stock in the future. Then he pretended to be calm and said:
"No problem. Let's discuss it first. This South China Factory is a big family business and we can't let it be ruined for no reason."
Immediately, people were invited to invite Mou Tianxiong, Mei Lin, Xiao Gui and others. Liao Daxing is taking care of the business in front, so I won't call him. At present, there must be someone in the store to take charge of the situation.
"Shopkeeper Bei is here, do you want to invite him?" Wenxiu asked in a low voice.
"He's back?" Wen Tong felt relieved! With such a special force, the sense of security is greatly increased. "Please, of course I have to ask."
Sister Bei, the first and senior staff officers came back from their trip and rested in Tangxing. They also heard about Master Zuiyi... They were not sure, so they originally planned to come and talk together in the evening.
After listening to Liao Dahua explain everything, Tong Wen said: "This is how to deal with this matter? Haiyitang made two harsh moves in a row. It seems that they are not prepared to compete fairly with us."
Everyone was concentrating and holding their breath, and no one spoke. This matter was of great importance. About the survival of South China. Needless to say, if South China is really destroyed in their hands, at least the impression of being "unbearable" will be left to everyone in the Cross-Travel Group from now on. From now on, there is no need to think about taking charge of administrative duties alone, and we can only be honest. Really be a technician for life.
After a long time, Mou Tianxiong said: "When things have reached this point, we have to prepare for the worst. First, what if the other party comes knocking on our door? Do we have the ability to save the factory and goods? Second, if we can't stop them, Can we ensure the safety of ourselves and our men?
Xiao Gui said: "Actually, if we really want to fight, we may not necessarily be our opponents. Anyway, there are more than a hundred men in the sugar factory, and they have also organized a militia team to train, and there are also some bodyguards. It will be no problem to resist it, right? .”
"There are a lot of people," Liao Dahua said. In addition to the workers at Sugar Village, there are also their families. Hai Yitang will probably send some bad guys to mix in, at least a thousand people. "There is another thing we must be careful about. There is a lot of money in the candy store. Everyone knows this. Once things get into trouble, there is a chance that someone will take advantage of the chaos.
Sister Bei also nodded in agreement with Liao Dahua's judgment. If it is a team like the Salt Farm Villagers' Army that has been established for a long time, has been trained a lot, and has a unified heart, it is probably no problem. However, like the Sugar Factory's Militia, which has only been established for a month or two, it is expected that they can withstand ten times more resistance. The mob is unrealistic.
"Don't we have escorts? There are also people from Beifu." Wen Tong thought of Beifei.
"Please, we scouts are also human beings, not Kenjiro." Beifu said with a bitter smile, "Even if we can fight, we may not be able to fight one against a hundred."
"Isn't it enough once the bird mirror rings?" Because Liao Dahua was present, Wen Tong spoke a little more reservedly.
"This is the Ming Dynasty, not South America. The natives of the Ming Dynasty are not Indians. They think we are gods descending to earth. It is easier when the gun goes off, but people also know that you are a fluke and not a magical weapon." Sister Bei said, "Besides. In Someone was killed in the sugar factory, how will it end?"
"Then we'll just kill him." Seeing Wen Tong's hesitant expression, Liao Dahua quickly said, "I'll go outside first and take a look. If anything happens, the shopkeepers will come and greet me." "
"This is the only way we can do it." Bei Fei nodded, "It's a pity that I didn't bring a sniper rifle or even a rifle. Otherwise, I would have just shot the headshot of Mr. Zhu Sanye from a long distance." He pondered for a moment, "I want to If I don’t take two people with me, I can go in at night and kill him.”
"If this happens, those people in Haiyi Hall will wet their pants out of fear." Everyone felt a little relaxed.
Beifu thought for a moment: "But we don't know what's going on inside Haiyi Hall. We don't even know what Third Master Zhu looks like. We have to do some reconnaissance in advance. I'll take someone to get a feel for the situation tonight, and I'll do some training."
If someone is willing to contribute, everyone will be happy. However, Merlin was not enthusiastic about this matter and said: "Can't we win over the workers? I believe they are also being exploited because of their helplessness.
"It's certain that they will be taken advantage of. But it only takes a few days to get them to change their attitude. I'm afraid it will be too late."
"After all, there are still three or four days. If we definitely fight for it, there is still a chance to turn around." He insisted, "The workers were just deceived. In the end, we also ruined their jobs, and they had no choice but to get up. Resistant,”
No one likes to hear this. He makes himself look like the most evil capitalist - even though this is actually the case. Wen Tong said: "You mean they made the right move and smashed it well, it was a revolutionary act. Xiao,
Mei Lin hurriedly said: "Of course not, after all, the interests of the Time Travel Group are the most important." Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not good, he hurriedly defended, "This is also for the sake of the South China Factory and the great cause of Time Travel. I went to Leizhou It's a short-term business trip, and you'll leave after building the house. South China is going to keep opening up in Xuwen and Leizhou. Now that we have a weak foothold, provoking enemies is not a long-term solution."
Say this. That makes sense. But Sister Bei disagreed. Since there is a conflict of interest, unless both parties can fully reconcile and reach a satisfactory interest distribution plan, they will always end up enmity. This is also a concern. Don't worry about that, don't do anything.
Kan Tianxiong said: "What Xiao Meilin said makes some sense. Well, let's make more preparations. We have to prepare everything from soft to hard. We also need to take into account the transportation of sugar to Guangzhou."
"You are still transporting sugar to Guangzhou now? This matter clearly shows that Hai Yitang is causing trouble inside. As soon as our sugar boat goes out, it will not be given away for free."
"Otherwise" Mou Tianxiong said. "Guangzhou is probably taking a huge risk by allocating funds for us now. Reasonably, South China has to transport the sugar as soon as possible for them to cash in."
"But what about the security issue? Now we have enemies on the shore and at sea. We can't care about this side but not the other side." Wen Tong said anxiously.
Kan Tianxiong said: "You have to eat small meals one bite at a time, and do things one by one." He thought for a moment, and then twirled his fingers and listed the things to be done one by one:
"Sugar Walking needs to speed up the acquisition," Mou Tianxiong suggested. "Since Guangzhou has said that money is not a problem, we will add a few more weighers. The faster the sugar harvest, the more stable the sugarcane farmers will be." The order can also be improved. This is to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters."
"That's a good idea." Xiao Gui said, "With the hope of selling sugar at a high price, sugarcane farmers will never ask anyone to destroy the sugar factory!"
"Very good, very good!" Wen Tong was in high spirits. “There are many more sugarcane farmers than sugar inspectors.”
"This is just talk." Qi Fei shook his head, "The sugar workers are organized to prepare for trouble, and they are not the same thing as the sugarcane farmers. What Xiao Gui said is interesting, but it is unreliable."
"It's better to have someone to help than no one to help," Wen Tong urged Mou Tianxiong, "Where's down there?"
"Organize a militia to prepare for guarding. Prepare a set of plans in case something breaks out. This is to prepare for a rainy day." Mou Tianxiong said. "In case the militiamen can't stand it any longer and run away, I personally think it's better to save their lives. Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood!~!
