In addition to amending legal provisions. [Full text reading] Just writing legal documents is also a big project - it is something that ordinary people cannot do. We have to work for these "unemployed" people.
"No problem! If you go on the road like this, Ma Jia, my brothers will definitely help you!" Several people immediately agreed.
“However, we have jobs assigned during the day, so we have to come to work at night.
"I'll go to Wu De and ask him to 'loan' you all to me for a few days."
Wu De supports the establishment of a judicial system and would not refuse such a secondment. If we don't go through this secondment procedure, not only will the work of this group of people be considered voluntary labor, but they will also have to do it outside of working hours.
Everyone is happy to be able to get away from boring work for a few days and do something relevant.
Ma Jia took a big sip of kvass, and everyone in the Law Club seemed to be in good spirits. This is a good sign. Now is an era when engineers rule the country. In the future, like the United States, it is likely to be an era when lawyers rule the country...
After the meeting, Ma Jia made a report to Wu De, requesting that these people be "assigned" to work at the Maritime Court, and then went to Xiao Zishan to file an application, requesting that some office expenses should be allocated to purchase the work. Enjoyable items such as drinks and cigarettes.
Xiao Zishan was very generous. Not only did he immediately write an appropriation note to him, he also issued him a special purchase certificate so that he could purchase some additional "special goods."
Special commodities in the past were mainly consumer goods that were not produced in this time and space. Mainly various foods: including cola, cigarettes, instant noodles, cans, etc., as well as daily necessities and medicines such as flower water, Fengyoujing, towels and ten drops of water. These items are mainly provided to those who engage in "heavy physical work" and "dangerous work", and are sometimes used as prizes for individuals who have received commendations.
As supply improves and inventory decreases, the items on this special offer are changing. Some items were removed - cigarettes, cola and instant noodles, for example. There are also additions, and the biggest change is the increase in products produced by local industries. In fact, there are many items that are not considered “high-end”, but due to production capacity issues, they cannot be openly supplied. For example, the cold storage on the Fengcheng Wheel makes several kinds of popsicles. Although the raw materials are only fruits, mung beans, adzuki beans, sugar and filtered water, they are supplied on a per-person basis. People of all ages and genders are allotted one popsicle per day. branch. An extra bottle is provided for children under 13 years old.
The vest looked at the items on the special purchase certificate: "Leizhou Sugar Industry" rum (75 ml, one bottle per day; Lingao brand cigarettes, each person per day is limited to 10 cigarettes and 1 pack; although there are only two items, But the signals reflected are quite intriguing.
"It seems that there are many people in the executive committee who are optimistic about us." Ma Jia said to himself.
Only he could clearly realize why there was such a wonderful difference in the attitudes of everyone on the executive committee.
"It's been almost a year since I joined 6." Ma Jia muttered to himself and stuffed the list into his pocket.
The members of the Law Club were busy with the piracy case of the five-masted ship, but a guest came to the shop.
This person came to Bopu on a small fishing boat. According to the latest state of emergency, all ships arriving at Lingao-Xuwen Ocean must undergo inspection. When the navy boarded the ship for inspection, the visitor lied and claimed to be a merchant who was selling rice at high prices - and the ship was indeed filled with food. After landing on the 6th, he revealed his identity to the naval officer on duty at the dock: he was the envoy of Mr. Zhu Cai. The little pirate leader Shi Shishi was captured during Zhu Cailao's "fishing" battle last year.
At that time, Ma Qianzhu let him go back to negotiate peace with Zhu Cai. But there was no news of this man. After that, Zhu Cai Lao rarely came to the sea near Qiongzhou for activities. The peace talks were put on hold.
As soon as Shi Shishi arrived at Bopu, he asked to see "Ma Chang". He brought Zhu Cai Lao's request for peace talks and a letter.
In the letter, Mr. Zhu Cai had a very tough tone, saying that he was willing to negotiate peace with the "Australians", but the Australian Group had to compensate him for all the losses caused by the destruction of the Gou family in Lingao - he proposed to Chuanchuan Group to give him an outlet to sell glass. Not interested in trade patent rights as compensation. Directly request the Cross Travel Group to take 40,000 Spanish silver as compensation, and at the same time give him an equal amount of silver as a loan, and he can pay a monthly interest of 2% on the loan. In addition, he also named the Crossing Group to provide artillery, gunpowder, and, if possible, build some ships for him. These can be purchased with cash or goods.
Although the tone in the letter was very loud, it was very "adults don't take into account the faults of small people". It meant "call the door immediately if you don't agree", but after Ma Qianzhu studied it over and over for a long time, he felt that the letter was a bit sleazy and internal. Zhu Cailao's urgent need for money, weapons, and ships clearly revealed his urgent need for support.
"If we had the strength now to set up a maritime blackwater company to make a difference, Zheng Zhilong would still have a headache." Chen Haiyang, who studied the letters together, said.
"If he had this strength, we would have killed him long ago and taken over his ship and people." Ma Qianzhu took the letter and really couldn't make up his mind. "The information we have is still too little." He said sadly.
Except for the Intelligence Committee looking for fragments of historical records in old papers, the information about the pirate group that the Travel Group can obtain basically comes from the information collected by the Guangzhou Station along the coast of Guangdong. The characteristic is that the information collected is mainly hearsay, and the content is very confusing. The news in the Tang newspapers flowing out of the offices of the dignified governor, inspector and governor of Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty was also confusing. A major pirate leader often had several different names. Yu Eshui had already made a list of duplicate names to avoid new ones. After the information comes, you still have to check the book.
Ma Qianzhu didn't know that Mr. Zhu Cai had been having a rough time in the past year. His two fleets, the north and the south, originally operated in the waters of Fujian, had been disintegrated under the joint encirclement and suppression by the Ming army and Zheng Zhilong. At this juncture, the "Australian" who came out of nowhere hit him with a sap that made stars appear in his eyes - the Gou family was his biggest seller and hiding place of stolen goods. This loss was enough to make him vomit blood. The sudden financial change The tension caused great embarrassment in the salary source and serious instability among the subordinates. Immediately some people and boats dispersed. It's not that Zhu Cai didn't want to kill Lingao to avenge his death and regain his property, but the situation at sea was complicated and Liu Xiang's squeeze forced him to deal with this suddenly rising junior first. After his attempt to seize the ship failed, he led the Southern Fleet north to Fujian, hoping to gain enough profits in Fujian to rebuild the fleet - at that time, Fujian's oceanic foreign trade was extremely prosperous. One is the route to Japan, and the other is trade with the Dutch who are entrenched in Tai Yuan Port in Taiwan. They are both lucrative businesses.
After arriving at the ocean in Fujian, they collected many scattered ships and people, robbed and attacked several local targets, supplemented food and wages, and Zhu Cailao's momentum regained strength. However, Zheng Zhilong had long regarded all maritime trade in Fujian as forbidden, so he would naturally not welcome Zhu Cai Lao's arrival. Li Kuiqi was even more dissatisfied with his taking advantage of the situation, and conflicts between all parties continued in Fujian. Zhu Cailao's economic situation was relatively poor and he gradually fell into a disadvantage in the battle.
Under this situation, Zhu Cailao planned to return to eastern Guangdong, but Liu Xiang, who had already established a foothold in eastern Guangdong, did not want him to come back. The first batch of returning ships were intercepted by Liu Xiang's fleet at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong. The two sides fought a battle. Although there was no winner, Zhu Cailao's passive situation did not get any relief.
"You've been working hard all the way, so go down and rest first." Ma Qianzhu said pleasantly, and then ordered someone to take him to a business building in Dongmen City to check in. As for his men and the sailors on the ship, they were arranged to live in the Sailors' Inn in Bopu.
The executive committee immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss Zhu Cailao's terms for peace talks. It's not harsh to be honest. The loot they got from the Gou family definitely exceeded 40,000 Spanish silver, and the loan he proposed was also willing to pay interest.
"Zhu Cai Lao won't live long." Yu Eshui said, "Peace talks with him are worthless now unless we plan to form an alliance with him."
Historically, Zhu Cai's veteran general was defeated by Zheng Zhilong when he attacked Min'an in August this year, and then his entire army was annihilated in Nanri.
Obviously, the main issue to be discussed by the Cross-Travel Group is: Should we change history and save the Zhucai Old Group?
Some people agree. After all, the existence of the Zhucai Lao Group can contain Zheng Zhilong, and at the same time, it can also contain the Liu Xiang Group in disguise. From the perspective of the traversing group, the more forces and chaos on the sea, the better. Judging from the maritime strength of the Crossing Group, it is not a problem to protect its trade and shipping to Guangdong in chaos, but it is still not strong enough to fight a large-scale decisive battle at sea.
Others think it is not necessary to save the Zhucai Lao Group. First of all, they are not yet able to annex this maritime force. Secondly, once they reach an agreement with him, they may assume more and more responsibilities. This is something that the Time Travel Group is very unwilling to see.
Wen Desi was not interested in forming an alliance. In his view, the investment in this matter was too great and uneconomical. If you want to save the Zhucai Lao Group, you must provide him with monetary support according to his requirements and sell weapons to him at the same time. Unfortunately, both time travelers are not very abundant. Even if the number can be negotiated, it is still a huge amount. Besides, artillery and gunpowder are also urgently needed supplies for the Crossing Group itself.
"I believe that the amount proposed by Mr. Zhu Cai is by no means a big deal, but that he really needs so much money to run the fleet. And this may be just the beginning."
Once you start investing in this business, it is likely to become a bottomless pit - if the situation of the Zhucai Old Group does not improve with their support - this is very possible, and most people on the executive committee are not arrogant. Thinking that he can change the direction of history at will - even if he doesn't come to ask for help, the Time Travel Group will have to continue to expand its gambling capital in order to save its investment. This kind of thing often starts with the intention of spending a small amount of money to do big things, but ends up spending more and more money, and things get worse and worse. Just look at how Americans fell into Vietnam.
This is called this moment and that moment. Ma Qianju thought to himself that Si Lou Baining proposed the peace talks in order to stabilize Zhu Cai Lao and make some profit transfers without affecting his core interests, so as to avoid or delay him from launching large-scale revenge as much as possible. It is to buy more time for the construction of Lingao.
Zhu Cailao didn't play his cards when they were at their weakest. Whether it was the luck of the traveling group or Liu Xiang's restraint, the most critical period at the beginning had passed. At this time, if we continue to negotiate with Mr. Zhu Cai, his value is no longer great. If the historical information provided by Yu Eshui is accurate. Zhu Cailao's life span is less than two months. What benefit will it bring to you if you help him extend his life span?
The biggest benefit is to keep an extra force at sea to contain Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong.
However, as the Intelligence Committee deepened its research on this period of history, Yu Eshui made a bold prediction, believing that the chaos on the Fujian-Guangdong Sea would continue for a long time at least within three or four years. After all, Zheng Zhilong killed Liu The incense will arrive in the eighth year of Chongzhen. One more Zhucai Laoshao and one Zhucai Lao will have little impact on the travelers. Perhaps it would be better to end the relationship with Zhu Cai, who has officially formed a relationship with the time traveler.
At this time, Yu Eshui was saying: "...Everyone, it is already the end of June of 1629 in the Gregorian calendar. In less than a month, Zhu Cailao will be defeated by the Ming army in Min'an, Fujian, and then be defeated by the Ming army in Nanri. Zheng Zhilong is eliminated - in this last remaining month, how are we going to influence him?"
"Inform him not to attack Min'an, and not to go to Nanri when escaping-"
"First, we don't know whether he will listen to our suggestions; secondly, we have very limited information about the details of this period of history. Therefore, it is difficult to make an overall judgment. If he asks us, where can we not attack Min'an? , who has the ability to come up with a strategy that is beneficial to both him and us?"
Everyone really couldn't figure it out.
"So what we have to do is not to save him, but to act as a vulture," Yu Eshui used an unpleasant but vivid metaphor, "...to obtain as much practical benefits as possible from his corpse after his destruction."
The so-called actual benefits are not gold and silver treasures, but the personnel and ships of the Zhucai Lao Group. What Chen Haiyang has always wanted.
The task of recruiting and surrendering Zhu Cai's old subordinates fell to the Enemy Work Department of the General Political Security Administration, which was officially named "Rong Work".
Ran Yao summoned his secret weapon in the office convened by the General Administration of Political Security.
"Invite the Minister of Enemy Industry to come to the office."
"Yes, sir." Hu Lai, the teenage correspondent, did a Prussian touch of his heels, turned around and ran out. The students in the military and political schools who work as administrative trainees in the Political Security Administration are all bitter and hateful types, and they basically come naked to surrender. Ran Yao's political review standards for recruiting people are even harsher than those of the Executive Committee: no relatives are allowed, and it is best not to even remember his last name; it is best not to remember where his hometown is; he has suffered greatly, and if he is transported through time Those who live their lives are best. Finally, they have to pass a series of tests, and any child who shows greedy, restless, weak, and likes to chat will be eliminated.
Lin Baiguang, the Minister of Enemy Industry, walked in quickly. He used to be the deputy director of the county party committee office in a certain county. He had his own ideas about being an official and climbed to a very high position at a young age. But his ambition was far greater than being a civil servant in a small, dusty county. Ran Yao knew that this man was a typical Chinese bureaucrat. He always had a smile on his face, always spoke in an organized manner, and always commented on everything to the point. He drank vigorously and never fell down; sometimes he treated others better than his own brothers. Okay; you can always turn your back on someone.
Ran Yao also knew that this man had brought all the necessities he had brought with him on board the ship, including dozens of cigarettes - but he had never smoked one. Every time Ran Yao convened a meeting of the General Security Administration, there would be one or two packs of Chinese cigarettes from unknown origins on the table, and he should have taken them out.
The most suspicious thing is that he has a solar-powered PDA. He often looks at it at night and sometimes writes something. No one knew what he was writing. Ran Yao believed that he was definitely not writing a novel, but rather a diary or something like that. Maybe it's still a black account.
Once when Ran Yao was discussing work with Ma Qianzhu, Ma Qianzhu once said something incomprehensible:
"Does any of you keep a diary?"
At that time, Ran Yao didn't realize what the governor was talking about. I had to say vaguely no. Ma Qianzhu did not continue this topic.
Later, Wen Desi made a strange comment to him in private: "It is a good habit to keep a diary. Comrades who have this habit should pay more attention to it."
It took Ran Yao a month or two to realize what they were talking about.
How did they know that the enemy minister had such a habit? Obviously, there were people unknown to him in the Political Security Administration or the House Committee who were reporting intelligence directly to the leaders of the Executive Committee.
This inference is not surprising to Ran Yao, who is used to working in public security. Such a powerful department cannot be completely left to his control. Just like he secretly installed the "Ten-Man Group" in the 6th Navy.
However, Lin Baiguang's working ability is indeed very strong and his work attitude is very positive. He can be called a god. Not only did he quickly learn the difficult-to-understand Lingao dialect, he also taught himself Cantonese vernacular, Minnan dialect and Nanjing Mandarin. Recently, he discovered that this person was repeating a strange dialect again in the morning.
"This is Manchu." He replied to those who asked.
Ran Yao thought to himself: This guy's ambition is really quite big - but only with ambition can he be motivated.
Lin Baiguang walked in.
Yao got straight to the point, "I just accepted a task from the Executive Committee. Your Enemy Industry Department will be responsible for this work."
"Understood, what is the mission?"
Ran Yao briefly conveyed the intention of the executive committee.
"What, have you considered how to proceed?"
"It's difficult." Lin Baiguang replied seriously, "We don't have any 'relationships' to take advantage of in the pirate group. So far, the only connection we have is Zhang Youfu - but he is only related to the outer members of the pirates. And this person can’t decide whether it’s okay or not right now.”(!)! ~!
