Chapter 128 Guangzhou Advance Station

Liang Cunhou forced a smile and said: "I donate food for disaster relief. On the one hand, I can't bear to see the people displaced and starved to death on the road; on the other hand, I am afraid that the poor people will be forced by hunger and cold, so they will take risks. Do you know how many people have flooded in and out of Guangzhou recently?" Hungry people? Calculation hastily, no less than [-]! It is still the autumn harvest, and when the spring famine season comes next spring, I don’t know how many more hungry people will come! If someone makes a noise, it’s not a place where there is decay! How many gentlemen are laughable , claiming to be a disciple of a sage. On the other hand, I said that I deliberately gain fame and win people's hearts, as if I have ulterior motives. Ridiculous! Ridiculous!" After speaking, I probably felt a little slip of the tongue, and hurriedly cupped my hands, "I lost my mind!"

"There are only two people missing." Xiao Zishan muttered to himself.

"What is the shopkeeper talking about?" Liang Cunhou asked, puzzled.

"No, no, nothing." Xiao Zishan hurriedly changed the subject, "Young Master Liang, I still want to recruit some hungry people in Guangzhou and send them to Qiongzhou to open up wasteland. I wonder if there is any problem with the government?"

"Open up wasteland?" Mr. Liang laughed dumbly, "Don't blame me for pouring cold water on you. You have invested in land reclamation. I am afraid that you will not even be able to pay the money and food in the end. You have worked hard for a year, and those subordinates are in vain. Recruiting refugees is a good thing. I'm afraid that if things go wrong, it will cause them to be displaced."

An important instruction given by the Executive Committee to the intelligence personnel was to collect all kinds of social information in the Ming Dynasty. Seeing this, Guo Yi deliberately asked, "Why did Mr. Liang say such a thing?"

"Qiongzhou, I have never been to Qiongzhou. But I heard that this place is hot and humid, with many miasma and hurricanes. There are also Li people making trouble. Although there is a lot of wasteland, I am afraid it is not easy to live in. Besides, you are all merchants, and you don't have any fame. Isn't it true? The fat sheep in the eyes of the local subordinates! It’s too light to lose everything, and it’s so heavy that it’s going to ruin the family! Alas, this world!"

Guo Yi had no choice but to claim that he was right, not daring to say more.Just as he was talking, he saw a servant coming over and whispered something to him. Mr. Liang stood up, said that he still had something to do, and said goodbye.Everyone bid farewell, and not long after they left, a servant ran over and asked respectfully: "My son, where is your servant? He will come to pay respects another day."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay: I was submissive in front of him just now, that is, I didn't chant "Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow", and I didn't talk about human rights, democracy and freedom. What are you looking for in this group of merchants?

Guo Yi hurriedly said: "I'm in Huifu Street, and it's Zizhenzhai."

After the servant asked clearly, he took out a piece of plum red paper from the worship box: "This is my son's name card. Please accept it."

Giving name stickers when they first met each other is very important to each other. Guo Yilai had listened to the series of lectures on "Ming Dynasty Customs and Customs" given by Eshui before, and hurriedly pushed it but said "I dare not accept it".I couldn't refuse again and again before accepting it.

Xiao Zishan was worried, and rushed to the mule and horse shop of the bodyguard bureau, and saw that the people who came had already settled down under the arrangement of the bodyguard bureau. With so many people, all the bodyguards mobilized to cook and boil water, and asked doctors to prescribe prescriptions and make medicines for a few patients.

Back on Huifu Street, everyone discussed that the goods had not been bought yet, but people had already bought more than 200 mouthfuls. It was not a long-term solution to stay in Qiwei's mule and horse shop. , The mind is active, and they are not jailers guarding, watching 24 hours a day, they simply transport the people back first, and then transport the goods.

This initiative was enthusiastically approved by the crew, which surprised Xiao Zishan. He thought that these people had only been here for a few days, and they were unwilling to go back immediately.I don't know how many people are carrying Xiao Jiujiu.It was decided at the moment to let the purchased population rest in Qiwei's Luoma Dadian for two days, and then the crew will be responsible for transporting them back, and the others will stay in Guangzhou to continue the construction of the advance station.

Housing renovation works are also in full swing.According to the plan, the house on Huifu Street will be transformed into a treasure store in the style of a store in the front and a square in the back, specializing in the sale of various luxury goods made by the people.Some post-processing and assembly work can be done here, leaving only the key processes in Bairen City.Yan Maoda, the former manager of the jewelry company, did some research on the design and processing of jewelry, and brought a lot of information about new jewelry with him. He said that he only needs to recruit a few skilled craftsmen to make these jewelry—this is better than blindly selling glass. The device is better, and it also avoids conflicts with the promotion of their products.

Taking advantage of his relationship with Gao Ju, Xiao Zishan recruited many workers to carry out the reconstruction project.Fortunately, they had money in their hands, and under the pretext of opening treasures, the entire courtyard house was built with strict barriers.Although it didn't look like the American embassy, ​​it was almost the same.Imitating the safety measures of Shanxi banks and pawns in the past, iron grilles were installed on the ceiling to prevent burglars from falling from the sky.The walls are built with stone strips at the foot of the wall, and the top is built with green bricks facing each other, which is extremely strong. Except for the traditional long windows in the front part of the house, the buildings in the backyard only have ordinary windows and iron bars.The most stringent of them is the courtyard built in the name of the treasury. The three houses inside are all built with bricks and stones without any wood.There are no windows, and the gate is an iron gate with locks brought from the 21st century.This is similar to the safe rooms in embassies of various countries, which are used to handle confidential matters. One of them is a telecommunications room, one is a conference room, and the last one is a real treasury - not only gold and silver are stored in it, but also More important information, weapons, and reconnaissance equipment.In addition to the radio station, the intelligence team also equipped the advance station with walkie-talkies, pistols, binoculars, night vision goggles, digital cameras and laptop computers. Limited, more than enough supplies of radios and laptops.

The monitoring and security facilities in the original plan could only be suspended because the power problem could not be solved.However, the advance station still installed an infrared siren at the door of the safe house.

In terms of water use, there are two wells available in the whole house, and Sun Chang had asked people to search for them when he was initially repairing the house.In order to prevent delicate modern people from acclimatizing, the advance station also brought a set of simple water filter and sterilizer. The filter element of this water filter can be replaced for one year, which is quite convenient.

The Dengyingzhou ship brought more than 30 tons of supplies and 5000 taels of cash. These were all the start-up funds for the advance station. According to regulations, the advance personnel could not withdraw and use the 20 taels of money from Gaoju.

Everyone was busy, and Guo Yi was alone in the room thinking about how to carry out his future work.The tasks assigned by the executive committee to the advance station can be summed up in two points: gathering intelligence and conducting trade.

No matter which purpose is to be achieved, extensive social relations must first be established.They now have two entry points of Gaojia and Qiwei Escort, and the next step is to carry out work on a wider range of levels in society.

Guo Yi recalled the course on "Social and Economic Living Conditions in the Ming Dynasty" given to them in Eshui before departure.While thinking about what level to open the gap from.

As a businessman, it is very difficult to directly make friends with middle- and upper-level officials. Even if you spend a lot of money, it is only a little glory on the scene.But bureaucrats have strong purchasing power and political power, which is a part of their future business.

The second is the local gentry and wealthy businessmen, who either have fame or have colluded with officials in terms of interests, and belong to the wealthy and powerful local snakes.Gaoju is such a person. It is easier to make friends with them, and they have a deep connection with the middle and upper-level bureaucrats. This level is the main direction of the advance station's work at this stage.After arriving in Guangzhou, I made friends with Liang Cunhou. Although I don’t know the purpose of his befriending the time traveler, but he is a Juren, and his energy in the gentleman class is much greater than that of Gao Ju. If you make more use of it, you can open up a big situation in this class.

The masters, long followers, stewards, and cleanups around the officials; although the book classes, civil and military patrols, and officials in each yamen are not high-ranking, they have great energy in activities and know the dynamics of the officials and each yamen like the palm of their hands. When engaging in political intelligence, you can focus on them.Qiwei Escort has more dealings with these characters, and can use their relationship to do so.

As for ordinary people, they can learn a lot of market news and public opinion from their mouths.Information in this regard is also to be collected.

However, there are only six people with him in the entire Guangzhou station, namely:

Webmaster: Guo Yi

Commercial person in charge: Yan Maoda, Zhang Xin

Operator: Zhang Yuchen

Intelligence agents: Lu Rong, PEPI

It is still a little difficult for these few people to afford so many things.Both Yan Maoda and Zhang Xin came from sales backgrounds, needless to say they are seasoned veterans of shopping malls, as long as they adapt to the environment here, learn Guangzhou Mandarin better, engage in business entertainment, organize sales promotion and so on. Things are definitely within reach.

Zhang Yuchen is a telecommunications officer, and he doesn't like to talk, so he can only be responsible for internal affairs.

It seems that only he, Lu Rong and PEPI are responsible for the intelligence work. How to use PEPI is really a nerve-wracking thing. Seeing that she doesn't care about it, she looks confident-Guo Yi doubts that he has never thought about the seriousness and danger of underground work. It's the stage for performance -- there are more than a dozen large and small boxes in the luggage alone, and Guo Yi knows with his feet that there must be his outfit inside.

He sorted out his thoughts and drafted the current work objectives and the rules and regulations of the advance station.Before Xiao Zishan went back, he planned to hold a meeting with the remaining advance team members to arrange work.
