Chapter 291 Sweet Hong Kong Situation – The Solution

"Liao Dahua said that he has already rented a courtyard in Xuwen County, and if it is impossible, he can escape into the county." Wen Tong put forward Liao Dahua's suggestion.

"This is the second." Chen Tianxiong said, "No matter how important the South China Sugar Factory is, we don't necessarily have to die in the factory. I think Bei Wei and Liao Dahua will discuss together and prepare for the event of escape. Plan. How to go, who to take..."

There were hundreds of people in the factory, and Beiwei only brought two or three team members, and the bodyguard bureau could only come here with a dozen people at most. It was obviously impossible to protect all the workers from escaping.Fortunately, most of the opponents only want to take their lives, and ordinary employees will not kill them all.

"Send away the Wen family brothers and the women. It's useless for women to stay here. I have spent a lot of effort to train the Wen family brothers. It would be a pity if they were killed." Wen Tong said.In fact, the key is that these people get along with the time traveler day and night, and have a certain relationship. "There are also a few backbones in the sugar factory and their families." He shook his head, "But now the hearts of the people have just been collected. In this way, when South China recovers in the future, the hearts of the people will be scattered."

This is self-evident, once things break out, the employees of the sugar factory will inevitably suffer casualties, but their leaders and cronies have long since hid in a safe place - no one would like this kind of situation matter.

Thinking of this, everyone can't help but feel frustrated.Xiao Gui said: "I think it would be too selfish and despicable to do this." He said that since he now thinks of asking the workers to help defend the sugar factory, he will just throw them away and leave them to fate.In the future, the reputation in South China will be so bad.

"I think," Chen Tianxiong said, "don't send the Wen family brothers away either. They are an important channel for us to communicate with the locals. In addition, women should not be sent away either, so as not to affect morale."

This is the meaning of throwing pawns to protect handsome.Everyone knew that it was useless for a few female slaves to stay in the sugar factory.But at least it was an attitude—everyone in the sugar factory knew that the female slaves were the lord's concubines.

Xiao Gui originally admired Chen Tianxiong's calmness and orderliness, but now he disapproved: "It's even worse," Xiao Gui said, "What we should consider now is how to defend the South China Sugar Factory, not how to Escaping for your life, let alone preparing to say that you will resign to deceive employees after escaping!"

These words were so righteous that everyone was speechless.Wen Tong's face turned green and white: "It's okay, I have a gun anyway. At that time, if I try my best, I will be the first to enter Cuigang."

In Cuigang Cemetery, no cross-travelers have been buried yet.Said to be the first to bury it, which is obviously a resentment.

Chen Tianxiong was still lukewarm: "The sugar factory must be preserved as much as possible. But when the workers come to the door, even if they try their best, they may not be able to preserve it."

Bei Wei asked, "What about the third one?"

"The third is to inquire about the news and find out the overall situation. Although I am not in favor of violently wishing the third master's head, this matter still needs to be prepared in advance. If it is impossible, it is better for us to let him blow our head Violated him." At this point, everyone smiled a little, "In addition to Zhu Sanye, who else is the key? What is their attitude? We have to find out one by one, including the details. I understand. This way, when it comes to beating or dragging, there will be a care. Otherwise, if you want to kill and set fire, you will have nowhere to find someone!"

"This makes sense." Bei Wei agreed. "Send all the people who are arrogant to investigate."

"The people who made a fuss are now asking for news outside. Now that I have a clear goal, I will take care of Liao Dahua again!" Wen Tong said.

"With accurate information, things will be easier to handle. If it doesn't work, I'll ask Lao Bei to get it done. This job is a bit 'dirty'..."

The so-called "dirty" means that this is different from wars between countries. The division is well-known, and it is really a competition for interests. Chen Tianxiong is afraid that he will feel uncomfortable if Bei Wei, who was born as a soldier, is engaged in gangster activities. .

"That's unnecessary." Bei Wei said, "Since we've come to this time and space, we have to consider the overall situation of the Traveling Group."

"Okay, that's all there is to say." Chen Tianxiong said, "Actually, I have another idea, which is to take the bottom from the pot. But I'm not sure."

The so-called bottom line is to lobby the Tangliao workers who are preparing to start an uprising, so that they "understand the righteousness" or pay a lot of money, as long as they don't do anything, the incident will be more than half successful.But the current situation is unclear, making Chen Tianxiong feel a little helpless.

"Aren't they out of work? At worst, we'll recruit them all." Merlin said, he became excited, as if he had discovered a new continent, "I don't believe they'll make trouble after they're paid."

"Originally, it was possible, but we were late." Wen Tong was a little frustrated, "Now the sugar factory has no shortage of people, so why are they recruited? You can't just feed yourself for nothing, right?"

"Even if white-collar wages are good, at least it plays the role of 'maintaining stability'!" Merlin said, "In addition to two hundred or so workers, each person is 12 taels of silver a year, which is more than 2000 taels."

This idea is not bad, although there is suspicion of spending money to buy peace, but it is always a more feasible way.

Chen Tianxiong nodded: "What you said gave me an idea. Leave this to me. I must appease the workers."

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what tricks he had up his sleeve, but seeing his mysterious appearance, he must have great confidence.

"But this matter requires everyone's cooperation. Especially Wen Tong." Chen Tianxiong said, "But I'm [-] to [-]% sure that it can be done—at least it can make them internally turmoil and delay the trouble for a few days."

After the calculation was settled, Wen Tong asked: "What about the sugar transportation? It is important to transport sugar to Guangzhou, but how to solve the safety problem?"

"That's right, we need to ask the executive committee to send escort ships, or equip all the ships of Guanggao Shipping Company with weapons and soldiers, but this will be troublesome."

"It doesn't matter, I have an idea, but I need the help of the executive committee, it's like this—"

The calculation is settled, and everyone goes to work separately.Chen Tianxiong had another secret discussion with Wen Tong, and immediately called Liao Daxing, asked him a lot of questions, and asked him to make a list of all the workers in the sugar factory who were originally from Tangliao workers, and then wrote on it with a pen. Note one by one what they used to do: cook sugar, light fire, or general handyman.He also asked Wenxiu to take all the "convincing arguments" written by the workers in the "anti-corruption" campaign, and compared them one by one. He was busy for a long time.

Wen Tong was surprised and asked, "What does this mean?"

Chen Tianxiong said: "To put it bluntly, it's not rare, it's just a trick to provoke the masses to fight against the masses."

The method that Merlin mentioned to hire all the unemployed workers, if used a few months earlier, is indeed a good strategy to "drain salaries from the bottom of the pot".But it is too late now.The unemployed workers were clearly organized and had leaders.This leader is probably still under the control of Haiyitang. If he proposes to offer a job now, it may not be able to win the trust of the unemployed workers. Even if the other party is willing to talk, the asking price may be ridiculously high.

"Think about it: the unemployed workers are already ready to go, and now we say that we are willing to give them jobs. What do you think if you are an unemployed worker?"

"Of course I feel that the other party is afraid."

"That's right," Chen Tianxiong nodded, "This will make them realize their own strength—these people haven't thought about it so much yet."

"It will actually help them unite."

"Hehe, that's right." Chen Tianxiong said with a smile, "So the first thing to do is to divide them. The workers in Tangliao may be said to be one, but they are actually divided into several types."

We all know that the sugar cooker has the highest technical requirements, so every sugar house is headed by him, followed by the fire burner, who controls the size of the fire at all times according to the instructions of the sugar cooker. These two kinds of people are technical experts Yes, the income is also the highest.Especially in the harvest season, the income of skilled masters is considerable.Others are just laborers selling their strength.

"Who are you pulling and beating?" Wen Tong asked.

"According to you?" Chen Tianxiong suddenly let go.

Wen Tong said: "Generally speaking, it is always good to recruit skilled people. Firstly, skilled people are useful, and secondly, they have a greater right to speak in the group. But we don't need their skills—— "

Chen Tianxiong nodded again and again: "That's right, Lao Wen, you can think faster than me. At first I wanted to start with the sugar cooker, but later I realized that it was wrong—" He first held the same handful as above, "... The price to buy them is much higher than the price to buy ordinary workers."

In terms of income, these people have "been too difficult to find water in the sea", and South China cannot buy them off without spending a lot of money.The cost is too high, not only costing money but also dissatisfying the people in the sugar factory, the hatchback is not worth the loss.

In contrast, ordinary workers only need to have food to eat, clothes to wear, and their families not to starve to death.Although there are a large number of people, the cost is not large, and the psychological expectations are small, and they can be satisfied with proper placement, and they are even grateful.

As long as there is a stable food to eat, no matter how many complaints there are, no one is easily willing to become a mob.Chen Tianxiong and Wen Tong understood this truth very well.

Some people want to be a mob, and some people don't. This temporarily organized workers' group will inevitably have internal strife, and with the help of other means, it will easily disintegrate.Although Zhu Sanye is behind the scenes, he is not the Communist Party after all, and engaging in labor movements is not his specialty.

As for Chen Tianxiong's list of sugar factory workers, Wen Tong also understood.They have no contacts among the Tangliao workers, and they can only use people who are already in the factory to make connections. After all, they used to have a meal.

"When you find out Fu Bian, you probably want to let those who have 'painful feet' in their hands and we catch them go? We're not afraid of him betraying the water, nor are we afraid of him not doing his best."

"That's right," Chen Tianxiong said, "but those who write convincing arguments are basically those who boil sugar and light fires. There are very few ordinary laborers. They have no skills, and it is not up to them to divide the spoils."

"It's okay if you don't have one! At least your character is good."

"That's right. I've selected a few, and I'll meet them later to see how their adaptability is. Let them go out for activities tomorrow morning!"

Chen Tianxiong also planned to go out for activities by himself, but he didn't say this first, firstly, he didn't want to make everyone worry, and secondly, he also wanted to show his hand in front of everyone and show off.Not to mention, although Bei Wei is only the captain of the special investigation team, he is the core member of the executive committee, leaving a deep impression on him will be of great benefit to the future development.

Early the next morning, Chen Tianxiong and Zhou Shidi set off together.He had already learned Leizhou dialect in Lingao, which was not very standard, and he had no problem communicating with the locals. In addition, his skin was relatively dark, and he looked very "Ming Dynasty" after changing into local clothes.

Originally, Liao Dahua wanted to send the best martial artist in Weilei Prefecture to follow him, but Chen Tianxiong still chose Zhou Shidi. He also understands his behavior and style, so he doesn't need to explain more.

The purpose of this trip is to visit Linzhuang.Those who raised their voices easily found out that he was the leader of the unemployed workers in Tangliao.I also know that he has been to Haiyi Hall several times.

"Lin Zhuang's skills are mediocre," Zhou Shizhai said, "mainly because he is more 'outside' and can talk. He has a little relationship with Xu Wen's three religions and nine streams, so he is considered a leader among the Tangliao workers. The last time he went to court It’s because the public pushed him out.”

"How are you?" Chen Tianxiong asked.

"He's pretty decent." The bodyguard said, of course this person is not a bad person, because he likes to make friends, he has been contaminated with various bad habits, he has a part in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and can't save a lot of money.So in his thirties he has no wife and is a bachelor.

Lin Zhuang is a bachelor, so naturally he doesn't have any family.Right now he is living in Monk Zou's temple, which is surrounded by unemployed Tangliao workers with their families who are going to South China to ask for an explanation. It would be a bit risky to go to him.

"It doesn't matter, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger cub?" Chen Tianxiong was very sure that since Lin Zhuang had a habit, he would not be someone with a firm stand, and the bribe was very likely to be successful.Even if he doesn't succeed, just today's incident, if it gets out, it will be vivid, and it will still wipe out his little prestige.

A snake can't do without a head.Get rid of this backbone, coupled with the strategic action of "the masses fighting the masses", this group of mobs that have gathered temporarily will immediately disband, and it will be much easier to clean up the mess when the time comes.

The two came to Monk Zou's temple, and saw that the temple was quite large - because Monk Zou was the ancestor of the sugar industry, Leizhou's sugar industry was developed, and Monk Zou's temple was also very well built.Originally, this was also the place where Haiyitang sang operas to reward the gods every year.

But at this time, before and after the temple, there are people with families everywhere.The hallway is full.Adults make children cry, and the bustle is like a market.Some of them were fairly well dressed, while others were in rags, almost like refugees.
