Chapter 586 Liaodong Population
"If this is the case, light industry can be spread. Why spread it out to the gun factory? Most people don't often visit these things."

"My opinion is to sell Li Luoyou a complete set of silk reeling factory equipment..."

"I think it's good to process incoming materials. Making money and earning raw materials can also allow apprentices to practice their hands!"

"Bullshit—"

The two sides did not have many disputes over technical issues, but almost fought over whether to sell equipment and how to sell equipment.

"Forget it, everyone, stop arguing!" Huang Tianyu appeared at the door of the office with a dejected expression on his face, "I don't want anyone anymore!"

"What?!" Everyone was taken aback.Whether it is for or against, the news is like ice water.All the things manufactured by Lingao Industry, some are popular and some are not so popular, and no one has ever thought it bad or refused to buy it!In everyone's mind, manufacturing in Lingao is equivalent to "Made in Germany" in the old time and space.

Now such an indigenous rich man actually said no!Those who originally opposed the sale of the machine most fiercely were also at a loss.It feels as if there has always been a woman I don't like pestering me to go to bed, claiming that I can let you ravage and play with me, and now I suddenly don't even touch my penis.Emotionally lost.

"Why didn't you buy it?"

"I heard it's too expensive." Huang Tianyu sat down on a box containing parts.

"Who said that?" The people who were actively opposed to selling the machine were even more disappointed-the 5 taels of silver were gone!
"It's what Liu San said. The official notice should come soon."

A few minutes later, the machine factory's phone rang, and the secretary of the manufacturing director's office informed Zhan Wuya that just now, Chu Yu, the secretary of the Planning Institute's office, had officially notified the cancellation of the equipment order for the simple gun factory.

The political security office was brightly lit—the yard was lit even at midnight.The secret police—no matter what time and space they are in—are used to working at night.From the yard came the ringing of the telephone, voices and the heavy beating of Chinese typewriters.

Uver held in his hand the latest wiretapping report, which had been sorted and printed just before midnight.A dozen indigenous clerks sat in a room divided into small rooms.Each compartment is fitted with thick glass panels and sound-absorbing panels filled with kapok.Each listener understands at least two dialects: Cantonese vernacular, Qiongzhou dialect, Leizhou dialect, Hainan military dialect, Hakka dialect, Lingao dialect...all the dialects spoken in this area can be understood by people here.They listened intently to the sounds recorded with various equipment: computer microphones, tape recorders, recording pens, etc., and then used iron-point pens dipped in ink to record the content of the conversation on the notebook in front of them.

These sounds are played through cheap computer active speakers of more than ten yuan purchased uniformly.There is one in each recording room, carefully packed in a wooden protective box.

Recorded wiretap reports were sent to the clerk's office, where they were transcribed and typed.Printing is done with several heavy Chinese typewriters.They didn't bring it from the old time and space, but a local imitation, because the material is not very good, and it is made more stupid than the original.However, in terms of typing speed, the indigenous typists quickly proved that they were much better than the chief.

In order to save the life of the equipment, the Political Security Bureau only installed bugs in a few places.Although the location of the installation is kept secret, the veterans can basically guess that there must be bugs in the commercial hall, the county government, the county school and Molixuan, and the small teahouse opposite the county government is full of bugs.The East Guest House of Runshitang can also monitor at any time.

Whether it is Yang Shixiang, or the honored guests of Runshitang who live in it, no one knows that there are mezzanines and secret passages in this house that they don't know about.Listening equipment is installed in the mezzanine walls whenever required.

99% of bug reports are useless.Among the useful materials, those related to civil comments were bound into volumes and handed over to the Propaganda Department for reference; those related to complaints against grassroots workers and corrupt bureaucrats were handed over to the Cheka; those related to general crimes were handed over to the national police... and finally involved State” wiretapping report to the Investigation Department of the State Administration for processing.

Even if it is common gossip content such as parental short stories, as long as keywords are involved, it must be handed over to a special team for processing.These keywords are mainly Ming officials such as county magistrates, local landlords, and the names of pirates who are active nearby.These people have files in the State Administration of Political Science and Security, and the conversations involving them are classified into their respective files according to the category of "rumors".

Regardless of the outcome, the original manuscripts of all reports must be kept on file.Zhao Manxiong repeatedly emphasized in the work meeting: To do a good job in security work, the first thing is to establish a complete data database.

Wufo flipped through these reports, and first took out the report from the East Guest House of Runshitang—the arrival of Li Luoyou made the surveillance of the East Guesthouse of Runshitang rise from "general attention" to "key attention".

He watched for a few minutes, frowning.This master Han said something with bad intentions!Obviously he doesn't intend to let this deal go through!He hurriedly asked for a call from the Ministry of Commerce.

"The commercial department is off work. Do you want me to transfer to the duty room?" The lady on the phone spoke Mandarin with a sweet voice and an accent.

"Oh, no need!" Only then did Wufo realize that it was midnight, and it was impossible to discuss any business.

However, if the news is delivered before work tomorrow, Li Mei still has a chance to readjust, including the transaction conditions.This transaction is led by Wu De, and the relationship between the first deputy director and Wu De seems to be not shallow.Ufo didn't dare to neglect, picked up the phone and dialed Wu De's number.

slow!He felt something was wrong in his heart. This matter was Wu De's idea, but there were many people who opposed it.It would be too naked to report directly to him.

Thinking of this, he decided not to call Wu De, but Li Mei.She is the direct responsible leader of this transaction, and she is also very interested in this transaction. She will definitely communicate with Wu De and come up with a new plan to save this transaction.

From a business point of view, this process is in line with the procedure, and no faults can be caught.

However, her phone was turned off.Li Mei is nearly [-] years old, sleeps very lightly, and will not sleep with his mobile phone on—unless he is notified to do so.

He immediately took care to seal the report and put it in the mail room.It was written on the envelope that it was copied to Li Mei from the Ministry of Commerce.

"Urgent!" He stamped a stamp and handed it to the clerk, "Delivery is only at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Wufu didn't know it at this time, but Li Luoyou had already made it clear to Liu San that he didn't plan to buy equipment from the gun factory that evening, and the Planning Institute had already canceled the order.

After Li Luoyou heard Master Han's words, he realized with horror that he hadn't thought about it very well: what will happen to the relationship between the government and Australians in the future?
The government now acquiesces in their existence, but it won't acquiesce forever.Li Luoyou knew too well the relationship between the government and the various Europeans who came to Daming with the purpose of making a fortune.Europeans always hope to occupy a stronghold on the coast of China to do business nearby for a long time. The local government will ignore it at first, and when the incident becomes serious and the local government can no longer cover it up, they will have to send troops to drive them away.

Generally speaking, until now, except for the Portuguese, there has not been any group of foreigners who can occupy the coastal area for a long time.Although the Dutch claimed to occupy a place in Taiwan, they were driven out of Penghu after all.

This pimple has been lingering in his mind.It was a headache for him.He decided that until the relationship between the Australians and the government became clear, he would try to get involved as little as possible-the Australians would just walk away, but he was dragging his family and he couldn't run away if he wanted to.

In the end, he decided that he didn't need to be so anxious to serve the country loyally, lest he would be called an "Australian minion" or a "profiteer" in time, and he would have to pay a lot of filial piety to the Guangdong government to pass the test.

After Liu San knew that the deal was blown, his first reaction was unbelievable.Then he saw Master Han's extremely calm face - there was no expression on it, but Liu San felt that he was laughing at him.

He didn't know whether he should write the fact that Master Han came to visit and asked him for a bribe and was rejected in the report.He had a feeling that by writing the report he was likely to be the scapegoat for a failed deal.

That day, he did not report the situation of soliciting bribes to the higher authorities in time. If he were to be held accountable, he would obviously be the first person responsible—even though no one in the time travel group would agree to such a bribe.

Liu San's mood suddenly became very bad. After thinking twice, he decided to omit this part in the report, and only wrote the report that Mr. Han came to visit and asked him to reduce the price.Not being able to lower the price was an instruction from above, and he faithfully implemented it.Anyway, Mr. Han himself would not say anything about extorting bribes.

Although Li Luoyou's arms deal was not completed, both parties were generally satisfied with the transaction.On the one hand, more money is always better, on the other hand, two supply channels have been obtained.Li Luoyou's supply price is cheaper than Gao Ju and Huang Shunlong's.Especially bulk cargo.

The most important thing is that Li Luoyou has agreed that as long as they need, he can arrange for them to go to Jiangnan and provide necessary assistance.

However, this kind of assistance can only be done secretly, not on the bright side.

As for the capital, it is inconvenient to go there for the time being. As for the reason, Li Luoyou told them very clearly: the accents of the crossing people are too strange.

"It's better to change this accent. The words of the nobles seem to have a Liaodong accent, which is too noticeable in the capital." There are many investigations in the capital, and all trivial matters will be reported to the East Factory. In case he was questioned by someone with nothing to do, he couldn't afford the risk.

As for going to Liaodong, Li Luoyou said that it would be fine if he went to see and do business, but he couldn't bear this responsibility if he had to stay permanently.

"The life of the Han people on the Tartar ground is very difficult! Even Fan Wencheng, a pseudo-academic who has made great contributions to the Tartars, was almost slaughtered by the old Tartars just because he is a Han. You are so attention-grabbing, you absolutely cannot stay."

Speaking of the situation of the Han people in Liaodong, Li Luoyou couldn't help sighing again. He talked about the suffering of the Han people in Liaodong, and finally talked about the plunder of the customs that broke through last year, and more than [-] men and women were plundered from the customs. How much survived.

"The general is incompetent, and the people suffer! The people eat chaff and vegetables, sell their sons and daughters to pay the imperial grain and national tax, and they are fed by such a bunch of trash!" Li Luoyou has changed from admiration to Governor Yuan to hatred.Cursing endlessly in the words.Liu San thought that regardless of whether Yuan Chonghuan died unjustly or not, at least the public opinion at the time was extremely unfavorable to him.

"...the Tartars have no food to feed these many people!" Li Luoyou said angrily, "When the old Tartars were alive, they didn't have enough food to eat, so they simply killed the Han people. Huang Taiji became a pseudo-raid, which can be regarded as lenient to the Han people , but the food is still not enough—"

There was not enough food, so they offered a high price to buy from the customs. A stone of rice was willing to pay ten taels or even a dozen taels, which was several times more expensive than that in the Central Plains.Unusable women and children were sold directly to Mongolia for cattle and sheep.

He has personal pain, and he has been doing business in Liaodong for a long time. He has witnessed the tragic situation of the Han people and captives in Liaodong, but he is powerless, and it is extremely painful to say it.

Li Luoyou vented a bit, thinking that he was in Lingao, talking about what to do with a group of overseas people, they were not subjects of Ming Dynasty at all.Immediately stop talking.He cupped his hands and said, "I lost my composure, forgive me! Forgive me!"

Thinking that since the Tartars are eager to sell the captives because they have no food, they can buy them.Women and children are not needed by the Tartars, and the Mongols are not willing to pay high prices, but Lingao needs it very much.At the Liu work conference where Li Luoyou came, there was also discussion about buying the population of Liaodong.

"In this matter, we are willing to relieve the suffering of the people." Liu San said.

"Oh? What do you think?"

"The Tartars can't feed these many people, they want to sell them, I'll just go and buy them—"

Li Luoyou's eyes lit up.Mr. Liu is right. Australians always think of themselves as Chinese descendants no matter what.Lingao is also the territory of Ming Dynasty.Going to Lingao is a hundred times better than falling into the hands of the Mongols.However, he shook his head again:

"This is difficult!" he warned, "Tartars are terrible! Young and middle-aged men are never willing to sell, only women, children, old and young... With my thin face, I can still get a dozen young and old men at once. , a large number of difficult."

He didn't go on. After all, Australians don't simply do good deeds, so they might spend a lot of money traveling thousands of miles to bring back many women, children, and children who can't do heavy work.

"We also want women, children, old and young. We save every one." Liu San pretended to be the embodiment of justice. Women, Lingao is a gender imbalance. Bringing more women back can balance the gender. Besides, there are women in the light industry. It is very useful; as for children, they are the favorite human resources of the time-traversing people-there is nothing easier to accept new things than children with strong hatred.

"The third master is so righteous." Li Luoyou praised him enthusiastically, "However, the most important thing for the Tatars is ironware and food. I see that there are also 31 kinds of goods purchased by Guizhong. I think they are not enough. How can I go there if I have spare energy? Redemption? I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

"Just food and iron?" Liu San was immediately poured with cold water, and he asked hopefully, "Can you sell other things?"

"Although Huang Taiji is a Tartar, his knowledge is not bad." Li Luoyou said, "The merchant transports goods in and sells them. He only welcomes goods that are related to the people's livelihood and the country. Food and iron are the best, and cloth and satin are also fine. Just like you These glass mirrors and other things that are purely for enjoyment are afraid that they will be ordered to be banned once they are brought in."

"So that's how it is." Liu San thought it was tricky.If it involves the export of strategic materials, it has to be approved by the Executive Committee, "That's another matter."

"If you have such intentions, Li is willing to match up."

"Thank you, Master Li!"

The two parties agreed that within the next three months, he would arrange for several veterans to secretly go to Liaodong for on-the-spot investigation to see if it was possible to buy a large number of captives from Liaodong.

The two sides used Li Luoyou's semicolon here as the contact point, and Gu Baocheng was the contact person.In addition to the channels, the two parties will not make other contacts.Li Luoyou showed a pair of monogrammed ox horn stamps. The two stamps can be combined into one or divided into a pair.He leaves one.

"As long as there is a letter or a message, use this monogram as evidence. Seeing a chapter is like seeing a person."

In order to keep confidential in his daily business, he used this method to communicate with all parties.It is not recognized as a simple and effective method.In addition to Sao Ye, there are two confidantes in his inner and outer study rooms to keep these ox horn stamps with different monograms for him. As for who each stamp corresponds to, only he knows.

There is no direct benefit to Li Luoyou to buy the captives, and it may not be able to be done, but it still makes him feel more at ease.Favorability towards Australians has also increased.

Li Luoyou will continue to visit Lingao in the next few days.Wu Nanhai's intensive farm left a deep impression on him.Then he visited the Catholic Church in Dongmen City—he only knew there was a church here by accident—and on the way he saw someone hanging a wooden cross.After asking, I found out that there was already a church here.So at his request, the visit to the church was temporarily increased.

In Dongmen City Church, he was warmly welcomed by Wu Shimang and others.Although Li Luoyou always had an indescribable feeling of awkwardness towards this Australian priest.This person has a dignified appearance and decent manners, much more decent than that smelly German priest who doesn't like to take a bath in Ma Yangchun, but he really can't feel that this person is a priest in his conversation.

On the contrary, Priest Bai looked a little better.Li Luoyou had a good impression of the Australians allowing the church to build a church here, and was even more surprised to hear that a monastery was established here. It seems that Australians have a heart of reverence for God.

The church is not big, with a pointed roof, a small bell tower, and long glass windows on the walls.The building is simple and beautiful. Li Luoyou had a good impression of this church, and immediately donated a circulation coupon equivalent to 100 taels.Wu Shimang expressed his gratitude and gave him a Chinese version of "Catechism", which is an introductory book for Catholics. The book is extremely beautifully printed and beautifully bound.Li Luoyou was greatly rewarded, and immediately donated another 100 taels of silver for printing this book.And expressed willingness to purchase [-] copies.
