Chapter 167 Wei Ping’s little plan

When Li Nai heard the sound, he raised his head and looked at the queue next to him, and unexpectedly saw a few familiar people - Wei Ping and his friends, whom he had met at the Inspection Department yesterday, were also queuing up here to get breakfast. Looking around, no one was paying attention.

, Li Nai winked at He Qiang, and the two of them silently changed the queue and went behind Wei Ping and others. Yesterday, they had many questions about the Inspection Department, but with Schneider always watching, it was not convenient for them to talk to him.

Wei Ping communicated alone.

Li Nai and He Qiang once thought that these people from the Inspection Department had been placed under house arrest by the Haihan people, but now it seems that it is not that serious. These people can still enter and leave the small courtyard freely, and no one is monitoring them around.

"It's early for inspection, Wei!" Li Nai pretended to greet Wei Ping.

When Wei Ping saw that it was the two businessmen who had come to the Inspection Department yesterday to give gifts, he nodded in response. He had no intention of dealing with these foreign businessmen now. All he could think about was how to get the Haihan people to give him a higher degree of freedom of movement.

, at least to break through the existing scope of activities of "within thirty feet around the inspection department".

On the first day that Wei Ping and his subordinates arrived at Victory Port, they were placed under house arrest by the Haihan people in the small courtyard of the Inspection Department. Not only were sentries on duty around the small courtyard around the clock, but even three meals were served from outside.

After being sent in, there was no chance to go out for activities. It was only then that Wei Ping realized that his brother-in-law had found a tricky job for him.

Fortunately, the Haihan people are kind-hearted and do not skimp on living conditions. Although the three meals are not very delicious, at least they are enough and they can have a meaty meal the next day. The housing was quickly changed from tents to

Although the cabin still looked a bit crude from the outside, seeing that the Haihan people actually installed glass windows in the cabin, Wei Ping felt that he had nothing to complain about - the two sets of glassware at his brother-in-law's house were all made of sea glass.

It was given by the Han people, and he usually kept it like a treasure. His two young nephews would not even touch it. If he knew that he actually lived in a house with glass windows here, I don't know.

What kind of expression will it have.

Of course, in addition to this, the financial rewards promised by the Haihan people are the focus of Wei Ping and others. Everyone can get double the original salary, and there is also a full fifty taels of "Yulin Inspection Department Special" every month.

"Office expenses", this amount of money alone amounted to 600 taels a year! After a simple discussion, everyone decided that Wei Ping would get half of the money alone, and the remaining half would be divided equally among the other twelve subordinates.

However, although the plan was good, it could not catch up with the changes. In the middle of the night on the fifth day after arriving in Victory Port, a guy tried to escape from the small courtyard, but was caught by the night watch team leading a big black dog. The next morning

A Haihan leader named Ren came from the labor camp and had this unfortunate guy taken away. He will complete three months of hard labor in the labor camp - of course he will not receive any compensation during this period.

Ke Na. The Haihan leader named Ren also said that because the Inspection Department made such a fool of himself, half of the "special office funds" for the first month will be directly deducted. If a similar situation occurs again, it will be deducted.

Drop them all.

Someone asked extravagantly what would happen if there was a third incident? The leader smiled sinisterly and replied that if this happened a third time, everyone in the inspection department would be sent directly to the labor camp without explanation.

So for the sake of everyone's interests, the remaining people were much more comfortable from now on. Wei Ping found that many people would even remind each other that the current living situation is nothing worth complaining about, and do not have any deviant thoughts and stay here well.

In two or three years, you can buy a house or land after returning to Yazhou. This group of people stayed in the yard every day, watching the Haihan people direct the people to build roads and build houses.

Of course, when a group of new immigrants comes to the port, this group of people will stand behind the fence of the small courtyard to watch, and bet on whether some of the new immigrants will be arrested and sent to a labor camp for disobeying orders on the dock.

Go. Wei Ping's vision is higher than that of these subordinates. As the immigrants arrive one after another, his heart sinks little by little - the more people here, the more Haihan people there are.

The power of the country is getting stronger and stronger, and the possibility of this place returning to the Ming Dynasty is getting smaller and smaller.

The name of the Inspection Department has no influence at all in this place. As far as Wei Ping and the locals they can come into contact with, whether they are militiamen on duty or ordinary workers delivering meals, they all have the reputation of "

"Executive Committee", no one cares about the official attitude of Yazhou towards this place. This is also a scene that Wei Ping has never seen in other places in Yazhou. In this case, they want to take advantage of these local

It has become a very impractical idea for people to deliver news to Yazhou. If this must be done, it is probably more likely that the news will reach the ears of the Haihan people directly.

One month later, there were no further problems with the Inspection Department, and the Executive Committee distributed half of the "special office funds" to them as promised - of course, this money was also distributed in the form of circulation coupons. They

I was told that these circulation coupons could be exchanged for silver of equivalent value only when leaving Port of Victory in the future.

But this is actually not important, because they have no need to spend money here. The Haihan people are responsible for all the food, clothing and housing. As for the business, they can't go anywhere even if they are locked up in the yard. And the things the Haihan people sell to the outside world are

There are only salt and glassware, and even these two items are only sold to merchants, not retail investors at all - even if they buy them, they can't ship them out.

In view of the good performance of the people in the Inspection Department, the Executive Committee finally agreed to give them more space for activities, but still limited the scope to "within a distance of thirty feet around the Inspection Department." As for within this thirty feet distance

The only thing I can do is basically go to the canteen stall outside the gate of Base 1 to get my meals three times a day.

Although the scope of activities is pitifully small, everyone in the inspection department cherishes this hard-won opportunity. Even Wei Ping, who always likes to send his men to work, has changed his habit and queues up to receive three meals in person every day, even in the morning

The same was true for this meal. Wei Ping would go out to eat breakfast every day before returning to the small courtyard of the Inspection Department to continue sleeping.

This is of course also one of the management methods of the executive committee. Allowing these people to walk around the area outside the yard every day and chat with other people can at least make them feel that they are not prisoners of this place and gradually reduce their hostility.

and resistance consciousness, it will be much easier to brainwash their consciousness and culture through various details of life. In this regard, there are already examples of Luo Shengdong and others, and the Executive Committee believes that these people in the Inspection Department

Nor can they show any more integrity than the Ming Navy.

Such a subtle effect still has a certain effect. At least Wei Ping's own hostility towards the Haihan people has weakened a lot compared to the beginning. He found that these Haihan people did not have the usual faces of the superiors, and everyone seemed very peaceful.

, and being able to get along with ordinary people on an equal footing is something that is absolutely impossible for the gentry or wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, these Haihan people did not show any obvious hostility towards outsiders like the Inspection Department. Occasionally, someone would even ask him, "

Questions like "How long can I get a meal of meat when I'm in Yazhou?" or "How many wives do people in the Ming Dynasty usually marry?" and other questions that made him laugh or cry.

Wei Ping was not surprised at all that merchants from Guangzhou finally appeared in Victory Port. He knew that with the Haihan people's ability to do business, it was only a matter of time before they would traffic glass products and refined salt to the mainland. What's more, the Haihan people had always been

The docks on the seaside are constantly being expanded, certainly not just to dock their limited number of sea-going ships. After living here for a long time, Wei Ping has slowly seen that the Haihan people have many long-term plans for this place.

We don't just plan to use this place as a place to stay.

The ever-expanding seaport terminal is only one aspect. Wei Ping noticed that the Haihan people spent a lot of effort on repairing the not-too-long road from the port to Base No. 1, using a kind of plaster to pave the entire road very smoothly.

Street trees have also been planted, and flower beds and seats have been arranged. And that's not all. On both sides of the road, workers have begun to level the ground under the command of the Haihan people. It seems that there are still some projects to be carried out.

Some people in the Inspection Department thought that the Haihan people wanted to build private houses to accommodate the increasing number of immigrants. But Wei Ping had a different view on this. New immigrants arriving in Hong Kong would be arranged to live in a camp at the foot of the west mountain for a few days.

Then most of them will be transferred to other places for resettlement. There are not many people staying in Victory Port. The Haihan people do not need to build large-scale houses near the port to resettle the immigrants.

Regarding the next projects that the Haihan people will carry out, Wei Ping believes that they are most likely to be facilities such as warehouses, shops, restaurants and restaurants. Because this road is in an excellent location in Victory Port, if this place really becomes a

For a prosperous port, a large number of foreign merchants and sailors will definitely need places to eat, stay, and shop. The section from the port to the gate of Base No. 1 will undoubtedly be the most prosperous area in the entire port area.

Wei Ping, who is more agile in thinking, has already smelled a business opportunity.

Wei Ping thought that if his guess was true, if he could open a restaurant or the like here, he would certainly not have to worry about running out of business in the future, and the money from maritime merchants was much easier to earn than the money from the poor people in Yazhou. However,

To do this, Wei Ping still has two problems that must be overcome. One is to find out whether his guess is true, and the other is how to convince the Haihan people to allow him to invest here.

Run a business.

Wei Ping came back from his thoughts, looked at Li Nai who was staring at him eagerly, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.
