Chapter 91 Jinyiwei (2)
In He Xi's imagination, he did not expect to be able to meet face-to-face with his counterparts in this time and space so soon. This made him feel excited but also a little regretful.
Like Qiu Yuan, most of the time-travelers only learned part of the information about Jin Yiwei from later film and television works or online novels. These have been modified by countless people, and the dramatic information often makes people only pay attention to it. While seeing the brutality, viciousness and unscrupulousness of the Jinyiwei, they ignored the essence of its existence as a spy organization and secret police agency.
He Xi's employment experience before time travel gave him a very clear understanding of the factory guard system. His colleagues were enemies. He Xi's subconscious had already regarded the factory guard as his opponent, and he was sure that there would be someone who would fight against him. One day, and preparations in all aspects have been ongoing. He Xi was convinced that the espionage team he had built with his professional abilities would be far more capable than the Jin Yiwei, who relied on his flamboyant behavior to make his reputation greater than his strength. But at the moment, everything about the time travel has just begun, and the extremely powerful espionage agency designed by He Xi only exists in his mind. No matter from which aspect, now is definitely not a good time to fight against Jin Yiwei.
Although the sudden appearance of Jin Yiwei disrupted the originally smooth errand, everyone soon recovered their mood. After all, there were more important things waiting for them to do. He Xi had negotiated with Yashang yesterday to start recruiting a large number of people. At this time, the market was already overcrowded and it was a good time to open.
"Dear fellow villagers, overseas merchants are currently recruiting a large number of manpower to open up wasteland and farm fields at a port in the east. The salary will be taken care of by the food, food and accommodation, and the remuneration will not be included. We will only recruit for three days. Those who are willing to go will sign up here!" Na Ya Shang was determined to get back the two coins he had lost, so he stood on the bench and began to make propaganda at the top of his lungs.
"Didn't we agree to recruit people for a long time yesterday?" Zhang Guang said in astonishment.
"This is a publicity strategy! How can you show a sense of urgency if you don't say it like this?" He Xi hugged his arms and watched the performance of the tooth dealer with interest: "Those who used to engage in bankruptcy sales were also shouting for years. The slogan 'The last day', but I just couldn't swallow the last breath."
As soon as the tooth dealer made publicity, many people came up to ask about the specific details, and the tooth dealer explained them one by one according to what the working group had explained beforehand. Seeing the crowd gathering in front of the tooth dealer, Malico quickly sent two rich and powerful people over to help the tooth dealer maintain order. Those who are willing to go will register and pledge at the tooth dealer, and then receive a marked bamboo stick. They will use this bamboo stick to board the boat at the seaside outside Nanshan Town tomorrow.
Zhao Xiaoruo asked puzzledly: "Why should we give out a bamboo chip? Don't we need as many people as we have now?"
"This is a management method." Maliko explained to her: "First, it is convenient for counting the number of people. One bamboo chip is for one person, so that we can notify the base camp to prepare the boat. Second, like the time limit, this is also for the applicants. There is a sense of urgency. There are only dozens of bamboo chips every day, and there will be no more places after receiving them. Thirdly, the labor fee for the dental industry is calculated on a per capita basis. The bamboo chips handed over by the immigrant workers when they board the ship are the same as for us. Proof of bank settlement fee”
Zhao Xiaoruo suddenly understood and nodded and said: "I see. But in this case, will someone use their brains to collude with Ya Xing, send people there, and then let these people escape privately?"
"This trick can only be played once at most. It can only earn us a few taels of silver. If we catch it, we will be sent to a labor camp!" Mu Xiabai said fiercely: "I think so. No one would risk his life for such a small amount of money! ”
Zhao Xiaoruo stuck out his tongue and did not continue talking. She also knew that there were some ruthless characters in the military and police department. These people's views on human life might be very different from her, a medical worker.
Seeing that the sun is getting higher, the queue of applicants is getting longer and longer. It seems that the number of people recruited today is likely to exceed the 100 people expected by the working group in advance.
"If we can recruit a hundred people a day, it will be two to three thousand people a month!" Feng Annan said excitedly while looking at the lively scene in front of him.
"There won't be so many people." He Xi poured cold water on him mercilessly: "Today just happens to be the market, so there are more people. I optimistically estimate that there can be 1,500 people a month." A hundred people or so would be great.”
"There is still a little more than half a year left in this year. It seems that it will be quite difficult to achieve the executive committee's population target of 30,000 by the end of the year!" Qiu Yuan sighed.
"That's not necessarily the case." Maliko shook his head and said: "If we only think of ways from Yazhou, we will never be able to raise 30,000 people anyway. Hainan Island is such a big place, with a population of more than 200,000. We We can’t just focus on Yazhou. Danzhou, Wanzhou, and Qiongzhou are all our targets. Yesterday, Lao He also said that we have negotiated with Yazhou to have Yazhou agents collect migrant workers across the island, waiting for us to sail. As Han’s brand is gradually launched, the scale and speed of the introduction of immigrants will naturally increase. ”
"Let's go, let's go have lunch first." Seeing that it was almost time, Malico called for everyone to retreat. The servant market was progressing smoothly, so all the rich and powerful needed to do was to keep an eye on it.
Because Nancheng Gate is adjacent to Nanshan Town and is the only way to Yazhou from Tianya, Fenghuang and other places, there are many small restaurants inside and outside the city gate. Everyone randomly picked a restaurant that looked relatively clean and refreshing and went in. However, they probably forgot to read the almanac before going out today. After entering, everyone realized that the situation was not good - the group of Jin Yiwei who had just come to the servant market to intercept people were occupying the restaurant. There were two tables for dinner.
It would be too conspicuous to exit at this time. He Xi lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, everyone should sit down first."
After a group of seven people sat down, they ordered a few dishes at random and then kept their mouths shut in a tacit understanding. The Jin Yiwei over there just glanced at them and continued eating and chatting, seemingly not taking them seriously. Everyone let out a sigh of relief when they saw this. Although everyone was not afraid of these Ming agents, it was best not to cause trouble as much as possible. But there are some things that cannot be avoided easily. The general surnamed Gong quickly stood up and walked to their table. He said in a deep voice: "I saw that you all looked very cool when I was in Wei City this morning. I guess you are not. People from Yazhou. I don’t know where you are from. What are you doing in Yazhou?”
Everyone exchanged glances, and finally He Xi stood up and responded: "Your Excellency, we are merchants from overseas. We just come to Yazhou to do some small business."
"Overseas merchants?" Gong Zongqi looked at a few people again, nodded and said: "You are the Haihan people who have been rumored recently."
He Xi was shocked and quickly responded: "I wonder if you have any advice?"
"I heard that you sell the glasses and bowls of 'Anfuhang' and 'Furuifeng' in the city, as well as the silver mirrors that can illuminate people very clearly?" Mr. Gong Qi seemed very casual. asked.
He Xi heard Xiange and knew what he meant, and immediately said: "I heard that hundreds of adults in Qiongzhou Prefecture have moved to their new homes. We would like to present four sets of glasses and bowls and two five-inch silver mirrors, please congratulate them on your behalf."
"You are good at being a good person. What's your surname?" Gong Zongqi showed a smile on his lips. Mr. Gong Qi had an idea of how much these things were worth. He Xi gave away several sets without hesitation. The price was so generous that Mr. Gong, who originally wanted to find an excuse to make a fortune, had no reason to do so. .
"What's your surname? Xi."
"Shopkeeper He is so good at doing business, then I wish you a lot of money in Yazhou!" General Gongqi was obviously satisfied with the respectful attitude shown by He Xi, which made him completely give up the idea of finding trouble.
"Thank you, sir. I will send someone to deliver the things to the Yamen later." He Xi had a harmless smile on his face, seeming to be very satisfied with the result.
When the two tables of royal guards finished eating and left, He Xi got up and rushed to pay the bill. Mr. Gong Qi left with a smile when he went out. It seemed that he was in a good mood.
But when He Xi returned to the table and sat down, her face was as dark as carbon: "It seems that I can't keep a low profile anymore. I didn't hide away even though I tried to hide, but we were still noticed."

"Lao He is still good at acting. He can fool these thugs with just something." Zhang Guang consoled him kindly. He could also see that He Xi was feeling aggrieved by the confrontation just now. After all, it was never a pleasant thing to deal with such blatant blackmail.
"Looking for an opportunity to fuck this guy?" Feng Annan was also a restless master, and his face was already red from holding back.
"No." Mu Xiabai, who was relatively mature and prudent, objected immediately: "It is too dangerous to attack in Yazhou City. It might involve the entire working group."
"How about knocking him unconscious one night and putting him in a sack, and then dragging him out and sinking him into the sea the next day?" Qiu Yuan also helped with the bad idea. It was obvious that he was deeply influenced by Hong Kong gangster movies.
"You don't need to argue. I will not agree to any solution by force." Malik shook his head and said: "I think Lao He would not agree either."
"Lao Ma is right, this guy named Gong can't move now." He Xi quickly recovered from his anger: "From what we observed today, this guy is obviously accustomed to using power for personal gain. As long as we are willing to spend a little money to bribe someone who embezzles property, it should not be difficult to bribe him. It will be nothing more than a show of groveling. But if we kill him, his boss will send someone smarter than him. Is it a good thing for us to come to Yazhou? It’s the lesser of two evils. Keeping Mr. Gong’s flag may not be a good thing for our actions in Yazhou.”
