1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 472 Arrangement of Identity
"Li Qingyang, did you understand what I just read?" Hao Wanqing asked in a deep voice.

Although Li Qingyang only understood three or four out of ten, and more than half of the content is not clear, but the strong desire to regain freedom has firmly controlled his emotions at this time, and immediately nodded automatically when he heard the words: "Clear, clear, the subordinates should obey Director Hao's arrangement."

Hao Wanqing was also quite satisfied with Li Qingyang's attitude, nodded and said, "Come with me, I still have some specific things to explain to you."

The detention area of ​​the Ministry of Security is located in the deepest part of this small valley. Although there are only less than twenty cells, a 30-foot-high wall is still built around it with logs to separate the cells from the interrogation. The prisoner's interrogation room is enclosed in it.Since Li Qingyang was escorted to Sanya, he has been imprisoned in this small space, and he can only spend a very short time outdoors every time he is interrogated—that is, he goes back and forth between the prison cell and the interrogation room. This is only a short distance of [-] meters.

Finally got rid of the shackles on his body and walked out of the cell, breathing the air of freedom again, Li Qingyang's mood at this time was undoubtedly the most relaxed moment in a long time.Of course, it would be even better if Hao Wanqing, a Haihan man, was not in front of him. Although Li Qingyang was confident that his strength was better than this Haihan man with a Shandong accent, he knew that if he dared to make trouble here, he might not There would be no chance of escape.Now that he has recovered his freedom, although there are still many restrictions, Li Qingyang knows that he will at least have a chance to leave Sanya alive in the future.

The gate of the detention area is a suspended gate. The guards on duty on the gate tower pushed the winch and slowly raised the heavy iron gate. Li Qingyang followed Hao Wanqing and walked briskly out of the high walled area. courtyard.After walking out of this place, Li Qingyang finally believed that his expectations for the past few days had finally become a reality, and an unknown new life was waiting for him ahead.

When Li Qingyang came, his head was covered before getting off the boat, and he had never left the detention area since then, and it was only at this time that Li Qingyang finally saw that the place he was in was really in a valley, not far ahead There was a dusty building, Hao Wanqing pointed there and said, "That's the Haihan Security Department."

"Li Qingyang, your original mission was to come to Sanya to lurk. In order to allow you to continue to perform the mission as a Jinyiwei, we have arranged for you to work as a warehouse accountant according to the situation you explained during the interrogation process." After entering the office, Hao Wanqing explained to Li Qingyang the next arrangement for him in a concise manner.

This arrangement did not exceed Li Qingyang's expectations. Ever since Yan Chujie mentioned that he should continue to maintain his identity as a Jinyiwei and continue to perform the original latent mission, Li Qingyang thought that the Haihan people would definitely arrange for him a less annoying one in advance. People pay attention, but the identity is under the control of the Haihan intelligence agency.In this way, Li Qingyang could stay in Sanya in a reasonable manner, and at the same time, he could make preparations for continuing to accept the follow-up instructions from the Nanjing Town Fusi.

"This is your temporary ID card. At this stage, your range of activities is limited to the Shengli Port business district. Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the designated activity area for you at will, understand?" Hao Wanqing put an ID card in front of Li Qingyang while talking.

Although Li Qingyang didn't know how big the so-called scope of activities the other party had set for him, no matter how bad it was, it was definitely better than being detained in that narrow and dark cell, so he agreed without hesitation.

"If you need to do something, we will send someone to notify you to do it. If you are not asked to do it, you'd better not be too busy. Do you understand what I mean?" Hao Wan counted Li Qingyang's words.

"This subordinate understands, please rest assured Director Hao." Li Qingyang was also from the yamen, so he naturally knew what Hao Wanqing was referring to.Even if he still has other small thoughts now, he will definitely not take the risk of implementing it at this moment.

"Starting from today, come back here to report once every seven days. Someone will tell you what to do about other things." Speaking of this, Hao Wanqing shook the bell on the table, and the subordinates outside immediately came in to listen to his orders.

"Take him to Lin Nan and let Lin Nan take over his affairs." After Hao Wanqing finished his orders, he said to Li Qingyang, "Okay, you can go out now."

Li Qingyang cupped his fists and left Hao Wanqing's office with the staff member.

Lin Nan, who was in charge of taking over this matter, belonged to the field service department of the Ministry of Security. Before that, he had also participated in the task of searching foreign ships and arresting Jinyiwei's spies in the Sanya port area.Of course, since Li Qingyang and his party were targeted and trapped by the Ministry of Security in Guangzhou, the local arrest work in Sanya was futile in the end.

As a member of the security department, Lin Nan was very clear about the arrest process of Li Qingyang and others, so when he saw Li Qingyang, he inevitably had a strange expression on his face.Not enough, Li Qingyang himself has no grievances. After seeing Lin Nan, he also clasped his fists and said, "Brother Lao Lin will take care of him!"

Lin Nan said with a smile: "From now on, we are all colleagues. Brother Li, you don't have to be polite. Brother Li has just arrived and is not familiar with the local situation. In the past two days, I will introduce the local customs and customs to Brother Li. There are many things that need special attention. place. Brother Li, please!"

The two left the security department together, changed into the black carriage exclusive to the security department at the outer gate, and drove all the way to the outside of Victory Fort.After getting off the car, Li Qingyang, like all outsiders who saw the true face of Victory Fort for the first time, was immediately shocked by this strange and majestic castle.

Lin Nan was no stranger to this, and introduced to Li Qingyang: "This is the power center of Haihan, Victory Fort, where all the chiefs usually handle official business."

Li Qingyang's ears were pricking up, but his mind was silently estimating the strength and difficulty of attacking the castle.Although this fortress wall is far inferior to the tall Nanjing City Wall, the row of black gun muzzles on the top of the wall is very conspicuous.Li Qingyang slipped over at a glance, and found that there were already more than ten artillery emplacements on this section of the fort wall as far as he could see. This kind of firepower was almost unheard of in the state capital of Daming.He had heard for a long time that Haihan was rich in firearms, and judging by this posture, his reputation was not just blown out.And the fort wall is concave and convex, not as straight as the city wall in Li Qingyang's mind, but it is obviously a specially constructed shape, which made him unable to figure out the function of this strange defensive wall for a while.

Lin Nan saw that Li Qingyang stood still as if his legs were rooted after he got out of the car, so he immediately said: "You can't come and go here casually, if you have a chance in the future, brother Li will naturally go in and see what's going on."

Li Qingyang really wanted to go into this Fort of Victory to see what was going on inside, and to see what kind of environment these Haihan people planned such a new society that was completely different from that of Ming Dynasty.However, he also knows that his current identity is still relatively sensitive. As long as the Haihan people are not crazy, they will not allow him to visit, so Li Qingyang nodded indifferently to Lin Nan's persuasion: "I see this fortress, it is indeed terrible. Calling Xiongqi, a little lost his mind."

Lin Nan replied: "If you stay here for a long time, you will gradually discover that there are many magical things here. Every day, a large number of new immigrants stand on the pier and lose their minds. For newcomers, this kind of The reaction is normal."

Li Qingyang did not believe this. Although Sanya had a good reputation, it must be better than ordinary small ports in the south, but how could there be so many distracting things?Could it be that even the pier is paved with huge Haihan mirrors?
While talking, the two of them had arrived at the main gate of Victory Fort facing south. Facing this gate was the Victory Square covering an area of ​​nearly [-] acres and the landscape avenue leading directly to the port area. On the left and right sides of the landscape avenue were The first locally developed Victory Harbor business district.

The architectural style here really made Li Qingyang feel very novel. First of all, the avenue was two feet wide, with neat street trees planted on both sides, drainage ditches and pedestrian passages.On the middle avenue, there are mainly all kinds of vehicles that pull people and goods, and they come and go on one side, which seems very orderly.Just judging from the number of vehicles passing on the road, Li Qingyang thinks that the prosperity here is no less than that of the Pearl River Wharf outside Guangzhou.And besides all kinds of common horse-drawn carts and ox carts, Li Qingyang also saw someone riding a small cart with two wheels side by side speeding past on the road, it was like juggling.

Li Qingyang noticed that the road surface of this avenue was not paved with loess or stones, but a blackened material. The whole avenue looked very smooth, and there was no dusty scene when vehicles passed by.On the road, there are some people carrying bamboo baskets, constantly cleaning up all kinds of garbage and dirt on the road.

Most of the buildings on both sides of the road are made of bricks and stones, and most of them are three to five storeys. Half of the shops facing the street are restaurants and hotels. On the contrary, there are only a very small proportion of commercial shops, which is different from Li Qingyang's before coming here. It is expected that there is a certain gap.He originally thought that since Sanya is known as the No. [-] commercial port in Qiongzhou, the streets must be lined with shops selling all kinds of groceries from the north and the south. He never thought that the catering business here would be so prosperous.

In fact, there were not many places to eat in the Shengli Port Business District at the beginning, and the Li family invested money to open a restaurant here, which was dedicated to serving Haihan people and naturalized cadres.However, with the increasing prosperity of the local area, the habit of Haihan people who like to talk about business at the dinner table and solicit favors gradually spread, so that merchants who later entered here often made investing in restaurants as their first choice to gain a foothold in the local area.So today, there are more than 30 restaurants of various cuisines gathered on both sides of this scenic avenue, which is only more than one mile long. Some people in Haihan have even dubbed this landscape avenue "Victory Food Street".

The two walked along the avenue for a while, and Lin Nan led him into a side road.The vast majority of foreign merchants set up local business posts, but due to cost considerations, they are not located in the area adjacent to the landscape avenue, but in such a branch road.For example, the "Landscape Avenue Jiasan Road" that Lin Nan took Li Qingyang to enter, is full of various shops, warehouses, and commercial warehouses set up by Lingnan merchants here.

Lin Nan went into a shop with the words "Fuji Medicine Shop" hanging on it with ease. Li Qingyang figured that this was probably where he was staying, so he followed in hastily.

"He Guanshi, long time no see, how have you been?" After Lin Nan entered, he greeted an old man behind the counter who was sitting on a relaxing chair.

As soon as the old man saw Lin Nan, he immediately stood up and came out to greet him: "Master Lin, long time no see! Thanks to the chiefs, my body is in good condition recently!"

The manager of the pharmacy who was familiar with Lin Nan was actually an old acquaintance of Hai Han.When Li Nai, the third young master of "Furuifeng", visited Shengli Port for the first time, it was He Qiang and the steward who accompanied him. After the establishment of "Golden Shield Escort", Li Nai was transferred back to Guangzhou by Li Jifeng, and he came to Sanya less often, but the Li family's interests in Sanya had to be guaranteed by a permanent manager. Okay, so He Qiang, who was over sixty years old, took the initiative to apply for this task, and it was right to come to Sanya to retire.

The Li family invested in many types of businesses in the area under the Haihan rule, and medicinal materials were one of them.Although there were a large number of finished Western medicines in the materials purchased during time travel, these medicines all had shelf life issues, and the two doctors with the highest level of Chinese medicine in the group were both Western medicine doctors. It can be said that after the past few years, all of them The medical methods at your disposal will be limited by drugs.Therefore, from the very beginning of time travel, the Executive Committee began to arrange the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, gradually moving towards the direction of excessive medical development of traditional Chinese medicine, and medicinal materials are naturally an indispensable and important resource.

"Fuji Pharmacy" is also one of the many industries invested by "Fu Ruifeng" in Sanya. Since the main supply target of this shop is Haihan people, the business is relatively stable and there is no too busy time, so congratulations Qiang chose this shop to sit in the township, and he can enjoy a leisurely time at ordinary times.

When the Ministry of Security considered what kind of store to arrange for Li Qingyang, it first thought of the many local businesses of the Li family.As the loyal partner who has the deepest cooperation with Haihan and has always obeyed Haihan's various orders, the Li family has undoubtedly the highest credibility. Arranging Li Qingyang in the Li family's property, you can tell him without any trace. Long-term monitoring of his behavior can subtly influence Li Qingyang's thoughts through daily operations.Another factor to consider is that Li Qingyang should not have too much contact with the outside world. A shop with a single business like "Fuji Pharmacy" is obviously perfect.
