1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 779
"Coach, the theft case in the camp has been solved. Four criminals were arrested, and the stolen goods were taken. This is a confession." Chen Yixin is still used to calling Anxi by the nickname "coach", but this kind of title is only limited to the traversers. For internal use, Guihuamin would not be so bold.

Anxi quickly looked through the confession, nodded and said, "Good job, if this matter continues, it will affect the mood of the people. Since everyone has been caught, let's go through the procedure."

Anxi’s procedure refers to the judicial procedure, but at present there is no perfect judicial system in Kaohsiung Port. If we really want to follow the judicial procedure, we must first send these people back to Penghu for interrogation. After the sentence, he was sent to serve in a hard labor camp on Hainan Island or elsewhere.

Chen Yixin reminded: "Coach, if you have to go through the process, send it back to Penghu for judgment, and then announce the news here after the result is out. It may take another four or five days. This is not good for calming the emotions of the people, right? "

Anxi pondered for a while, and felt that Chen Yixin's words made sense. These new immigrants came to this undeveloped land. For them, everything in the future is unknown. At this stage, their psychological dependence on Haihan officials is very large. of.If they feel that even basic personal belongings cannot be officially protected, it may indeed cause more anxiety among the public.

"You mean to simplify the process and deal with it on the spot?" Anxi asked rhetorically.

Chen Yixin nodded and said: "According to the previous practice, criminal activities were severely punished in military-controlled areas and during the military-controlled period. I heard from General Qian that when Heitu Port was first opened, there was a public sentence of execution and hanging." The situation of the dead prisoners. Although the thefts that occurred in our camps are not punishable by death, timely and necessary disciplinary measures can still deter the restless and appease ordinary people.”

Anxi thought for a while, and then affirmed Chen Yixin's opinion: "Then why don't you delay it, get off work half an hour early this afternoon, and then hold a public judgment meeting outside the camp."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Chen Yixin got up and saluted Anxi, then said goodbye and left.

In the afternoon, the migrants were gathered on the beach outside the camp, where they were told that a public sentence would be given to the prisoners involved in several thefts in the previous days.Regardless of whether they are watching the excitement or have any other mentality, the people have shown a more concerned attitude towards this.Especially for the hundreds of new immigrants sent from Guangdong, they only know that the functions of the local government here have been completely replaced by Haihan's management organization, and they haven't really seen Haihan's crime fighting methods. This public trial is for them It is also a new experience.

Chen Yixin seized the time in between and temporarily built a four-foot-high platform on the beach using various packing wooden boxes and prefabricated boards for building huts for Anxi to use for his speech.However, it is a little regrettable that there are only a few tweeters in Haihan's inventory. There is no such high-end equipment in Kaohsiung Port, and Anxi's speech can only be amplified with a metal speaker.Fortunately, Anxi also worked at the grassroots level for a period of time after crossing, so he is no stranger to this kind of propaganda method of holding a tin trumpet to make speeches.

"This reminds me of the time when I led people to build the Saltworks Commune five years ago." Anxi took the iron horn from Chen Yixin and tapped it lightly with his fingers: "At that time, I relied on this thing to command my subordinates. Moving bricks, I hadn’t learned the Hainan dialect at that time, they couldn’t understand what they said, and I couldn’t understand what they said, so I was so anxious that my voice became hoarse after a long time.”

"Unexpectedly, we will continue to play this game after five years." Chen Yixin laughed and said, "Wait a minute, if you can't hold your voice anymore, sign for me, and I'll take the stage to replace you."

"It's not that serious, that's fine, I don't think it's too early, let's start!" Anxi put away his smile, nodded to Chen Yixin, and then walked onto the podium.

The appearance of Anxi immediately attracted the attention of the audience sitting on the ground. He has visited various construction sites and immigrant camps several times these days. Everyone recognizes the head of Haihan and knows that his identity is the local parent officer.

"Fathers, folks, Haihan citizens, today, we are holding the Kaohsiung Port Public Arrest Conference here! The Kaohsiung Port Management Committee, the Haihan Militia Troops in Kaohsiung Port, and the Kaohsiung Port Public Security Bureau will investigate the crimes committed in the immigration camp in the near future. Four criminals, including Huang Bingkun, who committed the crime, will be sentenced publicly."

Anxi's voice echoed on the beach. Although there were thousands of people sitting in the dark below to listen, it was all silent at this moment, and no one whispered to each other.Some children tried to run out to play, but were hugged tightly by adults, lest they disturb the order of the venue.

Every few meters around the venue, there was a soldier of the Haihan militia armed with live ammunition. In order to make the scene full, Chen Yixin had already mobilized all the mobile forces at hand.Except for the sailors on standby on several combat ships, all other personnel belonging to the military have been dispatched.

Under the stage where Anxi stood, two rows of soldiers stood densely, separating the stage from the crowd below.Even if there is any change in the field, this guarantee can protect Anxi's personal safety.

"...Lieutenant Colonel Chen Yixin, an officer of the militia, went to the crime scene to investigate in person, pointed out the direction of the investigation of the case, and quickly arrested the criminal, and recovered all the stolen property involved in the previous several theft cases..."

The bridal sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Chen Yixin praised Anxi so highly, of course Anxi did not hesitate to help Chen Yixin improve his existence in his speech.Anxi has been in the bureaucratic system of Haihan for several years, and this kind of tacit understanding does not need to be stated in advance. Naturally, he knows the most appropriate time and method to express it.

"Bring the prisoner up!"

Following Anxi's order, Chen Yixin moved his hand lightly, and the militia soldiers who were ready lifted the four tied up criminals to the stage like chickens, and pressed them to the floor to kneel.

"After investigation, the facts of the crimes committed by Huang Bingkun and other four people are clear and the evidence is sufficient. Their criminal behavior has caused extremely bad effects on the local people. According to the "Regulations on Punishments for Public Security Management in Haihan" and the "Measures for the Administration of the Temporary Military Area", the Kaohsiung After the Hong Kong Management Committee, the Citizens’ Group in Hong Kong and the judiciary unit discussed together, on behalf of Haihan’s Executive Committee and Haihan’s Ministry of Justice, I announced the following disciplinary measures.”

Anxi paused for a moment, seeing that the audience's eyes were focused on him, and then continued to announce: "Huang Bingkun, Zheng Er, and Liao Guan were sentenced to three years and six months of hard labor for the crime of theft; Because he did not directly participate in the criminal activities of theft, he was only punished on the theory of conspiracy and sentenced to six months of hard labor. The above-mentioned criminals will be escorted to serve in a hard labor camp in Hainan immediately."

In terms of the sentence alone, Anxi's sentencing is indeed relatively heavy. For example, if he is caught in Sanya for a petty theft involving a small amount of money, he will usually be sentenced to one to two years in prison at most.However, the timing and location of these unlucky ghosts were indeed wrong. The construction of the new colony had just started, and when the public security organs wanted to make an example of others, they automatically hit the guns.If they wanted to finish their sentence in the hard labor camp, they would have to peel off their skin if they didn't die.

In fact, this judgment did not pass the approval of the Ministry of Justice of Haihan. It can be said that it is actually the result of discussions between Anxi and Chen Yixin. He will temporarily exercise judicial power on his behalf, even if Gu Kai knows about it, there is nothing to criticize.Compared with the personal fate of these little thieves, it is of course more important to maintain the stability of the area under Haihan's rule. As long as it can play a reasonable role in fighting crime, such details will not cause any ignorant Virgin to embrace the law The article cuts out the words.

Chen Yixin made a gesture, and the soldiers on the stage immediately lifted the criminals off the stage again.However, Anxi's speech did not end here. Now that he has created such a momentum, he must make use of the topic to say a few more words.

"...Today's Public Arrest and Public Judgment Conference is a major measure for us to publicly punish crimes, deter crimes, and expand education. , the determination of the militia troops stationed in Hong Kong to protect the lives and property of the people and maintain social stability..."

Anxi is worthy of being a cadre who has been promoted from the grassroots all the way up. These stereotyped slogans come out immediately, and Chen Yixin, who is on the side, feels that even if he is allowed to take on the job of propaganda, it should not feel out of place.

"Ginger is old and hot!" Chen Yixin couldn't help sighing secretly when he heard Anxi's endless propaganda.

If this matter was handed over to Chen Yixin, he probably wouldn't have as much to say as Anxi. After announcing the punishment measures in twos and twos, and pulling the prisoner out to show his face, the matter would probably be over.On the other hand, Anxi can take advantage of the problem and launch a temporary propaganda offensive to turn a bad thing into a good thing, and take the opportunity to preach policies to immigrants. This ability is indeed much higher than him.If Anxi has a few more years of qualifications, maybe he will be qualified to compete for the TOP9 throne when the executive committee is re-elected next time.

Of course, with the statement made by the local parent officials and the publicity, the effect on the emotional comfort of the people will definitely not be bad. After all, the criminal has also been caught, the stolen property has been recovered, and the officer has also stated that he will deal with it seriously. The public probably It's hard to think of a better way to handle it.If there are people who will accuse the management committee and Haihan officials for the theft, then they probably have ulterior motives.

A week after Haihan landed in Kaohsiung Port, Ajiashe received the news and sent an envoy, hoping to meet with the person in charge of Haihan.The envoys of the Aga Society obviously did not expect the scale of what the Haihan people said to "move some people here to build a port". Aga Society.

"Please rest assured that our arrival will not affect the normal life of Ajia Club. We can provide all the commodities your company wishes to trade." Knowing that the other party's intention to come is to seek trading refined salt, rice, and wine from Haihan , pig iron, glassware and other supplies, Anxi also expressed his goodwill to the other party's messenger with a relaxed gesture.

However, the next negotiation made him feel a bit of a headache, because the value of the trading items that Ajiashe can produce is indeed low, only deerskin, venison, fruits, medicinal materials, etc. Hey, Haihan didn't dare to accept it at all. Who knows how these scavenger-like natives deal with these foods.And the value of Haihan's goods that the Ajiashe people want to exchange for these things is obviously much higher than the goods they can provide.

"No, five deerskins can only be exchanged for one bottle of wine." Anxi shook his head and rejected the other party's proposal of exchanging one deerskin for one bottle of wine: "At most, I can give you an extra glass. Adult deer The velvet antlers can be exchanged for a bottle of wine."

Anxi was not worried that the other party would give up the deal in anger because of his counteroffer. After the Haihan people occupied the coast here, the only person Agashe could trade with the outside world was Haihan.And deerskin is also one of the few goods with economic value in their hands, which can be used to make leather clothing, high-end seats, etc., but the tanning process of deerskin is more particular, and refined salt must be used, because large grains of salt will The dermis is damaged during the tanning process, and the Agashe people are not good at making salt, so the deer hides they can provide are basically untanned raw hides, and if the raw hides are not salted and marinated in time, they will soon be damaged. It will rot and lose fur, so it cannot be made into a fur mat.And this kind of unhaired leather will become fragments during the tanning process, and it will also be a defective product after tanning, and its value is naturally limited.Therefore, the qualified trading products Haihan requires must be fresh deerskin that has not been peeled for a long time.

It is not cost-effective to buy refined salt from Haihan people to tan deerskin. It takes at least five or six catties of salt to tan an adult male sika deerskin, and even a large deer needs about ten catties. Even if the price of Haihan refined salt is not expensive , this kind of production cost is also unbearable for the poor Aga community.

But five pieces of fresh deer skins are only exchanged for a bottle of Haihan wine. Even the good-wine Agashe people feel that this kind of trading condition is a bit unfavorable. You must know that hunting five deer may require hunters to go over mountains and mountains for several days. God, after that, it has to be peeled and sent to the outside of the mountain. The toss in the middle is quite big.In the end, Anxi came up with a troublesome but more lucrative solution for the other party, that is, Haihan provided technology to guide Ajiashe to artificially raise deer.In this way, Haihan can purchase venison, deerskin, and velvet as a whole, and it can also ensure that the supply is fresh enough. The purchase price will also be more beneficial to Ajia Society than the current piecemeal transaction.
