Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 396 Interest Issue

"I don't know—" Wan Lihui wondered if that fifteen or sixteen-year-old rural girl had taken a fancy to me?What if Fu Buer proposes to marry his daughter to him?Whether to agree or not, it seems that the executive committee has not stipulated whether it is allowed to marry an indigenous woman. Speaking of which, the appearance of this Fu Yijin is not bad, but it is a black spot, but it must be a virgin in this time and space...

"What are you thinking about?" Fu Xi's voice interrupted Wan Lihui's divergent thinking, "Sister Yijin just said that you work hard and teach everyone a lot, so you are not a liar."

"That's right." Wan Lihui felt a little disappointed, but this showed that his strategy was still successful, and the Fu family now had a good degree of trust in him.

So he wooed the Fu family's domestic children and children more and more, knowing that they didn't eat well on weekdays, he left the leftover rice for each meal and wrapped it in lotus leaves, and waited for Fu Xi to collect the dishes before looking for a chance to eat the rice. For her, when resting in the field on weekdays, she often distributes the dry food she brought in her backpack to everyone.Under his efforts to win over, Wan Lihui's reputation in the Fu family has grown day by day, and he can do everything smoothly.

However, Fu Buer's attitude towards him is still indifferent. Although it does not violate his opinion at all, he is not very confident whether the deterrent effect of the crossing group can continue after he leaves.

Wan Lihui thought, the key is to match what he likes.What is Fubuer most lacking now?Naturally, it was money—the Fu family was not waiting for money to be used, but he seemed to have a rather obsessive hobby for possessing more money.He knows that Fu Buer has tried to grow cash crops several times, and now he still raises ducks, which shows that he has a great desire for money.One time when he was enjoying the cool at night, Fu Buer plucked up the courage to ask him to help get back Fu Fu's military salary.

"Chief, you don't know: Fu Fu is my family boy. He eats snacks and wears clothes that I can afford. I raised him until he was eighteen or nineteen years old, so he is his father. Now he is a soldier, but his monthly salary is a penny. I won’t take it back either! This is one tael of silver a month! One tael of silver!”

Thinking of Fu Buer's angry expression when he mentioned Yinzi, Wan Lihui thought this was his weakness.The effect of rice planting will not be seen until autumn. What can I do to help him generate income now?

Ask him to serve vegetables and ducks to the time travel group?Now he is supplying, and the salesman of Quanfu Vegetable Shop will drive a bullock cart to the village every week to buy vegetables, live pigs, chickens, ducks and poultry eggs.

Wan Lihui thought about this nerve-wracking question all night but couldn't figure it out.Whether it is planting or breeding, there is no way to quickly generate benefits.He had thought about helping Fu Buer to engage in the sericulture industry, which he knew quite well, but there were very few local mulberry trees, and if he had to wait until the mulberry trees were planted before he could raise silkworms—it would probably be too long.

It seems that if you want to get rich quickly, you have to rely on industry and commerce.Wan Lihui came to the conclusion that predecessors had drawn countless times.

It's been almost half a month like this.Look at Fu Buer's Erzao rice transplanting is basically over, and some key points of field management have to be taught before heading back to the farm.Prepare to take a break for a few days.

When Wan Lihui returned to the farm, he first wrote a report on the client's economy, population, and ideological dynamics, and then participated in a report meeting on the inspector's guidance to the countryside. After the meeting, he went directly to the General Staff.

Originally Wan Lihui wanted to find Ma Qianzhu, but he wasn't there.After wandering around for a long time, he found someone and asked, "Who is in charge of political and ideological work?"

So he came to the "political office".Wei Aiwen was talking to a few recruits in the office, Wan Lihui had to sit at the door for a while, although the door was closed, he could hear a man crying indistinctly inside.What is this guy doing?Are they physically punishing soldiers, or are they doing something else...

While thinking wildly, the door opened, and two young men wearing the rank of education soldier came out.Although his eyes were red, there was a relaxed look on his face.

Wan Lihui stepped into the political office.Before I could stand still, I heard someone shouting:

"Which team, why did you come in without signing the registration report? Is there any discipline!"

The person who spoke was a half-grown child, wearing an army uniform, looking at him with a serious face, and gestured firmly to ask him to go out.

"What?!" Wan Lihui almost turned his nose out of anger—I composted compost on the farm, scooped river mud in the countryside at the risk of encountering bandits, and transplanted rice seedlings in the fields. That's what the privileged class do.

"Hey, hey, this is the chief—" Although Wei Aiwen didn't know Wan Lihui, he knew that he was a member of the Chuanzhong. Seeing his uneasy expression, he hurried over to smooth things over.

"The chief is not allowed either. You cannot enter the office of the Political Department unless you are invited, and you must register for a visit..." This kid has a lot of backbone, and he doesn't take Wan Lihui seriously at all.

"This one made an appointment with me, you go out first." Wei Aiwen quickly pushed the meticulous little cadet out the door, closed the door, and then turned around and asked:

"you are?"

Wan Lihui saw that the man in front of him, who was only 25 or six years old, was wearing a first-year-style army uniform, which was ironed very smooth.He wears a German officer's belt, and his boots are well polished.My heart suddenly felt disgusted:

"Your place is an important military location, I'd better go out and register first."

"Nothing!" Wei Aiwen hurriedly said, "I am Wei Aiwen, and you are—"

"I'm Wan Lihui from the Council of Agriculture." As he spoke, he sat down on the chair, "I have something to do, and I wanted to talk to the governor. If he's not here, I'll call you directly—at least it's political work. matter."

"There should be a soldier named Fu Fu in the army..." As he spoke, he talked about the situation of Fu's family, and then brought up the matter of Fu Buer's desire for military pay.I hope that the Political Department can coordinate with the middle and let Fu Fu go home with a little military salary every month.

"It doesn't need to be much, just a few hundred dollars means it..."

"This matter is unreasonable." Wei Aiwen disagreed, "Fu Buer is his master, not his father - not even his adoptive father, it is a master-slave relationship. Now that Fu Fu is our soldier, he is no longer His minions. His claim to a share of the army pay is untenable."

"It's true to say that. But Fu Buer feels very disadvantaged now, because Fu Fu was raised by him, and now he is serving as a soldier here. It doesn't count if he has less labor force, and he doesn't get any benefits. In this way I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

"When I joined the army, I should have given [-] kilograms of rice as housing expenses. This landlord is really greedy!" Wei Aiwen expressed contempt for this.

"Greed is for sure, but I think we should satisfy him." Wan Lihui said, "Being able to win the favorability of the other party is very useful for the promotion plan of Tiandihui."

"No, no." Wei Aiwen shook his head, "Whether a soldier remits his military salary to his family is his personal freedom. We have no right to interfere."

"That's why I invite you to do political and ideological work. Aren't you the Political Department..."

Wei Aiwen was very disgusted with this matter, and suddenly he became suspicious: this Wan Lihui is so vigorously fighting for the interests of the landlord Fu Buer.Could it be that he took some bribes when he went to the countryside?However, this landlord even has to make up his mind about the military salary of one tael of silver per month. I am afraid that he will not be able to come up with any money, that is——

The word "sexual bribery" suddenly jumped into his mind.Yes, it must be.In ancient society, women had no status, so they must use their daughters as gifts to make connections... Wei Aiwen's imagination immediately started running: Wan Lihui ate and drank in the hall of the landlord's house, the landlord's daughter came out to persuade him to drink, and then...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but harden his tone: "The ideological and political work of speaking for slave owners is not the job of our Political Department."

"You!" Wan Lihui almost jumped up to look, but when he thought about what Wei Aiwen said, it made sense.He couldn't help but slow down, and pleaded: "This matter is indeed unreasonable, but it will help our work."

"I don't see any use for it—" Wei Aiwen replied stiffly.

"You don't understand the problem here!"

"Isn't he just a greedy landlord?"

"It's not that simple!"

The voices of the two of you talking to each other involuntarily became louder, and the cadets outside the door quickly opened the door and came in.

"Get out, don't come in!" Wei Aiwen was afraid that the sergeant would do something outrageous in a hurry, and he would be blamed.

"Everyone be kind, don't quarrel." Wu De's voice came from outside the door.

Wood came to the Ministry of the Army to coordinate the deployment of labor.The military is currently the most commonly used organized workforce for the labor distribution sector that Wood directs.

"You came just in time, let's judge." Wei Aiwen quickly pulled him in, and explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail.

Wan Lihui also explained the situation of the Fu family and his thoughts.

Wu De smiled: "Xiao Wan, you are very enthusiastic. But this matter is really tricky."

"What's so difficult? We shouldn't care about it at all." Wei Aiwen said angrily, "To win the so-called 'goodwill' of a landlord, forcing soldiers to remit their military salary to the slave owner? What have we become! The landlord's henchmen? "

"Okay, okay, don't go online." Wu De pressed his hand down, "This matter is not big or small, and there may be many similar things in the future."

Daming was not a slave society, but the slavery system existed widely.The deeper they are in this society and the wider the people they contact, the more they cannot avoid this problem.

"In my opinion, it's better not to recognize this slavery system at all..."

"Of course it's easiest not to admit it. But don't forget that immigrants are all contracted slaves of the Transmigration Group—we are slave owners. Since we want to use this slavery system to serve ourselves, we must treat them equally. We can't just allow us to be fireproof, No one is allowed to light a lamp."

"Okay." Wei Aiwen took a slow breath, "You tell me what to do, but I don't agree with this approach."

"Since we want to recognize the slavery system, then Fu Buer's request is reasonable - Fu Fu is his domestic slave. Let him serve as a soldier, exploit his military salary as income, and let Fu Fu be free of charge It's one thing to work for him and exploit his labor."

"It's not the same thing. The risk of being a soldier is high. If you don't do it well, you will be disabled or die. This is not the same as farming and doing odd jobs."

"This is probably considered a high-risk high-reward. It's just that the return was taken away by his master, and he was reduced to the status of a livestock tool. Now Fu Fu refuses to send back the military salary, which means that he has already resisted." Self-awareness is no longer a matter of meekness.”

"How do we handle this?"

"If we ignore it, of course there is nothing Fu Buer can do - although he is dissatisfied with this, it may not necessarily affect the promotion of Tiandihui..."

Wan Lihui just wanted to raise an objection, but was blocked by Wu De:

"Xiao Wan, your intention is good, but this is icing on the cake, not a gift in the snow. If you can help Fu Buer get Fu Fu's military salary, he will naturally be more convinced by you, and it will be easier to do work in the future; if you ignore it at all He, he may not be disgusted with us because of this, and it will affect the promotion of Tiandihui—he can still distinguish the big and small interests."

"There is a lot of opposition in the village, and there are many rumors..."

"Even if you help him get Fu Fu's military salary, you still can't eliminate the rumors, can you? You want to use this matter to reassure Fu Buer's trust in you—it's a good idea, but you have to think more comprehensively," Wu De lit a cigarette, "Of course it is possible for the Political Department to come forward to do Fu Fu's work. But what will Fu Fu think? He will definitely think that we favor the rich—after all, we are bleeding and sweating." It is him, not Fu Buer. Besides, they are the relationship between the master and the slave. Fu Buer feels that he has been kind to Fu Fu in nurturing him. Fu Fu may feel that he has been abused and exploited since he was a child. full of hatred."

"Ah, yes—" Wan Lihui thought that he really hadn't thought about it.

"The so-called buttocks sit on whoever they speak for. Now we have to win over landlords like Fu Buer, and poor people like Fu Fu are our basic strength."

"You mean you don't want to offend..."

"Hehe, what I mean is that you don't need to pay attention to Fu Buer at all." Wu De smiled, "The reason I have already said before - the benefits that Fu Buer gets from us are far greater than that little military salary, so you just pretend not to pay. Listen up. As for how to deal with it in the future, we will come up with another plan."

"I understand." Wan Lihui nodded and left.

This incident also reminded Wu De that there will be more and more similar problems in the future.Since they choose to carry this historical burden temporarily, they have to find a reasonable solution.

"Xiao Wei, please investigate: how many soldiers are currently serving as slaves in the army, and what is the situation, are they sent by escaped slaves or by the head of the family--I see that among the strong men sent by each village, there are people like Fu Fu. I'm afraid there are quite a few people."

"There is a political review form for this, I will ask the computer center to make statistics immediately." ——In order to save the service life of computer accessories, the number of computers equipped in each department has been greatly reduced. Except for a few departments and offices with a few people, every The department has its own computer center to centralize the handling of various affairs.

The computer center quickly responded, and according to the registration in the political review form, there were more than 30 soldiers registered as servants of a certain family in Lingao.There are more registered fugitive slaves, with three or four hundred numbers.

"The information on the political review form may not fully reflect the situation. Some people may conceal the history. It is better for you to ask the monitors to investigate carefully-don't make it too formal to scare people."

After giving instructions, he went to Ma Qianju and talked with him about the problem, hoping to find a solution to solve similar problems.

"Ade, you really need to think about this matter," Ma Qianju said, "In the future, there will be more and more contacts with the aborigines in this time and space, and there must be a formal document to regulate behavior. Except for the slaves you mentioned, There are also adoptions and apprenticeships, and some people have also come to the executive committee to ask what procedures are required to marry an indigenous wife."

In fact, some people have asked if they can buy a servant--the deeds of Chang Shide in Leizhou have spread all over the banks of the Wenlan River, which has aroused the envy of nerds.Since you can't wait for the welfare points for women, it's not bad to buy one yourself, right?Suddenly buying a maid has become a hot topic for everyone recently.

Wu De's face turned slightly red.Chu Yu in his family is still a "concubine whose identity is unknown" and continues to bear the title of "Commune Secretary".

"Let's just enact a law - the "Law on Relations with Indigenous Peoples"? The various relationships, rights and obligations, and how to deal with disputes with the indigenous people are all fixed in the form of legal provisions. It can be done by the judicial office. "

"Let's leave it to the vest. Doesn't he like to make legal clauses. Law club, tsk tsk."

"There is no ready-made book to copy this law. We can first draft a guiding document."

How to guide it?The relationship between Ma Qianjuxiang and the aborigines is complex and involves many aspects.It is not easy to sort out a clue for a while.He had the waistcoat brought in for his advice—he had spent most of his time in the farm café, which the Jurists of the Law Club used as their office.

After listening to their introduction, Vest said: "It will be difficult to create a statute right away. I think it is better to adopt the example for the time being. The example is flexible to use, and can be modified, added, or deleted at any time."

Make a list of the various negotiation incidents that the Traveling Group has encountered so far when dealing with indigenous peoples, and then write down the specific handling methods and reference opinions at that time, and then write the guiding opinions of the executive committee .In this way, you only need to check the example to use it.It is simpler and clearer than obscure legal provisions.

"Let's just talk about the issue of slaves in the army." Wu De told him what happened today. "This kind of thing is very typical: the master sent the slaves to serve as soldiers, and he also got his salary. We should stand Which side is it? I checked: there are more than [-] people in the army who are local slaves, and the head of the family who has the idea of ​​​​Fubuer may not be an exception."
