Chapter 418 Study Class ([-])

Those who want to keep the ships can continue to lead the fleet.Participating in the newly established joint franchise company of the Foreign Business Committee - Southeast Asia Company, specializing in overseas trade.The chieftains used ships to take stakes.Each one-hundred-ton ship counts as one share, and the same goes for ships over one hundred tons.Vessels below [-] tons will not be accepted.

In addition to carrying out overseas trade activities, the ships participating in the Southeast Asian company must also complete the transportation, combat and patrol tasks assigned by the Ministry of the Navy-the Southeast Asian company is under the dual leadership of the Foreign Business Committee and the Ministry of the Navy.At the level, though, the company's management can participate in enlarged meetings of the executive committee.

After this policy was promulgated, everyone felt that it was acceptable.Although after supplementary personnel and logistical coordination, their private control over the fleet has been greatly reduced.But being able to maintain control of the fleet still makes many people feel more comfortable psychologically.

Most people chose to participate in Southeast Asian companies.Since it is going to go to the far sea, it is useless to keep the small boats, so we can simply pay them all and get some money in exchange.Shi Shishi was different from others, he firmly demanded that all his ships be handed over to the organization, and he didn't want a penny.The only requirement is that I can be a small official like "Chief Qian" in the Ministry of the Navy.Wei Aiwen wondered—why did this pirate leader suddenly become so enlightened? Could it be that he really thought that we could reach Beijing and make him a servant of the dragon?

Lin Dan also handed over his boat without hesitation.He also doesn't want money, but there is a requirement: the crossing group must do its best to help him find the whereabouts of his family members.

"You can give as much money as you want. This is credit." Wei Aiwen said, "As for finding your family members, I will do my best—are we not family anymore?"

Fatty Hu paid all five of his subordinate boats neatly.He asked not to go to sea again--wanted to set up a farm.

"Before I became a pirate, I was a good farmer. If I hadn't been burned by the plague Yang Liuyang Qi, I would not have done this shopping."

"If you didn't do this business, you might have been ruined long ago." Lin Dan said, "You are a country rich man, you are fat."

After some registration and deployment, five of the eleven big and small leaders who brought the boats were willing to hand over all the boats. Among them, Hu Wumei—that is, Fatty Hu, whose parents and elders gave him such a female name because of the difficulty of his children— He expressed his unwillingness to continue to eat this bowl of sea food, and wanted to buy some farms and houses with money to settle down.

"You don't need to buy a farm house. The house is allocated to you by us. How about it, you can be a farmer for us." Wu De, who was beside him, nodded, "There is a school farm outside the gate of the county seat. There are hundreds of people there. There are fewer people in charge of the mu land. You can take your wife, children and relatives to live there. You can also take a few of your personal soldiers with you. "

"Succeed, it's my job to manage a farm." Hu Wumei was quite satisfied with this arrangement, "I still want to buy some fields, okay?"

Wu De nodded and said: "Of course, but we have policies for buying land. You have to wait a little bit—anyway, money is always money if you keep it by your side, and you can't lose it!"

"Okay, okay." Hu Wumei was very satisfied with this arrangement.

Shi Shishi, Lin Dan, Li Guangfa and others are willing to directly join the "navy" of the Australia Group.

The other six people joined the Southeast Asian Company, and they also surrendered some small ships, only keeping the big ones.On average, each person has three to five large ships.

Yan Ming led the people from Delong Grain Company to handle the redemption of the ship on the spot.The measurement units of ancient Chinese ships are relatively complicated. Some are calculated by materials, some are calculated by size, and some are calculated by weight.Yan Ming's cost-effective price is based on the shipbuilding prices of ships of various sizes in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian collected by Guangzhou Station as the basic reference point, and then evaluates the ship's material, state, and accessories.Generally speaking, the price is favorable.In fact, these ships have been drifting at sea for two or three years and have not been repaired, and they are generally in poor condition.

All prices are in silver.Pay the bosses as much.This can be regarded as winning their trust.Yan Ming estimated that according to Lingao's current consumption situation, these people would soon get bored with the less useful silver.

After the procedures are completed, the leaders of each family will designate a few cronies to handle the handover procedures of the ship.After the staff of the planning committee opened the seal, the artillery, ammunition, food, materials, personal luggage, etc. on each ship were removed one by one.All personal belongings will be returned after disinfection.As for artillery, food, weapons and other items, they are all registered by the Planning Commission.Regardless of whether these ships are bought or not, the shipyard will carry out a comprehensive refurbishment and conversion process on them.in order to perform tasks in the fall.

After the arrangements were made, a two-month leave was announced for everyone to settle down with their families and handle private affairs.Afterwards, the doctors from the Ministry of Health also conducted physical examinations on the leaders and their family members—some of them entered the venereal disease prevention center on the spot.The rest were given keys to their homes after a "purification" procedure.

These residences for pirate leaders are located in the high-end residential area of ​​Bopu Commune.This is the first batch of pilot high-end residential areas built.Twelve townhouses per row, a total of three rows were built.Except for Hu Wumei and Lin Dan who went to the farm, the other nine households of the pirate leaders moved in.Because Lin Dan was alone, he felt that living in such a big house alone was boring, so he asked to live in the Navy's barracks.Chen Haiyang allocated him an officer's dormitory in the Bopu naval camp.

The decoration, furniture, and furnishings inside include all kinds of daily necessities. Wu De instructed to embody the four standards of "tidy, clean, comfortable, and decent".Flowers and trees were also planted in the front and rear yards.It made the pirate family members who are used to living in the narrow environment at sea feel very comfortable and comfortable.And the faucet that can automatically discharge water with a single lever has caused a sensation.

The Time Travel Group also arranged a doorman for each household, basically an old man, who looked after the door, cleaned the house, and took care of receiving visitors and so on.Sitting at the door in a brand new Tsing Yi, he looked very dignified.In fact, they are all part-time informers receiving subsidies from the General Administration of Political Science and Security.

When the families were moving, Ding Ding, the head of Wenxuan, called the music team over as usual, blowing and playing, while setting off firecrackers, trying to create a joyous atmosphere. Then, in the names of Wei Aiwen, Chen Haiyang, Wu De, and Lin Baiguang, they sent gifts to celebrate the housewarming. The congratulatory gift, at the end, was sent in the name of the executive committee.

For a while, the leaders couldn't figure out the system of the Australians. Some people thought that the "Executive Committee" was probably the name of the Australian emperor, and some knew that it was the name of an organization such as the "Cabinet".No matter what, it is a rare favor.So when the gift arrived, everyone knelt down and kowtowed to thank them.Then he respectfully placed the gift in the middle of the hall.Wei Aiwen who came to congratulate him was dumbfounded.

The gifts sent were very simple, there were no gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, but all daily necessities: firewood, rice, oil, salt, cloth, silk and satin.Although it is not worth much, it is a very thoughtful move for newcomers who are newcomers who don't even know where to go shopping.

Finally, a housewarming feast was delivered from the cafeteria.Wei Aiwen, Chen Haiyang and others accompanied in person, and the atmosphere was very warm.Everyone is very grateful for the various preferential treatment given after logging in.

Then it is to carry out "learning" every three to five.The content of learning is nothing more than watching movies and attending classes.In addition, the "visiting" that the Communist Party tried repeatedly when it was engaged in "reforming thought" back then.The only regret is that the Time Travel Group does not have so many industrial and mining enterprises to show them, and the scale of most of these enterprises looks really shabby.However, the semi-modern production capacity shown by a limited number of factories is enough to shock people in the middle ages.

Wei Aiwen assigned each leader a student from the training class of the Political Department, who nominally acted as an interpreter, so that they could understand the content of the speech, and essentially carried out one-on-one infiltrating propaganda.

They also visited army and navy drills, artillery target shooting, and infantry formation drills.However, apart from the powerful power of the artillery, these things are not as impressive as the factory, they are purely watching the fun-most leaders know little about military affairs.Even the tactics of naval battles are nothing more than that. Basically, they charge with the banner, hit with artillery when they are far away, launch rockets when they are close, and finally jump into hand-to-hand combat.

In addition to visiting and watching movies, lectures are also held.Although most of them are illiterate, they are not literate at this stage-these people are unrestrained people who do not understand the importance of knowledge enough.It is impossible to sit in class as seriously as a student.Therefore, the lectures are in the form of symposiums, mainly focusing on indoctrination.In addition to Wei Aiwen himself, Lin Baiguang, Wu De, Chen Haiyang and others came in turn.The symposium is generally held in the gazebo of the farm, with tea, snacks and fruits, eating and drinking, and then chatting.In this kind of chat, slowly instill the views of the Traveling Group, and sometimes answer questions.From science popularization, why the iron boat can float on the water to whether the "Australians" are going to rebel and conquer the world - Wei Aiwen always smiles mysteriously and does not answer the question of whether it is rebellion or not.

This way of talking on an equal footing and mutual trust gave the leaders a lot of goodwill—almost all of them came from poor backgrounds and were used to the brutality of the government. Although there was a "democratic" atmosphere in the pirate group, under the family-style management system, the As a collateral foreign surname, he can only hide his complaints about various injustices within the group in his heart.Now that everyone has opened up the conversation and talked freely, it feels quite joyful.Many people couldn't help venting their dissatisfaction with Elder Zhu Cai.Wei Aiwen nodded while listening, thinking that this would be in the quarantine camp, probably the sailors were also venting their dissatisfaction with their group.
