Chapter 1254 I Want to Eat Fish

The Japanese soldiers in Jiaobenji were very tough back then, but Zeng Wangcai worked hard to wipe out all their resistance.

But the situation is different now. Liverpool is not Prince Island and does not need construction. Even if it needs construction, Zeng Wangcai would not build it for the British people, right?

So how do we get these people to bow their heads?

Zeng Wangcai was standing at the dock, listening to the sound of the waves and feeling a little worried.

"Brother!" Xiaobao trotted over, "The old man is clamoring to see you."

"what?"

"No, the old man is very stubborn."

Well, let’s go and see. The work is not done yet, and the lithography machines and technology are not in hand, so these people are still useful.

There are a large number of warehouses at the dock. After Pete’s goods were taken away, a lot of space was left. Not to mention tens of thousands of people, as long as the comfort level is not taken into consideration, it would be no problem to accommodate hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.

The accommodation conditions in Yueli were slightly better. Zeng Wangcai let him live in a single room - inside a guard booth, just like the security booth before Zeng Wangcai came.

"What's the matter?" Zeng Wangcai saw Yueli sitting on the floor inside the sentry box through the window.

The old man staggered to his feet and said, "We are prisoners of war, but we should also enjoy human rights..."

"Just get to the point. I'm leaving now."

"hungry!"

Nima!

Zeng Wangcai found that he had overlooked a big problem. There were tens of thousands of prisoners of war, and feeding them was a big problem.

He was used to not having to worry about the soldiers in the combined forces brigade, so he didn't consider this even though Yori and his men had been there for more than a day.

In other words, no matter whether Yori and his men were hungry or thirsty, they would have turned over long ago if the soldiers of the combined forces brigade had not had enough deterrent power.

Zeng Wangcai was so annoyed that he found an empty warehouse and got some water first. While getting food, he gave up his plan to buy instant noodles: "Damn it, did we invite a bunch of ancestors back? Grandma, just eat bran."

There was no shortage of healthy food in later generations, and people at that time had shifted from eating enough to eating well and to being healthy.

But once food is related to health, many of them don’t taste good. How can food that lacks oil and salt be delicious?

After searching for a while, Zeng Wangcai found the ideal food, a kind of cake made with rice bran as the main ingredient. It has a very high bran content and is the coarseest of coarse grains.

"Okay, this is it." The decision was made.

One warehouse for water and one warehouse for rice bran cakes.

After doing all these, although none of the things were valuable, Zeng Wangcai still felt like he had lost money. This was just like the scene in "We're Not Short of Money" where two dishes were ordered before one.

"Damn it, no, put it on the account first."

A few minutes later, Zeng Wangcai watched the old man eating the cake. He was really hungry and the cake was really strange. The old man took a bite and couldn't swallow it. He used his hand to hook his throat, and then used water to push it down. He finished one cake and drank a bottle of water.

After finishing the meal, Yori was still not satisfied and felt very distressed: "What kind of food is this? Is it for pigs?"

You guessed it right. Rice bran was what pigs used to eat.

But you should be content. This stuff was considered a real food in our place in the 1950s and 1960s.

"One meal costs ten dollars per person, two meals a day costs twenty dollars, I'll keep a record for you." Zeng Wangcai said before leaving, "If your family doesn't pay, you will have to work to pay off the debt."

One million dollars a day is enough, even a fly is meat, right?

Under the shocked gaze of old man Yoli, Zeng Wangcai returned to the dock.

At this time, Yutie came over. Yutie now acts as a liaison officer with those families who paid money to obtain protection cards.

"What's going on?"

"Brother, there was an accident on the Milady family's boat, and they are in a hurry now..."

The Miledi family is a large family engaged in the trade of fish, seafood and other aquatic products. The company's business scale is very large, and the fishery resources in the British country are very rich.

Because of the war, the transportation route from Liverpool was cut off, so they could only find a way to go from other places. Not only was the freight high, but it was also troublesome.

As soon as the good guy card came out, their family came looking for them.

"What happened at sea has nothing to do with us!" Yu Tie added, "But they don't have enough machines, so they're looking for people to load the boats, and they're also recruiting sailors to go fishing."

???

Zeng Wangcai suddenly had an idea: "Bring their family members here."

After a while, people from Miledi's family were brought over, and Zeng Wangcai asked him how their family was going to find someone.

The price of human resources here is quite high, even more expensive than using machines.

After learning the quote, Zeng Wangcai said, "From today on, all of your ship transfers and the use of human workers at the dock will be handed over to me. Don't worry, we will calculate it based on machine time."

The guy was so scared that he thought the masked weirdo in front of him was causing trouble.

Zeng Wangcai saw that he didn't believe him, so he asked the soldiers of the combined brigade to bring over a hundred Flying Dutchmen: "Look, they are all in good health. We guarantee that the work will be completed on time and in full."

......

The Port of Liverpool is a very important port, and the UK is in great need of its throughput capacity.

Before the war, hundreds of thousands of people worked at the port.

Now that these people are gone, the business transportation of the families protected by Zeng Wangcai has great difficulty in handling at the port.

"Friends, everything we see is true!" Laura walked on a busy dock in her high heels in the early spring sea breeze. "Our port has regained some of its prosperity. Let's follow the camera and see that peace is really coming..."

In the camera, there are Flying Dutchmen everywhere. They are wearing military uniforms and working hard to carry goods.

In the distance, the masked version of Daniel Yuen stared at a group of fishing boats going out to sea and said quietly, "My friend, I want to eat fish."

This is not a joke by Kuang Biao, but Zeng Wangcai's idea of ​​how to use the last wave of captives - go to the sea and catch fish for me.

Slow Chester.

Although the negotiations have not made any progress, calm has returned to the city.

In the temporary official residence, Sister Mei looked at the empty institution and felt very upset. How did it end up like this?

The Minister of Defense walked in slowly and took off his glasses. "Sir, the matter of the captured laborers has come to an end. Our allies can't stand it. This matter has caused a stir internationally. They feel ashamed. The most important thing is that they are like us. They have no evidence to accuse the University of Tokyo. Even if they have it, it is useless. Military strength represents everything. Mason has been in Liverpool for almost a month. Now the allies have agreed to their conditions. The lithography machine and everything related to it are on the way. We should make a decision."

"Let me do one last thing for the Empire!" Sister Mei made a decision in her heart, "Help me contact Mason. I will go to Liverpool to negotiate in person and resolve the current situation as soon as possible."

In the blink of an eye, it is February.

After Zeng Wangcai wanted to eat fish, he looked forward to the bail sent by the Flying Dutchman - a photolithography machine and a complete set of technology.

Considering that the prisoners worked hard, Zeng Wangcai refused to pay for their living expenses. After all, they had earned a lot of money working at the dock during this period.

Mason conveyed Sister Mei's intention to negotiate in person. The release of this signal heralded the arrival of the empire's afterglow.
