Chapter 196: Improvisation
When everyone on Kang Xiaolu learned that Leader Zhang was going to take his mere four subordinates to the Isthmus of Kra, it was really hard for everyone on Kang Xiaolu to understand. Didn’t these “returnees” say that they were going to the Song Dynasty! After finally escaping from death, they boarded the Song Dynasty ship and were sent directly from the Song Dynasty fleet to the Song Dynasty. What should they do? If there is such a good thing, these people should be glad.
But this leader Zhang just kept silent. His thoughts were really unreasonable. He just went to the Isthmus of Kra. Isn’t this obviously a problem? I didn’t listen to the advice, and I really don’t know how to say this.
Kang Xiaolu couldn't make the decision in this matter. If he wanted to stop it, Kang Xiaolu had to kick the ball to Chen Liang.
So, I had to bring all the guests to Chen Liang and let them negotiate with Chen Liang.
Chen Liang had been waiting on the rented Yuntong Island. When the fleet arrived, the returnees were introduced one by one. Chen Liang looked at the twenty-one strange guests and nodded. Well, it looked like the person Mao Geng had been looking for.
Now, twenty-one people, all of them have changed into the costumes of the Song Dynasty. The clothes before were completely out of place, so they had to change into the Song Dynasty outfits provided by Kang Xiaolu. Women are just fine. They are used to wearing novel outfits in various styles and such. They wear Song Dynasty costumes, which is the feeling of fashion. You can't say that wearing men's clothes with wide robe and big sleeves has a unique charm. However, most of them look quite uncomfortable when men wear wide Song Dynasty costumes.
Chen Liang looked at these men. Except for the one Zhang and the one named Qiu, the other ones were all short. Zhang Zhang's hair had the longest hair, but it was very limited, which was just slightly longer than the neck. Lao Qiu's hair was draped on both sides, but it was not as long as the neck.
What Chen Liang didn't know was that these two were artists from the 21st century. Artists from the 21st century would always grow their iconic long hair. Lao Qiu was over forty years old. As he grew older, his long hair became shorter and shorter. Han Huanzhang was in his early thirties and his long hair was very dense. Not to mention his artistic attainments, his long hair made people feel quite artistic.
Kang Xiaolu and Tian Quan concluded that the hair length of overseas returnees was of particular importance, and mistakenly thought it was a symbol of identity. When reporting to Chen Liang, he used the length of overseas returnees as a benchmark and determined that the person with long hair was the highest status. By this reason, Zhang's head leader is the most noble, so his hair is the longest, and Mr. Qiu is about the second-rate person and can raise long hair, but the length of hair cannot exceed that of the head leader after all, so the length of hair is second. Well, that's the reason. As for other people, they must be the followers who cannot rank in number, so they have all short hair.
Chen Liang also thought that's the case. It's interesting that these people determine the length of their hair.
Chen Liang cordially received the returnees and then spoke to let all the returnees who came from afar take a shower and change their clothes. Because the clothes on the boat were limited, the ones they provided to the returnees were all linen clothing. Chen Liang felt that this was obviously not enough to show his hospitality as the director of West China Group, and at the same time it also lost the demeanor of the Song Dynasty. So, at the order, someone presented silk clothes that had been prepared long ago. The first thing was to let the returnees change into the Song Dynasty's iconic national clothing fabric silk suit.
Ma Fen took over the shiny silk clothing and hesitated for a while. Damn! Is this reliable for a big man to wear such fancy silk clothing?
Ma Fen was stunned for a while and was dazed. At this time, Han Huanzhang had already changed. He was really a person's clothing. Han Huanzhang looked like a character when wearing glossy silk clothes. Tang Kai's effect was just right when wearing such clothes, but it was so awkward to wear them on Liu Wenbing and Wang Feng.
"Put it on, put it on, everyone is full of affection, we have to bear the affection!"
Liu Wenbing persuaded him. The boy was wearing a bright silk robe and looked proud. He didn't know how funny he was wearing a silk robe. His thin body was fine. The key was that his hair was too short and he was a little bald. "Bald Bright" was about his situation. In short, it would be fine if he didn't wear silk. When he wore this outfit, he looked even more out of place.
Ma Fen didn't want to slam his emotions, he just smiled and said:
"Do you just wear this outfit and go to the jungle to shout and kill!? I'm not used to it."
Han Huanzhang didn't agree. He just felt that it was natural to wear the silk costumes of the Song Dynasty. As for the guy Ma Fen, it was obvious that it would be better to get him a short-dressing costume. It was really hard to imagine who would wear this silk robe and go to the jungle to fight with the chief's minions.
At this time, Lao Qiu arrived. When he saw that Ma Fen was still wearing the robe, he hurriedly greeted:
"Oh, brother Ma Fen, hurry up and put on the clothes in your hand. Director Chen Liang and Director Chen are going to invite a few of us representatives to the banquet!"
"You go, I won't represent you this time." Ma Fen felt that as one of the three representatives, not only did he not play a positive role, but also dragged his teammates down. He was despised by Xiao Lu for a while, and this time he made up his mind not to be a representative.
"This is not a question of whether you want it or not. This is what Director Chen wants to participate by name. Xiao Lu and Han Huaizhang, Oh, it's Zhang Huaihan and you four, you, Tang Kai, Liu Wenbing, and Wang Feng, all have to participate. Let me tell you, in the eyes of Director Chen, you are loyal and righteous men, and that's what you have to do, do you understand? Get dressed quickly and don't ruin your image."
"Oh, that's the case!"
Speaking of righteous men, the knights and righteous men from ancient times are very admired! This time, he scratched the itchy part of Ma Fen, and he didn't care about any habits, so he quickly changed into a silk robe and followed Lao Qiu to the banquet.
Chen Liang was unable to invite all the 21 overseas returnees to the banquet. First of all, the woman could not attend the banquet. Secondly, there were servants among them, so he specially invited seven representatives. Of course, the seven representatives invited were considered. Leader Zhang was the leader of a group of people, so he must invite them. Lao Qiu was the second-rate figure. Lu Yi saw that this person had some status among these people, and he had made a name for himself last time. This person was very polite and was also among the banquets.
As for Ma Fen and the other four, Ma Fen seemed to be a military general, so naturally he could not leave this person. The other three were also loyal and understandable. The others were only concerned about the comfort of the Song Dynasty, but Ma Fen and the other four chose to protect their masters and follow them to the west. It was not easy to get along. Such people are worthy of respect and are invited to have a drink together.
The guests and hosts sat down, and the dishes were priced up. Today, they had good wine and meat. Chen Liang said that today they would like to welcome guests from afar and drink happily.
This Yuntong Island has been rented for more than three months. The island has built simple Mao buildings, with brick and wood structures framed by wood, covered with bamboo fiber cement tiles, which is a house, which is similar to the farmhouses in later generations.
Since the terror of the flight, the crowd has never had a good sleep or a good meal. Ma Fen and Wang Feng first saw such a sumptuous food, and immediately started to eat and drink. Han Huanzhang also has a good appetite, but it is not as unqualified as Ma Fen and Wang Feng. Han Huanzhang is called a gourmet, and he frowned while eating, thinking that the chefs of the Song Dynasty are very average.
During the meal, Chen Liang made indirect attempts and intentionally or unintentionally interrogated the details of the returnees who claimed to be returning. The seven returnees had plans before, and when they answered, Chen Liang felt that they were not leaking.
Among them, the places where overseas returnees came from were discussed when the day was unified. There were not many places that civilized people in this era had not been to. Take America as an example. In fact, there had been a Mayan civilization, and only Australia really stayed in the primitive tribal stage of slash-and-burn farming. The travelers had no more choices, so they positioned their place as Australia. Whether it was Australia or New Zealand, the people of the Song Dynasty had never been to it, and the distance was far enough, it was it!
The distant Australia is actually indescribable. Anyway, it is very far away. Lu Yijian said a lot of nonsense, and there was no useful information in it. However, Chen Liang didn't even have the concept of earth. He was vague and felt that the returnees were talking with eyes and had preconceived ideas. So he believed that these people were descendants of the Tang people Mao Geng was looking for. As for that distant island, those who knew how to sail among the returnees unfortunately died, which brought some difficulties to the future voyage to find the island, but it doesn't matter, they will always be found.
The wine on the seat is of some degree. Since Mao Geng made the high-altitude wine, Chen Liang, the alcoholic, has fallen in love with the distilled and concentrated high-altitude wine.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, the originally mysterious descendants of the Tang people seemed to be much closer to Chen Liang's eyes. Although these people had many amazing secrets, it did not prevent Chen Liang from complimenting and criticizing them at will.
"Brother Zhang, look at you, you have to go to the Isthmus of Kra. If Chen stops it, it seems that it is not enough. However, if you have to go there and take risks, I think it's better to bring two more men. Not to mention anything else, the two men under Zhang's two high-necked and deep-sighted servants should be with him. The two men are strong and have extraordinary martial arts. Once something happens, two more experts, and this General Ma will also help Brother Zhang to be fully prepared."
In fact, Chen Liang had already complained in his heart. The two slaves did not follow the leader, but ran to the Song Dynasty to enjoy their fortunes. What's the hell is this!
"This-------"Lao Qiu was in trouble. These two masters, who were slaves, were actually not the same thing. Moreover, that Porter was a member of the American imperialist. Lao Qiu still remembered the hegemony of the American imperialist in the 21st century. He was afraid of Porter, who was born in the American imperialist, and wanted to drive Porter to the Isthmus of Kra. Lao Qiu felt that he was really unsure.
Lu Yi immediately came out to speak:
"Director Chen, it's not that the two of them are unwilling to go, but that our Chief Zhang has other arrangements."
When Chen Liang saw that Lao Qiu was whispering, it was obvious that something was hidden. But this boy named Lu said so. This boy dared to fool me Chen Liang!
"Since this is the case, you are unwilling to send more people to follow Chief Zhang. Then, Chief Zhang is at a very high risk, so it is better not to go. For the safety of Chief Zhang, I think it is better to go all to Xialong Bay. When you arrive at Xialong Bay, if someone is willing to stay, I, Chen Liang, will definitely stay as a guest of honor."
Chen Liang thought to himself that it would be best not to go to the Isthmus of Kra. Among the twenty-one people, it is said that some people are willing to stay in Xialong Bay. If these five people do not go to the Isthmus of Kra, they might be able to intercept two or three more. If the people who stayed have the same talents as Mao Geng, and having them to help him, it would be really a big wing.
The horse was anxious and said blankly:
"My Lord has made up his mind, and Isthmus must go to."
"Yes, Zhang has made up his mind." Han Huanzhang drank two more drinks, showed the artist's style, and refused to bow his head.
Liu Wenbing originally thought it would be best not to go to the Isthmus of Kra, and it would be boring to go to the place where birds do not shit, so Chen Liang's words just now were quite consistent with Liu Wenbing's wishes. He thought to himself that Amitabha Buddha is best not to go, and he just happened to follow a large group of people to go to the Song Dynasty to enjoy happiness.
Unexpectedly, Han Ma and his two were both crazy people, especially Han Huanzhang, who is known as the leader and cannot even control Lao Qiu when he speaks and does things. This matter makes people scratch their heads.
However, Liu Wenbing was Liu Wenbing. He suddenly felt aroused in his heart and said with a drunken heart:
"Director Chen, I have a word below, I don't know if I should say it."
"Speaking."
"Director Chen, in fact, I think Director Chen should also go to the Isthmus of Kra."
"Ah!" Chen Liang was shocked.
"Please listen to it. Director Chen is now in Chameng, and is already a sensible figure here. Xialong Bay is now under Director Chen. The situation is not bad. Unfortunately, whether it is Annan or Chameng, it is a country with a lord. Director Chen is here. No matter how well he manages, it is still so. It is probably very difficult to go further. And there is some suspicion of making wedding clothes for others. On the contrary, the situation in the Isthmus of Kra isthmus is similar to Taiwan that day. Mr. Mao offered his plans to take Taiwan and then took the opportunity to become the Chief Chief of Kaohsiung. Here, why not Director Chen handles this as such! Not only can Kra isthmus, but there is no border around Kra isthmus at this time. You can take it together, so you can set up a new special zone there, so what's wrong?"
According to Liu Wenbing's thoughts, since he was taken to the Isthmus of Kra, it would be better to make the matter in Kra Isthmus a little bigger. In this era, it is still a tribal world, and it is not as good as dealing with a country. If Chen Liang was fooled to move his focus there, he would probably be a great success, and he would have made suggestions.
Wang Feng heard what Liu Wenbing meant and thought that if it could become a special zone there, it would be good. The special zone is where the advantageous resources are concentrated, so it would be much better to stay in the special zone. So he encouraged:
"Yes, as long as Director Chen is willing to be the Chief Executive there, we will definitely help."
When Lao Qiu saw it, Chen Liang was obviously a little moved. He said that there were not only one or two special zones in later generations, so he had no choice but to jump out and oppose it.
Han Huanzhang is a person who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos. He set up a special zone and made a big deal! Good!
"Yes, this proposal from the Special Administrative Region is good! Zhang deeply agrees."
Chen Liang was actually planning for future development at the same time. In Annan and Chameng, he had almost done everything. He never thought of demarcating a piece of land to be the Chief Executive before, but now he suddenly came a bunch of strong supporters, including the right time, right place, and people. He had to say that this proposal was very touching.
