The battle is over!
With the surrender of the defenders, Montevideo was captured. Some troops left Montevideo and turned north, while others entered other areas to wipe out the remaining enemies. For the troops stationed in Montevideo
For me, the leisurely days that I have not enjoyed for a long time have arrived.
The streets were filled with soldiers. At first, there were very few citizens on the streets, but like any post-war city, after a few days of fighting, there were more and more citizens on the streets.
After all, for ordinary people, they always need to live. In order to maintain their lives, many people sell non-essential items in their homes. They set up stalls on the roadside selling paintings, duvets, silverware, etc.
There are a lot of things, sometimes even some porcelain.
"Hey, the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty..."
Looking at the words on the back of the Guangcai porcelain plate, Lin Yili asked.
"Is it a complete set?"
"Yes, sir, there are 78 pieces in total including tea sets. You can see them all here. This is the dowry given by my father when I got married..."
The old woman replied respectfully, even though it only took a few days, the local citizens discovered that these outsiders were indeed extremely civilized. They had never robbed them, and they would definitely give them money when they bought things.
"How much?"
"Shi Ming Yuan, sir."
"It's too expensive, six yuan!"
There is no doubt that six yuan can definitely be sold. After buying a set of Guangcai porcelain, Lin Yili took them directly to the nearby military post office, simply packed them and sent them home.
.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have corresponding benefits - 40 kilograms of packages are delivered for free every month, so after the battle, the military postal office is the busiest, and the soldiers always buy a variety of goods.
Souvenirs they bring to their families.
“It’s so cheap on the street!”
Wandering on the streets of Montevideo, Li Pingcai looked at the vendors on the roadside with some surprise. Many of the items were so cheap, it was as if they were picked up for free.
"Can it be cheaper? Basically, ordinary people sell things on the street. What they sell are all from their own homes. They just sell some money to make ends meet..."
Li Tieliang, who has experienced troubled times, naturally knows who the vendors on the street are.
"Hey, it's not easy!"
After a long sigh, Li Tieliang said.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Just ask around. There is a factory there. Let's go and have a look."
After sending the package, Lin Yili was walking on the street. After taking a few steps, he noticed two Ming people walking there and asking about something.
So he immediately walked over and asked.
"Hey, where are you from?"
Foreigners? Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty... they speak Mandarin fluently.
"Sir, we are coming from Yingtian and want to do business here."
"He came from Yingtian to do business."
After looking at the compatriots in front of him, Lin Yili specifically warned.
"Don't wander around. The streets seem to be calm now, but no one knows if there are any broken soldiers hiding. If you encounter them, it will be over. By the way, what business do you do? It was designated by the headquarters.
There are commercial areas, and there are more military police there, so safety will definitely be no problem."
Seeing that the foreign officers and soldiers in front of him spoke very politely, Li Tieliang did not hide their intention.
"Do you want to set up a factory?"
"Yes, that's why I came here to see if there are any opportunities."
"Opportunities? Opportunities are just for you guys to wander around like headless flies. Go to the headquarters and find out. There are dedicated businessmen there..."
As he spoke, Lin Yixiu noticed a machine factory with a closed door that he had passed before, so he said to them.
"I also know a factory, about three blocks away from here. Do you want to visit it?"
"That would be great."
Sometimes the encounters in life are always so wonderful. At least for the Li family and his son, they were like headless flies. As soon as they arrived here, they found a factory. Although the factory door was closed, there was a sign on the door.
A seal was posted, but it pointed out where he should go.
The owner of this factory is Brazilian, so the factory is of course an enemy product.
So they found the headquarters again, in the business office, but as soon as they expressed their intention to come, the other party flipped through the catalog and said.
"The Alfonso Iron Factory, right? Do you want to buy it?"
"Yes, sir, we want to go there first and see what machines there are..."
Before they could finish speaking, the sergeant responsible for entertaining them spoke directly.
"Can you guarantee that production will resume within half a month?"
"What?"
The Li family and his son were a little confused.
"Here is its equipment list. There are twenty-three machines in total. Take a look..."
After handing over the list, the sergeant said,
"If you can guarantee to resume production within half a month, you only need to pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan, and that's it..."
"Deposit? What deposit?"
Li Tieliang, who was looking at the equipment list, looked at the military master with some confusion.
"It's the contract deposit. Although this is enemy property, the military will only take care of it until the disposal plan is released. You can contract it, resume production, and hire workers. After all, the market will always return to normal..."
The sergeant's explanation made the Li family and his son dumbfounded. They didn't even dare to think that such a good thing could happen in the world.
Everything was like a dream. After they signed the contract, the two men still didn't react.
"Ping Cai, this factory belongs to us?"
When he walked out of the headquarters, Li Tieliang's eyes were still full of disbelief. This thing... was like a dream.
"It's not ours. Didn't you listen to what Chief Xu said? We are only temporarily contracting the factory. We have to pay rent. The key is in the future..."
Li Pingcai pursed his lips and swallowed excitedly.
"If the disposal is carried out in the future, the contractor can give priority to participate in the disposal..."
In fact, this is the disposal of enemy property.
For the imperial army, they do not mind "subletting" confiscated or enemy-proof property to domestic businessmen in order to restore the economy. As for future disposal and other matters, there are naturally specialized agencies to handle it.
.
At that time, factories, houses and land originally worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan will be disposed of at extremely low prices to those with far-sightedness, although it is inevitable that some assets will flow into the hands of certain people.
But what is certain is that for anyone with a vision, this is the war dividend that belongs to adventurers, and they will definitely be richly rewarded for their courage.
A few days later, the factory, which was renamed "Zhenhua Machinery Factory", reopened. The workers in the factory were the employees of the original factory, and even the raw materials for production in the factory were the remaining inventory from the previous one.
When the steam engine started running again, Li Tieliang, who had transformed into "Boss Li", couldn't believe it.
If it weren't for war, who would dare to believe all this?
No one dared to believe that all this was happening, but Li Tieliang knew that from now on, the fate of their old Li family had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Listening to the roar of the machine in his ears, he couldn't help but grin, with a heartfelt smile on his face...
