Those who sign up first will have priority in taking the cage car for transfer!
Wen Hui's shouting caused a huge commotion among the settlers. On the one hand, there was the endangered situation of weird riots, but on the other hand, it was a precious opportunity to ride on the high-grade armored vehicle. Even the female leader in charge was particularly excited when he heard that the armored vehicle was
When seeing rare objects, the craftsmen couldn't help but be shaken violently.
For ordinary people, just riding on a top-grade Yunqi is an experience that can be boasted for half a lifetime. Above that, the armored vehicle that does not use animal power also strongly attracts the curiosity of the craftsmen's professional instinct. The settlers looked at each other with expressions on their faces.
He showed an expression mixed with entanglement and longing.
As Ji Zheng said, wild riots are natural disasters that occur every year like heavy rains and floods. Even if you endure it, there will be no benefit at all. Although it is not nice to call it "escape", it is like spreading fire before the flood comes.
It's like leaving for high ground and waiting for the flood to pass before returning to your home. Rather than saying that this is a smart move, it's more stupid to wait in place to be submerged by the flood.
After all, they are from Liyang, and the people of Kino at least have this common sense.
However, abandoning the home that has been worked hard for a long time, even temporarily, is definitely not something that can be decided immediately. At the same time, the act of bowing to the government for help is also a difficult thing for proud craftsmen to overcome.
Of course, pride or arrogance, these are just a few noises. Gu Chen arranged for Guo Bei to organize the separation and the gathering to make gentle speeches. A two-pronged approach successfully created an atmosphere in Kino that "separation is the general trend." As long as the general trend does not change,
Change, no matter how entangled the settlers are, it is only a matter of time before they accept the proposal from the government.
"For those of you who want to take the armored car first, please sign up here."
Next to the armored car, wooden boxes were set up to set up a simple desk. After shouting, Wen Hui went to the desk, spread out his pen and ink, and waited.
Although Kinoji is not impressive in appearance, with the armored vehicle with the flag flying in the background and the five fully armed soldiers standing in awe behind their backs, it does create an awe-inspiring and majestic atmosphere, which also makes the surrounding settlement people
They wavered more obviously.
"Hey, what should I do? Do you want to leave Kinojisa?"
"Don't say stupid things, how can you leave the colony alone!"
"If I can really get on that armored car, I, I would like to give it a try..."
The settlers were whispering and couldn't help but glance at Fat Ji Zheng in front of the armored car.
Suddenly there was a cold snort, and then a figure walked out of the villagers. In front of the armored car, Ji Zheng Wenhui was quite happy when he saw someone walking over, but when he saw the appearance of the person coming, he immediately grimaced.
The visitor is an old man whose hair and beard have turned white, with rough and strong wrists and an aging but vigorous appearance. Compared with the young and strong craftsmen in the colony, his muscles are slightly weaker, but he exudes a strong sense of strength.
His ability and courage were far superior to those of the others. In fact, the settlers looked at the old man as if they were a leader.
In full view of everyone, the old man walked straight to the gathering place in front of the armored car.
"Fang Laozhang, you...do you want to sign up?"
As if overwhelmed by the old craftsman's courage, Ji Zheng Wenhui subconsciously stood up and asked stammeringly.
"I won't sign up." The old craftsman shook his head and glanced at the name book on the desk. "I don't need that thing either."
"Well?"
"Kinoji is here. We are not going anywhere."
The old craftsman's voice was as heavy as a hammer. On the contrary, Fat Ji was a little panicked.
"But, the pioneers have already planned to leave? How are you going to hold on to the settlement after they leave?"
"After all, we are just outsiders. If you want to leave, just leave." The old craftsman raised his eyes to glance at the pioneers in the distance and responded with an unwavering attitude. "Kinoji was originally our home built brick by brick.
, of course we should protect it ourselves. This is what the Kino people did in the past, and they will continue to do it in the future, right?"
As the old craftsman spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced around. As if infected by that attitude, the originally hesitant settlers suddenly became restless.
"That's right! We will protect Kinoji by ourselves!"
"Who wants to go to this city? There is no need for the government to intervene."
"Uh, folks, calm down..."
The old craftsman's words instantly changed the atmosphere of the square. Ji Zheng Wenhui broke into a cold sweat and tried to calm down the agitated settlers. At the same time, he couldn't help but quietly look at the wooden house beside the square.
Over at the wooden house, Gu Chen was always paying attention to the evolution of the situation in the square through the window. Of course, he also noticed that the situation was turning to a bad direction. However, compared to Fat Ji Zhenglai, Gu Chen paid more attention to the man with white beard and hair.
On the body of the old craftsman.
"I see, is that the 'mastermind behind the scenes'..."
Glancing at the old craftsman, Gu Chen murmured to himself.
Relying on the strategizing of the outstanding female leader, the ruling power of Liyang Mansion can be said to be strong among the twelve princes. No matter how wealthy and self-sufficient the community is, there is no reason to resist the good intentions of the ruler to such an extent. Gu
Chen suspected that there must be an opinion leader behind Kinoji's stubborn refusal, and this suspicion has now been confirmed.
"That person, I remember, is the chief craftsman of Kinoji, named 'Fang Liang'."
The messenger next to him was rummaging through his memory list and speaking in an unhappy voice.
The old craftsman named Fang Liang was the chief craftsman responsible for instructing novice craftsmen in Kino. He had a prestige among the settlers that Ji Zheng Wenhui could not match. However, Fang Liang did not usually express any opinions on the government affairs of the consular government.
Ji Zheng Wen Hui was also very polite, so no one guessed that it was him who was behind the scenes.
Gu Chen's previous strategy had shaken the settlers violently, and they probably judged that there would be problems if they continued to remain silent, so Fang Liangcai had to step forward to cut off the shakers of the settlers in the form of a hard confrontation. Affected by Fang Liang's prestige, the current situation is normal.
It is rapidly evolving in a direction that is unfavorable to the territory.
"It seems that is the obstacle to Kinojisa's departure."
Zhang Ji came to the same conclusion as Gu Chen. He glanced at the old craftsman in the square and cast an inquiring look at him.
Although I don’t want to admit it, in terms of prestige, strength, and courage, the old craftsmen are far ahead of Fat Ji Zheng. It is impossible to expect Wen Hui to reverse the situation. Next, either Zhang Ji will step in to suppress the situation, or Gu Chen
To come to the rescue. If Zhang Ji is the person in charge of this incident, it would be natural for him to come forward to scold the old craftsmen. But Gu Chen’s performance in mediating the pioneer riot yesterday was quite amazing. Even Zhang Ji couldn’t help but feel this way.
Looking forward to it.
However, after all, Gu Chen was the Young Supervisor, and his official position was several levels higher than that of the messenger. Zhang Ji could not control Gu Chen no matter how hard he tried, so he could only cast an expectant look at him. On the other hand, Gu Chen certainly understood.
He met the expectations of his colleagues, but was somewhat resistant to intervening in the troublesome situation at hand.
However, if left to Zhang Ji, it might turn into a situation similar to yesterday's communal riot. After scratching his head and thinking about how to take a few breaths, Gu Chen gave up the entanglement and sighed, looking at the old craftsman over there.
"That's all. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. It's better to defeat it once."
