Chapter 400 Chapter 402 Accusation
The written material that Wen Qingming distributed contained some basic rules and policies of the Beijing Safety Zone, the prices of daily necessities, and information on the prices of house rentals and sales.
At this stage, the basic policies implemented in each safe zone are not exactly the same, and each place has its own characteristics.
It is better to understand it clearly in advance and prepare early so that you won’t be in a rush when you get there.
After Rong Xianxian got the information, she read it very carefully. She mainly looked at the relevant regulations on establishing non-governmental organizations, the locations of various shops, the distribution of schools and the prices of houses.
Because the wild environment is unsafe, people need to travel in groups whether gathering or hunting, so people spontaneously formed various large and small folk groups.
Among these civilian groups, there are mercenary groups at all levels with relatively stable membership, as well as various civilian teams with members who come and go freely and have loose organizations.
There is only one common currency in the capital, and that is the official double-sided gold coin.
New residents can use the goods they carry to offset the fees for entering and leaving the city gates, and private buyers and sellers can negotiate to exchange goods for goods, but gold coins must be used in any official shop or exchange.
If you have enough gold coins, you can buy not only a house but also a shop.
Rong Xianxian and his companions left the team many times to collect supplies along the way. When collecting supplies, they would deliberately look for such precious metals and jade talisman papers. Especially when they were in Chongzhou, in the early days people were mostly fighting for food and weapons. Rong Xianxian scratched off a lot of gold jewelry, gold bars and the like.
If you use the gold you have collected and stored to process it into gold coins, the processing fee is as high as 50%. Although this fee is very high, ordinary gold items cannot be traded if they are not processed.
Rong Xianxian was calculating the resources in her hands. She also had a lot of official points in the Jindu Safety Zone. What would be the most appropriate thing to exchange these points for?
Jindu is located along the coast, with a well-developed water system and abundant aquatic life. Most of the civilian teams are keen on winter fishing. The trading market is flooded with various kinds of fresh fish and shrimp, which are of good quality and low price. These aquatic products can probably be regarded as Jindu's specialties, right?
Fried to make crispy dried fish, or simply smoked, dried, or pickled, they are all delicious snacks with unique flavors.
Members of the civilian team had different reasons for going to the capital. Some of them went to the capital to live with their relatives, some because their children went to school in the capital, some because the capital had the strongest defense and they believed it was the safest place in the country, and some just heard that residents of the capital were treated well and they could get better living conditions by going there.
Looking at the introduction of basic prices, rental costs and laws and regulations in the Beijing Safety Zone in their hands, the captains of the invited civilian teams were all thoughtful. The quality of the members in their teams could be said to be uneven. Some were very capable, while others were relatively mediocre. As leaders, it was difficult for them to be completely fair, so the team's cohesion was not strong and its stability was not high.
Although now as the leaders of a team, they have control over certain resources and seem to be relatively prosperous, but when they arrive in the capital, faced with more choices and ways out, they may not be able to retain those who are truly capable in the team. Perhaps they should do something in advance.
"Everyone, we have survived the most difficult times. As soon as the weather warms up, we will set off and we will soon reach the capital. I have just read these materials, and I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the situation in the capital's safety zone. I invited everyone here today mainly to tell you that the army is well-equipped and well-paid. In this turbulent environment, there are many opportunities to make meritorious contributions and promotions are fast. If anyone is interested in joining the army, you can come to me. We very much welcome talents like you who have experience in commanding group operations." Wen Qingming's invitation to these captains to join the army was just a cover. The army was not short of command talents. What he really valued were the young people with outstanding qualifications and strong combat capabilities in various civilian teams.
Wen Qingming made his intention known and was just waiting for the decision of the captains. If these captains could bring in ten qualified members, they would be given the title of squad leader. If they could bring in thirty qualified members, they would be given the title of platoon leader. This could not be said explicitly, but he would make it clear to them. Then everyone would understand and it would all depend on their choice. Wen Qingming was like Jiang Taigong sitting on the Diaoyutai, and it all depended on how many people would voluntarily take the bait.
"The banquet is halfway through, why hasn't Lan Shuang come in yet?" Yang Chao asked impatiently, frowning.
"Captain, everything has been arranged as you instructed, but Miss Lan Shuang has always been weak and seldom goes out. What if she doesn't come..." Yang Chao's deputy regiment commander replied hesitantly.
"People who used to attend various banquets will definitely find excuses to join in the fun when they know that a banquet is being held here now. Besides, the excuses are ready now," Yang Chao said with a gloomy look.
"But, Captain, this kind of groundless accusation can't do anything to Rong Xianxian, right?" Yang Chao's deputy regiment commander asked in confusion.
"It may not be groundless. Didn't the hypnotist say that Lan Shuang was seriously ill before and someone must have tampered with her brain?" Yang Chao said with a grim look. The strange death of Ji Qingli and his son was closely related to Rong Xianxian.
"Some time ago, Ning Qingtian stood up for Rong Xianxian. When Lan Shuang was seriously ill, Ning Qingtian was extremely anxious. She called a doctor and a hypnotist for her. If these two started fighting, which side would Ning Qingtian stand on?" Yang Chao smiled maliciously.
"As long as Lan Shuang insists that it was Rong Xianxian who did something to her, and if she can't produce any evidence to prove her innocence, we will arrest her first and see how she can jump around in the safe zone in the future?" There was obvious jealousy and fear in Yang Chao's eyes.
Ning Qingtian had already seen Rong Xianxian and Ning Qingyun sitting together. They were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, each with their own merits. They sat next to each other, and although they did not communicate much, they looked very harmonious.
Ning Qingtian hid in an inconspicuous corner, afraid that Ning Qingyun would notice him.
Although this seventh brother is an illegitimate child, he has a bad reputation among his peers in the Ning family. Since she was a child, Ning Qingtian was warned by her parents to stay away from him, not to provoke him, and not to get close to him.
Ning Qingtian's parents had given her such many warnings that this sense of awe was deeply imprinted in her mind. Even now, when she sees Ning Qingyun, she still subconsciously wants to avoid him.
