Chapter 16: Run... Run ()

Why did Liu Tongfu have such a reaction? You can understand without even thinking about it.

Although, like many Chinese workers, this guy has been in the United States for many years and speaks English more easily than some white people (at this time, many white people in the United States have just moved from Europe, except for the English-speaking regions of the United Kingdom and Ireland, most of them are not), but he is still busy all day long and still maintains the idea of ​​a Chinese farmer.

Land is something that can be passed down for generations. For Chinese people, especially Chinese farmers, anything can be lost. Land is the foundation and cannot be lost! Unless you can't survive, even if you can't live, you can't lose a single piece of wealth. Even if you can't survive, some people want to leave the land.

Liu Tongfu's family was originally a landlord. After three hundred acres of good paddy fields were swept away by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they kept thinking about it for decades. Even when they came to the United States, Liu Tongfu never forgot the "glory" of the family. He firmly believed that if it were not for those "bandits" and those "haired hair", his Liu family would still be a high-ranking landlord family.

However, Napoleon sold half of the United States today! That was more than a dozen states! After living in the United States for so many years, Liu Tongfu certainly knew how big the states in the United States were... If such a large area was placed on a Chinese, no matter how much money it had, Napoleon would not be sold. But Napoleon sold it. Isn't this a prodigal son? In fact, not to mention Liu Tongfu, even Guo Jinzhang, after learning about Napoleon's selling of Louisiana in history books, he felt extremely regretful about it, let alone Liu Tongfu, who is extremely eager for land?

"At that time, Napoleon sold the entire Louisiana for only more than 10 million US dollars, which is almost the entire central United States today... On average, only six dollars in Fangyuan's land! Even if the land price has increased now, the hundreds of thousands of dollars we have on hand is enough to buy a land of a hundred miles. A radius of more than 1,500 acres, and we have at least hundreds of thousands of acres of him!... Three hundred acres? Ah Fu, do you think you have a future?" Qian Shide ignored Liu Tongfu's anger. Although Napoleon was also a super prodigal son in his heart, he cared more about that beautiful dream!

The land of Fangyuan is a hundred miles! Even if it is less than a hundred miles, it is enough for everyone to share. When you have land, you will spend money to find a wife in your hometown and give it to your descendants in the future!

old?

What's old?

Many people get children in old age.

Besides, he is strong and healthy, so he is absolutely fine!

"Uncle Qian, aren't you fooling us? Hundreds of thousands of acres... can the foreign devils be sold to us?" Liu Tongfu was still a little unbelievable.

"Why can't you sell it? Do you know how big Canada is?" Guo Jinzhang said: "It's not smaller than the United States. But its population is several times smaller than that of the United States... Hundreds of thousands of dollars, not to mention the Baili Fangyuan, you can buy it even if it's hundreds of miles."

"That's it, that's it!" Liu Tongfu seemed a little excited, and even wiped his tears.

"Don't worry, kid. You have to wait until we leave the United States and arrive in Canada before we can count. If we can't leave, everything will be different." Hou Nan smiled.

"If I really can have land, I will have to get over even if I crawl." Liu Tongfu shouted.

"Actually, if it is possible, I really don't want to leave the United States. This is a treasure land!" Guo Jinzhang sighed again, "This land is full of gold, silver, copper, iron... and there is nothing short of everything. Even farming, there are also good land!"

"I have lived for so many years and have been used to it. If it weren't for those white people, who would have wanted to leave?" Chu Si sighed. The Chinese actually don't have any strong enthusiasm for making progress. At least most people don't have such excitement. Everyone likes to live in familiar places and interact with familiar people. But who would have thought that one day, hard work and hard work will become a sin. If they can work and live a stable life, even if they almost do, everyone will not want to run far away. They have suffered this kind of suffering once when they cross the ocean. It's not enough?

"Yes. Who told me that I couldn't stand us?" Hou Nan also said depressedly.

"Actually, those white people are wrong and very bastards, but we actually have something wrong with it." Guo Jinzhang said suddenly.

"We are not right?" Qian Shide came back to God from his longing, "What's wrong with us? I said Jin Zhang, you have to be careful when you speak. We Chinese workers are honest and only know how to work hard on weekdays. What sins can you have?"

"Actually, it can't be considered a sin. The main reason is that we haven't thought about how to get along with those white people." Guo Jinzhang said.

"Go with white people? When those people saw us, they wanted to lift their nostrils up to the sky and get along with them? Are you not sick, aren't you?" Qian Shide said dissatisfied.

"Every place has rules and rules for every place to act." Guo Jinzhang smiled, "I have been thinking that we come to the United States across the ocean, although we just want to have a meal and a way out, this problem does not seem to be difficult to solve, right?"

"Yes, as long as you are willing to do it, of course there are some work for you. We all can naturally have a full meal!" Liu Tongfu said.

"You just said that America is a treasure land, that's right. There are few people and many lands here, and the people live much better than us." Hou Nan also nodded, "I just came here for a few years, and I heard that the black slaves in the south even had meat every meal... The meat they eat in a year can cost more than 100 pounds. If this is the case, even some landlords and wealthy people don't have the best taste, and they will not be willing to eat so many good things."

"Of course. Black slaves are the private property of slave owners and do not have to pay wages. In order to allow them to work well for themselves, the slave owners naturally cannot abuse them all day long. Instead, they should be kind to them so that they will not be passive and lazy. On the contrary, the northern states, even though they are clamoring for liberation of slaves all day, may not really treat black people as humans." Guo Jinzhang echoed after hearing this. The annual meat intake of more than 100 pounds, as he knew, even the European powers may not be able to achieve this level at this time. This is certainly because of the price difference between urban and rural areas, but it also shows that black slaves have not been subjected to the kind of persecution as imagined. Of course, this is simply considering food and accommodation, not considering the dignity, or the separation of wives and children.

Things like that. However, no matter what, it must be admitted that the decree of Lincoln to liberate black slaves did not bring much practical benefits to black people. They were free, but were discriminated against by white people. By the 1950s and 1960s, black people in some states in the United States could not take the bus with white people. Even if they took a ride, they would stand up and give up their seats when they saw white people, let alone vote. As for the "Obama" president who suddenly entered the White House in the United States in 2011, Guo Jinzhang still did not think that he was really a symbol of black and white equality in the United States. Perhaps Guo Jinzhang's own thoughts were too dark. He always felt that Obama was not so much a "dark horse", but rather a person who was really in power in the United States, he took the blame.

"What I mean is that being a slave may not be bad? Don't you see our Qing Dynasty? If you can be a slave to those officials, especially those who are high-ranking officials in Beijing, you will be better than others!" Qian Shide said.

"That's different!" Guo Jinzhang shook his head.

"What's the difference? Are they all 'slaves'?" Liu Tongfu asked back.

"Hehe, that's what you say, but it's different." Guo Jinzhang smiled, not knowing how to explain.

"Okay, okay, it's all about us if this slave is not a slave?"

"That's it. What did we just say?" After arguing for a while, everyone turned their attention to Guo Jinzhang, "You guy just said that our situation is also our own fault?"

"Ah!" Guo Jinzhang nodded.

"What's wrong with us?" Chu Si asked.

"We have always regarded ourselves as an outsider and are too far away from those white people..."

"What do you mean? Are we too far away?" Liu Tongfu snorted coldly, "I want to get close, so those white people have to be happy to do it. Look at the foreigners' nostrils all day long, and they care about you?"

"That's it." Chu Si also nodded.

"If someone ignores us, we still have to look over with a look of shame? Is it embarrassing?" Qian Shide said in dissatisfaction.

"That's the same!" Guo Jinzhang thought for a while, smiled helplessly, and gave up his original idea. He had just remembered some things, talking about some Chinese people who came to Africa later. Chinese people are generally not sociable abroad, and they almost never take the initiative to interact with foreigners, even if they live in other people's countries... He has seen some pictures, what happened to Chinese people in Africa. The introduction of one of the pictures is like this. A writer wrote a book called "Dragon and Ostrich", which wrote about some Chinese people in Africa. The book directly

It is pointed out that the life of Chinese people in Africa is a bit like apartheid! Apart from doing business, Chinese people basically do not consider communicating with local Africans... In this case, of course, people will not regard you as their own! In this case, once something happens to the Chinese people, no one will pay attention to it. In fact, not only in Africa, but in many other places, Chinese people have such a characteristic. What he just wanted to say is that the Chinese workers now communicate too little with those white workers, so that everyone cannot communicate with each other, which is why

Misunderstandings have also made those whites increasingly hate Chinese workers under the propaganda of some people with ulterior motives. But think about it again, do Chinese people not want to integrate into their local society? Social differences, language, customs, etc. are all problems. Of course, these are just second. But the problems encountered by Chinese workers in the United States are not just the deliberate misleading of American whites by bad politicians and rumorists, but those capitalists. Marx once said that the fundamental purpose of capital existence is to pursue profits. Compared with those of local whites, Chinese workers are the only ones that

What can be done is that they are hardworking and willing to work hard and have low salary, so they are loved by those capitalists. This is also the primary reason why white people hate Chinese workers, because they think that Chinese workers with too low salaries have snatched their jobs. But is it that Chinese workers don’t want to ask their boss for a salary increase? Everyone is not stupid, who doesn’t want to earn more? The question is, if you ask for a salary increase, why do those capitalists hire Chinese workers who have no skills or knowledge? Why don’t they hire white people of the same race? Isn’t it?

To put it bluntly, if Chinese workers want to survive in the United States, they can only maintain their low salary level and work hard. This is the only reliance for them to survive in the United States, at least for now. And this is something that white workers don’t like to see... When someone asks you to throw away your dependence on survival, can you agree? It’s definitely not! Moreover, the way those white people make requests is so rude, that’s even more impossible.

Therefore, Chinese workers will inevitably be rejected.

"It's almost done, Ah Fu, go and change it with Ah Zu!" After chatting for a while, Hou Nan looked at the time and ordered Liu Tongfu.

"Um!"

Liu Tongfu responded, got up and walked towards Hou Nan's bedroom... The mayor's wife and son in Denver were imprisoned there, and everyone took turns to guard people to avoid accidents.

But this is the world. The more you guard against it, the more accidents appear.

Just after walking into the bedroom, Liu Tongfu rushed out in horror:
