This kind of thinking is really inexplicable. Han Huai was speechless: "Can you rely solely on their own supervision? You can punish all the punishments for urinating and throwing garbage anywhere! This time I support foreigners."

"Yes." Jiang Wenwu became honest.

Han Huaiyi said again: "Watch your mind and think about it. If M individual soldiers provide food to the troops, what does it mean for New Rome?"

Jiang Wenwu finally understood, and he said horrifiedly: "I understand, boss, I'll do it right away."

He knew the importance of doing things quickly, and Johnson quickly found him.

He asked Han Huaiyi a little disbelief: "Charlie, do you really want me to interfere in these Chinese things?"

"Yes, I will supervise it without any politeness, but I have the judgment of not taking any intentional fault."

"Okay. By the way, when you were busy today, someone came to me."

"who?"

"He You, the Consul General of San Francisco of the Qing court, wants to see you."

See me?

Han Huaiyi was curious and agreed.

Speaking of which, after he came to the United States, he had never seen anyone who was stationed in the United States with the Qing government, and no one there had ever looked for him.

Now that I am about to negotiate with the Japanese side, the Qing court came to see me. What are they going to do?

At 7 o'clock that night.

He You, dressed in casual clothes, appeared at the office of New Rome in San Francisco.

This is the location of the old Chinatown opposite the Donghua Hospital in San Francisco, and now it has become the private property of local businessman Wood.

I guess I was afraid, so this guy took the initiative to donate this three-story house with a garden for free for New Rome.

This is why Han Huaiyi learned about the past of San Francisco's anti-China in 1900.

He You is a man in his forties.

He was born in Meixian, Guangdong.

This person looks handsome and upright, and is obviously not a cartilage person.

But when he saw Han Huaiyi, he bowed and said, "The student has met Mr. Han."

"How could Consul He be so polite?"

"What He You respects is the ability of Mr. He to suppress a country by himself. Mr. He deserves this gift."

After both sides sat down, He You said quickly: "Mr. Han, will you negotiate with the Japanese tomorrow?"

"Yes." Han Huaiyi couldn't figure out his intention, so he could only wait for him to speak. He You said, "The student has a reluctant request, I wonder if you can allow me to listen."

"Of course, all the reporters can do it, and all the friends can do it."

He You was overjoyed when he heard this and bowed, "Thank you, sir."

Then he asked: "Have Mr. Han ever heard of the regulations on restricting Chinese workers?"

"I probably heard of it."

"If the teacher is free, please listen to the students tell you the past."

He You told Han Huaiyi this.

As early as 1882, his mentor Huang Zunxian was promoted to the Consul General of the Qing Dynasty in San Francisco.

That year, Huang Zunxian had a disgusting thing as soon as he arrived in San Francisco.

That was the era when the United States was crazy about China. The US Congress added fueling the fire and introduced Article 15 of the "Regulations on Restricting Chinese Workers".

The fearless San Francisco government arrested Chinese workers on this grounds.

When the former Qing consuls encountered such a thing, they basically pretended to be deaf and dumb, and they just didn't implicate me. Poor Chinese workers in the United States have been bullied for so many years.

But Huang Zunxian, who had just taken office, was furious when he heard the news: I'll take care of it!

And he is a very strategic person.

Huang Zunxian, who challenged the San Francisco government, did not make noise or make trouble. He just went to the San Francisco prison and investigated the San Francisco prison where Chinese workers were imprisoned in detail, from the size of the house to the sanitation conditions. Then he moved out of the US law and threw it hard on the face of San Francisco officials.

The prison conditions in San Francisco are serious illegal, and detention of Chinese workers is even more serious illegal. If you don’t believe it, let’s see you in court.

Then he moved out of International Law and launched a public opinion offensive in the United States.

Then, there was a historic moment: the Consul General of the Qing Dynasty had the power to issue licenses to Chinese workers, and overseas Chinese in the United States were protected by law from then on.

After saying this allusion, He You said to Han Huaiyi with tears: "Sir, because he has been in Japan for many years, he later wrote this book called "Japan Guozhi."

This book was sent to the Zongli Yamen of the Qing Dynasty. Xiangshuai and others highly praised it, but it was refrigerated by the Manchus.

After the 1891890s, Manren finally took out the book and published it, but Huang Zunxian received not praise but infamy.

Because Manren actually knows so well about Japan, why didn’t he publish this book earlier? It was obviously a ill-intention.

"It's simply outrageous." Han Huaiyi cursed, and He You said, "That's right, the gentleman was disheartened and passed away in March last year! But the gentleman has a last wish."

"Abolish the regulations on restricting Chinese workers?"

"Yes. Now the gentleman is famous all over the world, and his reputation is far beyond what his mentor was like back then. If so..."

Before Han Huaiyi could finish his words, he said, "Okay, I promise you."

"Ah?" He You were all surprised.

Han Huaiyi said seriously: "I promise you. I will learn about this matter in detail and then react."

"real?"

"Yes, this is not done for the Qing Dynasty, it is done for China, and I hope you can understand the difference between the two, although you are the Consul General of the Qing Dynasty in San Francisco."

He You smiled bitterly and said, "I understand."

"You only have these two things to ask me?" Han Huaiyi asked him again, and He You nodded: "I only have these two things to ask Mr. Han. I didn't expect Mr. Han to accept it, which really makes the students very grateful."

Han Huaiyi stood up: "There is nothing to be grateful for. My friends all know my words, to realize my self-worth, take good care of my family, help kind people, speak out for the ethnic group, and strive for glory for the country."

"Sir, have done it."

"No." Han Huaiyi looked at him: "The last step is far away! Because the Qing court is not worth my efforts."

He You was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer the conversation.

Han Huaiyi smiled: "Don't think I'm targeting you. I'm telling the truth. In addition, I want to thank you for telling me this thing I overlooked. You also know that from my perspective, sometimes I can't see the suffering of those Chinese workers. Those who can come to me are all outstanding people among Chinese workers, but that's a minority after all."

After He You said goodbye, Han Huaiyi sat there and thought for a long time.

He didn't take the negotiations the next day to heart.

The next morning at 8:00.

There were reporters and onlookers outside the San Francisco City Hall.

Seven Japanese including Mitsui Mashu arrived on time. Five minutes after they entered the venue, Han Huaiyi and Ford, Brian Johnson and Tesla arrived here.

The spacious town hall is for the San Francisco Council.

So it's enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

In the center of the interior is a long table.

Mitsui Mingfu and others who were waiting by the side did not protest or dissatisfied with Han Huaiyi sooner or later.

They are obviously mentally prepared for what they are today.
