1850 American Gold Tycoon.

"What a bunch of good grapes you bastards! Wouldn't it be nice to sell them at a good price? You must sell them at a damn cheap price!"

"It's not that you old immigrants didn't treat us as human beings last year! You didn't even say hello when you bought grapes, and sold your own grapes for a good price first, causing our grapes to rot in the field!"

"This is the market, do you know?! Do you know what the market is? The market is one price a day, and there is a profit and a loss! I am willing to bet and accept the loss! If you can't afford it, I will give you a boat ticket to return to Daqing to continue planting sweet potatoes!"

"Damn! Go to the fucking market! All I know is that I still owe a whole lot of money to the bank! I'll be in a hurry with anyone who won't let me sell the grapes today! I'm willing to bet against anyone! No matter what, it's your turn to lose this year, old immigrants!"

The two sides insisted on their own words, you and I quarreled.

However, both sides are thunderous and rainy, which is also an old tradition in Fujian and Guangdong.

When everyone swears at the street, the most they do is throw stones and rotten leaves, and it is difficult to really fight.

Even if there is a fight, let the other party do it first, after all, the police in Stockton are watching.

Gathering crowds to fight in California is not a trivial matter, and at the lightest, you have to go to prison, and finally serve 2 to 5 years of hard labor.

Whoever strikes first will be the party at the wrong end in court.

Of course, these immigrants from Hongti Village scolding each other are not only Chinese immigrants, but also a small number of Mexican immigrants, immigrants from eastern America, and even French immigrants.

These non-Chinese immigrants also chose their camps on a first-come, first-served basis.

But it was obvious that some of them didn't have a good brain, so they picked up a stick from the grape trellis and knocked it on the skull.

The unlucky ghost who was hit in the head by a sap fell down on the bed before he had time to grunt.

"Murder!"

I don't know who shouted such a sentence in the crowd.

The tacit understanding of only talking but not doing was finally broken.

Out of control and restraint, the two sides fought in the square.

At first, everyone was able to tell the difference between the enemy and the enemy. After all, Hongti Village is such a place the size of a palm. Everyone looked down and saw each other, and they were already familiar with each other.

But soon, as the formation was broken up, the two sides fought more and more, and it soon turned into a farce of fighting everyone.

"Didn't you say that these people have sense of proportion? Why did they fight directly?" Liang Yao watched with a gloomy face as the group of villagers were fighting under his nose.

"Accident, accident." Chen Baoliang could only explain the cause of the fight by accident.

"Put all these people who gathered to fight in prison."

Liang Yao pulled out the revolver at his waist and fired all six bullets in the magazine in one go.Then he waved his hand, signaling the Stockton police and his guards to control the grape growers who were fighting in the square.

Although the situation was under control, it had already turned into a fatality.Three growers, two men and one woman, two of them were beaten to death, and one was trampled to death.As for the wounded, there are more.

The Stockton police shook their heads resignedly after inspecting their bodies.

"It's not a trivial matter to gather people to fight and kill people. Let the state send people to deal with it and open a court to hear the case."

Encountering this incident, Fremont's good mood was also swept away, and he sighed.

"This matter was not handled properly. It is the Ministry of Agriculture and the Agricultural Association's negligence. If similar things happen in the future, Chen Baoliang, your Minister of Agriculture will be done." Liang Yao was also in a very bad mood.

As long as the Ministry of Agriculture provides snacks and resolves this matter in time, the matter will not develop to such a point.

After leaving Hongdi Village, Liang Yao had no intention of going back to Stockton for dinner, but returned to his special train, headed to the Nevada area, and inspected the construction of the Pacific Railway with Fremont.

Hu Jinchen has already gone to Los Angeles to prepare for the establishment of Los Angeles Petrochemical, and now Hu Jinchen's job is taken over by Carnegie.

Liang Yao walked to the desk on the special train and sat down. Several newspapers that Liang Yao often read and the recent telegrams sent to him were neatly placed on the desk.

Stations along the Cal Railroad line have been equipped with telegraph rooms for dispatching trains on the line.

Therefore, even if Liang Yao is not in the Tingtao Garden in San Francisco, he can still receive the telegram sent to him.

There were three of the most important of these telegrams, the first of which was sent from Paris.

To be precise, it was sent from Paris to New York in the form of a letter, and then the telegraph office in New York sent the letter to California by cable.

This is the fastest way of communication between California and Europe. It only takes a little over two weeks for Liang Yao to receive the news from Paris.

In the era when the Atlantic submarine cable had not yet been laid, the transoceanic information transmission between the Atlantic Ocean still needed to be transmitted by cruise ship.

James told him that in addition to the daily urging of kerosene, he was also asked to stock up on more arms, especially ammunition, and told him that a major war was about to break out in Europe in the near future.

James' sense is still very keen, and the news is also very well-informed.

Although James' judgment that Britain and France would join the war around Christmas was a little bit wrong, it was already very accurate. He even made a judgment in the letter that the Kingdom of Sardinia would form an alliance with France to fight against Russia.It can be seen how well-connected the information network of the Rothschild family is in Europe.

A second telegram was sent from Fillmore in Washington, where Gadsden, the American ambassador in Mexico City, and the new Mexican president negotiated the purchase of territories in northern Mexico, which had created fresh tension.

Fillmore asked Liang Yao to send more troops to the US-Mexico border to put pressure on Mexico, and he must help Ambassador Gadsden obtain as much Mexican territory as possible at the lowest cost.

Fillmore made no secret of his territorial ambitions for Mexico.

He is determined to win Mexico's territory, and he also smells the smell of war from the turbulent situation in the Europa continent in the past few months.

The America of the mid-nineteenth century was not the America of the Americans, but the America of the Europas.

But as long as a war breaks out on the Europa continent and Britain and France have no time to look around, America will be the Americas of the Americans for the time being.

California's industrialization requires high-quality iron ore. Although the California Coal and Steel Alliance also has Mexican iron ore owners, Liang Yao can successfully obtain high-quality and cheap Mexican high-quality iron ore from Mexico.

But it would be a great thing if the iron mining area in Mexico could be taken directly and the iron mining area could be directly included in the bag.

Mexico did not dare not to sell him iron ore, which does not mean that the British and French will not interfere in the future.

Especially the British, who have offended Liang Yao more than once.

The iron ore area still feels more at ease in my hands.

This was Liang Yao's only chance to acquire the Mexican iron mine, and he had to seize it.
