Chapter 1146 Master Ma's ambition (third update, please subscribe)
Poza Rica is a city that has just risen in Mexico in the last ten years.

The incongruity between this bustling street market and other Mexican cities is that most of the buildings on both sides of the street are oriental, and few Spanish or European buildings are seen.

The buildings are hung with plaques, most of which are also written in square characters. Although there are Spanish characters, the Chinese characters are very large and the Spanish characters are very small.In the bustling market, under the corridor on the first floor, there are many shops that also sell herbal tea for cooling off, from pharmacy herbal tea to mint water, from Coca-Cola to Arctic Ocean soda.

In the high temperature at noon, the small teahouse under the corridor has always been the best resting place for passers-by.

Ma Baoguo blew on the slightly hot herbal tea in the tea bowl, and murmured in confusion:
"When I first came to Mexico, I only thought it was a place for foreigners, but I never thought of it, only to realize that we have more family members than foreigners? Hehe."

He was a little thirsty, took a sip of herbal tea, and the hot Ma Baoguo grinned and vomited the sweetness. He shook his head and looked around, and couldn't help saying to himself again:
"Hey, if it weren't for the taller buildings and cleaner clothes, this place would really be no different from domestic places."

Many Chinese who just came to Mexico from China felt the same way. Those who didn’t know it thought they had returned to China. Not only the plaques looked no different from China, but even the passers-by on the street spoke Mandarin with a southern accent and a northern accent.

Such an environment also made these newcomers breathe a sigh of relief. After all, this place is not full of foreigners like they first imagined.

"Master, you don't know that. The place of Poza Rica is prospered because of oil, oil fields and refineries. Most of the employees are Chinese, so this place is almost all Chinese."

Song Jian, who was sitting next to Master, explained that he was Master's great apprentice, and he came to Mexico five years ago because of his life. Like many Chinese here, he worked in an oil field.

"Oil? What is oil?"

Ma Baoguo asked with some doubts.

"Master, oil...the kerosene we used to light the lamps in our hometown is extracted from there. That thing is very valuable, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to pay twenty or thirty pesos."

"Two thirty silver dollars, that's a lot!"

Ma Baoguo was surprised, and said "hey" twice, thought for a while, looked at the plaque on the road, and thought for a while.Then say.

"Jianzi, what do you think Master would do if he opened a martial arts gym here?"

"What? Open a martial arts gym?"

Look at the master Song Jian's eyes widening.

The master was not mistaken, he actually wanted to open a martial arts gym here, he wrote a letter to ask the master to come here, but because he could earn money by working in this place.

"Yes, it is to open a martial arts hall to teach apprentices. I have been here for two days, and I have not seen anyone open a martial arts hall. Master, I have no skills, that is, I can do boxing. It can carry forward our Chinese Kung Fu."

While speaking, he wiped the sweat from the hot tea on his forehead with his sleeve:
"When the time comes, don't go to work in the oil field, just help me in the martial arts gym, we master and apprentice must make a name for ourselves here..."

"Master, this, this is unlikely."

"Improbable? Why, you don't believe in my kung fu, Master?"

"No, master, our workers who go to work in the factory and the mine are all members of the militia. They have to train every weekend, and they also have to learn how to grasp and learn Sanshou. If there is no money to teach, who will pay for it?" Pay to learn."

"What? You don't need money to teach martial arts? Then there is such a reason? What kind of militia! What about the students?"

Ma Baoguo pointed to the students on the road and asked.

"Student, we teach in school too!"

"Is there any mistake, this, this is why people open some kind of martial arts school."

Just as he was about to take a sip, he hesitated for a moment, but Ma Baoguo swallowed it back abruptly...

Why, you always have to save some face in front of your disciples.

"Master, I thought you were old, Jianzi, I think you go to the militia to hire a coach, and when the time comes..."

"Coach? The coach of the militia? What is this militia doing?"

"The militias are everywhere here, everywhere. Master, you don't know. Some governors in the localities are equivalent to our Chinese governors. The militias under their hands even surpass the empire's local troops. Ours If you don't have a gun in your hand, isn't it the fat in their mouths?"

"What? Isn't this forming an army to resist the government! The government won't ask?"

Where did Ma Baoguo care about the idea of ​​opening a martial arts gym, and asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean by forming an army to resist officials? The emperor asked us to build this militia. Even the rural mounted police were reorganized from mercenaries back then. The Mexican emperor looked at the emperor, but he relied on us. As for the Mexicans ,hey-hey……"

Song Jian smiled.

"It's not as reliable as us!"

"Why do we rely on outsiders to become the emperor?"

Ma Baoguo was a little dazed, and looked at the big apprentice in bewilderment.

"Master can't explain what he said in a few words. Anyway, this place is a mess. Let's take the militia as an example. Not only we have it, but the governors also have it, and those big landlords have it. So, you are always the teacher. There must be a place where you can use your talents, and the apprentice will ask you after turning back, and see if there is a need for a teacher over there."

"According to what you say, if there are so many militias, do those foreign devils have coaches?"

"Master? What are you always thinking about? You don't want to be a teacher for the foreign devils. This, this is not possible. We Chinese have to stick together when we come here, or we will..."

"What are you thinking? Your master, I am a traitor."

Ma Baoguo smiled "hehe" and said:

"I was thinking that since we all have a place to learn martial arts, then we can teach foreigners. This can be regarded as promoting our Chinese culture. Do you think this is the reason?"

We can't earn money from Chinese people, why can't we earn money from foreigners?

Song Jian was dumbfounded by what the master said. He looked at the master and asked,

"Teach, teach foreigners martial arts? Then, you can always speak Spanish."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether we will or not, the important thing is..."

What is it?
Ma Baoguo had his thoughts in his heart, so of course he would not tell his disciples,

"By the way, there are more foreigners in Mexico?"

Even foreigners are rarely seen in this place, and those who want to teach foreigners to practice martial arts have to change places.Well, the large number of Chinese is about to change the demographic structure of Mexico, but this is also true. In the past ten years, Mexico has also been the main destination of Chinese immigrants.

Although most of the land here is controlled by large plantation owners, Ming capital has invested here in oil fields, mines, railways and various other factories. When Mexican farmers are attached to large plantation owners as tenant farmers, the introduction of Immigrants Hiring immigrants has become the first choice of Mingyi capital.

As early as 1880, more than 150 million Chinese immigrants immigrated to Mexico. As of now, among Mexico's 1300 million population, Chinese immigrants and their descendants have exceeded 400 million.It is also because of this that many Chinese-dominated cities have emerged in Mexico.

Therefore, if Master Ma wants to spread Chinese Kung Fu culture, he really has to pick a place.

"Mexico City, there are not only a lot of foreigners, but also a lot of Chinese. If Master wants to teach martial arts, he should go there."
