Chapter 1165 (First update, please subscribe)
Immigrant ship!
Although with the changes in the situation in China, especially the end of the "Dingwu Qihuang" where hundreds of millions of people were affected and tens of millions of people died, the grand scene of 500 million immigrants pouring into Daming and the colonies has long since disappeared. , But in the 14 years of Sidley, millions of immigrants still came to the empire every year by immigrant boats, but unlike the past, nine out of ten immigrants are now resettled in colonies or overseas provinces.

Among these immigrants, there are both Chinese and Dongying people, but the Chinese are called immigrants, and the Dongying people are called laborers.The difference between the two is that the former can be allocated land, while the latter... is wage earners.

The wage-earners boarded the first-generation immigrant ships—the crowded cabins were like canned sardines. It was definitely not a relaxing and comfortable thing to sail on such a ship. In the memoirs of early immigrants, we can always see the Although it has been eliminated, it was purchased by private shipping companies to transport Japanese laborers.

When there were only more than 500 accommodation spaces for immigration ships, there were nearly [-] Japanese laborers crammed into them.Except for some laborers who were fishermen, when the others arrived in Hawaii, they were all dizzy and light-headed. Some died on the way and were thrown directly into the sea (wèi) for burial (yú).

After finally setting foot on the land of Hawaii, when these people looked at this strange place with blank and expectant eyes, Wu Tengshan, who was standing in a crate on the trestle bridge, spoke loudly in Chinese.

"Everyone has it!"

When Wu Tengshan, holding a samurai sword in his hand, spoke, the people who had just landed stood there, looking at this samurai master in awe.

It has to be said that Dongying people's awe of samurai comes from the bottom of their hearts.

"I won't say anything else, but what I need to tell you is, first—you must understand your identities. All of you are laborers who have signed a five-year contract. During this period, you must work hard for your master. ! Obey the master's order! Second——We and the Dongying people can come to this hot land and live a prosperous life, all thanks to the blessing of the empire, we must serve the empire every day and serve the emperor as our duty..."

They are talking about big principles, and there is no serious prestige. It is just to let them understand that they must recognize their identities and work hard for the Chinese masters. Only in this way can they settle down here in the future.

Wang Kaiyun looked at the native woman in astonishment, and when he was dumbfounded, Xu Zengjie said endlessly.

For the people of Dongpu, the language barrier is the first barrier for them to change their own destiny. Only after passing this barrier can they truly become second-class citizens of the empire.

When he said that Dongying people are also Chinese people, Heijiro's tone was full of pride, and he said as he walked.

In fact, it is not clear at all. Whether it is in the mainland of Japan or in overseas colonies, the clothes of the people of Japan, including their speech, are getting closer and closer to the empire. If it is not because of the novelty, sushi looks like sushi in Japan and the empire. Dongying foods such as Nvtaisheng and Yusheng are very popular among Ming men, especially the rich, so they have been preserved.I am afraid that within a few years, even the food of Japan will be assimilated, but even assimilation will eventually be integrated into the imperial food culture.

But even so, when Wang Kaiyun saw those scantily clad Bohemian women on the pier, he was still dumbfounded.

"Not soon, but already. Now the Chinese are the largest ethnic group in Hawaii. After all, we Dongying people are also Chinese! If you count us, there are about 6 to [-] people!"

"I understand."

Finally, Goto was able to wander around Honolulu accompanied by his fellow countryman Heijiro.

"Doesn't that mean that the Chinese will soon be able to..."

However, cultures always influence each other and intersect each other. Just like the current Ming Dynasty, new women's robes are also popular-combining Western and Western tailoring methods to make the body of the robe more fit. There are robes, um, almost Another world's Shanghai-style cheongsam, this improved gown is loved by many women.

Goto, who squinted his eyes, looked around, and then said to Heijiro beside him:
"It's like being in China."

Grass skirts!

Where would the men hang out?
It must be a brothel, but for Goto, who only had a few yuan on him, he didn't dare to spend money at will, so he could only wander around the street.

How was it exposed?
Those aboriginal women were only wearing a sarong and a tube top, their lower abdomen and even their navel were completely exposed, so what Wang Kaiyun felt was not just "disgraceful", but a sense of shamelessness!
Hearing what he said, Xu Zengjie leaned into Wang Kaiyun's ear and whispered:
"Sir, I don't know. Now the local natives are at least wearing dresses. In the past, they were all wearing grass skirts..."

"Eighty thousand... How many people are there in Hawaii?"

"It was not like this when I first arrived here almost ten years ago. At that time, there were only one or two thousand Chinese in Honolulu at most, but now in Honolulu, the number has probably exceeded [-]..."

"It's simply shameless. How can a girl from a good family dress so revealingly."

"Goto, you must learn Mandarin well. If you want to be a Chinese, the first thing you need to do is to learn Mandarin first. If you master Mandarin well, you will have a future to talk about."

Fortunately, although they are laborers, the Chinese people are kind-hearted, and they will never treat them like slaves like Westerners. Generally speaking, they still take care of these "compatriots of the same kind". During the epidemic prevention and isolation period, apart from official unity In addition to board and lodging, the employers' farms also sent some medicines to treat acclimatization and food such as fruits. After they raised them there for a few days, they almost regained their spirits and could go to work on the farm.

If you ask what is the most important thing to learn in Japan today, it must be Mandarin. Even for workers like them, if they want to work in overseas colonies, they need to pass the language barrier first. If you speak Mandarin, you don't have the opportunity to go overseas.

Walking on the streets of Sandersan, you can see that the streets here are very prosperous.The streets are bustling with horse-drawn carriages, some carrying goods and some carrying people.Whether walking on the street or sitting in a carriage, most of them are Chinese people with yellow skin and black hair.

However, after the isolation was lifted, they still had a day of free activities. On this day, outside the labor isolation camp, some familiar fellow countrymen and friends were waiting outside the camp early on, waiting to show them around.

However, Hawaii is relatively conservative, because most of the people here are new immigrants, and their thinking is relatively conservative. Unlike in the mainland of the empire, people's thinking is more or less influenced by European residents.

Heijiro's voice was a little low:

"If you don't count the nationals of various countries, there are only 8 to [-] people! Even if you count the foreigners, there are only a little over [-] people."

"And in the empire, many women dress more revealingly than they do!"

what!
Wang Kaiyun couldn't believe what his ears heard.

Dress more revealing than them?

Isn't that shameless?
Wang Kaiyun couldn't help being a little dazed, and couldn't even believe what he heard...
