Opening game, American Tycoon

Chapter 538 Mr. Li is here (fourth update, please subscribe)
Storms are always brewing invisible, just when the Beihai Governor's District and the Northwest Region became Ming's overseas territories, and the influx of immigrants aroused the vigilance of the United States.After departing from Haizhou, the "Fumin" immigrant ship sailed all the way to the ocean. During the period, it stopped at several ports such as Xinxiamen Port in Chenggong Islands. It was already early April when it finally arrived at Linhaipu Port.

Like many people, although Yung Wing has always been obsessed with Nanhua in recent years and has been paying attention to collecting information about Nanhua, this is the first time he has come back to Nanhua. No, it should be Daming.

Now they arrived at Linhai Bay of the Ming Empire.

Standing on the deck, Yung Wing felt a little dazed when the port was getting closer and closer to him. The trestle bridge as wide as a street, the towering steel crane, the train smoking on the track... Finally, there is the rear of the port That bustling seaside city.

skyscraper!
Several high-rise buildings with a height of more than [-] meters, or even more than [-] meters, always make people feel a kind of unprecedented shock. Yung Wing originally thought that all this would not surprise him too much—these "miracles" of the industrial age, When he was studying in the United States, he also saw it, and he himself learned about it through various channels, even in the pictorial of "Life Weekly", he also snooped, and saw similar things to some extent.However, when Linhai Port really appeared in front of him, Rong Wing held his breath, the scene in front of him was completely beyond his imagination.

As for Li Jingfang and the more than [-] overseas students sent by Governor Li, they all stared at the city in amazement-this is a world beyond their comprehension.

The large and small chimneys in the industrial area on one side of the harbor spit black smoke into the air, and the steam locomotive on the trestle stretching into the bay shrouds the trestle. In this cloud and mist, like strength, the goods weighing tens of tons, or even hundreds of tons, were lifted out of the cabin.

In the clouds and mist, harsh whistles and sirens sounded one after another, and everything showed that this was a busy port.Linhai, in Daming's plan, is the most important city of Daming in Araucania, not only the capital of this region, but also one of Daming's industrial centers on the Pacific coast.That's why the port can be so busy.

"It's just Linhai City, which is so prosperous. I don't know what Nanhua looks like?"

Li Jingfang couldn't help but have expectations in his heart, and most of the others are also like this.

After completing the 7-day epidemic prevention and quarantine, Yung Wing and Li Jingfang, who are government-sent foreign students, of course do not need to enter the immigrant education camp like new immigrants.Of course, they didn't get much privilege—they cut off their braids like everyone else in the isolation camp.

They have no other choice. When they come to Daming, men must cut their braids, and women must let their feet go. This is mandatory.

Just like they are in the immigrant education camp, they have to develop frequent bathing and a series of other corresponding living habits.

In order for them to maintain those good living hygiene habits, corresponding corporal punishment is naturally inevitable.For Mr. Li and his party, of course they would not experience this.After all, those hygiene habits are something they have long been accustomed to.

In order to integrate into Daming as much as possible, when they were in the isolation camp, they specially bought local clothes and dressed like the locals.

After leaving the isolation station, the group embarked on a journey to Nanhua at Linhai Railway Station.

They are not unfamiliar with trains. After all, there are trains in the Qing Dynasty. They don't even squeeze into third-class seats like ordinary passengers. They don't even go to second-class seats, but sleep directly in the soft sleeper compartment. .

As soon as the train started, Li Xuexian took the initiative to go to Li Jingfang and said.

"My lord, do you want to experience Daming's street life in an ordinary carriage?"

Li Xuexian, who was born in a landlord's family in Fuyang, Northern Anhui, would always deliberately make friends with Mr. Li along the way. After all, he is the Mr. Governor's eldest son. After returning to China after studying, he will naturally have a bright future with his care.

"also!"

Seeing that Mr. Rong didn't respond, Li Jingfang's young mind naturally agreed. He walked a few more cars from the soft sleeper car, and finally arrived at the second class car. Like the carriages, the seats here are the kind of wooden chairs sitting back to back, facing each other, the seats are not comfortable to sit on, and they are not very spacious.

The passengers in the carriage included both Chinese and foreign devils. There was a foreign devil sitting next to them. Although the smell on his body was terrible, they had no choice but to endure it.

However, the smell of perfume from the opposite side made Li Jingfang cast his eyes on the foreign girl opposite. You can see the gully on the chest.

"It's really, really incredible!"

While slandering, Li Jingfang's gaze always fell on the girl involuntarily, and even caused some physical changes to the young girl—fortunately, he didn't notice these on the train, avoiding the possibility of making a fool of himself.

The girl leaning on the small table with her elbows and her chin resting on her hand was looking at the book, as if she was reciting something. Li Jingfang, who was a little curious, took a peek. In the girl's hand was a small book the size of a palm, printed on it. The writings are all Chinese characters in Song style, and there are also foreign characters corresponding to them.
Li Jingfang, who grew up in the Governor's Mansion, also studied foreign languages. Although he mainly studied English and French, he still knew that the books were in Spanish.

After observing carefully for a while, he found that the girl seemed to be working hard to learn Chinese.

"This foreign girl actually learns Chinese!"

The girl who was concentrating on her studies didn't notice Li Jingfang's surprise, not to mention Li Jingfang, even Li Xuexian noticed it. When they looked at the eldest son, both of them showed surprise in their eyes.

"My lord, look over there..."

A few seats away, a foreign devil was chatting with the passenger opposite in blunt Chinese.

Foreigners are all speaking Chinese!

Li Jingfang was stunned by this discovery. Who would have thought that foreigners would take the initiative to learn Chinese?And these people seem to be just ordinary people.

In fact, what active learning is there!
What Li Jingfang didn't know was that now on Daming's side, no matter whether you want to or not, you must learn to speak Chinese, otherwise, it is very likely that you will be unable to move forward.Because everything is inseparable from Chinese characters, even the flight attendants in the railway company speak Chinese.

"Eldest son!"

Li Xuexian, who suddenly remembered something, took out the train ticket from his pocket.This is his train ticket to Nanhua City. The ticket is a small cardboard ticket, which looks no different from the ticket of the Qing Dynasty.

How could there be a difference?That is, the carriages in the two places are the same, and they are all products of the same factory.

"Look, what's printed on it?"

The ticket said "Linhai-South China East" and "Second Class Soft Sleeper Car".At the bottom is the date and a line of small characters: Only take the car on the day.

"There's not a single word in Spanish on it!"

Not a single Spanish!
It was not on the ticket, nor on the carriage. Li Jing just remembered that he hadn’t seen any Spanish characters at the station, and even the staff at the station spoke Chinese.He even thought that many of the passers-by in the station were foreigners, no matter how they were dressed, their expressions were the same—walking timidly.

Seems very out of place, what is it that they don't get used to?
Of course it’s because they can’t speak Chinese anymore. In Daming, even if there are millions of people who speak Spanish, no one is used to their bad habits—the environment forces them to learn to speak Chinese, otherwise, it’s bound to be difficult for them to move forward. !
