Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 86 Piggy
Yin Hai said in a deep voice: "The news should be reliable. The conflict between Nalan Yuanshu and the British Consulate did not happen in a day or two. I guess the British have had enough. What's more, Nalan Yuanshu was a radical reformer. Pai, this time the old witch launches a coup, I’m afraid he will also be liquidated.”

Yin Qi nodded slowly and said, "Continue to pay attention to this matter and see who will take over after Nalan Yuanshu leaves."

In fact, he is also keen on this position.

Although it was normal for the Manchus to sell officials and get titles, admirals were first-class military attachés and could not be bought with money.

You know, there are currently as many as 2 new troops in Hangzhou.

If you can become an admiral, you can get [-] new troops.

However, Yin Qi is not in a hurry. The Fuxing Society will enter the fast lane of development next, and the Hangzhou New Army is their key infiltration target. Sooner or later, everyone will have the surname Yin.

……

The next morning, Yin Qi received a telegram from Hangzhou.

Yes, Shaoxing Prefecture has also laid lines.

The telegram was from Nalan Yuanshu, asking him to leave for Hangzhou immediately.

Yin Qi was confused, what did Nalan Yuanshu want from him?
Moreover, looking at the content of the telegram, the word "urgent" is filled between the lines. Could it be because of the failure of the Reform Movement of [-], or because of the upcoming transfer?
With doubts, Yin Qi confessed to Zhang Youchu, and then he and Yan Zhendong rode fast horses to Hangzhou.

Yan Zhendong has completely surrendered to him.

Not only is he the head of his bodyguard, but he is also the martial arts coach of the group.

Normally, Yan Zhendong doesn't need to protect him. Shaoxing is his home base, and there are basically no individuals or forces that can harm him. But this time he went to Hangzhou, so it would be safer to take him with him.

……

There is heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Even in the chaotic times of the late Qing Dynasty, Hangzhou was still extremely prosperous.

After entering the city, Yin Qi said: "It's almost noon, let's find a place to eat, and then go to the Admiral's Yamen in the afternoon."

Yan Zhendong naturally nodded in agreement.

The two rode horses and walked slowly to avoid hitting pedestrians.

woohoo!

There were bursts of noise ahead.

Yin Qi looked up and saw a large number of people gathered not far ahead.

A young man with braided hair and a suit stood on the high platform and shouted vigorously: "Come and take a look, take a look. Don't miss it if you are passing by."

My name is Wang Ergou. Like you, I used to be a child from a poor family.

I didn’t have enough to eat or wear warm clothes every day, and I almost starved to death.

Fortunately, there is always a way, and my old cousin came back from the United States.

Seeing that I was poor, he directly gave me 100 yuan. Only then did I know that he was rich.

Sure enough, after I asked my old cousin, I found out that he had gone to the United States.

Everyone in the United States knows.

It's thousands of miles away from us.

There is a place called San Francisco. There are gold mines everywhere, and even the rivers are filled with gold sand. This is also the origin of their name San Francisco.

My older cousin made his fortune hunting for gold in San Francisco.

At my request, my old cousin decided to take me to pan for gold, and at the same time, he also gave all fellow villagers a chance to make a fortune.

Now my old cousin has established a relationship with the Americans and chartered a passenger ship.

As long as you pay ten oceans in travel expenses, we will drag you to San Francisco, USA, to go gold mining.

In less than two years, you can come back to buy fields, marry wives and concubines, and live happily for the rest of your life.

Dear fellow citizens, this is a rare opportunity.

Two years of hard work and a lifetime of happiness. "

The man in the suit has an impassioned voice and his speech is very contagious.

As he kept shouting, more and more people were attracted around him.

Everyone's blood boiled when they heard it, and their eyes glowed with gold, as if they were about to get rich.

"San Francisco, just by hearing the name, you will know that it is full of gold mines!"

"No wonder foreigners are so rich. It turns out there are many gold mines there. If I go there, wouldn't I also be able to make a fortune?"

"Ten dollars, the toll is so expensive!"

"Yes, yes, brother Wang, ten yuan of travel expenses is too fast. We are all poor people, how can we get it?"

"Brothers from the Wang family, can you tell your cousin to take us to San Francisco first, and then pay for the travel expenses after we find the gold sand?"

...Everyone was chattering and making a lot of noise.

The corners of the man's mouth in the suit secretly curled up, and he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Everyone, my old cousin and I are taking you to make a fortune, but we have to pay for the travel expenses. This is a bit unreasonable, right? Otherwise, after you go back, Ask relatives and friends to borrow money, and when you get rich, are you afraid that you won’t be able to pay back the money?”

"Brothers from the Wang family, we are all poor people, how can we borrow ten yuan from an ocean!"

"Brother, there is gold everywhere in San Francisco. When we find the gold sand, we will return it to you immediately!"

"Yeah, at worst we'll give you some interest!"

The people persuaded him one after another.

All kinds of pleading and bitterness cards.

Yin Qi's face looked a little ugly. It was nonsense to say that there was gold everywhere in San Francisco. The purpose was to buy these people into the United States and work as hard labor, commonly known as piggies.

These piglets are no different from slaves. They have to complete heavy labor every day, and they don't have enough to eat. They have almost no medical conditions. Therefore, people die of fatigue or die of illness every day.

Take the Pacific Railway in the United States as an example. Tens of thousands of Chinese workers participated in its construction, and more than 2000 people died in the end.

It can be said that this railway was built on the bones of Chinese workers.

"Master, what kind of San Francisco is this? Is there really gold everywhere?"

Yan Zhendong asked curiously.

To be honest, if he hadn't taken refuge in Yin Qi, he would have been tempted.

Yin Qi said coldly: "How is it possible? Foreigners are greedy and regard wealth as life. If they really have golden mountains everywhere, will they allow us Chinese to go panning for gold sand?"

Yan Zhendong thought about it. He and Yin Qi had been to Shanghai and met many foreigners. They basically talked about money.

He asked curiously: "If that's the case, then what are they doing?"

Yin Qi said in a deep voice: "It's very simple. They tricked people into selling them to the United States. They called them piggies!"

"Piggy, they deserve to die!"

Yan Zhendong's eyes showed a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Master, we should expose them. These people are so heartless that they will do anything for money."

Yin Qi nodded, sandwiched his legs between the horse's belly, and walked towards the high platform.

Now that he has encountered it, how can he just sit back and watch.

On the high platform, the man in a suit looked like he couldn't bear to beg. He sighed and said: "A good person will do his best to send Buddha to the West. In this case, we will take you to San Francisco first. But in order to prevent someone from reaching the United States If you default on the debt, you still have to write this IOU, and we also have to charge some interest. I hope everyone can understand."

"Okay, the Wang family brothers are righteous!"

"Thank you, Brother Wang, you are such a good person!"

"Good people are rewarded. When I get to San Francisco, I will pay you back as soon as I make money!"

……

Everyone was overjoyed.

The man in the suit said with a smile: "We are all fellow villagers. This is what we can do. Let's go here. Everyone lines up here and signs the contract one by one with their fingerprints."

There was a row of tables on one side of the high platform, with more than a dozen registered people sitting there.

woohoo!

When everyone heard the words, they all crowded in and scrambled to be the first.

The man in a suit said loudly: "Don't crowd, come one by one. The contract is in duplicate and everyone has it."

"Hey, why are they all in foreign languages?"

The first group of people who were about to sign the contract suddenly turned around and asked.

The man in the suit explained calmly: "The ship belongs to foreigners, and of course this contract is also in foreign language. You will have to rely on this contract to get on the ship when the time comes. When you arrive in the United States, you will also need to rely on this contract to obtain a work visa. Otherwise, it is Those who cross the border illegally will be deported."

"Oh!"

Everyone suddenly nodded, so that's it.

Sure enough, the United States is different. You don’t need a work visa to go gold mining.

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment, Yin Qi shouted loudly.

　It will be on the shelves at noon tomorrow, so there will be no separate chapters.

　　I asked the editor and found that there are more than 500 readers.

　　In this way, there will be a minimum of ten updates tomorrow.
