Capital Datang

Thea ate very full last night, and stayed on the boat for such a long time. When she first landed, most people would experience a kind of landsickness symptoms, just like a person would experience seasickness when taking a boat for the first time. After a long time on the boat, I also feel very uncomfortable when I first land on land.

It was also for this reason that Thea fell asleep immediately after returning to the residence arranged for them in the city after eating, and didn't even have time to visit the yard where she lived. The sun didn't show a ray of light until this morning. At that time, Thea finally woke up from her dream.

When Thea opened her eyes, she found that the house was still a little dark. She got up and looked at the parents next to her, only to find that they were sleeping soundly.Thea is a very sensible child. She put on her shoes lightly, walked out of the bedroom and walked around the living room before finally walking into the yard.It wasn't until here that Thea began to look at her new residence.

This is a small courtyard with a small area. Behind Thea is the main house of this courtyard. Except for the living room in the middle, the left and right sides can be used as bedrooms.In front of the main house is a small yard, on the right is a neat side room, which can be used for guests to stay, and on the left is a kitchen. Thea walked in curiously, and found that the kitchen was used for cooking. The stove and iron pot, and even half a bag of rice and firewood next to it.

Thea remembered that the person who received them yesterday said that starting from this morning, they needed to cook by themselves, but she didn't expect that all the ingredients for cooking were ready, which made her very grateful.Thea had drank rice porridge on the boat before, and had seen how the chef on board made rice porridge. At that time, she knew that she might need it in the future, so she wrote it down.Capital Datang 687

In fact, from Thea's point of view, making rice porridge is similar to cooking broth in the tribe. You need to boil water and then put rice or meat in it.It's just that it was the first time for Thea to make rice porridge, and she didn't know how much rice the three of them would need to add, so in the end they had to add a random bowl.As a result, the rice porridge was too thick, even if a chopstick was inserted into the pot, it wouldn't fall.

Just as Thea had just finished making the rice porridge, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside, which made Thea a little strange. Their family had just moved here, and they didn't know anyone at all, and it was early in the morning, so the people who got up rare.Who will come at this time?

Although she felt strange, Thea walked quickly to the gate, and then opened the door a gap. What surprised her was that there was a carriage parked outside, and there was a Han Chinese girl about her own age sitting in the carriage. , and the person who knocked on the door was a Han Chinese youth in his 20s, who was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Who are you looking for?" Thea asked cautiously.Although the officials who received them yesterday assured that they were very safe in Coconut City, Xi Ya had long developed the habit of being vigilant in the tribe.Especially now in a relatively unfamiliar place.

Han youths are also very shrewd characters, and they immediately saw the vigilance in Thea's eyes.Immediately showed a kind smile and said: "Hello, little girl, my name is Ma Lin, and I am also a resident of Yecheng. The one in the car is my little sister. We brothers and sisters heard that you just moved here yesterday, so we prepared I bought some meat and vegetables, and some canned food for everyone. It can be regarded as a little landlord friendship from the people of Coconut City.”

Thea blinked her beautiful big eyes, and after thinking about it seriously, she realized that the other party had sent something to them, which made Thea relax her vigilance.But before Thea opened her mouth to thank her.The girl in the car who was about her age jumped out of the car at this moment, ran over quickly and stared at Thea curiously, and said, "Hee hee, I finally met a girl, hello, my name is Ma Xiaoyu, your name is what name?"

"My...my name is Thea." Seeing the radiant Han Chinese girl in front of her, Thea said nervously.This is also her first contact with Han Chinese peers, so she seems a little overwhelmed.

That Xiang Ma Lin is a human spirit, he was afraid that his naughty sister would scare them, so he immediately interrupted them and said: "Okay, you two have plenty of time to spend together in the future, let's move things to the yard first!"

Although Ma Xiaoyu was naughty, she also knew that the business was important, so she greeted Thea in a friendly manner, then turned around and began to help move things, and Thea naturally stepped forward to help.Because the weather in Java is hot, meat and vegetables cannot be stored for a long time, so the Marin brothers and sisters don't give Thea much meat and vegetables, but the canned food that can be stored for a long time is brought down in two large boxes.

Just as they were moving things into the yard, Thea's parents also woke up, and they were taken aback when they saw Marin. It wasn't until Thea explained to them that Thea's parents became happy, and said to the Marin brothers and sisters. Thanking the others, while helping them move things, Marin also took this opportunity to introduce each other to Thea's parents.

After moving the things, Marin suddenly said to Thea's father: "Brother Sam, you have settled in Coconut City now, do you have any plans in the future?"

Sam is Thea's father. He is only 30 years old this year. He used to be a very good hunter in the tribe, and he has a relatively honest personality. After hearing Marin's question, he immediately replied: "The one who received us last night The adults have already said, let us rest in peace for a few days, and then they will arrange for us to work, and we will definitely not be hungry and full like we used to be in the tribe."

Marin's eyes lit up when he heard Sam's answer, and he said eagerly: "Brother Sam, I have heard about the government's arrangements for you. Generally speaking, they will definitely give you two choices. The first is I will give you a piece of land to cultivate by yourself, and the second is to find you a job, such as doing some hard work in the port, or joining the government's construction team to build houses, etc., and these jobs are generally very hard. , the reward is not very high, you have to be mentally prepared for this."

When Sam heard this, he said worriedly: "We used to only hunt in the tribe, but never grew food, so we can only listen to the government's arrangement. I'm not afraid of hard work, but Brother Ma said the pay is low. , I don’t know if we can support our family?”

Yecheng is a newly-built port city. The city construction and the port are the most lacking of people, so Sam and the others are indeed likely to be assigned there. Although the work is relatively hard and the pay is not very high, it is actually relative. For example, for Sam's family, it is very easy to support the whole family with only Sam going out to work alone.

However, Marin obviously had other purposes, so he didn't answer Sam's question directly, but changed the subject and said: "Brother Sam, I think you are strong and strong, and you are proficient in hunting. You must have good skills, not as good as you How about working as a supervisor in our family's plantation? This job is not only easy, but also well-paid. The most important thing is that you can bring your sister-in-law to help cook. As for Thea, she is about the same age as my younger sister. What do you think about going to school with her?"

Marin's fox tail finally "revealed". He didn't give away things for nothing today, but in the name of giving things, he won a relationship with these Americans, and then recruited them to work in his plantation .

Marin's family runs the largest plantation in Coconut City, employing more than 20 supervisors and nearly a thousand slaves. Judging from the numbers alone, the number of supervisors is obviously insufficient, but there is a shortage of people everywhere these days. The selection of supervisors is not reassuring, so after hearing the news of the arrival of the Americans, the Ma family immediately mobilized everyone to dispatch, and even Marin even brought his 12-year-old little sister here, which shows that they are recruiting eagerness.

In fact, not only the Marin family, but almost all the plantation owners around Coconut City, as long as they heard the news of the arrival of the Americans, they all rushed back to the city immediately, either acting privately like the Ma family, or directly finding the government , asking the government to assign some manpower to them, anyway, each has its own way.Capital Datang 687

The news of the robbery by the various big plantation owners was quickly reported to Xu Jingzong. As a result, Xu Jingzong, who hadn’t gotten up at the time, jumped up from the bed, and directly ordered officials at all levels to act immediately to gather all the Americans. , and then arrange to work in ports and other places according to their wishes.

For these Americans who arrived, Xu Jingzong really wanted to arrange them to work in the two industries of port and construction. After all, this is directly related to his political achievements, but he did not expect those big planters to move so quickly. They rushed into the city to rob people.

Moreover, Xu Jingzong can't directly order people not to have contact with Americans. After all, Daqi is more particular about freedom, and government orders can't be "randomly" issued. Otherwise, if the people are dissatisfied, they can directly complain to the Inspectorate, and it may even be reported by the newspaper. At that time, he will not be able to afford to be the assassin.So he can only take advantage of the fact that not many Americans are being persuaded, and arrange all the people in the port and construction industries first. By then, the raw rice will be cooked. After the contract is signed, even if the Americans want to change jobs, they have to wait The contract expires.

Xu Jingzong's reaction was not unpleasant. The officials at all levels in Yecheng were also extremely efficient. They quickly organized all the Americans into the square, and then gave them two options. One was to give them land and let them work on their own. , but among the Americans, except for the Mayans, most of them hunt for a living, so they don’t know how to farm at all, so no one wants land at all, so most people choose to work.

It's just that Xu Jingzong was obviously a step too late. Plantation owners like the Ma family have already finalized recruitment agreements with many Americans. Men generally work as supervisors or guards, and women can also become plantation helpers. Moreover, the remuneration is higher than that in the wharf and construction industries, so in the end, there are only more than [-] Americans who are willing to listen to the arrangement of the government, which is not even half of the total number. This makes officials such as Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu I feel a little regretful, I should have settled the matter last night if I knew it earlier! (To be continued.
