Chapter 310: Rectify 3

After half a day of sailing against the current, several security ministry intelligence officers mixed into the labor force arrived on the steam ferry.
While the ship was docking, several security ministry intelligence officers looked around to observe the surrounding environment.
To the west of the river bank are rolling mountains and dense virgin forests.
The east side is located on the edge of the virgin forest. A small patch of shrubbery and weeds are spread out on the flat land, and the line of sight extends to the distance. The eyes are full of dense green and misty clouds. .
The flat land on the east side of the river bank is the land they need to reorganize. If there is no accident, the workers will work at the foot of the land for two years until the wasteland is reclaimed into a regular plantation.
The first batch of more than 200 workers who came ashore came into the forest with simple axe, hatchet and other tools. The lush foliage and green leaves obscured the sky above the forest. No wind could pass through the blockade composed of branches and leaves to reach the forest. ,
The hot, closed virgin forest is like a big stuffy box, tormenting more than two hundred workers below.
Soy-sized sweat beads dripped from the forehead, and fell on worn and faded coarse sandals. Under the sweat, even the straw shoes became wet.
The virgin forests of northern Argentina, the climatic conditions are close to tropical regions, and the natural environment is more hot and humid than that of southern Guangdong, Guangxi, and southern Fujian. When ordinary mainland Chinese just arrived here, they had to undergo a six-year adaptation period.
The shopkeepers of Yixing Shipping Co., Ltd. did not take the time to adjust the time for their workers. The ocean shipping vessel arrived in South America. After the necessary sanitary inspection and immigration registration, the Chinese immigrants who had only taken a two-day break had to experience a two-year employment. life.
Productivity brought about by the Second Industrial Revolution has greatly improved, and the lives of ordinary people have changed. Chinese people who fled from the mainland took a transport boat to South America in search of hope for survival. Every day they sweated like rain and worked like animals on a plantation. Like the deprived emotional puppet, there is no time for rest and entertainment, no time to think about the future way out, and some are just for themselves or their families to survive and strive to be patient.
The roar of steam machinery has brought advances in science and technology, and has given ordinary people an organized and fast-paced lifestyle.
However, compared with the classical agricultural society, the Chinese laborers have lost the idyllic and idyllic rural life, lost the freedom to work at sunrise and sunset, and lost their leisure time. "Under the fence of the chrysanthemum, you can see Nanshan leisurely." Natural tranquility.
In a way, the industrial development based on ordinary Chinese laborers struggling to survive is a historical regression in a certain period, and it is a price that must be paid to accumulate original capital in the early days of the country's establishment.
Relying on squashing the people at the bottom of the country to obtain the original capital for industrial development is a compelling choice for leaders with a conscience. But if you turn a blind eye to the sacrifice of the people at the bottom, ten years after the founding of the PRC, the achievements of industrial construction will still be fully attributed to the king and the National Defense Contributing to this, if the merchants and certain meritorious people are not stopped in time, the national capital that ordinary people have accumulated through their sweat and sweat is stolen, and then they are allowed to become the monopolistic class and the new vested interests, then the new ruling order will inevitably fall into the earlier The vortex of history will sooner or later be overthrown by the dissatisfaction and anger of the people at the bottom.
The rotten leaves and rotten trees under the virgin forest have not been accumulated for hundreds of years or thousands of years. The thick rotten leaves are nearly half a meter deep, and the Chinese workers walk on them, like stepping on layers of cotton beds. pad.
Unknown poisonous insects and snake ants often exist in the thick rotten leaf layer. One afternoon when Chinese workers worked in the virgin forest, eight people were injured by poisonous insect bites.
Too many Chinese workers were injured. Continued orders for workers to work may lead to more casualties. Therefore, the supervisors who supervised these workers temporarily suspended the reclamation task and gave more than 200 Chinese workers a rare break.
In the evening, more than a dozen bonfires burned lonely near the river bank. A group of three or five Chinese workers who had been tired for a long time gathered together, and only a pair of covered shorts were approved. In the river water, the sweat and fatigue of the body were washed with cool river water.
The river near the flat land is a rare place for heat dissipation and rest in the virgin forest. Not only do Chinese workers lie in the water to take a summer break, even a few directors and guys from Yixing Company have also selected a good place to go down the river to cool off the heat. .
The Chinese workers stayed in the river for about half an hour, and about the time of cooking, everyone left one after another and put on their jackets to prepare for dinner.
"The big guy is quiet, there is something to tell everyone before dinner."
More than two hundred Chinese workers came up from the water, a supervisor stood among the people, and said, "Several minor accidents occurred at the start of construction today, and eight workers were injured. For your safety, you have been rested for a long time. However, the progress of reclamation of the plantation could not be pulled down. I just discussed with several supervisors and decided to start tomorrow morning and set fire to waste. First burn the bushes on the periphery of the forest, and then gradually open the wasteland deep into the forest. The big guy has a full meal tonight, take a good rest for one night, and keep up the mental work tomorrow morning, as long as you all work hard and work hard, reclaim the wasteland in front of us, plant sugar cane, rubber, cocoa, maybe After two years, not only will you be able to repay the money owed to your family, you will also be able to save a fortune to marry your wife .... "
In front of the bonfire, the supervisor of Yixing Company loudly outlined the good life for the Chinese workers. Most of them just arrived in South America. The Chinese workers who did not understand the actual situation of Yixing Company were attracted by his words. They stared at the supervisor of Yixing Company. It reveals the beautiful hope of future life.
"This brother, you don't seem to agree with what the steward said?"
Outside the crowd, the intelligence officer noticed that a man with fluffy and messy hair and a good-looking man, when everyone else listened carefully to the steward's speech, only he looked expressionless and did not care what the steward said.
"I don't know how many times he's heard it, and then I hear cocoons in my ears."
The man scorned his mouth and said, "I went to South America two years ago, because I was weak and couldn't do heavy work. I worked for two years in the plantation under the name of Yixing Company ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The cost of travelling by boat, they don't arrange me to work with you again. "
"Guanxiongtai's words and deeds are like a scholar. How did he end up doing the labor in the plantation like me?"
"The poor are the only ones to be the best. What a scholar."
Swen Han mocked himself, "Manchu officialdom sells and sells lords, even if you spend money, you may not be able to buy a scarce county magistrate, let alone I am a poor talent."
"Xiaotai is also a hard-working man. Hearing that the disaster under the Manchu dynasty's government has not improved for several years, the five provinces of Zhili, Jin, Shaanxi, and Gansu have been affected by the disaster. People in the affected provinces lingered in other provinces to survive and flee the province. It's almost ten million, and I don't know when this disaster will end. "
"The Manchu dynasty had no way, and the sky was angry. If there was no way to live in the Central Plains and the next poor and talented man, he would not take his wife and children to abandon his ancestors to South America for a way to live."
The Ding Pengqi wasteland that broke out in 1874 affected a vast area and lasted for a long time. From 1874, the famine only appeared in a few small places, to the end of 1879, about 20 million people died in various places under the Manchu dynasty. Because of the impact of the famine, Similar undergraduates such as Tong Sheng and Xiu Cai also have no food or clothing. Survivors from overseas are even more common. The rapid development of the Han country has not caused the shortage of undergraduate reading talents as much as ten years ago. Therefore, some private transport ships Teams or the low-level scholars who have sneaked into South America have no chance to directly enter the government. …………
The intelligence officers dispatched by Sun Bin dispersed into the interior of Yixing Company in disguise as laborers, businessmen, etc., and then relied on the sophisticated intelligence skills and experience to continuously collect the inquired information into Sun Bin's hands, and then relayed it to The central government, Li Mingyuan personally reviewed the decision.
