[024] Dragon Scale Army on

"First of all, I want to tell you some good news, the good news that everyone knows: Longyi Gold Mine has started to produce 500 kilograms of gold in one month!"

"Secondly, I am very relieved to see Guangming Village developing so well. I hope everyone can regard Guangming Village as their second hometown. I believe that although it is cold here, it cannot stop our fiery ambition!"

"Finally, because our party's first stop: searching for gold mines has been completed, the rest is to continue to work hard to gain a foothold in North America, so that we Chinese people in North America also have the right to speak! Most of you here They are Chinese. Those brothers in the back row must also know about the "Chinese Exclusion Act" promulgated by the US government, right? How much contribution have we Chinese made that the United States can have today's booming development?... Countless fathers and fellow countrymen are buried in different places. But what do you get in exchange for it now? Humph, most of the Chinese people who came across the ocean can only do the lowest and most undignified jobs. For example, you...you are willing to live like this for your whole life? Let your My children, can they continue to live without dignity and without security? Answer me, are you willing? Are you willing?"

"This is what was discussed at today's meeting. Next, it is an internal meeting of the Dragon Scale Party. Please ask non-Dragon Scale Party members to leave!"

"Well, the probationary party members can stay, there are five places, and the ones with the best performance recently will be selected... From now on, internal meetings of the Dragon Scale Party will follow this example..."

Watching the two doors close, two guards holding rifles stood at the door of the hall, and more than 40 people who were watching did not leave for a long time.

Long Hao's speech shocked them too much. This young man who was heard to be from the northeast of the motherland, actually not only wanted to dig gold mines, but also wanted to build a home in this cold, barren, and desolate foreign land? How many elders Some of the Chinese workers were secretly horrified: Alaska is the rightful land of the Yankees. If Mr. Long wants to take root here, he may attract American soldiers to attack him. I heard that the Yankees are good at fighting, have guns and money, how can we resist? oh……

But more people are thinking in their hearts: Master Long can even find gold mines, and I heard that there is a British princess among that group of people. As long as he keeps a low profile, builds a village, and digs for gold... it should be fine. ?And there are many local natives in Alaska. What’s wrong with us mining and building villages here? If the railway is built here in the future, we might also be able to become American citizens...

Hey, if Mr. Long knew that this group of people were still thinking about how to 'submit' to the United States, I wonder what he would feel in his heart? But food must be eaten bite by bite, and no one can become fat overnight. As long as these miners currently accept When their own leaders become stronger, how can they still think about the "recruitment" of the United States?

The closed door was not opened until 4 hours later. The representatives who gathered at the door forgot about the hunger in their bellies. When the five preparatory party members came out, they surrounded them and asked Master Long what new policy he had promulgated? What was the impact on themselves? What influence does this group of people have?

The five probationary party members obviously had a low level of education. After hesitating for a long time, they choked out one sentence: "What was discussed at the meeting will be posted on the bulletin board at the entrance of the village tomorrow. If you want me to tell you one by one, I can't." I can’t remember, but one thing is, we have to work hard in the future, otherwise we won’t make as much money as others, but we can’t blame others!”

What? What are you working hard for and how can you make more money? After everyone dispersed, their minds were filled with random thoughts.

On June 11, the bulletin board at the entrance of Guangming Village was covered with notices copied with pens. Chinese workers crowded around, the literate ones read the text, the illiterate ones held their children, held their wives’ hands, and raised their eyebrows.

Listen to the preacher sent by the Dragon Scale Party.

There is a lot of content in the notice, and there are a few that are closely related to the Chinese miners.

First, Guangming Village has begun to implement a household registration system, and anyone can sign up. Anyone who has a household registration in Guangming Village can work for the Longlin Party (including mining, construction, hunting, etc.), and their wages will increase by 50%.

Second, Longyi Gold Mine implements a fixed-personnel mining system. Excluding security personnel, the number of miners in the mine is only 100, and the salary has increased from 20 US dollars per month to 40 US dollars (if you have a household registration, or are a probationary member of the Longlin Party

status, you can also enjoy the corresponding preferential policies), and every month, 50 people who perform poorly will be removed from the gold mine and sent back to Guangming Village.

Third, the Dragon Scale Army Guards began to recruit reserve members, with a military salary of 50 US dollars per person per month, and a monthly subsidy of 1 US dollars per person based on relatives. This time, 50 people were recruited, mainly young and strong men.

Fourth, the first fleet of the Dragon Scale Army recruits reserve crew members. The military salary is 55 US dollars per person per month. The family allowance is the same as that of the escort team. The quota is 40 people. Those who can swim, read Chinese characters, and understand English will be given priority.

Fifth, the Dragon Scale Army has established a health team, led by Wang Botao. It is currently recruiting 10 women at a cost of US$40 per person per month. Those with kind hearts and ingenuity will be given priority.

As soon as these five notices came out, the Chinese workers who were watching were in an uproar and discussed with the people next to them... The words "dollars" on the notices made them itchy and worried.

The first one is no problem. Isn’t it just a matter of adding a household registration? Anyway, most of us are poor people living in a foreign land. The Qing Dynasty could not stay here, and the United States discriminated against us. Now having a household registration is equivalent to having a home for wanderers. How can we not

Are you moved to join? What’s more, no one is willing to give up the 50% salary bonus!

For the same work, such as mining, those without household registration can only get 20 US dollars per month (now 40 US dollars), while those with household registration can get 30 US dollars per month (from now on it will be 60 US dollars). Why?

The second one is not much of a problem. I heard that the mining conditions of the 'Longyi Gold Mine' are very good. You can dig out gold stones with your hands. 100 miners are more than enough! If there are more, they will work there! 40 per month

U.S. dollars, if they don’t perform well, we should be replaced! Survival of the fittest, these Chinese workers living in the American continent have become very accustomed to it after so many years of training, and they don’t think it’s inappropriate.

But... what would we do if we weren't miners? Should we drink from the northwest wind? Or go to the deep mountains and forests for dangerous hunting?

The confused Chinese workers immediately turned their attention to items three, four, and five!

The Dragon Scale Army is recruiting troops! Each person has a minimum military salary of 40 US dollars per month, which is the same as mining, and he can also hold a gun and sail a boat. How majestic! The most important thing is that the leader of the Dragon Scale Party

The officials (Hua Gong still calls Lei Long and others senior officials in his heart) are all in the Dragon Scale Army. If they are close to each other, it will be easier for them to join the party in the future!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the third and fourth items, and their blood was shining brightly. Some impatient young people had already gathered around the announcer to ask how to register, how to assess, how to admit.

But the fifth article...Who is Wang Botao? What does he want to find 10 women? What is the health team? If I don't understand, can I safely hand over my yellow flower daughter to him? Forty dollars a month

Ah...hey, that won’t work either!

Although the naked dollars are very tempting, everyone still has doubts about Article 5. However, when the preacher introduced: "Wang Botao is the king of doctors, the health team is to treat people's illnesses and provide services..." After that, there was a part

People immediately ran home and asked their precious girls to sign up!

Those who did not have daughters were beating their chests, but the smart ones immediately pushed their wives forward and said proudly: "My mother-in-law is skillful in her skills, sometimes gentle, sometimes wild, and she serves me very comfortably every night.

It would be a big loss if she doesn’t join the health team!”

In addition to these five items stating that they are closely related to many Chinese miners, the notice also contains a series of appointments within the Dragon Scale Party. For example, the escort team was changed to a military organization, and its name is still called the escort team for the time being.

(After recruiting 50 people, it will be changed to a guard division). However, the captain Zhou Bodang is no longer called "captain", but is changed to division commander, with the title of colonel. Vice-captain Xie Zhi is called deputy division commander, with the title of colonel...



Obviously, Long Hao copied the set of positions in the army. In the future world, despite experiencing the Third World War, military ranks and positions around the world after the war will still use the usual names before the war!

Military ranks: general, colonel, lieutenant, non-commissioned officer, soldier!

Position: The eldest is called commander, followed by corps commander, division commander, brigade commander... mines, military flags (well, according to the Four Kingdoms War!)

The above talk about the 'Four Kingdoms War' is of course a joke. It is impossible for 'landmines' and 'military flags' to appear in real military positions. Long Hao just made a fool of himself and sent someone to assign Zhou Bo's military rank and position.

I recorded it and will tell him next time I go to Dreamport.
Chapter completed!
