"Don't beat, don't beat...Oh, I'm against you, fuck, I can't beat you to death!"

"Help, Chen Tebu is killing people, neighbors come and see... Oh, you thief really sucks, mom, you can't live this life anymore. I, I'll take the child back to my parents' home!"

...

For such a sad story, the neighbors next to them are used to it. Whenever Zhongshanhun's clothes rise once, a "domestic violence" will occur at the home of these tailors who have the opportunity to go there.

Of course, to be rational, the story of Zhongshan Soul is just one of the changes that Long Hao brought to Chinatown. Other changes include the pharmaceutical apprentice recruited by Meihao Chemical Factory, the shipbuilding temporary workers recruited by Kunpeng Shipyard, and

Coolie on various docks in San Francisco...

These coolies used to gather together spontaneously and pay some money to the Hongmen to ensure that they find an organization and are not bullied. However, since Young Master Long came, these coolies did not have to pay the membership to the Hongmen, not only did they not need to pay the membership to the Hongmen.

Pay the money, and each person can get a dollar subsidy from Huaxia Town if he works for four hours a day!

Which coolie doesn't work for more than ten hours a day? This dollar is like picking up for free. In addition, the affordable coolie praised Huaxia Town for its kind behavior. On the surface, they were still affected by the flood.

The door's 'constraint', but the 'rope' of this constraint has become increasingly lighter and almost transparent!

Not only are some people in Huaxia Town who have issued subsidies, but some people have set up "medical insurance companies". As long as they receive subsidies, according to the principle of voluntary voluntary, they only need to spend 3 US dollars a month to participate in a medical treatment.

Insurance' project, project regulations: If you have any illness during the insurance payment period, or encounter any accidents, you can go to the hospital opened by Meihao Chemical Factory for free treatment.

Insurance has been a form of fundraising since ancient times.

As early as more than 5,000 years ago, the caravans crossing the Egyptian desert went bankrupt in order to prevent the merchants who were storms from losing their goods, so that they could unite and pass a mutual assistance method that shared risks.

This method stipulates that if a merchant’s goods and camels suffer losses due to unexpected losses, the undamaged merchant will take out part of the profit to compensate and relieve the victims. If everyone is safe, then a part of it will be extracted from each person’s profit and retained.

Make the funds to make up for the losses next time.

This agreement is the prototype of insurance.

The origin of modern insurance business can be traced back to the 'widow annuity system' and 'wound insurance association' established in 1688 in the UK. It has made the mutually aided contract enterprise, and also made the form of commercial insurance a great deal.

Development, from life insurance, maritime insurance, property insurance, to fire insurance, medical insurance, health insurance and other aspects...

Although insurance business was already quite common in the European continent in the 19th century, this is still a new and unknown thing for Chinese living in San Francisco.

When looking at unknown things, your eyes are always filled with doubts.

What? Pay $3 a month? If you are not sick, you still have to refund? No refund? Isn't this robbery? What is the difference between this and the money collected by the Hongmen in the past? What? Tell me if it is

I'm sick this month, don't you have to spend money on medical treatment? Go, go, your mother's mouth is a crow, I'm so healthy, I'm carrying a 20-kilogram sack on my back and walking steadily. If I get sick, my family of seven will be

You have to drink the northwest wind! Keep some verbal virtues! If you don’t pay it, I won’t pay it. You said this is voluntary. If I don’t pay this insurance premium, I can also get the dollar every day?

Chinese people in this era always avoid disasters. Therefore, although they don’t think that $3 a month is less than 1 cent per day, most people still choose not to pay, as if they have bought this medical treatment.

Insurance is like booking for you to get sick in the future.

In this way, until the bombardment crisis occurred, the person who purchased medical insurance was still single digits. Finally, a single coolie who had lung disease and bought insurance received free treatment, which made the wait-and-see people hesitate to buy some more.

But in tens of thousands of Chinatowns, it is still too pitiful to have an average order of 20% - well, the number of people who have booked medical insurance business.

Speaking of which, the average order of 20+ can also rise slowly, which is always a good sign, but at this time Benson's fleet came, and immediately suppressed the medical insurance business that had finally improved a little. The person in charge of insurance in Huaxia Town sighed:

I don’t know if the Chinese in San Francisco still remember this medical insurance that can bring them some protection after this crisis.

Based on the above, Chinatown has received a lot of favors from Long Hao, and everyone is very grateful. Since the past few days, Hong Zai Gen's confidant sent to oppose Long Hao, and after returning home, he has received a lot of help from his family.

Accuse: "Young Master Long is so kind to us. Your brother receives one dollar every day at the dock. Your sister is an apprentice in that factory. No one bullies her. She includes food and accommodation. She receives 35 yuan a month and can still learn.

Isn’t it all the skills of taking care of a patient? Isn’t it all the blessing of Master Long? You should go to march with others and demonstrate, trying to force Master Long to the foreigner’s gunboat! Don’t think I’m old, but mine

You are not blind and not confused. If you still recognize me as a mother, you will stay at home tomorrow and you are not allowed to go anywhere!”

However, no matter how much he complains, although Long Hao does, he is still a little far from the birth of Buddhas in the Wanjia family, so some people follow their mother's instructions and never go out to make trouble again. However, some people are determined to follow Hong Zaigen.

After a big fuss, he made a fortune and was still in a dark heart, and continued to participate in the action of overthrowing the city government and forcing Young Master Long to leave.

When Longhao's situation was critical, the Chinese who had gained many benefits from Huaxia Town wanted to support Longhao, but found that several leaders of the Hongmen did not say a word. Therefore, everyone stopped thinking about it and were all stunned.

At home, I just pray in my heart that Young Master Long can overcome the difficulties, and few people really took to the streets to argue for Long Hao.

Hey, this is the psychological status of overseas Chinese in this era. They are waiting for people to come to salvation, but when there is a real opportunity, they are afraid of the past and dare not reach out to grasp the rope of fate.

Alas, I am angry that I am not fighting, and I am sad that I am misfortune. Long Hao has to take a long way to revitalize China...

When the tragedy caused by the parade and conflict on June 1 was returned, the dead people cried and cried in the sky, and the non-dead people, in addition to luck, closed the door more and more and locked the door. They made up their minds to put it in.

The battle-free card is hanging high: The conflict between Master Long and the American ** division is like a fight between the great gods, so we won’t get involved!

No matter what it abolishes the Chinese Exclusion Act, it can pass it now. It is good to abolish the bill, but even if it is not abolished, our family can live it by doing it! It is better than dying inexplicably!

It is precisely with this mentality that before the sun rises on June 2, the Chinatown of San Francisco was calm and peaceful. Everyone rarely did not get up early, and the streets were deserted... Workers who work were not required to go out because the factory stopped working and set up stalls.

Because I was afraid of being affected by the parade, I simply took a day off to beat my wife and children at home.

At first glance, Chinatown seemed to have been stripped of San Francisco, thinking that he could stay away from the struggle with his head. In fact, this idea... is so funny.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, at the entrance of a spacious courtyard located in the northeast corner of Chinatown, a loud roar came from the sound of a cannon. The loud sound instantly broke the rare quiet morning.

There is a sign hanging at the entrance of this courtyard, which reads several traditional Chinese characters "The Qing Dynasty Consulate in San Francisco, California, USA". The text is written in a flying and phoenix style, and it has a unique style. It was written by Ouyang Ming, the Consul General of the Consulate.

At this time, Ouyang Ming was playing a health fist in the yard. The sudden loud noise scared him and thought it was a shell hitting the door.

"Zhaoting. Come out quickly, Brother Suiwei goes out to see what's going on?"

Ouyang Geng just came back a few days ago. He happened to be sleeping in the second floor before the bombardment crisis. After being awakened by a loud noise, he heard his brother's call and jumped and rolled up the stairs like a monkey.

Go down.

"What's wrong? Is it a shelling? But no, we are far away from the commercial terminal!"

Ouyang Geng stood firmly, stroked the shiny braids behind his head, stretched his head to look at the sky, and looked shocked: It's not! Even if the gunboats bombarded the city, it should be bombing the city government. How could it hit Chinatown?

?

Long Hao spent most of the money to buy this yard for the consulate, but now Long Hao is in trouble, the Ouyang brothers hide inside and autistic, and ignore it. If Long Hao knew, he wouldn't know

Don't feel heartbroken.

Ouyang Ming patted his long jacket and said calmly: "It shouldn't be a shelling, it sounds like a roar of machinery. Zhaoting, take your self-defense gun, call some people, and follow us!

The world is just a word of chaos. Yesterday, San Francisco was a bloody river. As Chinese at the forefront, it is hard to guarantee that some people who are not very good at it will come over to disturb trouble! Well, I'll go out and see it first. If the situation is not good, don't come out.

Then, walk through the back door, greet neighbors and neighbors, pay attention to protecting their own property..."

As Ouyang Ming said, he had already taken steps towards the outsider. When it came to courage and backbone, this Huiting Gong is still worthy of praise.

Before he could reach the gate of the courtyard, two guards stumbled and ran over. When he saw Ouyang Ming from a distance, he opened his throat and shouted: "Consul, sir, no, it's amazing,

Yes, but it's really amazing..."

The two servants were so angry that Ouyang Ming went up to him. After listening for a long time, he couldn't understand why it was so amazing.

As I got closer, Ouyang Ming saw the news that the two servants had no fear on their faces, but only surprise. A hungry heart finally let go of a little, and shouted in a deep voice: "What's so great, take a break, give me

I'll say it slowly!”

“Yes, yes!”

The two servants took a long breath and said in unison: "Consul, a big cart came outside. There was a big big brick on the cart!"

In order to show off, the servant's hands were swung round.

"Bricks? Big Cart?"

Ouyang Ming kept walking, but the suspicion between his eyebrows became even deeper.

"Yes, I've never seen such a big gold brick in my life!"

"Yes, the length, width and height are probably one meter. My God, the wheels of that big cart are being pressed flat!"

Accompanied by two gatekeepers, Ouyang Ming finally walked to the gate. When he saw it, he couldn't help but breathe a breath of air conditioning.

Good, what a big car, there are six rubber wheels underneath, and there are people sitting in the "little pigeon cage" in front!

A large cart is eight meters long, three meters high, and its huge torso almost blocked the alley!

There was a trace of white vapor on the front of the car, and thick black smoke came out at the rear of the car. Coupled with the deafening rumbling sound, it was a steel monster!

Now, the neighbors and neighbors next to them were alarmed, and the adults and children poked their heads with their jobs, looking at this unprecedented cart curiously!

This big truck looks like a truck in later generations. It was built by Long Hao and Daimler and others before heading to Xiajia.

The front of the car was modified by removing the engine from an experimental car. The "little pigeon cage" is the cab, and the large carriage behind it was built by Carnegie's steel factory in one day.

Compared with the trucks in later generations, this guy is of course a big, stupid and black type. However, in order to transport this big gold brick, which is said to weigh 20 tons, it is really difficult not to use this thing!

There were more than a dozen live-fire expeditionary soldiers standing in the truck's carriage, mostly white. Ouyang Ming was the most familiar with their military uniforms, so after he was shocked, he opened his mouth and asked, "Is it an expeditionary army? Why do you drive here?

Come? Could it be that you took the wrong path, right?"

In the deep dark carriage, a golden brick was tied up. Facing the gate of the consulate, the shining golden light hit the door plaque, it was dazzling. No wonder the two gatekeepers met.

So surprised!

Fortunately, the butt of the big truck is facing the consulate. The big gold bricks inside are beyond Ouyang Ming's angle, otherwise, those neighbors who are watching the fun will be even more furious and will definitely come over to see them.

Look at the big gold bricks that I have never seen in my life!

Gold bricks, money!
