"This is the document we just signed, and this is the amount of shares we hold.

Are you sure you want to spend so much money to invest in a newspaper?" Su Yanqing sat in a coffee shop and took out a pile of documents.

There are actually quite a lot of illiterates in the United States, mainly because of slavery, which lowered the cultural level.

It wasn't until the industrialists took over the United States that education for all the people improved dramatically, and newspapers ushered in a new spring.

Zhu Wencong put down the documents in his hands. The newspaper, a powerful tool of public opinion, must be held tightly.

The identity of yellow people is already very embarrassing, and if they want to snatch the industry from white people, they simply don’t want to live.

"Although the profits of newspapers are negligible, their influence is far greater than that of any other industry.

If I don't control public opinion, my status as a yellow person will be exposed, just like a rat crossing the street.

You have never experienced being discriminated against or insulted, and I will not let you have any contact with these.

Our status is even lower than that of the Kunlun slaves, you should know the meaning of what I said." Zhu Wencong said directly.

Su Yanting was silent. She had never seen the suffering of the people. She had been in the greenhouse garden.

Zhu Wencong pointed to the children selling newspapers and cigarettes outside the window. Contemporary child laborers are everywhere.

Some of them are as old as Zhu Wencong and Su Yanqing, and some are only seven or eight years old, but they have started working.

Poor families generally have many children. The poorer they are, the more children they have, and the more children they have, the poorer they are. The same is true in the United States.

The poor in the city do not have their own land, so their children either develop "side jobs" or work as free or self-paid apprentices.

Fortunately, this is an industrial era, and as long as you are an individual, you can contribute your blood and sweat to the factory.

"Whether it's the East or the West, poor people are actually the same." Su Yanqing sighed.

"No! The poor have no way out in the West, but they have unlimited possibilities in the East.

Western countries have industry, and what they lack most is people; the East has agriculture, and what they lack most is people.

Industry will create countless jobs, and agriculture will have too many idle people in society due to land constraints.

When the war ends, they will be driven into factories and their final fate will be like that of child laborers in England." Zhu Wenchong explained.

Su Yanting drank coffee and asked: "England? Isn't that the most advanced country in the world? They were the first to abolish slavery.

Why is such a civilized country a graveyard for child laborers? Aren’t they all gentlemen?"

Zhu Wencong shook his head. England is actually quite good at packaging and pays great attention to its international image, especially its image.

Gentle scum is the best way to describe it. England has done nothing when it comes to personnel matters.

"Their industry is number one in the world! Back then, he was just a little boy selling wool. Later, their sheep began to eat people.

Wool products are after all a product of the old times, replaced by cotton products, and the United States is England's largest cotton supplier.

What is the population of England? But their industry cannot be given up, so anyone can work in the factory.

With the rise of American industry, the child labor problem in England was solved, but the child labor problem in the United States reappeared.

Unlike the East, they have a huge population. What they can do is squeeze everyone as much as possible, regardless of men, women, old or young.

In order to prevent this phenomenon from happening in our group, I must capture cotton fields across the state and the entire federation." Zhu Wencong said firmly.

To put it bluntly, industry is a machine that eats people. It’s not just factories that eat people, it’s also the railways that eat people.

Any country that enters industry will have to pay a price in blood. This is an unavoidable condition.

Zhu Wencong does not want history to happen again, and America should be built by their own people with their own blood and sweat.

Therefore, farming is better than working. Zhu Wencong worked hard to turn all Chinese workers into Chinese farmers, so that they could all grow cotton and grain.

"But farming is very hard work. There is too much wasteland in the United States, and they will not take the initiative to cultivate it.

They are lazy at heart and never believe in getting rich through hard work." Su Yanqing complained.

"Have you forgotten that the United States has industry? For the Manchus, it was purely human power, while the United States was a mechanical force.

With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the planting industry will move towards the path of scientific and technological development, no longer facing the loess and facing the sky.

In the future, the happiest jobs in America will not be factory owners, bankers, etc., but real farmers.

You can not only enjoy the convenience brought by technology, but also enjoy federal financial subsidies, and there will never be a lack of consumer market." Zhu Wenchong knows very well how nourishing the life of farmers in the United States is.

Su Yanting couldn't help but think of Tao Yuanming's "Returning to the Garden and Living in the Fields". This was the little life in her dream!

The most traditional idea in the East is that men farm and women weave, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

"In short, the difference between farming in America and farming in Manchuria is a paradise and a hell.

Although we admire the glory of labor, the people we look down upon the most are workers, who are the most worthless people.

Instead of working hard as a sharecropper in the Qing Dynasty, why not come to America to farm, and I will definitely be able to protect everyone!

So I have to seize the time. If I miss this opportunity, I will not have another great opportunity!" Zhu Wencong said in his inner monologue.

The American market has always been exclusive. Zhu Wencong has not engaged in any industry since he made his fortune, so as not to become someone else's wedding dress.

The Civil War was the only one in which the industrialists destroyed everything of the agriculturalists, and the whole people began to move towards an industrial power.

Then the eliminated agriculture will no longer be so conspicuous, and Zhu Wenchong is ready to take over the legacy of the agricultural faction and find the soil for survival.

As long as you control the cotton and grain of the entire federation, you can create an immortal body for yourself and even influence the direction of the federation.

"I just think you have been too crazy recently. I have budgeted for the funds we will need in the future, and this is not the amount we can achieve.

I know you are here for thousands of Chinese workers, but have you ever thought that you are still in the early development stage and do not have enough funds or matching talents?

You have to stay dormant for at least three to five years. By that time, I believe you have earned millions of pounds and there is no shortage of funds at all.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce will also bring the children of the family here, so you will no longer be alone and will completely take root in the United States." Su Yanqing thought she needed to remind her again.

Zhu Wencong had a wry smile on his face. He wanted to develop steadily for a few years, but this era is no longer waiting for me.

"Standing at the forefront of the times, even pigs can fly! I know my own shortcomings, but I also know my advantages.

You are right to worry, but your ideas of farming civilization do not allow you to have unbridled imagination.

After the war ended, everyone's thoughts became industrial civilization, and everyone had unlimited possibilities!

Don’t understand? Someone once said: If there were no capital market, the world would still have no railways today.

I only need to control the entire capital market, what else can I do that is not easy?
