After a while, a middle-aged woman wearing a cheongsam came out carrying a teapot.
This woman is plump, walks with a twist, has a big face, and is not pretty. She does have a very loud voice.
"You guys, please be patient. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare some food." The woman said loudly.
"Old rules." Zhu Conghai said.
"Understood, instead of cooking fish, I'll make you a pot of braised chicken nuggets and stir-fry some seasonal vegetables," the woman said.
"There is also a pound of Laobaigan." The woman looked at Zhu Conghai and added.
Zhu Conghai laughed and nodded.
After the woman went to the kitchen, Zhu Conghai called the third master over to sit with her.
The third gentleman was not polite and sat directly on the empty seat next to him, and also filled the cups of tea for everyone.
"Oh, you guys don't know that there have been no ships coming to our island for a while. Nowadays, there are only big ships, and there are fewer and fewer supplies coming to Midway Island."
"Then you also build a coal station. That big ship needs coal. If you have coal, people will supply it at your place." Zhu Conghai said.
"Oh, Uncle Zhu, I don't want to worry about that. I just open this tavern to have fun and make friends. There are only three small islands of ours with a radius of a thousand kilometers. Those hundreds of people have long been tired of seeing it.
"
"Then you can do what you want. Third Master really regards money as dirt. Anyway, I've told you the way to make money."
"Thank you very much, Uncle Zhu. I won't do it. I will ask my brother from the clan to build this coal-fired station later."
"By the way, Third Master will go back and help us get some supplies. We have more than a hundred people on board, young and old." Captain Zhu then got down to business.
"Don't worry, I will help you arrange it." The third master agreed quickly.
Only then did Zhao Sixi realize that this third master was the one in charge here.
"Thank you, Third Master." Zhao Si stood up and thanked him. After all, he helped him with this matter.
"You're welcome, Fourth Master Zhao is so young, why? He wants to immigrate to China." The Third Master looked at Zhao Sixi. This young man was very polite.
"Exactly, I'm not doing well at home, so I came out to try my luck." Zhao Sixi said.
"Then Third Master, don't listen to him. This boy is already an auxiliary officer in the county at a young age. He was a refugee a few years ago!" Zhu Conghai interrupted.
"Oh, he is young and promising, a good young man." The third master said with a thumbs up.
"Oh, I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it!" Zhao Sixi shook his head quickly.
"Young people are enterprising and know how to be humble, and their future is limitless. I will give you a toast later." This third master is a social nerd. After a while, the conversation boxes of the whole table were opened up by him.
Although this man lives on the island, he has lived in the capital for half his life and often chats with passing ship owners. He is very knowledgeable.
"Hey, Fourth Master Zhao, don't just listen to other people's bragging. As for this Jiamei, it's not as good as outsiders say."
"Only the land in San Francisco and Los Angeles in the south is okay and suitable for farming. There are mountains all the way in, and more than 90% of the land we occupy in Canada is covered with mountains."
"In the past two years, we can still be allocated farmland, but in a few years we can only be allocated mountains. There are mines and trees on the mountains, but how much manpower does it take to turn those things into money?"
"I have heard that after some people went there, the land allocated was not good, so they had to go to the city to work in factories. It would be better if there was a mine on their land and a factory was willing to contract it. At least it could generate profits.
Some of them don’t even make a profit.”
…
The third master was talking eloquently, and Zhao Sixi listened attentively.
He did think things were a bit simple originally.
But now that we have reached this point, Zhao Sixi and the others have no way of turning back.
At noon, they had a meal in this tavern. It was not very rich, but the food was very delicious. They had never thought that green vegetables were so delicious.
Captain Zhu was immediately drunk and fell to the ground.
In the end, Zhao Sixi could only settle the account under the repeated suggestions of the third master.
After staying here for one night, the ship will sail again the next day. They will stop at Trembling Fragrance Mountain and then sail directly to their destination.
…
"Ms. sir, why don't you look at it!"
On the pier of Zhuanxiang Mountain, a group of dark-skinned women from the Hawaiian Kingdom, wearing grass skirts around their waists, were welcoming friends from afar in their unique way.
A few sailors holding wine bottles watched with interest and burst into cheers from time to time.
When Mrs. Jiang saw her husband looking away, she pinched the soft flesh on her husband's waist and angrily lectured him.
The wharf at Sanxiang Mountain is very prosperous. Hawaiians are not good at doing business.
Most of the shops on the pier are run by Chinese, Fuso people and Koreans.
There are many types of shops, and there are service industries that specialize in servicing ships.
There are also grocery stores selling various supplies. Some people even sell specialty products from various countries here.
As an important port hub on the Pacific Ocean.
The development of Zhunxiang Mountain in recent years can be described as leaps and bounds.
Such a rapidly developing city is no longer capable of being managed by these locals.
King Kamehameha IV was a young and enlightened king.
He even went to Xinjing to meet him last year.
Now Hawaii regards itself as a vassal state of China, which makes the Great Empire very unhappy.
It's not that he was very pro-China. In fact, Kamehameha IV was a Christian, and the Kamehameha dynasty was deeply influenced by the Great Empire.
But now the influence of the Great Empire on Hawaii has been greatly weakened.
A large number of Chinese, Fuso and Koreans poured into Hawaii, which greatly promoted the development here.
It also unknowingly changed the power structure of this country.
In Hawaii now, the number of yellow people has exceeded that of the natives.
They purchased large amounts of land for development in Hawaii.
They also invested in ports and carried out various commercial activities.
The economic lifeline of the Kingdom of Hawaii is now controlled by these yellow people.
As a small country, the Kingdom of Hawaii can only watch these yellow people take root and develop here.
The white businessmen who originally came from the United States in Hawaii have long been squeezed out by these yellow people.
As the saying goes, if you can't resist, just close your eyes and enjoy it.
Kamehameha IV has such an attitude now.
He went to see Dong Shuheng to get a promise.
That is, even if the Chinese take control of the country of Hawaii, they must at least retain the continuation of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
In fact, as early as the time of Kamehameha IV, the Kingdom of Hawaii had already formulated two constitutions and began to embark on the path of constitutional monarchy.
This was naturally instigated by white people.
It's okay now, so many yellow people have come in all of a sudden.
As you can see, the Hawaiian Kingdom has the final say in its parliament.
Then we have paid taxes to your Kingdom of Hawaii, don’t you want to give us the right to vote?
At the beginning, the Kingdom of Hawaii really didn't dare to give it. The number of yellow people was increasing too fast.
If this hole is opened, what will happen if people don't tolerate me as a king?
But dragging it on won't work, those yellow people are getting together, and they won't pay taxes if they don't give them the right to vote.
Behind these people stands China. The Hawaiian Kingdom does not dare to offend them.
At this time, a Chinese named Sun Wu came up with an idea for King Kamehameha IV.
That is to ask him to find Dong Shuheng for canonization. Then recognize China as the suzerain state, so that no one dares to drive him down.
In this way, Kamehameha IV found Xinjing.
Dong Shuheng also gave him a positive answer.
As long as he proclaims himself a vassal, the Renaissance Army will ensure that his family's national status will last forever.
Immediately afterwards, the parliament of the Kingdom of Hawaii began to open to the yellow race.
After the election, Sun Tzu, a Chinese from Zhejiang, became the Prime Minister of Hawaii.
The Chinese began to take over administrative power in Hawaii.
The Great Empire even sent warships to threaten them.
They even had a confrontation with the Beihai Navy of the Renaissance Army off the coast of Trembling Fragrance Mountain for a period of time.
In the end, nothing happened. Today, Trembling Fragrance Mountain can be said to be dominated by the yellow race.
However, local people have also enjoyed the dividends of development.
Many locals can find jobs in Chinese shops and factories even if they don't know how to farm.
They were also treated equally.
The Hawaiian royal family is able to live a very good life with the large amount of industry in their hands.
In the first half of this year, Sun Wu even led a delegation to China to negotiate to join the free trade system of the Greater China Circle.
As long as the exchanges between mainland China and the Americas continue like this, Hawaii, located at the crossroads of the sea, will remain prosperous.
…
"Oh, madam, why are you pinching me?" Zhao Sixi asked doubtfully.
"Those women are dressed so revealingly, and you still look at them?"
"Ah, madam, is that a woman? I thought it was a man. Oops, the skin is too dark, I can't tell the difference between male and female." Zhao Sixi shook his head and sighed.
"Only those who are as fair and tender as my wife are called women."
"Just pretend!"
Zhao Sixi's performance seemed to have worked, and Jiang no longer had any entanglement with him.
Captain Zhu met several friends here who used to run boats together, and he had long since disappeared into a restaurant to drink wine.
This LSP was staring at the butt of the third master’s wife when we were at Midway Island that day.
Zhao Sixi took Jiang around the trading area of the port. Occasionally, he bought some weird gadgets. It was quite fun.
Their children were still young and were left on the boat to be taken care of by their grandparents.
Mrs. Jiang brought out a boy and a sister to help carry things.
The first sister has now become Jiang's little maid and is with her almost every day.
"Sister, come here." Jiang saw a native Hawaiian selling a beautiful handicraft at a roadside stall.
I called a girl to come over and take a look.
And a man has been following Zhao Sixi, holding a lot of things in his arms.
The young man was so tired that he was sweating profusely, but he didn't say a word "tired".
Zhao Sixi didn't just go shopping.
He wanted to see the merchandise here.
Because a lot of goods are shipped from Canada.
From this, he was able to understand the basic situation of Yijiahua.
They stayed in Honolulu for three days before setting off.
This time it was not Zhao Sixi who was dragging him away, but the captain Zhu Conghai and the crew who wanted to play on the shore.
Zhu Conghai originally wanted to take Zhao Sixi with him, but was stopped by Jiang.
She had already seen where Zhu Conghai and the others were going.
There is a street facing the port here, all of which are places like that.
Mrs. Jiang was not a young girl waiting to be married, so she naturally knew what was going on there. How could she let her husband go there?
After leaving Hawaii for another half month, the ship finally docked in San Francisco.
The tight string in Zhao Sixi's heart relaxed a little.
Zhao Sixi is an official who signed up on his own initiative, which is different from ordinary immigrants.
There are dedicated people to receive him and help him go through the customs procedures.
He and his tribesmen were all placed in the same resettlement site.
At this point, he and the captain Zhu Conghai were completely separated.
Zhu Conghai will stay in San Francisco for a few days and pick up a job for the return trip.
Now that Dong Shuheng has begun to launch troops in Canada, the demand for transportation capacity is very large.
It was easy to carry the work on the way back. It was just not as easy as it was on the way back.
When I go back, I can basically only load the goods, but not the people.
The main items shipped back from Jiahua are sugar, cotton and various metal products.
Zhao Sixi settled his family in the resettlement site.
He was called over by Li Kaicheng.
At this level, Zhao Sixi can obtain the position of mayor in Jiahua.
It's just that there aren't that many cities in Canada right now.
In a tall and solid office building in San Francisco, Zhao Sixi met Li Kaicheng, the actual helmsman here.
"Mr. Zhao, let me tell you this, if you want to stay here in San Francisco, I will arrange for you a position in the state government that matches your level."
"But if you want to go out and stand alone, you can only take your tribe with you now, and then I will assign you a group of immigrants to build a new city." Li Kaicheng said straight to the point.
"In addition, if you go out to build a city, the land you will be allocated will be better. If it is near California, there is no suitable farmland anymore. Especially if you have a relatively large land area, it will be difficult to allocate good land.
Land. So you have to go to remote places to build cities. We still have a lot of land in the north and east that we have not yet operated."
"I choose to go out and build the city." Zhao Sixi made the decision without hesitation.
The local governors here in Canada are different from those in China. The local governors here have very great power.
Every city in Canada has its own city council, and the mayor is subject to the supervision of the city council.
But except for judges, all other officials in this city are basically appointed by the mayor.
With so many people in his family now, if they all live in the same city in the future, then he will definitely be able to secure the position of mayor.
And his family will prosper locally.
In this way, Zhao Sixi led more than a thousand people and more than a hundred large vehicles through the desolate Colorado Grand Canyon and arrived at Xinzhengzhou.
This is the source area of the Kansas River.
Several small rivers pass through here.
To the west are the mountains, and at their feet is the transition zone between mountains and plains.
According to the map Li Kaicheng gave him, the land managed by Zhao Sixi is the size of a mansion in the south of the country.
The land of more than a thousand people brought by Zhao Sixi will be distributed by him.
Li Kaicheng gave him several retired veterans as militia instructors and concurrently as peace officers.
At the same time, these veterans are also residents of this new city.
It is equivalent to building a city on a blank piece of paper.
Of course, in the beginning, it could only be regarded as a small town.
