9. Unbearably sloppy

New Year 1906.

Han Huaiyi stood in the westernmost cliff hut of San Francisco and watched as the Japanese Suikimaru bypassed the bulge in the north and slowly entered the harbor.

The port was a meeting point for Italian fishermen, and later became known as the Fisherman's Wharf.

Of course, this is not a scenic spot this year.

Even the famous Golden Gate Bridge doesn't even exist.

The cliff hut was built in 1858, but the Golden Gate Bridge was completed and opened in 1937.

Looking north to California, the future is still a smooth road.

Han Huaiyi then turned his head to the west.

From this vantage point, he could see a large construction site on the flat waterfront to the north of the cliff, where HNA bases for the Pacific Fleet were located, where a cement aircraft carrier was rising and would be completed by the end of January.

At that time, the PTR will be able to join forces with the HNA forces to test and train HNA crews there.

It will also be a testing ground for civilian seaplanes.

That's right, the PTR is ready to develop seaplanes, a relatively safe type of aircraft, for civilian use.

Soon after, the Japanese arrived at their hotel.

As a liaison officer, Mitsui immediately consulted Brian of IMM, who was in charge of the reception, about the location of the negotiation and related matters.

When he was learning about the situation, Han Huaiyi and Feng Caihou inspected the breeding farm under the jurisdiction of M's individual food production base.

The farms are all on the outskirts of San Francisco, in the formerly deserted areas to the north.

After receiving the order and funds, Feng Caihou directly purchased 500 acres of land through Johansen's connections and divided it into squares.

In addition, he also moved a large number of Chinese people to the periphery of the farm area to build a workers' house such as the Shanghai New Area model.

Since it is a farming business, both women and children can help.

Therefore, most of the Chinese who do not have a long-term job have come here with their families.

In addition, it is the New Year, so the density of people here is denser than the city's Chinatown.

Seeing this situation, Han Huaiyi smiled and said: "If you develop well, maybe this place will be called San Francisco Chinatown in the future." ”

"It's all thanks to the second brother."

"Okay, by the way, Brother Cai, remember to pay attention to hygiene, this hygiene not only includes animals but also people themselves. This must not be overlooked. Han Huaiyi suddenly remembered something.

To be honest, the lifestyle of Chinese people in this year is indeed a bit sloppy.

Some people still wear braids when they go abroad, and those women who live in Chinatown can dump household garbage and yellow and white things that they drown directly on the street.

Han Huaiyi was talking.

An old lady rushed into the street with a commode and made a noise, so she almost didn't splash on the car.

Then she was still very calm, very blind and turned away.

Feng Cai's cheeky face darkened, and he stretched out his head and scolded: "Who are you!" ”

The woman was actually panicked, and when she heard him yell, she threw away the toilet and ran away, and then in the blink of an eye, a group of "brothers" with kitchen knives in their hands and benches rushed out of the house on the side of the road.

Feng Cai cheekily pulled the car door and pointed at the guy who took the lead and scolded: "Zhao Sanyan, what are you going to do!" ”

Then he was quite good at changing his face, and turned around and explained to Han Huaiyi very embarrassedly: "Brother Help." ”

Han Huaiyi smiled dumbly: "So ignorant, then I'm going to make him special?" ”

Feng Caihou was suddenly embarrassed, and Han Huaiyi opened the car door.

"Second master?" Zhao San already knew that it was not good when he stared at Feng Caihou, and then saw that Han Huaiyi got out of the car and quickly lost the guy, which was quite a traditional fist to say hello.

Now, more people have come out, and they are embarrassed to invite Han Huaiyi and Feng Caihou to have dinner together.

Han Huaiyi suddenly changed his face: "Eat a fart!" ”

He glared at Feng Caihou: "I'll check in ten days, if something like today happens again, everyone will break up!" ”

Feng Caihou was full of experience, and knew that he was singing by himself, so he hurriedly promised: "Second brother, don't worry, I will take care of them." ”

Han Huaiyi got up: "Just ten days, otherwise I will deal with you like those white people who drove you back then." ”

He smiled, Feng Caihou knew that it was broken, and immediately turned around and pointed at Zhao Sanyan and scolded: "Whose mother-in-law just now, she didn't use the public toilet, and dumped those things on the road again!" ”

"Let's go, you can stay." Han Huaiyi got into the car directly and left.

This time he really wasn't making a show.

Health and safety are a top priority.

This is not only a lesson from later generations, but also a lesson from the past.

In 1900, there was a small outbreak of the bubonic plague in San Francisco, although the origin was not because of the Chinese, but the doctors of the San Francisco Health Department simply blamed the Chinese for these things after witnessing the Chinese way of life.

Commercial capital also seized the opportunity to make waves, wanting to evict the Chinese and redevelop Chinatown real estate in the heart of San Francisco.

After combining several aspects, He You, the consul general of the Qing court in San Francisco, and the Chinese Federation tried their best to Zhou Xuan, but they still could not avoid being bullied by foreigners.

Eventually, the Chinese were expelled from their original Chinatown and into shanty towns, and their homes were destroyed by fire.

Is this discrimination and exclusion? Yes, definitely.

Joseph, a well-known local medical officer. King, along with his boss, Walter of the Washington Department of Public Health, teamed up to create a lie about the spread of disease among Chinese.

In fact, at that time, the same cases of plague occurred in the Japanese expatriate area of San Francisco and the Latin Quarter, where Italians gathered.

Only the Chinese were quarantined and expelled.

In the final analysis, the Chinese do not have a strong national support behind them.

The matter did not come to an end until 1904, when the righteous men of the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Walter and Joseph's actions were a serious violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that their actions were racially discriminatory.

And then the eggs.

The discrimination against the Chinese in white society continued, and all this was not completely ended until the Victor family and the Chinese Federation formed an alliance.

Because the Chinese now have more backers behind them, Han Huaiyi.

But in this discrimination, are the Chinese themselves not a problem? Some.

Han Huaiyi witnessed with his own eyes today that an old lady was emptying the toilet on the street.

If he turns another corner, he can still see a pile of medicine residue at the intersection of the road, which is the leftover medicine residue eaten by the patient, and is placed at the intersection in the hope that passers-by will take away all the diseases of their families.

What kind of thinking are these?

Therefore, Han Huaiyi can't sit back and watch the farm still have this sloppy and unruly lifestyle, he would rather the progress of the M food factory be slower, he can't help but solve these hidden dangers that will bring big trouble sooner or later from the root.

On the way back, Han Huaiyi and Jiang Wenwu, who had accompanied him, said: "Hurry up and talk to Johansen and ask him to send doctors and municipal public health officials to strictly supervise this place." ”

"I'm afraid that white people will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble." Jiang Wenwu said.
