In fact, Li Mu thought about promoting talents from the Chinese to manage the city, but if he thought about it carefully, this path would not work. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Chinese people come to the Americas, almost all of them are sold as "piglets", and after coming to the Americas, they are engaged in heavy manual labor and have no opportunity to receive education, so it is unlikely that Li Mu will find a suitable talent management city.

This is different from the training of peasants into workers, the strata are too large, and the gap has reached an insurmountable level.

If Li Mu insisted on cultivating talents in Springfield, then in a few decades or even a dozen years, there may be Chinese people who can take on the responsibility of managing the city, but it is definitely not now, Li Mu can train a worker engaged in manual labor into a skilled worker in three months, but he will definitely not be able to train a farmer into a politician in three months.

After thinking clearly about the twists and turns, Li Mu no longer hesitated, anyway, there are frustrated politicians in the southern United States, as long as he finds more talents like Nelson, Li Mu is also confident that he will build a new city in the nineteenth century.

After eating, the slaves finally regained their spirits, and they were finally in the mood to look at their surroundings, and they were no longer lifeless.

"Unlucky guys, listen to me, you are all hired by Mr. Ream now, and Mr. Ream has paid you a large sum of cash, so you all belong to Mr. Ream now, and here, if you can obey the management and work well, then you will be fed and clothed, and it may even be possible to get rid of this goddamn slave status, but only if you don't make Mr. Rem angry, otherwise, I can guarantee that your fate will be miserable-" Nelson continued to shout with a tin horn, Repeating over and over again to ask these slaves to obey the rules is actually similar to brainwashing, as long as they are repeated enough times, then these slaves will subconsciously obey the rules.

It does work, when Nelson ordered them to strip naked and take a shower, many people subconsciously began to undress, without the slightest sense of resistance.

The people present are all men, there is nothing to be ashamed of, they have been at the bottom of society for a long time, so that their self-esteem is not much left, from the first day they became slaves, "obedience" has become the most important word in their lives.

The weather in Cuba in April is actually quite hot, and Li Mu does not have the ability to prepare bath water for more than 4,000 people, fortunately, as a bay, the most important thing here is water, although it is not very comfortable to bathe in seawater, but at this stall, the slaves do not have many choices, let's wash it first.

Li Mu didn't let Ricardo go to the tailor, so many people, it really can't be done, let's get alive first, so Li Mu asked Ricardo to go back to the San Diego barracks to get some clothes back, the clothes on these slaves are already tattered, and they must all be burned to ensure hygiene, so when the slaves have bathed, the "Sea Ranger" has shipped thousands of sets of clothes, ready to be used by these slaves.

No, now they are no longer slaves, they are Li Mu's workers.

When Li Mu came to Cuba, he brought a military uniform, and in order to match the Cuban weather, he wore a half-sleeved shirt on his upper body, shorts on his lower body, and tens of thousands of pairs of leather shoes.

Compared with the soldiers, the workers can provide greater value to Li Mu, so Li Mu should treat these workers well, so that the workers will do their best to work for Li Mu.

Everything went well, and even when the barbers arrived to cut the hairs of the workers, the Chinese who still had braids did not resist.

In this place thousands of miles away from home, these Chinese can no longer care about sticking to their traditions, as long as they can live, a braid is nothing.

Compared with taking a shower and changing clothes, the haircut is much slower, Ricardo searched all over San Diego, and only found a dozen barbers, even though Li Mu's requirements are not high, but until the time of the lamp, the work was not completed.

"Arrange for them to rest first, continue tomorrow, arrange a dinner for them before going to bed, it is still the same gruel, and you can try to add some minced meat to the gruel tomorrow, and then increase the amount of food after three days." After Li Mu made arrangements, he left Guantanamo with Benjamin and returned to Santiago first.

Sitting in the cabin of the "Sea Ranger", Benjamin remembered the scene he had seen during the day, and still had palpitations: "It's hard to imagine how those people survived, they must have suffered a lot-"

There was no need to discuss this issue, Li Mu ignored Benjamin, took out a small notebook and began to write and draw again.

"What are you writing about?" Benjamin was curious.

"Write what I should write - we need more clothes, more food, and don't you want to do something for them in this scene today?" Li Mu's pen does not stop.

To tell the truth, even if there are no Chinese among those slaves, Li Mu will not turn a blind eye, Li Mu believes in "natural selection, survival of the fittest", but Li Mu also understands the truth that the strong should lend a helping hand to the weak, which has nothing to do with interests, only with human nature.

"What can I do for them? This is Cuba, they're Cubans, and to be honest I don't care if they live or die, and if I want to prove my compassion, then I might as well care about the Indians who are being slaughtered, at least they're Americans. "Benjamin's attitude is also typical.

"The Indians who are being slaughtered are thousands of miles away from you, and you can't control them even if you want to, but the tragedy in Cuba is happening right in front of you, are you indifferent to it? And I bet that one day the United States will repent of the massacre of the Indians -- "Li Mu did not want to convince Benjamin that it was difficult to change a person's mind."

In Li Mu's imagination, in the 21st century, even the Germans repented of the massacre of Jews in World War II, and there is no reason why Americans should not repent.

In fact, Li Mu really thought wrong, in this matter, the Americans really don't think they did wrong, the Americans think that it happened during the reign of the British king, and the British king should take the blame for this matter, so the Americans are not responsible. At one point, there was a document in the United States Congress that the United States Government should apologize for "irrational policies and violence against the Indians, looting and the destruction of agreements with the indigenous peoples of North America." But the document also states that the document must not be the basis for any legal claims made by the Indians against the United States Government.

Hehe, this is democracy in the United States!

Of course, although Americans do not repent verbally, the United States actually takes care of the Indians, for example, the Indians will receive special care in their education, all business activities will be tax-free, and the Indian territory will not be subject to American law, and so on.

"Reem, don't be stupid, the conquest of the Indians is the unanimous decision of all Americans, and if the United States expresses repentance for the conquest of the Indians, it means that this generation of Americans is wrong, then the legal basis for the United States to occupy the territory of the Indians will no longer exist, so the United States will definitely not repent." Benjamin doesn't know how the U.S. government will choose in the twenty-first century, but Benjamin has his own judgment.

"Okay, you're right, I just want my workers to be healthy now, so that they can burst out more productively and work better for me, are you satisfied with this answer?" Li Mu gave up the argument and used another set of rhetoric.

"Of course, that's what you should do." Benjamin was very satisfied with Li Mu's explanation, and as soon as the words fell, Benjamin's eyes purred for a while, and then gave Li Mu an idea: "If you want slaves, then why don't you go to Cespedes, you should know that they drove out the Spaniards and established the Republic of Cuba, so the prisons in Santiago must be overcrowded, and there must be all kinds of talents you want." ”

That's right, once a son of heaven and a courtier, Cespedes established the Republic of Cuba, then he will definitely put all those who support the Spaniards in prison, if Li Mu goes to Cespedes, then maybe Li Mu can really get his wish.

"Not yet, I'm waiting for Cespedes to come to me, and then I'll be able to make a request." Although Li Mu has decided to cooperate with Cespedes, this involves a question of initiative, so Li Mu will not take the initiative to find Cespedes.

"Hehe, you hypocrite, there are a lot of Cubans suffering in the prisons of the Republic of Cuba, why don't you rescue them?" Benjamin finally found the handle to attack Li Mu.

"That's better than you cold-blooded guy, whether a person is hypocritical or not should not be judged by one or two things, and even if I am hypocritical, then did those slaves in Guantanamo Bay benefit from this? This is better than you cold-blooded guy-" Li Mu casually closed the small notebook, looked at Benjamin and sneered: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, put away your tricks of mixing sand, as long as we control the army of the Republic of Cuba, then Cespedes can only let us pinch and flatten." ”

Li Mu saw through Benjamin's trick, don't think that Benjamin made this suggestion to Li Mu with good intentions, Benjamin wants to get Cespedes' opposition out of prison through Li Mu, then Benjamin also has the capital to threaten Cespedes, if Cespedes is disobedient, Benjamin can raise an opposition in Cuba at any time.

Li Mu didn't want to see that happen, now that Cespedes was Li Mu's partner, Li Mu had no reason to go far, and Li Mu didn't think it made sense to support Cespedes' opposition in the Republic of Cuba, which would only plunge Cuba into a long-term civil war.

"Ah, okay, whatever you want-" Benjamin still didn't practice enough, and was exposed by Li Mu, Benjamin's old face turned red, and then he hid his face and left.

There's nothing good about it!
