027 I don't have time to explain, get in the car
In the 21st century, there is still a lot of literature that records this history, and in almost all of them, the American people have shown a welcome to students from the Qing Empire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Obviously, it was all the glorification of art, and the real fact is that these children from the mysterious ancient empire of the Far East had just arrived in San Francisco and were being watched by the Americans, and this "onlooker" was certainly not well-intentioned.
If the people under the Qing government at this time were ignorant, then the quality of the Americans was also very bad, especially in California, which was even Mexican territory twenty years ago, and in the 1848 Mexican-American War, the United States took half of Mexico's territory, and California became American territory at this time.
Before 1848, San Francisco was not called San Francisco, but Yeva Buena, also known as San Francisco, and before 1848 there were only about 800 people in the entire San Francisco area, but after the discovery of the gold mine, the population here swelled to 25,000 in just three months, a considerable number of whom were Chinese who were trafficked to mine here.
The United States is a country of immigrants, if the original Americans were all broken houses, criminals, and adventurers who couldn't survive in Europe, then the current California is the same, because of the westward expansion movement of the United States, many Americans who have little opportunity on the East Coast came to the west and participated in the vigorous westward expansion movement.
Before Mike found the carriage, Li Mu used this time to popularize some knowledge about San Francisco to the Yan family.
The effect was still obvious, after Li Mu finished speaking, the panic and anxiety that the Yan family originally looked at the foreigners around quickly disappeared, and was replaced by disdain and contempt.
Although the Yan family did not have a high social status in the Qing Empire as slaves, they always worked in the palace, and they were all honest and honest people, and they had never been traitors.
This is a problem of cognition of the world, in the past, the Yan family had the impression that foreigners were all "foreign adults", they belonged to the privileged class, and they were the masters that even the officials of the Qing Empire had to serve carefully, so the Yan family, as a slave, naturally bowed their heads psychologically when facing foreigners, and felt inferior and panicked from the bottom of their hearts.
It's different now, after Li Mu exposed the old background of these foreigners, the Yan family immediately had the concept of "foreigners are just like this" in their hearts.
This concept is actually not wrong, the Chinese world has the tradition of "parents are not far away", under normal circumstances, unless the hometown suffers from natural disasters and man-made disasters, life is precarious, otherwise the Chinese will not leave their hometowns, in the Chinese ideological system, the concept of "people leaving their hometowns cheaply" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but as long as there is a little way, people will not leave their hometowns to break into the world, since these foreigners in front of them are poor people who have left their hometowns, then they are nothing great.
The change in thinking must be reflected in action, so Mike, who came back with two carriages, was a little surprised.
"What's wrong with them? What magic did you cast on them? Of course, Mike could feel that he had left for such a short time without looking, and there was no longer much awe in the eyes of everyone in the Yan family looking at him, and there was even an element of pity, which really surprised Mike.
If you follow Li Mu's theory to set Mike, then Mike is also an out-and-out "poor man".
Think about it, Mike is an American who went to the Far East to make a living, and the United States is a country of immigrants, which means that Mike first did not get along in Europe, and then came to the United States from Europe, but he still didn't get mixed up in the United States, and there was really no way to go to the Far East again.
How miserable is this, it's almost a circle around the earth!
Li Mu didn't explain, and after Mike took the initiative to help Li Mu open the door of the carriage, Li Mu got into the car.
There's no way, who let Li Mu be Mike's creditor, there is no such thing as "the one who owes the debt is the master", people are still very simple, it is natural to repay the debt, and if you can't pay it back, you will be an honest grandson -
Mike followed Li Mu into the same carriage, and Chu Xue came up with him.
Chu Xue's current identity is Li Mu's personal maid, since she is "close", she must be a little "close", and not leaving an inch is just a basic requirement.
Close the door of the carriage, quietly inside the car and outside the noisy car are suddenly two worlds, although the noise outside is still through the car with poor sound insulation, but in a closed and small space, the sense of security is still a lot more, at least Li Mu obviously heard the first snow let out a sigh.
"We're going to go to the Jinshan Hotel first, this is the reserved foothold for the young children's overseas business, take a short rest at the Jinshan Hotel, and then let's take the train to Springfield, New England, which will be the last stop of our long journey-" In the carriage, Mike was busy introducing the next itinerary, but Li Mu's mind was not on this.
Just as Li Mu and the others sat in the carriage, the total number of thirty international students was still lined up on the dock, and Old Man Chen was communicating with an official of the Overseas Migrant Bureau who seemed to have arrived in San Francisco in advance.
The children have no fear of the camera, they have already taken a group photo when they boarded the ship in Shanghai, and now they are just curious.
Yan Shun's performance is still very good, although he is an impostor, but Yan Shun is not much restrained, he does what the other children do, and because of his tall stature, Yan Shun always stands in the last row of the line, which makes Yan Shun look unremarkable.
Soon, the children lined up on the dock under the direction of the photographer to take their first group photo when they arrived in mainland America.
This is the carriage that has been waiting next to it for a long time finally drove over, and the children boarded the car one after another, and Yan Shun was a little uncertain to find Li Mu at this time.
Li Mu had already prepared, pushed open the carriage door and leaned out half of his body to make a quiet gesture to Yan Shun, and only then did he relax after watching Yan Shun also get into the carriage.
It seemed that all the children were gentlemen, except for the little fat man.
Just as Li Mu boarded the carriage, the little fat man was punching and kicking Lao Zheng, and Li Mu finally knew how many people the little fat man's entourage was, it was a team of more than forty people, almost more than the number of officials in the Young Boys Overseas Career Bureau.
The little fat man has a special identity, and Old Man Chen didn't dare to slack off, and he had already prepared a carriage for the little fat man.
But the little fat man's servants are not covered by the Young Children's Overseas Retirement Bureau, so there is only one carriage, and the obvious problem is that no one in the little fat man's team seems to speak English, so the little fat man is a little anxious.
"Hey, fatty, do you want to come with me?" Li Mu opened the door of the carriage and sent an invitation to the little fat man.
The little fat man ran over quickly, opened the car door and got straight in.
"What did you just call me? You rebellious dog, master, I have to let you know that Lord Ma has three eyes today-" The little fat man's first sentence made Li Mu have the urge to drive people out of the car.
This is also a person who does not know the times.
