The bright moon and the empty courtyard are like water like a Chinese year

Chapter 69 Chang and Kai conspire to sell Jia's piglets (2)

At that time, due to the poor living environment of the Chinese workers, they suffered from various diseases, especially malaria and rotten feet. Every year, 30 people in a plantation, mine, or company suffered from serious diseases.

Due to the extremely poor living conditions and the prevalence of diseases, many Chinese laborers went abroad to work, often without earning much money, and their precious young lives were taken away by diseases and fatigue.

……

From 1800 to 1940, about 1000 million Chinese laborers entered the Straits Settlements and the Commonwealth of Malays.Most of them come from Chaozhou, Huizhou and other places in eastern Guangdong, counties in the Pearl River Delta and Hainan Island, and a few come from eight counties in southern Fujian.

From 1847 to 1874, 50 indentured coolies were looted from China to Latin America, of which about 30 were shipped from Macau, and most of them were shipped to Cuba and Peru.

Suffering extremely cruel abuse, the average life expectancy of Cuban coolies is only five years, and the death rate is as high as 75%.

In 1860, almost all of the 4000 coolies transported to Peru’s Chincha Island to dig bird droppings died tragically.

From 1849 to 1882, a total of 30 Chinese laborers went to the United States.

The bad situation of selling piglets can be said to be: some people are not willing to go, and they don't care about you to grab them.In addition to a large number of farmers, he also robbed students and deceived them.

After arriving at the piggy house, if you don’t want to go out, you can see that he will beat you with a wooden stick and pinch you with a wooden plank. He will lock you in a cesspit, and people will poop on it, making you smell bad. Can't stand it.

Generally, four whips are used, and then he is tied up. Some whips have thorns on them, so you have to agree in the end.

On the way back to the Song family (on the street), the second young lady of the Song family (Zi Han) met the second master of the Song family (Yaochang) holding a suitcase in his hand, so the two started a dialogue——

"Second Uncle, why are you here?"

"Aren't you in Guangzhou with Dad and Mom?"

"You guys eat, don't wait for me"

"I made an appointment with a friend to talk about something, and I don't know when to talk about it."

"I won't talk to you now, I'm in a hurry"

"By the way, Zihan, please help me take my luggage back home, thank you."

Location: One of the rice warehouses at Shiliupu Wharf

Hurriedly saying goodbye to the second young lady of the Song family (Zi Han), the second master of the Song family (Yaochang), hurried to one of the rice warehouses at Shiliupu Wharf, and walked into the rice warehouse. It is very dark, but you can still feel that the rice warehouse is full of all kinds of white rice.

Walking in slowly, he found that there was a little light inside, and there was a person waiting for him in the dark, and that person was the one he had made an appointment with on the phone earlier in the morning——Meng Dekai.

"Brother De Kai, why did you invite me here?"

……

……

……

"I need to use the rice warehouse for the business I do recently, so I invite you to come here."

……

……

……

"By the way, Yaochang, you said on the phone that you have something urgent to call me, what exactly is it?"

……

……

……

"Vega is awake."

……

……

……

"Then what do you want from me???"

……

……

……

"I've heard he's no different than an idiot in what he's doing now."

"But for fear that he will one day sooner or later."

"So, I still want him"

"Brother De Kai, the method you proposed last time was not bad."

"It's just that if it is exposed, I will be in trouble"

"After all, killing is"

"So I want to see if you have another better way, Brother De Kai."

……

……

……

After a while, Meng Dekai thoughtfully replied——

"Well, I think of a way for you to get the best of both worlds."

"This matter, if you do it for me"

"You don't have to get into trouble"

"It can be done once and for all."
