1850 American Gold Tycoon

Chapter 72 Going to school is the way out for most people (three more!)
Since Liang Yao became the actual controller of California, despite the cholera, in general, California is still full of vigor and vitality, and everything is competing for development.

Liang Yao rode to the port of San Francisco. He had two things to do today.

One thing Cai Mingsheng begged him to do.

Cai Mingsheng recognized Alan, son of the late Jenkins, as his godson. Cai Mingsheng thought that the boy was clever and clever, and hoped that Liang Yao could send him to the east to go to school.

The other thing is to receive Vanderbilt's steamship, that is to say, from today, his global shipping company officially owns a steamship with a class of more than [-] tons.

After Jenkins died in vain, the young Allen took up the burden of the family. In addition to helping his mother manage the store and working part-time as a newspaper delivery worker, he often went to the immigrant hostel to help.

It is said that this child is very talented in language and has already mastered Chinese and some dialects of Fujian and Cantonese proficiently.This surprised Liang Yao.

When passing by the immigrant hostel, Liang Yao saw little Alan at a glance. The blond-haired and blue-eyed little Ailun stood out among a group of Chinese immigrants.

The work of the immigrant hostel is not easy. There are as few as [-] Chinese immigrants arriving in San Francisco every day, and as many as dozens of them.

"Ellen!"

Cai Mingsheng, who was traveling with Liang Yao, called out the name of his godson Ailun.

Seeing that it was Liang Yao and Cai Mingsheng, Ai Lun immediately ran out from the immigrant hostel and stood obediently in front of them.

"Your godfather asked me to send you to the east to go to school, and go back to pack your things. Tomorrow, take Mr. Vanderbilt's boat to New York, and he will arrange everything for you when he arrives in New York."

In order to test Little Alan, Liang Yao deliberately used Chinese to talk to Little Alan.

"Sir, I don't want to go to the east to go to school." Little Allen shook his head and replied in fluent Chinese.

"I used to go to elementary school in Philadelphia for a few years. Both the teachers and classmates were snobbish. Going to school was a kind of torment. Not only could I not learn anything at school, but I was also bullied by senior classmates. Every day I lived in fear. Life is better in California.

Here I can make money and meet a lot of friends who are much more interesting than my classmates at school. "

Little Allen was very repulsive and disgusted with going to school, expressing that he did not want to go to school in the East.

Although Little Allen's speech speed is relatively slow, and the pronunciation of some words is strange, but there is no problem in normal communication and dialogue in Chinese.It seems that he is indeed very talented in languages.

"I'll find you a good school, and this kind of thing won't happen again. If you don't go to school, you won't be educated, and it will be difficult for you to be successful in the future." Liang Yao said.

Cai Mingsheng reprimanded Little Ailun as if he was teaching his own child: "You bastard! Your father and I never had a chance to go to school before! Don't be ashamed!"

"Mr. Vanderbilt dropped out of school at the age of eleven, and he is now one of the richest people in the United States!" Little Allen argued, "It can be seen that whether or not going to school has nothing to do with whether or not you are successful, may I ask Mr. , is Mr. Vanderbilt a worthless man?"

After hearing what Little Ailun said, Cai Mingsheng waved the whip in his hand angrily to beat Little Ailun.

"You kid still dare to talk back?!"

Liang Yao stopped Cai Mingsheng, and he said to Little Allen with a serious expression.

"Alan, Mr. Vanderbilt is a very promising person, but not everyone wants to be like Vanderbilt.

Get an education, get a job after school, that's the way most people go, see? "

Vanderbilt did not receive a relatively good education, but Vanderbilt parents were particularly successful in his family education.

And Little Alan's father, Jenkins, is gone, and his mother has to take care of other children. The education that the family can bring to Little Alan is very limited.

"Sir, have you ever been to college?" Little Allen asked.

"I have read it."

Little Allen fell into deep thought. After lowering his head for a moment of thought, he raised his head, looked up at Liang Yao who was taller than him and said.

"Mr. Liang, compared to Mr. Vanderbilt, I think you are more powerful than Mr. Vanderbilt. It took Mr. Vanderbilt many years to become a rich man, but it took you less than a year to become a rich man." The wealthiest people in the West.

I want to be your assistant and your right-hand man like Mr. Strauss after I return from my studies. "

Little Allen's words made Liang Yao a little bit dumbfounded: "I am not comparable to Mr. Vanderbilt. I am looking forward to you being my right-hand man in the future, but first, you must learn more knowledge to be eligible." Being my right-hand man, Strauss has a good education, he went to university."

Seeing that little Ailun was willing to go to school in the east, Cai Mingsheng was very pleased. He turned his head and said to Liang Yao.

"Mr. Liang, this child has been clamoring for me to give him a Chinese name. You are a scholar who has achieved fame. If you have a university education, give him a Chinese name."

"With your last name?"

"Yes, follow my surname, it's better to be more foreign, half Chinese and half foreign." Cai Mingsheng thought for a while and said.

Cai Ai?Cai Lun?
No, not foreign enough.

"Let's call him Cai Si." Liang Yao said without thinking.

After naming little Allen, Sven ran over happily, as excited as a child.

World Shipping Company has a large steamship, and Sven's dream for many years has finally become a reality.

"Captain Sven, you look happy."

Liang Yao was as happy as Gentleman. With a large steamship, he could directly cross the Pacific Ocean and transport his compatriots who were eager to immigrate to California from the other side of the ocean, speeding up the speed of immigration.

However, Liang Yao, a large number of immigrants, also had to face two headaches, one from the Qing government and one from the American government.

The Qing government is easy to handle. The whole Qing Dynasty is rotten in this matter. It only needs to spend some money to take care of it.

Guangdong and Fujian were far away from the center of the imperial court, and the Qing government was beyond the reach of the immigration issue.

Liang Yao knew where the bottom line of the Qing government was. As long as the Qing government's financial center, the Jiangnan area, was not moved, the resistance from the Qing government would be better than nothing.

As for the governors and local officials in Guangdong and Fujian, not only can they benefit from it, but they will also thank Liang Yao for helping them solve the problem of refugees that was a headache for them.

In recent years, under the rule of the Qing government, natural disasters occurred frequently, coupled with the intensified exploitation of the people by local gentry officials, the Qing government kept collecting money to repay the indemnity in the Opium War, so that the Qing Dynasty now lacks everything, except refugees.

The United States is more troublesome. The large number of Chinese immigrants in California will definitely arouse the vigilance of Congress and the federal government.

But it is not without an opportunity to solve it. As long as the California State Assembly is established, the legality of Chinese immigrants will be written into law directly in the legislative assembly.

With the great state power in the United States, as long as California's state laws are not unconstitutional, the federal government will not be willing to directly intervene in California's affairs.

The states of the United States are not the provinces of the Qing Dynasty, and have considerable independence.

Even in the 1850st century, there are still many states that do not buy into the federal government, not to mention that it is still [-], and California is still a territory that the United States has just swallowed from Mexico and has not had time to digest.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"I'm very happy, my big boss." Sven Le blossomed, "The handover work has been completed. In addition to the three large steamships, the Global Shipping Company has 214 more skilled crew members and three excellent captains! "

"It's four ships!" Liang Yao corrected, "After Mr. Vanderbilt arrives in Nicaragua, the James Day will return to San Francisco and return it to World Shipping Company.

"So I have a new flagship?" Sven was overjoyed.

He looked at the James Day moored in the port of San Francisco, and the sound was about to flow down.

　Third watch for follow-up!
