Chapter 374 Buying Weapons

After hearing Ye Qing’s answer, Zhao Ling was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

This sum of money must be spent here. It is useless to carry these dollars to the next era. So what product is most beneficial to their plan now?

There is no doubt that it is a firearm. Zhao Ling is very clear that their greatest advantage lies in the strength of these tens of thousands of workers, but their weakness is that they only have the support of these workers.

Whether it is the person in charge on the construction site or the overseers, they have a large number of guns in their hands. Ordinary people have almost no chance of winning in the face of these firearms.

Of course, if you choose to use human lives to make up the gap in this equipment, it must be feasible. After all, the number of workers is far greater than those of supervisors. But neither Zhao Ling nor Ye Qing would be willing to take the lives of their compatriots in exchange for victory.

If there is no alternative, then naturally you can only bite the bullet. But now that they have money in their hands, they can naturally consider firearms.



In just a few seconds, Zhao Ling probably understood Ye Qing’s thoughts. Ye Qing also said immediately:

“I’ve inquired about it before. There are several small towns not far from this construction site. Although I didn’t directly ask if there are gun shops, even if I ask these workers, I don’t necessarily know. But America has guns. It was written into the constitution and carved into the genes. I don’t think there will be no gun shops in that small town.”

Both Zhao Ling and Funi nodded thoughtfully, and Red Beard was interested. It seemed that he was still very interested in the weapons of this era.

Seeing that everyone didn’t seem to have any other opinions, Ye Qing spoke again: “Of course, I don’t know the price of guns in this era. But I think that if you can’t buy a gun for $3,000, it’s absolutely impossible.”

At this time, Fanny opened the mouth and said: “But how much can we buy with this money?”

“Naturally, I can’t buy too much, so I don’t plan to just let us pay for it.” Ye Qing spread out and said.

Zhao Ling’s eyes lit up and said, “Do you want the workers to buy with us?” But then Zhao Ling calmed down and said with some doubts: “The wages of the Chinese workers are no more than fifty dollars. Let them buy guns. This is really true. Is it realistic?”

Ye Qing did not make any promises, but said (accf): “No matter what, this is for them to buy. If they are not willing, I will naturally not force it. I think these Chinese workers have been working for the American people. It can’t be long. As long as you want to earn yourself a chance to live well, you will agree with me.”

Hearing this, Zhao Ling also sighed. Ye Qing’s words are correct. The group of Chinese workers who worked hard for the American Pacific Railway for several years did not even have the chance to show up or be mentioned at the celebration ceremony. No one knows where the surviving part of this group of Chinese workers will go in the end.

“Well, if everyone has no opinion, let’s go to the construction site again. Then see Mr. Wu and the others.”

Ye Qing is someone who wants to do it. After confirming the plan, Ye Qing led a few people out of his cabin. All the Chinese workers I saw along the way were all smiling. And when they saw Ye Qing, they did not hesitate to say a word of thanks to Ye Qing again. This extra dozen dollars does not seem to be much, but for them, it is already available

In order to make their lives better.

Ye Qing greeted these Chinese workers as usual, said a few words to them, and encouraged them. But today he did not stay with these workers for too long, but quickly moved towards the residence of Mr. Wu. After learning about Wu’s residence that day and having a meal with Wu, Ye Qing also often went to communicate with this wise old man.

At this time, Mr. Wu was sitting in his tent, watching the fifty dollars sent to him, almost crying.

He was undoubtedly one of the leaders of the last Chinese labor strike. At that time, Mr. Wu, on behalf of Huagong, discussed with those in charge of America, but did not receive the attention of the railway company at all. Ten meters away, you can read contempt from the fat-eared leaders.

Because of this, even if the Chinese workers forced them to strike, their demands were not accepted. The salary is still so much. Although the working hours were promised at the time, it was discovered afterwards that it was just a scam!

Mr. Wu was sad for his incompetence, and also for the compatriots who worked so desperately and were buried in the snow-capped mountains. After all, he is just a Chinese worker. Even if he can speak English, he is undoubtedly a Chinese worker. In this way, he couldn’t get meat from the mouths of those railway companies at all.

“Fortunately, there is a noble person to help.” Old Wu thought of Ye Qing, the man who completed his goal of the year, yes, at this time he was absolutely sure that among the four managers, Ye Qing must be the one. leading. This is the conclusion he has drawn from his decades of looking at people. He didn’t know how this young Chinese climbed to the top position of the railway company, but he knew that Ye Qing must have suffered a lot.

This also made him more grateful to Ye Qing.

“This is very good, this is very good.” Looking at the fifty dollars in his hand, and remembering the spirit of his compatriots these days, Mr. Wu not only sighed like that.

Suddenly, the emperor of the tent was pulled apart, and Wu Lao saw his old buddies coming in, with the same emotion on his face.

Old Wu, “You got your money, too.” The old man in the lead sighed and said.

Old Wu nodded, did not speak, but looked at him and the large group of people behind him with doubts.

“There is nothing special, I just want to come and talk with you about the future plans. As you know, this project is about to end. The question of where we, a large number of Chinese people, should go next is very important.” The old man continued. Said, “And now everyone’s wages have also risen. Everyone has more than ten dollars more, and there are so many things that can be done.

Hearing this question, Mr. Wu suddenly had a headache. There are more than 10,000 Chinese on this construction site, not to mention that all of them will follow him, but there must be many people who want to follow him. As one of the few people who can speak English and an experienced elder, he really needs to consider this issue for these compatriots.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the tent: “Why are so many people here today? Everyone has worked hard. Has the salary been paid? That’s good, that’s good.”
