In the two years that Stanford was tossing and turning, the Daming Labor Export Company shipped back 30,000 people from California, and at the same time sent another 20,000 people, and the total Chinese population in California at this time dropped to more than 30,000. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But the composition of the population is different from the past, from more than 50,000 young singles in the past to about 10,000 families now.

Labor companies have apparently changed their export methods and are beginning to worry about family migration, which is the only way to take root.

The reason why so many people can be successfully transported is also related to the large number of bankrupt silk households in the Ming Dynasty silk reeling revolution, many rural silk households, not only have the technology of silk reeling, but many people will plant mulberry and raise silkworms, but they want to raise silkworms and have no land for them to raise, so the rich areas in the Pearl River Delta have immigrants.

At the same time, in the Wukeng area, the impoverished areas of western Guangdong, and the Guangxi region, families willing to go to the United States to farm began to appear under the propaganda of the government.

The matter of the Pacific Railroad is not over yet, and Zhu Jinglun still does not want to see them build the railway, because he feels that the Chinese have not yet taken root in the local area.

Therefore, he always kept a close eye on the Americans, and he received the news that the Central Pacific Railway was going to Japan to recruit workers.

The reason why he was able to get the news so quickly was not because he had a close intelligence network in the United States, but because the United States had internal ghosts.

Wu Chongyao's righteous brother Forbes is also a railway giant, but he has been active on Wall Street for a long time, and he has a better relationship with the consortium in the eastern part of the United States, and the Union Pacific Railroad, which builds railways from the east to the west, happens to be a railway company controlled by the eastern consortium, and they value the resources in the hands of Stanford, a group of California land snakes, and they want to annex the Central Pacific Railroad, so they, like Zhu Jinglun, do not want to see Stanford's good.

The Central Pacific Railway's project came to a standstill, and two successive mass casualties, one of which was mainly Irish casualties of 1,000, caused a sensation in the United States, which was greater than the death of 10,000 Chinese, and the whole country reported it, so that all of a sudden the Irish workers saw that building the railway in the west was going to hell, and they could not even recruit Irish workers.

Stanford did not sit still, he pulled a large number of prisoners to the construction site, hired local tribe Indians to work, and lobbied the federal government to try to hand over a batch of unreleased Southern prisoners of war to him, of course, all of which were a drop in the bucket, and the greatest hope was whether he could recruit qualified laborers from Japan.

Far from stagnating, the Union Pacific Railroad's work continued to advance at a rapid pace, and it was more difficult than they could have imagined to build the railroad in the Rocky Mountains. They expect that in a year, he will also build the railway to the area of Serra Ridge, and then only need to break through the cliff to connect with the Central Pacific Railway Company and complete the whole line.

Therefore, they hope that the work of the Central Pacific Railway will continue to stagnate.

Sensing that the Chinese seemed to have a bad relationship with the Central Pacific Railroad and had repeatedly blocked the Central Pacific Railway's efforts to recruit workers, even in the Qing Dynasty, they pinned their hopes that the Ming would continue to prevent the Central Pacific Railroad from recruiting workers in Japan, so that they could not find workers for at least a year.

They said they would give the Chinese the most favorable treatment if they controlled California's railroads.

At the same time, they are also willing to sell a batch of land to the Daming Labor Export Company to set up a farm, they say that they have huge land resources, and the governments on both sides of the Pacific Railroad Company have subsidized a piece of land larger than Texas, which can be sold to Daming 10 million acres to develop farms.

Since the interests of the two sides are so aligned, Zhu Jinglun has no reason to refuse.

But the relationship between Daming and Japan was not good.

The Meiji Restoration had begun in Japan, but the Japanese were dissatisfied with the debt during the Shogunate Movement.

In order to suppress them, the shogunate issued 10 million taels of bonds to the Ming and the British, and later the Japanese shogunate was defeated, and most of this debt was eaten by the Bank of Guangzhou, but some were in the hands of banking families such as the Bank of Bahrain.

In order for the new Japanese government to recognize this debt, Britain and the Ming jointly put pressure on Japan, telling them that they must recognize the debt of the old government, which is international management, otherwise the British Empire and the Ming will not recognize the legitimacy of the new Japanese government, and they will never be able to borrow from the world.

Not borrowing from the outside world, for the Japanese of this era, they have no concept yet, and it is not clear what a serious warning this is. But they have a concept of the Ming Dynasty's ironclad ship, and the American black ship once made them feel terrified, and the ironclad ship is a monster they can't imagine.

Although the diplomats of the Ming Dynasty did not say anything threatening, they only invited them to visit the ironclad ship, and at the same time told them that the new government must admit the old debts in order to enjoy the international status of the old government, which is international common sense. The Japanese may be eager to communicate with the international community, or perhaps they are afraid of interference from the outside world, so they accept this "international common sense" and grit their teeth and admit this debt that was used to suppress them.

They couldn't afford to hate the British Empire, but they hated the Ming Dynasty to the fullest, and the reformers scolded the Ming for being in cahoots with the Yangyi.

Now the Americans were going to Japan to recruit laborers, and suddenly Daming felt as if he couldn't speak at all in Japan.

However, the Department of Foreign Affairs still decided to give it a try, sent Xu Rongcun to negotiate with Japan, and told the Japanese government that going to the United States to build a railway is to send its subjects to hell, where the Chinese have gone to build the railway, thousands of people have died, and warned the Japanese government not to do such inhumane things.

But the Japanese government seems to have negotiated well with the Central Taiping Railway, and it is not known what Stanford promised Japan, and the Japanese agreed to their request for free recruitment of laborers in Japan.

Since reasoning does not make sense, they can only use their fists and immediately spread rumors among Chinese businessmen in Japan that the United States recruited laborers in Japan and sold them to the United States as slaves and sent them to death. For a time, the people of the Japanese people were panicked, and the laborers who had taken the money also tried to escape, and the Americans locked them in the cabin and were not allowed to come out.

Then he paid to encourage some Japanese ronin, rushed to the American ship with a katana, hacked several Americans, rescued these Japanese laborers, and found that many of them were suffocated in the cabin, as a result, not only the Americans were condemned, but the Japanese government was also a little anxious.

At the same time, the international disputes caused by the employment of laborers made the United States and the Japanese government very uncomfortable, and under pressure, the United States demanded compensation from Japan, and the Japanese government was the most well-behaved, and they agreed to compensation, apologies, and other conditions, and the Ming Dynasty instigated public opinion, believing that the United States should also apologize to Japan at the same time, because several Japanese laborers suffocated under the cabin.

The lawsuit is not clear, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, the ironclad ships visited Japan, blatantly supporting the Japanese. Just as Japan's relationship with the United States is dangerous, neither country has ever thought of using force.

After a show, not only did the Americans delay recruiting Japanese laborers for several months, but the Japanese government was forced to reject the Americans' request to recruit labor again.

After this incident, the Ming government proposed to the Japanese government that in order to protect the lives and property of the workers, the Japanese government should also establish a company similar to the Ming labor export company to protect Japanese overseas workers.

Daming is very happy to provide advice and experience reference to the Japanese government in this regard, and is happy to work closely with relevant Japanese companies.

The Japanese government accepted this constructive proposal, and Japan followed suit by establishing the Japan Labor Export Corporation, which was authorized by the government to manage all overseas Japanese laborers, and at the same time informed other countries that if they wanted to recruit workers in Japan, they must sign employment agreements with this company.

After a labor crisis, relations between the Ming and Japan eased.

But Stanford's situation was even more precarious, and he could no longer find other funds.

He hated the Chinese, but he hadn't had the heart to fight China for a long time, because the struggle also costs money, and the Chinese seem to be very fond of lawsuits, and a third of their labor companies are American managers, and most of these people are lawyers.

A bastard like him, who always seems to find a way, chooses to shake hands with his opponent in a desperate moment, and he betrays the shareholders of the Central Pacific Railroad and privately sells a large stake in the Central Pacific Road to the Union Pacific Railroad.

Then he announced that he was leaving the Central Pacific Railroad, and now he could concentrate on other things, such as fighting the Chinese.

He began to preach to the outside world that Daming's labor export company had a plan to colonize the United States, and if the US government did not want to lose California, it was better to take care of the Chinese.

He also hired a large number of reporters and formed an investigation team to investigate the assets of the Daming Labor Export Company in California, believing that Forbes was the agent of the Daming Labor Service Company in the United States and an accomplice in helping the Chinese colonize the United States.

Unfortunately, Forbes, who is also a tycoon, slammed the rhetoric and regretted the California governor's remarks, arguing that there was nothing wrong with his company, which had the right to own real estate in California and the right to hire Chinese to cultivate farms.

But Forbes believes that helping Wu Chongyao has caused him huge trouble, and he needs to make amends.

Through Wu Chongyao, he conveyed the hope of opening up a million acres of tea plantations in China.

Wu Chongyao was very disappointed in his brother's performance, brothers just want to help each other, but they always feel that they are at a loss, and they are so good at accounting, which makes him feel very uncomfortable, and most importantly, he feels ashamed, embarrassed in front of Zhu Jinglun.

But Zhu Jinglun agreed, just kidding, two million acres of land in the California Delta are listed in the name of Forbes, Zhu Jinglun is not at ease, if Forbes can open up a big tea garden in China, he will also pinch the weakness of Forbes.

I believe that Forbes will not dare to fight the idea of those two million acres of land assets.
