Chapter 30: Where to go

"Let's eat!" After Cao Shanhu finished crying, he actually used a large coconut shell to hold half a bowl of hot rice porridge and handed it to Zhu Junyi.

Zhu Junyi really underestimated this "grass coral", and it took some time to boil the medicine left and right, and the "grass coral" made a bowl of rice porridge while chatting with himself.

I saw Cao Shanhu on the stove in the center of the house, half of the fire was used to boil medicine, half of the fire was used to cook rice porridge, a gap in the clay pot, a broken bowl with half of the side missing, he boiled the medicine, and made rice porridge, and even had time to take a big coconut from the side and open the big mouth of the bowl.

When the rice porridge was poured into the freshly opened coconut, the fragrant and fragrant fragrance directly aroused Zhu Junyi's insectivore. Fortunately, Cao Shanhu didn't let him wait too long, and directly served it in front of him.

Zhu Junyi has been living a half-hungry and half-full life for more than half a month before, came here and was in a coma all day without eating, and now he almost doesn't feel hungry, lying on the bed on his side, supporting his body with his left elbow, holding coconut fruit to soak rice porridge, eating clean in one go, and when he can't finish putting down the coconut shell, Cao Shanhu smiled "hehe", grabbed both sides of the coconut shell and used it hard, the coconut shell split into two halves, handed half of it to Zhu Junyi again, and gave a wooden spoon, and he demonstrated that he generally made a scooping action.

The coconut meat in the coconut had already been scalded by the heat of the hot rice porridge, Zhu Junyi easily scraped off a large piece from the coconut shell according to the prompts, put it in his mouth and tasted it, the fragrance was strong and invigorating, "Hmm! It's delicious! He couldn't help but praise it.

"Hey, hey!" Cao Shanhu gritted a mouthful of big yellow teeth and smiled slightly apologetically: "This kind of place, there is nothing delicious to eat, just this big shell of coconuts is everywhere, and there is a large coconut grove behind this house. ”

At this moment, a loud grunt suddenly sounded from the side, Zhu Junyi followed the sound and looked over, Cao Shanhu patted his stomach awkwardly, pretended to be full of wine and food, and said: "I just eat, and my belly is supporting!" ”

Zhu Junyi drank rice porridge, but he was actually half full, he was afraid that Cao Shanhu would misunderstand, so he ate two more bites before pushing the coconut shell over and saying: "Brother Cao, you eat, I am a child, I have a small belly, and I am full early!" ”

Cao Shanhu asked with certainty: "You really don't want to eat it?" ”

Zhu Junyi shook his head, and Cao Shanhu happily took the coconut shell, chewed it happily, and said with a smile: "I have been looking for such a big coconut for a long time, but don't waste it." ”

Zhu Junyi looked carefully in the room, and did not see any containers such as rice jars that could hold rice, and immediately understood in his heart, his nose was a little sour, and he silently recorded this friendship in his heart, and his defense in his heart was also a little weaker.

Cao Shanhu is a chatterbox, he can't stop his mouth when he eats, and he chats with Zhu Junyi while eating.

came and went, Zhu Junyi learned a lot of information from Cao Shanhu's mouth.

It turned out to be a sugar mill fifty miles away from the city of Batavia, called Gandaria.

A hundred years ago, after the Dutch East India Company controlled Batavia, it vigorously developed spice cultivation in Bacheng and the coastal area, and the sugar industry was the most profitable industry.

Unexpectedly, a few years ago, the sugar market in Europe was saturated, the economic situation of the Dutch East India Company was getting worse day by day, the cane sugar planted and pressed could not be sold, many farmers in Bacheng went bankrupt and committed suicide, the business of the sugar factory also plummeted, and the life of Chinese workers deteriorated to the point where it was almost difficult to make a living.

At this time, Wei Shangli and Wei Shangyi, brothers of the Qing Kingdom Black Shirt Society, came to Bacheng and bought a sugar factory to continue to operate, although the business was still bleak, but at least the Chinese workers here were fed and did not starve to death. The other plantations and factories in the surrounding area were not working, and the number of unemployed Chinese laborers increased, and many of them were hungry and wanted to make trouble.

"Last month, the master of the Huang Hall in the congregation also came here, and seeing the pity of the Chinese brothers here, he reopened the incense hall, and took in many brothers who could not survive to join the church, and gave everyone a bite to eat, and gave clothes and medicines, but he is a very good person! Oh, lo and behold! Cao Shanhu patted his clothes and pants and continued: "In the past, everyone couldn't eat, and a rag wrapped around their body was even clothes, but now everyone has new clothes to wear, and their stomachs can barely be full, which is already a good day!" ”

The Black Shirt Society has business dealings with many Chinese businessmen in Bacheng, and the medicinal materials transported by the Black Dog are purchased by the Black Shirt Club. That day, the black dog came to deliver the goods, and it happened that the Huang Tang Master was arranging the expansion of the warehouse, and after Zhu Junyi's successful assassination of the black dog, he was discovered by the Huang Tang Master outside the warehouse, and the Huang Tang Master saw the scene and immediately knew the cause and effect, not only was he not angry because of the death of the medicinal material supplier, but he thought that Zhu Junyi, a yellow-mouthed child, dared to assassinate a strong man, who was brave and knowledgeable, young and promising, and was very appreciative.

Zhu Junyi only had some gratitude to the Black Shirt Society and the Yellow Hall Master, but he didn't have a good feeling. When I heard that the Black Shirt Society had now taken in nearly 1,000 people in the Gandariya Sugar Factory, I couldn't help but worry about Cao Shanhu, thinking that there would be a big problem with this Black Shirt Society, and it was only a small plan to gather so many Chinese workers. But he has just been favored by others, and when he wakes up, he will take revenge and speak ill of others, he will never do this kind of thing, and deliberately hint that Cao Shanhu should take more precautions, but he doesn't know how much Cao Shanhu listens to and how much he understands, so he has to do his best and have a clear conscience.

Chatting and chatting, the thorn in Zhu Junyi's heart protruded again.

In his original plan, he hoped to return to the Great Qing Kingdom to develop. If you want to get ahead in this time and space, and strive for power, wealth, and strength to create an ideal world, why not go to the Qing Dynasty that you know well? Just like the protagonists in the novels of later generations, returning to the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties abound, aren't they all mixed up? Either to be an emperor or a prince, to dominate one side and unify the world, there is no next row, even if it is not good, it is good to make a glass and a steam engine industry and be a rich man! He studied mechanical engineering in his previous life, not to mention the most famous figure of the Qianlong Dynasty, He Shen, that guy is a fierce man who has earned the world's gross domestic product for ten years in just a few decades! With so many lessons from the past, although Zhu Junyi lacks interest in unifying the world, he is still very interested in the rich world and Ze Shou, even if he can't compare with other traversers, at least get to know Emperor Qianlong, and it's always more than enough to be Wei Xiaobao's second, right?

Zhu Junyi's cognition of the Qing Dynasty all comes from Jun Ge'er's limited memory in the past few years and the Qing court dramas on the bad streets in later generations, especially several "masterpieces" that praise the merits of Kang Yongqian's three dynasties, or TV series such as "Ji Xiaolan with Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth", "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" and other TV series, I only think that the emperors in it are all wise and martial, exquisite, gentle, wise and virtuous, and the worst such as He Shen, that is, he is greedy for money in every possible way, and a minister can be greedy for 1.1 billion taels of silver, gold and silver. No matter how bad the life of the common people is, it will not be worse than the old society of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, after all, it is the last prosperous era in Chinese history!

However, after listening to Cao Shanhu's words, the image of the Qing Dynasty in Zhu Junyi's heart was completely distorted, and he couldn't refute Cao Shanhu's views, and he couldn't doubt what Cao Shanhu said.

Zhu Junyi knows his temper very well, and thinks he is a three-level mountain person: if he is not in a good mood, he will be cheap-not give face; When the road is uneven, it will be cheap - draw a knife to help; Angering the scales will be cheap - brother will play with you.

It was because of this temperament that he smashed Yang Qi's office, lost his job, and was deceived by Cao Maniac into this time and space, and because of this temperament, he racked his brains to avenge Nina and Gao Sheng, and made himself what he is today.

If the Great Qing Kingdom is really like Cao Shanhu said, can he really go back and seal the territory and build a utopian socialist experimental field? Zhu Junyi was a little shaken.

"Brother Cao, the Great Qing Kingdom...... Is it really that bad? Zhu Junyi still wants to know more.

Cao Shanhu finished eating the coconut meat, threw the two coconut shells aside, sighed, and said gloomily: "No matter how good the outside is, it's not as good as home!" The dog is not too poor, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't survive in the Qing Dynasty, a fool would be willing to run to such an island. ”

He got up to look at the medicine frying in the fire, and said as he walked: "In this Gandarya sugar factory, one is counted as one, which guy doesn't have a story behind it?" ”

"Let's just say happy! That man's life is worse than mine! His family was originally a farmer in the township, no matter how big or small, there were always a few thin fields, and the old father and mother's wife could still have food and clothing when they were young. insisted that the cattle of the Xiding family ate the treasure saplings in the field of Liu Dahu's house, and a complaint was filed with the yamen, and the yamen arrested him and put him in prison and asked him for money, but he had no money, so he beat him up and put him in prison, and he didn't give him food or water! ”

In order to save him, his father and mother-in-law mortgaged the land to Liu Dahu and begged Liu Dahu to withdraw the complaint. To say that he said something rebellious in prison is a great crime of killing the head! One buckle was deducted for more than half a year, that year there was a big official in the province called to go to their county, his father and mother went to block the road to complain, but the complaint was not completed, but was beaten, saying that it was a collision with the official authority, and a few days after going back, his father was gone. Alas! Miserable! ”

"There is no man in the family, the old lady is still sick, his mother-in-law in order to get money to his mother to see a doctor, had no choice but to sell the field to Liu Dahu, finally raised some money for his mother to treat the disease, the yamen came to collect taxes again, his mother-in-law said that the field has been sold, the yamen did not admit it, said that there is no yamen's signature, but also according to the original number of acres of land to pay taxes, and then go to Liu Dahu, people said in black and white, refused to resign, his mother-in-law watched the sale of the field of the few taels of silver were snatched away by the yamen, hey! Sorry! ”

"In order to treat his mother's illness, his mother-in-law gritted her teeth and sold herself, but his mother felt sorry for her son, and took this money to honor the official in the cell.

"The old lady is gone, and the kid in his family is still swaddling, no one cares about it, and he starves to death. The yamen saw that his land was gone, the people were gone, and the silver was gone, so he informed his mother-in-law to raise money to ransom people, and took pity on the few silver coins that his mother-in-law had saved hard in the kiln, and all of them were given to the yamen, and on the day the yamen let him out, his mother-in-law thought that he was not clean, and hanged himself and left. ”

Cao Shanhu wiped his tears, and said half-crying, half-annoying: "Xidingren is out, the field is gone, the home is gone, and the father, mother, and wife are gone!" Can he be blamed for this? Blame his aunt? He couldn't get angry for a while, so he killed Liu Dahu with a knife and was arrested by the yamen, so he had to run to Java, where chickens don't lay eggs, birds don't shit, and turtles don't go ashore! Little brother, you say! Is this still a life that can be lived? What kind of world is this Qing Kingdom? You still say it's 'prosperous'? ''! ”

Zhu Junyi listened silently, and suddenly felt a little sour in his heart, such a Qing Dynasty, such a world, does he Zhu Junyi really have the ability to change? Why did he change? I came to this time and space inexplicably, trapped in a small body of five years old, and whether I can survive depends on God's will.

In such an unreasonable Qing Dynasty, can he really change all this smoothly as he imagined?

"Do I still have to go to the Mulan paddock, hit an arrow, and then say to Emperor Qianlong, do you remember Mama Rong on the shore of Daming Lake?" Zhu Junyi laughed at himself bloody, and slowly closed his eyes, in such a world, no matter what decision he makes, he must do what he can, and the most important thing now should be to find a high ascension.

As for after that,...... Let's think about how to survive......

For the first time, Zhu Junyi had a strong confusion about the future......
