Chapter 355: The Future of the Colony (Second Update, Asking for Support)
Outside the warehouse, the men who had received the number plates looked at the warehouse with longing, and they knew that their daughter-in-law was in the warehouse. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Woman!
For these bachelors, they never even imagined that they would have a daughter-in-law, a wife.
But now, home is right in front of them.
More than a dozen miles away in the "countryside", someone has already helped them build a house out of bamboo and wood, the house is not big, but it is a home, although they need to work as in the past, and work hard all day long in the fields. But now they see hope -- the hope of having a home.
Now, there is only one woman left in the bamboo building, and today, they will bring the woman home, and in the next few years, they will have to farm the land desperately, which will be used to pay the rent, and the woman's redemption money, no, not the redemption money, but the loan. It is the "loan" that the company gives to them.
The people outside looked at the warehouse expectantly, and the women in the warehouse had already stood in several rows, and in front of the women there was also a row of people.
Facing the rows of girls in red cardigan skirts, Zhao Dashan even felt like he had seen it, he was looking, looking for the girl he saw on the dock, and in the past two days, he had always remembered the pair of black grape-like apricot eyes.
While Zhao Dashan was searching for the target, Emi also looked nervously at the two dozen Chinese standing there, looking at the hot gaze in the eyes of those Chinese men, and one of them seemed to be somewhat familiar, it was the Chinese she had seen on the dock. And at this time, the Chinese also saw her, and his eyes showed joy.
Finally, it was Zhao Dashan's turn, as if he was afraid that others would snatch her, he hurried towards the girl. Now he is even glad that he is a member of the Self-Defense Army, and that he killed six headhunters in the rainforest, and it is by virtue of this feat that he has been given the right to choose - ordinary laborers have no right to choose at all, they can only bring their daughter-in-law home by number.
"Your name is Emmi!"
Emi opened her eyes wide and looked at the man standing like an iron tower in front of her, will he be her own man in the future?
"From now on, you will be the daughter-in-law of my old Zhao family......"
Saying this, Zhao Dashan only felt that his eyes were hot, and the tears almost flowed out...... He wanted to shout.
Have a home!
He Zhao Dashan has a daughter-in-law!
But he didn't scream, just grabbed the girl's hand tightly and pulled her out through the side door.
Ten minutes later, after completing the "marriage formalities", he took Megumi's hand, the slippery fingers made his heart itch, and looking nervously at the man in front of him, Megumi hadn't even reacted yet.
Now you're getting married?
Is that his wife?
"IβWhere are we going?"
Emi asked nervously in stiff Chinese.
"Go home, let's go home!"
Now Zhao Dashan even wants a horse, if there is a horse, now he can ride a horse and take his wife home, and then ...... And then of course, there are candles in the cave room!
Ten minutes later, he finally returned home -- it was a military village built near the barracks, and a big red paper was posted at the entrance of the village, on which the word "Xi" was written, and when Zhao Dashan had just returned, he immediately saw that someone had lit firecrackers, and dozens of comrades-in-arms rushed over, and their faces were all full of laughter, and of course they were inevitably a little jealous.
"Dashan, sister-in-law is so beautiful......"
"That's a water ......"
Looking at the men who squeezed over with a coax, Emi was frightened and hurriedly shrank behind Zhao Dashan, and Zhao Dashan even took Megumi's hand and pulled her into his arms.
"What you do, what you do!"
said this in his mouth, but Zhao Dashan's heart was full of pride, and his mouth was even more excited.
"Look at you one by one, what did you do on the battlefield in the first place? If you have made military merits, you should also go and bring a daughter-in-law back......"
"Mountain, Hi Sugar,"
"That's it, give the candy ...... quickly"
Amidst the shouting of the brothers, Zhao Dashan grabbed a handful of candy and cigarettes from the backpack on his waist and sprinkled them into the air. Taking advantage of the distraction of everyone, he immediately picked up Emi and ran towards the house in her screams, this military village is not big, in fact, thirty two-story houses have been built, in the midst of the coaxing of everyone, he ran all the way to the house, opened the door, and when the door bolt was inserted, there was still a continuous coaxing of his comrades outside the door.
But he didn't care so much, he looked at the girl with his hands around his neck, at the eyes and at the undulating hill on his chest, he couldn't control himself anymore.
"You're my daughter-in-law......"
With the sound of heavy breathing, Zhao Dashan hugged Huimei and entered the hall and went upstairs directly......
Daughter-in-law!
In the past half month, there has been a news circulating in every reclamation area in the whole of North Borneo - work hard, not only will you be able to get land in the future, but you will also be able to "get a daughter-in-law". Even on the bulletin board of the reclamation area, newsprint was posted, and it was written that a certain group of people in the reclamation area held a group wedding.
Woman!
Daughter-in-law!
Tie the knot!
Words like these floated in Ah Kou's mind, and he originally thought that he was doing "hard work", but as long as he had free time, these words would come to his mind.
In fact, it's not just him, other people, even black eggs, are also thinking about the same thing - who wouldn't want a woman in a normal man? When they were at home, no serious girl would marry them, but now they see hope.
"It is ten points to complete the task in a day, if you want to work more, you can earn a few more points, an extra point of 2 copper dollars, if you can do 5 more points a day, it is 10 copper dollars, and you can earn ...... a year"
Calculated like this in his mouth, because of his good gambling, although Ah Kou has not learned arithmetic, he can also calculate a rough idea.
"Anyway, there should be thirty oceans, plus a month's salary of one and a half oceans......"
Just as he was calculating this, there was a black egg's scolding next to him.
"You idiot, do 5 more hours a day, exhaust you idiot......"
The black egg scolded like this, and then said.
"I said Ah Kou, you want to marry a daughter-in-law, in fact, it's simple, instead of working so hard, it's better to sign a contract with the farm, anyway, it's enough to work for the owner for eight years, work for 27 days a month, you can get two oceans, and you can get 60 catties of rice a month, and the money for marrying a daughter-in-law and settling down is all ...... from the owner."
Although the black egg seems to have developed limbs, he is much more shrewd than Ah Kou, relying on his own tired work, marrying a wife and having children naturally has no point, but if you work for the owner, whether you get married or settle down, the money is from the owner.
"The owner is out of ......"
Ah Kou, who was lying on the bed, looked at the clinical black egg and said for a while.
"But, that's eight years of work! It's the same all day, it's the same as now, and it takes twelve hours......"
This is what Ah Kou is most worried about, now this ghost place, that is, from the dawn of the day, until dark, a full twelve or thirteen hours, a day of work than the past year to do more work, if another eight years of such days, how to survive the days?
"Do you think that there are gains and losses in this world, if you want to live a good life, do you still want to do nothing?"
The black egg was talking like this, but there was another thing in his heart, maybe after the completion of the year's transformation period, he would sign up for the Self-Defense Force, and then marry a daughter-in-law with military merits...... As for Ah Kou, looking at Ah Kou sleeping on the side who no longer spoke, he secretly thought to himself.
"Work...... And those who are tired from work? Isn't there a holiday in between......"
ββ¦β¦ There is a day off every ten days, and ten days off on New Year's Day. β
Li Guoqing looked at the eldest brother in front of him and slowly calculated it with an abacus.
"Work for twelve hours a day, referring to the example of the railway, a month's salary is three oceans, well, we also gave them sixty catties of rice, now it looks like a loss, but don't forget, this is Nanyang, the salary must be more than the mainland, in my opinion, if you hire workers from the mainland, there are no five or six oceans a month, not to mention the matter of hiring workers, it is estimated that a worker needs at least 8 yuan, a year is 96 yuan, plus the festival reward, eight years must have at least 800 yuan. How much does it cost to buy a daughter-in-law? 60 yuan, plus their wages, is basically half less, so we still earned it. β
As the clan uncle's housekeeper in Nanyang, Li Guoqing is responsible for the clan uncle's real estate management here, and it is precisely because of this that Li Guolan rushed over from Sandakan in a hurry after knowing his plan. He was originally ready to reprimand his cousin, but he would listen to his cousin's calculations, and he opened his eyes wide and looked at this cousin in surprise.
"And when the time comes, you can earn back from women, you can raise silkworms with mulberry here, there is no winter here all year round, mulberry leaves must be more prosperous than the mainland, when the time comes, those women can naturally grow mulberry and raise silkworms, subsidize the family, and then sell those silkworms to whom? Why don't you sell it to us? β
kept calculating, and finally Li Guoqing looked at his cousin and smiled.
"I estimate that if they work for us for eight years, we only need to pay 400 yuan, not counting the rest, even if they are allowed to farm the land and grow rice, they can earn back more than 5,000 yuan, which is more than ten times the profit!"
Looking at his cousin with a smile, Li Guoqing said.
"If you don't do this kind of business, then I'm really sorry for Uncle Six!"
As he spoke, Li Guoqing looked at his cousin and said.
"Actually, I think we seem to be wrong now, in the opinion of the younger brother, we Chinese should not work hard here to cultivate the land, rather than open up the land ourselves, it is better to organize all these Chinese into self-defense forces, and capture those Shengfan as slaves, I heard that in America, but they all do this, cousin, what do you think?"
The cousin's words made Li Guolan stunned for a while, and then said.
"This,I'm afraid this isn't appropriate.,After all, those raw fans.,Although it'...... But after all, it's also human......"
Although he said so, Li Guolan was greatly moved, indeed, compared to the "exiles" brought in from China, those Tufan savages are more numerous, and they are more suitable for the living environment here, if they are captured and let them reclaim the mountains and trees, they can undoubtedly reclaim the most land in the shortest possible time, but ......
"Cousin, this is a colony! As for the headhunters, they may be physiologically human, but how are they different from beasts in terms of behavior? How can headhunters and cannibalism be called people? β
With a sneer, Li Guoqing said in a tone without the slightest emotion.
"We capture them in order to educate them, to spread civilization, to bring them into civilized society......"

Civilized!
This term has never been the preserve of Westerners, after all, to a certain extent, "Huayi Zhizhi" is one of the cores of Chinese civilization, and the "civilized world" as spoken by modern Europeans is actually inherited from the division between "civilization" and "barbarism" in the Roman era. Similarly, in modern China, there is also a need for "Huayi discrimination", even more than in the past. (To be continued.) )
