Chapter 31: The Future
Qin Zhiyuan was very impressed by a clip in "Transformers".
When you use a wide-angle lens to look down on the universe, there are countless galaxies in the entire universe, like dust in the air, vast, lonely, unattached, and lonely.
If you move forward, you will look at an infinite number of star systems, one of which is called the Milky Way.
In the corner of the Milky Way, there is a galaxy called the Solar System. Of the eight planets orbiting the star of the Sun, there is one called Earth.
If we focus on Europe at this point in time in 1916, there is an unprecedented but endless war going on here, known as the First World War.
In the view of Westerners, Europe is the center of the world, so a war in Europe can be called a world war.
In Capi, a small town in northwestern France, a group of ordinary people from the East joined the war as laborers.
Within only two days of arriving at the front line, Qin Zhiyuan's identity had changed, and now no one called them "laborers", they were "angels" from the east.
"There are 530 people who came together, and so far, there are 522 people. Among them, there are 123 people who have received martial arts training since childhood or know how to use both hands. There are 18 people who know how to heal...... Well, strictly speaking, anyone who knows martial arts knows some medical skills, at least to treat bruises or something. In addition, 8 people have learned carpenter's trade, 12 people have learned blacksmith's trade, 3 people have been apprentices in the tent, 2 people used to be students, basically everyone can build a house, everyone can farm, and there are also people who can pinch candy people, conjugators, help cooks, chant scriptures, etc., engaged in all walks of life, what do you think of the placement? Early in the morning, Huang Fugui found Qin Zhiyuan to report the results of a busy night.
"Very good, you gather those who know martial arts, and let's set up a combat team. Gather the medical skills together, and let's set up a medical team. Then I took the rest of the man-made books, asked them what they wanted to do, and if there was a suitable job, I went to fix them down, and they would go to the arsenal as carpenters, and learn how to make guns and cannons; Those who can strike iron enter the steel mill and learn to make iron and steel; I really didn't know anything, so I stayed in Capi first, and I consulted with the French to train them as artillery or auxiliaries. For the arrangement of the workers, Qin Zhiyuan has already made a plan.
Historically, laborers in Europe were paid the lowest wages and did the most dangerous and dirty jobs, with no human rights guarantees and no social status. They could not even have civilian clothing, could not use public facilities, could not even leave the camp gates when they were not on duty, and had a social status inferior to that of German prisoners of war.
The original history in another time and space, Qin Zhiyuan can't interfere, but in this time and space, Qin Zhiyuan can't let the Chinese workers be called like cattle and horses, if possible, Qin Zhiyuan will join this war in his own way.
"This ...... Qin Ye, do you want to set up a mountain? After listening to Qin Zhiyuan's words, Huang Fugui hesitated in his words.
"It's not a hill, if you can earn a little more, why the five francs a day? Is it bad to take fifteen francs? "Qin Zhiyuan has asked many people, at this time in France, laborers are paid 5 francs a day, French soldiers are paid 10 francs a day, and as mercenaries, the Foreign Legion is a daily wage of 15 francs.
The salaries of the Foreign Legion are relatively high, and this is due to their nature. The Foreign Legion is not strictly French and has no obligation to take responsibility for France, so their salaries are higher than those of ordinary French soldiers. As laborers from China, the Chinese workers had already been exploited by the Huimin Company before they went abroad, and their salary was originally 7 francs a day, but through the Huimin Company, it became 5 francs.
"Ten...... Fifteen francs? Every day? Qin Ye? What you say is true? Chen Kangjian, who was next to him, was stimulated by fifteen francs, and the poor and frightened people were willing to work hard for one more franc.
"Really, I've inquired about the French Foreign Legion, and their daily wages are fifteen francs." Qin Zhiyuan has first-hand information.
Throughout World War I, the French Foreign Legion had six brigades totaling more than 30,000 soldiers. The First Regiment, composed of Algerians and Syrians, respectively; the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Infantry Regiments of Moroccans; the 5th Infantry Regiment of French Indochina, namely Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laotian; and the 1st Cavalry Regiment of ****** and Moroccans.
Now because of Qin Zhiyuan's arrival, perhaps the French Foreign Legion will have a first brigade or even a first division composed of Chinese. Qin Zhiyuan had enough manpower, and during the entire First World War, China sent a full 140,000 Chinese laborers to Europe, although not enough to compare with the million laborers in India, but it was enough to form a brigade or a division.
"Master Qin, count me in! No matter what you do, I'll follow you in the future! Regarding Qin Zhiyuan's decision, Chen Kangjian raised his hands and feet in agreement.
"Master Qin, count me in!"
"Master Qin, you can lead us all to do it!"
"Master Qin, we will sell you this life!"
Chen Kangjian, the successor of "Tan Leg", took the lead, and everyone responded.
"Okay, since the brothers can trust Qin, Qin will definitely help the brothers fight for the greatest interests and get the highest salary. At the beginning of the 20th century, gambling curses and swearing were still useful.
"Qin Ye rest assured!"
"Qin Ye is doing things, brothers can rest assured!"
"Master Qin, just command, with your words, the brothers in the upper sword mountain and the lower sea of fire will not blink!"
"That's it, the head has a big scar, and in another 20 years, Lao Tzu will be a good man again!"
Hearing Qin Zhiyuan's powerful oath, the Chinese workers expressed their positions one after another, officially establishing Qin Zhiyuan's dominant position.
"Master Qin, Lao Huang has no ability, only this one life, I only hope that I can follow you in this life to lead the horse and fall into the stirrup, as long as you don't dislike it, Lao Huang will sell it to you in this life." Huang Fugui lost no time in showing his loyalty, and the sooner he took refuge, the more stable his position would be.
"Okay, as long as Lao Huang is willing, our brothers will fight for a future together in this life." Now is the time when Qin Zhiyuan buys people's hearts.
"Spell out a future!" The Chinese workers shouted one after another, and the sound shook all over the wilderness.
Someone has a saying that one Chinese is a dragon, and ten China is a worm.
Qin Zhiyuan did not agree with this, when Chinese are alone, Chinese can bear hardships and stand hard work, can start a business independently, and can be called a person on people. When many Chinese are together, Chinese will also hold together, set up various "federations", various "mutual aid societies", and even build "Chinatowns" on the territory of foreigners, maintain their own independent culture and traditions, and inherit the Chinese civilization that has lasted for 5,000 years.
The reason why someone says something like that is probably because of "seeing the heart". In Su Xiaomei's words, if you have good thoughts in your heart, you will see a paradise, and if you have evil thoughts in your heart, all you see is hell.
