The next day, when Zou Kaizhi and Sherman had a formal meeting, Ye Zhao was wandering around the courtyard of the Parkview Green Hotel with Misaki, although he mixed well in Europe in his previous life, but this was the first time in his life to come to Europe and the United States, how the Western style was in the 19th century, Ye Zhao was also quite interested.

A small hotel in pure European style, although small, is fully equipped, with boiler rooms, laundry rooms, and so on.

Yesterday, the guards had already investigated the employees in the hotel, and the whole hotel, one manager, and the owner of the hotel, two employees, one man and one woman, the male worker was also a boilerman, a night watchman, and a repair handyman, etc., and the female worker was a laundryman, waiter, etc., and the whole hotel was just these three employees.

The boilermaker and the laundryman were husband and wife, and they lived in a log cabin next to the boiler room, and smoke was rising from the windows of the hut from the iron pipe chimney of the stove.

"Master, this is the Christmas tree, right?"

There is a pine tree decorated with a Christmas tree in the courtyard, which is indeed very beautiful, but in fact, it has been three or four months since Christmas, I don't know why there is a Christmas tree, and it seems that it has not been long since it was decorated.

Then, Ye Zhao saw a felt hat under the Christmas tree, with several coins in it, and a small card written in Chinese in front of the felt hat, "Blessing Tree".

Coin for blessings? Ye Zhao laughed dumbly, is this cheating Chinese money? Yankees, do business, always be so cunning.

Out of the wooden house came a young American woman, about forty years old, blonde hair and blue eyes, still charming, wearing a simple style of European dress. The skirts, lace and other styles of the working class have become more and more simple, with the prototype of dresses in later generations, and I heard that not long ago, the feminist movement broke out again in Europe and the United States, demanding the right to wear trousers with female surnames, especially in France, because France prohibits women from wearing trousers in the form of law, and the rest of the countries are mostly public opinion or employment agency regulations.

Female activists wore lipstick as a symbol of women's emancipation, because lipstick was mostly seen as a memorable item for women.

Speaking of which, the feminist movement or European female surnames were inspired by the changes in Chinese thought, in the distant and mysterious Eastern Empire, women's clothing became more and more colorful and beautiful, and the empire, which was originally the most hierarchical in clothing and even clothing colors, has now become the most liberal country in clothing, hats, shoes and socks.

Modern lipsticks also originated in China, but today they are still sold in China as "chewing balm", which is the kind of paper lipstick that adds modern elements but maintains the tradition. The popular tubular lipstick, which first appeared in China but was given a cold reception, became popular in Europe.

In fact, tradition is not so easy to change, Western journalists in China, what they see is nothing more than the changes in the big coastal cities, but in most areas of the interior of the empire, the change of ideology is very slow, and even encounters barriers, for example, not long ago, a part of the gentry of the Hubei Council proposed a bill to ban the gathering of women's groups, most of these women's groups advocate "self-improvement" and so on. Apparently, the recalcitrant squires also learned to take advantage of the increasingly relaxed political atmosphere to express their views, and of course, the bill did not get a majority of passages.

Ye Zhao felt that no one was regressive or open-minded, and this kind of confrontation was a kind of progress in itself.

"Don't put money and cheat, Mr. Slote wants to cheat you out of your money." Mrs. Fisher said to Ye Zhao with a gesture.

It has been investigated early that Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, came to San Francisco three years ago with his brother's family to pan for gold, and his family is of Swedish descent, Mr. Fisher has no children, but his younger brother Fisher Jr. has a daughter who used to study at New York Women's Medical University.

The United States had its first female doctor and the world's first women's and children's hospital ten years ago, and five years ago, New York Women's Medical University was founded.

China has followed behind, and now there are as many as five women's medical colleges in China, ranking first in the world. Hospitals have also gradually implemented separate hospitals for men and women, especially in large cities, where women's and children's hospitals have been set up, employing only female doctors and nurses, and only treating patients with female surnames.

In the West, even in the United States, where ideas are most active, there are only two women's medical schools, and the other is far inferior to the New York Women's Medical University.

I heard that Miss Fisher's grades were good, but three years ago the Fisher brothers' company went bankrupt, Miss Fisher had to drop out of school, and her uncle's family came to San Francisco to pan for gold.

However, it is clear that the Fisher family still maintains a noble and upright character, and is very dissatisfied with the cunning tricks of the innkeeper to cheat money.

Mrs. Fisher was worried that the Chinese opposite would not understand, so she took two steps, flipped her felt hat and buckled it to the ground, spread her hands, shrugged her shoulders, and made a very innocent expression.

Ye Zhao smiled, and immediately had a good impression of Mrs. Fisher, so he stammered and said in English: "Hello, my name is Wenwu." Naturally, it was deliberate, after coming to San Francisco, Ye Zhao had already changed into jeans and a jacket, which is a popular dress for coolies today, all of which are sewn from coarse cloth, but Ye Zhao's clothes will not be as dirty as coolies, but they have also been worn, and Ye Zhao's sticky beard is really no different from rough coolies.

The guards also changed into this outfit, naturally for the sake of safety, otherwise people would be rich in China at first sight, in this chaotic place, I am afraid that there will be trouble at the end of three days.

The West and the East are two worlds entirely, and in the West, because of the presence of the Indians, the Gold Diggers had a must-have weaponry, and the massacre of the Indians was not against the law, because any massacre could be used as a pretext for self-defense. From founding President Washington to former President Lincoln, they all supported the eradication of the Indians, why? It is nothing more than a battle for land space, a massacre of the aborigines by the colonizers.

Coming to this world, think about the same situation, if the Chinese land on the African continent in order to plunder resources and encounter the attack of primitive tribes, there may be only one way to slaughter.

Therefore, the history of colonization of modern civilization is bloody, but it is really boring for future generations to turn colonizers into the embodiment of justice.

But the Chinese also have to do better than the Western colonizers.

At least in Central Asia, the immigrants from the Central Plains got along well with the tribes, and of course, the civilization of the Central Asian tribes was very high, not the same as the indigenous peoples of Africa and the Americas.

Now that the area around San Francisco is in this era of massacre of Native Americans, how many law-abiding citizens can there be in the city? The Americans from the East who came to San Francisco to pan for gold were not a few thieves and robbers, and they were already lawless and reckless.

Therefore, Ye Zhao dressed himself and the guards as coolie characters, and there was a lot less trouble. And fluent English is obviously inappropriate, it is Ye Zhaocai who jumps out word by word.

In Mrs. Fisher's eyes, Ye Zhao must also be a Chinese laborer, but the little Lori Misaki wearing a cute lace maid costume is too delicate, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't match Ye Zhao's style.

Seeing Mrs. Fisher's strange look at Misaki, Ye Zhao stammered, "I, sister." For her, me, make money. ”

Mrs. Fisher suddenly couldn't help but have a good impression of this handsome Chinese laborer, she must love this sister very much, and all the hard-earned money she earned was spent on her sister, but also, whoever has such a lovely sister will be a baby.

Mrs. Fisher saw that there was no one around, and said to Ye Zhao: "I will fry pumpkin pie at night, you and your sister will eat it, don't tell your friends." Slowing down the speed of speech, Ye Zhao finally pretended to barely understand, and said repeatedly: "Thank you." ”

Misaki could understand simple English, and Mrs. Fisher finally gestured, and she understood, bowed in English, and said, "Thank you, ma'am." ”

Mrs. Fisher was surprised, stood for a moment, and then turned and went into the house.

Ye Zhao touched the beautiful white lace wrapped around Misaki's head, which is commonly known as Katyusha, and said with a smile: "I'll go out for a while, and I won't necessarily come back at night, Mingyue will accompany you, don't be afraid." ”

Misaki smiled sweetly and said, "I'm not afraid, master, I'm very bold, bigger than a scale." ”

Seeing her cute little look with her head tilted, Ye Zhao laughed, but he really wanted to kiss her, but it wasn't like that.

…… When I went to the public house tavern, more than a dozen guards were all jeans and jackets like Ye Zhao, except for Dong Haichuan and Yang Banhou, all of them had small models of six thunder cannons hanging on their waists, and even Ye Zhao had one hidden around his waist.

Zheng Aqiao wore brocade robes and became a merchant and a leader, and he was the first to bear any danger.

This is to go to the tavern to meet a local gold mine owner, and to find out the real living conditions of local Chinese laborers in the name of taking a stake in the gold mine.

In the past, the slogan was "unite with righteousness, save the country with loyalty, and eliminate annihilation with chivalry", which was actually a further step in opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zheng Aqiao did not have contact with Hongmentang, and under the same culture, it is easy to show his feet when he speaks and acts, for fear of being seen by him. It was Zheng Aqiao who introduced a white gold mine owner through a Chinese businessman who often traveled to San Francisco.

Now it's time to meet the gold miner, Mr. Hamilton.

Before starting negotiations with the Americans, Ye Zhao had to personally see the living conditions of the Chinese laborers, after all, the previous impression was hearsay and could not be used as a basis for negotiations.

After understanding the real situation, we can come up with a package to solve the labor problem in the negotiations to appease the Americans, and the new plan can be extended to all overseas workers in Australia, Nanyang, etc., so that these former "pigs" can live as individuals overseas.

This negotiation will have a far-reaching impact on the lives of overseas Chinese in future generations.

Ye Zhao has already had a preliminary plan, such as asking the United States to recognize the citizenship of Chinese workers, in fact, as long as the first generation of Chinese workers solve the citizenship problem, the next generation of Peranakans will have no problem, according to U.S. law, Peranakans born in the United States can automatically obtain U.S. citizenship.

At present, according to Article 1 of Chapter 1 "Inherent Nationality" of the Empire's Nationality Regulations: "All Zuo Listed persons, etc., are of Chinese nationality regardless of whether they were born in China or not: (1) Those who are born to Chinese fathers." (2) Those who were born after the death of their father and were Chinese at the time of their father's death. (3) The mother is Chinese and the father is untested or stateless. ”

This is a kind of descent recognition, that is, overseas Chinese are all Chinese nationality.

The empire implemented conditional recognition of dual nationality on the issue of nationality, such as the current first generation of overseas Chinese laborers, Ye Zhao is ready to recognize their Chinese nationality, and does not object to their acquisition of nationality status in the country of residence, but will not cite this example in the future.

Citizens who automatically acquire the citizenship of other countries will be conditionally recognized by China as dual nationality, and one of the most basic requirements is that they must file a tax return with the Chinese government and tax department and bear the obligation to pay taxes as citizens of the empire, so that they can be recognized by the laws of the empire. Nationals who voluntarily apply for naturalization as citizens of other countries may lose their Imperial citizenship.

Because taking the initiative to apply for naturalization as a citizen of another country is not the same as automatically obtaining it, taking the initiative to apply for naturalization of another country, many times you have to take an oath, and if the content of the oath is contrary to the laws of the empire, then you will lose your Chinese nationality.

So some things are not tolerant, Ye Zhao definitely does not want a person who swears allegiance to a foreign flag still has Chinese nationality, and there is no way to help the first generation of Chinese laborers fight for their rights, but he will not make it a regular rule.

The tavern with its English letter sign was filled with smoke and foul language, and the whole tavern seemed to be floating with foul air.

On the table by the window, there sat a few stout cowboys in felt hats, muscular knotted arms, exaggerated long-barreled wheels hanging from their waists, and black shiny leather boots, exuding a rugged atmosphere everywhere. No matter how much the guests in the bar drink, they will stay away.

Ye Zhao and the others found a table and sat down, the guards were very nervous, looking around, Ye Zhao lit a cigarette comfortably, in the capital, this body is idle and soft, and when he came to the United States, he had the feeling of freedom in later generations.

Turning his head and looking around, it was obvious that this was a bar, and it was also a museum, some tables, the girl with heavy makeup was flirting with the drinkers, and there was even a black girl sitting on the legs of a gold-panning cowboy who was like a mountain, and the two fought unscrupulously, the tables and chairs were banging, and it was getting more and more intense, it was really a chaotic world.

There was a burst of laughter, the wind chimes rang at the door of the store, and a fat and terrible middle-aged white man walked in, although he was laughing, his eyes were extremely cold, and the whole person was like a wild boar, a disgusting ferocity.

Zheng Aqiao stood up and hugged him, it seemed that Mr. Wild Boar was the gold mine owner Hamilton, and behind Hamilton, there were two big men with black hair on their chests, which reminded Ye Zhao of Misaki's high theory about goose down quilts, and almost laughed.

Zheng Aqiao is extremely efficient, and he has already met with Mr. Wild Boar last night to discuss it, and he will go to his mining area to have a look today.

Mr. Wild Boar's gold mining area is not far from San Francisco, it is one of the first gold mining areas to be discovered, and now the golden sands have gradually dried up, and the Indians in that area have long disappeared, it is a very safe area, which is why Zheng Aqiao chose it.

Mr. Wild Boar's eyes swept over, and the cowboy and the black girl who were performing a hot reality show stopped moving, and the gold rush cowboy quickly stood up, pulled up his pants, and his face turned white with fright, it seems that Mr. Wild Boar is very famous in San Francisco, or rather, notorious.

The proprietress who was wearing a low-cut dress and exposed most of her snow-white breasts rubbed up charmingly, and it could be seen that there was still a trace of fear in her eyes.

Mr. Boar grabbed the proprietress the breasts and laughed, "Your pretty daughter, where is my cat?" ”

The proprietress showed a slight pain on her face, obviously scratched, but she smiled flatteringly: "I'll help you call her out." ”

Mr. Wild Boar smiled at Zheng Aqiao and said, "Please take a seat, my distinguished guest from the East." ”

The interpreter is also a guard, and the conversation between Mr. Wild Boar and the proprietress is whispered to Zheng Aqiao.

Not long after Mr. Boar and Zheng Aqiao sat down, they suddenly stared at the bar and laughed again, "My baby, you are getting more and more beautiful." "In my eyes, it's all **naked**.

Ye Zhao looked at it, but was blocked by his big head, and when a face with a cold surname suddenly met Ye Zhao's eyes, it was like the first shot of the goddess of the screen, which was unbelievably amazing.

Ye Zhao suddenly remembered a name, "Grethai? Garbo", many people think that the most beautiful screen star of all time is Audrey? Hepburn, but Ye Zhao's favorite is Garbo.

Hepburn is as beautiful as an angel, but it is by no means as fatal to men as the mysterious and glamorous Garbo, and all the directors and photographers who have worked with Garbo say that she is the Renaissance goddess of their dreams, saying that she has the most beautiful eyes in the past and the future.

And the girl in front of her seems to be more fatal and seductive than Garbo, and the short golden hair with a delicate surname has a charming fluffiness, and it is also the hairstyle preferred by the blonde beauties of later generations to interpret the noble surname of the woman countless times. For the first time, I saw the beauty of a woman's eyebrow bones, with thin curved eyebrows, scraped to reveal shiny eyebrow bones, like jewels worn on the eyes; The eyes are hazy, sleepy, and the eyes are ice blue, which is shocking or shocking.

Mr. Wild Boar gasped for a while, as if he had just been freed from the suffocating intoxication, and said to Zheng Aqiao with a bright face: "Mr. Zheng, this is my fiancée." ”

"Garbo" didn't look at Zheng Aqiao, saw Mr. Wild Boar pull out the seat attentively, and said coldly: "I don't want to sit next to you." ”

Mr. Wild Boar was obviously a little afraid of her, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you choose." ”

Garbo's ice-blue eyes glanced at the people on the table, and suddenly pointed at Ye Zhao and said, "I'll sit next to him." ”

Mr. Wild Boar hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, you can sit wherever you want." ”

Zheng Aqiao coughed dryly, and said in his heart that the master is the master, and he still has great charm even if he is stained with a beard.

Garbo came to Ye Zhao's side, Mr. Wild Boar followed upside down, and took her fur coat off diligently, and then saw Mr. Wild Boar stunned, but shook his head again, his face full of helplessness.

It's no wonder that Mr. Wild Boar was stunned, but he saw that under the blue-eyed beauty fur coat, he was wearing a low-cut and backless surname dress skirt, the snow-white and attractive fragrant shoulders and jade arms were completely exposed, and the deep cleavage was clearly visible, although it was open, it was nothing, but the hem of the skirt was not a long skirt in the style of a dress, the skirt was only knee-length, revealing attractive black stockings and small black leather boots full of lace-up ankles.

Nowadays, the clothing of women with surnames in the West is still conservative, and the feminist movement has just emerged.

But obviously, Mr. Wild Boar had nothing to do with his fiancée, shook his head, and walked away helplessly.

In fact, Ye Zhaozi could also see that from Mr. Wild Boar's attitude towards his "mother-in-law", he vigorously grabbed his mother-in-law's chest with his hand, and his mother-in-law looked even more scared, and knew that this marriage was forced to be made without asking. However, Mr. Boar seems to be very fond of his fiancée, otherwise such a strong and rude gold mine owner who is quite powerful in the local area would not be so low.

When Ye Zhao was pondering, the blue-eyed beauty looked at him coldly and said, "Chinese, welcome to the death zone." ”

Ye Zhao smiled and pretended not to understand.

Over there, Mr. Boar and Zheng Aqiao discussed in a low voice, Garbo took out a long lady's cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and gently sprayed at Ye Zhao with a puff of smoke, her eyes were slanted, a little unfocused, but it was nothing more than a hook, her bright red lips were closed, and she smiled slightly, but there was no trace of happiness.

Ye Zhao snuffed out the cigarette butt, it is undeniable that the Oriental female surname pays attention to the subtle beauty, while the body language of the Western woman is richer, the glamorous stunner in front of her, the eyes, mouth shape, fingering, gait, etc. are all different languages, and every move has an indescribable provocative meaning.

In the silent film era, Westerners' performances prevailed, right?

Ye Zhao thought of the domestic film research and development studio, and he didn't know how it was going, it seems that there has been a continuous photography active negative camera, which is the predecessor of real film image screen projection, but there is still a long way to go before the birth of film, right?

Ye Zhao actually doesn't care much about movies, domestic laboratories, now he is most concerned about the radio field, Ye Zhao put forward the theory of the existence of ionosphere in the air so that the scientists in the laboratory have strengthened the confidence that radio can travel long distances, because according to the original theory, radio waves travel in a straight line, and because the earth is round, so at a long distance, radio waves will eventually shoot into the sky, and it is impossible to be received by long-distance transceiver stations, Ye Zhao proposed the theory of ionosphere and was verified, This has greatly accelerated the efficiency of research in the field of radio, at least without having to argue all day about whether it can be successful or not.

If radio is born, it will bring about an unprecedented revolution in the theory of military strategy and tactics.

Ye Zhao was thinking about domestic affairs, and Mr. Wild Boar's laughter came, which woke him up, and saw that Mr. Wild Boar was hugging Zheng Aqiao, thinking that he was talking.

Outside the tavern, there was a long convoy of carriages, as many as twenty or thirty cars, and the Chinese with rifles on their backs got into the carriages one by one, they were marines, and they did not come to the United States this time to show off their strength, nor did they have any combat missions, and the 200 sailor riflemen accompanying them were actually to protect Ye Zhao.

This time I went to the gold mining area, although it was a mining area near the city center, and I would not meet the Indians, but after all, I was dealing with a privately armed gold mine owner like Hamilton, and Zheng Aqiao had already mobilized 100 infantry and changed into civilian clothes to follow, thinking that as long as I did not encounter the regular US troops, there was no armed force in the San Francisco area that could threaten this mixed force composed of marines and internal guards.

Hamilton was stunned when he saw this scene, and when the American sheriff came to interrogate, Zheng Aqiao took out the temporary gun permit issued by the San Francisco City Hall to enter the Chinese, and Hamilton laughed even more, patted Zheng Aqiao's hand and said: "It seems that we will cooperate very happily." ”

Thinking of seeing this formation, even if Hamilton had any small calculations, he would have put it away a long time ago.

The blue-eyed beauty didn't seem to care about the things around her, put her fur coat on her arm, and before getting into her wooden carriage, she pointed at Ye Zhao and said, "You get into my car." ”

Hamilton's eyes were slightly gloomy, but he endured it and didn't have a seizure, looked at Ye Zhao gloomily, and said to Zheng Aqiao, hoping that Mr. Wen could ride in a car with his fiancée Christina.

This is exactly what Zheng Aqiao wanted, otherwise it would be really difficult to find an excuse to protect Ye Zhao, so he agreed with a smile at the moment, and the carriage called Christina followed him and Hamilton's carriage and walked in the middle of the convoy, and the infantry carriage surrounded the front and rear, and Hamilton naturally called it good.

The stone road is bumpy, the carriage is swaying, Ye Zhao closes his eyes and recuperates, the nose is lightly fragrant, and he is in the same car with his dream lover "Garbo", but Ye Zhao is like an old monk, he will never look at her, and his heart says that he is red-faced and troubled, this is really true, I don't know what she wants, isn't this ready to kill herself? If he were an ordinary Chinese miner, he would only die at the hands of Hamilton sooner or later.

Suddenly moved lightly on his legs, Ye Zhao opened his eyes, and was immediately stunned, the bony jade feet wrapped in black stockings stepped on his thighs, and he could vaguely see the five purple temptations like small petals, and when he turned his head to look, he was even more stunned, this action made the blue-eyed beauty's skirt slide to the root of the legs, revealing a pink bow tied to the cuff of black stockings, and now stockings are easy to slip off, so they should be reinforced with suspenders or tied directly to the root of the legs, but for men, this is a fatal temptation.

After the pink bow in black stockings, her white and tender beautiful legs and legs were faintly visible, Christina leaned over, her smooth and slender fingers gently crossed Ye Zhao's face, holding up Ye Zhao's chin, her ice blue eyes were full of provocativeness, and her bright red lips were so seductive and delicate, making people want to suck on it.

"The Chinese laborer he despises the most sleeps with me, you say, will he kill me? As for you, you will also be tortured to death by him, will you hate me? ”

Ye Zhao immediately poured a scoop of cold water, and it was estimated that he was not very attractive, it was this madman who chose randomly, and most of them still saw that he was not pleasing to the eye, so he pulled himself back.

Looking at her with a charming smile on her face, full of teasing, but speaking coldly and coldly, she thought she couldn't understand, to be honest, if she didn't understand, most of them thought she was talking about something provocative.

(To be continued)
