There is a simple house with a construction area of about 200 square meters not far from the port pier at the base of Manchester City, the exterior design of the house has the atmosphere of a bungalow in the 90s of the 20th century, and the garden is also planted with artificially planted flowers and trees, which can be seen from the neatly trimmed branches, and it should be maintained and maintained by people here regularly.

The house is surrounded by a simple fence surrounded by branches more than two meters high, and is guarded by heavily armed soldiers, which is not unfamiliar to residents of the Manchester base who pass by, because this is the border border quarantine station set up by the Ministry of Health.

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Health, all immigrants entering Manchester must be checked again at the quarantine post for major infectious diseases, including smallpox, venereal diseases, leprosy and other common infectious diseases during this period, once these diseases are introduced into Manchester City, it will be a fatal blow.

The 1,200 immigrants brought back by the Hailan were brought into this outpost by soldiers and doctors and nurses from the quarantine station of the Ministry of Health wearing white coats as soon as they got off the ship.

After all, in the concept of ancient people, there were parents who had a body and a skin, and cutting off the hair was an unfilial act and would be despised by everyone.

At the beginning, in order to persuade those Ming people on the Zhao De boat to cut their hair, it took a lot of effort to cross the crowd, and the miasma here is very strong, the weather is hot and easy to sweat, and the long hair hides dirt and dirt and is beneficial to the breeding of poisonous insects.

Now the conditions are better than at the beginning, of course, the crossing will not give up letting the immigrants cut their hair, but it is not simple to let them cut their hair, so they sent these older elders to persuade them, Xu is the immigrants have their fellow villagers, the two sides communicated in their hometown dialect, informed them of the reason for cutting their hair, and immediately agreed to cut their hair.

At this time, the male immigrants living in the epidemic prevention station had all cut off their long hair, and had been disinfected in the sulfur pool, and obtained a new set of clothes prepared for them by the executive committee.

According to the requirements of the health department, all migrants must be observed here for a month before they can enter and leave Manchester City freely, although they have been medicalized before landing on the Sea Blue, but such conservative behavior for everyone's life safety is still necessary.

Of course, in order not to let them eat and drink in vain every day, the Ministry of Culture and Education and the Ministry of Health jointly organized a group of 10 teachers, who were responsible for teaching them the language and simple writing, as well as the environmental relations of Manchester society.

In addition to these, the Ming immigrants were simply eye-opening to what they had seen and heard in the past few days, and they thought that they were going to be sold to Australia to be slaves, but they didn't expect that what was waiting for them at the port was a boat the size of a small mountain, all white, and even the refugees from some coastal fishing villages were sure that even the big treasure ship in the Yongli period was not so big.

When they got on the boat, they found that the ship was actually iron, and such a big iron ship could float on the water and not sink? Could it be that these Australians are controlling it with some kind of spell.

The surprise did not end, when everyone got on the boat, the boat started without sails, at that time everyone thought it was not strange, and even some people were more sure of their thoughts, this boat is a magic override, after all, in the history of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, there are various myths, and some people think that there are many rowers rowing there under the cabin, and all the speculation was answered when several immigrants were called to help under the cabin.

There are no oars under the cabin, there are a few people, and there are some buzzing big iron boxes, the Australians say that those big iron boxes are rowing, my mother, the big iron box will not be filled with what dragon king water demon, this Australian is really magical, not only the clothes and hair are different from the Ming Dynasty, but even the water demon that the dragon king can descend can also catch and be driven away.

"Uncle Gen, why do you say that this Australian just locked us up here, and it's the same in Naba City, and they give us good food and drink, they are not afraid of losses, this consumes so much food every day."

"Ergouzi, you don't have to worry about eating too many pickles, you have food and shelter, you don't have to work, it's not good, you still want to eat too much every day, and you have to work again." An older man beside Uncle Lao Gen replied to Ergouzi's words. And Uncle Lao Gen smoked the cigarette provided by Australia, and looked at the soldiers guarding the fence but was a little thoughtful.

"Ergou's words are good, there are no steamed buns in the world for nothing, buns, you don't want to think like this, I observed what Australians did for a few days, and there is really no malice towards us, and it is to teach us to speak Australian Mandarin, and it is literate, it will definitely not always let us eat and live in vain, maybe we will be assigned something to do in a month, but I don't know whether it is ploughing land or doing something else, no matter what we do, we don't forget the favor of others, it is not easy to have a full meal this year, and you have seen the barbarians in the port. I quietly inquired, and they don't have a daily supply of white flour rice. ”

"That is, that is, when I got off the ship, I saw a barbarian working a little slower, and he was whipped by the Australian overseer with a whip, and there was a blood mark on his body all of a sudden." Ergouzi still has some lingering palpitations when he thinks of this, and he wonders if his fate will be the same as those people.

But later it turned out that the Australians did not treat everyone like this, but gave food, shelter and new clothes, it seems that the Australians treat the Ming people with the same ancestors and roots differently.

After listening to the words of Uncle Lao Gen and Ergou, Baozi was also afraid, and he also saw the barbarian coolies in the port, and he could know by looking at the often short scars on his body that he must have been whipped.

It seems that I really can't have such an idea, people in Australia think that everyone has the same ancestors to eat and drink well, they must hope that they work hard and not be lazy, if they are lazy, maybe they will be treated the same as those barbarian coolies.

The content of the conversation between the three of them, the surrounding immigrants heard it clearly, and at this time, there were not a few people who thought the same as Baozi, and secretly made up their minds that as long as the Australian owner was assigned something to do, they would do it well, and they must not be lazy, they didn't want to be the same as those barbarians, maybe those barbarians ended up like this because of laziness.
