Volume IV Boom 69 Greenskins

On the outskirts of Medan are large farms that have been newly reclaimed in recent years, attracting a large number of Chinese farmers to settle down.

The tobacco cultivation in Medan is very developed, and the Meihua Reclamation Company has a continuous tobacco garden in the Minli area, with green tobacco seedlings in sight, and there is no end in sight.

In those green forests, sweaty yellow faces are active. They are all recruited by the Meihua Company from the coastal areas of southern China, and they have come to this strange land across the ocean to win a chance for survival and development with their sweat.

Three years ago, it was a barren place, and Meihua paid $80,000 to buy it. Three years later, after Chinese workers cultivated and planted, a 1 million mu plantation took shape, and 3,000 Chinese laborers were employed.

Almost every year, each worker has to cultivate 300 acres of tobacco fields and plant 15,000 tobacco seedlings. Heavy tasks have forced the farm to add a lot of machines.

The roaring, spitting smoke of the steam tractor began to scare the simple workers, and some people even said that the monster could suck people's yang energy, otherwise where would it be so powerful?

I don't know who said this.

When the nth rumor spreader was about to upgrade the n+1 rumor of the steel monster sucking people's yang energy, he was caught and forced to work as an assistant to the driver he had "hurt" on the passenger seat of the tractor.

Practice proved that the tractor did not absorb his yang energy, because the twenty-ton steam tractor could plow the solid ground without much effort, and that great power was not something that one person's yang energy could provide.

His yang energy was not sucked away, but he was shocked by the power of the machine, which led to a strong interest, and he relied on learning to drive the "iron bull" with the driver.

What is enviable is that three months later, he officially left the school, and when a new iron ox came to the farm, he became the second batch of drivers, with a monthly salary of 10 yuan.

Every time he sat on the tractor and looked at the workers next to him who were plowing tobacco seedlings with hoes, he would always feel very proud, while the fellow villagers on the side looked at the former unlucky man with almost jealous eyes, and complained a little in his heart, why wasn't he caught on the iron bull in the first place?

Get to work!

A farm foreman not far away climbed onto the tractor and whistled vigorously to summon his workers to assemble.

The last time there was a loud whistle in the field, countless workers came out of the dense crops, they were sweating profusely, their hard-wearing denim was wet with sweat, and there was no telling discomfort.

Hearing a similar whistle at sunrise every day kills them, and the evening whistle is as beautiful as music, relieving them all.

They consciously assembled, lined up, and waited for the foremen, whom they envied and feared, to take them back.

Well, that's the Lower South Seas!

The heat is hot, the long hours of labor, every second is squandering people's lives, and all the heavy efforts are just to fight for a chance to survive.

Didi –

The foremen whistled vigorously with stern eyes, hoping to arouse a little spirit of the tired workers.

Of course, corporal punishment of a worker is not permissible, unless the foreman is willing to abandon his position and toil as hard as the illiterate workers.

More often, they express the hard work and vicissitudes of the workers' hearts with a mountain song that has been sung for I don't know how many years-

"Brother went out to the South Seas to cross the ocean to a foreign country. I wish my brother to take care of his health, and return to his hometown with good health, and people will fight for breath and incense?????? ”

In the vicissitudes of life, the voice resounded through the countryside, expressing the concern in the hearts of the wanderers outside and the belief in getting ahead.

"Do you know how many people in Tangshan want to go abroad? Work hard, and the boss doesn't get a penny from you. Ploughing the field is a skill, literacy is also a skill, driving a tractor is also a skill, you have to learn the ability by heart, people earn two or three yuan, you earn five yuan and ten yuan, work hard for three or five years, the field, cattle, wife and children will have! ”

After the workers express their homesickness, the foremen instill the belief of "working hard and learning to make money" to the workers in a timely manner, and use the most practical truth to inspire the workers who have not received much education to move closer to the company.

Is it because Meihua Company sent them money? Who is the company loyal to if it is not loyal to Meihua?

The foremen of Meihua Farm have no financial rights, and the wages of the workers do not pass through their hands, but they are still much higher than ordinary workers.

They arrange their labor according to the rules of the farm, and some of them are similar to workshop supervisors. In addition to supervising the production of workers, they also attend regular training to learn how to manage a modern farm.

Literacy and education have become the biggest capital of farm competition, and some of the best foremen have been sent to the newly opened farms to become new farm managers.

Perhaps the word "nomenchand" is not appropriate, and managers should be called better. Cultivating a group of capable and skilled foremen is a major task of Meihua Company, who must not only learn farm production management, but also be required to learn how to organize workers to participate in training, strictly abide by discipline, obey commands, and become qualified reserve soldiers.

In this land close to the equator, there is never a shortage of sunshine, and it is early summer, and the sun does not set until almost eight o'clock every day.

Every day after work, workers gather in twos and threes, mixed with accents from all over the world, and happily share the ambiguous jokes that have been told countless times.

In the monotonous and busy work, the yellow jokes circulated among men have become the best spice in the lives of these hard-to-leak men.

Recreation on the farms was healthy, the workers were strictly regulated, and gambling was once prevalent among the Chinese workers, and big smoke was absolutely not allowed here.

There used to be private parties that sold large cigarettes to workers near farms, and opened casinos to attract these single, lonely workers with a few dollars in their hands.

The result was miserable, and the consequences were severe.

The owner of the casino and the owner of the tobacco house were hanged in public at the gate of the farm, and the minions who aided the abuse and the workers who did not listen to the advice were sent to the mine.

Meihua Company sued everyone with iron-blooded facts, and they are the law here. The left hand is a merciful and just treatment, the right hand is a cruel and cruel punishment, and the use of heavy canons to correct the traditional bad habits of the Nanyang Chinese workers is of course very effective??????

Soon after dinner, the sky in Medan was bright, and the workers who had just come out of the cafeteria had a rare relaxation.

"Tonight's meat is good, a lot of oil."

"Yes! I heard it was fish. Whales caught from the sea, dozens of tons each! ”

A man who was flossing his teeth touched the oil at the corner of his mouth with satisfaction, Nunu mouthed, and was about to spit out the used toothpick, but when he saw the patrol coming not far away, he immediately swallowed it back, walked ten meters away, and put the small toothpick in the trash can, looking like there were indescribable rules.

"Damn, these greenskins are so annoying!" He whispered to the patrol that was far away.

"Huh. Liu Qi, you also listened to what I said last time, and told you that the rules here are big, don't mess with the garbage, and the result is good, and he was fined for sweeping the land for a month. Tsk, our compound is often cleaned and looks more comfortable. ”

An older worker teased. With a look of satisfaction written on his face while holding a cigarette, he carefully took away the ash and cigarette butts after smoking.

Liu Qi has nothing to say about his work, but he is usually a little informal. However, after the remediation of some green skins, it became obedient. Well, the greenskins are the security guards.

Whether it is the South China Army or the security team of the farm company, the uniforms they wear are green simple camouflage uniforms, so they are also called green skins.

"Take. Those green-skinned tmd are ruthless, and last time they deducted a piece of our ocean at once, and used it to add vegetables to you bastards! Giving Lao Tzu's hard-earned money as favors really me off. Liu Qirou said tightly.

"What? Defy? Why don't you go and practice with them? A worker next to him instigated.

"Go, go, go! Doesn't Lao Tzu have the same knowledge as them? My master explained that those who learn martial arts pay attention to convincing people with virtue and do not let cause trouble. Liu Qidao looked magnanimous.

"Stop blowing! Those green-skinned kung fu are not easy to mess with, and as far as your three-legged cat kung fu is concerned, the three of them are not opponents combined. "Someone pierced Liu Qi's cowhide.

This made the workers laugh, and they laughed with a hint of vigilance, and secretly warned themselves not to run into the hands of those green skins.

On farms, companies, and mines, in the eyes of the workers, the greenskins were Hades, and their sticks and fines helped these vulgar workers learn to queue up and develop strict hygiene habits.

Almost everyone has been whipped on the head by those greenskinned leather whips, so their attitude towards the greenskins is one of awe. Generally speaking, the deducted wages are used to increase various benefits, such as vegetable money or other public facilities, and those who have been fined generally do not dare to commit it again.

"Speaking of which, the green skin is also fair, although the penalty is heavy, but all the numbers are publicly listed, reasonable, and have never been greedy for a penny, which is convincing."

Lao Qi couldn't help but praise again, every time he mentioned being punished, he felt that it was an honor many times. At least he's famous.

"That's right. Much better than my former landlord in my hometown. The days are a little hard, but there are three or four oceans every month, and in addition to some of them sent home, there are still a lot of things left in my hands. ”

"Yes! Those natives outside don't know how to farm, and they waste those good lands in vain. The land here is cheap, and I thought that I would save enough money to buy twenty or thirty acres of land in two more years. When the time comes, I will stop doing it and take the family over. Someone thought to himself.

His words struck the hearts of the people, and some of the workers in the early years were either farm foremen or bought land outside, and took over all the people from the village at home.

Seeds and fertilizer tools can be rented by the company, and then sold to the company after the harvest, and every year you can make a lot of money in your hands, build a new house, marry a wife and have a baby, and live a happy life.

From time to time, these advanced deeds were used by the farm to educate the new workers, and everyone had heard them countless times, but every time they heard them, their hearts were filled with hope.

After a while, someone asked again, "What do you say about the black dog?" I haven't seen him come back to see us lately! ”

"Yes! That *** guy, good luck! Some envy.

The strict management of the farm aroused the dissatisfaction of some workers, and when they first arrived, some people even started with the security guards of the farm.

The black dog was one of them, and he did a good job of knocking down five or six security guards, but when he faced the last security chief, he was taught a bad lesson!

It wasn't that it was seriously injured, but it was put down by someone with two moves, which hurt the self-esteem of the martial arts genius. Unconvinced, the black dog got up, and the next few encounters were the same, and he was played as a monkey by the green-skinned leader.

But in the following days, the stubborn black dog still ran to challenge the green skin, and almost every time he came back, his nose was blue and his face was swollen. However, his perseverance has also won the respect of everyone.

Soon after, the black dog also handed in good luck, and was hired by the green-skinned man, and came back a few days later, with a green-skinned body and an indescribable spirit.

He also said proudly that the lowest green skin salary is 5 yuan a month, as well as various benefits, as if the money is divided into land or something.

The new green skin of the black dog is not too clear, but it is much better than the treatment of two yuan for new workers and three or four yuan for skilled workers, which is enviable.

Three months ago, when the black dog came back from vacation to visit his co-workers, the situation was a different story.

He vomited bitterness, saying that those green skins tossed people very hard, and trained them to death.

Most people want to fall down and sleep after training, although they prepare big fish and meat very carefully, but no one is in the mood to eat, or they can't lift their arms. However, the elimination of rations of food is also a task and has to be eaten.

"For months, both the brain and the body were numb and painful almost every day." This is the black dog's statement, but he refuses to say more about the details of training, only saying that every penny is a penny, and the green skin's money is not easy to get!

Well, after training, his salary has risen to 15 oceans, which is much higher than those ordinary green skins.

The story became a legend among the workers, and the greenskin he had recruited disappeared after only a brief appearance on the farm, but everyone agreed that the black dog had good luck.

Time passed quickly after dinner, and before I knew it, it was seven o'clock.

"Dididi"

The foreman is blowing the whistle again.

The workers immediately walked into the cafeteria not far away, and sat upright in an orderly manner, and the table in front of them had been cleaned.

As usual, the part-time supervisor of the foreman commented on the day's work and then spent another half an hour teaching them, the content of which was simply to teach the illiterate workers a few words a day.

After a long time, the average worker can also write a few sentences, such as how much money was sent, farm work is hard, the pay is good, don't worry, etc.

A letter from home was the only way for them to communicate with their relatives in Tangshan, and these distorted words were delivered to their hometown, and their relatives were very proud of them.

Especially the young lads, they fulfilled their wish to go to school again on the farm, without big smoke, gambling, and after returning to work, literacy became their greatest pleasure.

Some clever fellows have read through the newspapers written and printed by the farm foremen, telling the truths of loyalty, filial piety, and shame. Of course, the proletariat is absolutely harmonious.

The most important thing for the workers here is to use the income of their labor to buy land and become landlords. In a closed environment, they were pure, unpolluted, and certainly did not know that in the city, where the sky had changed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is something to announce today. From tomorrow, each production team will work for half a day and train for half a day. Morning and afternoon alternates. ”

The farm manager's words aroused discussion among the workers, and he solemnly pressed his hand in the air, and said: "At the same time, there is also good news that the security team has recruited people, as long as they pass the guò assessment, there are as many recruits." I know many of you have been envious of this green skin for a long time, and now your chance has come. ”

After speaking, the farm manager patted the green training uniform on his body proudly.
