Chapter 133: Elements (First Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
On the sea, a sailboat was spewing soot toward the port of Incheon, and the deck of the steamboat was crowded with women, children, and of course, many young laborers, and as the crew told them that they would soon arrive in Incheon, they all stood on the deck, gazing at the looming mountains.

In the past year, North Korea seems to have become an extremely "popular" word in places like the Shandong Peninsula and northern Jiangsu, where it means opportunity, means life, and is even widely accepted as a social custom. It is different from the peasants who "broke through the Kanto" that were prevalent in the land of Shandong in the past, pushing carts and carrying burdens, and walking towards the Kanto region with their own legs. The only way to get to Korea is to go to North Korea by water, to the port and take iron-hulled ships to North Korea, and the reason why people are attracted to it is not that North Korea has endless fertile land like Kwantung, but because North Korea has a much higher income than Kwantung - at least a few taels of silver a month.
Moreover, compared to the bearded Kanto, the North Korean side is governed by the government, so there is no need to worry about bandits. Not only that, the North Korean side also welcomes the people to drag their children and daughters, that is, the girls work in the yarn factory, and they can earn a few taels of silver a month, in short, in the word of mouth, this North Korea seems to have become a land of gold, as long as you are diligent enough, you will soon be able to live a good life that even the old wealth in the countryside can not catch up.
Of course, everything is passed on by word of mouth, and no one knows what kind of place it is, as for what is passed down from those mouths, "When you go there, you are all the superior people of the Heavenly Empire, and the Koreans have to bow when they see our masters", what "you can earn a few taels or even dozens of taels of silver a month" and so on, all of which are passed down by the villagers, at most they just say that the people of that village said in the letters written back. He swore that he was talking about something. I don't know how many people have taken their mother-in-law, sons and daughters.
"His father. It's almost there! ”
The woman in the cotton robe by the side of the boat looked at the sea, and after two days at sea, she no longer dared to even come to the side of the boat, as she had done when she first got on the boat, and she dared to look at the sea.
"It's coming, it's coming soon......"
Looking at the mountains looming in the distance, Zhao Xing muttered, he couldn't get by in his hometown in northern Anhui, so he took his mother-in-law and son all the way to Shandong. Originally, he was thinking about going to Kanto, but he begged for food in that place in Kanto, but he had to rely on his fellow villagers and friends, so what kind of folks and friends could he have, and when he went to Kanto, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to carry the work of a long-term worker, and maybe he would be robbed by bandits.
When he learned about North Korea, he made up his mind to go there, at least there, without relying on any fellow countrymen and friends, and all the work was sent by some company. It seems that it was set up by the general supervision office, and it can even be assigned a house.
The government can believe it or not. He didn't know, but he knew that at least compared to the villagers and friends who didn't even have a shadow, the government was more credible, at least the government wouldn't kill men and sell women to kilns like bandits.
Of course, more importantly, the deed written in black and white says that the ticket is issued by the company, and when you get there, you only need to work for the company for a few months, and the job will include food and accommodation.
Honk......
With a long whistle, the ship began to dock at the port, and Zhao Xing could see from the boat that the wharf that the ship was leaning at was not big, similar to the wharf in Shandong, and on the hillside behind the wharf, rows of small houses could be seen.
As soon as the ship docked in port, the sailing people who had been looking forward to stepping back on land stepped on the gangplank and disembarked, but no one noticed that among the group there were also several sailors carrying boxes, and after the boxes in the sailors' hands were taken down on the trestle, the sailors quickly boarded the ship.
The faces of the people on the trestle were full of anticipation for the future, but to their surprise, they had just stepped off the shore, and they were greeted by a dismount - officers and soldiers wearing black coats and carrying guns on their backs, looking at the unkempt crowd, they rushed over, and from time to time they smoked the people who were talking with the bamboo sticks in their hands, and shouted in their mouths.
"Sharp, line, line, unkempt, what it looks like!"
"Hey, boy, don't clean up!"
"Why, stand ......"
The bamboo strips that fall on the head will not break the head, but it can make people cry out in pain, and if anyone resists, the officers and soldiers will smash it with foreign guns, without a trace of politeness at all. Even if some women who shouted that they were coming to find their own man, when they wanted to shout and scold, the butt of the bamboo gun was unceremoniously hit.
"Master Jun, Master Jun, I'm standing, I'm standing up......"
Looking at the officers and soldiers who came over, Zhao Xing nervously pulled his daughter-in-law to stand, for fear that he would also be beaten, which would make him even regret it, this should not be a land for selling people! But fortunately, the officer and soldier just glanced at him and shouted.
"Stand up, there must be a standing statue at the special station, nodding and waisting, with a servile face!"
The officer and soldier cursed, and then patrolled the crowd, and if they couldn't open their eyes, the bamboo strips would be aimed at the heads of the people, and they would be very unreasonable to these unreasonable fellows, even the women who had been very spicy on the boat before, they would all be soft, for fear of being beaten badly, and they would not be reasonable.
"Don't worry, big guy!"
Just when everyone was in a state of uneasiness, a man in a tweed coat stood on a wooden platform and shouted loudly.
"I can't sell you, I won't sell you, the big guys are all Chinese, how can they deceive you!"
Obviously, the person on the stage seemed to be blinking on a nonsense talk, didn't he just bullied someone, just like a woman over there was smashed five or six times by a foreign gun, if it weren't for the officers and soldiers
"As for this beating, it's not called fighting! It's called memory! ”
The people on the stage had a smile on their faces, but there was no trace of politeness in their words.
"What is this place? It's North Korea, North Korea is our China's vassal country, we are here, we are the people of the Celestial Empire, every move is the dignity of the Celestial Empire, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you are there like a shrew scolding the street, then it is not your people who are lost, it is our Chinese people, this lesson is for me, in the Special Administrative Region, in North Korea, you are the people of the Celestial Empire, the North Korean government can't govern you, but don't forget the law, don't forget that there is a police station that can handle you, as for any spicy, put it away for me...... ”
As he spoke, the man still looked at a woman covered in dust, and the woman who had been playing tricks before was glanced at and immediately shrank back timidly.
"Put aside our China, that shrew also has to be repaired, if you lose the dignity of the country, you and the men of your family will get out......"
Whether it is threats or persecution, even Zhao Xing has to admit that this "lesson" does have some effect, and on the originally unkempt market-like field, everyone did not even dare to come out with the atmosphere, and even when they looked at the officers and soldiers in black clothes, there was a little awe in their eyes.
Everything seems to be simpler next, queuing up, getting number plates, and when queuing, those people will sprinkle choking white faces on their heads, faces, and clothes, saying that they want to kill some lice.
"When I entered the dormitory, I immediately put away my luggage, went to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, and if I checked my body for lice in the future, I would be punished for hard labor......
"The hygiene of the dormitory should be maintained, the beds should be kept neat and clean every day, and the clothes on the body should be covered with putty, so why don't you ......change them."
As the sound of an unceremonious lesson sounded in the playground, a captain walked up to the officer who had reprimanded the crowd and looked at the beaten mainlanders with bruised noses and swollen faces.
"Sheriff Xu, you're ruthless enough to kill!"
The captain had a sincere look on his face, but the officer had a grim smile on his face.
"How to establish authority without killing the police, not to let them look at the police uniform and be afraid, and then when they arrive at the residential area, how do the health police inspect and supervise, besides, this training for new immigrants is only fifteen days, fifteen days to develop a habit, what does it depend on? Can you shout on your lips? Therefore, you have to rely on bamboo strips, rely on the butts of guns, hit them, and constantly strengthen them, so that you can form habits. If we can't get into the habit, how can those North Koreans who live like pigs in a pig's nest envy us! ”
With the development of the Special Administrative Region, the influx of a large number of domestic immigrants has also brought many new problems, especially many people have brought some domestic vices to the Special Administrative Region, so that the police are completely tired of coping, and it is for this reason that in order to "maintain the dignity of the country", strict training for new immigrants began to be carried out on this small island in the sea, where through the continuous reinforcement and repetition of daily life, these new immigrants can develop good living and hygiene habits. This ensures that the Chinese are "superior" to the Koreans in all aspects, and on the other hand, this can even distinguish China from the Qing state.
"Hey, these people really have to educate and educate well, and in the past few days, my boat has been like a pig'......s nest."
"Don't be,"
The captain's words were not exchanged for the sheriff's answer, but in exchange for a harsh speech.
"Your ship is like a pig's nest, I tell you, if it'......"
"Ouch, Sheriff Xu, look at what you said, the cleans that I didn't let people clean that time were almost the same as those licked by dogs, and what you saw was not the ...... left by these people."
While defending himself, the captain lowered his voice and said.
"This time, there are a total of ten boxes, all of which have been left at the old location, and they will be ......"
"I see!"
Sheriff Xu glanced nervously left and right, and then whispered.
"The supply ship will come over tomorrow, and when the time comes, let them go directly to the small dock to pick up the goods, now the wind is a little tight, tell your boss, in the future, if this goods still want to go from me, I want two and a half parts!"
