The year 1856 came in 1856, and the small mines in the mountains, dozens of miles north of Santa Fe, were still doing whatever they had to do.

This is very strange, because logically speaking, it is already winter, so although in terms of latitude, this mining area is relatively southern, but it is also in the northern hemisphere, from the perspective of time, it is winter, deep winter.

However, the weather has not changed much, except that the wind is a little stronger, it is colder, the leaves of the trees on the mountain have turned yellow, and as for the rest, it is no different from before. The weather hasn't changed much, so the people who live here don't need to change much.

"Students, when I told you about the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings today, you must remember the most important sentence, that is, 'The prince will have a kind of Xiangning'! This sentence, you go back and tell your parents, relatives and friends, the story here, hehehe, it's enough for you to show off......"

Li Mengyang has not changed much, he is still engaged in the promising profession of 'translator', and at the same time he is also a teacher and principal of the mining school...... Well, obviously, this is all the official title he gave himself, but this 'prince will Xiangning have a kind of', hehehe, Li Mengyang, this guy has deep intentions.

"Li Tou, my mother asked me to tell you that there is a fish stew at home, don't be late, otherwise, hehehe......" The little third son is still so naughty, he and Li Mengyang are not outside.

"Don't worry, mine is indispensable!" Li Mengyang rubbed Xiao Shanzi's head.

"Oops, it's stupid!" The kid said that, and then ran away giggling.

That fish was caught by Li Mengyang in his spare time, and now his status is more transcendent, not only the head of the Chinese workers, but also teaches them to read and write, so naturally, Li Mengyang has the most time, so he doesn't have a side job, and he's too sorry for himself, right?

However, this side hustle is somewhat helpless, because the mine is now more picky, the rations are getting less and less, and everyone gets just a little bit, and everyone is scolding their mothers.

I heard that it was because Jack's bastard found another pussy in Santa Fe, and this guy pumped harder. Of course, there are also those who say that the mine owners seem to have lost money.

Fortunately, there are some miners who earn wages, so that they can use the money to buy some food, and sometimes everyone goes out to do something to trade with each other, and they maintain it tightly, and finally no one starves to death.

Li Mengyang cleaned up his things, and then walked around the mining area, to say that the location of this silver mine is not bad, between the two mountains, the scenery is still worth seeing, but Li Mengyang doesn't seem to be looking at the scenery.

I saw him walk for a while, then take a good look around, seem to confirm it, and then go to a cave!

This is not a natural cave, but a mine cave, but it is abandoned, and after Li Mengyang walked in, he quickly came to a bright place.

"Hah! Our Mr. Eastwood is finally here. ”

"This kid can't have fallen into that girl's crotch, right?"

"Hahaha......"

The place was like a room, with a few torches providing light, and it was a group of Irish people who were laughing at Li Mengyang, and Matthew McConaughey was in the middle of it.

"Okay, this guy is finally here, let's get down to business!"

Anyway, Matthew's mention is very good, and Li Mengyang also wants to explain why he came late, just for safety, but ......

"Hey! Mr. McConaughey, you see, this is not your say! ”

A big man bared his teeth and sarcastically said to Matthew, this guy is not easy to mess with at first glance.

"......" Matthew's face was not good, but before he could speak, Li Mengyang spoke first.

"Are we going to go on strike?"

Strike? Why did you suddenly do this?

Almost two months ago, it was the time when Li Mengyang and Xiaoshanzi went fishing and then Matthew came to look for him, Matthew not only said that he could understand some Chinese words, which startled Li Mengyang, but he also said some specific things.

Actually, it's normal for Matthew to understand Chinese, a guy who has sold himself three times must have a lot of opportunities to contact Chinese workers, although everyone despises each other, but they also have to communicate with each other, so Li Mengyang scolded him secretly, and Matthew can naturally understand, but he is forbearing...... That definitely had a purpose.

This purpose is actually to hope to communicate more with Chinese workers!

Why communicate?

Quite simply, it's because of these Irishmen, they want to make trouble!

The reason for the trouble is also very simple, the owner of this silver mine is too picky, the salary is low, the food is low, and then that Jack is still pulling out of it, who can stand this? Maybe the Chinese workers can bear it, but the Irish can't bear it, they want to make trouble.

But to make trouble, it is not enough for the Irish to make trouble by themselves, in this mine, the number of Irish is only a few dozen, and more are Chinese workers, so if you want to make trouble, you must unite with Chinese workers, at least you can't make Chinese workers enemies, right?

And Matthew, this guy, knows the head of the current Chinese workers, and they came in the same car, so if the burden of the United Chinese workers is not handed over to Matthew, then who else can it be handed over?

As soon as Li Mengyang heard that he was going to make trouble, his eyes lit up at that time, isn't this the workers' movement?

So, he immediately joined in, and gave a very good plan to make trouble, that is, a strike!

Think Li Mengyang is a party history research monk, but the workers' movement is not familiar with it?

He knew very well that the most powerful weapon in the hands of the workers was strike, and nothing else, and as for these big bosses, like Brady who spoke, he wanted to just fight Jack's bastards.

People have guns, have you ever done them? If it is so hard, the result in exchange can only be suppressed, according to what Li Mengyang has learned, this matter has to come step by step.

But to talk about this, Li Mengyang is somewhat emotional, Li Mengyang on the Chinese workers' side still has to be inspired and awakened, but these guys in Ireland are thinking about martial arts one by one, hey~ The feudal imperial power poisoned my Chinese nation too deeply, too deeply......

"Of course we're going on strike!" That Brady is the old man in the mine, that is, the head of the Irishman, after Li Mengyang bitterly stated the benefits of the strike, this guy finally agreed with this method, and actively prepared to implement it, but there is a problem here.

"Mr. Eastwood, how many Chinese laborers can you handle now?"

Yes, that's the question, this is why the Irish are looking for Li Mengyang, how many Chinese workers can participate in this strike, this is definitely the key to the success or failure of the strike!

"This ......" But in the face of this problem, Li Mengyang was somewhat embarrassed, but this also has to be said, "Now I can confirm that 30 people will participate in this strike!" ”

"It's only 30?!" Brady's face wasn't good.

There are more than 160 Chinese workers, but you, the head of the Chinese workers, can only encourage 30 people, what do you eat?

"There are a lot of reasons for this." Li Mengyang was right, really, he originally thought that as his foreman, he also helped the Chinese workers win the Indians, and taught them to read and write, all these things have been done, you can always get our love, right? Then follow our strikes, this matter, isn't it......

But the result made Li Mengyang very upset, and only a few people did it with him, this ...... Well, in fact, Li Mengyang knows very well that if he had experienced the previous events and won the Indians or something, then I'm afraid not to mention 30, 3 more.

"Haha......"

"Just don't do it!"

Several other Irishmen were in a hurry, and it has to be said that the Irish side was indeed very united when it came to making trouble.

"What do you mean, Mr. Eastwood?" Brady looked at Li Mengyang with very fierce eyes.

"We've got to do it!" Li Mengyang returned an unusually resolute look!

Li Mengyang's reason is actually very simple, mainly in two aspects, one is winter, everyone knows in winter, this day is not good, that day is not good, everyone will naturally think about huddling together to keep warm, right?

I have to say that the weather in this mining area is a bit strange, as Brady and Zhou Dashan have said, this place is not very cold in winter, at most one or two snows. But it's better than going on strike in the spring and summer, right? No one was messing with you at that time, right?

On the other hand, it's even more interesting.

“…… Now that we're being treated so badly, it can reveal two problems, it could be that the mine owner needs money, or it could be that Jack's bastard needs money, but the more money they need, the more powerful our strike will be, you can figure out the truth behind this? ”

In fact, the reason is very simple, but after Li Mengyang explained, these guys in Ireland still have a lot of eyes on the sky, of course, there are only black cave walls on it.

"Once we strike, they will have no source of money, so they will naturally have to agree to our conditions!" Matthew was quick to respond.

"That's right! That's it! Li Mengyang glanced at Matthew, Li Mengyang knew very well that at this age, although there are some workers' movements in Europe, they are not systematic, and the workers' movement in the United States has not even sprouted.

In other words, it is impossible for Matthew to figure out this truth by relying on his experience in the rivers and lakes, which can only show that Matthew is not stupid!

"Then if you say that, we'll have to do it?"

"That's right! We must strike now! ”

The plan is set, and then a good show is about to be staged......
