Chapter 23: Enclosure

Dallas, a small city that thrived by the cotton trade, the descendants of the slave owners were on the platform of the train station, looking at the train with soot rumbling in the distance, these guys were all black tuxedos, top hats, and even bow ties, looking dignified and like well-dressed **, not far away were bowing their waists like shrimp, carrying large bundles of cotton and struggling to walk to the truck The looked sideways from time to time, and occasionally one or two Chinese coolies could be seen among these, Carry the same heavy cargo with the same posture.

And those celebrity girls who are in captivity are holding small flower umbrellas, wearing beautiful long skirts, and the small thin waists that are ribbed out by the winch are not grasped, and they have been standing in the sun for a long time, one by one they are short of breath, their faces are pale, and they can't help the wind.

At this time, the train finally arrived at the station, and in the sound of the whistle, the special train with only four carriages and a flat plate slowly stopped, first, the door of the three carriages opened, and dozens of big men in black quickly rushed out, and then dispersed to protect the luxury carriage in the middle, these guys with an average height of more than one meter nine wore black glasses on their faces, held a Lee Enfield rifle in their hands, and inserted a strangely shaped pistol on each side of their waists, looking murderous.

At the same time as these people got out of the carriage, on the last flat car, a black carriage was unloaded, and four white horses were pulled out of the fourth carriage, and then the coachman began to put on the carriage, and the conspicuous British royal symbol on the carriage was clearly visible, and there was an exclamation on the platform, especially the ladies, who were staring at the carriage that had not yet been opened, looking forward to their fantasy prince.

The door finally opened, and His Excellency the Governor and Senator Howard appeared at the door, and then in the midst of applause, His Excellency the Governor shouted with an honor, "Welcome to our most distinguished guest, Mr. Young from the United Kingdom."

Amid more enthusiastic applause and the sound of the magnesium lights of the cameras in the hands of the reporters, a man in a black suit with rich embroidery appeared between the two, and the platform was immediately amazed, especially the ladies were directly dumbfounded, because this person's skin color was no different from those of the Chinese who were coolies.

Seeing this scene, those Chinese workers were also dumbfounded, and one by one they stopped their work, staring at Yang Feng not far away with an unbelievable gaze, their behavior immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the white overseers, and the sound of scolding and whipping immediately sounded.

"I was told that America was a free and equal country, but what did I see here only slavery and flogging? Does U.S. law allow employers to use whips against their own workers?" Boss Yang pointed to this scene very dissatisfiedly and said.

The governor next to him frowned and quickly glanced at the Dallas County Governor who greeted them, and several police officers who were maintaining order immediately ran over to stop this move to damage the image of the United States.

"Mr. Yang, I think it was just an accident." Howard said to Yang Feng with a smiling face.

"Hopefully it was just an accident!" Boss Yang said coldly, it seems that this scene greatly ruined his good mood, this distinguished guest didn't even say much polite words, and directly got into the carriage with the British royal symbol.

Senator Howard and the governor behind him looked at each other helplessly, and then whispered a few words to the Dallas county magistrate, the Dallas county magistrate looked at each other again with the Dallas mayor in a very tangled way, the latter hesitated and nodded, so a city-wide inspection to deal with Boss Yang began, all employers who employ Chinese are strictly prohibited from any corporal punishment and abuse of Chinese workers before Boss Yang leaves, as for this guy left...

Who is he still performing for when he's gone?

However, it seems that this incident hurt Boss Yang very deeply, and at the welcome banquet that night, he was not in a very good mood, and he was originally said to have invested in the construction of a factory in Dallas without mentioning it, and the next day he hurriedly left Dallas for the main destination of his trip, Longview, and the next was his enclosure movement.

Because there are too many places in this circle, including most of the land in Greg County and Luxe County, and more importantly, he also encircled Longview, although there are not many people here at this time, in fact, the total population of the two counties in modern times is only more than 100,000, and there is no one at this time, even Wax County is just a small village, as for Longview, it is a small town at most.

But even if he wants to let the whole family move him out, it is difficult to make sense, these things are useless for him to come forward, it has always been the state government and the county magistrates of the two counties are in charge of talking, it is estimated that these guys are not willing to take too much money to send these loggers in order to be more greedy.

"No, my time is precious, and you must understand that the more it drags on, the greater the appetite of these people, and their asking price may increase exponentially over time, and the most effective means must be taken." Boss Yang said dissatisfied, because he was worried about safety, he has now returned to Dallas, those lumberjacks have guns in their hands, in case they get into a hurry, it will be troublesome to give themselves a shot.

The Texas governor and Senator Howard, as well as the two county governors, looked at each other with sad faces.

"No, you can send the police to expel you! The state government announced the abolition of the two counties, and then forcibly expelled all foreign workers who did not have permanent land ownership from Lu, and the police would change the National Guard.

As for those who own the land, according to the price you are now negotiating, agree to sell them the money and let them go immediately, and those who do not agree will first pick a few leaders, and send them to prison on a charge, and when they agree to the transaction, when they will be released.

If you really can't find a crime, find a group of people who do dirty work, use some extraordinary means for them, and kill one or two if they can't do it, I'll give you another half a month, if this problem is not solved after half a month, then this business will be invalidated, or the efficiency of Florida government will be higher. Boss Yang, who was drinking cold wine in the collapsed hotel, said dissatisfied.

The four of them looked at each other, and His Excellency the Senator said viciously: "First arrest Mayor Longview, say that he is corrupt, and then find someone to testify against him, and I will arrange for a few lawyers to take over."

The county magistrate of Greg County nodded and said: "No problem, I remember that two months ago, he just received a hundred dollars from a timber merchant from other places, I went to contact this person, and when the time comes, give him five hundred dollars, and he will definitely come out to testify."

"Oh, yes! Remember, we are rulers, don't be swayed by those bullshit, giving them money is charity, since it is shameless to give face, then there is no need to give them face anymore. Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

"But in order to prevent them from making trouble, and also to scare them, I think it's better to bring in the National Guard, and call it in Dallas." The county magistrate of Wax Kerks said.

The governor hesitated.

"Tell the mayor of Dallas that if I do him a favor, I'll not only give him $5,000, but I'm also going to build a pesticide factory in Dallas to produce pesticides." Yang Feng said immediately.

In fact, both 666 and DDT have been invented, but no one has applied it to pesticides, especially DDT, which is not even used for pesticides, but is also very effective in medicine.

The original inventor seems to be an Austrian, and if he finds him, he becomes an engineer if he does not apply for a patent, and buys it if he applies for a patent, and this kind of patent that no one cares about does not cost much money.

Since there is such a good thing, then what is there to hesitate in the mayor of Dallas, and the investment plan of Boss Yang has also solved the resistance of the local council, and soon the governor signed an order, and a National Guard of several hundred people was gathered in Dallas, and then led by the county magistrates of the two counties, and killed Longview violently.

Mayor Longview, who had previously led the civil confrontation, was arrested on charges of embezzlement, but in the process of arresting him, the National Guard clashed with armed citizens of Longview, killing one National Guard soldier and two others.

At this moment, the governor of Texas immediately caught the excuse, he sent the National Guard to join the counterinsurgency again in the name of Longview's rebellion and armed protection of embezzlers, and defended Longview with the strength of a regiment, and at the same time sent people to Longview to issue an announcement, all those who accepted the conditions to relocate, immediately went out to collect money and left, if they remained here, they would be regarded as rebels and directly eliminated.

Now the lumberjacks came to their senses, and knew that this was going to be a real thing, and in less than a day, there were less than fifty diehards left in the entire Longview, and these guys claimed to defend their land to the death, so the governor had no choice but to fulfill their wishes, anyway, their armed attack on the state police could be regarded as a rebellion.

A regiment of the National Guard immediately launched an attack on Longview, and in less than an hour the rebellion was put down, and all the rebels were eliminated.

"Yes, this is the manifestation of a powerful political fu, the courage of His Excellency the Governor is admirable, now I think we should talk about the price of this land, how about one and a half million?" Yang Feng said contentedly.

"Mr. Yang, we Texans are the most honest, especially we will never do anything to deceive our friends, and the land you want is worth up to $700,000." His Excellency the Governor said with a sincere face.

"Too little, right?" Yang Feng said.

"It's quite a lot, and if you think the number is appropriate, we can give you some for free." The governor said.

"Then there's nothing wrong with that." Boss Yang nodded.
