1282 Anecdotes of the Americas (10)

The camp houses used to house the first batch of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty were brick structures. Some resemble houses in the early countryside of China in another time and space.

However, because these houses use the building materials of the virtual world, even in this spring, when the night will be a little cool, it can be guaranteed that the night will not bring any cold to the Akito who live in the camp.

And everything in the camp, when these Mingren had gone through the initial trepidation, began to make them a little interested.

For these people from the Ming Dynasty, they don't seem to feel any unfriendly attitude from the imperial people. And it seems that these people of the same race and blood as them don't seem to bring them any danger.

Therefore, the next morning, these Ming people walked out of their rooms one by one and began to string the doors.

For these Ming people's door-to-door behavior, the imperial soldiers stationed outside the subway wire fence did not stop it. After all, such an act is unlikely to pose any threat.

Besides, these Ming people lived in the camp mainly to get them used to life in the Americas. It's also about checking their bodies to make sure they're not carrying any disease.

Also, teach them about the laws, regulations, and institutions of the Americas.

A groundwater well has been drilled in the camp and pipes have been installed. But to use tap water, a few people need to manually pump the water nearby, and then others can use clean water through the pipes.

But even so, this kind of convenient facility also shocked those Mingren.

"This is tap water, so you just have to turn on that tap and the water will come out. But you have to arrange for several people every day to take turns pumping water from the well. ”

The Imperial officials in charge of managing the camp came here early in the morning and began to explain to the Ming people how to use some of the facilities in the camp.

"My lord, why are we living here?"

In the process of explaining, there are bold people. At this time, the question was asked that all Ming people wanted to know.

The camp manager looked at the person who was questioning, and when he saw the person who asked him, he was trembling, and at first glance, he knew that he was very afraid.

"Don't be afraid, we won't do anything to you. Originally, I won't tell you about this after a while, but it seems that if I don't tell you early, I guess you will all be upset. ”

The camp manager thought about it for a while, and then he knew the current mental dynamics of these Ming people.

In order to keep these Akito from thinking nonsense all day, he decided to reveal a little bit of information to these Akito.

However, the matter of dividing the land to them cannot be said yet.

We'll have to wait until they're ready to get out of the camp. to be able to tell them.

If anyone couldn't get out of the camp, wouldn't it be a wasted rejoicing?

After all, no one can guarantee that there are no infectious diseases or other germs on these Ming people.

In the end, after some explanations from the camp administrators, these Ming people were half relieved.

Dare is not to imprison them and let them live here, but to see if they have any infectious diseases on their bodies. As long as there are no contagious diseases, they can leave here.

As for where they will go after they leave here. The adult, who looked like an official, didn't say anything. And these Ming people didn't dare to continue asking, so the matter was closed.

"Adults, villains, etc. don't have half a penny on them, ...... this to see a doctor?"

At this time. An old man walked out slowly, arched his hand at the camp keeper, and said something with a worried expression.

Obviously, these Ming people were originally people who couldn't survive in the Ming Dynasty. That's why they were sold to the Americas, or who would have come here?

Therefore. They don't have any money on them.

You must know that the people sold by the Ming Dynasty were all beggars and homeless people. There are even some prisoners in the cells.

"This old man has nothing to worry about. You don't need to spend money to see a doctor. These are free of charge from our Imperial Government. ”

The camp administrator looked at the old man and estimated that the old man must be in his seventies. So when he answered the old man, his face was very pleasant and his tone was modest.

However, the management of this camp is also constantly complaining in my heart.

Damn, even someone of such an age was sent over, and this Ming Dynasty is too inauthentic.

For example, people of this age can basically kill themselves when they come to the Americas, not to mention what they can do when they come to the Americas.

Thanks to the good luck of this old man, otherwise he would have died on the voyage at sea.

I want to come to Daming's side, I think everyone can pay back the silver.

At this old man's age, he can't do any work, and he has to eat at home. So in the spirit of waste utilization, it is stuffed in?

Don't say it, Da Ming really has such thoughts.

Of course, this is only one of the factors.

There are also some reasons, that is, the people below who do things want to make a profit from it.

This is also an unspoken rule of the Ming Dynasty, something that cannot be avoided.

When Zhao Hongyu and Zhu Shangwu reached this agreement, they just said that they wanted people, and did not stipulate the age of the people.

So, this gives some of the people below a loophole to exploit.

Like some refugees who can't survive, they sell themselves to eat a mouthful of food. As long as they can have a bite to eat, they don't even want money.

And the price given by the court is three taels of silver per person, or even an immeasurable amount of silver for young and middle-aged people.

It can be said that as long as this matter is handled well, then the officials and handlers below and even some low-level errands can make a lot of money.

For example, this old man who talked to the camp management, his family of seven, belonged to selling himself. The two sons are young and strong and can get ten taels of silver, and the two daughters-in-law can only be regarded as two taels of silver because they are women and are still married.

At the end, there was a little girl who was over three years old. Nor is it silver.

Therefore, if it is calculated according to the actual situation, their family only needs to pay fourteen taels of silver to buy it.

But in fact, the clerks of their family in the Ming Dynasty are counted according to seven young people.

Therefore, after the empire received the family of seven, it needed to pay according to the price of the young man, that is, he had to take out thirty-five taels of silver.

Here and outside, there is a difference in the price of twenty-one taels of silver.

It can be seen how greedy those officials in the Ming Dynasty were.

The old man heard that it was the court here who paid for it. When I showed them if they were sick for free, I immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, saying a series of good things in my mouth.

As the old man knelt, so did the rest of the camp square.

For a while, the camp was full of the voices of those who were grateful to Dade.

"Get up, we don't kowtow here, as long as you don't make trouble here, it will be a reward for us."

The camp manager asked these Ming people to get up, and at the same time carefully looked at the Ming Dynasty immigrants received this time.

At a glance, although there are quite a few people. But I also saw something clear.

There are many old and weak, young and old, and there are many women.

As for the young and strong, there are not very many.

After making a judgment in his heart, the camp manager frowned.

Grandma's, isn't this when we are wronged.

It cost a lot of money. That's how you got the population.

No, I have to report it.

Thinking of this, the steward said a few more words to these Ming immigrants, and then turned and left the camp.

When he left. Dozens of doctors and nurses from the Imperial Jinshan Military Region Hospital, as well as dozens of teachers who came here to teach these Ming immigrants, began their work.

As a result of the four-month voyage, many of these migrants fell ill.

More so because children, women, and the elderly occupy a large part. Therefore, it is mainly cold and fever.

Fortunately, they came to the Song Empire in the Americas, otherwise these people would probably die-

Dividing Line –

Wang Shan received the document from the camp manager, and after reading it, he also frowned.

It seems that this matter needs to be ventilated to Kyushu and His Highness.

If the ships on the Ming Dynasty were all old and weak, women and children, this would not be a good thing for the Song Empire.

Not to mention their role in the development of the empire, it is estimated that these people will have to die a lot during the four-month sea voyage alone.

The luck of this group of immigrants is good, and only more than 100 people have died.

Mainly because this batch of ships was transported by the Song Empire. At the same time, there is plenty of food on board, as well as enough emergency medicine.

If it were a European ship, there would be no need to think that at least six adults would die in this group of immigrants.

Besides, once the Ming side tastes the sweetness, all the immigrants who will be sent in the future will be like this. So isn't this side of the Americas a kindergarten and nursing home?

That's not going to work.

Soon, Wang Shan made a decision.

He wrote two letters that he was going to take back when the transport ship returned to Kyushu. One was handed over to the Kyushu Regional Immigration Bureau, and the other was handed over to His Royal Highness Zhao Hongyu.

He hoped that the Kyushu Immigration Bureau would have a good consultation with the Ming Dynasty on this issue.

Otherwise, you will definitely be caught.

Of course, Wang Shan also named him in the letter, and it would not be impossible to hand over the old and weak women, children and children. It's just that the price can't be nonsense, otherwise the agreement between the empire and the Ming Dynasty will be null and void.

In other words, the empire accepts the elderly, weak women, children, and children, after all, if these people come to the Americas, at least they will live a much better life than in the Ming Dynasty.

However, the empire can't lose too much here.

Wouldn't that be the empire a big fool.13 (To be continued......)
