Chapter 125: Restless and Calm

With the Governor of Paradise Island, James, officially announced the abolition of slavery on Paradise Island, Paradise Island soon became the focus of attention in the Western world, and various empires reacted differently, some criticized the British Empire for being messing around, and the abolition of the implementation of slavery would plunge the entire Western world into chaos, and some believed that the British Empire's approach was too radical, and the slavery system certainly had its historical limitations, but it was not useless, and it could not be directly and simply abolished this system, and more empires said to the public, Without the unanimous consent of all citizens, there will be absolutely no consideration of following suit.

In the British Empire, the news of the abolition of slavery also spread immediately, a large number of slave owners have written to the parliament to express their deep concerns, and some of the top dignitaries of the empire who were already opposed to it even jointly wrote a letter demanding that this absurd decision be withdrawn immediately, but the decision to abolish slavery on a trial basis was approved by the queen herself, and she wanted to withdraw unless the queen herself repented.

At the same time, a large number of mouthpieces loyal to Duke Jackson also spoke out through various channels, and the theme they preached was one, the empire was not a rotten and stubborn zombie, it was willing to follow the trend to make changes, but this change needed a gradual process, and the conditions in all aspects of the entire imperial society could reach a certain level in order to be fully promoted, and the empire took into account the various human rights and human nature problems brought about by the slavery system, but it also fully took into account the interests of the aristocracy and the citizen class. That's why I chose Paradise Island as a test field, rather than blindly achieving it overnight.

It has to be said that after a period of sinking, the negative effects of the abolition of slavery have not only been well controlled, but also gradually manifested in the positive effects. For the aristocracy and ordinary citizens, the abolition of slavery is currently only a trial trial, and it will be tried for three years or even more on the distant paradise island, so in fact, it will not have any substantial impact on their current lives, even if the slavery system is completely abolished in the entire British Empire in a few years, they will have enough time to adjust before that, and for a large number of slaves, they see a ray of light, although it may still be far away, but after all, there is a hope ahead, Before this, the main object of the republican revolution was actually these oppressed slaves, embracing the republic in order to take off their slave label and truly have freedom, but the slaves also knew very well that the revolution must pay bloody sacrifices, and the slave riots that occurred earlier were a bloody lesson, so if there is a chance to be free without revolution now, then why take that risk again? Three or five years is not a long time, nor is it a short time, and for those slaves who have been working for decades, there is no point in waiting a little longer.

The slaves who obtained citizenship on Paradise Island also fell into embarrassment, although they were freed and allocated their own land, but the problem is that most of the slaves are alone, even if they have started a family before becoming slaves, after several reselling, their families have long not known where to go, plus the queen clearly stipulates that slaves who have obtained citizenship are not allowed to leave Paradise Island until the empire completely abolishes slavery, so there is nothing to talk about to find relatives.

Because of this, although a slave becomes a citizen and gains freedom, he will soon have to face the dilemma of life. Not only did he have to reclaim the fields and build a residence by himself, but he also had to find a way to solve the citizenship tax, and the male ** subordinate was a little better, and the female slave was even more difficult.

I found James, and to put it mildly, the students and the little card were successful in obtaining Imperial citizenship, but James also warned me again and again that if those students dared to mention half a word about revolution, I would be arrested together.

In addition to the student and Xiaoka, Tina also regained her freedom, and after the two sisters met again, they hugged and cried, a handful of snot and tears, and the big bear on the side couldn't help but turn around and secretly wipe his tears.

Previously, Big Bear and Aya were both living in Russell's house, and now there is another Tina, and continuing to live there is a bit of a crowd, and the other is too shameless, I gathered everyone in the camp, and then said to everyone: "In the past, Tina may have done something to hurt everyone because of her slave status, but now that she has regained her freedom, do you think it is necessary to accept the two sisters?" ”

"That's hard to say, is it?" Sister Hongmei has always been suspicious of Tina, she shook her head and said: "Although she is free now, it doesn't mean that she won't continue to serve Sandro, and I can't come up with substantial evidence, but my intuition tells me that I still can't trust her easily." ”

Later, everyone also expressed their own opinions, most of them did not agree to accept the Tina sisters, and finally Lin Ruyi thought of a compromise solution, which could help Tina and her sisters build a house near their land, if they had any difficulties in life, we could help them, but we couldn't let them live with us.

To tell the truth, I also agree with Lin Ruyi's thoughts, and the reason why I ask everyone's opinion is not that I don't doubt Tina, it is purely because Da Xiong's grandson is inseparable from his love now, if everyone does not agree with Sister Tina to come to the camp, it is estimated that Da Xiong will choose to move over.

Sure enough, as soon as I returned to the winery from the camp, Big Bear came to me in a hurry, and he said excitedly, "Well, now that Tina is also a citizen of the Empire, you have no reason to suspect that she will hurt us, right?" ”

"Big Bear, this guy still has some trouble with Tina, we don't know anything about her background, all the sources of information come from herself, it's hard to tell if it's true or not, who can guarantee that she won't continue to work for Sandro?"

"I'm really convinced, according to your theory, aren't the students in the camp and that little card also unknown? How can you be sure that they don't have any ulterior motives? ”

"Tina is different from them, after all, she did hurt everyone. I can understand your feelings, but you also have to understand everyone's thoughts. ”

"Understand a fart!" Big Bear was very angry and shouted, "You just look at people with colored glasses!" Do you really think that without you, Tina and I won't be able to live? We also have land now, and as long as we can endure hardship, what can't we live. By the way, since it's all about this, I'll just spread it out, those students and the land of that Xiaoka are in the planting concentration area, and my land is in the camp, for our own convenience, let's just exchange the land. ”

"Big Bear, don't mess around, what do you mean by that? Are you going to break up with us? I also asked rhetorically, a little upset.

"We've never been a family, where did we get the word separation? Old Han, we two brothers, you also know that I like Tina, but you don't even help me, do you treat me as family? ”

"Of course I'll help you, but if I know you're probably making the wrong choice, do I have to close my eyes and ignore it?"

For a while, the scene fell into embarrassment, Da Xiong's grandson was determined to never give up on Tina, Long Xin'er, who was outside, heard the quarrel between me and Da Xiong and hurriedly came in to check the situation, seeing that we were both angry and red-faced, and hurriedly persuaded us to be calm and calm, but I didn't expect Da Xiong's grandson to be able to control his mouth again, he said to Long Xin'er angrily: "Don't be busy persuading us, think about yourself, if you put aside the ancient times, you will be a fourth lady at most." ”
