Chapter 273: Bai Xia'er's Experiences (1)
When the transport ship "Equality-C" slowly docked at Xinjin Port, Bai Xiaer did not feel that the journey was too long, but that it was far shorter than expected.
Bai Xia'er once asked the most respected monk in Jingci Temple how far away the end of the world was.
The monk said, "Where a thousand suns and moon shine, bhikkhus, and a thousand worlds...... Chimara Ten...... Thousand Brahma Heavens......
Bai Xia'er didn't understand, she just felt that it was far, far away.
Asked Daddy again.
Daddy tore open the dog meat and said with a smell of wine, Feng Wolf Juxu, Yanzhi Mountain, is the end of the world.
In short, no one could answer her questions.
From Hangzhou Mansion to Shanghai Road, Bai Xiaer walked for five or six days.
Listening to the merchants who came from the south to the north, this was just a very short journey between the south and the north of the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, Bai Xia'er thought, from the Qing Dynasty to Citigroup, I'm afraid that I will have to walk for more than ten years like Tang monks and apprentices went to Tianzhu?
But it's clear that he's only been gone for eight years......
In short, no matter how you imagined it, Bai Xia'er never thought that she would take a hundred feet of big boat, split the waves, and it only took less than twenty days to reach Citigroup.
Or rather......
Da Ming?
"Little White Lady, it's time for us to get off the boat!"
A young woman's voice rang in my ears, "Thanks to your help along the way!" ”
Bai Xia'er hurriedly got up, shook her head with a smile, and helped her lift the complicated luggage.
This aunt's husband's family name is Lu, and others call her Aunt Lu.
Aunt Lu has dry hair and yellow skin, and looks like she is thirty or forty years old, but in fact she is only twenty-six or seventeen.
She was alone with a little boy of four or five years old, and she was next to Bai Xia'er all the way.
The conditions given to Chinese workers, both male and female, are much better than those of piglets.
But on the ocean, every inch of space and every material is precious, and it must play its full role for the rise of the Ming Dynasty.
In order to make the most of the space, the cabin is divided into compartments with a ceiling height of less than two meters.
The crowding on each floor is similar to that of the green trains of the 90s, and it is a luxury to stretch your legs and sleep in a straight seat.
And these Chinese workers can only get enough fresh water to drink every day, and sea lion salted porridge with no cooking skills to speak of.
Of course, in order to prevent sepsis, half an orange a day is also indispensable.
But this kind of treatment is also extremely benevolent in the eyes of Chinese workers.
After all, there are three meals a day, and there is meat, and this meat is so fat that it makes people bite their tongues!
This is the life of the landlord and the landlord's wife!
Of course, compared to these Chinese workers who had to lick the dishes and chopsticks clean at every meal, the sailors were treated much better.
The treatment of sailors has always been the best in the whole army.
Including leave, allowances, and various benefits.
On board, the sailors also have a small cabin for 8 people, each with a small small hammock.
In addition to salted fish and marinated sea lion meat, they also have chocolate, cheese, and a variety of canned foods to eat.
When Aunt Lu's children first got on the boat, they vomited badly because of seasickness, and a little soldier gave them a canned yellow peach.
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that canned yellow peaches can cure all diseases.
And this time, the child ate the canned food, and sure enough, he stopped crying, hugged his mother and said that he had never eaten such a delicious thing in his life.
Aunt Lu thanked her for her kindness, and the little soldier reached out to touch the child's head, but found that it was full of lice, and quickly retracted his hand.
In short, along the way, Bai Xia'er, like other female workers, felt that this journey was so smooth that it felt unreal.
Not only did they eat and drink, but a few female workers with diarrhea were also treated by the ship's military doctors.
What is even more surprising is that there were no accidents on board, even though all the men on board were men.
There was even a woman from Qinglou who slandered the food of the warriors, implying that it could be exchanged for a body.
Bai Xia'er still remembers the sailor's expression.
He seemed to have encountered a terrible enemy, and his face turned white with fright: "Our royal soldiers have iron discipline, and the relationship between men and women is an absolutely untouchable high-pressure red line!"
Girl, please respect yourself! Please respect yourself...... Dead weight...... Heavy...... Damn, you don't suffer Lao Tzu! ”
……
Facts have proved that the sailor did not talk nonsense, and the dozens of sailors on the whole ship were all like him, and they did not commit any offence against women, and there was not the slightest unclean hand and foot.
In fact, this is for sure, in the Ming royal army, the requirements for the relationship between men and women have always been very strict.
As a member of the Royal Army, you can go to the Workshop Division, and you can go to Seattle.
But if anyone dares to harass resident women, especially Chinese women, without asking for instructions and approval, then wait to go to court-martial.
Expulsion from the military and the abolition of all benefits are only the minimum sentences.
This is a point that Zhu Fugui has vigorously implemented according to the experience of the regulations and regulations of the children of later generations, although it cannot be copied, but it has also achieved five or six percent.
Of course, this is subjective.
Objectively speaking, it is true that these so-called "Wu Di Xi Shi" are no different from beggars.
As for the Qinglou woman who seduced the little soldier, to be honest, it is not certain who takes advantage of whom!
I haven't gone through the naturalization physical examination, sanitized and sterilized, and I don't know if there is a kiln sister of Hualiu, which is comparable to those well-trained, innovative, and safe and secure Yanmars in Seattle?
Of course, these dirty ideas, the little warriors dare not show them when they are killed, but they will rot in their hearts.
The imperial trainer also said: Filial piety is the first, no trace of the heart, no filial piety in the poor family; All evil and fornication are the first, regardless of the heart, and there is no perfect person in the world!
……
Following the team of female workers, Bai Xia'er helped Aunt Lu, who was not good at her legs and feet, to get off the boat.
Aunt Lu is from Jiangyin, and her husband is a bad gambler, and she has no one after she owes a lot of debts two years ago.
The creditor came to the door several times and took all the things in the house, but it was far from enough.
They want to sell Aunt Lu to the kiln, and it is the lowest kind of private prostitution secret kiln.
Aunt Lu didn't obey and broke her leg.
Fortunately, at this time, Huai Jun came to Jiangyin to make a list, saying that he wanted to recruit a group of women to go to Citigroup to work as female workers in silk reeling, with food and shelter, and good treatment.
Where is Citigroup, Aunt Lu doesn't know, and she doesn't know if she can really be a silk reeler.
All she knew was that if she stayed in Jiangyin, she would go to hell, and her five-year-old child would become a beggar on the streets.
So she asked if she could bring the child.
After receiving an affirmative reply, she decided to take a gamble.
In fact, Aunt Lu had already made up her mind in her heart that if the so-called "Citi Country's silk reeler" was just a scam, then she would jump into the sea with her child in her arms.
Because she heard the older generation talk about going abroad, it might be more terrible than hell.
Not everyone can sacrifice all principles in order to survive.
Fortunately, at the moment, it seems that I have made the right bet?
