"It doesn't matter, we're already the highest-paid workers, and if you look at those outsiders, it's only a few tenths of a dollar a day."

"What qualifications do we have to be dissatisfied with?"

"That's right, if you look at the East Asian workers, they all fled from the Western Railroad, and I heard that they work 20 hours a day, they don't get paid, and they die every day."

"It's good that we don't have to work on the farm now."

"Tom Smith has recently planned to build several public schools, as long as he reaches the age of six, he can study for free for three years, I think Tom Smith is a hero of the Texans!"

"I also think Tom Smith is a Texas hero."

In the Heroic Chemical Factory, a few Texas workers who were chatting during lunch forgot that they had spurned Tom under the leadership of William a few days ago, and under the "unintentional" leadership of some workers, the current workers no longer said anything about William's labor movement, and all praised Tom.

So what is Tom doing now? He was having dinner with a group of Chinese workers from the Celestial Empire.

It's just that the most important thing now is not Tom's dinner with the Chinese leaders, but William's funeral.

William's funeral was next to his ancestral home, along with his parents and his ancestors of the pioneers.

Presiding over the funeral was Carl, a former "third" of the Texas Labor League, dressed in a suit.

Now Carl has bandages around his legs, and his face is scarred by stray bullets, and behind him is the luxurious coffin where William has been buried but has not yet been sealed.

"A month and a half ago, William returned to his hometown of Houston, Texas."

"He knew that I was an orphan, a person struggling to survive in the Hero Factory, and he knew the survival of every worker in the Hero Factory in Texas who was struggling to survive on the food and clothing line."

"He was so great, so selfless, and he resolutely led every Texas worker to war against that cunning and sinister factory owner, Tom Smith!"

"Just so that the workers can get their rightful rights!"

"He is like my father, illuminating my path and guiding me in the right direction when I am confused!"

"But the shameless capitalist, he sent his lackeys, on that dark night, shot at me and William, and in the midst of the chaotic shootout, William pushed me away, because William knew that the devil's target was him."

"I ran away, but I'm not a coward, I'm keeping the fire for the dreams of William and all the workers!"

"He's down! But there will be thousands of Williams standing up! ”

"I'm one of them!"

"Internachonaire will definitely make it happen!"

"Internachonaire will definitely make it happen!"

Most of the workers who came to William's funeral were the leaders of the workers who remained in the Texas Labor League, all dressed in mournful black suits.

The faces of every worker leader present were heavy.

Everyone watched William's coffin sink into the ground, and watched Carl shovel up the dirt with his wounded body, shovel after shovel, and cover William's coffin.

“cat· William（1814-1866）”

“Communism must be realized！”

Carl took out a stone tombstone that was not too large, with several inscriptions on it, which were even inlaid with crystal,

Thinking back to the crystal button coffin, I really don't know where Carl got the money to buy this somewhat "luxurious" deceased supplies.

——————

In May, Tom bought a noodle shop, which Tom transformed into his exclusive restaurant for Chinese workers.

Speaking of which, Tom was a college student in his previous life, and he didn't know much about wine table culture, but he has been in this world for almost a year and a half, and if he doesn't understand wine table culture, he can combine the scenes he saw in the TV series in his previous life to make a wine table that is even more "wine table culture" than the officials of the Celestial Empire.

First of all, the dining room faces south, the door of the private room is also facing south, Tom's main seat is on the opposite side of the door, and a neat and square table is placed in the center of the private room.

Facing the gate, sitting in the main direction of the north facing south, there is a mahogany Taishi chair with exquisite carving, and two Taishi chairs with slightly inferior workmanship and material are placed in each of the other three directions.

The remaining six positions are all occupied, and there are six Chinese labor leaders, of which only one is an old foreman who joined Hero when the company was founded last year, and the remaining five are Chinese labor leaders who led tens of thousands of Chinese workers from California to "sneak away".

And the protagonist of today's dinner, Tom Smith, has not arrived for a long time.

"How long will Daddy have to wait?"

"Let you wait, what are you anxious about!"

Among the five leaders of Chinese workers, there is a father and son from the Zhili area, the father is a small showman, but unfortunately because of a taboo in an article, he was reported to slander Emperor Daoguang, and the whole family was imprisoned together, and he was beheaded after the autumn.

Luck says it's good or not, it's not bad.

Before the autumn queen, he met Emperor Tongzhi who came to power and granted amnesty to the world, but unfortunately his wife and children did not survive the prison and died in prison except for this talented father and his son, who was born strong and was nicknamed "Niu Dan".

Of course, as a Xiucai who "insinuated" and framed Emperor Daoguang, his "amnesty" was not directly acquitted, but was sent to California, USA to work as a Chinese laborer.

To put it nicely, it is called a Chinese worker, and if it is not good, it is a "slave who builds a railway".

Fortunately, I have a little pen and ink, and my son is strong and able to help him work, in short, he is slightly better than the bottom of the Chinese workers, and he has studied for a few years, and he has learned English more than the pure "mud legs" with a bright head, and the general conversation is no problem.

The other four were also very similar, all of them were "labor prisoners" who had committed crimes in the Celestial Empire and were sent in, most of them were a little bit of pen and ink or were gifted in language and dealing with people, they could speak English, and they were quite prestigious among Chinese workers.

Niu Dan took the lead in hunting several jaguars on the way to Texas en masse of the Chinese workers, and was considered by the Chinese workers to be a "tiger hero", so they entered this luncheon that did not match his identity.

The kind of laborers who were arrested purely as strong laborers are a group of "sick Chinese" written by Lu Xun, and they are all the most muddy people, who only know that they are afraid of whipping and build roads.

This is not their own fault, but they were born in the Qing Dynasty, born in feudalism, and their families have no money to study for them, so they really have no choice.

After waiting for more than two hours for the six people to arrive, according to the understanding of these Chinese workers, Tom slowly entered the private room.

Among the six people present, except for Niu Dan, they all warmly welcomed Tom's arrival, and they all sat up to give Tom a beat, Niu Dan also made a beat, but it was obviously a slow beat, and the movements were relatively stiff, which should be a few "elders" who are now learning.

And Tom also slowly returned the salute after a few seconds of the six, and apologized verbally.

"It's really made you wait for a long time, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Where, where, we have just arrived, a plate of tea is only slightly sipped, you are really here."

"Then let's sit down and talk?"

"Please."

"It's okay, it's okay, you guys should sit down first."

That's right, Niu Dan is also ready to sit down, this is the first time he has made such a comfortable and high-end Taishi chair, of course he wants to sit for a while.

Niu Dan was just about to sit down when he was kicked hard by his talented father, and Niu Dan remembered what his father said before eating and didn't dare to sit down.

After Tom slowly took his seat, the other six Chinese workers sat down, and the meal had just begun.
