Chapter Thirty-Six: Worship Guan Gong! Establish a Hero Club!
"Those hundreds of thousands of people in California are not enough for you to stuff your teeth, you know what to do next, right?"
"Understood, understood, Master Tang, let's go and prepare an ocean-going freighter, go to the southeast coast of the Celestial Empire to find people, and save them from the miserable world of aquatic fire."
"Remember, you have to recruit in the name of recruitment, and I don't recommend that you go to the southeast coast, but to the north and south Zhili area, where agriculture is developed and there are many farmers, especially in the North Zhili area, and the language is basically Mandarin, which is easy to manage."
"Lord Tang, the officials in the Zhili region are in charge of it leniently, and when the time comes..."
"Ten dollars per person for the introduction fee, I just contacted the old witch of Lafayette, and she will also rush to send the "employees", right? If you can't even do that, I'll do it instead. ”
"How is it possible, I just scolded those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they don't have the consciousness of loving the country and the people like you and saving the Han people from fire and water!"
"Lord Tang's words today have the same effect on me as recreating my parents."
"Master Tang, you are really wise and powerful, my admiration for you is like a surging river, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control."
To tell the truth, in this situation, Tom changed into a Manchu official uniform, and it was really the same as in the TV series, He Shen and his group of dogs were discussing how to "save the country and save the people".
"Lord Tang, yesterday I watched the sky at night, and today is a good day for the establishment of our official hero association."
"I have set up the altar and asked my lord and my colleagues to move."
Zhang Zhuzi also coquettishly invited the other six people to walk out of the private room together, except for Tom's bodyguards standing outside the private room, there are hundreds of large and small Chinese workers, of course, they are not qualified to eat with Tom.
"A bunch of rubbish, don't get out yet!"
Tom first walked up to the group of white Texan bodyguards, kicked the three security guards who had been knocked down by the cow balls, and shouted a few words in the air.
Of course, the bodyguards couldn't understand Tom's words, and could only understand Tom's gestures, so they helped the three security guards who were beaten by the cow eggs and left.
In the middle of the hall is a large object covered with a red cloth, Zhang Zhuzi stepped forward and lifted the red cloth, inside is a golden Guan Gong statue of more than three meters.
"The emperor is above, and the earth is the proof!"
"Today, I, Tom Smith, lead the brothers to found the "Heroes Club". ”
"Not for money, not for power, not for sex."
"I just want to save the poor people of the Celestial Empire from fire and water!"
"Work together, never give up!"
"Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and help each other in adversity!"
"One heart and one mind, never give up!"
"The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are the earth, and this heart is learned!"
In this way, Tom, a sixteen-year-old boy from a pure Hispanic Houston Catholic family in Texas, and a group of Chinese workers in their twenties and thirties, burned incense and worshiped Guan Gong together.
Considering that most of the Chinese workers were southerners, Tom also deliberately arranged in advance the process of burning yellow paper and chopping live chickens.
After burning incense and worshipping Guan Gong, Tom found a Taishi chair, placed it on the right hand side of Guan Gong's statue, and sat up steadily.
A group of people with uneven cultural levels, at best, are talented children, so in front of Huang Guan Gong, one by one swore to join the "Heroes Club" that Tom had just established.
According to their status and status, they first gave incense to Guan Gong one by one, and then knelt down in front of Tom to "worship the mountain".
"General Helmsman – Tom Smith"
"Deputy helmsman - Zhang Zhuzi"
"Qinglong Hall Master - Qi Dadong"
"White Tiger Hall Master - Liu Yiyuan"
"Xuanwu Hall Master - Lin Geng"
"Suzaku Hall Master - Li Jiao"
"Chief Protector - Li Niu (Cow Egg)"
“……”
From noon to evening, hundreds of large and small Chinese foremen all became members of the "Heroes Club".
And after everyone had finished worshipping, Tom had his men carry out five boxes of silver, and the division gave them to the four hall masters and the chief protector.
The Four Great Hall Masters and Chief Protectors also understood what Tom meant by this public reward, and they were not stingy, and gave it all to the small leaders under their hands.
After all the steps were done, Tom left in a carriage with several bodyguards waiting at the door.
"This TNND, is it really the descendant of Baijing'er's grandfather?"
"Zhang Zhuzi, a few months ago, you only told Lao Tzu that the boss who sent you seemed to like Chinese workers very much and was willing to give a daily wage of 0.5 US dollars, so Lao Tzu came with his brothers, and it turned out that this TM simply liked Chinese workers?"
"Not to mention anything else, this second master Guan has also made an oath in front of him, can he still fool him casually like before?"
"Even if we fool him, when we worship in front of Second Master Guan and recognize him as a mountain, we won't be able to leave if we want to!"
"Such a big scene, the pure gold Guan Erye, tens of thousands of taels of silver will be rewarded, it is difficult not to pass it on."
"Zhang Zhuzi, you have to give us an explanation, it's much more difficult to deal with than before, this ghost!"
"You are not allowed to call the chief helmsman ghost, it is our chief helmsman."
"You little bastard, you dare to talk back to your father."
After Tom left, the six core members of the Heroes Club gathered in a private room to discuss the origin of this "helmsman" Tom Smith.
Only Li Zhuzi touched his few goatees unhurriedly, and said slowly pretending to be profound.
"Last year, the boss only told me to secretly go to California to pull some Chinese workers to work, the more the better, and also placed my whole family in a big house."
"But my brothers listen to my advice."
"Why is it about the second master and not about the second master, how many of us buddies, can we get to this point, and still believe this?"
"I don't believe in any real dragon emperor emperor Lao'er."
"The point now is not whether he is the descendant of Baijing'er's grandfather, but the silver in your hand."
"The three-meter-tall second master of Jin Guan, tens of thousands of taels of silver will be rewarded without blinking his eyes, do you think about how big an official and how big a businessman can have so much silver?"
"A worker who comes to work in a factory is given ten dollars, ten dollars! Those mud-legged men have worked hard for twenty days to get ten dollars, and we just need to get the door. ”
"If you don't know the dollar, you know the silver, ten dollars is five taels of silver!"
"Those dog officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, let's divide them with some silver, one or two cents per head, and within half a year, millions of people will come over, if all the 40,000 people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty come, it will be 400,000 US dollars, 200,000 taels of silver!"
"I'll ask you, do you want the silver in vain in front of you?"
The six of them just look at me, I look at you, and think of the tens of thousands of taels of silver just now and the pure gold Guan Erye, especially the silver that Zhang Zhuzi said, after thinking about it, he finally unified the caliber.
"tnd!"
