Chapter 27 There must be a revolution!
"MR Eastwood. Don't be depressed, I tell you, from now on, you will be the heads of those damn Chinese workers!"
After Li Mengyang signed the contract for selling his body, Jack patted his shoulder, as if the gun he had just faced at was not there at all.
"I'll give it a lung!" Li Mengyang's words were naturally spoken in Cantonese, and then he translated them to Jack, "I will work hard."
To be honest, Li Mengyang only knew the concept of contract worker from the textbooks he had learned. There was a piece of text, and now Li Mengyang is clear about it. It turned out that this contract worker was from the United States, and this thing was indescribable to slavery!
It seems that it is a little better than a slave?
But maybe, you must know that slaves are very comfortable nowadays. At least they won’t be miners. They all work in cotton fields, and the danger is much less.
Besides, the young slaves nowadays have good life. The children of slaves are still slaves, and the price of slaves is very high. In other words, they can create wealth for the slave owners, but what about contract workers?
It seems that this is a revolution that needs to be caused!
Miner!
How dangerous is this profession?
The revolution is even more urgent, otherwise Li Mengyang really doesn't know how long he can last.
Fortunately, it was not all bad news. The reason why Jack asked Li Mengyang to sign such a "body sale contract" was naturally because he spent a lot of money to buy him from the human trafficker. In other words, Li Mengyang was so sad that he was sold without even touching it. But the reason why Jack wanted to do this was mainly because he saw Li Mengyang's specialty.
He can speak English and speaks very well!
This allows for better communication. There are many Chinese workers in this mine. You should know that this is New Mexico, not California, and there are not so many Chinese exclusion laws here. Many Chinese miners are also very useful. So, if a Chinese worker who can speak English can be used as a sound tube, how easy it is to manage it?
So since it is management, Li Mengyang naturally has to be an official, and he can have certain rights... Why do you think this is like a translator in an anti-Japanese drama?
Li Mengyang really doesn't want to do this job because he is so fucking hated, his conscience cannot be overcome, and his fate will not be too good, but what can you do when someone presses your forehead with a gun?
The good news is that he can have some convenience to mobilize the masses, he is a foreman of China.
However, Li Mengyang has now deeply realized the importance of being proficient in a foreign language. This skill can make someone sell it and have to count the money!
Then mobilizing the masses to cause a revolution...
"Dream Sheep! Why are you?"
"Oh? Mai is powerful?"
Unexpectedly, Li Mengyang met an acquaintance at this mine, which was Mai Youli who came with the same boat. This was simply too unexpected!
"Mengyang! That's great! We're together again! That, why did you come here? You sold yourself too? In fact, there's nothing wrong with it. I thought you should sell yourself. It's really good, at least there's a place to sleep and have food..."
"..." Li Mengyang was really uncomfortable with Mai Youli's benefit of selling himself. He felt very uncomfortable. Chinese people in this era, when will you awaken?
The task is heavy and the road is long, but Li Mengyang is not discouraged!
"I won't talk about this anymore, Youli, have you come here just after getting off the boat?" Li Mengyang didn't want his old acquaintance to continue speaking, although he wanted to help Youli awaken in the future.
"I was sold once and changed to a mine." Very good, this person is not very careful and says whatever he has.
"That..." Before Li Mengyang could say anything, Jack shouted behind him.
"Irish guy! Chinese guy (chink)!"
After he let out, the people in the mine basically gathered towards Jack. He also found a higher place. It seemed that he wanted to say something.
"As the contractor of this mine! I'm announcing something now..." Jack's voice was hoarse, and this era of communication was basically yelling, "You have seen it, and many newcomers have come! These guys are all hungry and need your help now..."
"Oh~" the miners responded, but obviously they did not express a 'welcome'.
"Also, Chinese guy! I've found you a beginning! I'll give you a grand introduction, Mr. Clint Eastwood!"
Very well, Li Mengyang was finally introduced grandly, and he became the leader of Chinese workers, but that's all.
"Oh~" still responded so listlessly, but fortunately, someone was still quite positive.
"Oh! Mengyang, you are so awesome!"
Li Mengyang could see that perhaps the one who really welcomed him in this mine was Mai Youli. This is probably a rare good news recently...
"What?"
"Yes, we have to eat less, and then, it seems like we all eat as much as we eat, but we eat less than before..."
After becoming the leader of a Chinese worker, Li Mengyang found Mai Youli, and then Mai Youli explained to Li Mengyang why everyone was listless.
Yes, newcomers are coming and there are too many people in the mine. The food will not increase for a while. There are two reasons here. One is that it is because it is a mountainous area, and it is always difficult to transport things in. This is objective. On the other hand, it is to save as much as you can. Anyway, the money saved is profitable. Jack and the mine owner will be very happy, and of course it is subjective.
Evil capitalist!
After learning about this, Li Mengyang felt that the hope for revolution was greater, because the more fierce the oppression was, the more violent the resistance broke out.
So, can Li Mengyang succeed?
...
"This brother, we workers have the strength to live a better life..."
"I know we have the strength, you need to say this? Idiot!"
"Brother! We workers are all one family. As long as we unite, we will definitely be able to..."
"Family? Don't fucking tease me! If it's a family, let other people's wife sleep with me, then I will believe you!"
I have to say that this requirement is really simple...
"Sister! Don't leave, sister, don't leave! I'm not going to eat you..."
Li Mengyang couldn't wait to mobilize the masses, but reality gave him a great headache, and basically no one could understand what he said. Even later, when others saw him, they would walk around like the plague god, just like that big sister.
Big sister?
Well, although the ratio of men and women in our mine is very unbalanced, there are still women. There are 163 Guanghua workers in this mine. It is not strange that there are no women. Many of them are actually family members. Some of these families come to Amerika, and some of them make some money and then spend money to buy "female piglets" through human traffickers. Most of the Chinese workers in the United States use this method to reproduce offspring.
The more I know, the more Li Mengyang wants to help these individuals, hoping that they can awaken and follow him...
"Brother Li, I think you have been talking about workers these days, strength and unity, what exactly are you talking about?"
You can say nothing, not everyone is not interested in what Li Mengyang Xuanxuan. So, that guy Yang Guangren came to take the initiative to consult. What a good thing.
"Brother Yang, this is actually like this. We are in a position now, that is, this society. Oh, society is better, so we are the lowest level of this country now. We have nothing, so we are the proletariat. Although the proletariat has nothing, the proletariat has strength because we are proletariat..."
It’s just like there are listeners, so how could Li Mengyang let Yang Guangren go? It’s like a dam is opened, and the flood waters rushed out, baptizing Yang Guangren.
"Brother Li, I still have something to do. Let's talk about it another day, another day." Yang Guangren was washed away by the flood.
"..." Alas, Li Mengyang was really a little powerless at this time.
"You young man can't do your job, you eat too much, you are idle all day long, you..."
"Shut up! You sissy, just cook your meal and wash your clothes. Why bother with that?"
"Hmph! Dead ghost!"
"It's so amazing!"
As the head of the Chinese worker, Li Mengyang had to have a residence. Jack arranged him in a family. The family's surname was Zhou and the family of three. The couple who quarreled was naturally the hostess. Zhou Dashan, his wife, and a child named Xiaoshanzi, who was only five or six years old.
It is called a home, but in Li Mengyang's eyes, this is a simple shack. This shack is made of local materials and made of wood and canvas for tents. To put it bluntly, it is better than a simple tent, and that's all. Miners basically live in shacks, which can be regarded as a collective dormitory in the mid-19th century.
Zhou Dashan’s shack is pretty good. It’s bigger and has more things. Although it doesn’t look so clean, everyone is just going to be too busy and there’s no choice. What other bicycles do you want these days?
This family is pretty good to Li Mengyang, but when Zhou saw that Li Mengyang didn't work much and ate a lot, there was nothing he could do. I was half a young man who was poor, so she would inevitably say something bad.
"Well, brother and sister-in-law, I'm a newcomer and I'm not familiar with work. From then on..." Li Mengyang didn't want to work, but he really never did mining work. Maybe he did it when he was playing legends before? So it would be nice if he didn't cause trouble for others.
"Don't listen to those nonsense! Boy Mengyang, you're good, at least you didn't bully us by the power of Master Foreigner. You're good." Zhou Dashan is very real. In his consciousness, Li Mengyang is a good person. At least he is an "official" right? But he even said something to us, so we're content.
"Hmph!" Zhou didn't say much, in fact, she was just shattering her mouth.
It's a joke, and Xiao Shanzi knew how to eat it. Anyway, what he is most concerned about now is to compete with Li Mengyang for food.
"Hehehe..." Li Mengyang was praised by others, so he was naturally embarrassed. He scratched his head and asked, "There were Chinese workers' foremans before?"
"Yes!" Zhou interrupted the first thing, "That guy is so bad! You are not as good as you've been talking about foreign words, but you always bully us..."
"You stupid girl! Be careful of your tongue!" Zhou Dashan interrupted Zhou. Obviously, he was still a little prepared for Li Mengyang.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Li Mengyang was very interested in his ex because he wanted to know, "What's wrong with that person? Don't do it?"
Yes, there was a foreman before. What was wrong with him? Why could he get into this position?
Before Zhou Dashan and his wife could say anything, they heard Xiao Shanzi say something.
"That one was killed! He was beaten to death!"
"..."Damn it! Is the profession of 'translator' really dangerous?
