308. Undercurrent
In the 19th century, this was the central part of the gold rush in the western United States. Most textbooks called it the "Westward Movement". Since then, the development of the west was linked to population migration, expanding the economic development, transportation and industrial and commercial development in the United States. After the early Chinese workers came to the United States, most of them lived here and called it "Golden Mountain". After discovering gold mines in Melbourne, Australia, in order to distinguish them from Melbourne, which is called "New Gold Mountain", they were renamed San Francisco as "San Francisco".
The history of the development of the western United States can actually be seen as the blood and tears of Chinese workers. Without hard-working Chinese workers, the United States would never have a well-connected railway. Chinese workers have low salaries and high work intensity. You should know that in the 1850s and 1860s, the railway from New York to San Francisco was not opened. It usually took a boat to Panama to detour, which took more than half a year. In a foreign land, Chinese people were extremely hard and risked their lives to dig 15 tunnels on Mount Nevada. The hard work of tens of thousands of Chinese workers was exchanged for a discriminatory "Chinese Exclusion Act". Chinese people survive by labor, but they did not have the right to use public resources such as schools and hospitals! Without voting rights, they cannot purchase land, and they are not allowed to be naturalized!
Even, this is the only bill in the United States that targets specific ethnic groups!
How ridiculous this is! This is an evil deed by the people of the Promised Land.
California has also issued a series of unconstitutional regulations with only one purpose: targeting Chinese! Many media have slandered Chinese and robbed their jobs, causing whites to lose their jobs. Even police arrested law-abiding Chinese for various purposes just to squeeze out their few money.
As more and more Chinese immigrants arrive, violent acts of discrimination against Chinese continue to occur. The establishment of the overseas Hongmen is actually the result of the Chinese joining together to keep warm and support each other.
After more than a hundred years of development, San Francisco has become the most concentrated place for Chinese in the United States. In San Francisco, Chinese account for more than 12% of the total population. Walking on Chinatown, you will even feel like you are in China. In places with a large population, there are rivers and lakes. The Hongmen, which has been rooted in a century, was the original purpose of speaking out for the interests of the Chinese. Chinese can be said to be the most diligent and hardworking nation in history, but kindness cannot exchange for rights. Until 48, Chinese and white people were prohibited from intermarriage here.
But so what?
The Chinese have their own resilience that has been passed down for thousands of years, and they will constantly prove themselves everywhere.
The tasks of Ye Hetu, Shuanzi and Gou Zuo are temporarily completed, so they went to work, and asked Chen Qingdi to take Su Budong to make a move in San Francisco first.
Chen Qingdi took Su Budong to a tavern first: "Brother Su, after I come, I will take you to the pier of the Hongmen boss."
"Whose industry is this?" Su Budong asked at the Chinese tavern outside the window.
"This is Jiang Ye's property."
"Mr. Jiang?"
"Jiang is of great seniority in the sect, he is an elder in the sect. Today, we will come to worship the wharf, and the other is asking him to write a door post."
"Write your door post?" Su Budong asked.
The post, also known as the poster's post, is a written proof of whom the disciple is to take, which is the subject. For example, in the past, the candidates of the subject called themselves the principal examiner, and the examiner was the head of the post to determine the origin of the same school. Within a subject, the same year, the relationship between each other can be determined and the corresponding relationship can be determined. The posts of apprenticeship submitted by Su Budong before can also be regarded as posts.
"No, I'm writing your door post." Chen Qingdi said.
"My door sticker?" Subu Dongqi said: "Can Mr. Jiang write a door sticker for one of the thirteen old men? Who am I worshipping?"
"Jiang said he wanted to be your boss, so he volunteered to write a door post for you. As for whom you want to come, you will discuss it later." Chen Qingdi opened the car door and asked Su Budong to get off the car.
"Did it be arranged by Mr. Xiao?" Su Budong stepped out one of his feet and asked casually.
"I don't know." Chen Qingdi said.
Who knew that Su Budong had a round mind and didn't get off the bus. "John, please visit me again this day, and take me to find Mr. Xiao first."
"What's wrong?" Chen Qingdi said strangely.
"Listen to me, leave quickly." Su Budong didn't explain too much. Helplessly, Chen Qingdi had to return to the car and let the driver drive away.
A middle-aged man had already walked to the door and was about to welcome guests, but he could not help but watch the car go away.
"I don't know what I'm raising!" the middle-aged man snorted coldly.
"Dad, did Su Budong notice something?" a young man asked behind the old man.
"What do you notice? I don't believe that Su Budong was so clear. He had only been here for a while and could know the subtle relationship within us. No one would talk to him too much. Chen Qingdi was useless. How did you tell him? Did you reveal any flaws?"
"No, I just told him to come here to pay homage to the pier, please write a door post."
"Su Budong is a little younger. Do you think he would not offend me if he doesn't come in? Passing by my door but not getting off the bus, this is disrespect to me! This is not over!" Mr. Jiang said hatefully.
At this time, the phone in his store rang.
Mr. Jiang answered the phone: "Mr. Qi..."
"How is it?" asked on the other end of the phone.
"He didn't come in." Mr. Jiang's sweat oozed out of his forehead.
"Didn't come in? What's going on? Didn't you say you're sure to get it?" The person on the other end of the phone said a little unkind.
"This kid arrived at the front of the store, didn't get off the car, and left directly." Jiang Ye said hatefully: "All the backhands are not easy to use."
"This kid is slippery, afraid he noticed something wrong. Forget it, you have been recorded in this way. Xiao Shuyan's old guy won't let you go easily. Think about how to excuse yourself at that time."
"Master Qi, you can't ignore me." When Master Xiao was told, Master Jiang was afraid of being recorded by Master Xiao.
"You can't die, at most you just lose your skin. You blame yourself for doing this. If you do something stupid, you will lose your skin and have a long memory. Don't think that no one can see through those tricks. There are so many smart people in the world, you are not the only one." The other hung up the phone.
"How did he notice Ma Dan Subudong?"
"Brother Su, why leave?" Chen Qingdi was still in the dark.
"You have made a taboo in this matter." Su Budong didn't say much: "Go to Mr. Xiao, admit his mistake quickly. Don't argue, do you know?" Su Budong was also nervous, okay, he almost said as soon as he got off the plane.
This student post is not so easy to remember and write. It is all due to the fact that when Li Yunxuan wrote a post for him to become a disciple, he told him about the post. The name is not right and the words are not right. He and Mr. Jiang are not close to each other. Why do others have to write a student post for you as soon as they come up?
So Su Budong's heart turned a few times and knew that things were not that simple, so he went to Xiao Shuyan to ask for it clearly.
After driving for thirty minutes, I arrived at Xiao Shuyan's residence. Behind the downtown Chinatown, there was a sign "Another Village". Taking the elevator to the top floor was Xiao Shuyan's residence.
There were about a dozen disciples at the door who were stationed, asked about Su Budong and Chen Qingdi's identities, and then they reported it.
After a while, the two met Xiao Shuyan surrounded by four young people.
Xiao Shuyan asked the four young men to leave.
"Oh, isn't this Su Da's awesome?" Xiao Shuyan was drinking tea in a wheelchair. When he saw Su Budong, he said with a smile.
"It's not amazing, I almost said as soon as I landed." Su Budong said with a smile.
"Second Master, I was wrong." Chen Qingdi then felt a little savored and admitted his mistake to Mr. Xiao.
"Oh, what's wrong with Hero Chen? I'm a little confused." A trace of splendor flashed in Xiao Shuyan's eyes. Su Budong knew about this and most of the old man knew about it.
Chen Qingdi reported the matter to Xiao Shuyan in a simplified manner. Xiao Shuyan didn't say much, "Elder Jiang wants to be the master of the master and gain a reputation. Who hasn't this person yet? Okay, this matter is over like this. I ask you, Su Dali, who do you want to be your master?"
"I want to find Chen Baliang." Su Budong entered the Hongmen and found him, so it is legitimate to be the master.
"Although Tang Kai written by Baliang is a bit frustrated, fortunately, there is no problem with the person." Xiao Shuyan didn't say it was good or bad.
