Chapter six hundred and eighty seventh grab people

Xiya ate very full last night and stayed on the boat for so long. As soon as she got ashore, people usually experience a symptom of land dissipation, just like a person who would have seasickness on the first time he took a boat.

As the boat takes a long time, it will also feel very uncomfortable when it first boards land.

It is precisely this reason, so after returning to the residence arranged for them in the city after dinner, Xiya fell asleep immediately and didn't have time to visit the yard where she lived. It was not until this morning when the sun was exposed.

Ya finally woke up from her beautiful dream.

When Xiya opened her eyes, she found that the house was still dark. She got up and looked at the parents next to her, but found that they were sleeping soundly. Xiya was a very sensible child, and she put on her shoes lightly.

, walked out of the bedroom and walked around the living room, and finally walked into the yard. It was not until here that Siya began to look at her new residence.

This is a small courtyard with a not-so-large area. Behind Xiya is the main house of this courtyard. In addition to the living room in the middle, both sides can be used as bedrooms. In front of the main house is a small courtyard, on the right side.

It is a neat room that can be used to check in for guests. On the left is a kitchen. Xiya walked in curiously and found that there was a stove and iron pot for cooking in the kitchen, and even half a bag next to it.

Rice and firewood.

Thea remembers that the person who received them yesterday said that from this morning, they had to cook by themselves, but she didn't expect that the ingredients for the cooking were ready, which made her very grateful. Thea used to be

I had drunk rice porridge on the boat and saw how the chefs on the boat made rice porridge. At that time, she knew that she might use it in the future, so she wrote it down.

In fact, in Xiya's opinion, making rice porridge is similar to cooking broth in the tribe. Both of them need to boil water and then put rice or meat in it. However, Xiya's first time making rice porridge, I don't know three people

How many rice to add, I had to add a bowl of rice in the end. As a result, the rice porridge was too thick and I couldn't even pour it into the pot.

Just as Xiya had just finished the rice porridge, she suddenly heard someone beating the door outside, which made Xiya a little surprised. Their family had just moved here and didn't know anyone at all. And it was early in the morning, and the person who got up

Very rarely. Who will come at this time?

Although she was surprised, Xiya walked quickly to the front door and opened a gap. What surprised her was that there was a carriage parked outside, and there was a Han girl of similar age sitting on the carriage.

The person knocking on the door was a young Han man in his twenties, who was now looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Who are you looking for?" Xiya said vigilantly. Although the officials who received them yesterday promised that they were very safe in Coconut City, Xiya had long developed the habit of being vigilant in the tribe. Especially now, she is still in the same place.

A relatively unfamiliar place.

The young Han people are also very smart characters, and they immediately saw the vigilance in Xiya's eyes. They immediately showed a kind smile and said, "Hello, little girl, my name is Malin, and I am also a resident of Coconut City. My little one is in the car

Sister, I heard that you had just moved here yesterday, so I prepared some meat and vegetables, and some canned food for everyone. It can also be regarded as a little bit of landlord friendship for the people of our Coconut City.”

Xiya blinked her beautiful big eyes and thought about it carefully before she realized that the other party was giving them something, which made Xiya relax her vigilance. However, before Xiya could thank her, the one in the car was as old as hers.

The similar girl jumped out of the car at this time, ran over quickly and stared at Xiya curiously and said, "Hehe, I finally met a girl. Hello, my name is Ma Xiaoyu, what's your name?"

"My name is Xiya." Looking at the spirited Han girl in front of her, Xiya said nervously. This was also the first time she had come into contact with her peers among the Han people, so she seemed a little at a loss.

Xiangmalin was a human being. She was afraid that his naughty sister would scare her, so she immediately interrupted them and said, "Okay, you two have time to spend together in the future, so let's move the things to the yard first!"

Although Ma Xiaoyu was naughty, she knew that the main thing was important, so she greeted Xiya with friendly words, then turned around and started to help with things. Xiya naturally came forward to help. Because the weather in Java was hot, meat and vegetables could not last long.

So the Marin brothers and sisters gave Xiya not much meat and vegetables, but the canned food that can be stored for a long time was moved down two large boxes.

Just as they moved things into the yard, Xiya's parents also woke up. They were stunned when they saw Marin. It was not until Xiya explained to them that Xiya's parents were happy and went to Marin's brother and sister.

The person expressed his gratitude and helped them move things, and Marin took this opportunity to introduce each other to Xiya's parents.

After moving the things, Marin suddenly said to Thea's father: "Brother Sam, you have settled in Coconut City now. I wonder if you have any plans in the future?"

Sam is the father of Thea. He is only 30 years old this year. He used to be a very good hunter in the tribe and has a relatively honest personality. After hearing Marin's question, he immediately replied: "This adult who received us last night has already

I said, let’s rest for a few days first, and they will arrange our work to do it at that time, and we will definitely not be as hungry and full as we used to in the tribe.”

When Malin heard Sam's answer, his eyes lit up and said anxiously: "Brother Sam, I have heard of your arrangements. Generally speaking, they will definitely give you two choices. The first is

Give you a piece of land and let you farm yourself. The second is to find you a job, such as doing some hard work in the port, or building a house in the government construction team, etc., and these jobs are generally very hard

, The reward is not very high, you must be mentally prepared for this."

When Sam heard this, he said with some worries: "We used to be able to hunt in the tribe and never planted food at all, so we can only follow the government's arrangements. I am not afraid of hard work, but Brother Ma said the reward was low.

, I wonder if I can support our family?"

Coconut City is a newly built port city. The construction of the city and the port are the most scarce, so Sam and the others are indeed likely to be arranged there. Although these jobs are hard and the rewards are not very high, they are actually relatively.

For example, for the Sam family, it is still easy to support the whole family if Sam is only required to go out alone.

However, Marin obviously had other purposes, so he did not answer Sam's question positively, but instead changed the topic: "Brother Sam, I see that you are strong and proficient in hunting. I believe you must be good at your skills, not as good as you

How about going to our plantation as a supervisor? This job is not only easy, but also has a good reward. The most important thing is that you can take your sister-in-law to be a chef. As for Xiya, she is about the same age as my little sister, and you can

What do you think about going to school with her?"

Marin's fox tail was finally revealed. He did not give things for free today, but instead used the name of giving things to win over his relationship with these Americans, and then recruited them to work in his own plantation.

The Marin family runs the largest plantation in Coconut City, employing more than 20 supervisors and nearly a thousand slaves. Just from the numbers, you can tell that the number of supervisors is obviously insufficient, but nowadays, there are few people everywhere, from slaves.

The selection of supervisors at the middle school cannot be reassured, so after hearing the news of the arrival of the Americans, the Ma family immediately mobilized everyone to mobilize them. Even Malin even brought his twelve-year-old sister, which shows that they

A eagerness to attract people.

In fact, it is not just the Marin family. Almost all the planters around Coconut City rushed back to the city after hearing the news of the arrival of the Americans. They either acted privately like the Ma family or directly found the official government.

, asked the government to assign some personnel to them, but they all have their own ways.

The news of the owners of the major plantation robbing people was quickly reported to Xu Jingzong. As a result, the governor Xu, who had not yet gotten up, suddenly jumped out of the bed and directly ordered officials at all levels to take action immediately and concentrate all Americans.

, and then arrange to work in ports and other places according to their wishes.

For these Americans who arrived, Xu Jingzong really wanted to arrange them to work in the two industries of ports and construction. After all, this was directly related to his political achievements. However, he did not expect that the big planters would act so quickly.

He rushed into the city and snatched people.

Moreover, Xu Jingzong could not directly order others not to contact Americans. After all, Daqi is more concerned about freedom and government orders cannot be issued randomly. Otherwise, if it causes dissatisfaction among the people, he can directly complain to the inspector's office, and may even be reported by the newspaper.

He, as the governor, cannot afford to be guilty. So he could only arrange all the people in the ports and construction industries before the time comes, and cook the raw rice and cook the contract after the contract is signed.

Even if Americans want to change jobs, they have to wait until the contract expires.

Xu Jingzong's reaction was very fast. The officials at all levels of Coconut City were also extremely efficient. He quickly organized all Americans to the square and gave them two choices. One was to give them land and let them work on their own.

, However, among the Americans, except for the Mayans, most of them hunt for a living, so they don’t know how to farm at all, so no one wants land at all, so most people choose to work.

However, Xu Jingzong was obviously a step slower. Planter owners like the Ma family have already finalized recruitment agreements with many Americans. Men usually go to supervise or defend, and women can also become the chefs of the plantation.

Moreover, the reward is higher than in the docks and construction industries, so in the end, there were only more than 2,300 Americans who were willing to listen to the government's arrangements, and even less than half of the total number, which made officials such as Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu.
