027 No time to explain, get in the car
There are still many documents in the 21st century that record this history, and in almost all the documents, the American people welcomed students from the Qing Empire.
It is obvious that they are all beautifications of art. The real fact is that these children from the mysterious ancient empire in the far east were watched by Americans as soon as they arrived in San Francisco. This kind of "watching" was of course not kind.
If the people under the Qing government were ignorant at this time, then the Americans' quality was not very good, especially in California, which was even Mexico's territory twenty years ago. In the 1848 US-Mexico War, the United States took away half of Mexico's territory, and the California region became American territory at this time.
Before 1848, San Francisco was not called San Francisco, but Eva Buena, also known as San Francisco. Before 1848, there were even more than 800 people in the entire area of San Francisco. However, after the discovery of the gold mine, the population here surged to 25,000 in just three months, and a considerable number of them were Chinese who were trafficked here to start mining.
The United States is an immigrant country. If all Americans were dilapidated, criminals, and adventurers who could not survive in Europe, then the same is true in California now. Because of the American Westward Movement Movement, many Americans who had no chance on the East Coast came to the west and participated in the vigorous Westward Movement Movement Movement. Don’t think that these people are of high quality. Perhaps their clothes are very similar to those of gentlemen and ladies. In fact, they are almost the same as those criminals who just arrived on the American continent a hundred years ago.
Before Mike found the carriage, Li Mu used this time to popularize some knowledge about San Francisco to the Yan family.
The effect is still very obvious. After Li Mu finished speaking, the panic that the Yan family had originally looked at the foreigners around him quickly disappeared, replaced by disdain and contempt.
Although the Yan family had a low social status in the Qing Empire as slaves, they always worked in the royal palace and were honest and honest people and never committed crimes. Psychologically, they still had an advantage in the "criminals" mentioned by Li Mu.
This is a problem of understanding the world. Before, the Yan family had the impression that foreigners were all "foreign masters", and were the superiors of the privileged class, and the masters who even officials of the Qing Empire had to be careful to serve. So when facing foreigners, the Yan family naturally lowered their heads psychologically, and felt inferior and panic from the bottom of their hearts.
It’s different now. After Li Mu exposed the old truths of these foreigners, the Yan family immediately had the concept of “foreigners are nothing more than that”.
This concept is actually true. The Chinese world has the tradition of "parents are not traveling far away". Generally speaking, unless the hometown encounters natural disasters and man-made disasters and lives are in danger, Chinese people will not leave their hometowns. In the Chinese ideological system, the concept of "people leave their hometowns and are humble" is deeply rooted in people's hearts. If there is a little way, people will not leave their hometowns to explore the world. Since these foreigners in front of them are all pitiful people who have left their hometowns, then they are nothing great.
Changes in thought will definitely be reflected in actions, so Mike, who came back with two carriages, was a little surprised.
"What's wrong with them? What magic did you cast on them?" Of course Mike could feel that, even if he left for a while, the Yan family looked at him without much awe, and even pity, which really surprised Mike.
If you follow Li Mu's theory to put a microphone, then microphone will be an absolute "poor person".
Think about it, Mike is an American who went to the Far East to make a living, and the United States is another immigrant country. This means that Mike was not satisfied with his life in Europe, and then came to the United States from Europe. But he still didn't make it out in the United States, so he really couldn't go to the Far East again-
How miserable this is, it almost takes a circle around the earth!
Li Mu did not explain, and after Mike took the initiative to help Li Mu open the carriage door, Li Mu got on the carriage.
There is no way, who made Li Mu the creditor of Mike? There is no such thing as "those who owe debts are the masters" these days. People are still very simple. It is natural to repay debts. If you can't pay them back, you will be your grandson honestly.
Mike followed Li Mu on the same carriage, and Chuxue also came up with him.
Chuxue's current identity is Li Mu's personal maid. Since she is "close-fitting", she must look a little "close-fitting". It is just a basic requirement to keep pace with her.
Close the car door, and the quiet inside and the noisy outside the car were two worlds. Although the noise outside was still coming in through the carriage with poor sound insulation, in a closed and narrow space, the sense of security was still much greater. At least Li Mu obviously heard Chuxue breath.
"We have to go to Kingsoft Hotel first. This is the destination reserved by the Young Children's Outbound Education Bureau. Let's have a break at the Kingsoft Hotel, and then we take the train to Springfield in New England. That will be the last stop of our long journey-" In the carriage, Mike was busy introducing the next itinerary, but Li Mu's mind was not on this.
Just as Li Mu and his friends were seated in the car, the number of international students with a total of 30 people was still lined up on the dock. Old Man Chen was communicating with an official from a young child who seemed to have arrived in San Francisco in advance. Opposite the queue of international students, several Americans who looked like journalists were busy. They wanted to take a few photos to serve as promotional materials for the next period of time.
Children no longer have any fear of the new thing about cameras. They had already taken a photo together when they boarded the ship in Shanghai, and now they are just curious.
Yan Shun performed very well. Although he was an impostor, Yan Shun was not very reserved. He did whatever other children did. Moreover, because of his tall figure, Yan Shun always stood in the last row of the team, which made Yan Shun look like everyone else.
Soon, under the command of the photographer, the children lined up in an orderly manner on the dock and took the first group photo of their arrival in mainland America.
The carriage that had been waiting next to him had finally arrived. The children got on the bus one after another. Only then did Yan Shun look for Li Mu a little uneasy.
Li Mu was prepared for a long time, so he pushed open the carriage door and poked out half of his body to make a quiet gesture for Yan Shun. After seeing Yan Shun get on the carriage, he felt relieved.
All the children looked very gentleman, except for the little fat man.
Just as Li Mu got on the carriage, the little fat man was punching and kicking Lao Zheng. Li Mu finally knew how many of the little fat man's entourage were. It was a team of more than 40 people, almost more than the number of officials from the young children who went abroad to study.
The little fat man has a special identity, so Old Man Chen dared not neglect and has prepared a carriage for the little fat man.
But the little fat man's servants were not guaranteed by the young children's overseas study bureau, so there was only one carriage, and the obvious problem was that no one in the little fat man's team seemed to speak English, so the little fat man was a little anxious.
"Hey, fat man, do you want to go with me?" Li Mu opened the car door and invited the little fat man.
The little fat man ran over quickly, opened the car door and got in.
"What did you call me just now? You are so ruthless, I have to let you know that Prince Ma has three eyes--" The fat man's first words made Li Mu urge to drive people out of the car.
