In Dallas, a small city that thrived on the cotton trade, the descendants of the slave owners were on the train station platform, whispering to each other and watching the rumbling train coming in the distance, spewing soot. These guys were all wearing black tuxedos.
, a top hat, and even a bow tie, looking as sanctimonious as a well-dressed man. Not far away, the niggas who were bending their waists like shrimps and struggling to walk to the truck carrying large bundles of cotton glanced sideways from time to time. These niggas
Occasionally, one or two Chinese coolies can be seen among the ghosts, carrying the same heavy goods in the same posture.
And those aristocratic girls who were kept in boudoirs were holding small flower umbrellas, wearing beautiful long skirts, and their small waists were stretched out by the winch. After standing in the sun for a long time, they all had shortness of breath, their faces were pale, and they were weak.
.
At this time, the train finally arrived at the station. Amidst the sound of the whistle, this special train with only four carriages and one flatbed slowly stopped. First, the doors of the three carriages opened, and dozens of burly men in black quickly rushed out.
, and then spread out to protect the luxury car in the middle. These guys with an average height of over 1.9 meters wore black glasses on their faces, held Lee Enfield rifles in their hands, and had weird-looking pistols on each side of their waists. Look.
He went up with murderous intent.
At the same time as these people got off the car, a black carriage was unloaded from the last flatbed carriage. Four white horses were pulled out from the fourth carriage. Then the coachman began to hitch the carriage. At this time, the eye-catching carriage on the carriage
The British royal family logo can be clearly seen, and there is an immediate exclamation on the platform, especially the ladies, who are staring at the carriages that have not yet been opened with starry eyes, looking forward to their fantasy
The prince in.
The car door finally opened, and the distinguished Governor and the distinguished Senator Howard appeared at the door. Then amid applause, the Governor shouted with honor: "We welcome our most distinguished guest, Mr. Yang from the United Kingdom."
Amidst the louder applause and the sound of the spotlights of the reporters' cameras, a man wearing a gorgeously embroidered black suit appeared between the two people. Immediately, everyone on the platform was stunned and amazed, especially the ladies.
Eyes, because the skin color of this person is no different from that of the Chinese who work as coolies.
This scene made the Chinese workers dumbfounded. They stopped their work one by one and stared at Yang Feng not far away with disbelief. Their behavior immediately aroused the dissatisfaction and scolding of the white supervisors.
and the sound of whips sounded immediately.
"Someone told me that the United States is a country of freedom and equality, but why do I see only slavery and whipping here? Does American law allow employers to use whips against their own workers?" Boss Yang pointed at this scene with dissatisfaction.
.
The governor next to him frowned and quickly winked at the Dallas County Sheriff who greeted them. Several police officers maintaining order immediately ran over to stop this move that damaged the image of the United States.
"Mr. Yang, I think this is just an accident." Howard said to Yang Feng with a smile on his face.
"I hope this is just an accident!" Boss Yang said coldly. It seemed that this scene greatly ruined his good mood. The distinguished guest didn't even say any polite words, and directly got into the car with
The carriage with the emblem of the British royal family.
Behind him, Senator Howard and the governor looked at each other helplessly, and then whispered a few words to the Dallas County Sheriff. The Dallas County Sheriff looked at each other confusedly and the Dallas Mayor, who hesitated.
He nodded, and a city-wide inspection began to deal with Boss Yang. All employers who hired Chinese people strictly prohibited any corporal punishment and abuse of Chinese workers before Boss Yang left. As for after this guy left...
Who will he perform for now that he's gone?
However, it seems that this incident has deeply hurt Boss Yang. At the welcome banquet that night, he was not in a very good mood. The originally rumored investment and construction of a factory in Dallas was not mentioned again.
He hurriedly left Dallas the next day and headed to Longview, the main destination of his trip. The next step was his enclosure movement.
Because there were too many places in this circle, including most of the land in Gregg County and Rux County, and more importantly, he also included Longview. Although there were not many people here at this time, in fact, in modern times
The total population of the two counties combined is just over 100,000, and there are even fewer people at this time. Even the county seat of Wax is just a small village, and Longview is at most a small town.
But even if he wants to ask the whole family to move out for him, it is difficult to explain. There is no need for him to come forward for these things. It has always been the people from the state government and the two county magistrates who are responsible for the negotiations. I guess these guys
In order to be greedy, I am not willing to spend too much money to send these lumberjacks away.
"This won't work. My time is very precious, and you have to understand that the longer these people delay, the greater their appetite will be. As time goes by, their asking price may increase exponentially. The most effective means must be adopted." Yang Da
The boss said dissatisfiedly that he had returned to Dallas now because he was worried about safety issues. Those lumberjacks all had guns. If they got angry and shot him, he would be in trouble.
The Governor of Texas, Senator Howard, and the two county commissioners looked at each other sadly.
"No, you can send out the police to evict them! The state government announced the abolition of these two counties, and then forcibly evicted all migrant workers here who do not have permanent land ownership. If the police fail, they will be replaced by the National Guard.
As for those who own land, agree to sell it to them at the price you are negotiating now and let them leave immediately. For those who do not agree, first pick a few leaders and charge them with charges and send them to prison. What?
When the transaction is agreed upon and when it is released.
If you really can't find a crime, find a group of people who do the dirty work and use some extreme measures on them. If that doesn't work, kill one or two. I'll give you another half month. If you still haven't solved this problem after half a month.
, then this business will be cancelled, or the Florida government will be more efficient." Boss Yang said dissatisfiedly while drinking ice-cold wine in the sunken hotel.
The four Howards looked at each other, and the Senator said viciously: "First arrest the mayor of Longview and accuse him of corruption. Then find someone to testify against him. I will arrange for several lawyers to take over."
The head of Gregg County nodded and said, "No problem. I remember that two months ago, he just received a hundred dollars from a foreign timber dealer. I will contact this person and give him five hundred dollars. He will definitely do it."
Come out to testify."
"Hey, that's right! Remember, we are the rulers. Don't be influenced by those bastards. Giving them money is charity. Since it is shameless to give them face, there is no need to give them face again." Yang Feng was very satisfied.
explain.
"But in order to prevent them from causing trouble, and also to scare them, I think it's best to call in the National Guard and call it up nearby in Dallas," said the mayor of Texas County.
The governor hesitated.
"Tell the mayor of Dallas that if you help him with this, I will not only give him $5,000, but I will also build a pesticide factory in Dallas to specialize in the production of pesticides." Yang Feng said immediately.
He has been thinking about this for a long time. Organophosphorus cannot be guaranteed for the time being. Organochlorine is not difficult. In fact, both 666 and DDT have been invented, but no one has applied it to pesticides, especially DDT.
, this thing is not only used in pesticides, but is also very effective in medicine.
The original inventor seems to be an Austrian. If you find him, if you don't apply for a patent, you will become an engineer for yourself. If you apply for a patent, you will buy it. This kind of patent that no one cares about can only cost a few dollars.
Since there is such a good thing, what does the mayor of Dallas have to hesitate? Moreover, Boss Yang's investment plan also solved the resistance of the local council. The governor soon signed an order, and a National Guard of hundreds of people was deployed.
Dallas gathered together, and then led by the county magistrates of the two counties in person, they attacked Longview aggressively.
Immediately afterwards, the mayor of Longview, who had previously led citizens to resist, was arrested on corruption charges. However, during the process of arresting him, the National Guard clashed with armed Longview citizens, and a National Guard soldier was killed.
Two of the other party also died.
At this time, the governor of Texas immediately found an excuse. In the name of the Longview rebellion and the armed protection of corrupt criminals, he once again sent more National Guard troops to join in the counterinsurgency, and used a regiment of troops to defend Longview. At the same time, he sent people
An announcement was made in Longview that all those who accepted the conditions for relocation would immediately go out to collect money and leave. Those who remained here would be treated as rebels and eliminated directly.
Only then did the group of lumberjacks wake up and knew that this was serious business. In less than a day, there were less than fifty diehards left in Longview. These guys claimed to defend their land to the death. In this case
Then the governor had no choice but to grant their wishes. Anyway, their armed attack on the state police could be considered a rebellion.
A regiment of the National Guard immediately launched an attack on Longview, quelling the rebellion in less than an hour, and all the rebels were eliminated.
"Yes, this is the performance of a strong government. The governor's courage is admirable. Now I think we should talk about the price of this land. How about 1.5 million?" Yang Feng was satisfied.
said.
"Mr. Yang, we Texans are the most honest, and we will never deceive our friends. The land you want is only worth US$700,000 at most." The governor said with a sincere face.
"Isn't it too little?" Yang Feng said.
"It's quite a lot. If you think this number is appropriate, we can give you some for free," the governor said.
