1850 American Gold Tycoon

Chapter 127: The arrival of new immigrants

"Our Governor, Mr. Robinson, is impeccable both morally and in terms of ability. It's just that Mr. Liang is at the forefront, and Mr. Robinson is slightly inferior. Google search to read"

After careful consideration, Ge Wen said that Robinson was not a good-for-nothing person, but Liang Yao's performance in California was too dazzling.

Based on Gervin's knowledge of governors of other states, Robinson is no less qualified than governors of other states, except for lacking some political experience.

After Ke Wen listened to Ge Wen's words quietly, he already had a relatively clear answer in his heart.

For a new state with a population of only 100,000 people, he understood what it meant to have a multi-millionaire.

Take New York as an example. Backhouse and Vanderbilt alone made it difficult for the New York State government to deal with and it was a headache.

"I understand. I will help you connect the steel companies. Right now we have more important things to do. Let's go. I will take you to meet some of our congressmen from Ohio and the neighboring states of Michigan and Indiana. .

No matter what, it is also the pride of our hometown that you, a congressman from Ohio, can become a senator in the new state of California. Spending more time with these legislators would be good for you and California. "

As he spoke, Corwin stood up and straightened his appearance and clothes. Seeing this, his servant knew that Mr. Corwin was about to go out and handed him a deep-colored coat made of the finest alpaca wool from South America. bowler hat and a plain civilized staff.

"Thank you for the introduction!"

Compared with Corwin's civilized staff, Gervin's civilized staff inlaid with Indian gems and California gold seems very luxurious.

After standing up, Ge Wen subconsciously put his hands behind his back, hiding his civilization staff behind him in a more natural posture.

"Stop hiding it. Millionaires have appeared in California in just one year. As a newly wealthy person in California, you are worth a million dollars, right?"

Corwin couldn't help laughing, he pointed to the gift box on the ground and said.

"Don't waste your gifts. Bring the gift box. Maybe the congressmen will like your gift very much."

Ge Wen nodded hurriedly: "Yes, sir."

He picked up the gift box and followed Corwin closely, just like when he was Corwin's secretary.

"Take my carriage, and we can chat on the carriage on the way."

Corwin, who boarded the carriage, waved to Gavin and said.

Gervin happily boarded Corwin's carriage. Maybe tomorrow there will be such news in those newspapers that are good at catching rumors: Mr. Gervin, the Senator of California, and Mr. Corwin, the Secretary of the Treasury, rode in the same carriage. They seemed Something is being plotted in the carriage.

"Jinzhou! Jinzhou! Look, there is Jinzhou in front of us! We are coming!"

On the crowded steamship California, a Cantonese immigrant excitedly pointed to the looming land in the east and said.

"What Jinzhou! He has a serious name! He is called "house husband" or "you".

An immigrant who prided himself on being well-informed touched his stubble-grown forehead and said, "It's just that serious place name, but he couldn't think of it for a long time."

"It's California. This place is not comparable to any other state in the Qing Dynasty. It's bigger than even Guangdong."

Wu Yuanhua, flapping the folding fan in his hand, walked out of the captain's cabin with a dozen Guangdong merchants.

"Mr. Wu, you are still well-informed."

Another immigrant said in a flattering tone.

"California, this place is called California."

On the bow of the California, a young man named Huang Shuigan looked at the unfamiliar land in the distance with confused eyes, muttering her name in his heart.

"Mr. Wu, can you recommend a way to make a living after landing?" The immigrant who just called California the Golden State approached Wu Yuanhua and asked.

"You call this place Jinzhou. Isn't the requirement for living a living too low? It must be a way to make a fortune." Wu Yuanhua said with a smile, "Someone will make arrangements for you after you land. Since Mr. Liang can make you I won’t treat you badly if I bring it to California.”

"Get rich!"

"Get rich!"

"Buy land!"

"get married!"

As soon as Wu Yuanhua said this, the immigrants on the Californian broke out into shouts.

The Port of San Francisco this time is very different from the last time Wu Yuanhua came to California.

The port was full of soldiers on guard, and there were even cannons set up on the docks, as if they were ready for the enemy.

Wu Yuanhua's heart suddenly tightened: Could it be that something unexpected happened in California?

Captain Sven of the California put down his telescope, then patted Wu Yuanhua on the shoulder and said to the nervous Wu Yuanhua: "Don't worry, Mr. Wu, your brother's soldiers are all at the port."

The soldiers at the port included both Chinese and foreigners. Only Liang Yao's troops in the entire United States had such a mix.

"My brother's soldiers?"

Wu Yuanhua was doubtful, so he took the telescope from Sven's hand, raised it and looked towards the pier.

The soldiers wearing strange military uniforms were both foreigners and Chinese. After searching in the crowd for a while, Wu Yuanhua quickly found Liang Yao, who was wearing an officer's uniform.

Liang Yao seemed to be wearing a foreign saber around his waist. This image made Wu Yuanhua associate Liang Yao with the British foreign officers on Hong Kong Island.

Could it be that this guy donated his official position in the United States?

At the port of San Francisco, Liang Yao has made preparations to welcome immigrants.

Temporary resettlement sites and necessary living materials for the new immigrants have also been prepared.

Sven brought more immigrants than he expected this time, a full 3,450 people.

And he clearly remembered that the combined passenger capacity of these three steamships was only 1,160 people.

In other words, it was overloaded by three times. No wonder Sven arrived in California so late.

Liang Yao already had a plan in mind as to how to arrange these immigrants.

Los Angeles was hit hard and needed to be rebuilt, so we took this opportunity to resettle all these immigrants to Los Angeles.

He bought a large amount of land in Los Angeles. Not to mention more than 3,000 immigrants, it was more than enough to accommodate more than 30,000 immigrants.

Los Angeles has a small population. More than 3,000 immigrants can directly change the demographic structure of Los Angeles and instantly turn Los Angeles into a town dominated by Chinese.

This will be good for him to take control of Los Angeles.

Liang Yao has nothing to worry about the resistance of local white residents. He has provided money, effort and materials to help rebuild Los Angeles. It is too late for those white people to be grateful to him now.

Moreover, the current mayor of Los Angeles Town is also Chinese. Even if a few white people have opinions, these weak objections will not have much impact on him.

Although Los Angeles and San Francisco are on a par with each other at the moment, when the oil in Los Angeles is developed, the development prospects of Los Angeles will not be worse than that of San Francisco.

As for the more than 3,000 laborers promised to Vanderbilt, let’s talk about it next time, since he is not in California now anyway.

"Captain Sven, Brother Wu, long time no see."

After docking in California, Liang Yao greeted Sven and Wu Yuanhua on the dock.
