Chapter 127: The Arrival of New Immigrants

"Our governor, Mr. Robinson, is impeccable in both morals and abilities, but Mr. Liang has set a good example for him. Google search and read"

Gervin said after careful consideration that Robinson was not a useless person, but Liang Yao's performance in California was too dazzling.

Based on Ge Wen's understanding of governors of other states, Robinson was not inferior to governors of other states except for his lack of political experience.

Cowen listened to Ge Wen's words quietly, and he already had a clear answer in his mind.

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

Take New York for example, Buckhouse and Vanderbilt alone made it difficult for the New York government to deal with them, which was very troublesome.

"I understand. I will help you with the steel business. We have more important things to do right now. Let's go. I'll take you to meet some congressmen from Ohio and the neighboring states of Michigan and Indiana.

You are a congressman from Ohio, and it is the pride of our hometown to be a senator in the new state of California. It will be good for you and California to get to know these congressmen more."

As he said, Corwin stood up and tidied up his appearance and clothes. His servant knew that Mr. Corwin was going out, so he handed him a dark bowler hat made of fine alpaca wool from South America and a simple cane.

"Thank you for your introduction!"

Compared with Corwin's cane, Ge Wen's cane inlaid with Indian gems and California gold looked very luxurious.

After standing up, Ge Wen subconsciously put his hands behind his back and hid his cane behind him in a more natural posture.

"Don't hide it. California has produced a millionaire in just one year. As a new rich man in California, you must be worth at least one million dollars, right?"

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

"Don't waste the gift. Take the gift box with you. Maybe those congressmen will like your gift very much."

Gerwin 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. We can chat on the way."

Corwin waved to Corwin after getting on the carriage.

Gerwin happily got on Corwin's carriage. Maybe tomorrow those newspapers that are good at catching wind and shadows will have such news: California Senator Mr. Corwin and Treasury Secretary Mr. Corwin are riding in the same carriage, and they seem to be plotting something in the carriage.

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

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

"What Jinzhou! It has a proper name! It's called Jiafu or something."

An immigrant who claimed to be well-informed said, stroking his forehead, which had grown stubble, but he couldn't think of the proper place name after thinking for a long time.

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

Wu Yuanhua came out of the captain's room with a dozen Cantonese merchants, clapping his folding fan in his hand.

"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 Shuigen looked at the strange land in the distance with a confused look, and silently recited 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 the Golden State. Isn't the requirement of making a living too low? It must be a way to make money." Wu Yuanhua smiled, "Someone will arrange it for you after landing. Since Mr. Liang can bring you to California, he will never treat you badly."

"Make a fortune!"

"Make a fortune!"

"Buy land!"

"Get married!"

As soon as Wu Yuanhua said this, the immigrants on the California burst into shouts one after another.

This time, the port of San Francisco is very different from the last time Wu Yuanhua came to California.

The port is full of soldiers responsible for vigilance, and there are even cannons set up on the dock, ready to face the enemy.

Wu Yuanhua's heart suddenly tightened: Could something have happened in California?

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

The soldiers at the port are both Chinese and foreigners. Only Liang Yao's troops in the whole of America have such a mixed match.

"My brother's soldiers?"

Wu Yuanhua was skeptical, took the telescope from Sven, raised the telescope and looked at the dock.

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

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

Could it be that this guy donated money to become an official in America?

At the port of San Francisco, Liang Yao had already prepared for the immigrants.

The temporary resettlement site and the necessary living supplies for the new immigrants were also ready.

Sven brought more immigrants this time than he expected, as many as 3,450 people.

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

That is to say, it was overloaded by three times, no wonder Sven arrived in California so late.

Liang Yao had already made plans for how to arrange these immigrants.

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

He bought a lot of land in Los Angeles, not to mention more than 3,000 people, even more than 30,000 immigrants would be more than enough.

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

This is good for him to control Los Angeles.

Liang Yao has nothing to worry about the resistance of local white residents. He has contributed money, labor and materials to help Los Angeles rebuild, and those white people are grateful to him now.

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

Although Los Angeles and San Francisco are one world apart at the moment, after 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, we will talk about it next time, anyway, he is not in California now.

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

After landing in California, Liang Yao greeted Sven and Wu Yuanhua at the dock.
