Act 20: Visitors from the South

Doug put a few dry qualified canvases with wooden dice into a canvas bag and took a bus to Yale University.

When he was in the car, he tried to read the newspaper clipping book, but he gave up after just a few glances.

Not only is it because the sky is dim and the light is insufficient, but also because of the constant trembling carriage, the notebook is constantly shifting up and down slightly, making people unable to concentrate at all.

Reading books and newspapers in this state is not about learning knowledge and mastering information, but about destroying one's own eyes.

Doug not only carried a suitcase, but also held a civilized stick. He even hung several canvas bags around his waist, looking a little bloated. He leaned against the backrest of the carriage, closed his eyes and thought about his next plan.

Although everything is still going well now, the funds he holds are all borrowed from New Haven Eagle Bank.

According to the agreement and signed with Bank President William and the bank, after receiving the payment, Doug's debts were expanding rapidly no matter what he was doing.

It is not easy to outperform your debt.

Doug put his hand into his trouser pocket and stroked the silver coins in his pocket. That was the first money he earned after coming to this world.

As a materialist, he never thought of treating it as a lucky coin. He would not think that carrying this coin would bring favor to the goddess of destiny.

The purpose of his leaving this coin is very clear, which is to encourage himself to work hard to make money.

Every time he touched this coin, Doug would think of himself, who was wandering between the trash cans, hungry and cold.

The smell of foulness, the lingering flies, the spitting eyes.

I witnessed one homeless man after another lying on the roadside and sleeping forever.

Helplessly hide medical students who have no autopsy and who also create autopsy to avoid becoming their "general teachers".

Fear and helpless.

No sense of security at all.

Doug has lived that kind of life!

To get rid of all this, you must have money.

If you have money, you have power, and if you have money, you can control the whole world!

Doug thought about the skyrocketing debt on his body, and smiled and murmured, "My time is very valuable."

Being able to borrow money is also a kind of ability, right?

Doug thought of the plan he wrote for William, and the smile on his lips became even stronger.

He opened his eyes with brisk spirits, and the carriage happened to enter the main entrance of Yale University.

Doug paid the car again with big fuss. He looked like he had taken the spring (harmony) medicine and left with a red face. He thought money was really a good thing.

Maybe the coachman will return home tonight and can revive the man's might?

The salon he was going to attend today was not in the cafe yesterday, but in another teahouse.

As you can see from the meeting place where the teahouse is, this salon is more pro-English than the one from yesterday.

After all, the UK consumes a huge amount of tea every year, and tea leaves are like lubricants in dirty land, becoming the lubricant for British industrialization.

Doug pushed the door and entered the teahouse. The first floor was silent, with only three or two kittens.

He had not shown the invitation when he entered the second floor. He heard many voices when he joined the salon that had been going on since afternoon tea time to the present day.

“I think we should accept the conditions in the UK!

What's wrong with importing British goods?

Isn’t it good for us to be a source of raw materials?

Why do we have to be industrialized?

My uncle's house is in the south, and his family owns a large plantation. Every year, just watch the black slaves work and receive goods on time, and they can live a better life than in the UK!

Using British industrial products and eating delicacies from various colonies, the entire British Empire is serving my uncle!

Don't you want to live like this?

Why do we want to industrialize?

In the industrialized north, is life as good as the south?

Look at the haze in the sky and the filthy rivers.

Give up industrialization!

What we need is not industrialization, but plantation!”

A guy who looks at the color of the hair is Irish standing on the table with passion.

When he finished his speech, the listeners contributed a group of applause.

Although the reaction was not enthusiastic, someone still kept calling out and shouting:

"Don't pollute! Don't industrialize!

Don’t pollute! Don’t industrialize!

You want a plantation! You want pastoral songs!

You want a plantation! You want pastoral songs!”

Doug smiled when he watched their performance. It could be seen that they "infiltrated" from the south.

Life in the south may be as beautiful as he said, but it only belongs to a few people, to planters who own more than ten slaves and large tracts of land.

Ordinary white people, even if they can be called slave owners, have at most one or two slaves. They have to work with slaves to work for the master of large plantations, and their lives are not necessarily more comfortable than in the north.

Originally, the two economic systems in the north and south were all their own, but in recent years, the economy in the north has encountered problems and is extremely eager for the huge market in the south to ease the crisis.

However, planters in the south felt that the things produced by the Yankees in the north were of poor quality and expensive, and were all copied from Britain.

We directly connect with the British Empire, why do we use your low-quality and high-priced Western shell products?

When the northerners found that this failed, they raised the banner of justice. They promoted the injustice of the southern plantation economy and claimed that blacks should also have human rights. They also infiltrated the south based on railway lines, assisting black slaves to escape the plantation and rescue them to the north.

In a series of propaganda in the north, people gradually agreed that blacks should have human rights, and the plantation economy in the south is evil, and those who participate in the "railway organization" and go to the south to rescue black slaves are heroes.

Many young people from the north also embarked on the journey of saving black slaves because of their sense of honor.

However, in the eyes of southerners, this is undoubtedly a theft.

Almost all black people in the south have masters. The meaning of black slaves to their masters is assets, such as the horses of coachmen and the steam engines of factory owners.

The northerners "liberate" black slaves, which means stealing assets worth up to two or three hundred or even four or five hundred dollars.

How could the South be stolen unilaterally? On the one hand, they sent pursuit teams to recover the stolen black slaves, and on the other hand, they also sent people to infiltrate the north and carry out various publicity activities.

Promote "The plantation economy is the best economic model."

Promote "Give up industrialization and embrace pastoral music."

The person preaching in the teahouse at this moment undoubtedly came from the south, and exported their southern values ​​to these young people who tended toward Britain.

Doug has no universal value, nor does he think that anyone is kind or evil.

In his world, whoever makes him profit is his friend, and whoever makes him loses is his enemy.

Doug is still too weak and lacks capital at this moment. Even if he participates in the dispute between the north and the south, he will not gain much profit except wasting precious time.

He glanced at the salon and found two "acquaintances" he had met yesterday, one was medical student Gilbert and the other was Thompson.

"Hi! Brother Thompson! We're meeting again! Look at what I brought, I brought five "Monopoly".

Friends around you are curious about what "Monopoly" is?

Let me show you my proud work "Monopoly"!"

Doug attracted everyone's attention with his dramatic tone and exaggerated movements. He threw all the canvas bags around his waist towards Thompson, and then cleared the tabletop like last time and spread his cloth.

Everyone's eyes were gathered on Doug.

As for the two young men from the south, one stood on the table and the other stood under the table, all hanging there.
