C836 Freshmen (1/2)
Ma Zijian and the others were not alone. With the help of the powerful officials of the Ryukyu and the people of the Ryukyu, an operation to save the Heaven veterans was under way.
Mai Lan, Singapore, Jakarta, San Bao Yan, Si Shui, Manila... Wherever the Chinese are gathering, Ryukyu military officers with two or three people in a group will appear. They will carry the flag of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Xiao Letian and appear in front of the colonists.
The Ryukyu had embassies or offices in all regions of Southeast Asia, so they communicated with the local Chinese Shang frequently. In those remote cities without official institutions, the Letian Firm and the branches of banks also assumed the role of focal points.
Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea once said that outside of the country, the Chinese have the duty to help the Chinese. This kind of help is not to directly give money, but to provide all kinds of administrative and legal support.
It was precisely because of Xiao Letian that in this era, although the Chinese people of Southeast Asia were still suffering, and were still being oppressed, compared to the suffering of their previous life, it was already much better.
No one dared to stop the officers of the Ryukyu from moving. Even the British, French and Dutch colonists were happy to see the unstable people being summoned by Xiao Letian.
The reason was simple, these Heaven veterans were too difficult to deal with. In many places, there were already signs of riots, the valiant veterans were not people that the aboriginal monkeys could deal with.
Now that Xiao Letian was able to take away their elites and core members, he was truly eager to do so. Moreover, Ryukyu was even giving him money, it was not like he was forcing him to tear up your employment contract.
What? Your Lord doesn't agree? Do you think the Ryukyu doesn't give us a lot of money? Haha, then go bargain with the Chinese.
The Ryukyu does not bully you. Just by letting the Letian Firm and the banks come forward, there are a hundred ways to prevent your rubber garden, tin mine, and farm's output from being sold, not to mention borrowing money from any bank.
That was such a great labor. Back then, he had only spent a silver coin to squeeze the owner to death, and in the past two years, which one of them hadn't earned their boss a few thousand silver coins? But now, Xiao Letian had snatched that away.
”Xiao Letian, you will die a horrible death …” Countless local merchants were roaring at the north, but only in their native languages, of course, where they had to recite.
Bundles of contracts were thrown into the bonfire. Countless students from the Ryukyu rushed to the beach in the darkness with ink bottles in their hands. They placed the tables on the beach and started lighting up the lamps.
”That big guy …” What about you? Why aren't you paying attention at all? Can't you see that I'm busy? ”Turn on the mine lamp …”
A seventeen to eighteen year old student unceremoniously shouted at Ma Zijian and Luo Gou. Surprisingly, these two uprising executors of the Heaven veterans, who had killed aboriginals and monkeys, were not angry at all as they obediently came over to help.
This was what a scholar should be like. Two valuable glass films were placed on his nose, they were called glasses. Those who were truly learned had to watch two glass films, the thicker the knowledge, instead of looking at their age.
Luo Gou was very strict with General Tie's words, they couldn't be wrong.
Ma Zijian looked at the students who were using ink brush to write lines of delicate writing, and his eyes shone with envy. How great, that Ryukyu was simply a paradise.
In Ma Zijian's heart, it didn't matter if he ate the Furze Grass or worked himself to death; it didn't matter if his employer scolded him. As long as the place he lived in was peaceful, it would be heaven.
How can one see if a place is peaceful or not? Didn't they say that there is no war and that there is no place in this world where there is no war? Seeing how peaceful a place was and seeing how many scholars there were, if every family could afford to support university students, then that place would definitely be too peaceful.
In this chaotic world, people all went to study martial arts. Where would there be people who knew how to study literature? If my brothers were not killed by the Purging Demons, they would probably be at the same age. My elder brother is my father, and I will definitely not let him train in martial arts, it's too bitter. My brother will have to study, and in the future, he will be like this university student, using ink brush to write lines of delicate characters.
