Chapter 125: California in 1920
1920 - United States -
The town of Woodcart is a small town located on the west coast of California, USA. It is about 400 kilometers away from San Francisco. Here is a gathering place for lumberjacks...
Originally, this was just a desolate mountainous area, but since the industrialization process in the United States accelerated, the demand for various resources, especially timber resources, has increased. The unique mangrove forests all over the West Coast have attracted gold prospectors from all over the United States to come here to log for profit.
And the town of Woodcart is a product of this deformed industry. Woodcart translates to the meaning of loggers. It is conceivable what the people gathered here do.
After five o'clock in the afternoon, the workers finished their day's work, but they didn't go home immediately, but gathered in the only bar in the small town to drink and chat... This is their attitude towards life, to have fun in time.
It's just that today, they didn't have the leisure and leisure of the past, because today they all got the notification from the boss...
They are unemployed because the state government has sold all the mangroves along the coast to a private person. From then on, they can only hope that that person also wants to do logging, and there are not enough people to hire them... To be precise, they The current town belongs to the private 093 territory from today onwards.
"Damn rich man, then why doesn't the rich go to London or San Francisco to wave his banknotes, and insist on coming here to make us lose everything!" John the lumberjack drank beer, venting his dissatisfaction.
"Speak less, John!" said the foreman Posuter, "Who told us not to own the land here? To be exact, we even built our house on the land of the state government, and we didn't pay them a penny. Taxes, how could they turn towards us!"
"Shit, we lumberjacks, can we stay in one place for ten years? Why don't we leave after the tree is cut down? After the tree is cut down, why are we still here? Waiting to die?"
All the lumberjacks are just like the nomads in the past, cutting trees everywhere, and changing places after the trees are cut. As for the houses to live in, they are really too simple. month time.
"Okay, it's time for us to go back and clean up!" Another worker, Scott, drank the beer in front of him and stood up. "I'm going to try my luck in Texas, maybe someone needs a cowboy!"
"Good luck buddy!" XN
The other workers said with a smile, the foreman has already settled all the wages today, and gave them three days to move out of this town. If they are still in their private territory after the time, let's put it this way, the contract will be signed by then. If it takes effect, your life and death will not belong to you, because in the United States, private property is sacred and inviolable. If you enter other people's private territory without the owner's consent, it will be useless to kill you.
Three days later—
In the originally bustling town of Woodcart, it was desolate. There were no traces of living people here. No one wanted to challenge the constitution, or rather, no one dared to challenge the constitution in person...
A convoy of more than thirty cars drove into the town of Woodcart, and the convoy stopped at the gate of the town.
"Ah... this fucking 1920 car is unbearable!" Zhou Ye got out of the car, rubbed his buttocks, and complained: "There is no shock absorption, and there are people who are pulled by those cars everywhere on the road." I almost got motion sickness due to the small potholes made by the log trucks!"
"I'm sorry master, it's all my fault!" Dongfang Feng'er looked guilty, she didn't expect that the road conditions here would be so bad, making her master feel unhappy, this was her negligence as the head of the maids.
"Okay, Feng'er, I'm just complaining about the American Emperor's traffic!" Zhou Ye patted Feng'er to comfort her and said, "I don't mean to blame you!"
"Thank you, master!" Although Feng'er knew that her master was not angry, she was still very guilty. She was a little incompetent as the head maid who was in charge of the master's basic necessities of life.
Zhou Ye could see Feng'er's thoughts at a glance, and didn't want to say anything more. He grabbed her hand and walked towards the town, followed by dozens of maids...
"Master..." Feng'er was elated when Zhou Ye grabbed her little hand. The master still loves her, but this is not the reason why she can't work hard. She has to work harder to help the master arrange everything.
Zhou Ye is walking on the only main road in the town. Most of the buildings on both sides of the road are wooden structures, full of European style in the 1920s. Most of these buildings have only one floor, the only two-story building in the town. Just a bar...
Pushing open the concealed bar door casually, Zhou Ye walked in. The inside was dark and seemed to be empty... Behind him was a lighting lamp that the maid immediately brought...
As soon as you enter the gate, there are two billiard tables. Not far away is the bar. To the right of the bar is a small stage. It is estimated that someone has performed here before.
"Clean up here for now, and I'll move up after the villas on the mountain are built!" Zhou Ye ordered.
"Yes master, please wait a moment, let's clean up!" Feng'er said and waved her hand, and the maids who filed in had already started to get busy.
Although this small town is inconspicuous, it is the famous American Mangrove National Park in later generations... Zhou Ye is planning to build a villa group for himself in the mangrove forest. It is surrounded by mountains and sea, and the mountains are full of 4,000-year-old red trees. Trees, the weather in California makes these mangroves evergreen all year round, the streams in the forest are gurgling, rich in species, and there are three small waterfalls...
This place is very suitable for a vacation... Although he came to this world to do business, Zhou Ye never wronged himself. He just dumped more than 20 million US dollars and bought all of the 1,000 square kilometers in his private territory. There are forests, coastlines, and grasslands... This guy is here for vacation...
What is the concept of a thousand square kilometers? It is basically equivalent to the area of Hong Kong...
The U.S. dollar in this era has quite a purchasing power. The U.S. dollar that is still linked to gold can be called the real U.S. dollar. At that time, 1 U.S. dollar was equivalent to the purchasing power of 63 U.S. dollars in this world...
Zhou Ye has already made up his mind that if he has the opportunity, he will buy all the most beautiful national parks in the United States. As for where the Americans will go in the future? fuck him...
Zhou Ye actually came here a week ago. When he got here, he first wanted to find a lair for himself. After thinking about it, he decided on the Mangrove National Park for future generations...
