New Ming Empire mixed in America

After passing through the security gate with fear, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the horses were kept in a special area, little Joseph could only take his men on a special train.

Because this train takes a separate route, its destination is a railway construction site more than ten kilometers away.

It is not only a construction site, but also a small commercial market. Not only are there various luxury goods from the Xinming Empire.

There are also various light industrial products and foods, such as liquor brewed from potatoes and glutinous rice, jeans with exquisite stitching, various farm tools, etc.

As long as you bring these things to Southern California, you can make a lot of money.

"Never jump off a train while it is in motion. If you catch someone without a temporary residence permit, they may be sent to mine, or they may be shot on the spot."

When getting on the train, little Joseph reminded his subordinates again about the precautions for taking the train.

This train has no seats, just empty carriages used to pull cargo.

"Why can't we hire a carriage and go down that road?"

Micah looked at the straight asphalt road next to the railroad tracks, his eyes full of curiosity.

"There are so many of us, how much does it cost to hire a carriage?"

Little Joseph found a corner and sat down, untied a cowhide rope from his wrist, passed it through the hole reserved in the carriage, and tied a knot.

Then I grabbed the newly made cowhide rope pull ring with my hands.

At first, everyone did not understand the purpose of little Joseph's actions. It was only after these people were tossed around due to the inertia of the train that they understood his intention.

Finally getting off the bus at the terminal, little Joseph's men were stunned by what they saw.

The wide and clean roads, the neat and clean shops, and the hawking voices in English with various accents. Everything made these people wonder if they were in the wrong place.

They didn't react until uniformed Ming Xie troops came over and drove them off the platform.

He quickly followed little Joseph and walked inside along the street.

Looking at the prices of the goods in the shops on both sides, everyone wanted to exchange all their money for goods and take them back to Southern California to sell them.

But it was a pity that little Joseph asked everyone to leave their finances in the camp before coming.

"Okay, this time I just want you to come and see the world. Next time you come by yourself, you can buy whatever you want."

After little Joseph finished speaking against his will, he led everyone to a building with a sign in English that said the construction site was recruiting workers.

Little Joseph looked at the name of the company on the sign and found that he was right, so he led his men to a large open space on the side where Ming Xie troops were on duty.

Arranging for everyone to wait in the open space, little Joseph slipped away on the pretext of going to find his acquaintances here.

His men waited for a long time and still didn't see him coming out, and many of them began to complain loudly.

Among them, Micah complained the most, seizing every opportunity to sow discord between these people and little Joseph.

After waiting for more than half an hour, and with more and more people in the open space, Micah finally felt something was wrong.

Because everyone who entered here had a look of despair on their faces. There was no smile like them at all.

And the muzzles of the guns in the hands of the surrounding Ming Xiejun were pointed at the open space surrounded by barbed wire intentionally or unintentionally.

Micah became suspicious and walked directly towards the entrance where he came from, but was stopped by Ming Xiejun at the door: "Do you have a temporary residence permit?"

Micah was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and then answered honestly: "I don't have a temporary residence permit, but don't I need a temporary residence permit here?"

After listening to his words, Ming Xiejun, who was smoking a cigarette, looked at each other and suddenly laughed loudly.

"You don't need a temporary residence permit to come here, but you need a temporary residence permit to get out. Don't worry, you may have a chance to get a temporary residence permit after working on the construction site for ten or eight years, haha..."

Listening to Ming Xiejun's words, Micah finally understood that something was wrong, so he said emotionally: "I'm not here to work on the construction site, we are escorting those people here, let me out quickly!"

But his words made the Ming Xie soldiers behind the barbed wire fence laugh even louder.

"Haha... Captain, are these guys deceived?"

"They must have been deceived. Looking at the clothes they are wearing, it doesn't look like they are just trying to make ends meet."

"I bet that all the money these guys had was defrauded..."

What the Ming Xiejun said was right. The people who came here came here voluntarily for the relocation expenses and the guarantee of having enough to eat.

As long as you find those intermediaries in Southern California, you can receive resettlement allowance, and then you will be sent to work on the construction site.

Of course, there is no salary. The Xinming Empire is already kind enough to let these people have enough to eat, so how can they still have the nerve to ask for wages?

Haven’t you heard of working-for-relief? Moreover, the people who are being provided relief are those who do not belong to the Xinming Empire. Anyone who sees this will give His Majesty Li Mingqi a thumbs up and say that he is benevolent and righteous.

Of course, among these people there will also be some guys who were deceived like Micah and others, but who cares about these trivial details?

Looking at Micah and others being suppressed by the Ming Xie army with whips and rifle butts, the fat person in charge of the three-story wooden office next to the open space raised an index finger and said:

"The price has to be reduced by 10%. These guys are very troublesome at first glance. It's not easy to make them obedient."

"Shit, you vampires! No more than half a percent. I know Brigadier Liang Youwen. Did you see this? This is his autograph!"

With that said, little Joseph took out an IOU between him and the National Defense Force from his arms, pointed to Liang Youwen's signature on it, and started bargaining with the fat person in charge.

Facts have proved that it is beneficial to know a big person, even if that big person is your creditor.

Carrying the money bag and walking out of the office, little Joseph hummed a tune and walked outside.

"Fake, little Joseph, you bastard deserves to go to hell! I swear, I will kill you when I come out, I will!"

When the sharp-eyed Micah saw little Joseph, he immediately threw himself in front of the barbed wire fence and yelled loudly.

"I'm waiting for you to come out!" Little Joseph shrugged indifferently. When had he ever been afraid of such a useless threat?

After saying that, little Joseph walked towards the train platform not far away. He also had to go to downtown San Francisco to go through the procedures to join the Xinming Empire.

As special talents like him who had contributed to the development of the Xinming Empire, Li Mingqi allowed them to become third-class citizens of the Xinming Empire and turned their temporary residence permits into yellow cards.

With this kind of yellow card printed with identity information, photos, and the signature "Special White" at the end, you can enjoy permanent residency in the Xinming Empire.
