Chapter 5: Visitors from the North
If Sheffield called for treatment of heavy metal pollution in the Mississippi River, it is estimated that the capitalists of the northern industrial zone in the upper reaches exploded. After all, they are all claiming that if they did not work hard, many people would not have food.
Just like thirty years ago, the plantation owners in the south said that if they were not to treat black people like their families, these black people who would not do anything would only be savages in the forest.
For many Americans, social life is becoming more and more polarized. The people who benefit most from economic expansion occupy the upper layers of society. Workers live in urban slums in harsh environments. They work day and night, but their income is meager. At best, they can barely make ends meet.
"Yan Kielo has a great advantage after the war. Sometimes I want to transform, but I have no clue, if your grandfather is still alive." Annabel sighed, "Brazil things It ’s also very messy and it ’s a headache. If you ’re going to graduate, where are you going to develop? ”
"Grandmother, I'm only sixteen. Are you afraid that I'll lose my family's funds?" Sheffield was a little surprised, expecting a young man of sixteen to make achievements. Isn't that a bit courageous.
"If our family is not courageous, dare to participate in the Civil War? Dare ..." Annabell said when she was here, she whispered her teeth, "Dare you kill Lincoln's **** after the war."
"This?" Sheffield was startled and could not help swallowing. "It's a big thing."
"Cooperated with Yankee, he didn't just offend us." Annabel raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully, "At that time there were more people who wanted to kill him, not necessarily enemies, but we Plantation owners are optimistic about their success. "
Then Feng Feng turned Annabel lightly and said, "I hate Yankee, but everything comes first. Since you can graduate right away, my grandmother also hopes you can graduate from me. Don't be afraid of failure, what's not beat . "
"When? Graduation?" Sheffield was confused by such ambiguous words.
"It's better now, before you graduate from college." Annabel's attitude is concise, and she obviously doesn't want to continue to let the heirs in the family continue to live in college.
For the importance of university, Annabel clearly understood that education is naturally useful, especially for the civilian class, but for her family, it is true that it is not useful. The successor ’s university has performed so well, even if there are reasons for the wealth and billions of dollars, it can not hide the academic success.
In this case, it is better to save a little time, and familiar with the business at home is much better than wasting time at the university.
Along the way, Annabel kept asking about everything, and was also considering the heir's knowledge of various things. She was very satisfied with Sheffield's answer, and finally asked lightly, "What do you think of the matter of black autonomy, The black mayor of Texas. "
"This is disguised apartheid, which is of course a very high means, and it has worked for at least a few decades." Sheffield said silently, "is this grandfather's proposal, believe the original opponents? a lot of."
This is nothing but what happened in South Africa afterwards. It was transplanted to the Civil War period by his so-called grandfather. In fact, before the Civil War, the relevant preparations are in progress. After the fight, it will be formally implemented. The biggest effect of this kind of operation is actually the disgusting Yang Ji guy who is under the banner of liberating the slaves.
After all, the actual operation under the banner of emancipating the slaves is to force black people to work as workers in the southern plantation economy. For the plantation economy in the south, black people are an important part of property. The value of the plantation owners is linked to the number of blacks. Although the moral commanding heights of the Civil War were occupied by the north, Sheffield did this directly to avoid the devastating impact of the Sheffield family after the war.
This is very useful in this era. It is necessary to know that it is still far from being a mayor of blacks. In later generations, the United States has equal rights to domestic blacks. The external background is that the Soviet Union is in full swing and constantly using blacks for trouble. The United States does not care how the black African countries scold themselves. If the oldest enemy does this, then he must listen.
Regardless of how insidious it is to learn the tricks from South Africa, the fact is that the Yankee who wanted to abolish slaves just casually said that the first black mayor was indeed Texas.
"Your grandfather is at ease at any time. According to his words, as long as there is time, any adversity can be reversed. Unfortunately, he just lost luck." Annabel said to herself with tears in her eyes. Bullet. Sometimes I think it ’s retribution, maybe it ’s my fault, you should n’t have poisoned your uncle ’s lead. "
This obviously family secret story made Sheffield's ears stand up, but Annabel didn't say much, but the words changed, "If your grandfather lived, he would laugh at me, he never believed in God."
"Understood!" Sheffield nodded, as can be seen from the obvious traces left in the manor, the nationality of this senior should be the same as himself. The Chinese rural dogs raised in the manor can testify, even the dogs will find ways to get them from the country. People, this feature is very obvious, Chinese people, surely will not believe in God, God and God are shit.
"I am old and cannot be defeated as your grandfather said. If you have time, you will be defeated. Your father lingered in Paris. He was just a playboy. He wouldn't starve to death. Isabella is a woman, can you report it? The enmity of the Civil War, let Yang Jiluo bow his head, it ’s up to you. You can do whatever you want after you finish your studies. Your grandmother will support you. There is tradition in your family. Plan first and write down your thoughts to me , Graduated back to university. "
Sheffield scratched her head and looked at Galeries Lafayette, even if it started? A woman without her husband is so scary? Where did my grandfather find such a top grade? Weakly said, "I really admire the love of my grandmother and grandfather, and I really want to hear the stories of you two."
"He was a young farmer at the beginning. He went to my market to buy labor and bargained. Unlike ordinary young people, he talked about the heresy and the heresy, but think about it. There is a point." Annabel said slowly with a smile of memory. The time passed quickly and the carriage returned to Sheffield Manor.
"Mother, at the age of William, can you develop a business?" Isabella said with some concern. "The age is a bit younger."
"Your father's age just happened to inherit the family business." Annabel glanced at her little daughter, "There is nothing wrong, civilians fail to start a business once, and people like us can repeat business many times, as long as Seize a chance, and money can return to its peak. Those plantation owners in Brazil do n’t understand this, they must hold the plantation. Have you sent a telegram? "
"It has been sent, but Brazil is different from the country. It takes a while for the plantation owners there to receive the news. The telegram arrives in Brazil and must be delivered to them by means of transportation." Isabella nodded and hesitated Tao said, "There are guests in the north who want to come here for oil."
