Yuan Yan poked her head out and looked around, then quietly closed the door. After turning around, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Master Ai Shouyi asked in confusion: "This is..."
Our Master Yuan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his head, saying, "The identity of our Yuan family's Bamboo Forest Sage is not secret. Especially since my father was exposed a few years ago for advising President Yuan, he has long been targeted by interested parties."
"And I suspect that there are traitors among us Seris people, and even among the Bamboo Forest Sages, who have defected to the Freemasons, so I have to be extra careful."
Well, actually he was afraid of waking up the neighbors and getting scolded.
"Oh..." After being interrupted by him, Master Ai Shouyi calmed down and said after a moment of hesitation: "Mr. Yuan, a piece of paper money alone cannot prove anything..."
"Hahaha..." Our Master Yuan interrupted him with a sneer, "Paper money doesn't prove anything, so... Mr. Ai Shouyi, please tell me why you introduced so many Jewish immigrants to the United States?"
"You must know about the Chinese Exclusion Act. Well, I don't deny that we Seres are pagans who don't believe in your God, but do Jews believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?"
"Why can Jews, who are both pagans, enter the United States openly, but we, the Seres, cannot? Is it because of our skin color? But you haven't expelled African Americans either."
"this……"
These words once again caused Master Ai Shouyi to fall into silence.
He certainly doesn't understand why the American people discriminate against the Chinese more than the Jews, or more precisely, why the Chinese are at the bottom of the chain of racial discrimination in the United States.
However, our Master Yuan combined his memories of two lifetimes with his knowledge of economics, and the search tool called the Master Ball, and finally figured it out. In fact, it all comes down to... money!
As we all know, the first large-scale entry of Chinese workers into the United States was during the California Gold Rush in the mid-19th century (hence the name San Francisco). Later, a large number of Chinese workers participated in the construction of the Pacific Railway., the cheap and hard-working Seres squeezed out many white and black laborers.
When the railway was completed, the Chinese workers who saved their wages went to the city to work in low-skilled service industries, most of which were laundries and restaurants. Some became servants because Americans found that Chinese were much easier to use than black people. This caused many cooks, laundry women and servants to lose their jobs.
Just like a hundred years later, the Chinese used their hard work and tenacity to "offend" all the lower-class Americans in a very short period of time. White extremist politicians took advantage of this hatred and thus passed the infamous "Chinese Exclusion Act."
So why did the Jews suffer so much better?
Firstly, the Jews really value education. Most immigrants have a skill. At least they are craftsmen such as tailors, jewelers and watchmakers. There are naturally fewer people competing with them for these jobs that require a certain level of skills.
Secondly, Jews are more united than Chinese. Once one of them enters an industry and establishes a foothold, they will recruit their compatriots to join. Therefore, the first batch of Jewish financiers were tailors and small traders, while Hollywood Jewish tycoons were almost all engaged in jewelry and fur trading.
People are always realistic. Between a migrant worker and a white-collar worker, who do you look up to? Isn't this self-evident?
So, seventy years later, Chinese people still cannot integrate into mainstream American society. In fact, the situation will not be much better after a hundred years.
It is a long and arduous task to change this situation. Even as a time traveler, Yuan Yanshu cannot accomplish it alone. However, since he cannot improve the status of the Chinese for the time being, can he not suppress the status of the Jews? Well, if possible, he can pit the Japanese devils like he did on October 1st.
The current SAN value of Ai Shouyi is in crisis, and he is a good helper. Now he only needs one final blow to bring this little brother under his command. And this final strike must be clean and beautiful, and perfect...
“Pika Pika!”
"Master Ball, don't worry, I'm just borrowing the names of "The Legend of Maoshan Demon" and those movies.. "
“Snap!”
Our Master Yuan lit up another camel, took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I'm not the first Bamboo Forest Sage to notice the New World. As early as the middle of the last century, a predecessor came to the United States."
"He is an outstanding disciple of the Maoshan Sect of Seris Taoism, and his Buddhist name is... Yimei."
"When Taoist Master Yimei was practicing in the southeastern coast of China, he accidentally learned that someone was buying young boys and girls. After investigating, he found that these people were actually believers of the evil god, and the reason they bought children was to use them as sacrifices to the evil god."
"The vengeful Bamboo Forest Sage killed the followers of the evil god in China, got clues from them, and tracked them to the New World, intending to catch these inhumane evildoers in one fell swoop. The year was 1865..."
"1865..." Lord Aishouyi murmured , "Could it be..."
"Yes, it was the year when President Lincoln was assassinated." Master Yuan asked, "Mr. Ai Shouyi, do you know Judah P. Benjamin?"
"Judah P Benjamin... I really don't know."
Yuan Yanshu said seriously: "This man served as Attorney General, Secretary of War and Secretary of State in the cabinet of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. His portrait is printed on the Confederate two-dollar bill. He is the first Jew to serve as a high-ranking cabinet official in the so-called "American" government, and..."
"The leader of the evil god's followers!"
"Master Yimei was unfamiliar with the United States when he first arrived, and he couldn't even speak English well. But with the help of his fellow Seris people, he was able to track down some suspicious people from clues."
"On the night of April 14, 1865, he tracked his target to Ford's Theater. Unfortunately, he had no idea that these guys were targeting President Lincoln... Well, in fact, he didn't even know who President Lincoln was at the time. So he didn't have time to stop their assassination."
"However, Taoist Yimei still managed to secretly capture a murderer and learned from him the name of the leader of Judah and the evil god they believed in."
Master Ai Shouyi asked curiously, "What is the name of that evil god?"
Yuan Yan's eyebrows were twisted, the corners of her mouth twitched, her Adam's apple rolled, and after taking a few deep breaths, she said with difficulty: "Suzumiya Haruhi!"
