Daming One Piece

Chapter 217 A Different Daming (Second Update)
Despite a storm in the South China Sea, the "Pingchang" schooner arrived at Nantianmen smoothly, but it did not sail directly into Nantianmen Port, but went directly to Taosha Island on the opposite bank.

For Wang Xin and others, what happened next was something they had never experienced before. These immigrants, who were looking forward to a bright future, were asked to take a bath as soon as they landed.

"Everyone should bathe, wash with soap, and have their hair clean, free from lice..."

Standing in the wooden shower room, when Wang Xin and others took a bath, their clothes were sent into the steam room, where they were disinfected with steam, or in other words, the lice in the clothes were killed with steam.

Even after they showered, someone checked their hair for lice.Then you have to learn to line up, and men and women are divided into two teams.

After tossing and tossing for a while, this exhausting bath was finally over, and then they, like all the immigrants who had just been sent, were led by several stewards along the masonry road to a row of In front of the cabin.

Rows of wooden houses look a bit crude, the windows are not pasted with paper but covered with a layer of window screens, and even the doors are covered with screens.

"Twelve people share a room. After entering the room, you choose your own bed. The children sleep on the bottom bed. The screen door and screen window cannot be opened..."

The stewards kept telling them the rules of the "isolation camp".

"This is an isolation camp. Every new immigrant must be quarantined here for a month. In addition to being quarantined every day, he must also learn how to farm. In the South China Sea, all the paddy fields are planted. You are all northerners. You must learn how to grow paddy fields. , grow rice..."

While the steward was introducing, Wang Xin glanced at the distance, and saw that there were many people busy in the paddy fields over there.They should be learning how to grow paddy fields there.

"In addition to learning how to farm, you have to go to class every day to learn how to read characters. Regardless of gender, you must be able to recognize 500 common characters and learn simple arithmetic within a month."

Actually want to learn to read and write!

Somehow, Wang Xin had an unknown premonition in his heart.He was surprised to find that everything here seems to be different from the mainland.

It is my duty to learn to grow paddy fields, but I still have to learn how to read and write!
And you have to know [-] characters in one month!
It was at this time that he heard the sound of reading aloud from the opposite side.

"àn...àn..."

Some unfamiliar voices reading aloud came from a distance, echoing in the isolation camp.

Could it be that Shutang is there?

Whispering in his heart, Wang Xin walked into the wooden house. The wooden house is very simple, but the room is quite spacious. There are six beds in the room, which are actually bunk beds.Six bunk beds are enough to sleep 12 people.The room is clean and tidy. This environment is far better than many ordinary people's houses.

"This... this place is really good!"

Standing beside the bed, looking at the straw mat on the bed, Wei An held the bed with his hands and muttered to himself.

"Even my hometown can't compare to this place!"

"No, I thought I was going to sleep on the ground when I was on the boat."

Li Youcai on the side shouted,

"I didn't expect that there was still a bed to sleep in!"

Everything is so incredible.

Quite a few people looked at such an environment, and even giggled cheerfully. Just from the environment of the isolation camp, they already felt like they were dreaming—this place is simply paradise!

Half an hour later, these newly arrived immigrants gathered again with the sound of the whistle. They lined up in a messy queue and walked towards the cafeteria. Before they arrived at the cafeteria, they smelled the fragrance. The source of the fragrance was naturally the cafeteria. .Smelling the smell of rice in the air, even Wang Xin couldn't help swallowing, the smell of meat at this moment!

After queuing up and leading the bowls into the cafeteria, the people in front of the line seemed a little excited

"Here, this is food for us!"

"It actually has meat!"

"And so much rice!"

"This is all white rice!"

Meat and rice!
Everything is beyond people's expectations. For these refugees who have been wandering for a long time, at most they hope that one day they will be full, and they will not be hungry, even if they are half full, they can hang their lives If you don't die, you are already blessed by God, but you once thought that not only can you eat enough, but you can also eat white rice and even meat!
Such a day, what a day!
It's simply a rich day!

My God, is this the day of the common people?
Wang Xin's eyes widened, looking at the meat and rice in the bowl in disbelief.

"This, this, maybe it's the first good meal!"

Wang Xin said to himself.

"The first meal, it will be like this every day after that!"

The master who cooked for him said with a smile.

"In our place, there are two thin meals in the morning and evening, white rice and meat dishes at noon, you are coming here at the right time!"

"What, I can eat meat every day from now on!"

Wei An and the others were surprised.

"That's right, you can eat meat every day!"

The master who weighed the spoon replied.

"However, you have to train well, if you want to be good, but you will deduct your meal!"

"Training? Training what?"

"That's right, brother, what is the training? Literacy?"

"Literacy? That's a must. In addition to literacy, you have to learn other things. Why don't you look outside..."

The master pointed the copper spoon out of the window, but there was still a lot of noise there.Someone was shouting loudly.

"One two one, one two one..."

Although the voice is far away, the shouts are rhythmic.

Through the screen window, Wang Xin could see a large empty field on the other side of the window: a group of people wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts were lining up there.From Wang Xin's point of view, what they were wearing was not clothes at all, at most it was cloth on the body.

Those people were walking according to the password. At the side of the line, a man in charge shouted from time to time, and kept beating some of them with sticks.

"What is this doing?"

Opening his eyes wide, Wang Xin vaguely guessed that these people might be soldiers.

But after seeing the old and young, men and women among them, his eyes were full of doubts and puzzles.

Why do they pick people up like this?

Of course, Wang Xin didn't know that it was Beigang's comfort envoy's idea to conduct military training for immigrants.Its purpose is not just daily military drills, to allow immigrants to master basic military skills, but its most fundamental purpose is to forge the discipline of immigrants.

After all, these immigrants are mainly refugees. They have long been accustomed to the unrestrained life of refugees. Only through strict training and even punishment can they be forced to obey discipline and then abide by the rules of the law.

Of course, there is another advantage, that is, a one-month short training can recast this group of people and make them clearly different from the natives.

Looking at the pilaf in the bowl and the queue outside the window, Wang Xin said to himself.

"This place is really different from Daming..."
