Kono Sushi Restaurant in Panama.

Gao Yuan stood beside Li Zhaoyu and watched the young man eating sushi. He kept wondering, is this young man dressed in plain clothes and ordinary behavior really the eldest son of King Yu? This is completely different from the imagined imperial royal family.

But Gao Yuan was sure that Li Zhaoyu must be the royal family as his brother-in-law said. Not to mention anything else, the dining table near the window and the newspaper outside the door were all tough guys. The intuition of the soldier told him that these people who were not easy to mess with, and that even if they were not the royal family, they were big shots.

"Are you Gao Yuan, Equation's brother-in-law?" Li Zhaoyu looked at Gao Yuan and frowned, because this Gao Yuan is much older than Equation.

"Yes, Grand Prince. Chief Fang asked me to come to your side to serve you for your dispatch."

"You are sure you can help me. Actually, I want someone to fight Equation, but I don't want him to be around me for a long time." Li Zhaoyu said.

Gao Yuan nodded: "Confirm, my eldest son, I came to Panama with my family at the age of fourteen. I went to join the army four years ago and just came back. I am very familiar with this city, and this city is a little unfamiliar with me."

"Interesting, can't your old friend and neighbor recognize you?"

Gao Yuan was obviously prepared, so he took out a photo from his arms, with more than a dozen people on it. Gao Yuan said, "Can you see which one is me?"

Li Zhaoyu shook his head slightly, Gao Yuan pointed to the middle one: "This is me."

Li Zhaoyu looked incredible because he was a thin man with long hair, completely different from his short hair that looked strong and delicate now.

"Okay, that's all. Gao Yuan, are you familiar with the gray area of ​​Panama?"

"Familiar, since he came to Panama, he was in this area." Gao Yuan said. The reason he came to Panama was because his father was a dock worker. After Panama opened a port, there were plenty of job opportunities here. Before Gao Yuan joined the army, his profession was a gangster, a thief and a window knocker.

The window knocker was a relatively special profession in the early Industrial Revolution. Although Panama did not have many workers, the port service and transportation industry was developed. There were a large number of transportation companies here, which had to turn over goods between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Therefore, many workers appeared. Most of these people lived in narrow buildings. They worked and rested, and naturally they had different time to get up. In the absence of an alarm clock, in order to avoid being on the bed, they had to find the window knocker.

The person who knocks on the windows will use a stick to hit the windows of the workers' bedrooms at the agreed time. The worker will pay the person who knocks on the windows. There are more hours of working late at night and early in the morning, which coincides with the profession of Gaoyuan thief.

The window-tip man does not need any functional skills, but requires the necessary tools - watches. Gao Yuan stole a pocket watch, so he owned this profession.

Because of several tasks, Gao Yuan was familiar with the streets and alleys of Panama, and was not unfamiliar with all the various religions. Gao Yuan was an accident when he joined the army. The foreman who provided knocking on the window saw the pocket watch with his wife's name engraved on it. Although he caught the affair case, Gao Yuan was also imprisoned.

Either sentence or join the army, Gao Yuan chose the latter. The reason is very simple. In the provinces of the empire with a large population, thieves like Gao Yuan would not be investigated as long as they choose to immigrate. However, this is Panama, there is no prison, and crimes will be either fined or exiled. Exile from Panama is the islands that have just been discovered in the South Pacific, which are called "sent to be savages."

"Sit down and have a meal first."

"Does the eldest son like to eat sushi? I know a more authentic restaurant, at least opened by Japanese people. Don't think that this restaurant is Japanese in style, it is actually Chinese," said Gao Yuan.

"Young Master, no one treats you as a mute if you don't speak." The chef who made sushi opened the curtain with the sushi god written on it and cursed.

Gao Yuan grinned: "Look, I'm right."

"I don't like eating sushi," said Li Zhaoyu.

"Then why are you eating here?"

Li Zhaoyu said: "Clean."

“In Xingye Street, there are more and cleaner restaurants with all kinds of flavors.”

Li Zhaoyu said: "It's too expensive."

Gao Yuan gave a thumbs up. In Panama, those that are cleaner than sushi restaurants are expensive and cheaper than them are small restaurants with less optimistic sanitation conditions. Li Zhaoyu took out the meal money and put it on the table to check out, saying, "But the information you provided is very useful. This is not the place I want to stay."

As he said that, Li Zhaoyu walked out of the sushi restaurant and said, "Go to the Japanese sushi restaurant you mentioned."

Gao Yuan led the way forward and asked on the way: "It seems that the eldest son is looking for the bad luck of the Japanese. Is it related to your injury?"

"Yes."

Gao Yuan thought for a while: "But now there are many Japanese people here because of the railway construction."

The Panama Railway was opened in July. King Rong Li Su regretted that he missed the ceremony when he went to Xijin to take office. However, the problem is that the Panama Railway showed huge profitability as soon as it was opened, and the freight volume was rising steadily, reaching the transportation limit in September. For the booming two-ocean trade, a railway was obviously unable to meet the booming two-ocean trade, but the canal plan is still under preparation. Therefore, after the Panama Railway was opened, it will be built again and again immediately.

Now, not only did Japanese workers not leave, but more workers came.

"What I am looking for is a Japanese child about eight years old, only as high as my chest. His right hand was cut off from his palm. There shouldn't be many such people in Panama," said Li Zhaoyu.

Gao Yuan nodded. The disabled person was already eye-catching, and the disabled child was even more eye-catching. Gao Yuan said: "Can I ask, what are you going to do with him when I find him?"

Li Zhaoyu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is this related to you?"

Gao Yuan took out a document: "After all, I am the sheriff now."

"Is that the reason?"

"Okay, Chief Fang said, you are not suitable for doing something extraordinary." Gao Yuan could only tell the truth. Seeing Li Zhaoyu looking at him, Gao Yuan added helplessly: "General Fang also said that if it is really necessary to do something extraordinary, you cannot do it."

"So he asked you brother-in-law to take the blame?"

"He said he wouldn't be in a white back."

Li Zhaoyu laughed: "Gao Yuan, you are an interesting person, I like it. But don't worry, what can I do to a child? If you think about it, what can a child do to me?"

Li Zhaoyu didn't want to tell Fang Cheng what happened, because it was not a shameful thing. He was injured because he was wandering on the street and threw away the servant who was upset by himself. As a result, he was hit by the Japanese child. He saw that he was a disabled child with a mouth full of Japanese. Except for Smimasai, he could not understand anything else. Li Zhaoyu was not angry.

But after he finished his meal, he found that his wallet had been stolen. He was ridiculed by the boss. He had no watches and rings on his body, and he was even considered by the boss to rent a good-looking set of clothes to pretend to be a waste of food. It was not until Li Zhaoyu found something that could be mortgaged on him that the hotel owner gave up because it was a revolver full of bullets.

However, Li Zhaoyu felt even more embarrassed. From the boss's eyes, he changed from a pretty person to a tycoon meal. Finally, at Li Zhaoyu's request, he used a pistol to return the bullet to end.

On the way to get the gun, the Japanese child Li Zhaoyu saw immediately chased him and was led into an alley, knocked on his leg with a stick, fell to the ground and broke his arm.

Li Zhaoyu insisted on finding the Japanese child. In addition to being unable to swallow this, he also because the wallet was a birthday gift from the late prince Li Zhaoji. He and his younger brother Li Zhaocheng were one with him, and there was also a photo of the whole family. This was one of the rare things he could relieve his longing when he was alone overseas.

"Okay, you eat, I'll find that child for you." Gao Yuan said when he arrived at the sushi restaurant.

Li Zhaoyu said: "Don't you have to go through this boss? I think it's easy for a Japanese to find another Japanese in a foreign country."

"Yes, but that requires money, and I don't need to spend money."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Li Zhaoyu said.

After half an hour, Gao Yuan returned to the sushi restaurant, and the three of them cooked two bites and ate something, and then said, "I got the address of that person, and his name was Shimao."

"Okay, when you have enough, we'll go find him."

Gao Yuan ate and walked into the dark alley with Li Zhaoyu. Soon the sound of footsteps sounded behind him. The attendants caught up with him. Their intentions were very clear. Given that Li Zhaoyu had been injured in such a place, they could not accept that Li Zhaoyu would take risks again.

"You can follow me and help me, but don't want me to stop," said Li Zhaoyu.

The head servant asked Xiang Gaoyuan: "Where is that little thief living?"

"The shack at the end of the alley." Gao Yuan said honestly.

The attendant picked up a stick and walked in front. When he reached the end of the alley, the other two people did not allow Li Zhaoyu to move forward again. Soon, noisy crying and shouting sounded. The attendant ran out in a panic, with blood scratched on his face. When Li Zhaoyu saw that the stick in his hand disappeared, he said, "You won't kill someone, you."

"No, the eldest son...you go in and take a look."

Li Zhaoyu went in under the protection of his servant. It was a shack built with a cargo box. It was covered with straw mats and opened the wooden door. It was pitch black inside. With the light at the door, Li Zhaoyu saw four children hiding in the corner. The broken hand held the stick of the servant officer blocking the other three. The shack was stinking and the four children were all in horror.

"Where is this young man's leather bag?" Gao Yuan, who could speak Japanese, asked.

The child found a bag from the haystack, and Gao Yuan took it and handed it to Li Zhaoyu.

"What should I do next?" Gao Yuan asked.

"You ask them, where are their parents?"

“He said there were no parents.”

"Where is the guardian?"

Gao Yuan asked for a while and said, "It's an orphan that no one cares about."

Li Zhaoyu sneered: "That's interesting. There are orphans in the empire that no one wants."

“It’s all Japanese.”

“The Japanese are also humans.”

Li Zhaoyu is not very holy maiden, but because people are a resource, they are very precious in the empire, because the empire has always been committed to immigrating overseas, especially in North America, Xijin and other places. Although it is the world's largest population country, the empire is also the world's largest country and will never feel that it is not enough.

Exile is only a small part of the immigrants, and most of them are free immigrants. In order to immigrate, the empire also established the world's largest adoption system. In major populous provinces, a raising of orphans that no one wants, some of them must immigrate overseas. After the popularization of steam ships, there were new immigration policies related to this starting ten years ago.

The reason is very simple. The empire not only adopts orphans, but also cultivates orphans. When the empire has not fully established a compulsory education system, orphans must receive compulsory education. The yangyuan is also a kindergarten and an elementary school. Orphans have at least primary school education and will not be diverted until they graduate from elementary school. They will continue to study with good grades. Those with good grades and smart grades like Equation will even be selected into the royal palace or palace.

Those with good grades and strong health will go to military management schools and start to join the army at the age of 16, and some will also attend technical colleges.

But the problem is that after this training, the orphans' education and organizational level are far beyond the average level of the empire. They are highly qualified anywhere, even in Shenjing. When an ordinary worker is absolutely qualified, at least he can write and calculate, and he is used to collective life.

Therefore, some orphans who originally wanted to immigrate overseas will also be intercepted by local governments.

After the immigration case, the Empire changed its policies and sent a group of people who continued their studies after graduating from elementary school to immigration destinations and went to school there, such as sending them directly to large cities with overseas educational resources such as Jinzhou, Xijin, and Cape Town. After training, they were diverted on the spot.

However, children who graduated from elementary school are still above average because the raising houses are all in the city, and these children are unwilling to immigrate. One is unwilling to leave and the other is willing to stay. This problem is still prominent.

Therefore, after the popularity of steam ships, the immigration loss rate decreased. The Imperial Immigration Bureau built a batch of cruise ships, selecting strong men and women at the age of six, and sending them overseas through the ship to the destination for education.

Even so, the two provinces of Xijin and North America still feel that the population is insufficient. The North American provinces and Panama have been fighting population lawsuits for a long time because they have attracted too many immigrants. Because of this, major projects such as the Panama Railway have had to use a large number of Japanese workers.

As for nurturing orphans, overseas provinces also feel that the benefits are great, because most of the funds for this project are distributed by the central government, but the benefits are left to overseas provinces.

So two years ago, after the Jinzhou earthquake, the North American provincial government sent several cruise ships to Japan while rescuing disasters. Because the earthquake in North America affected Japan and caused a huge disaster, Japan did not know that the tsunami came from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, so it was strange that it called the tsunami an orphan tsunami or a ghost tsunami.

After the tsunami, Japan produced a large number of orphans. The North American provinces directly stored them on site and transported them to North America. Children under the age of six are not rejected. Although they are Japanese, they are not different from their skin color to their culture when they are educated in the empire. Isn’t this better than directly introducing Japanese laborers?
