"You speak really good English.
"No way, this is the capital of my life."
Li Mu's words are half-true.
From the point of view of the programmed ape, this statement is absolutely true.
Even if it is applied to the current context, it can be said that after all, in the current Qing Dynasty, as long as you know a few words of English, you will almost certainly be able to ask for an official position in the Prime Minister's Yamen.
"You're lucky."
Mike complimented from the bottom of his heart.
"Are you referring to this," Li Mu pointed to his tightly wrapped head.
"Ah, it was just an accident."
Mike immediately denied it, but then said: "Maybe it's a good thing for you, you just need to stay in the U.S. for a few years, and you will definitely be reused when you return home, which should be a step up from your previous family background, and even if you are studying, you have five dollars of pocket money a month, you should know what that means."
Silver is the common currency of the Qing Empire, the exchange ratio of one tael of customs silver and one dollar is about one to 0.8, five dollars per month, which is converted into four taels of silver, and forty-eight taels per year, which is higher than a Qipinzhi county.
Of course, this is on the premise of not considering the cultivation of incorruptible silver.
Hearing that there was pocket money during the study abroad period, Li Mu's mood was much more comfortable, and the evil feudalism was still a little beneficial.
"I've heard about you, although the means of getting you on the boat are a bit despicable, but it must be said that this will be a turning point in your life, and if you haven't lost your memory, then you should remember that you used to live in the City God Temple" Mike's words made Li Mu dumbfounded.
This is indeed an accident, unless you are an orphan, you will not live in the City God Temple.
No wonder Qin Mu didn't keep braids, an orphan who no one cares about and no one asks, no one cares if you have braids or not, an orphan has neither the money nor the mood to take care of braids.
Since he was an orphan, Li Mu could understand why he was on the boat.
What is certain is that Li Mu was definitely not willing to get on the boat, and the wrapped head is proof that Li Mu was knocked unconscious and brought on the boat.
The Qing Empire's plan to stay in children spanned as long as fifteen years, that is, these eleven or twelve-year-old children had to stay in the United States for about fifteen years, during which no one was allowed to return to China, which naturally minimized the possibility of exposure.
And the medical level of this year is not very good, children are prone to accidents in the process of growing up, the probability of premature death is a bit high, as long as the first two years are fooled, after a few years in the name of premature death, it is absolutely seamless.
Thinking about this joint, Li Mu finally figured out why Chen Liqiu's expression was embarrassed just now.
Mike is also a talker, and he revealed a lot of information to Li Mu, such as that Chen Liqiu's name is Chen Lanbin, who has been a Jinshi, and his official position in the Qing government is Zhengsanpin Taichang Temple Zhengqing, whose status is similar to that of the Minister of Culture in the 21st century; Another example is Li Mu, they are the first batch of children, 24 of the 30 children are Cantonese, only one is a native of Shanghai, and Li Mu is not right, and Li Mu himself does not know where his body was originally from Of course, in addition to these news, there are also many news that Li Mu is interested in, such as Li Mu and their children's destination is New England, they will land in the San Francisco area, and then take the train to the New England area.
Located in the northeast corner of the continental United States, bordering the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent to Canada, the New England region consists of six states: Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
The New England region is the most educationally developed region in the United States, and Massachusetts is also Massachusetts, where the world-famous Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are located, and Yale University, which is also located in Connecticut, the New England region.
From this point of view, the Qing Empire also took great pains in the choice of study destinations, if Li Mu and the others really did not learn anything, it would be a waste of the country, sorry Jiangdong fathers.
"Believe me, you are taller than other children, because you know English, which can help you integrate into the United States faster, so I am optimistic about you, if there will be a big man between you in the future, then I believe you are the most likely" Mike slowly untied the bandage on Li Mu's head as he spoke, and suddenly shouted God again, "God, what's going on, you were obviously injured, but why don't you even have a scar" Mike looked at the blood-stained bandage in his hand, rubbed his eyes, then touched the top of Li Mu's head, and finally simply brought the candle over and over again, looking confused.
Li Mu didn't have a mirror at hand, and he couldn't see his brain, but Li Mu's hand was fine, Li Mu touched his head with his hand, and sure enough, it was only a layer of hair stubble, and he couldn't touch the slightest trace of the wound.
"My medical level is so high, God, I'm obviously just a veterinarian" Mike was already stunned, and the words in his mouth made Li Mu cry and laugh.
It turned out to be a veterinarian, no wonder this doctor is five big and three thick, if he wants to nail a horseshoe to the horse a little thinner, he may be kicked away by a hoof.
No, that's the work of a blacksmith.
"It's amazing that you broke a hole here half a month ago, I thought you wouldn't wake up" Mike gestured with his hand to his head, and the position made Li Mu shudder.
This is the back of the head, you can beat someone to death with a little force, the guy who robbed Li Mu on the boat is estimated to have a grudge against Li Mu, this is not a kidnapping, this is a special murder at all.
"Ah, I still feel a little pain in my head, dear Mike, can you still help me wrap it up" Li Mu's eyes rolled and he came up with an idea.
The programmed apes of the 21st century must be relatively wooden in the 21st century, but if they are placed in the mid-to-late 19th century, they are also demonic, after all, living in the era of the big explosion of knowledge, the horizons are much broader than those of this era.
"No, you're all right, you don't need this ugly thing anymore."
Mike had no respect for his profession and stuffed the bandages in his hands into the medicine box.
"It's needed, at least with this, I can have one more dish in the evening."
Li Mu blinked his small eyes, and his expression was extremely innocent.
"I'm going to take back my words" Mike's mouth opened like a cow about to give birth, with a look of shock and incredulity: "There will definitely be a big man among you, and that big man must be you." ”:
