The biggest interest of Li Mu's plan is not to vote to join the Qing Empire, but to get a full quota of two senatorial seats, so that he can better speak out on behalf of the Chinese.
It is not easy to achieve this goal, and the Americans in Hawaii are not stupid, and it is a sure thing for the Chinese to fight for a seat in the Senate, and it is very difficult to get the full two, after all, there are still many people in Hawaii who are Americans.
In another time and space, when the referendum was held in Hawaii, the U.S. garrison also participated in the vote as part of Hawaii, and the final result was one-sided, Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States, which also became a black box operation among the Hawaiian population, and until the 21st century, there were still Hawaiians who thought the referendum result was unjust and demanded independence from the United States. independent In the 19th century, Hawaii's population was only about 70,000, including a large number of Chinese and Americans, and it was precisely because of the labor shortage that the Kingdom of Hawaii signed an agreement with Japan to bring in Japanese labor.
This agreement has not yet been signed, so it is wishful thinking that more than 70,000 people want to maintain their independent status, and both the United States and Japan have the strength to swallow Hawaii in one bite.
Hawaiians should be glad that at least the Americans are still different from the British, who discovered the Bahamas and within a few years, 300,000 Bahamians disappeared, at least the Americans did not play this game.
In early April, the Legislative Assembly, the highest authority of the Kingdom of Hawaii, decided to reorganize the Kingdom of Hawaii into the United States of Hawaii, and Kalakaua I was inaugurated as the first President of the United States of Hawaii.
If nothing else, Kalakaua I will also be Hawaii's last president.
Li Mu attended the inauguration of Kalakaua I, focusing on determining whether the contracts signed during the Kingdom of Hawaii were still legally valid after the reorganization of the Kingdom of Hawaii into the United States of Hawaii.
The key is still Molokai Island, now Molokai Island has become Li Mu's private property, if the United States of Hawaii tears up the contract and announces the resumption of Molokai Island, then Li Mu really wants to cry without tears.
On behalf of the United States of Hawaii, King Kalakaua I confirmed that the agreement signed between Kalakaua I and Li Mu was valid, and that Molokai Island remained in Li Mu's private ownership, which was also confirmed by the Hawaiian Congress.
Congress will definitely not set up any obstacles for Li Mu, Hawaii is now a democratic republic, but it is not as troublesome as the US government, after all, the population of the entire country is only 70,000, if you set up a Senate and then set up a House of Representatives is indeed a bit bloated, so the United States of Hawaii has only one Senate, and the speaker is not British or American, but Chen Guofang.
This result is not surprising, the Chinese have always been in peace and obey the law, this has been recognized by everyone, the current situation in Hawaii, if the Americans are the speaker, the British will not agree, and if the British are the speaker, the Americans will not agree, so in the end Chen Guofang was elected president of the Senate, which is a compromise choice for all parties.
After confirming that Molokai Island still belonged to him, Li Mu immediately began to emigrate.
Yes, starting immediately, the manpower is ready-made, they arrived in Hawaii on the ship of the Corbin Rim Shipping Company, originally the destination of these people was Springfield, but Li Mu decided to enrich Molokai Island first, first determine that Molokai Island belongs to the Chinese as a fait accompli, and then continue to immigrate to Springfield.
Before the first batch of immigrants arrived on Molokai Island, Li Mu first came to Molokai Island.
Now Molokai Island is already a large construction site, after Chu Wushuang's stealing beams and changing columns, Molokai Island has the first batch of more than 300 construction workers, and after these workers landed on Molokai Island, the first thing to do is reclamation.
Relying on more than 300 people to open up the land is still a bit small, so Li Mu leased more than 1,000 people from the Hawaiian government to form a team of 1,500 people for the development of Molokai Island.
In fact, the local land in Hawaii is still very fertile, very suitable for planting, after all, it is a volcanic terrain, volcanic ash is the best fertilizer, it is very suitable to develop plantations in Hawaii, and the sugar cane here is marketed throughout the Pacific region, becoming one of the pillar industries of Hawaii.
The Chinese are still very experienced in Hawaii, after all, the Chinese have lived here for hundreds of years, and the reclamation has become a part of Chinese life.
Hawaii is rich in sandalwood, although sandalwood is valuable, but it takes decades to grow, so it is not cost-effective to plant sandalwood, although there is no "sustainable development" in these years, but the reason is the same, after the sandalwood grown on the land is cut down, it is just used to grow sugar cane, and it will not be wasted at all.
Chen Guofang helped a lot, and when he learned that Li Mu wanted to develop Molokai Island, Chen Guofang sent more than 100 plantation workers under his command to help those Hawaiian workers clear the land.
When Li Mu came to Molokai Island, he saw such a hot scene.
With the original improvised camp on the island as the center, all the way to Father Mine's church, the reclamation of this area is underway, the main force of the reclamation is of course those Hawaiians, the gunmen under Chu Wu's hands are responsible for supervising the work, and the people sent by Chen Guofang are responsible for guidance, no one dares to be lazy, if someone is found grinding foreign workers, it will be a whip at best, and it will be shot directly, here, there is no fairness and justice at all.
The Hawaiian courts have sentenced all of these rioters to death, and they are now on death row, so even if they are shot, there will be no one to administer justice for them.
When Chu Wushuang shot more than twenty people in a row, these prisoners finally realized that they had no choice, so they worked hard and worked hard to hope for future pardons.
I want to give a sweet date with a stick, so Li Mu decided that if these people behave well enough, then after five years, Li Mu can conditionally pardon these people.
The procedure for pardon is actually very simple, as long as Li Mu pays a sum of money to the Hawaiian court.
"Since they knew that they might be pardoned, these people are very motivated, they now eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, there is meat at the meal, and they can drink a glass of wine in two days, so these people are very happy, looking at this posture, they don't have much expectation for pardon, as long as they can live this kind of life all the time, it is estimated that these people will be satisfied."
Chu Wubi-directional Li Mu introduced.
Li Mu is on the watchtower at the entrance of the simple camp, standing in the position of Li Mu, you can see that nearly 1,000 acres of land have been reclaimed nearby, Hawaii is warm like spring all year round, sugarcane can be planted for two seasons, now is a good time to sow seeds, the "seeds" sown are actually from Honolulu sent from the sugarcane shoots, the process of "sowing" is very simple, just bury the sugarcane shoots directly into the soil.
It is so easy to grow crops in the tropics, and the tropics are indeed blessed, perhaps because the resources in the tropics are too abundant, so people in the tropics are generally very lazy, they don't need to work hard, they can get food casually, and in the long run, they really don't have a sense of worry, so they can easily be conquered by other races.
"Try to be nice to them, don't let them die so quickly, it's all our property."
Li Mu is also a qualified capitalist now, and his heart is black and unbeatable.
"Hehe, don't worry, Reem, they can't die if they want to."
Chu Wushuang didn't have any mercy, thinking about what these people did on the day of the riot, it was not too much to let them die a hundred times.
"That's it, a part of the people will be assigned to learn to build houses in the next few days, so that they can be self-sufficient in the future."
Li Mu thought far.
"Mmmm, Reem, I heard that many of the people who came this time were women, you see" Chu Wushuang rubbed his hands and grimaced, a little embarrassed.
There is no way, the proportion of Chinese in the United States is absolutely yang and yin, and since Li Mu came to the United States, he has not seen any Chinese women in the United States, which is really embarrassing.
What's even more worrisome is those school-age youth, or those older young people, the Chinese in the United States have been away from home for many years, and most of them are not married, so you can imagine the expectations of the Chinese in the United States for women.
Of course, the "expectation" here is only the expectation of starting a family, and has no other meaning.
Before Li Mu began large-scale immigration, Chinese Americans could only choose white or Mexican if they wanted to get married, and basically had no other choice, so Li Mu focused on women and children, and most of them immigrated through "purchase".
Chu Wushuang also belongs to the older youth, and Chu Wushuang is not married, so Chu Wushuang is asking about this now, well, Sima Zhao's heart.
"First of all, you have to understand, we don't have arranged marriages here, if there is a fancy one, you can chase it, as long as people agree, I will give it to you."
Li Mu is generous, even if Chu Wushuang takes a fancy to ten or eight, Li Mu will not be stingy.

Although the United States is nominally a monogamous country, each state in the United States has its own state laws, and not all states clearly stipulate that monogamy is to be practiced, such as Mormons in Utah, they are not monogamous, Mormonism has publicly admitted that the founder of the religion, Smith, had 40 wives, the youngest of whom was only 14 years old, and under the pressure of the U.S. government, Mormonism officially abolished polygamy in 1890.
However, in the 21st century, there are still some believers who have not abandoned this practice, and the government has turned a blind eye.
Uh-huh, free country.
"Hehe, Reem, it's okay with your words" Chu Wushuang rubbed his hands and was eager to try.
In terms of personal conditions, Chu Wushuang is indeed very good, this guy is burly, thick-eyed and big-eyed, at least his genes are very good
