Lin Yuan smiled, put down the seat under the canopy of the armored transport vehicle, and sat on it, so that he could poke his head out of the canopy and see the scene on the street, Shen Wanqing also stuck his head out of the armored transport vehicle The car, at this time, the convoy has already arrived at the slums of Calcutta, which is very similar to the slums of Lin Yuan's era. I saw a large area of low adobe houses everywhere on both sides of the road. There are no bricks and tiles on the houses, only dilapidated thatch.
Next to the adobe house, surrounded by a deep ditch, the ditch is full of black water with various sundries floating there, a large group of naked children are playing by the ditch, they saw Lin Yuan's convoy approaching They all ran over and watched curiously.
Shen Wanqing took out a handful of fruit candy from her pocket and threw it at the children. Seeing this, Lin Yuan hurriedly shouted: "Don't give it to them!"
But it was too late for Lin Yuan's words. Shen Wanqing's candy had already flown to the children. Shen Wanqing looked at Lin Yuan in surprise and asked, "Why can't you give them candy? Look at how many children there are." pitiful."
Lin Yuan sighed softly, pointed to the child and said, "You will understand in a while."
Shen Wanqing looked at Lin Yuan's fingers, and saw that the children had already huddled together for candy, some of them burst into tears, and some children who ate the candy were pinned down by other children. Beating on the ground, screaming non-stop.
Lin Yuan said helplessly: "See? This is the consequence of giving them candy. If you don't have the ability to give everyone a candy, then don't give them a single candy."
Shen Wanqing was sad for a while, and said sadly: "These children are really pitiful."
At this moment, Chen Fei's voice suddenly came from the communicator: "Da Lin is the master, Paglish said that the house in front is her home, we should stop."
Without waiting for Lin Yuan to speak, Shen Wanqing picked up the communicator and said, "Okay, order the troops to get off the car, and all the streets leading to Paglish's house are blocked."
Fade Chen said with a smile, "Of order, Mrs. Yazhai!" After finishing speaking, Fade Chen led the troops out of the car. Paglish's house happened to be on the side of the road, so Fade Chen led people to walk behind her house, but Soon Fade Chen discovered that Shen Wanqing's method of blocking the street would not work, because there was a large area of low-rise houses behind Paglish's house, and these houses were so dense that only a small gap in the middle of the house could pass through. There are so many small gaps that they cannot be blocked at all.
Fade Chen immediately told Shen Wanqing about the situation, and Shen Wanqing was also very helpless, so she asked Fade Chen to only surround Paglish's house, and Lin Yuan took Shen Wanqing and the entourage out of the armored transport vehicle , led by Paglish to her home. There is a small yard in front of her home. Through the low courtyard wall, you can see that there are hills of sundries piled up in the yard.
Paglish pushed open the courtyard door, and saw a dozen or so children running out of it, all of whom looked seven or eight years old and had no clothes on. Lin Yuan was taken aback, and asked Paglish: "Didn't you say that your children Are you only two years old?"
"They're children of my relatives and we live together," Paglish said.
While they were talking, the group of children gathered around Paglish and yelled loudly. Zhang Han said to Lin Yuan: "Listen to the names these children call Paglish, they should be Paglish's nephews. and niece."
Paglish took out the candy and other snacks from the bag and distributed them to the children. At this time, six or seven adults, both men and women, came out of the room. Paglish hugged, and several women started to cry. Zhang Han said to Lin Yuan: "They are all from Mrs. Paglish's family, and the oldest person among them is her father-in-law. None of these people Paglish's husband, probably her husband is dead."
After Paglish met with his relatives, he introduced them to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan said hello to them one by one. At this time, the oldest old man walked up to Lin Yuan and said, "I am the head of this family. My name is Lulatino, my dear guest, please come and sit at home."
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, but when he walked to the door, he found that the room was pitifully small, the ground was full of messy things, and there was no place to stand, so Lin Yuan could only say, "Let's chat in the yard."
Luladino was also full of shame, and agreed, and Lin Yuan asked, "Old man, do you have any wishes for the future?"
Luladino shook his head and said, "I don't have any wishes, as long as I don't starve to death."
These people were tortured by life and had no desires anymore. Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness, and then asked: "Old man, what do you and your son do in Calcutta?"
Luladino sighed, and said: "There is nothing to do, just watch the faces of the British to eat every day. If the British have something to do for us, we won't starve to death. Now the British in the rich area Run away, and we have nothing to do."
Lin Yuan thought for a while and asked, "Since you can't stay in the city, why don't you go to the countryside to farm?"
Luladino shook his head and said, "We are from the countryside. We don't have any land, so we can only rent land from landlords. But the rent is too high, so we might as well live in the city."
Lin Yuan suddenly realized that India in this era is a country that implements private ownership of land. Even in his own era, India is also a country where land is privately owned. Many Indian farmers do not have land and can only live in cities. They can't afford houses in the city, so they can only live in temporary shacks. That's why there are so many slums in India, the second largest in the world and the largest in Asia - the Hadavi slum is the second largest in India. Big city, Mumbai.
Lin Yuan thought to himself that reforming India seems to start with reforming the land and distributing the land equally to people of all castes so that they are economically equal. Only when they are economically equal can they be equal in other aspects.
Lin Yuan was thinking about it when suddenly a soldier ran in and whispered something beside Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan frowned and asked in surprise, "Who is he and why did he want to see me?"
The soldier said softly: "We don't know either. You told us that we need to learn more about the situation from the local population in a foreign land, so I came to you after he came to make a request."
Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "I agree to see him, you let him go directly to the yard, and I will talk to him face to face."
The soldier nodded, turned around and ran out. The soldier whispered to Lin Yuan just now, no one heard him except Lin Yuan. Seeing the soldier ran out, everyone hurriedly asked Lin Yuan, "Commander Lin, who wants to come in to see you?" ?”
