In such anticipation, Chen Wenhui led the first batch of craftsmen and the first batch of migrants of about 10,000 people, and began to set off for Shanghai City by boat. When I arrived in Shanghai City, I rested for two days. Qiu Bi and others first took the people and some craftsmen to Yizhou Island. In fact, these two days of rest have brought huge pressure to Shanghai City, after all, nearly 20,000 people have eaten, drank, lived and traveled, which is not a trivial matter, and Chen Wenhui has spent a huge amount of money in these two days. However, Chen Wenhui still insisted on repairing in Shanghai for two days. Because these people are all northerners, if they don't rest on land for two days, the next voyage to Yizhou Island will definitely cause the illness of the personnel, and there may be a phenomenon of attrition, which Chen Wenhui does not want to see.

Besides, Chen Wenhui has always valued people more than money, so he ordered repairs. Then, Qiubi took them to Xinguang Island first. When they arrived at Xinguang Island, they had to let these people repair for another ten days before they set off. This kind of sectional march costs a lot more money, but it is much better for the health of the personnel, so this migration, although there is also a phenomenon of attrition, but there are very few, probably dozens of people died, these people are because of their poor physique. This effect is still very satisfactory to Chen Wenhui.

You must know that in this era, it is normal for half of the people to die during a big migration. The Manchu civil and military were surprised to know that so few people died in this migration, and those officials who strongly opposed the migration spoke less confidently. Of course, this is all an afterthought, right now, Chen Wenhui has just sent off the big boats, and she has to stay in Shanghai for a few days. A few days later, when everything in Shanghai City is arranged, she will take her relatives and set off on a fast boat, and she will probably be able to reach Yizhou Island with the big boats.

Chen Wenhui and Princess Lichuan returned to the city lord's mansion from the dock. Chen Wenhui said to Princess Lichuan and his wife: "I think the eldest aunt has already told you. Am I built up? ”

Xu Wenchang stopped talking and looked at Princess Lichuan. Princess Lichuan said, "Sister Wenhui, you are still so direct." ”

Chen Wenhui pursed her lips and smiled.

Princess Lichuan said: "My father loves me the most, I know this." Therefore, the income of Shanghai City, my father will never take it back from me. However, born in the royal family. I know best. Rather than waiting for my brother to ask for this benefit in the future, I should now ask my father for something better. It is better to have something that will not make the future emperor jealous. ”

Chen Wenhui immediately looked at Princess Lichuan with admiration, this cousin really inherited the intelligence of her eldest aunt.

Princess Lichuan continued: "It's you, I am surprised that you know how to make trade-offs at such a young age. And. You've really changed something good. I'm envious. Although Shanghai City has a lot of income, it is a big Chu after all. It belongs to my father, and it will be my brother's in the future, not mine. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Sister Princess said this, is she considering my construction? ”

Princess Lichuan said, "Yes. I also looked at the charts, and the place you chose for me was really good. I have also written a letter to my father. My father was also very impressed. The main thing is that Wen Hui's sister said that that place is a good place to produce rice. In the future, it may become the granary of Da Chu. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Actually, that place is the best for you. Because whether it is the emperor or the future emperor, they all trust you the most, that place is backed by Da Chu, and if you can get help from Da Chu, you can also help Da Chu. With you guarding there, in the future, whether Da Chu needs food or an army, he can get your help. You'll be the princess of Zhenguo. ”

Lichuan Gong took the initiative. That's something she didn't expect. In the past, I just wanted to have a place of my own, but later, the emperor said that it could be used as the granary of Da Chu, but now Chen Wenhui has put forward a third point, which can protect Da Chu. This made Princess Lichuan, who was loyal to Da Chu, really moved.

"And, as I said, the best place in the world to grow rice is there," Chen said. In the future, not only will it be able to supply the grain of the whole of Dachu, but maybe it will also be able to supply the grain of Luzon Island. My Luzon island has many mountains and few plains, and now the population is small, and it is easy to feed, and in the future, I will have to rely on you for food. Therefore, I also hope that the place belongs to the princess's sister, so that she can watch and help me. This is my little selfishness. ”

Princess Lichuan laughed and said, "Wen Hui, talking to you is worry-free." I'll think about what you said. You start with the first stand. In the future, I will also go overseas for development. Now, my father said that Shanghai City is still under construction, and we want our husband and wife to manage it for him for a few more years. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This is true. Shanghai City is the center of the entire maritime trade, and when Shanghai City is stabilized, our overseas bases will not become rootless wanderers. ”

Princess Lichuan nodded.

Chen Wenhui said to Xu Wenchang: "Brother Pony, I'm going to Nanyang, can you return Wan Shuhui to me?" ”

Xu Wenchang laughed and said: "This Wan Shuhui is really capable, I use it very easily, I really don't want to return it to you." However, you need her more now, and, as soon as she hears that you are going to Nanyang, she can't sit still and will resign from everything. It seems that she is very loyal to you. ”

Chen Wenhui was very happy to hear this and said, "Really? It's not in vain that I trust her. I need her very much, this time to Nanyang, not only to use the bank, but also to use her in many places, she is a huge help in my plan. By the way, Brother Concubine, how is the trade in Silla, Goguryeo, and Wa now? ”

Xu Wenchang frowned and said: "It's not as good as before, it almost affected the tax revenue of our Shanghai City, but fortunately, now there is trade on Yizhou Island, otherwise, the shrinkage of the trade of Silla, Goguryeo, and the Japanese Kingdom is enough for me to have a headache." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "So, these three countries are in chaos? ”

Xu Wenchang said: "Originally, these three countries were very small and poor, and the wealth accumulated for hundreds of years was exchanged for most of the porcelain, silk, tea, wine and other things by our merchants in Dachu in a few years. But those nobles in their country are extremely poor and extravagant, completely ignoring the lives of the people, constantly oppressing the people, and those people can't live anymore. Originally, this speed could have been faster, but fortunately, many people have gone to Yizhou Island to work in recent years, and they have earned a lot of money to get back, otherwise they would not have been able to support it for a long time. By the way, there is also an advantage to this matter, that is, there are more people who are willing to go to Yizhou Island to work. Your brother should be happy. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "In the future, it should be better." Because the salary I give is better than that given by Yizhou Island, I believe that I will be able to attract more people from the three countries to work. By the way, our Chen family has already negotiated with the emperor how to exchange those benefits of Shanghai City for the management of Silla and Goguryeo. If nothing else, the Chen family will take over these two countries in the future. At that time, the economies of these two countries will be able to recover, and with the ability to trade directly with the Chen people, the trade volume of Shanghai City will reach a new high. ”

Princess Lichuan smiled and said, "This father also gave me a letter." My father was also in favor of this. The one in your family has also already told his father that he will exchange it for the territory of the Wa Kingdom. In the future, your brother will be able to run the Wa Kingdom, and the economy of the Wa Kingdom will be restored, so won't our Shanghai city be more prosperous? Anyway, my income is getting higher and higher. Originally, I didn't need so much money, but now, I was bewitched by you and wanted to invest in Nanyang, want to have my own territory, which is very money-burning, just manage for a few more years, make more money, and have my own foundation in the future. ”

Xu Wenchang said: "Princess, don't worry, in addition to the trade in these places, Shanghai City will be able to add new routes next year, which is Wenhui's sister Luzon Island." Isn't that another gain? ”

Princess Lichuan stroked her palms and said with a smile: "Yes, compared to the Chen clan, Chen Wenjun's means of coming to you are even higher, and besides, if the four cities are built together, they will definitely develop quickly." It is believed that next year, Luzon's specialties will appear in Shanghai. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed and said, "Thank you, sister princess, brother Pony for your love." Actually, you're still conservative. I think that in nine months at the earliest, the first batch of Luzon specialties will be sold to Shanghai. So, I'll start trading the new route now. ”

Princess Lichuan paused for a moment and asked, "How can it be so fast?" With so many of you, how long will it take for all of them to reach Luzon, how long will it take half a year? What about rebuilding cities? When the city walls are repaired, a year may not be enough. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "What Sister Princess said is not wrong. All the personnel arrived, and it would take half a year. The city wall will definitely not be repaired in a year, and it will take three years anyway. But, sister, my walls may not have been repaired. But my workshop is ready to go. If all the personnel are not there, the workshop can produce the finished product. The first batch was a variety of wood furniture. Sister Princess knows that I brought a lot of craftsmen this time, many of them are the top in the capital, and there are also people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I arrived in Luzon to clear the land, which is still a tropical rainforest. I will first organize people to cut down trees and clear the wasteland. I won't put the felled trees there in vain, my furniture workshop will make these trees into the most beautiful furniture and bring them to Dachu. ”

Lichuan almost jumped up and said: "It's true, Wen Hui, you are really a business wizard, why didn't I think that in this way, within nine months, you will be able to produce in Luzon." No, maybe, it will be shipped to Shanghai City in half a year, and I will now discuss the new route with the horses, and I will also set the price, and inform the maritime merchants in Shanghai City that this is a big matter, and I can't sell it cheaply.
