On the north side of Ryukyu Island, more than a dozen large ships are sailing with the wind, their sails blown by the wind, and seagulls chirping around the ships, anchoring on the ship's mast from time to time to rest.

"Uh~"

Shuiwa admits that she regrets it, regrets going to Ryukyu and staying in her hometown, although it is bitter, although she can't eat enough, but at least she doesn't have to get seasick.

Shuiwa is a native of Henan, Henan has belonged to the Central Plains since ancient times, because of its long history, coupled with the open terrain of the platform, so Henan has been a province with a large population since ancient times.

Compared with its huge population, the land in Henan is very small, and the contradiction between people and land is extremely acute.

Compared with the ordinary people of other provinces, the ordinary people of Henan have a more difficult life, although they are equally industrious and simple, but in this agrarian society, too few fields doom the people here to be very poor.

The water baby is the kind that belongs to the bottom, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, not counting a few who died young, the water baby family has seven brothers and sisters, but the water baby family does not even have an acre of land, the family is larger to the landlord's old wealth to farm the land, and the smaller one is to the landlord's old cattle and sheep.

Life is very poor, and it is really difficult to eat a full meal at the end of the year.

Not long ago, someone from the government came forward to bring people to Henan to recruit people, saying that they were recruiting some people to develop Ryukyu Island, and as long as they were willing to move to Ryukyu Island, they would be guaranteed to have three meals a day and enough to be full, and they would have one or two silver a month of work, and after one year of work, they would be given three acres of land.

Shuiwa has many brothers and sisters, Shuiwa is the eldest, just seventeen years old this year, it is the time when half of the eldest child eats Lao Tzu to death, so as soon as Shuiwa said that he wanted to try it, his parents agreed without thinking about it.

It doesn't matter if it's real or fake, it's always good to go out and break through, as for whether you will be deceived or something, you don't care, as long as you give food to eat, this is a cow and a horse, a slave and a maid.

are all poor and miserable, not so hypocritical, there is food, just don't starve to death.

So Shui Wa followed thousands of people about the same size as herself from Henan to Tianjin, and then took a ride all the way south from Tianjin, about to arrive at Ryukyu Island.

He had never been far away, and even before, the farthest place he had gone was the town where he was, but this time, he had gone so far all at once.

The water baby from the beginning of the fresh, to Tianjin after the boat became extremely painful, because he would be seasick, a full half a month, from Tianjin to the present, he has never adapted, every day dizzy, every day vomit.

If it weren't for the fact that the boat was full and there was meat to eat, Shui Wa, a poor boy, although he vomited, he ate a lot of food at every meal, otherwise he would definitely not be able to bear it.

"Water baby, are you okay?"

Next to the water baby, the fire baby from the same village asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm used to it, I just don't know when this Ryukyu Island will arrive, it's been half a month at sea."

Shui Wa shook her head and said.

"Who knows, I heard from the people on the ship, it will be almost there in these two days, but I heard people say, this Ryukyu Island is full of miasma, mosquitoes are rampant, and there are man-eating barbarians, will we die on Ryukyu Island?"

Huowa thought for a while and said.

The ship is a group of teenagers of about the same age, and they are carefully selected when recruiting, the older ones are poor in learning ability, and they are slippery, so they can't ask for them, and the young ones can't do the work, and they are a burden, so seventeen or eighteen years old is the best, and all the first batch of recruits to go to the Ryukyus are all of this age.

People at this age are still young and malleable, as long as they are well educated, they can still make up for it, and they have grown up and have the strength, and they will not delay the construction and development of Ryukyu Castle.

After all, this side of Ryukyu Island is a private development, and this Ryukyu City was also built by Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao, and Zhang Mao, in order to grow sugar cane and make money from sugarcane, but it is not an official immigration and development.

In general, Liu Jin still has to consider the issue of profitability, considering that the investment can be returned, and throwing a lot of money down is not for the sake of doing good deeds.

"Bell~Bell~"

At this time, the bell on the ship rang, everyone suddenly came to the spirit, it was very boring on the ship, whenever the bell rang, there must be something, it used to be basically eating, but looking at the time, it seems that now is not the time to eat.

"Ryukyu Island is just ahead, and we can reach Ryukyu Island before sunset today."

The sailors on the ship began to shout to the crowd with a large tin horn that they were about to arrive at the Ryukyu Road.

"It's finally here~"

The water baby was also relieved after hearing this, and finally arrived at Ryukyu Island.

Then everyone looked forward one by one, and faintly from the sea could see the outline of the land, and in the field of vision, this outline became clearer and larger, and gradually the entire field of vision was covered.

More than a dozen ships seemed to have eyes at a glance, and it was natural to find the Tamsui River, and along the Tamsui River, it was natural to find the Ryukyu Castle, which was under construction.

This has to say that Liu Jin established the benefits of Tianjin Maritime Academy, because there is systematic training, so as long as the location is marked on the map, these crew members can easily find the place, even if they have never been to this place.

"Haha, I guess you should have arrived in the past two days, but seeing that you haven't come, I thought you were taken to the sea by pirates and pirates to feed the fish?"

At the wharf of the Tamsui River Bay outside Ryukyu City, Li Yuanshan said to a person with a smile on his face, this person's name is Fei Yi, he is the captain of the second batch of fleets, and he also graduated from Tianjin Maritime College, and he is still in the same period as Li Yuanshan, so he is a classmate.

"Pirates? Woko? ”

"When you came, did you meet pirates and pirates?"

When Fei Yi heard this, he immediately asked quickly.

"I met them, and I fought with them fiercely, and sent all those pirates and pirates to feed the sharks."

"Didn't you meet it?"

Liu Yuanshan replied.

"No, we had a smooth journey and didn't encounter anything."

Fei Yi shook his head and said.

"It's good that you haven't met it, I'm still worried that something will happen to you."

"By the way, does Liu Gongzi have anything to explain here?"

Li Yuanshan smiled, and then said very seriously.

"Liu Gongzi doesn't have anything to explain here, just let me ask you if you have any trouble here, and if you need support?"

Fei Yi shook his head and said.

"There is no trouble in trouble, it has been here for more than a month, nothing has happened, and the barbarians here have not come to look for trouble, that is, when they came again, they met the pirates and pirates, someone should have known our news in advance, so they were ambushed in advance and prepared to rob."

"After you go back, tell Liu Gongzi about this matter, pirates and pirates will pose a huge threat to our exchanges, and we must clear them as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect our plans in the future."

Li Yuanshan thought about it and told him about his encounter with pirates and pirates, he felt that this matter was very strange, it always seemed to have been calculated in advance, if it weren't for the sharp artillery and explosives packs, maybe something would really happen.

"Hmm~"

Fei Yi nodded and remembered the matter.

"How many people and supplies did you bring with you this time?"

After talking about business, Li Yuanshan hurriedly asked again.

"This time I brought 5,000 people over, all of them were teenagers, and the son meant to refer to the model of Tianjin, working during the day and taking night classes at night, all of them were still young and malleable, so they should be cultivated and cultivated well."

Fei Yi pointed to the crowd of people who were getting off the ship in the open space of the harbor behind him.

These people are very young, and they all look at everything around them with curious eyes, and there is fear and longing in their eyes.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Li Yuanshan nodded solemnly, everyone was cultivated by Liu Jin's model, and they had already played this set of games in Tianjin.

Liu Jin's industry continues to expand, often from one industry after another to manage out, where do these management come from, not by such a model, constantly cultivated.

Now the night classes in many industries under Liu Jin have become quite famous, so that hundreds of thousands of people who were illiterate before can read and hyphenate and calculate the arithmetic of short answers.

Some of them have strong learning ability and are willing to work people, and now they are the backbone of many industries under Liu Jin's command, and some night classes in Tianjin have been trained in this professional direction.

Like the night class in Tianjin Shipyard, the teaching is like this shipbuilding; The night classes here at Miyun Iron Factory teach how to make iron, etc., which are considered advanced night classes, which are only open to people with foundation, and they have also cultivated a steady stream of talents for Liu Jin.

"In addition, I also brought you a few boats of cement, I know that you need this the most, and there are steel bars produced by Miyun Iron Factory, reclamation tools, etc., in addition to 500,000 silver dollars, Gongzi said here, if you need anything, you can go to Fujian and Zhejiang to purchase, don't save money, spend it."

"Fujian and Zhejiang are close to each other, and ordinary things are easy to procure, and they are shipped from Tianjin, after all, they are still too far away, and it is more troublesome."

Fei Yi nodded, he was different from Li Yuanshan, Li Yuanshan was based here in Ryukyu City, and he needed the capital to travel back and forth between Tianjin and Ryukyu, responsible for transporting materials and people.

"I know that my side also has ships to purchase from Fujian almost every three or five days."

Li Yuanshan nodded and said.
