Chapter 486, This Is the Wild Land?

"Haha, I've finally arrived at Ryukyu, I heard that the construction of Ryukyu City is very good, and Liu Gongzi intends to implement the model of Ryukyu City overseas in the future, and finally has the opportunity to see it in person."

In the waters north of Ryukyu Island, a mighty fleet of ships has finally arrived in the Ryukyus.

On the 'Mount Tai', Taipinghou Du Mingen looked at the Ryukyu Island in front of him and couldn't help but laugh happily.

The journey was still very smooth, and the pirates and pirates encountered did not cause any casualties, and the pirates and pirates were directly beaten to pieces with artillery.

In the first battle, the Ryukyus arrived smoothly.

The bay of the Tamsui River outside Ryukyu Castle has become extremely busy, and the dock that has just been expanded is full of large and small ships, and hundreds of ships are almost overcrowded here.

Fortunately, Ryukyu Castle has been constantly expanding its docks and building ports, and it can barely meet the demand, and many small ships can just find a place to moorth, and large ships need to berth on the pier.

"This is Ryukyu Castle?"

"Didn't the book say that this place in Ryukyu is a land of extralegal barbarians, and miasma is rampant, and barbarians will eat people?"

On the ships, it was the first time for everyone to come to Ryukyu Castle, and they all watched everything here carefully.

The neat, clean and orderly wharf, although the scale is not too large, far from being comparable with the port of Tianjin, but it can berth hundreds of ships, and the port here is obviously still okay.

The docks are all made of concrete, and there is a very wide playground filled with boxes and boxes of goods, and a large number of porters are busy.

Not far away, Ryukyu Castle is a very tall and majestic castle wall, with a wide cement road leading to the pier, and you can also see a wide cement road from the castle gate to the end of the sight.

The fields outside the city are neat and tidy, dotted everywhere, almost all the farmland is square-shaped, endless, fertile for thousands of miles, there are busy figures in the farmland, and a large number of cattle and horses can be seen at the same time.

On the spacious cement road, there are horse-drawn carts and ox carts walking slowly, and this four-wheeled open ox cart and horse-drawn cart has a very strong carrying capacity and is often filled with all kinds of things.

Farther on the mountain, there are also rows of fruit trees planted, and there are also people weeding and tending to these fruit trees at this time; At the foot of the mountain are rows of brick houses, which look like breeding farms, in which a lot of cattle and sheep, chickens, ducks and pigs are raised.

Farther along the road, at the foot of the mountain, you can see a village, at this time the smoke is curling, and there are farmers who have been busy all day singing old folk songs slowly returning home in the sunset.

It was a completely isolated scene, and there was not a trace of a reckless place in sight, which made everyone who came to Ryukyu Castle for the first time dumbfounded.

It's completely different from what the book says.

"This is Ryukyu Castle?"

Zhu Ben got off the boat and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, no matter which direction he looked at, this place did not look like a wild place, but it was similar to the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.

No, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River is not as good as here, because it is very clean, the road is a spacious cement road, and even the canals on both sides of the road are made of cement, and the water is very clear.

Not far away in Ryukyu Castle, there are even more high-rise buildings, you can clearly see that there are many high-rise buildings inside, all the houses are built of reinforced concrete, the city wall is very tall, turrets are built on it, and a cannon is aimed at important checkpoints.

"It's unbelievable, I heard that the construction of this ball city only started last year, and in just over a year, it has created a paradise."

Feng Xiang's eyes also widened, a little hard to believe his eyes, and the whole person also sighed.

"Incredible, it's a miracle~"

Zhu Benduan also nodded.

The two followed the large army towards Ryukyu Castle.

Ryukyu Castle is different from all the cities of the Ming Dynasty, there is no one guarding the gate here, and no one collects tolls or anything, so it is very free to travel back and forth.

The two of them walked very slowly, carefully observing everything here as they walked.

"There are so many people today~"

"Isn't it, I heard that there are a lot of ships coming from Tianjin, and they are going to go to the South Seas, and they are going to rest here in our Ryukyu City for two days."

"That's a good dare, I don't know if there are any of our fellow villagers in Henan."

"There must be~ We also have Shandong, I have heard familiar voices."

Several peasants drove ox carts to deliver goods to Ryukyu Castle, and when they saw this huge procession, they also discussed.

"A few big brothers, it seems that your accent is from Henan and Shandong?"

Zhu Benduan and Feng looked at each other, and Zhu Benduan hurriedly asked, There are some things, ask these people who live here are the most able to grasp more accurate information.

"Yes, yes, I'm from Henan, this Brother Qin is from Shandong, and Lao Chen, he's from Shaanxi."

When Wang Laohan heard Zhu Benduan's words, he also quickly stopped, looked at Zhu Benduan and Feng Xiang, and arched his hand back.

"Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, that's far away~"

When Feng Xiang heard this, he said with a slight surprise.

"But no, when I first came here, I first walked for almost half a month to Tianjin, and then took a boat for half a month to get here, and I almost didn't give an account of this old bone."

Old man Chen nodded with a smile and said.

"It's really far away, it's hard to go back."

Qin Laosan also nodded and said.

"It's so far away, why are you here?"

Zhu Benduan nodded, and then asked with confusion.

"Why are you here?"

"Because life is better here, last year, my son came to Ryukyu City to do things, help build the city, plant sugarcane, because of his outstanding performance and hard work, so ah, Ryukyu City rewarded our family with more than 300 acres of land, how many fields, my son can't plant it alone."

"We were all hired farmers in our hometown and didn't have our own land, so after some discussion, the whole family came to Ryukyu Castle."

Wang Laohan smiled and said, then thought about it and added: "Their situation is similar to that of my family, both of them are sons who came here to build a city, grow sugar cane, and reward a lot of fields, so the family has migrated here." ”

"Yes, my son is very competitive, and last year he rewarded more than 200 acres of land, more than 200 acres of land, which is placed in our hometown, and it is all the old wealth of the landlord."

Old man Chen also nodded and said, his face was full of pride, obviously quite proud of his son.

"But isn't it, after hearing that my son rewarded more than 200 acres of land, our family unanimously decided to come here, hundreds of acres of land, how can we not give it up."

Qin Laosan also nodded, speaking of this, he looked more proud, there was a feeling of the owner, there is land and no land, those are completely different mentalities, there is land, even if it is a foreign country, it can be slowly built into his hometown, there is no land, even if it is his hometown, there is no place.

"And how are you doing here?"

Feng Xiang nodded, thought for a while and asked.

"Needless to say, it must be a very good life~"

A smile appeared on Wang Laohan's swarthy face.

"Not only do we have our own fields here, but our family has more than 300 acres of fields, dozens of acres are used to grow rice, a few acres are used to grow vegetables and pastures, and the rest is used for sugarcane, and then we can sell all of them to Ryukyu City."

"The water we use here is tap water, the roads we walk are all cement roads, and even the houses we live in are all houses made of reinforced concrete, whitewashed and snow-white."

"The things here are very cheap, the fish and meat in the sea cost two or three cents a pound, and there is no problem in eating a meal, and every family still has cattle or horses."

"In my life, I used to live in vain, and only when I came here can I really live a person."

When Old Man Wang said this, the whole person had a feeling of living in a dream, and he always felt a little unreal, and happiness came too suddenly.

Qin Laosan and Chen Laotou next to him also nodded.

"It's better to be here in Ryukyu City, where is my hometown of Shaanxi, on the high slope of loess, I don't see much rain all year round, and I have to go to a far place to pick up water, there are thousands of ravines everywhere, and it is too difficult to go out."

"Everyone says that my hometown is good, but I don't want to go back, and I will die here."

Old man Chen couldn't help but compare his hometown with here, he liked everything here very much, and he already liked the life here.

It is also tired, but here is the value of tiredness.

"Yes, it's better here, there is hope for the future, my grandson and granddaughter all go to private school to study, before, this is something that I can't think of, our old Qin family, we don't know how many lives in the ground to eat, now to the grandchildren, can finally go to school to read, can read and write."

Qin Laosan nodded solemnly, very satisfied with the life here.

After listening to the words of the three of them, Zhu Benduan and Feng Xiang looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of shock in each other's eyes, this place not only looked like a paradise, but a real paradise.

Every family has their own land, they have no worries about food and clothing, and children can go to school, study, and even girls can go to school, which is unbelievable and unbelievable.

However, looking at the happy and proud expressions on the faces of the three of them, the two of them believed that this was definitely not a lie to them, not to mention that the fleet had rested here for two days, and they had time to take a closer look at everything here in Ryukyu Castle.
