Chapter 460: Occupy New England
Sun Dewang drove the carriage for more than five hours, and it was already eleven o'clock in the morning when he came to Chang'an City.
The military station is the military station of the headquarters, responsible for the rationing of all immigrants, Sun Dewang drove the carriage and came to the gate of the military station, Sun Caixi got off the carriage and went to the guard room to go through the formalities, at this time there were not many people who came to receive the rations, Sun Caixi quickly completed the formalities, he handed the pass to his grandfather, and went to find his old classmate An Yunfei.
An Yunfei is the flag soldier on the battleship "Zheng He No. 6", and now he has been transferred to work at the military station and is the deputy station commander of the military station.
The stationmaster's room was in a row of bungalows on the right side of the compound of the military station, An Yunfei was surprised to see Sun Caixi who came to him, and the two hugged each other happily and tightly.
"You kid, I won't see you come back when I go home to get married, what have you been doing for the past two years?" An Yunfei pulled Sun Caixi to sit down and said while pouring him tea.
Sun Caixi said excitedly: "Tell me first, what did you do after we separated?" ”
"You kid still have this character, I'll say it first, I'll say it first. I later joined the Navy, served as a flag soldier on a warship, and now I have come to the Americas, where I have just taken up my post as deputy director of the station. What about you? ”
Sun Caixi said: "After I returned to my hometown to get married, I stayed in my hometown and participated in the land restructuring work in my hometown, and later responded to the call of the mountain chief and immigrated to the Americas. When I was going through the formalities in the guard room just now, I saw your name, and when I inquired, I learned that you also came to the Americas, and you are the deputy head of the military station. ”
An Yunfei asked, "What kind of work are you doing now?" ”
Sun Caixi said: "As a technical instructor in the reclamation corps, the more important job is to take care of your own manor. My estate has 50 acres of tobacco land, and I am going to build a flue-cured tobacco factory, and I have heard that tobacco is very popular in the European market, and in England, the price of tobacco can be sold at the price of gold. ”
An Yunfei said: "Now Europeans are also popular to smoke, and the prospect of tobacco is very grand!" ”
Sun Caixi said: "I see how much the Indians love tobacco, and I know that it will make a lot of money by trafficking tobacco to Europe." These Indians, who hold a cigarette pouch every day and do not smoke for a day, are in a trance, and as long as they smoke, it is difficult to get rid of the temptation of smoking. ”
An Yunfei asked: "I heard that smoking is addictive?" ”
"Just look at the Indians."
An Yunfei knew that smoking would be addictive, not because he had seen it with his own eyes, because Ma Jin had already given them an order that no one was allowed to smoke Indian cigarettes, and the order clearly stated that those cigarettes were addictive, and once they smoked, they couldn't quit if they wanted to. An Yunfei heard that Sun Caixi's family grew tobacco, so he asked him curiously.
An Yunfei has also come into contact with many Indians, and there are many Indians engaged in carrying work in the military station, of course, more of them are those third-class people engaged in heavy physical labor.
"It's a people's business if you don't get addicted, and our army has strict rules that you are not allowed to smoke." An Yunfei poured tea for Sun Caixi and asked, "Is your father here too?" ”
Sun Caixi was thirsty, he took a big sip of the teacup, and replied, "No, I didn't come this time, it was my grandfather, the second uncle, and the third uncle who came." ”
An Yunfei said enthusiastically: "Today I invite you to go to Huiyuan Restaurant for a meal!" ”
Sun Caixi arched his hand and said, "Thank you!" Thanks a lot! I have received the friendship of brothers, this time the time in the capital is very tight, we have to rush back to the manor on the same day, in the future, there will be opportunities in the future. ”
An Yunfei asked with concern, "Why don't you stay in the city for one night?" ”
"The house is about to run out of cooking, and hundreds of people are waiting to eat!" Sun Caixi stood up and wanted to leave.
"Sit down, sit down." An Yunfei pressed him on the chair, "Your car is not full yet, let's talk a few more words." ”
"If you miss me, go to Dewang Manor to find me!"
Sun Caixi seemed to have misunderstood An Yunfei's meaning, and An Yunfei told him that he would reveal some information to him, so that he could sit down and listen to An Yunfei.
"You know what? Our Chinese navy went north along the coastline, and found a colony that the British had developed there, and the British named that place New England, and there was a city of its size, called Boston, and we had already taken this place, and I will go there with the team in a few days. ”
Sun Caixi was not surprised, and said: "I also know about the occupation of New England, and the militia command has already communicated it to us. ”
Sun Caixi was right, the occupation of New England was also conveyed within the militia command in the Americas, the British set up a colony around Boston, and planted a large amount of tobacco, cotton, cane sugar, and coffee to sell to Europe, this area was named New England by the British, and was occupied by the Chinese army two months ago, and all the Europeans in this area were destroyed.
An Yunfei said: "Since you know, I don't need to explain more." If you want to make tobacco, make it bigger, I heard that there are large tobacco plantations in Boston, why not go to Boston and contract those tobacco fields? ”
Sun Caixi said: "I don't have so much money now, although my family only has 50 acres of tobacco land now, but there are still 100 acres of uncultivated virgin land, and after the black slaves have reclaimed those lands, what they want to plant is not up to me?" So, I'm not in a hurry to get rich, I first practice on fifty acres of land, and after making achievements, it's not too late to expand the scale. ”
An Yunfei said: "Caixi, I really envy you!" I want to stay here after I am discharged from the army, and I will make a fortune with you, I have already seen that tobacco can make a fortune, and coffee can also make a fortune, I decided to plant coffee beans after I am discharged from the army, and when the time comes, I hope you will help me, brother. ”
Sun Caixi said modestly: "Get rich together, get rich together!" After saying that, he got up and prepared to leave, "But then again, I still want my brother to take care of our family!" ”
"Well said, well said." An Yunfei also stood up, "As long as I'm still in the military station, I can help whoever I can get." ”
"Stay, stay."
……
Sun Caixi returned to the courtyard and saw that his five carriages were full of grain, and his grandfather Sun Dewang was anxiously waiting for him to return.
"Grandpa!"
"Xi'er, you're finally back, let's hurry up!"
Sun Caixi got into the carriage and asked, "Did the loading go well?" ”
Sun Dewang said: "There are dozens of black slaves in the military station who are responsible for loading the trucks, so we don't need to do it ourselves. Where did you go? How did you go for so long? ”
"I met an old classmate, who is now the deputy head of the military station, and in the future, if you have any difficulties in Chang'an, you can go to him for help."
"What's the name of this deputy stationmaster?"
"An Yunfei."
