Chapter 207: The Opportunity to Make a Fortune Overseas by the Wind

"Every summer and autumn in Hokkaido, schools of salmon and other fish are caught in the sea, filling the river in droves of them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info a net to cast down, as little as dozens of catties, as many as hundreds of catties. Most of the fish weigh seven catties, and a family can catch two or three thousand catties of dried fish every year, and they don't have to worry about eating for a year. After swimming upstream, the fish spawn in the aquatic plants of the river, densely packed with tens of millions, and one out of seven fish eggs is the size of an egg. And fish roe is rare in the world, and regular food has the effect of prolonging life, so there are more than 100-year-old elders in the local hairy people......"

When the drinkers heard this, they sighed and lamented that there are such delicacies in the world, but they are not in Middle-earth!

"You fool, Hokkaido only has food in your eyes!" Someone in the audience teased.

The drinkers laughed when they heard this, and the man just now turned around his head in a slightly embarrassed way.

"Brothers who have watched "Overseas Gonzo" must know that Hokkaido does not only catch inexhaustible fish roe that is good for longevity? There are also precious medicinal materials such as 100-year-old ginseng and reishi mushrooms that are all over the mountains. There are also foxes, minks, bears, tigers and other wild beasts that roam the mountains, and which of their furs is not sold for tens or hundreds of times in the Xinxiang Palace? Last month, a white fox fur auctioned at the Xinxiang Hall was as high as 3,000 guan. We don't need anything else, as long as we have a good archery skill, we will come back from a trip to Hokkaido and be a rich man with a lot of money. ”

"I don't know how much prey I have to hunt in Hokkaido for a few years to make a lot of money?" One of the drinkers stood up and drank a glass of wine and retorted, and many of the drinkers laughed for a while.

Another person among the drinkers said, "Hunting fur and picking ginseng and reishi mushrooms is not only in Hokkaido, but it is mentioned in this magazine. The vast area of the northeastern part of Angola is dozens of times larger than that of Hokkaido, and there are more prey, mountain ginseng, and reishi. Instead of crossing the sea to Hokkaido, it is better to go to the nearest northeastern part of An. ”

When a group of drinkers on the first floor were discussing, a strange scream made everyone look sideways.

"I'm a mother! Taiwan is rich in gold mines in the river valleys and mountains, and you can get one or two gold in a day of gold mining. On the first floor of Chang'an West City, a fat man with a generous appearance looked at the "Overseas Gonzo" in his hand and exclaimed.

"What is gold mining? Do you know what the price of sugar is today? Immediately, he was sat on the side of the wine case, and was disturbed by the fat man, with sword eyebrows, a cold face, and a young man dressed as a swordsman sneered.

"I don't know?" The fat man hurriedly shook his head.

"The most inferior brown sugar in Chang'an costs 600 wen a pound, the first-class brown sugar has to be consistent, and the most refined yellow sand sugar is now sold for three times a pound."

"My mother, isn't this the same as robbing money?"

The young swordsman Leng Jun's sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning, this fat man is a ghost! I want to slap this fat man in both mouths.

"Haha! There is not so much money to grab, and the price of sugar is still unmarketable. Wang Jun, a wealthy businessman in Chang'an, said with envy, and looked at the young swordsman a few more times.

"The price of Datang sugar is so high that it is in short supply, but Taiwan Island is a treasure land that can produce 10,000 catties of sugarcane per mu, and it is still a terra nullius land with more than 20 million mu. According to a certain saying, instead of going to the mountains to pan for gold and hunting, it is better to reclaim cultivated land and grow sugarcane, and ten acres of sugarcane can be sold for more than 3,000 yuan in a year. What about gold panning? You can get one or two a day, but who can guarantee that you can do it every day of the year? Hunting is even more difficult, and although wild beasts are not as intelligent as humans, they are not caught with their hands tied. Cultivating sugarcane is a sure profit. ”

Wang Jun's words were like waking up from a dream, and Wang Jun was a well-known wealthy businessman in Chang'an, with a rich fat body and a white and pure round face, someone immediately recognized him.

Those who can come to get drunk and drink are not people who lack money, even if it is on the first floor.

Many drinkers still had the "Overseas Gonzo" they bought, and hurriedly opened the page introducing the island of Taiwan, while those who didn't bring it leaned over to watch it.

"What Brother Wang said is so reasonable, I am ashamed that I didn't see the most profitable way to read the magazine." A rugged middle-aged man put down the magazine in his hand and praised it.

"In the past, I organized people to open mines, and it was much more difficult to mine in the mountains than farming. Since it is mining gold, it has to prevent strongmen from killing people and robbing money. ”

After thinking about it, all the drinkers nodded approvingly, thinking about it, it is safer to plant sugarcane, and you can harvest it after planting it for a year, and you will make a steady profit. If you recruit 180 people to go to Taiwan to reclaim and plant, 10 acres of sugarcane alone will cost 3,000 yuan, so isn't 100 acres worth 10,000 yuan? It's only been a year, but it's much faster than going to Hokkaido and northeastern Antoku to hunt.

If you start a plantation and become a sugar mill owner and a sugar seller, wouldn't you make more money? A group of drinkers are alive and planning to go to Taiwan to grab land after the New Year.

With the hot sales of "Overseas Strange Stories" in Chang'an, the overseas things published in it spread rapidly in Chang'an, and in only two or three days, it spread throughout the surrounding counties of Chang'an, China and the same states, and went out of Tongguan in the east, becoming the most popular topic for the people in Guanzhong at the end of the year.

After receiving the manuscript of "Overseas Strange Stories" sent from Chang'an, the branch of the Royal Weekly in Luoyang, which was sent from Chang'an, was sold to the public through a newsstand in Luoyang City only four days later than Chang'an, which quickly detonated the topic of Luoyang.

By the time the New Year arrived, the news published in "Overseas Strange Stories" took Chang'an and Luoyang as the starting point, and spread out to the surrounding areas very quickly, attracting the attention of people from all walks of life who were dissatisfied with the current state of life.

"There are more than 20 million acres of ownerless cultivated land on the island of Taiwan, which is very suitable for sugarcane cultivation and can be harvested in one year. A family of five in Quanzhou sailed to Taiwan to cultivate 10 acres of arable land to grow sugarcane, and a year later cut 100,000 catties of sugarcane in the field and sold it to a merchant for 3,000 yuan......"

In an ordinary liquor shop outside the Jinguang Gate of Chang'an City, a young man who was no more than fourteen years old read aloud with the boiling "Overseas Strange Stories" passed on in Chang'an in the past few days, and the more he read it, the more he read it, his breathing was slightly short, and his eyes were shining, as if there was something great in the magazine that attracted him.

Beside the young man, there were more than a dozen big men with horizontal knives sitting around, listening calmly, and even forgot to move the wine he liked on the table.

When the young man finished reading "Overseas Gonzo" in his crisp voice, he looked at the colorful magazine in front of him, and couldn't put his hands down for a long time.

"Damn, that little boy in Quanzhou earns a thousand times a year by plowing ten acres of land, and our brothers are working hard to serve as guards for the caravan outside, licking blood on the knife edge, and there will be a hundred times a year to smoke from the ancestral grave." Among the many big men sitting around, one of them immediately went crazy and shouted with jealousy.

"Taiwan Island is so good, you can become rich by planting land, so let's just pack up our guys and go to Taiwan to reclaim fields and plant sugarcane."

"Yes, this magazine said that the island of Taiwan now has more than 20 million acres of terra nullius. Let's go and open him now, no one will fight with us, if we go late, the news will be known to the north and south, but there will be nothing for us. ”

"Leader Song, can you give the big guy an idea?"

More than a dozen big men looked forward to the leader of Song He, who led them to the south and north, the Western Regions, and the Tianshan Mountains.

"Uncle......" The young man's eyes were eager, and he wanted to take his brothers to Taiwan, and he would also bring his brothers and sisters with him. Since his father died early, his family has relied on his uncle to help him live, and Song Qingjiang, who has long lived a poor life, learned about the overseas news published in "Overseas Gonzo", and his whole heart couldn't calm down to read.

As a guard, Song He, who has been passing through the desert Gobi and barren mountains for many years, has a face full of vicissitudes. lovingly patted the back of Song Qingjiang's head and scolded with a smile: "You little rabbit cub is not good at studying, you will be an official in the imperial examination in the future, and you will be glorious, what are you doing with us rough people who don't know a single big word?" When you go to Taiwan to make a fortune, your uncle will take your brothers there, and you will stay in your hometown to take care of your mother, aunt and younger siblings. ”

"Hahaha...... Song Xiaoyang, you want to go out with us before your hair grows? Did you leave your family behind? More than a dozen long-bearded men who had no discipline made fun of Song Qingjiang, and Song Qingjiang's face was flushed and he didn't know how to refute this group of fierce men.

It wasn't until Song He spoke that the brothers stopped talking loudly.

Song He knocked his fingers on the table and said in a deep voice: "Since "Overseas Gonzo" writes Taiwan as a place to make a fortune, whether it is true or not, let's go and break through for those who lick blood from the knife edge." If you become rich, if you don't, it's just a wild place, and it's a big deal to run in vain. ”

"Leader Song is right, what can a wilderness threaten our lives." A group of brothers in Song River shouted happily.
