"How did a kid know about Xingye?" He Jinrong listened to his second son's words, and his eyebrows immediately wrinkled together.

"Hey, isn't there a lot of children from Jinhe Country in his school, and among them is the son of their emperor, who happens to have a good relationship with him, I heard about it. Father, there is one more thing I want to talk to you, don't be angry when you hear it...... "If Hong Tao hears the words of He Jinrong's second son, Hong Jinhe and Saifei's butts will not be able to be saved, and even Bo Zhu's butt will be implicated by his son. The plan to open the Great Food Route is an imperial secret, only some high-level officials know about it, and it can be passed out from Hong Jinhe and Saifei's mouths, and you can't blame the child, you have to blame Bozhu, it must be that she didn't avoid the child when she talked to others about business, which is a violation of the empire's secrecy regulations.

"What's the matter?" He Jinrong glanced at his second son and muttered a little in his heart. has grown up so much, this kid is the first time to talk to himself so solemnly, which means that the matter is small, don't he want to go to the company's ship to be a soldier! It is said that the Straits Company has recently purchased a lot of artillery and is in the process of forming its own escort team. said that it was used to protect merchant ships, but in fact, it was to prepare to play hard with the imperial court. In the waters of Southeast Asia, the merchant fleet of the Straits Company still uses escorts? As long as the copper coin flag is hung, no one dares to make trouble.

“…… I discussed with my eldest brother that I wanted to send Xingjia and Xingye to Jinhe Country as immigrants. They are much richer there than Fuzhou, and they are not bullied by officials. You, your eldest brother, and I are used to being bullied, it doesn't matter. But I don't want the next generation to suffer this sin again. It just so happened that the fourth and fifth children did the immigration. They can bring two dependents each. I'm thinking about letting you and my mother go over with Xingjia and Xingye. The eldest brother, the third brother and I all stayed in Fuzhou, and we will find a way to do it in a few years! The second son bit his lip and exerted his strength for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say what he wanted to say, and then he was much more relaxed, looking at his father with expectation, hoping that the old man would understand the hard work of his three brothers.

“…… Is Jinheguo really as good as you say? He Jinrong didn't expect that what the second brother and himself said was actually about it, and the two brothers wanted to send their sons to foreign countries, which was too surprising to the old man.

"Do you remember the brothers of the Liu family who used to move goods on the dock with us?" He Biao did not answer his father's question directly. Instead, he talked about someone else.

"Why don't you remember, I don't talk much all day, what happened to the two brothers who can eat for two?" He Jinrong quickly recalled the two people his son said, their family also moved south, and they have been following him to eat hard food on the dock, and they have a good body, but the amount of food is too large. After taking out a loan from his family to buy a boat and running a maritime businessman, he had no contact, because the two brothers were landlubbers and couldn't get on the boat.

"I met them at the port of Malacca half a year ago, and both of them emigrated to the country of Jinhe. Rely on the kiln. The ancestors of the two of them were from the Daimyo Mansion and their ancestral kiln firing skills. Don't look at it, no one cares about it in the Great Song Dynasty. When he arrived in Jinhe Country, he was considered a master, earning a lot every month, and giving him a house. And you only need to go for a year, even if you are a person from Jinhe Country, you don't have to wait for three years, what is this called skilled immigration, and it is written in those small books issued by the company. I chatted with them, Jinhe Country is indeed as rich as the legend, there are no beggars, no homeless people, everyone has a big house to live in, and the court also gives money to support the elderly when they are old, and the children do not need money to go to school, eat and see a doctor. The fourth and fifth children have not yet married a daughter-in-law, if they can marry a daughter-in-law of Jinhe Kingdom, they will immediately have a family property. It is said that everyone over there has shares in the imperial court, and at the end of the year, they all pay dividends, and the least is dozens of gold coins, hundreds of yuan! Since He Biao had made up his mind to let his son and nephew emigrate, he naturally inquired about the situation in Jinheguo, and now he told He Jinrong what he knew.

“…… That, why don't you two go, when you get over there, you can take care of it, and I'll stay here with the third child first. Leave me and your mother alone, we are all half-buried people in the loess, and we still have a few years to live! He Jinrong didn't dare to say that he believed all what his second son said, but he also believed most of it.

Few people really know what Jinhe Country is like, because few people have been there, and some news is mostly rumors and cannot be trusted. But the Liu brothers know each other, and the second son will not lie and deceive himself. Moreover, his fourth and fifth sons all attended the navigation school, and they did visit the capital of the Jinhe Empire, and when they returned home, they also talked to their families, and they were not worse than the second child, or even better. If that's the case, then why don't you let your sons go for a good future.

"Hey, you want to get the beauty, we want to go, but unfortunately, there are only four places, and if other relatives want to immigrate there, they will have to wait for the fourth and fifth to stay there for a few years. For people like us who don't have any skills and are old and have a family background, Jin Heguo doesn't want it right away, and has to wait in line for a place. This is because we are from the Strait Company, otherwise we wouldn't even have the opportunity to wait in line. He Biao couldn't laugh or cry, if he could go, he wouldn't have gone too soon, and Jin Heguo didn't accept it from everyone, so his father didn't read the immigration manual issued by the company at all.

"Still in line? Can you buy it with money? Dad gave you money, can you go earlier? He Jinrong suddenly became anxious.

"Oh, I said, Dad, don't make a mess. Pay for it? Do you think it's in the Great Song Dynasty? Those in office rejoice when they see the money! It's not that you haven't learned the articles of association in the company, this is called bribery, it is a crime, so that the company will sink directly in the sea, who dares to collect this deadly money? There is a life to collect a lifeless flower! He Biao let his father say that he was happy, like his generation can still accept some new things, but like his father's generation, unless they are literate and hyphenated, they are not very interested in these new things.

"How many years will it take to line up this line?" He Jinrong asked another question.

"I can't say, Jin Heguo's policy was only started the year before last, and the people in Guangzhou in the company applied the most, they are close to the company's headquarters, and they are close to the water. It seems that it was only approved last year, and it seems that it will take two or three years. He Biao had no accurate answer to his father's question, so he could only judge by himself based on some clues.

"Two or three years...... I don't know how the imperial court will deal with us disobedient people, if we really investigate it, we will ruin our family! You said that if you make a great contribution to the company, will you be able to advance it? He Jinrong's expression suddenly became a little strange, and his mouth kept chattering.

"Great merit? What's the big deal? What can we do in our family? The third child said that he wanted to join the escort team, but you didn't let him, can you still count on meritorious service? I said Dad, aren't you afraid that the company will win in the end and then squeeze out our family? Don't contribute when it's time to contribute, isn't this eating inside and out! I don't know what you think, if there is no money from the company, our family is still helping people unload goods on the dock. I won't talk to you, I'll go unload the cargo first, or you go to the eldest brother and ask, he may know better than me. As soon as he talked about meritorious service, He Biao was dissatisfied. This father is good at everything, but he is a little unfirm, and he always thinks that no one will be offended, and he is not as ruthless as other maritime merchants.

"Ask your eldest brother? He could kill me! I'd better ask the navigator to go, don't ask the people of Jinhe Country, let me ask that piece of wood, what kind of heart is An! He Jinrong didn't go to his eldest son He Hu, it was an elm pimple, and he couldn't kick a fart with three feet, and he knew in his heart that he couldn't say it clearly.

If you want to ask this question clearly, there are only two people who are suitable, and that is the navigator on the ship. They are the people of the Golden River Country. However, He Jinrong did not go directly to the cabin to find the navigator, but went to the street of Thang Long Port, found the largest restaurant and got in, and soon returned to the ship with a large food box. If you want to tell the truth about others, you can't go empty-handed, what can you ask with empty words and white teeth? There is a way to spit out the truth after drinking, buy some hard dishes, a whole bottle of good wine, chat while eating, and when the wine is almost drunk, it is possible to tell the truth if you ask it inadvertently, He Jinrong is too experienced in this issue.

The wine was drunk until midnight, and the two navigators were young men in their early twenties, and they had never drunk He Jinrong, and they were all drunk by this old man. It can be seen that He Jinrong is also a veteran of the alcohol killing field, but he does not look proud, he returned to the stern tower alone, still carrying half a bottle of wine and a hug of braised pork in his hand, leaning on the side of the boat and pouring himself a drink.

The He family's ship stayed in Dayue Port for three days, and then left after loading and unloading the goods. The ship was gone, but He Jinrong said that he would wait for another maritime merchant's ship here, and he stayed. When he parted with his three sons, the old man took out a letter, which he asked someone to help write in Da Viet Port, and the recipient of the letter was a merchant surnamed Sun in Malacca Port. As for what was written in the letter, the old man didn't say anything, only said that he let his eldest son arrive at the port of Malacca, and if he didn't arrive in the middle of next month, he would hand over the letter to Boss Sun, so as not to miss someone's business.

On the tenth day after the He family's ship left Dayue Port, a Guangzhou ship flying the Yellow Dragon flag of the Great Song Dynasty sailed into Dayue Port, and there was immediately a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the port. This is the ship of the Song Dynasty, and the officials and Han people of Dayue Port have run to the dock in anticipation, and no one knows why the official ship suddenly appeared here.

But the boat disappointed them, it did not dock, but put down a small boat and rowed to the pier, a few sailors came down, and after a little inquiry, they picked up He Jinrong, who lived in the inn, into the dinghy, and rowed back to the big boat. Then the Canton ship with the Yellow Dragon flag hoisted its sails and flew away, making the Dayue officials and Han merchants on the dock a little confused.
