"If you go to the South Seas, you can divide the land, live in a big house, and make a fortune, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Big nephew, you have to seize this opportunity! Look at my uncle's satin, ten years ago, it was the fine silk that the master could afford! I went to Dongyi Island a little late, if I went to Dongyi Island eight years ago in the former Song Yuanyou like your third uncle, that is, eight years ago, I still have time to go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, and I am so busy every day that I hit the back of my head and make a lot of money! This time, he asked me to bring 500 yuan of money to your uncle to repair the ancestral hall, 2000 stones of various grains, silk and linen, pen, ink, paper, inkstone for the family Mengxue to do the wages for Mr. and the younger generations of children, nephews and grandchildren to go to school, this is amazing! This is a lot of money, but he earns pocket money for three months, do you think about how profitable Nanyang's business is? A strong laborer like you can earn a big house in one year, and in three years he can earn food that the whole family can't eat for ten years. With the guarantee of the uncle, you can directly go to any port in Nanyang that has the third uncle's shareholding to apply for a dock worker. If you do a good job, you can get three months' wages for local indigenous workers in one month, and you can become a leader in half a year. My three sons are all in Nangang on Dongyi Island as a clerk, but when I was playing with you in the mud, I was small, and now I have married the daughters of good families, started a family, have a house and a field, and my eldest son Bao Youtian wants to marry a two-room concubine to open up branches and leaves for the family! A richly dressed middle-aged old man persuaded his fellow villagers and juniors.

"Uncle, Nanyang really has such a big benefit!" The young student with an honest face asked hesitantly.

"This is still false, although after the founding of the new dynasty. Jun Ming is virtuous, tax reduction and exemption, and the big guy is much better than the previous dynasty. But our narrow township of Fujian, with seven mountains, two rivers and one field, can support such a large population. Your grandfather's generation is in his thirties, and he still combs his horns, pretending to be a child to escape taxes and servitude! How can there be such a good day today. In the past 20 years, the world has been leveled, and the population has gradually grown, and the number of Dingkou in the village alone has increased by more than 20 people, which is still a small amount, and there are at least more than 1,000 in more than 50 villages in the village. If it weren't for the fact that many villagers went to Nanyang to beg for a living like your uncle and third uncle, I don't know how much the rent, grain prices, and wives would have risen.

You're lucky, it's not as hard as your uncle used to be. There was nothing when we went, and that was really the one that the old gentleman taught. What's it called? The blue wisp of the road, yes, is called the blue wisp of the road. That is to say, when the land was cleared, they lived in wooden houses and thatched houses, and they ate coarse old rice and pickled vegetables. Although there is a place to see a doctor. But the high fever of diarrhea and mosquito bites is every day. Your boy will now go to those decent ports, not to suffer, but to enjoy. We have built a large number of formwork houses, even if it is easy to live in a brick house, the water supply and epidemic prevention there are very good, you go there is to work hard, earn money and enjoy happiness, so it is not much better than living in this ghost place? ”

"Uncle, then I haven't married yet, and I have parents and sisters at home. It's just a younger brother, I really can't leave! ”

"That's better. Your father is farming in the countryside, your sisters can work in the city, and your younger brother can also be sent to the academy opened in the city to open a monk. Nanyang is short of a whole family, all of your family can be exempted from the boat fare, if your sister marries and has children, there are subsidies, if you marry a mercenary security guard in a large company in Nanyang or a small head of the plantation, your third uncle and the clan will be wiped out.

How much silver does a 300-acre sugarcane field earn in a year (Chenji money is mainly silver coins, 5 grams of one yuan denomination is used the most, you can buy 100 copper yuan or 200 copper coins before the dynasty A bucket of about 10 kilograms of grain, the purchasing power is stable and the circulation is large, similar to the silver dollar of Yuan Datou in later generations), do you know? One acre of sugarcane field is the output of 10,000 catties, you can produce 1,200 catties to 1,500 catties of sugar, and now the sugar price on the market is 3 catties of one yuan, 300 mu is 120,000 yuan if you are less, and 150,000 yuan if you are more. If you grow food here, you won't be able to earn this money for the rest of your life.

Your third uncle started by planting 300 acres of wasteland contracted by himself, and then bought a boiler and drum press for boiling sugar and squeezing sugar on credit, and the family now earns as much money and grain as more than 300 households in our village for a year.

If you kid catches up with the good times, as clever as your third uncle, don't forget your uncle's tips when you find a way to make money. ”

"That's right! When the time comes, I will never forget my uncle's kindness! Tell me in detail how to divide the land and what kind of regulations to immigrate to Nanyang! ”

"This is the disadvantage of not going out to see the world, which village in these ten miles and eight townships is as closed as our village. No one goes out once a year. Every time, it is the tax collectors and merchants from the outside who come in to do business and sell goods, how can they have the time to introduce such good things to you fools. I can't keep my family busy! The regulations of immigrants are like this: first go to the county government to go through the household registration and immigration registration, and then you can leave your hometown after you have eliminated the household registration and become the household registration of the destination of the immigration............

Just when Bao Shoujin was bragging about what he had seen and heard in front of his nephew and encouraging the people to emigrate, his third cousin, Bao Songhui, who made a fortune by growing sugar cane and squeezing sugar, had already signed a unified purchase and underwriting agreement with the Dongyi Island Development Company, the emperor of the soil, no matter how the price of sugar fluctuated in the future. All are purchased according to the average price in the past three years (the ex-factory price wholesale price is about 0.275 yuan a catty) in the next three years, and the minimum number of purchases each year is the maximum output of today's Baojia Sugar Factory (a small workshop is more than 100,000 output value, even if the future output increases tenfold, it will only meet the minimum standard of Chenji's partners, that is, the sales of millions of Chenji money can be invested by Chenji's company, so that they can be tied together on Chenji's chariot. ）。

Unexpectedly, this shrewd guy turned around and went to the largest Beigang Industrial Colonization Bank in Dongyi Island to apply for a loan with a series of materials such as his cash crop planting subsidy receipt form, cultivated land grade certificate, land purchase contract, documents required for the operation of the sugar factory, tax bills, product quality inspection reports, past sales contracts and the underwriting contract that had just been signed.

"Boss Bao (this word has just become popular), all your loan conditions meet our requirements, but is this amount a little larger? All your property is only 2.78 million yuan, even if the valuation is relatively low, you can just get a mortgage of 3 million. And your land purchase loan has not been fully paid off, and there is still nearly 200,000 yuan of the final payment not to be paid off, so we cannot lend you the 5 million you need. According to our regulations, you can only borrow up to 2 million. This is already the limit of all the assets of your property plus the sugar factory. The land certificate that has not been obtained is not the land purchase contract and a bunch of land purchase receipts can be replaced, and the contract is not a land certificate, and it cannot be mortgaged to us, if you pay the balance to get the land certificate, you can mortgage an additional 2 million. ”

"That's it! Can I meet with your bank director, I think I can get some credit through this underwriting contract with Dongyi Island Development Company. (To be continued......)
