With a series of hurried school bells, Qiwang Primary School immediately boiled, and the students who were in class units left the classroom, and then dispersed in a hurry, leaving in pairs. And Chou Chou was naturally with Yanyan, the two went to the carport to get the car, and then Chou Chou carried her to the school gate, where the carriage that picked up Yanyan was already waiting.

"Ugly, don't forget to promise me!" After Yeon-yeon got into the carriage, she leaned on the window and shouted to the ugly ugly.

"Don't worry, my father loves me the most, if he doesn't agree, I won't eat!" Chouchou turned his head and said while riding, but accidentally hit a classmate in front of him who was also riding a bike, and Yanyan giggled as a result.

This morning, Chou Chou agreed to teach Yanyan to learn to ride, but it soon occurred to her that yesterday her father had decided to take the family to the Lion City to play, so the whole winter vacation may not be in Taiwan, so naturally there is no way to teach Yanyan to ride again. However, instead of being disappointed, Yeon-yan was very excited, because her father, Wang Guo, had just been transferred to the Lion City at the beginning of this year, and had not been home for almost a year now, and Yeon-yan missed him very much, so in the end, Yeon-yan asked Chou-chou for help, and when the family went to the Lion City, they must take her with them, and then she could celebrate the New Year with her father.

For the good sister's request, Chou Chou naturally agreed, after all, in her opinion, this is just a trivial matter, and if Yeon-yeon can also go, she also has a companion on the road, presumably this trip will definitely be more interesting.

In fact, Li Su is indeed a little doting on Ugly, and when he heard that Ugly wanted to let Wang Guo's daughter go with him, he answered without thinking about it. Then he begged Wen Xin to find Wang Guo's wife and told him about it. And although Mrs. Wang felt a little child's play, she thought that her husband had not come back for a long time. It's normal for her daughter to think about him, so she finally agreed.

Half a month later, Li Su finally left for the Lion City, and in addition to taking the whole family with him, Li Yun and Li Zhen's families also accompanied him. It's just that after arriving in the Lion City, Li Su will send a fleet to escort them to Tianzhu.

Because there were many people who went this time, and most of them were important people, Li Su mobilized ten main warships to escort the escort. In addition, there are ships carrying people such as the King of Qi. However, when their fleet left the port, there were still a lot of fleets behind, they were all going from Taiwan to Malacca, this time just by the way to follow, although now the pirates from Taiwan to Malacca have been exterminated, but the sea is unpredictable, no one knows what danger will be encountered, and it is safer to follow the large fleet.

And on a small sea boat behind Li Su's fleet, a thin black man in a half-worn cotton coat stood at the bow of the boat. I saw him look at the surrounding fleet with surprise on his face, and at the same time, his eyes showed a little apprehension.

"Brother Shi, why are you still standing there, come back and eat quickly!" At this time. A little fat man in the same costume spoke in the back, with a faint look of excitement on his face.

"Well, right away!" The thin black young man known as Brother Stone agreed. Then he looked at the sea in front of him and the other big ships around him, and the apprehension in his eyes was gone. Instead, it was replaced with a color of intoxication.

This stone brother was the first batch of fugitives who moved from Jianzhou to Taiwan, and was later assigned to Tainan County. The family of nine was divided into 900 acres of land, and the old man of the stone, the Tie family, was close to them, which was also 900 acres of land, so the two families simply joined together on the spot and set up a small plantation, except for planting some necessary grain, all the others were planted into sugar cane.

After several years of development, the plantations of the Shijia and Tiejia were finally developed, and nearly 2,000 acres of fields were all planted with sugarcane, for which the two families also bought more than 80 middle-aged slaves to work, and also hired more than a dozen Silla overseers, these Silla people can speak Chinese, and they are all second-class aliens, so they can be used with confidence.

With the output of this plantation, the Shi family and the Tie family gradually had some savings, and even bought a house in a town not far away, where Shi's father and mother usually lived, and the children of the family no longer had to stay in the plantation to help, but were sent to the town's primary school to go to school, I heard that if they learned well, they could become officials in the future, so Shi sent his younger brothers and sisters over, usually only he and his wife Toon took care of the plantation, and the same was true for the Tie family.

Although after having a plantation, Shishi's family had no worries about food and clothing, but before Shishi came to Taiwan, he already had his own ambition, that is, he wanted to earn more money and then give his family a better life, and although the output of the plantation was stable, it was too small to support the life he wanted.

It was precisely with this idea in mind that after thinking about it again, Shi finally decided to go out to do business, as for the plantation, there is no need to worry, because his father and mother are not used to living in the town, and moved to the plantation to take care of it, plus his second brother is already sixteen years old, he can already help take care of the plantation, and there are several brothers of the Tie family, so there is no need to worry.

For the idea of the stone, although the toon is reluctant, but it can't be stopped, after all, the stone is also to make the family live a better life, so she and the stone father and mother together, packed up the family's belongings, and let the stone all be on her body. A few days later, the stone arrived in Tainan City, ready to find a chance to make a fortune.

Although the stone has not read, but the brain is very good, plus in the past few years he has taken care of the farm, while also knowing a few words, and even he gave himself a big name Chen Shang, the reason why he used this business word, mainly because he found that if you want to get rich, you can only be a businessman.

Shi stayed in Tainan City for a few months, and during these months he ran to the pier every day, because he found that the dock had the most people and the most well-informed, and all kinds of information could be inquired from there. In addition, newspapers are also a good channel, although he can't read some articles, but some news that publishes business information can still be seen.

It was also during these months of intelligence gathering that Stone found that if he wanted to do business, he needed to have a source of goods, and he had to be able to deliver them to buyers safely. These two conditions seem simple, but it is not easy to achieve.

For example, in terms of the first source of goods, such as porcelain, silk and other valuable and best-selling goods, he doesn't even have to think about it, because not to mention him, even some merchants who are not weak can not get the goods, these goods are generally in the hands of some large commercial houses along the coast, such as the commercial houses of the Qi Palace, the amount of silk shipped out every year accounts for one-third of the total export volume of silk, and the rest are all divided by some large commercial houses and big families.

Therefore, small merchants like Stone, who do not have much capital, at most buy some ordinary goods, such as cotton cloth, cane sugar, and so on. Fortunately, these ordinary goods are also relatively popular, but they need to be transported to a farther place for trading, and this is the second condition.

Taiwan is an island, if you want to transport goods safely to buyers, you naturally need to use sea ships, the general sea merchants have their own fleets, some even more than one, the stronger the sea merchants, the larger the fleet.

Small merchants like Stone naturally don't have the money to buy a boat, but it doesn't matter, because there are some trading houses that can provide charter services, specifically for small businessmen like them, each type of sea ship has different prices according to its performance, crew, size, etc., but when chartering a boat, a certain deposit needs to be paid.

Originally, on the condition of stones, it was not troublesome to get a batch of ordinary goods, for example, his family was a plantation, and he knew many plantation owners, so he didn't dare to say anything else, and he could still get some cane sugar. However, it was a bit troublesome to ship it out, because when chartering a boat, the deposit required was not a small amount, and he really couldn't take it out for a while.

However, at this moment, Shi was very lucky to meet his former companion Dunzi in the village. When they came to Tainan together, but the land they got was far away, so they cut off contact with each other, but I didn't expect that Dunzi was also uneasy, and after the plantation at home was on the right track, he went to Tainan to work, and it happened that the two met on the street.

He has been in Tainan for nearly a year, and now he has been working in a factory, tired and tired every day, and he is tired of it, so the two hit it off, and Dunzi went home and said that his father was moved, anyway, he was an only son, and his father couldn't control him, so in the end, Dunzi took the family's money and made up with the stone, barely enough money for this purchase and charter.

So the stones and piers were brought in a batch of cheap cane sugar, and then the smallest sea boat was rented. Originally, they wanted to get together a big caravan to go, but they were lucky enough to catch Li Su to go to the Lion City, which made them very happy, and immediately sailed the boat to Keelung, and then set off with Li Su's fleet.

Thinking of the hardships of his trip to sea this time, Shi couldn't help but sigh, but thinking that if this batch of goods could be safely transported to the Lion City, he would sell it by himself, in addition to the cost of chartering the ship, he could make at least 20% of the profit, which made Shi couldn't help but be excited, this was the first time he made so much money at once.

However, Shi Shi was excited, but also a little regretful in his heart, because he had heard others say that in the past, a shipload of cane sugar transported to the Lion City could make at least twice the profit, but with the navy of His Royal Highness King Qi struck out the pirates in the South Seas, this trade route became more and more prosperous, but this also led to a significant reduction in the profits of commodities, such as cane sugar, which only has a profit of 20%, some powerful merchants can't look down on it at all, and only small merchants like them will transport such cheap goods.
