Chapter 875: Big Boss, Think About Your Children and Grandchildren (Three Watches!) )
"The Dutch bought us from Zheng Zhilong, and originally intended to take us back to Europe to be sold, or to be used as slaves. But on the way they changed their minds, and eventually led us to the American continent. ”
Wang Fuzi told Li Xiang little by little about what happened to them, and one of them caught Li Xiang's attention.
That's because Wang mentioned a word he had heard of 'America'.
However, Li Xiang did not interrupt Master Wang's words, but listened quietly.
"At that time, Liu Dascar was hung on a pole by the Dutch for three days because he rebelled against the Dutch, and the vicious sun had already caused Liu Dascar to lose half of his life, and we all thought he couldn't live at that time."
Wang Fuzi mentioned the condition suffered by Liu Da Scar at that time, which caused Li Xiang and the others to look at him.
As pirates who live on the sea all year round, they really know all too well how powerful the sun on the sea is.
Especially after a person has been exposed to the sun for three days, everyone knows very well what will become of him.
Therefore, Li Xiang's eyes when they looked at Liu Da Scar were full of sympathy.
Yes, Liu Da Scar is still alive now, I have to say that his life is hard for this kid.
You must know that when Li Xiang was young, he also dealt with prisoners and those who opposed him in this way.
Those people's luck is not as good as Liu Da's scar.
Basically, none of the people who have been tortured like Li Xiang can survive.
"Master's words are right, I thought I was going to be doomed like this."
Facing everyone's gaze, Liu Dascar nodded and admitted this.
Wang Fuzi continued: "Just when we were already in despair, the Dutch encountered the fleet of the Song Empire in the Americas. At that time, the Song Empire was waging war against the Dutch, and it was said that it was raiding all the cities of the Dutch in the Americas. When he said this, Wang Fuzi's face flashed with bursts of luster, and Li Xiang was amazed.
"The Hadholland people who transported us didn't know the news of the Dao, but even if they did, it was useless at the time. Because the fleet of the Song Empire was very large at that time. And the Dutch who transported us were only a sea vessel. A look of schadenfreude appeared on Mr. Wang's face when he mentioned this matter, and Li Xiang was a little amused.
"The Dutch told the people of the Song Empire in the Americas that they were going to the cities under the rule of the Song Empire in the Americas to sell, and finally let the people of the Song Empire know about our existence." , Wang Fuzi's eloquence is not bad, and Li Xiang and they are very fascinated by what they hear. "When the people of the Song Empire knew that we were slaves from the East, they immediately killed all the Dutch and threw them into the sea, and then rescued us."
"At the end of the day, the people of the Song Empire also used a medical technique that we had not seen. saved Liu Da Scar. That's what we've been through this year. ”
As Master Wang's voice fell, Li Xiang spoke: "Listen to what you say, it was those people from the Song Empire who saved you?" ”
Wang Fuzi nodded: "Yes, we were rescued by the people of the Song Empire. And we have also joined the household registration of the Song Empire, and have become the subjects of the Song Empire. ”
Wang Fuzi admitted this, and also broke a fierce news.
Ooh!
actually joined the Song Empire and became a subject of the Song Empire.
However, since they had joined the Song Empire and become its subjects, what did they come back for?
Li Xiang was a little confused all of a sudden.
"Lao Wang. You said you joined the household registration of the Song Empire? Have you become a subject under his rule? ”
Facing Li Xiang's inquiry, Wang Fuzi nodded: "It's not just me, Liu Da Scar and others are like this." The big boss, after we went through this one. A lot of things have been taken lightly. It's not a long-term solution for us to be pirates at all, and in the end we still have to be good citizens, after all, we are all dragging our families with us. ”
Regarding Wang Fuzi's choice, Li Xiang didn't want to say anything.
After all. This is their choice, and Li Xiang can only respect it.
What's more, Master Wang, they can be regarded as saving themselves. And the big guys.
Therefore, it is impossible for Li Xiang to say anything about this.
"Brothers can have a good home, of course I, the eldest brother, am happy for you. It's just that you really think that the Song Empire is a good choice? ”
Li Xiang was very curious about this.
"Uncle, you don't know what to do. After entering the household registration of the Song Empire, they will give a family 200 acres of fertile land in a place called Jinshan. I and Mr. Wang have already seen it, and those are all high-quality fertile fields. ”
What!
entered Zhao Song's household registration, and the family actually sent 200 acres of high-quality fertile land? !
This shocked Li Xiang.
Although Li Xiang's family wealth is definitely more than 200 acres of fertile land, when he heard Liu Da Scar's words, he still felt that his heart was beating faster.
"We've divided the land, just because we don't have enough people. That's why I begged the crown prince of the Americas to come back with us, and the master planned to take out the family members in the Ming Land, and then buy some homeless people to go back to be landlords. And I plan to come back and take the money I left behind, and go to Mingdi to buy some homeless people and go back to help me farm. Those are all high-quality fertile fields, and the land is very fertile, and it is really distressing if it is barren. ”
"If you join the household registration, you will get 200 acres? Anyone? ”
Lin Zhaodi, who was beside Li Xiang, asked at this time.
Wang Fuzi nodded: "Yes, as long as you are registered, you will be given 200 acres of land." However, after we enter the household register, we can only be good citizens, and we cannot continue to do the things of the past. If we are traitors, then how dare people clean us up, they still have to clean us up. After finishing speaking, Master Wang looked at Lin Zhaodi and said, "What, Brother Lin is interested in naturalization?" ”
Seriously, Lin Zhaodi is indeed a little excited.
Don't look at him as Li Xiang's direct confidant, but he hasn't saved much money over the years.
And now he's lost an arm, so he's always having a headache about what to do.
At the same time, he himself is also old, and he has an old wife and a son who is five big and three coarse.
Don't look at him as a pirate, in fact, in his heart, he doesn't want his son to follow his own old path at all.
Looking at his current situation, you can see that this path is not a good path at all.
God knows when his son will die at sea, and his family is now such a seedling. I can't help but Lin Zhaodi doesn't worry about this.
If there was a choice, Lin Zhaodi felt that it would be good to let his son leave here with Wang Fuzi and them, and enter Zhao Song's household registration and go to the Americas to become a landlord.
At least, his son has a way out.
Although he hasn't saved much money over the years, he can still buy some homeless people from Daming.
"Well, it's a little exciting."
Lin Zhaodi is a bastard, he doesn't care what Li Xiang thinks after he responds like this.
"The big boss, I don't know that there is a saying that the master should not say."
Wang Fuzi looked at Li Xiang seriously at this time and asked.
Wang Fuzi's words have already made Li Xiang ponder.
Now he listened to Master Wang's question. At that moment, it was clear what Master Wang's plan was.
It seems that Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar have other plans when they come back this time.
However, Li Xiang looked at Master Wang quietly and said, "They are all their own brothers, what is there to hide?" Just ask. ”
While saying this, Li Xiang sighed in her heart.
Since he had already guessed the purpose of Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar, and had heard that they had already told him that they were now registered in Zhao Song's side, it was not clear that they would not continue to be pirates now.
But. Even if he knew the Dao, he Li Xiang couldn't change anything.
After all, the brothers can find a way out, and he has to mention that they are happy as the eldest brother.
Li Xiang also understands very well. There is no future in being a pirate.
Especially when he is now beginning to be lonely, at will, he understands Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar very well.
As the former big brother, he felt that the choice of Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar was not wrong.
He is the kind of person with a small belly, so he is very sincerely happy that his brothers can have a good home.
It's just that. Now what he wants to know is what Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar came to see him for.
When I saw Mr. Wang, I was going to get down to business. Liu Da Scar sat there quietly and began to constantly check Li Xiang's reaction.
He was sweating in his heart, for fear that Li Xiang would do something unfavorable to them because of this.
Of course, this is all Liu Dascar's care. Wang Fuzi will not have this worry, because he knows Li Xiang very well, and knows that Li Xiang is not the kind of person who has no heart.
"Great boss, you are in a bad situation right now. As an old brother, I feel that you should find a way out for yourself and your brothers. ”
Mr. Wang's words did not surprise Li Xiang.
Because after what Master Wang said just now, Li Xiang guessed what Master Wang was going to say to himself.
"Lao Wang, you may not know much about the current situation. Our current environment is even worse than a year ago, and the Ming Dynasty has given up on us, so what way can I retreat. ”
Li Xiang is now pretending to be confused.
However, Wang Fuzi did not expose this.
Hmph, the big boss and I are pretending to be confused, with his cleverness, can't he really understand what I say?
Impossible things.
However, since Li Xiang pretended to be confused, it would be better for her to say it more clearly.
Master Wang was not angry.
"Big boss, you are also old, and many of the old brothers are not young. Could it be that everyone has really been pirates all their lives? Even if we can be pirates for the rest of our lives, our family will always choose another way to follow, the reputation of being a pirate is always bad, if you can, you should consider it for the sake of children. ”
Wang Fuzi's words made Yang Biao and Lin Zhaodi's eyes flicker, they are all fathers.
Therefore, Mr. Wang's words really entered his heart.
Don't talk about the two of them, Li Xiang is not like this.
Don't look at them as kelp, but they also want their children not to be like themselves, but to study and get ahead.
It's just that their current identity is pirates, and the environment in which they live is destined to make it impossible for their children to grow up as they imagined.
This is also a very helpless thing.
"Alas!" After Li Xiang was silent for a long time, he let out a long sigh.
"Lao Wang, no one wants their children and grandchildren to follow this path, but what choice do we have? A lot of times you can't control that, because it's all God's arrangement. ”
Li Xiang's face was very embarrassed.
"I can't say that, there's an opportunity right now. If the big boss catches it, then everyone can be a good citizen again, and then let their children and grandchildren study, maybe they can really get ahead in the future. ”
Wang Fuzi interrupted Li Xiang's words, looked at him seriously and said.
"Lao Wang, what do you mean is that we are allowed to enter the household registration of the Song Empire and become the subjects of the Song Empire?"
Li Xiang didn't bother to pretend to be stupid at this time, he directly pointed out what Master Wang wanted to say.
Wang Fuzi nodded heavily and did not deny it, and at the same time he said to Li Xiang seriously: "Big boss, the current situation is very unfavorable to you. Zheng Zhilong's side is eyeing us, and the Ming Dynasty has also given up on us, and has turned to favor Zheng Zhilong, in this case, what are our odds of winning? ”
Without waiting for Li Xiang to refute himself, Wang Fuzi continued: "Even if you defeat Zheng Zhilong, you are still pirates in the end, and this cannot be changed at all, right?" ”
What Master Wang said was not wrong at all, and he couldn't help but admit it.
Therefore, Li Xiang could only nod silently, admitting that what Master Wang said was very correct.
"Yes, we've been pirates all our lives. At the same time, it also affected their own relatives, so that they had no way to get rid of such an identity. ”
Listening to the dialogue between Wang Fuzi and Li Xiang, Yang Biao and Lin Zhaodi really didn't have a good feeling in their hearts.
Yang Biao has been married for five years, and his wife gave birth to a big fat boy for him last year, which can be regarded as letting Yang Biao have a queen.
But the problem is that after having children, men generally think differently than when they were single.
Take Yang Biao as an example, although his children are still young, he will also think about his identity from time to time and worry about his children's future.
As a father, Yang Biao hopes that his son can have a better life, instead of thinking that he is a pirate who everyone spurns like his father.
Not to mention Lin Zhaodi, his son is already an adult, and he is doing things on the boat with Li Xiang.
If there was a choice, Lin Zhaodi would never let his son do this. After all, he lost an arm for this, and he didn't want his son to lose his life.
But the question is, what can his son do if he doesn't do this?
If you can still choose to be a farmer in the Ming Dynasty, but here, you can only be a pirate.
"The big boss, take everyone into Zhao Song's household registration and be a good citizen. Each family still has 200 acres of land, isn't it better to be a small landlord than to be a pirate? ”
Wang Fuzi finally said what he wanted to say when he came to see Li Xiang. (To be continued......)
