Chapter 527: Arriving in San Francisco (Three Watches!) )
After Wang Fuzi finished asking the question he wanted to ask, it was Liu Dascar's turn to ask.
Liu Da's problem is different from that of Wang Fuzi, what he cares about is that he used to be a pirate, and if he wants to become a soldier or something after becoming a citizen, will it be affected.
Although Wang Shan gave an explanation for this, Liu Da still had no confidence in his heart.
Therefore, he hoped to take this opportunity to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said the same, then he would have nothing to worry about.
Although Liu Da Scar also wants to own the land, he also wants to make contributions.
After all, he is very young, and he doesn't want to be so old as Master Wang.
Young people always have a little purpose in life.
He used to be a pirate, so this life goal is a bit unrealistic.
However, when he heard that he had entered the household registration of Zhao Song, he was not to blame for all the previous things, and he was treated as a good citizen again.
In this way, he was moved.
If you are registered and have a field, you will have security.
After having the guarantee, he can join the army without worries and come to Bo to get his background.
And when I came into contact with Wang Shan, I heard from Wang Shan that the Zhao and Song empires still valued military merits.
Liu Da, who was still a little confident in his ability, suddenly saw hope.
Moreover, you can also have a little capital to pursue that Chen family's sister paper.
"Well, Your Highness, I'm not very good at talking. I also have a lot of questions to ask, and I don't know if it's okay. ”
When Zhao Hongyu finished talking with Wang Fuzi, Liu Da Scar opened his mouth and asked at the right time.
Because of Zhao Hongyu's identity and status, Liu Da Scar looked a little cramped and uneasy, and it looked very funny to sit there and twist his buttocks.
In fact, his face is very hot now, but because he has lived at sea all the year round, his face is tanned and swarthy, so even if he blushes, he can't see it.
Otherwise. He had to be even more shy and uneasy.
As soon as Liu Da Scar spoke, Zhao Hongyu diverted his attention from Wang Fuzi's body.
He smiled and looked at Liu Da Scar and said, "Brother has something to ask, don't want mother-in-law and mother-in-law, it's better to be happy between you." ”
Zhao Hongyu's style made Liu Dascar very happy all of a sudden.
He raised his big fan-like hand and stroked it on the back of his head, smirking 'hey, hey, hey' while touching it, and at the same time said in his mouth: "This highness the prince is really happy, I am a rough person, I like to go straight." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very good appetite for me. ”
Master Wang rolled his eyes on the side.
However, Wang Fuzi did not open his mouth to stop Liu Da Scar from selling roughly, because after Wang Fuzi and Zhao Hongyu came into contact, they found that this Royal Highness of the Zhao Song Empire did not seem to be so particular about some rules.
Moreover, Liu Da was scarred like this, and it seemed that the prince was not angry.
If he reminded Liu Da Scar to pay attention to the rules, let him be decent, but it would make the prince angry.
So, the prince didn't speak.
"We're just a body. They all have to eat and drink Lazar, which is no different from ordinary people. If you have anything to say, brother, you can say it, let's not prosper the Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhao Hongyu waved his hand with a big grin, and he had the momentum of a mountain king.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu's style. The nervousness of Liu Da Scar suddenly disappeared.
In its place, there is a sense of intimacy.
Such a change in his heart made even Liu Da Scar feel strange.
But he was a rough man after all, and he didn't pay much attention to this change.
Anyway, this prince is just as he said. Quite an appetite for him, isn't it.
In the Ming Dynasty, Liu Da Scar also came into contact with many superiors or scholars.
These guys are shaking their heads one by one, quoting scriptures. From time to time, he claims to be a gentleman and a moral model, as if he is worried about the people of the world.
But behind the scenes, there are male thieves and female prostitutes, and it is very unbearable to completely get into the eyes of money.
At the same time, these guys say one thing and do another, and they look down on people like them.
Therefore, Liu Da Scar was very unhappy with those people in the Ming Dynasty.
Even if it's a small fart official with a big sesame seed, one by one is yelling at five and six and doesn't know what to say.
On the other hand, the prince of Zhao Song did not have that kind of style.
If you want to talk about the identity of the wheel or something, isn't Zhao Hongyu's identity much more noble than those in the Ming Dynasty.
When he ascends the throne in the future, he will be the same as the Son of Heaven.
But the people seemed amiable, and there was no pretentiousness at all.
Well, Zhao Hongyu looks so vulgar so deliberately, in Liu Dascar's opinion, it is called amiable.
Liu Da scarred his fists and said in an urn: "I used to be a pirate, and I want to enter the Zhao Song household registration. After entering the household register, His Royal Highness said that he was a good citizen, and the past disappointments were not investigated, so can I join the army as a good citizen and gain a reputation? ”
For this point, Zhao Hongyu and Song Hu, Wang Shan and Zhang Tie, including Professor Liu, have all discussed.
Therefore, he already had a draft in his heart.
Since you want to start immigrating from the Ming Dynasty, you must let those immigrants from the Ming Dynasty taste the sweetness.
Land alone is not enough, but also give them a chance to become officials and get ahead.
After all, in their bones, Chinese people like to be officials.
This has not changed even in later generations.
It's just that these Ming immigrants want to be officials, that is, petty officials.
Too big an official, that's impossible to do for them.
Therefore, the imperial examination and joining the army, the empire did not stop it.
On the contrary, it is very supportive.
That is, their achievements cannot be very high.
It was only after they had lived in the Americas for three or four generations that the positions at the top of the empire slowly opened up.
This is also an inevitable choice.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu nodded with a smile, and said to Liu Dascar: "Of course you can, that is, good citizens should be able to join the army, and promotion rewards should be accompanied by military merits, our Zhao Song and Daming are not the same, they never drink the blood of soldiers and oppress soldiers." ”
Liu Dascar smiled and nodded: "General Wang Xiao has talked to me about these things, but I don't have a bottom in my heart." That's why I asked. Since even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so, I have nothing to worry about. ”
I have to say that although Liu Da Scar is uneducated, he is still a little smart.
Zhao Hongyu didn't care about Liu Dascar's cautious eyes.
After all, it's not wrong to let people go so far to get into the household registration, and people are not wrong to be careful.
This is understandable.
Subsequently, Zhao Hongyu chatted with Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar for a while, and he explained to the two of them all aspects of the empire, so that they had a deeper understanding.
After listening to Zhao Hongyu's narration and assurance. At this time, Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar no longer had any worries.
In short, it sounds much stronger than that from the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that in the end, you have to look at the land to make the final decision.
For this, Zhao Hongyu was not angry.
After seeing that Zhao Hongyu did not object, but was very supportive, Wang Fuzi and Liu Da Scar were really convinced.
The flotilla continued its voyage north along the coastline, and after about three days, the flotilla finally reached its first destination.
San francisco. That is, the future history of San Francisco, also known as San Francisco.
Historically, it has been known for the discovery of large quantities of gold veins, and it is precisely because of the large quantities of gold that have been discovered. That's why it attracted a large number of gold diggers to come here, and eventually established a city.
And because of the gold, a large number of Chinese were sold here and became miserable gold diggers.
These are more than 100 years later.
At this time. Historically, San Francisco is still a dense, vibrant, but uninhabited area.
It is teeming with a large number of animals. There are also quite a few small Indian tribes living here.
In short, it's so peaceful, so peaceful.
The fleet stopped at sea not far from the shore, and Zhao Hongyu and the others slowly sailed towards the shore in a small boat.
Old Master Wang and Liu Da Scar, as well as the Ming pirates who were treated, also got on the boat and accompanied them.
Because these people have made up their minds to enter the imperial household register, they must look at this place and see the wasteland that will be allocated to them in order to feel at ease.
As long as the land is really fertile, they will join the empire immediately.
San Francisco has a somewhat strange topography and a large inland lake a short distance east of the shore.
In later generations, the lake was called Lake Francisco and had a large opening connecting the Pacific Ocean. It can be said that it is definitely a good place to establish a city here.
San Francisco is densely forested in the north and south, rich in timber and wildlife, and a large number of historical gold veins are also located at the north and south ends.
To the west on the banks of San Francisco is a fertile plain that can be used to cultivate fertile land for food. At the same time, around the inland lake, a large number of freshwater streams are divided, which provides abundant irrigation guarantee for fertile land.
With a little bit of development, it's definitely a top notch place.
At the same time, the climate here is also good.
Wang Fuzi and Liu Da scarred them, and when they came to the shore, they were dumbfounded.
It's a treasure trove of gems.
It's definitely not the barren land they imagined, or the barren land.
200 acres of land, absolutely earned.
"Do we want any land?"
Wang Fuzi waited for his eyes to turn his head, looked at Zhao Hongyu and asked.
"The north and south forests are not good, after our survey, there are a lot of gold veins, we are good those who have been fighting for several years, and so many soldiers have been killed and wounded, for the sake of those gold, it is impossible to cheapen you."
Although Zhao Hongyu had a smile on his face, he looked harmless to humans and animals.
But after listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, Wang Fuzi still trembled.
He secretly regretted it, and scolded himself in his heart for getting a little carried away.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is easy to talk and has a good temper, he is the crown prince after all.
There are times when you can't be too complacent.
"You can first follow General Wang to see the wasteland that has been set aside, he is going to stay and garrison here. So when the time comes, you can allocate the land and find it. ”
Yes, when you come here, Wang Shan will be left behind temporarily.
Because Wang Shan is the last genetic person to have Zhao Hongyu's open permission, he must use his authority to start building some infrastructure here to prepare for a large number of Ming Dynasty immigrants.
Food, houses, and urban sanitation facilities all need to be built.
At the same time, he has to buy as many construction materials as possible from the trader. Only in this way can the framework of a city be built in a short period of time.
Moreover, the gold here is particularly important, and it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to give up.
In order to guarantee their own interests, the garrison is necessary.
With the garrison, the immigrants here will be honest.
If there is no garrison, then everything is difficult to say.
Hearing that Wang Shan would be stayed, Wang Fuzi was stunned for a moment and then showed a relieved look.
Yes, there is gold here, so how can the empire not have garrisons.
Moreover, gold is something that can only be developed by the state.
This was the same in the Ming Dynasty.
Originally, when Wang Fuzi heard that there was gold here, his heart beat rapidly a few times, but with Zhao Hongyu's words, he slowly calmed down.
That's not something you can figure out.
I don't have that much life to enjoy this gold.
Since the prince has told himself clearly, it means that people will not be afraid of this.
Besides, this is other people's territory, even if I want that gold, I can't fight for it.
Look at the strong soldiers of the empire, if you really fight this idea, then you can find death no different.
After figuring this out, Master Wang was calm.
Zhao Hongyu told Wang Fuzi that when there was gold here, such words were also revealed to others by other genetic people in various ways.
After Liu Da Scar heard about the gold, he just grinned and didn't think about it.
For this, he is better than Master Wang.
Liu Dascar thought very clearly, the gold was definitely not something he could think about.
Zhao Song and Shengfan have been fighting for so many years, and there must have been many casualties.
Isn't it gold that has paid such a big price?
If you think about these people who have no roots and feet here, it's like looking for death.
Moreover, not to mention that their lives were saved by others.
Be content, O man.
The other pirates reacted differently, some smiled indifferently, some didn't care, and of course some had some ideas.
But no matter what, after hearing that the Empire would be stationed here, they had to suppress any thoughts they had.
This is not their territory, and even if they have any ideas, it is unrealistic.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Hongyu will say it without concealing it at all.
"Wang Shan!"
After Zhao Hongyu and Wang Fuzi finished speaking, they shouted loudly.
"It's coming!"
Wang Shan, who was directing the genetics soldiers to set up temporary tents, immediately trotted all the way over.
"What are the instructions, Your Highness?"
"Immediately mobilize 4,000 men, divide them into two northern and southern camps, and at the same time determine the gold ore veins and establish a fortress."
With a force of 4,000 men, plus a few left behind when they left, it was impossible for anyone to make any waves.
Zhao Hongyu, who was determined, turned his head and smiled at Master Wang: "Master, I will also stay here for a few days, so let's just go and see the wasteland of the plain." (To be continued......)
