Chapter 504: Measure
"Do you think I'm a demon?"
Liu Da's reaction to the scar had long been expected by Master Wang.
Belch!
"Yes, no! No! That's not true. ”
was asked by Master Wang, Liu Dascar subconsciously answered, but he immediately reacted and shook his head again and again.
"You don't have to be like this, in fact, I don't know why I have such thoughts. Maybe I'm old. ”
Mr. Wang's words were full of sighs.
Yes, he is in his fifties this year, and he is about to turn sixty.
In this day and age, sixty-year-olds are very rare.
It is important to know that medical technology in ancient times was underdeveloped, and the living environment was very difficult.
As a result, there are very few people who live to be sixty years old.
This is also the reason why there is a saying that 'sixty ancient times are rare'.
Although there are people in this era who live to be sixty or seventy years old, there are really too few such people.
It was precisely because of his age and this experience that Wang Fuzi came up with such an idea.
During the days when Liu Da was in a coma, Wang Fuzi wandered around and talked with the genetic soldiers, and felt that Zhao Song's people were still very easy to deal with.
They don't have some bad personalities of those people on the side of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Fuzi knows this very well.
And those genetic soldiers also sent invitations to him, intentionally or unintentionally instilling some ideas in him.
In short, Daming's side is not good, so let's come to Zhao Song.
It's better to be a good citizen and divide the land than to be a pirate.
The fact that they are pirates cannot be concealed anymore.
The original captain of the Tulip had already told them this identity.
Yes, if there is a way out, it is always better than being a pirate.
When Wang Fuzi became a pirate, wasn't it because he couldn't survive?
Thinking about when I was younger. Wang Fuzi fell into the memory.
Yes, how did you become a pirate?
That year, the hometown was flooded, so that it was washed away in two days.
Wang Fuzi's family also fell into a situation of lack of food and clothing, and in order to survive, they left their hometown and walked from one city to another.
In this process, Master Wang has seen too many miserable scenes in the world.
In order to survive, the displaced people continued to riot and storm the granaries of the yamen in various counties, but most of them were suppressed.
There are also people who eat in order to survive and even change their children.
Those scenes kept replaying in Wang's mind. That scene will never be forgotten by Master Wang in his life.
Until one day, he joined the pirate group by mistake, which can be regarded as finding a way for his family to live.
It was also from that time that Wang Fuzi died of the heart of scientific research and became a pirate for his family.
Although the pirates seem to be superficial, the members of the lower ranks still make very little money.
Most of the wealth was actually divided among the high-level pirate members.
Those members at the bottom are just mixed and fed.
But in any case, it is always better than coming from the mainland of Daming.
Least. There is no oppression by officials and no exploitation by landlords.
Although the pirate bosses will exploit a little, they will always give them six ways to survive.
Things won't be so drastic.
In this way, Wang Fuzi has been a pirate for thirty years. I also slowly accumulated a sum of money.
And in the past 30 years, I have become a master of a low-level small boss.
Compared to the average pirate, he's a pretty good mix.
But pirates can't be a pirate for a lifetime.
After all, this is a knife head licking blood business.
This time it was captured by the Dutch. It's a living proof of this.
If it weren't for their shit luck and the whimsical nature of that Dutch captain, they would have met Lord Hades a long time ago.
So. After being rescued, Wang Fuzi began to think about what he would do in the future.
Originally, Master Wang thought that it was impossible for them to return to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he was very concerned about his wife and children at home, but he was helpless.
But things took a turn for the worse, and the people who rescued them were actually descendants of Zhao Song, and these people were planning to go to Daming to worship their ancestors and trade.
In this way, wouldn't he be able to go home?
Thinking of returning to Daming, Master Wang was of course very happy.
But then I thought, what will I do when I go back?
Pirates can't go any further.
If you continue to do this, it will definitely not end well.
He is not a bachelor, and he has a wife and children at home.
Now that his wife is old, her daughter is an old girl before she gets married, and her son has not married a wife honestly.
What would they do if they died?
On the side of the Zhao Song Empire, it seems that it is really a good choice.
As long as you are willing to join the Zhao Song Empire and become its people, you can get a hundred acres of fertile land.
That's a hundred acres of fertile land.
This 100 acres of fertile land is enough to make him a small landlord, and he no longer has to worry about eating and drinking.
And I heard that the rice seeds on the side of the Song Empire can harvest more than six stones per acre of land, so if you calculate it, the harvest of a hundred acres of land will be ...... Hey, I can't imagine it.
Of course, a hundred acres of land cannot only grow grain, but also some other vegetables or something.
And you can also raise some chickens and ducks yourself.
In this way, there is food and meat to eat, what are you worried about in this life?
And in addition to the 100 acres divided, he can also buy a few Kunlun slaves.
At that time, he could also be a landlord.
O land!
O good land!
I have to say that for the descendants of Yan and Huang, the allure of land is very huge.
And a hundred acres of land is indeed very attractive to Mr. Wang.
Old Master Wang carefully calculated that he had been a pirate for thirty years, and he had saved more than 1,300 taels of silver by frugality.
yes, there is no difference at all, it is more than three hundred taels of silver.
This is a pirate.
How could he still save money for a profitable business.
In fact, being a pirate is not a matter of making a fortune.
Those who make a fortune are the leaders of the pirates.
As for the underlying members. I can only hehe.
This more than 1,300 taels of silver, what do you buy on Daming's side?
If you buy land, the thin field is eight taels of silver per mu, the mountain field is five taels of silver per acre, the wasteland is three taels, and the high-quality fertile land ranges from twelve taels to fifteen taels of silver.
Of course, this is the official price.
In a disaster year, some land-owning farmers often sell their fields at a cheaper price to survive.
And at this time, the lords of the land. will go on a buying spree.
In addition, it will also drive the price down again.
Looking at it this way, Wang Fuzi's more than 1,300 bright silver seems to be able to buy a lot of land.
But things can't be seen that way.
First of all, he is a pirate.
In the Ming Dynasty, he no longer had a household registration.
Therefore, if he wants to return to live in Daming, then he must first buy off some people in the yamen to get a new household registration for himself.
With this family register. He can live a decent life.
But those who bought the county government must spend money to pay for it, so that a few hundred taels of silver will definitely cost a lot of money.
At the same time, after getting their own household registration. It also costs money to buy a house on land.
Although in this era, you can buy a good house with a few dozen taels of silver, but as a prince, you have to be cautious.
After all, he was a pirate.
Therefore, buying a house has to go through the tooth man. But the tooth man is familiar with the people on the Yamen's side, so he must know his identity, so he will definitely be cheated.
Moreover. The number of people who have been pitted is certainly not small.
When all this is done, it can't be reassured.
From time to time, some hush money, as well as a small amount of money, have to be spent.
With more than 1,000 taels of silver, he couldn't help such a search at all.
When you are scavenged, won't you still be dead when the time comes.
Regarding the official methods of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Fuzi couldn't be clearer.
Didn't he think about its place?
In fact, Chinese people generally rarely leave their hometowns, even if they are uprooted from their hometowns, there is a saying that they return to their roots.
This kind of concept is deeply rooted in the bone marrow in any era.
Even in the 21st century, the Chinese people would have such a concept, let alone the Ming people in the 17th century.
It is precisely because of this concept that Wang Fuzi did not think about living with his family in other places in the past.
Even if there are so many dangers, he plans to return to Daming to retire.
But now, a new door has opened.
The Zhao and Song empires of the Americas.
If you go there, you will have 100 acres of land, go to open up the wasteland by yourself, be tax-free within three years, and hand over 30% of the harvest after three years, and the rest will completely belong to yourself.
That's just too little.
And this 100 acres of land is divided for free, and you don't have to spend a penny of your own money.
In this way, all the more than 1,000 taels of silver he had on hand were saved.
Wang Fuzi asked, on the side of the Zhao and Song Empires, this more than 1,000 taels of silver can be exchanged for more than 1,000 pieces of Longyang, and the ratio is one to one.
And with this money, you can buy fifty or sixty Kunlun slaves.
Fifty or sixty Kunlun slaves don't need so many, ten is about the same.
When the time comes, the money can also buy some more wasteland for reclamation.
In this way, don't you have more than 100 acres of land on hand?
O landlord!
After becoming a landlord, he could still be a good citizen in Zhao Song.
You don't have to worry about the oppression of officials, you can live a happy life, right?
Once, he was also worried about the darkness of the Zhao and Song Empires.
But the statements of those Zhao Song soldiers on this matter made Wang Fuzi feel a little relieved.
There were no corrupt officials in the Zhao and Song empires for hundreds of years, but anyone who dared to oppress the good people was punished by the nine clans.
Such a punishment is not without cruelty.
But it is precisely like this, Wang Fuzi feels that Zhao Song's side is suitable for life.
Without the oppression of officials, then there is nothing to worry about.
The only thing that made Wang Fuzi regret was that he heard these things from Sergeant Zhao Song, not what he saw with his own eyes.
It would be nice if you could go to the Zhao Song Empire to experience it for yourself and take a look. (To be continued......)
